Reality singing competition shows are often filled with surprising moments. This young contestant, who auditioned for The Voice Kids in the Netherlands with Christina Perri’s 2011 ballad “Jar of Hearts,” was certainly one of them.
The contestant showcased an effortlessness when hitting the notes, making coach Marco Borsato turn his chair around in only a few seconds. To his surprise (and ours), however, the contestant wasn’t standing on stage as expected.
Shortly after, Angela Groothuizen and judging duo Nick & Simon pressed their red buttons and also turned to an empty stage.
Why was this contestant hidden? It all comes together at the 2:30 mark, a moment I really wasn’t expecting.
At that point, the young contestant comes forward and the coaches can’t believe their eyes. The audience members also wildly applauded this budding star.
