There was a certain anxiety in the air when Ronan Parke, then twelve, took the stage on Britain’s Got Talent. From the wings, his family watched anxiously. The audience and judges were prepared for a standard audition, either a straightforward ballad or a well-known pop tune.
And then he made his startling decision. The iconic Nina Simone song “Feeling Good,” which he will be performing, was revealed. Nobody believed he could carry off a song with that much heart and power. However, the audience went silent as soon as he opened his mouth. No one could have predicted how much stronger and larger his voice would be. It was breathtaking.
The judges were utterly stunned by the performance. They got up right away and gave a standing ovation, joining the thunderous crowd. The way he performed that challenging song was absolutely shocking, and his voice was a complete surprise. Because no one anticipated the performance, it became an instant viral phenomenon.
