The 61-year-old Patty Crawfurd covered the beautiful Hawaiian song ‘Over the Rainbow’ on The Voice Senior and turned the chairs quickly. Her powerful voice perfectly complemented the touching lyrics of this song.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, or IZ, wrote and released this song in 1993. The touching melody and nostalgic lyrics have always been famous for touching the hearts of whoever heard it.
Almost 30 years later, Patty Crawfurd performs this song in front of a live audience and four judges at the super popular The Voice Senior in Holland. The 61-year-old takes to the stage, radiating confidence, and hits the right notes right from the start.
The original artist, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, aka IZ, has become known as ‘The Voice of Hawaii’, but following this spectacular performance by Patty, she might become known as ‘The Voice of Holland’.
In the video, the first judge punches the button and swings around with eager curiosity. She looks very delighted and continues to enjoy the performance. Later, it is clear that the beautiful voice of Patty is stirring up emotions in the judge as her eyes become watery.
Another judge gets convinced by the perfect performance, and he also slaps his button. He turns around with glee and is taken away by the mesmerizing performance of this highly talented lady.
Goosebumps crawl up the spines of the people present as well as the viewers at home. Patty’s confidence allows her to control her voice perfectly, hitting high and low notes with perfection. It is no wonder she can turn the chairs with ease like that.
