It stunned the judges and audience when three kids from The Voice Kids entered the stage to sing an epic song by vocal legends Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. It is one thing to admire people such as Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, but children perform here, and their brilliance is evident. It initially seems as though Matteo Marcus, Claudia, and Matteo are hesitant when they perform the song “The Prayer” during the Voice Kids fight. As each young vocalist gets ready to perform, the camera moves across them as the introductory music starts.
The judges are immediately thrilled when Claudia starts the song, and the audience cheers when she hits the opening note flawlessly. Their parents sob backstage as the judges appear overtaken with emotion, and the audience sits on the edge of their seats as the boys take turns and are equally amazing until each vocalist takes over with his portion. She gets to her feet as all three voices blend together, obviously moved by this powerful performance.
The kids give a little encore, and the audience erupts when they hit the last note!
It’s interesting to note that Dion and Bocelli initially recorded the song as two distinct tracks, one in English and one in Italian. A Golden Globe winner for Best Original Song in 1999, “The Prayer” was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
He also won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration in 2000, which was well-earned. The speech’s YouTube video received a lot of comments, one of which asked, “How could you choose between those three?” while others questioned how anybody could decide who would move on to the next round. It was exquisitely lovely. “I shed tears.”
