Jesús del Río , the talented eight-year-old currently reigning supreme on Spain's The Voice Kids AC/DC . Last month, he went viral with his impressive rendition of the rock legends' "Highway to Hell"; now, Del Río is back.
Indeed, the child star impressed once again, both the TV show's coaches and viewers, by singing the 1980 track "Back in Black" during the show's semi-final on July 16. The performance was enough to take Del Río to the final this weekend.
In June, Jesús Del Río delivered the instantly iconic “Highway to Hell,” which all four coaches on The Voice Kids visibly cheered on during his blind audition.
When he finished the first lyric, they were tapping the buttons on their chairs to turn around and see him. As soon as he hit the highest note, the coaches and the audience were all on their feet, applauding and cheering for the young singer. So it's no wonder that Del Río (who was seven years old when the show started, but has since celebrated his birthday) could wield the same power as AC/DC twice.
The Voice Kids , known as La Voz Kids in Spain, is currently in its sixth season. The show is part of the global The Voice , based on the original Dutch reality show competition , The Voice of Holland .
“ The Voice Kids continues with the strongest vocalists from across the country and invites them to compete in this season’s highly successful vocal competition,” the program explains. “This season brings new coaches such as David Bisbal, Melendi, Rosario, and Vanesa Martín .”
