Nobody expects a 16-year-old to sound exactly like Elvis Presley, but that’s exactly what Benedikt Köstler did when he stepped onto the stage with a fresh hairstyle and stylish outfit, like any typical teenager. Everyone anticipated him to sing a modern pop song by Bruno Mars or Justin Bieber, but they were surprised when he started to sing!
If you’re a fan of Elvis Presley (or good music in general), you’ll probably enjoy listening to different versions of Rock and Roll classics. Even better if the versions are surprisingly good. Talent shows, like the one you’re about to see, are the best place to discover new fresh voices performing the classics we all love.
You might think a talent competition is an innovative way to discover new talent, but it’s not. Even Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Christina Aguilera, and Beyoncé appeared on the 90s television show “Stars Search,” where they started their successful careers. Moreover, a multitude of music stars come from different singing competitions. The X Factor U.K. made famous Leona Lewis, One Direction, Little Mix, and James Arthur.
Fifth Harmony was formed on The X Factor in the United States, while Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert started their careers on American Idol, and so on.
