Winner of “The Voice 2020”
Todd Tilghman is a pastor, husband, and father of eight children – he’s also the winner of “The Voice 2020”.
If you’re a fan of NBC’s “The Voice” competition, you know when contestants try-out, they’re praying that just one of the judges will turn around and pick them. During Todd Tilghman’s audition, all four judges swung around in their seats. So it’s no wonder he wound up the 2020 winner.
Tilghman chose Blake Shelton as his coach when the show premiered in February. Prior to the show, he said he had only ever sung at church.
In the finale, where each singer performed from home, Tilghman wowed the judges with Christian band Mercy Me’s popular hit “I Can Only Imagine.”
“My wife, Brooke, told me I would regret it if I didn’t go,” he said. “Thank God for her and thank God I changed my mind and decided to go. It’s been like a dream. Everyone keeps telling me to just soak it in, but it’s hard to do because you just can’t believe you are really there.”
Tilghman tells CBN the entire experience has actually been good for his family. “We’ve always been a really close family, but I actually think this has caused us to come even closer,” he said.
His win earned him $100,000 and a record deal. Now there’s also talk of a book, and maybe even a reality TV show.
“I would love to share my faith and my family and who I am with the world,” he told CBN. “And show the world that there’s someone like me who just loves them unconditionally.”

好消息国度报导：
听到歌声，按下按钮，转身。
这是美国歌唱选秀节目美国好声音(The Voice)的海选，这次，所有评审在海选为一位41岁的美国牧师转身—托德‧蒂尔曼(Todd Tilghman)。蒂尔曼牧师从8岁起在教会里唱歌，从未受过专业歌唱训练，也没有在其他场合表演的经验。原本因为事务繁忙差点放弃甄选的他，在妻子的鼓励下参加美国好声音，靠着他情感浑厚的嗓音和稳健的台风一路过关斩将，获得评审青睐成为2020年美国好声音的冠军，获得奖金10万美元。
蒂尔曼牧师表示没想到海选时四位评审会这么快地为他转身，更从没想到他会得到冠军。他在冠军战演唱代表他根源的歌，基督教乐团Mercy Me的《I Can Only Imagine》。被问到未来计画和梦想时，蒂尔曼牧师希望他能透过他和他家人的生命向世人分享基督信仰，传达彼此相爱的关系，而非直接单谈信仰本身。
蒂尔曼牧师从七月开始已经在田纳西州的剧场(Theatre Of The Stars)有个人演唱会，并打算出唱片和出书，不排除未来可能参加实境节目。
蒂尔曼牧师不仅是节目开播以来最年长的冠军，还是教会牧师和八个孩子的爸。他原本以为赢得这次冠军会变得十分忙碌，与家人关系疏远。但这次的一战成名反而让他和原本感情就很好的家人更加亲近，因为他们相信上帝会为他们安排未来的道路，无论如何他们都会站在同一条船上，用信心顺其自然面对。
因为疫情和赢得歌唱节目冠军，蒂尔曼牧师说现在这段时间是他人生中最「奇怪(wierd)」的时光。相信如同蒂尔曼牧师在冠军决赛演唱的 I Can Only Imagine，看似不可能的梦想，倚靠上帝，凡事都有可能！
