KILLEEN, Texas — The City of Killeen is making its presence known once again on "The Voice" with two contestants from the Killeen area: Jershika Maple and Emmanuel Hernandez.
Today, 6 News caught up with one of them - a Team Kelly member - and Killeen's own Maple. She said this is all a dream come true.
"Me opening my eyes and seeing that they turned around for me was like the best feeling in the world," she said.
She also shared a message for her supporters.
"I just want to tell all of my supporters, family and friends and fans: Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. This is truly a dream come true. I have dreamed of this ever since I was a little girl and you guys are literally helping me achieve my dreams as far as supporting me and being behind me," she said. "The love is truly overwhelming and I can't thank you guys enough."
Maple also encouraged supporters to keep watching the show and vote for her using "The Voice" app. You can catch Maple on 6 News during "The Voice" on Mondays and Tuesdays.
