He Starts Out Shaking Like a Leaf, Sings ‘The Rose,’ Ends Up as One of Most Watched Ever

Singing is a talent that only a few people possess. And even if you’re one of the lucky ones who has it, you still might not be able to just go up on a stage and blow everyone’s mind. Seasoned performers get stage fright, so just think if you’ve never done anything like it before. Like this guy.

Christopher Maloney of Liverpool, England, is a very talented singer who went to audition for The X Factor UK. From the minute he mounts the stage, it’s clear that he’s very, very nervous. He is shaking so bad that the judges have to comfort him just to get him to continue.

“It’s took me five years just to build up the courage to apply for it,” he said. “I’ve downloaded the application, filled it out, put it in an envelope, then ripped it up. Every year.”

“In my head I just think, I’m not good enough, and that’s what’s stopped me from doing it,” Christopher said.But as soon as he opens his mouth, he blows away the minds of all the people including the judges and the audience. This man has the voice of the gods.

He sings “The Rose” by Bette Midler. All the judges stand up having been completely enthralled by his voice. He is such a talented singer. Watch the full video below and please leave us a Facebook comment to let us know what you thought!
