One young man turned in a powerful cover performance of “Hard Fought Hallelujah” on Star Search. It was a moving rendition of the hit song from Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll. Watch the short but captivating clip to see and listen to the emotional performance of “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”

American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice all remain popular despite being on television for quite some time. People continue to tune in to those programs regularly to see previously undiscovered talent and hear wondrous and moving covers of classics and all-time favorite tunes. People want to see who will change their entire lives with just one audition, one performance in front of the judges.

So, if those types of shows are popular and consistently pull in large audiences and respectable ratings regularly on other networks, why not try them elsewhere? That seems to have been the thinking of Netflix when they revived the old favorite Star Search, with Chrissy Teigen, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jelly Roll serving as the show’s judges.

The newly revived program is already producing show-stopping performances. In a clip posted on YouTube, one man, Bear Bailey, performed “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” It’s a fantastic performance of the song that is near and dear to the hearts of many. How could you not enjoy this song about enduring challenging times and having one’s faith tested, and his rendition of it?

Additionally, this performance is noteworthy for another specific reason. He took a big chance with that tune because he was singing in front of one of the song’s original singers: Jelly Roll.  The camera captured the popular musician and one of the show’s judges on his feet and singing along. It’s safe to say that the performance received his stamp of approval.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
