This Contestant’s Toe-Tapping Rendition of a 70s Hit Steals the Show on The Voice

This contestant’s toe-tapping rendition of a '70s hit steals the show on The Voice. It is completely surprising and wholesomely entertaining. Play the video to see the fun performance.

Halfway into Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music,” Dillon Rhodes had all 4 of The Voice Judges’ chairs turned. They absolutely loved it, and 2 or 3 of them sang along with him as he jammed to the beat. It’s not just his voice that’s entertaining; Dillon amusingly jumps around the stage while he stretches his vocals. 

He’s even got an outfit to look the part. His hair is wild, and he’s got bell-bottom pants and a halfway unbuttoned shirt with a big necklace—perfect for a 70s hit. 

It’s an incredible audition, and it’s easy to see why the judges were so quickly impressed. Dillon’s voice takes you right back to the 70s, and his joyful performance puts a smile on your face. He shows he’s a singer and a showman to the core. Some of the lyrics from the fun songs are:

And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
"Play that funky music, white boy”

It’s a performance that’ll have you jiving to the beat. And at just two minutes long, it’s over too soon. You just want to keep playing it again and again and feeling those good feelings. 

It is clear that Dillon threw all his energy into his performance. He performs confidently, as if he’s at his own booked-out show and not an audition stage. It’s 100% pure stage charisma. 

It also shows how The Voice is diverse. You never know what kind of music you’re going to hear on the show, but you’re sure to be entertained. In Dillon’s case, he doesn’t just sing; he invites you into the fun.
