Maria Doyle-Cuche is one of the most amazing talents of season 9 of The Voice. With her crystal clear voice, she moved Lara Fabian to tears during the blind auditions. Mom of 7 children and blind since the age of 9, this Irish native qualified for the knockout test. In an interview for TV 7 days, Maria Doyle-Cuche recounted the beginnings of her career, when she hid her blindness: "I fought to win competitions and represent Ireland at Eurovision in 1985. In the 80s, I hid my handicap. I didn't want people to have mercy on me."
Maria Doyle-Cuche accused of taking advantage of her disability
The singer in her fifties said she was the target, even today, of hate messages: "Some people write to tell me that I take advantage of my disability to get there, instead of rejoicing for me… ". On March 6, 2020, during his victory at the Battles, certain internet users made dubious innuendos. "Amaury obviously had to stay in Maria's place. No one is fooled as to the reasons for the choice of Lara Fabian", can we read on Twitter.
Invited to the microphone of South Radio on January 20, 2020, Maria Doyle-Cuche spoke about her disability: "The disease came at 9 and a half years old, she explains, and I decided to fight this handicap: it is not me who will adapt to the handicap but the handicap which will adapt to me. I said I wanted to be Barbra Streisand! ". Maria knew how to overcome her handicap and make it a strength: "I said 'one day I will shine like one of those little stars!' It took me a long time but here I am! I was on the stage of The Voice, it was extraordinary, besides with my children! ".
