LOS ANGELES — Are three Richland County sisters about to realize their musical dreams?

They certainly took a big step Tuesday night, with Madi, Ana, and Bella Heichel all advancing past the blind auditions of NBC's "The Voice." The trio call themselves Sorellé ("sisters" in Italian), and performed a harmony of Queen's "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" for the show's four judges.

By the time the Heichels had finished their song, both Blake Shelton and Chance the Rapper had turned their chairs for a shot to be their coach. Sorellé eventually chose the newcomer Chance, who praised their "theatrical" style and potential as young artists.

Based in the village of Lexington just south of Mansfield, Sorellé first went viral in 2014 with a cover of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" and have seen their platform grow ever since. The social media influencers previously appeared on the Nickelodeon program "America's Most Musical Family" in 2019 and host a daily web show on TikTok, where they boast more than three million followers.
