MT grad and Top Five finisher on NBC's 'The Voice' set to return to BW

Jeremy Beloate '21 started with a four-chair turn from the coaches, and America's votes made him a finalist on the 26th season of the show. Now, he's coming back to his alma mater for a special January 2025 evening of conversation and song.

Strong triple-threat skills — acting, dancing and singing — are a given for students and graduates of Baldwin Wallace University's renowned music theatre program.

But one grad, Jeremy Beloate '21 from Memphis, Tennessee, focused everything on his vocal chops as he competed to the very end of a new season of "The Voice."

After earning a four-chair turn during the "Blind Auditions" for celebrity "coaches" Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg, Beloate continued to advance all the way to the Final 5 on the power of America's votes.

He will return to BW on January 16, 2025, for a special day of activities at his alma mater, including a free evening of music and inspiring personal stories.

BW support

 

While Beloate first chose Michael Bublé as his coach, he was later "stolen" by Snoop Dog in the battle rounds. 

There were several levels of competition on the show before the public chose the eventual winner in the Live Performance rounds. Along the way, his performances moved the judges to tears.

The BW community rallied to support Beloate in the voting, with cleveland.com and WKYC-TV helping to get the word out.

In the end, Beloate landed in 5th place after winning the opportunity to showcase his talent and gain a following all the way to the last show, where he performed a memorable duet of "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" with his coach. 

Incredible journey

American Songwriter noted that Beloate was among the fan favorites on social media.

"Once Jeremy Beloate began his stellar performance of Giveon's "Heartbreak Anniversary," it didn't take long for red chairs to start spinning . . . [He] hit every note flawlessly, securing a four-chair turn from all four coaches during Monday's (Oct. 7) episode of 'The Voice,'" the magazine wrote.

Ending up in fifth place, Beloate's journey was still much like one of the songs that moved him forward, "The Impossible Dream," a song he performed as a tribute to his two brothers and father, who passed away from addiction. 

There is no doubt his final five showing will open doors as Beloate continues to hit high notes in his young career.
