As if he were an ordinary teen, Benedikt Köstler onto the stage with a crisp attire and a new hairstyle. Everyone was shocked when he started singing because they were all anticipating him to perform a contemporary pop song by Justin Bieber or Bruno Mars.
Hearing various renditions of famous Rock n’ Roll songs is definitely enjoyable if you’re a fan of Elvis Presley or fantastic music in general. Even better if the book’s covers are pleasantly surprising. The finest place to hear new, fresh voices singing the timeless classics we all adore is at talent contests like the one you’re about to watch.
You would think that watching a talent show is a fresh approach to find new talent, but this is untrue. Even Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears made appearances on “Stars Search,” a 1990s television program where they launched their stellar careers.
Furthermore, a slew of music stars descended from various singing competitions. The X Factor U.K. made Leona Lewis, One Direction, Little Mix, and James Arthur famous. Fifth Harmony was formed on The X Factor in the United States, while Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert began their careers on American Idol, and so on.
Although the most well-known stars so far have come from the United Kingdom and the United States, other countries have incredible talent as well. Benedikt Köstler, who was 16 at the time of his audition for The Voice, is one of those contestants. With his impressive performance, he drew the judges’ and audience’s attention.
Benedikt took the stage with a neat outfit and a freshly done hairstyle, as if he were a typical adolescent. Everyone was expecting him to sing a modern pop song by Bruno Mars or Justin Bieber, but when he started singing, everyone was taken aback! Indeed, first impressions can be deceiving. Benedikt’s voice was deeper than anyone had expected, and he sang “Always on My Mind,” a song by Elvis Presley.
The second judge presses “I want you,” which causes her chair to turn toward Benedikt, and she can’t help but be surprised when she sees how he looks, which doesn’t match his voice! Benedikt’s face and movements now reflect his confidence and happiness, and he begins playing with high notes that impress the other judges as well, and he receives the maximum four votes!
Benedikt was a true find, according to everyone in the comments. Despite the fact that the show is in German, there are many English comments, demonstrating that good talent is valued worldwide.
“He had a deep, kind of raspy country voice that I wouldn’t have expected from someone as young as him,” one viewer said, expressing his admiration for Benedikt’s performance. Benedikt, you’ve done a fantastic job. Because I am such a fan, I believe I will prepare myself to watch this several times.”
“I can’t stop listening to this audition,” says another. “It’s fantastic!”
They didn’t exaggerate, to be sure. He WAS ACTUALLY AWESOME. We’ve included his entire performance, as well as FOUR more follow-up videos and an incredible duet of ‘Hallelujah.’ Begin watching, but be warned: you won’t be able to put it down. Enjoy!
