Kids seem to be able to do a lot of things that impress us because we know we can’t compete with them.
Nathan Bautista, an eight-year-old boy, demonstrated to the entire Philippines how small but talented he is.
“The Voice Kids Philippines” is a famous talent show for kids in the Philippines where when a contestant has made it to the blind auditions, they will perform while the judges are seated with their backs to the stage.
Only if the judges want to personally mentor the contestant through the subsequent rounds will they press the button that turns their seats so they can finally see the singer, which Nathan did after only 3 seconds of his performance.
Nathan chose the song “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey for his performance in his blind audition, and after singing just the first few notes of the song, the judges turned their seats for him.
Judges Lea Salonga and Bamboo Mañalac couldn’t help but stand and sing along to Nathan’s performance. They must have been really impressed with the little kid’s talent.
Nathan was the Grand Singing Champion of the 2013 Promil i-Shine Talent Camp before joining The Voice Kinds. This demonstrates the boy’s eagerness to perform in front of an audience.
According to Nathan’s YouTube page, he started humming along to music before he was a year old. It was said that his “vocabulary was already rich with words from the gospel, picked up from the first songs he heard in church.”
