To be a rock star, you’ve got to act like one. Fake it til you make it, right? While star power is something you’re born with, just like a skill, it takes practice and lots of work to keep it up. Plus, it’s an attitude. You’ve got to think and act and look and sound and believe in yourself, as though you already are a star! It’s a matter of believing, and doing whatever it takes to get you there.
If there’s someone who lives by these words, then it has to be the man in the video we’re sharing below. He’s probably done it all — wear snakeskin pants, sing Def Leppard in the shower, listen to metal in the car, put up Guns ‘N Roses posters in the office! Angelo, who graced “The Voice France” blind auditions, emits total rockstar energy. He appeared on stage and shook up the judges!
Originally sung by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964, many have redone “Sound Of Silence.” The song is heavy in emotion and ripe with dark beauty and deep lyrics. It was when rock band Disturbed did their own version of the song in 2015, that the classic came back to life, and earned some serious rock star credit. I’m sure you’ve heard and know what I mean.
Angelo steps on stage, dressed in black, eyes closed and head tilted, ready to give it all he’s got. The music starts and he utters his first note. It is so deep and rich that the first judge’s expression is that of surprise and shock. No one expected such a low, bass voice. Angelo carries on injecting new life into the song. He’s breathy, and soulful, picking up power as he dives headfirst into the familiar classic, and knocks the performance out of the water.
Each judge continues to be wowed by Angelo’s raw, low voice that shakes the house with all the power he musters to deliver a truly heartfelt act. You can’t sing this song without feeling it and feel it he does. Right at the apex of the song, Angelo lets it rip, his vocals echoing through the room, and his heart pouring out onto the stage. Just as he finishes, one judge turns around, thrilled to see him standing there. What a force this man is! He’s got rock star potential written all over him.
