Check out this moving and passionate audition on Got Talent Uruguay. One girl’s Phil Collins cover earns rave reviews from the judges.
Valentina Veiga begins singing with authenticity and emotion. She selected the song, “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins and seems personally connected to the piece. The judges one by one become impressed. Valentina many times will close her eyes and hold out her hands in the audition. She appears very raw in her performance. Her voice is genuine and sweet. She sings pretty effortlessly overall and will jump to higher notes confidently. Valentina’s choice of song is heartwarming. The way that this singer connects the audience to the music and invites you into the emotion is brilliant. It is one thing to watch someone sing a song, it is another to believe that they relate to what they are singing. Valentina has done just that.
The lyrics of this song say:
There’s nothin’ left here to remind me Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face
This sad song reminds us that while people in this world may let us down, Jesus never will. We can hold on to the hope that we are always loved and cared for by our great God. For example, we see the faithfulness of the Lord to His people throughout all of Scripture.
“Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.” Joshua 21:45
