Sometimes, it takes a little while for the judges on “The Voice” and “The Voice Kids” to turn their chairs around. The judges typically need time to decide how they feel about a singer’s voice. They also want to spend some time listening to the nuances in the singer’s voice.
But sometimes, a singer is so good, the judges don’t need to spend any time deliberating. That’s just what happened with 14-year-old singer Jade De Rijcke.
In September 2018, Jade auditioned for “The Voice Kids” in her home country of Belgium. For her blind audition, she chose to sing “Homesick” by Dua Lipa.
From the first notes, it was clear Jade was a talented singer. And so, judge Sean Dhondt turned his chairs around just four seconds into the song!
The other judges quickly followed suit. The Belgian girl group K3, who were all judging together, turned their chair around seconds after Sean. Then, judge Gers Pardoel turned his chair around. The last judge, Laura Tesoro, turned her chair just seconds after him.
Jade’s family were shocked and excited when they saw that all the judges had turned their chairs around so quickly.
After Jade finished singing, it was time for her to pick her coach. In the end, she decided to join Team Gers.
Next, it was time for the battle round of the competition. Jade competed against two other girls, and she sang “Better Now” by Post Malone.
Jade won the battle round and moved onto the semi-finals. There, she sang “Sober” by Demi Lovato.
Jade made it to the final round of the competition, where she sang two songs: “F*ckin’ Perfect” by Pink and “Grand Piano” by Nicki Minaj.
In the end, Jade won “The Voice Kids!” Her prize was €10,000 and a recording contract for her first single.
Since winning “The Voice Kids,” Jade has been keeping busy.
She recorded and released her first single, “Straw House.” She talked about the inspiration of the song with It’s On Mag:
“It is a quiet song in which I completely agree,” says Jade, “but for the sake of clarity, the text about a difficult relationship is not about me!”
Jade also regularly posts photos and videos on her Instagram page, including photos of her recording her new songs. Jade also announced that she signed a recording contract with Universal!
Jade is a great young singer who has a long career ahead of her. You can see all of Jade’s incredible performances on “The Voice Kids” in the video below!
