Transgender

When Jim as well as Sasha Allen appeared on The Voice Live Shows, they were able to make history since Sasha was the first transgender person in the NBC show that made it through The Battle Rounds in the entire 21 seasons. The Newtown duo of Jim and Sasha Allen are currently in the top 8 during the 21-year run of The Voice Live Shows! Sasha revealed that he's transgender and was featured in their Blind Auditions package. He told Parade.com that it was a long process to come up with the idea. "That was a difficult choice to make as it's exposing a vulnerable part of yourself to a lot of millions of folks," said Sasha, who went through a transition while at high school. "But [last week during fan week], seeing people's reactions to and support for the show as well as the impact it has had on the people showed this was a worthwhile decision and the right decision regardless of the fact that it was hard to come up with." "'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' is a song that has been included on the list of songs that we've always wanted to play on the show for a really lengthy time," Sasha told Parade.com. The Voice wasn't even around in the moment we performed this song. It was quite a surprise. It was a song we were familiar with and had some plans to put it together. "I was pleasantly surprised at how good the fan base nailed the song."
