Blind Singer Brings One Judge To Tears With 'Climb Every Mountain' Audition - Staff Picks

Blind singer, Victoria Oruwari, brings one judge to tears with her audition of ‘Climb Every Mountain’ on All Together Now. This BBC show features a panel of 100 judges from the United Kingdom who all have a musical background. The panel includes performers, producers, and other experts in the music industry. Once an artist starts performing, the 100 can turn their light on which signifies their approval. The contestant with the highest amount of lights from that round will move on in the competition. Today, Victoria is taking on the 100 with her powerful rendition of ‘Climb Every Mountain’ from The Sound Of Music. This London music teacher lost her sight at an early age but that hasn’t stopped her from following her dreams. “I feel like losing my sight made me more aware of the beauty in music.” Just listen as she belts out the lyrics to this classic musical song. “Climb ev'ry mountain Ford ev'ry stream Follow ev'ry rainbow 'Till you find your dream” Her performance earned her an almost-perfect score of 95. Judge Geri Horner was so moved by the entire number that she had to wipe away tears. She raved about the blind singer saying, “Victoria, you just touched our hearts. And then I’m looking at you like a goddess, like an angel in here singing from your heart. It was so inspirational.” After this song, Victoria moved into the top spot and earned her way into the next phase of the competition. What an inspiration full talent and poise.
