Many aspiring singers find the stage of the talent shows to be the only place where they can shine through their talent. And they are totally right. It is these shows that helped a lot of singers find their place under the stars and in the music industry. Beyonce, who is considered one of the world’s biggest superstars, found her way to fame through the talent show Star Search back in 1993. And she’s not the only one. In fact, a lot of famous names became celebrities thanks to shows such as The Voice, Britain’s Got Talent, The X Factor and Pop Stars.
Back in 2017, the judges of The X Factor were totally blown away by the incredible vocal of then 17-year-old Willie Jones. When they realized he would be performing Josh Turner’s Your Man, they probably thought it was a pretentious choice, but the moment Willie let his voice loose, he proved everyone wrong.
Simon Cowell is listening with his mouth open, and that speaks enough of just how incredibly talented this teenager is. What is interesting about Willie’s voice is that it sounds way too mature than it is. It’s deep and seasoned, and everyone agrees that he sounds phenomenal, if not perfect.
The video of Willie’s performance which has been seen over 10 million times is definitely a must watch. Check it out below.
