The ultimate goal of The Voice is to make coaches slam their buttons and swivel their chairs. But when you can turn the entire room into a dance party? Kid, you got it going on!
A girl named Stella made this fantasy a reality auditioning on the youth version of the show – bringing down the house with a popular movie track. If your dancing shoes aren’t tied on already, just be prepared to want to move your feet.
There are some pretty talented kids around the globe, so it’s important to stand out from the rest.
Nowadays, you can’t turn on the TV without running into talent competition shows, featuring people from all walks of life. In fact, the concept is so popular right now that programs like The Voice even offer junior versions of their show, in countries all around the world.
But getting that first audition isn’t so easy. As for The Voice Kids in Holland, they say:
“Before the talents make it to the Blind audition stage, they have to prove themselves at the preselections. Only a small amount of talented kids get the chance to perform in front of the coaches: Marco Borsato, Ilse DeLange, Douwe Bob and Ali B.”
Stella was one of the lucky ones who earned herself a blind audition. It was time to see if the celebrity coaches thought she was gifted enough to become a star.
In the beginning, all of the big red chairs were faced away from Stella, so she could be judged on her voice, and not her looks.
As for her song, she chose to perform a rendition of “Faith.” No, not the ’80s classic by George Michael – but Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande’s fun duet! You probably remember it from the animated film, Sing.
Only moments after Stella began singing she had the judges dancing in their seats.
The coaches on The Voice Kids are musically talented themselves, so they know when there’s someone with potential standing behind their backs. That’s why all four of them perked up listening to Stella perform.
Only a short time in, two of the judges slammed down on their buttons while rocking out in their chairs. It meant that Stella was guaranteed to move on to the next round, no matter what.
But there was more to come…
The other two coaches also couldn’t resist dancing along to Stella’s cover of “Faith.” And just like a scene from a movie, they too hit their buttons in a synchronized fashion.
Stella had managed to make all the chairs flip in under 30 seconds, which frankly, isn’t an easy feat!
Get ready to bust a move.
“Faith” is a song with a vibrant beat that’s impossible to resist at least tapping along to. Well, these Dutch judges weren’t just going to sit back and let a good dancing opportunity float right by.
All of them left their chairs and went to the middle of the stage so they could really cut a rug. There was some twisting, some jiving, and of course – a little bit of “the swim.”
We don’t know what was going on in Stella’s head during her performance. However, it’s probably safe to say it was a moment she’ll never forget.
There are many auditions that steal our hearts and lift our souls, but this is one that stands out from the rest. You can enjoy it for yourself in the video below!
