When 9-year-old little Gian Ale was told to stand in front of a crowd of hundreds of onlookers, three intimidating judges, and TV cameras which were broadcasting him to millions of people all around the world, he was understandably a bit nervous.
Overcoming his fears, he picked up his trusty little guitar, walked to the center of the Voice Kids stage, waited for his eyes to adjust to the blinding lights, and then he simply stood there.
"Go Gian! Go!" yelled his father as he clapped his hands in support of his tiny son. Gian took a quick breath and started to pick at the strings of his instrument. It was a normal sounding song until he sang the first few notes of Ed Sheeran's beautiful love story, "Thinking Out Loud."
The Voice judges' faces say it all: just wait until the :15 second mark of this inspiring video and you'll see how impressed they are. All of the judges are absolutely blown away, and when you listen to Gian's beautiful, warbling voice, you'll easily agree that this kid has got some serious talent and is definitely going places.
With the undying support of his father, and with thousands of diehard fans, this shy little 9-year-old boy is going to go on to have a pretty interesting life. We're lucky to have gotten to see the very beginnings of it!
