Felix was only thirteen years old when he sang Elvis Presleyโs Canโt Help Falling In Love with you on in an audition on the stage of The Voice Kids. It was a performance that would stun the judges and audience into silence.
The young skaterโs feet didnโt even reach the floor as he sat on a stool and strummed the acoustic guitar, but his voice was big enough to fill the room, and it did.
A star is born
The adorable singer was a hit with the crowd on the show as well as on the internet. He quickly became a favorite among many.
The comments on YouTube have all been positive:
โMy heart canโt take this. This is too cute your voice is beautiful โคโ

The video has been seen more than 700,000 times on YouTube and countless more times on television and on other platforms. This little teenage heartthrob really knows how to bring Elvisโ words to life for an audience of millions.
Weโre glad the show gave him the opportunity to audition.
A performance worth watching
You could see the stunned and overwhelmed reactions by the judges as Felix sang. They do this job every day, and even they were floored to hear such emotion from such a young singer.
His voice was crystal clear as he sung the words, accompanied only by the sound of the guitar in his hands:
โLike a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I canโt help falling in love with you.โ
The lyrics just flowed out of him and into the hearts of everyone who listened. Itโs no wonder that his video has been liked, shared, and watched so many times. Itโs a performance worth seeing more than once.
When he was done singing, the applause lasted for ages. The judges all shared their enthusiasm for the performance and the little singer was on his way to greatness.
An opportunity for greatness
The Voice Kids gives young artists a platform on which they can be seen and showcase their talents. For some, it will be a one-time thing, but for young talented performing artists such as Felix, it can be the opportunity they need to open doors to a lifetime of musical greatness.
We hope to see more from this young artist as he grows. Maybe someday heโll be tall enough that his feet will even reach the floor as he plays the guitar and sings his way into our souls.
Itโs appropriate that he chose a song by Elvis, who was once just a child himself, but with the potential to become one of the biggest names in music.
All good things start off small, and this small wonder is off to an amazing start.
