19-year-old Christian Burrows brings judges to tears with song about late brother

Talent shows are full of surprises and that is one of the reasons we get so addicted to them. We never know if that shy girl who’s trembling on the stage would be the next star, or if the boy who can’t wait to let his voice loose would get a pass for the next round. What we do know, however, is that some of the performances are so powerful they stay with us long after we see them.

When Christian Burrows took the stage of one of the most popular music talent shows, The X Factor, not many believed he would make many cry.

When Simon asked him what he prepared for them, Christian said he’d penned a song about the loss of his baby brother Nathan who passed away at just three months old.

“I’ve got a song that I wrote for my brother who passed away when I was only young,” he told Simon, who asked him if he was certain he wanted to perform such a personal and emotional song. Christian said he believed he was ready, but no one was prepared for what followed.

The lyrics of Thunder Buddy, which Christian performed in front of the entire nation, touched everyone’s heart.

Before his son saw the light of the day, Christian only performed it twice in his life; once for his mom and once for his dad.

He left the stage with four yeses and proud of his performance that left some of the judges in tears.

Following his appearance on the show, Christian spoke to Metro Online and shared the heartbreak his family suffered when his brother passed away. At the time, Christian was 2 and a half years old and although he doesn’t remember anything specifically, he said he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of relationship he and his late brother would have now.
