Blind auditions on The Voice create a mysterious atmosphere that always captivates the judges. The disparity between a contestant’s voice and appearance often surprises the judges. During his audition for The Voice: UK, fourteen-year-old Jacob Norton from Colchester, Essex, astounded all of the judges.
Despite his massive girth, Jacob’s singing voice has everyone in amazement. During his audition, Jacob decided to sing “Puttin’ On the Ritz,” Fred Astaire’s timeless hit. Because of Jacob’s deep voice, which made him sound much older than he actually was, the decades-old song was the perfect choice.
The coaches, Danny Jones, Will.i.am, and Pixie Lott, were taken aback by the abrupt, powerful voice that echoed behind them. They believed they were the target of a practical prank. Out of sheer curiosity, the three judges swiveled their chairs in anticipation of seeing the individual with this extraordinary voice. The crowd erupted in wild cheers as Jacob’s captivating performance got underway, and many got up from their seats to join in.
