Aretha Franklin’s song “Chain Of Fools” is an absolute classic in the world of blues.

When you think of someone attempting to cover it, you’d probably imagine a seasoned artist, someone with a voice that’s seen years, maybe even decades, of experience.

But what if I told you a 12-year-old took the stage to perform this iconic piece?

Meet Gezel Bardossi, a young talent who left everyone in disbelief.

As Gezel began her performance, the judges exchanged looks of sheer amazement.

It was as if they were silently asking each other, “Is this really happening?”
