With her adorable rendition of John Denver’s song, “The Voice Kids” in the UK, Shaney-Lee steals hearts.
With his endearing audition on “The Voice Kids” UK, seven-year-old Shaney-Lee won over everyone. It was arguably the most heartwarming thing that has ever happened.
Shaney-Lee was raised on a farm in southwest England with horses, goats, and hens, so he was naturally drawn to western and country music. For his blind audition, John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” was the perfect choice.
As soon as he took the stage, the judges and audience were taken over by his endearing charisma. Shaney-Lee’s humble nature was evident from the moment he hit the stage, and it only got stronger every time he made an appearance on television.
When adjudicator Will.i.am asked Shaney-Lee if he had ever ridden a horse, he replied with pride, “I rode here today,” adding even more charm to his already adorable performance.
This simple yet endearing exchange revealed Shaney-Lee’s love of the countryside and his country roots, and he became an immediate fan.
Judge Danny Jones appreciated Shaney-Lee’s performance right away, stating, “That is the cutest voice I’ve ever heard!” “There, life is more ancient than trees and more youthful than mountains.
“Take me home, country roads, blowing like a breeze,” Shaney-Lee began singing in the opening notes. The audience was spellbound. His kind and sincere voice perfectly captured the essence of the song, evoking strong feelings in everyone present.
The audience applauded and stood up in the first twenty seconds, with some even erasing their feelings. Shaney-Lee’s innocence and purity of voice moved everyone, resulting in a performance that will live in memory for a very long time.
Shaney-Lee’s charming performance and charming manner make him stand out among the 7–14 year olds on the show. His mother’s assessment of him, that he is “definitely an older person in a little man’s body,” adds to his beauty.
His youthful innocence combined with insight made for an amazing performance that delighted the judges and the audience.
Judge Pixie Lott was impressed by Shaney-Lee’s audition and was taken aback by her infectious personality. She smiled.
