Just days before taking the stage for The Voice Season 28 finale, singer Aubrey Nicole returned to a very different stage: the one that started it all.
In a video posted to Instagram on December 7, the top 4 finalist is seen standing in the pews of the historic Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Hanover, Pennsylvania — her hometown Catholic church — singing a heartfelt rendition of "How Great Thou Art."
"I grew up in this Church," she wrote in the caption. "It was the first place I learned that my voice was the gift God had given me to praise him."
The clip, filmed just before she left for the finale, is a quiet, reverent moment that speaks volumes. In an industry often driven by noise and image, Aubrey’s return to church is a beautiful reminder of where true strength lies. Before the lights and cameras, she paused to reconnect with the source of her gift — and gave that gift back in worship.
In the final results, Aubrey Nicole placed fourth, which is in itself a tremendous achievement. But the video she shared may just be the most powerful performance of all. It shows a young artist who knows where she comes from, and Who she sings for.
You can also watch the impressive performance below of Nicole and Reba McEntire's Christmas song, "Mary, Did You Know?" below. (Yes, we know the theological issues with this song, but their voices are beautiful!)
