René Bishop, who was 71 at the time, tried out for The Voice Senior in 2018.
He sang “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers, which blew the judges away. In this great season, he got all of the judges to press the button and turn around in their chairs.
The Voice is a TV show that is known for finding and helping singers who haven’t been seen before.
If what they hear is good, the voice teachers will tap the “I want you” button. If more than one coach is interested, the performer will be matched up with the coach who asked them to. The best contestants on The Voice are Cassadee Pope, Danielle Bradbery, and Jordan Smith.
On the other hand, The Voice typically shows new artists. Because older people are often treated badly, young singers are often given more opportunities than older ones. The Voice Senior, a form of The Voice with older singers as contestants, was started to make up for this unfairness. A person must be at least 60 years old to compete on The Voice Senior.
René Bishop, who was 71, was one of these candidates. The Righteous Brothers’ song “Unchained Melody” was sung by the Bishop. Throughout the song, both the audience and the coaches were drawn in by how smooth and natural he was. When the camera moves to Bishop’s family, you can almost feel their joy. The coaches were all blown away by his performance, and as soon as he hit the song’s high note, they all pressed the “I want you” button.
His performance quickly went around the world. Over 17 million people have watched Bishop sing Unchained Melody on YouTube. All of the comments are full of praise for Bishop’s amazing music. “Respect,” one person said. Absolute luxury. The world does not only belong to young people.
Bishop has shown that you don’t have to be young to be well-known. You can always make your dreams come true. It doesn’t matter how old you are if you have skills. At any age, you can be great.
