Three siblings, Caleb, Joshua, and Bekah Liechty, known as the folk trio Girl Named Tom, nailed their rendition of “Viva la Vida” in the famous singing competition worldwide, The Voice.

Before Girl Named Tom nailed their cover of the song on The Voice, Coldplay initially ruled the charts with “Viva la Vida.” Their track won Song of the Year in 2009 during the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

The Trio, Girl Named Tom

The siblings initially intended to pursue the medical profession, especially Caleb Joshua. Bekah later picked up interest in the same course when their mother suggested that they would form a band. Much to their surprise, their successes today in the music industry became huge since they won in the 21st season of The Voice.

Girl Named Tom’s Version

In the Challenge Week of The Voice, Girl Named Tom chose to perform “Viva la Vida,” and sure enough, they did not disappoint the fans and the judges.

The trio received praise from Blake Shelton as he commended their power to perform as a group, with their performance being the best in the contest. Their performance amazed John Legend, saying they enjoyed seeing the trio enjoying the stage.
