With Christmas right around the corner, people are diving headfirst into the holiday spirit. Along with the tree, decorations, baked goodies, and wreaths, music is often heard wafting in the background of homes. Of course, everyone has their favorite Christmas song.
“Oh, Holy Night”
Among the most iconic Christmas songs is “Oh, Holy Night.” Composed by Adolphe Adam back in 1847, this particular carol is based on the French poem entitled “Minuit, chrétiens,” which translates to Midnight, Christians. It’s the story about the night baby Jesus was born.
Mature music
When it comes to Christmas music, songs are either written for adults or kids. Unlike Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty, Oh, Holy Night is typically something performed by grownups. But one seven-year-old girl proved this isn’t a song that only big people can sing when she did a beautiful rendition.
Viral video
A video of Rhema Marvanne was uploaded to social media. In no time, it went viral. So far, it’s been viewed more than 22 million times. Can you imagine? This is for a seven-year-old singing one of the most cherished Christmas songs of all time.
Poised and ready to perform
Recorded in a music studio, Rhema stands confident before the microphone as the music begins to play. She’s as cute as a bug. And while a lot of adults might feel intimated, it was clear that this girl knew what she was doing.
Magic in her voice
From the moment that Rhema starts to sing, she takes your breath away. Not only does her voice have a beautiful tone to it but she nails every note. This little girl even has a vibrato, which often takes adults time to perfect.
Extremely focused
As she continues to sing the first verse, she remains focused. At several times, she closes her eyes. To her, she’s not just belting out words but actually feeling what she sings. Watching her gives you goosebumps.
Taking it up a notch
The verse was simply wonderful. But then as she moves into the chorus, her talent becomes even more evident. Initially, she stayed at a lower octave. Now going into a higher range, you can hear even more just how good she is. Remember, she’s only seven.
Amazing accompaniment
The orchestra music that Rhema sings to is stunning. It’s a perfect match for her voice. You just keep thinking if she’s this good in a recording studio, imagine what she could do before a live audience. And hearing her sing at such a young age, everyone knew she was headed for greatness.
Who is Rhema Marvanne
Well, come to find out, she did achieve greatness. Born in Carrollton, Texas on September 15, 2002, now 18-year-old Rhema moved on with a singing career. For quite a while, she was a gospel singer. Although she’s branched out to some degree, her magical voice has only become better.
Quite the journey
Rhema began as a small child with a love of music. Over the years, she’s gone through more vocal training. That, combined with her natural talent, has taken her on an incredible ride. Looking back on her video of “Oh, Holy Night,” you knew she was meant for stardom.
