This Elton John Cover Earned a 4-Chair Turn

This incredible Elton John cover earned a 4-chair turn on The Voice Australia blind auditions. The singer, Rennie Adams, knows his stuff, no question. Play the video to see if he impresses you, too!

Rennie’s performance is so raw and talented. You can see the judges’ reactions shift from intrigue to complete amazement in just seconds.  When he finally hit that high note, each of the judges’ chairs was spun. In fact, at the end of his performance, the judges were literally fighting over him to get him on their team. I have never seen any Voice judges act so competitively. 

“Above anything, you’ve got it, man,” said Judge Kelly Rowland. “You’ve got it. From the moment you opened your mouth, I believed you. I believed that you relived this whole story of Tiny Dancer.”

His “Tiny Dancer” Was Amazing 

“...You were really amazing,” she continued. “You’re truly a remarkable talent.”

The Voice four-chair turn performance is so lovely. Some of the lyrics to his cover of Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” are: 

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

It’s a very unique song written by Elton and Bernie Taupin in 1971. Rennie does just as good a job as Elton when he sings it. The Voice four-chair turn is a simply unforgettable performance. 

Rennie has such emotional depth to his singing. He draws you into his music with every lyric and guitar stroke. It’s easy to see why the judges set him apart. He’s a natural, and he has this unassuming charm to him. 

He has a unique sincerity that you don’t hear every day. It is almost like you can see through him when he sings. He does not hold anything back. It’s like he lives and breathes the lyrics. 

This is the making of a great musician.
