There’s no shortage of talent in the world. We have seen countless reality shows and sometimes we come across kids who just blow our minds.
While I’m not the biggest fan of reality tv singing shows, I always cheer when I see talented kids take the stage, armed with big dreams and a whole lot of courage.
In the case of 12-year-old Oliver Rytting, not even the prospect of going before 4 judges and a packed audience was enough to deter him from his dream of winning Sweden’s Got Talent and taking the grand prize of 500,000 Swedish Krona with his showmanship and lifelong love for classic rock, ideally spending it on a recording studio and donating to the World Wildlife Fund.
The kid’s performance of KISS’ 1984 classic “Heaven’s On Fire” was so good and so wonderfully endearing that there was one judge in particular that lost it completely, totally unable to contain herself throughout Oliver’s moment in the spotlight.
You can see audience screaming, clapped and sang along with him, Oliver commanded the stage with the ease of a seasoned performer – including plenty of air guitar, fist-clenching, and engaging with the audience and judges for a performance they’ll never forget – and neither will you.
