It’s the best when you exceed expectations. I’m not talking about being a perfectionist or doing something amazing every time with flying colors. Sure that’s great, but I’m not perfect, and neither is anyone else. Rather, what I mean is to defy expectations. Having a little something up your sleeve that shows you are more than what meets the eye. Not being restricted to a label based on your age or what you look like. It’s all about having that “Je ne sais quois.”
This tween is a great example of that. The judges heard the deep voice of an old soul with a few characteristic cracks, but turned around to find a young, fresh looking boy!
Iggi Kelly is in the blind audition stage for “The Voice Kids Germany.” He wastes no time impressing the judges from the first few plucks of the guitar strings. He’s about to sing Simon and Garfunkle’s “Sound of Silence.” already a mature-sounding song not typically chosen by a young boy. But wow, does he ever sing it well and with emotion!
The judges are instant fans. His mom is seen backstage jumping up and down, screaming as the first judge slams down on the buzzer. The pair of judges follows suit as they slam down and turn around to face Iggi. His performance started with a low voice as he worked his way up to a higher key, showcasing the range of his vocals. One judge appeared so moved by his performance, her eyes were shut the entire time. It looked like she was on a whole other level completely!
Click to watch this stirring blind audition. Iggi is exceptional and gave the chills to everyone listening!
