One young man with a prominent speech impediment wowed the studio audience and the judges during his remarkable audition on The Voice.
No one is perfect. Everyone has faults, issues and problems that they must face and either overcome or let defeat them. Some of those difficulties are more prominent than others. They can be physical, emotional, spiritual or financial.
Harrison Craig, 18, wants to be a singer. He hopes to become an international recording artist, wowing people all over the world with his voice. But, as Harrison mentions in the clip posted on YouTube, he has a pronounced stutter. This has not held him back from pursuing his dream of becoming a singer.
However, right before he steps out on the stage for his blind audition on The Voice Australia, Harrison voices a large worry of his.
“I’m really hoping that my voice doesn’t fail me tonight,” Harrison said.
Harrison’s voice does not fail him at all!
Seconds after the 18-year-old singer opens his mouth and begins vocalizing the lyrics of Josh Groban’s song “Broken Vow,” he wins over the studio audience and the judges.
Seal almost immediately hits his button. He is completely blown away by Harrison’s outstanding voice.
“Wow! Wow!” the “Kiss from a Rose” singer says.
Eventually, Seal slams his button, turning around to watch the young man. The remaining three judges soon follow suit and turn their chairs for Harrison.
Harrison’s audition was astounding, with the judges and the studio audience giving him a standing ovation.
All four judges appeal to Harrison, imploring him to choose them as his coach. But it’s Seal, who turned around first, who gives the most impassioned and touching plea.
Seal claims that it’s because of voices like Harrison’s that he chooses to coach. Harrison has greatness in him, Seal states.
In the end, Harrison selects Seal to be his mentor and coach.
