When Taylor Beadle-Williams took to the stage as a contestant on The Voice, there was more than a little pressure on her to deliver. With her father, Mark Williams, being the legendary singer of iconic New Zealand rock band Dragon, the stakes were high as viewers questioned whether or not Taylor would be able to match the abilities of her father.
As soon as she started singing, however, any doubt there may have been about her talents dissipated immediately. Taking on RAYE’s ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND’ – a notoriously difficult song to perform live – Taylor captured the attention of the judges from the start, resulting in all four of them turning their chairs in recognition of her undeniable vocal talents.
Having racked up thousands of views on YouTube alone since it was uploaded, Taylor’s audition has exploded online, with many fans flocking to forums and comment sections online to leave their praise for her performance. “Wow. Just wow. She nailed it,” said one fan, while another simply said, “now THAT was an audition, what an amazing performance.”
As any Music Man readers who are also fans of Taylor might already know, she actually has her own YouTube channel where you can hear more of her incredible singing voice. The video below, for instance, actually sees her collaborating with her father on the song ‘Unfinished Symphony’, originally by Massive Attack.
Taylor’s audition for The Voice, meanwhile, has to be one of the most jaw-dropping that has ever been witnessed on the programme. Despite the tremendous pressure on her shoulders to live up to the legacy of her father and his talents, she stepped up and delivered a performance that will surely go down in history as one of the most memorable on the show.
