A young girl sang an 80-year-old song: when the audience heard the girl, they went crazy
The anticipation was palpable as the young girl took the stage, her future uncertain.
Many describe this blind casting on “The Voice Kids” as one of the most spectacular ever. The judges barely had time to react before they spun their chairs around in record time.
Anna’s take on the 80-year-old classic is nothing short of flawless. Her voice has a purity and depth that suggests a rising star. Close your eyes and it feels like an angel is singing directly to your soul.
Written in 1939, “Over the Rainbow” is a song that almost everyone knows, but few can do its lyrics justice. Few singers since Judy Garland have managed to captivate the world with such a performance.
Bravely, young Anna decided to perform this iconic song on The Voice Kids, hoping to impress the judges with her own rendition. And she impressed them – every single one turned their chair around for her!
Anna puts her heart and soul into her performance and exudes a star quality that far exceeds her years. Such brilliance in someone so young is a rarity and a miracle to witness. Bravo, Anna!
