Yodeling Teen Turns Boy Band Song Into A Sensation On The X Factor

There are some unique talents out there in the world. In this video, a yodeling teen turns a boy band song into a sensation on the X Factor.


Barclay Beales is the only yodeler in the competition. The judges are thoroughly impressed with his first audition. Barclay tries to teach the host how to yodel. Barclay yodeles almost effortlessly after having taught himself by watching videos online.

Barclay shares in the video that yodeling on stage is a huge risk and he has never done it before in front of an audience. The guy sings and yodels to “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction. It is an interesting song mashup to say the least. The crowd really loves it. Each judge has a different opinion, but all agree that the yodeling is fantastic. Some encourage him to work on his normal singing voice more but commend his yodels. Barclay receives the feedback. Barclay ends up getting all four yeses in the end.

Just as this young man showed up in an unanticipated way with his unique talent, sometimes God shows up in unexpected ways. Maybe you made a new friend recently? Perhaps you picked up an unusual hobby? Maybe a stranger came and told you a word of encouragement? The Lord is working every day, all around us. It is important that we pay close attention to the various blessings that He is pouring out. A yodel was not what those judges expected on the X-Factor, but it was a gift to them. What is an unexpected blessing that the Lord has given to you today?

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.” Ephesians 1:3-4
