oh i didn't expected that voice, gadamn

[myrnflaw]

Im not exaggerating but i think he has one of the most sentimental and smooth voices ive ever heard...

[rocketmoonshine]

I love the tone of his voice. So, creamy and chocolaty, good for my bitter heart.

Rough translation
0:10 Mom: "Nervous, yeah he's nervous"
0:24 Woman: "Look, that's your son"
1:50 Woman: "He's going to melt some girls' hearts"
Boy: "I think so too"
2:36 Koen (Judge): "How great isn't this? To get an applause like this?"
"Can you tell us your name?"
Ibe: "Ibe"
Bart (Judge): "I have to be honest with you. I found it fantastic. I found it very good. I think what you did with that song from Ed Sheeran, pulling it towards the piano... Your voice is amazing, your (piano) playing is amazing. I am going to steal you." (meaning if Ibe loses a battle in the future, one judge can steal a contestant from another judge in that round and so Bart would steal him and so keeping him in the competition, even though he would technically have lost. But Bart can only steal him if he loses in that round otherwise it's not possible or something like that)
3:05 Koen: "I have to be honest too Ibe. I found you fantastic (as well) and I hope you choose for me (=my team). Just like Bart said, what you did with that song, the voice, the way you gave that song a place, the final touches... everything was really great. I will recommend to work a bit on when you go for the high notes when you're singing, but I can imagine here in these circumstances... You did it very well. I do sometimes have the feeling thinking there's an amazing band or 'de Nant' is an amazing piano player, let them do the playing, but with you I didn't have that feeling. Because I found that the combination worked perfectly and that's often a little doubt from me but with you totally not. So yeah ehm I'm very impressed of what you did. Congratulations"
4:03 Ibe: Thank you
4:11 Nathalia (Judge): "Hello Ibe"
Ibe: "Hello"
Nathalia: "How old are you?"
Ibe: "16"
Nathalia: "16?"
Ibe: "Yeah"
Nathalia: "Do you already have a lot of musical experience then?"
Ibe: "Yeah I do perform often"
Ibe: "And I won the 'Ed Sheeran' competition last year on Studio Brussels (radiostation). And I sang this song there as well."
Nathalia: "Alright, good"
Nathalia: "Ibe, I'm going to be honest as well. I've become really strict/picky because my team is almost full. And ehm yeah I'm happy that someone like you passes by cause we dont have a lot of people like you. It's really nice to back yourself up on the piano, but the way you did it, on your age, it's really impressive. And I hope you choose for me."
Ibe: "Thank you"
5:14 Alex (Judge): "Ibe I'm going to be honest too (tbh these judges should be a bit more original with their use of words, like I didn't notice they always start this before I started to translate this.) I'm going to be honest my team is full. I don't like that, I really don't. But it is that way."
Ibe: "No problem"
Bart: "Ibe, can I be even more honest? My team is also full. And there's this amazing thing passing by"
5:41 Koen: "Can I be honest another time? You won that StuBru (Studio Brussels) competition, I can't promise you that you will win the voice. But I can promise you you will get far if you choose for me."
Nathalia: "How can you promise that?"
Koen: "Look at the talent from that dude, it can't be different than getting far in the voice. I can't be different."
Nathalia: "I'm going to be very honest too. Listen well, Ibe, it's up to you now."
Ibe: "I think I'm going for Koen"
Koen: "Yeah I think so too."




The language by the way is Flemish, only spoken by around 6 million people in the Flanders (=Vlaanderen), which is the North side of Belgium. (The south side(5 million people) speak French) Flemish is the belgian version of Dutch. The differences between Flemish and Dutch are about as big as the differences between American English and British English. So on paper it's pretty much the same language, just a couple of words are different and of course the accent sounds A LOT different.

I wish I never heard this cover because now I cannot listen to the original without wanting to hear this version. I absolutely love his voice.

[wHeavyC]

Didn’t see that coming out of him at all lol... such a powerful voice

[jkerllyaraujo]

His a voice is a mix of Ed Sheeran plus James Arthur 👏🏾👏🏾❤️ amazing

[t.rayhenry]

All four judges said to themselves, “This kid is going to win the whole thing”, and there was nothing else they could do. This kid has talent.

[DeGuzJosh]

I keep coming back to this! I wish this was on Spotify bc I honestly believe this is better than the original.

[darlenepaul]

I like his clean sound.Too many singers nowadays are copying each other.They all sound alike.Fre have this clear pure sound!

[wyzee]

One of my most favorite songs of Ed Sheeran

[lydialeruth]

Omg this is just pure beauty, amazing
Is there any way I can marry his voice and his piano's skills?

[aesthetically_pleasing]

For those who are wondering why the other 2 judges didn't turn around its because their team is full.

[suedaglue]

I've probably watched this about 50 times over the past few JUST SO GOOD

[dallask]

THIS BOI DOES NOT NEED NO AUDITION!!!!
Just let him win already

[parazy]

His voice reminds me a little bit of James Arthur.

[skytime]

I absolutely love the way he covered this song. He slowed it down just a tad and made it so simple and emotional with his elegant piano skills. I also completely adore his melty voice tone, it’s so slow and smooth and deep and rich. After this, I found and listened to his full cover but I think I enjoy this version a little more because you can hear how much he's developed from when he recorded the full cover, and it’s insane. I really hope he wins because I haven’t heard a voice I loved so much in a long time.

[tubeyou]

I'm here from the finale. He won! Much deserved

[truthisreal.]

I love the look on his brothers face when he’s playing the piano before he starts singing. He just looks so proud and he has no doubts his brother is going to be a star and wow everyone. All those years of listening to him, you just see the look in his eyes like “go get it bro”

[anthonydoyle]

Way beyond his years it's been a long time since I've seen someone this good.
The New Van Morrison.
