He is a ten all the way in every category. My God that man's voice is just incredible. He gives me goosebumps. I could listen to him sing all day and night. You can easily tell he is so passionate about his singing. Just only one thing to describe this man, Perfection!
In The Netherlands an 8.5 is already pretty high! They rarely give you a 9 or higher. And this was his first performance on the show, which means they want to have some room to give even higher ratings in the upcoming shows. However, I do agree with you that this is an outstanding performance and he deserves the 10. Hopefully he will get one in the final upcoming Saturday.
Ik ben zelf een grote Elvis fan en ook fan van Tom Jones, Johnny Cash en andere artiesten. Dit nummer heb ik ook vaak gezongen in kroegen. Niemand tipt aan Elvis. Maar Bouke en de band en zeker de vocal backings dames, gitarist en geweldige toetsenist en drummer zetten wat geweldigs neer hier. Mijn respect: I follow you Bouke. Top!
Roughly translated: Presenter (from 2:10): Bouke, that voice! When you came on stage and started singing, all I could think was WOW! The judges are in awe as well, look at their scores! Angela (female judge) (from 2:21): this was our introduction to you and your band and what a good performance you all gave. The band looks great, the backing singers are on point and you Bouke .. what a voice! Do you remember when you first heard Elvis or when you first were moved by him singing? Bouke: that was when I heard Elvis sing 'if I can dream'. Angela: I gave you 8.5 points. Presenter: Spike, you also enjoyed this I see. You also scored them 8.5 points. Spike (from 3:00): Yeah man! Jesus Christ, you are so lucky you were born with such an amazing voice. You really came close to the original. When my eyes are closed it's like listening to Elvis sing. Angela: and without even trying too hard to sound like Elvis. This is your own voice I believe. Bouke: yes, yes .. yes ;-) Spike: it's his voice. You sounded amazing, I dig the band and the backing vocals. But a tip from me: try to be even tighter next time. Presenter: and Caesar, you scored him 8 points. What do you think about this spectacle? Caesar (from 4:00): I expect even more of a spectacle next time! Elvis his career started with 'Jailhouse Rock' and Elvis is the best Rock & Roll figure of all time with those movements of his. I loved his big stadium concerts with his band. That power! I can see by looking at your drummer that the power is to come in your next performance. I am really looking forward to that. For now it's 8 points from me. Presenter: great scores from the judges but what did the audience think of your performance? I can see an almost green 'stairway to heaven' so what's the score? It's a 8.9 which means you are on top of our leaderboard and that we will see you again next week!
