68-Year-Old Turns All The Judges With 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' Audition

A talented 68-year-old turned all the judges with his incredible ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ audition!


The Voice has been on television for a long while, showcasing people’s singing talents. Ruud Hermans had entered the show with the song ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ to perform to the four judges and audience.

As soon as he sang the first word, three of the judges spun their chairs to face him as he was singing. The reason the judges are turned away from the competitor, is so the person that is performing is anonymous. This remains the case until they hit the button to turn their seat around, showing interest in possibly signing the competitor.

Ruud was 68 years old when he performed on The Voice, and his age did not stop him from wowing the judges. When three of the judges turned their seats around you could see the amazement on their faces.

As Ruud performed, the judges stared at him intensely and with smiles on their faces. Ruud’s family and friends cheered him on backstage and began to dance while Ruud blew the audience and judges away.

Towards the end of his performance, the judges all stood and began to clap their hands to the beat of the song. Ruud has without a doubt won the judges over with this classic country song.

With the finishing note of the song rang out, the crowd and judges gave Ruud a standing ovation for his outstanding performance. With his family and friends jumping up and down with joy, Ruud had made it through one of the toughest singing competitions on TV.

Ruud performed in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he did a fantastic job. I sure hope to see more of Ruud in the near future on competitive shows such as The Voice. It is up to Ruud to keep performing for America, and we sure hope he does just that.
