While carrying his acoustic guitar, Littleton grabbed the mic stand and positioned it to the front.

Despite feeling nervous being in front of a large crowd seated on bleachers, he is eager and prepared to showcase his act and even encouraged everyone to sing along with him-if they were familiar with what he was about to sing.

The crowd was silenced as he started strumming his guitar and began singing the first few lines of Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect.”

His classmates and schoolmates were stunned by his act. It sounded so romantic that everybody was so focused on his performance, and they couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

The song was perfect for his voice…

…and his casual and unassuming look somewhat resembled Ed Sheeran.

“Perfect” is a favorite by so many people because this romantic ballad is very relatable.

It readily became a massive hit and is now a much-requested song played at weddings and engagements. A lot would surely agree that it is a timeless love song.

It successfully hit number one in the UK Singles Chart and even in the Billboard Top 100. Ed Sheeran also had duets with famous singers like Beyonce and Andrea Bocelli.

No wonder the students of Central Davidson High School were able to sing in chorus with Littleton.

After belting out the last few lines of the song,

“Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don’t deserve this

You look perfect tonight.”

The crowd loudly cheered for him, and some even gave a standing ovation. Just how happy he must have felt for overcoming shyness and for delivering the act quite nicely.

At the time of writing, his performance has more than 6 million views and 113,000 likes on YouTube.
