The 71-year-old René Bishop, shown performing in this 2018 video, sang a version of The Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody during an audition for The Voice Senior. The judges were blown away by his performance. He was able to persuade every judge to press the button and turn in their seats throughout this incredible performance.
A well-known reality competition show, The Voice is renowned for presenting up-and-coming vocalists and offering them guidance. After hearing a singer’s song, the voice coaches will press a button that says “I want you” if they want to sign the artist for the show. If more than one coach expresses interest in working with the performer, the performer will then select their own coach, or they will be paired with the coach who initially expressed interest in them.
On the other hand, most of the musicians on The Voice are rather young. Younger vocal artists typically receive more support than their more experienced peers since, regrettably, older folks are frequently the targets of discrimination. The makers of “The Voice” created “The Voice Senior,” a unique edition of the competition that features senior vocalists, in response to this form of discrimination. For the purpose of competing on “The Voice Senior,” contestants must be at least 60 years old.
One of the individuals that tried out was 71-year-old René Bishop. Bishop performed a rendition of “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. The coaches and audience were captivated by his powerful and fluid performance the entire time. You can see Bishop’s family’s pride when the camera pans to them. Each coach tapped the “I want you” button to express desire once he hit the high note of the song. His performance appears to have impressed the judges.
His performance gained widespread recognition. Bishop’s Unchained Melody performance has received over 17 million views on YouTube. Everyone in the comments expresses amazement at Bishop’s remarkable vocal prowess. “Respect,” said one commenter. Pure class. The world isn’t only for kids.
Bishop has demonstrated that being young is not a prerequisite for success in the entertainment sector. Pursuing your passions is something you can do at any time. When compared to your level of competence, your age is meaningless. You are capable of great things at any time in your life.
