Whitney Houston songs have always been a favorite on talent shows, the songs well known and liked by millions and if you have a great voice like Arisxandra or Lyn, a 10-year-old contestant on ‘The Voice France Kids’ in 2017, it shows off vocal range and ability with impressive sound.

When French-Lebanese Lyn Khouri took to the stage for her blind audition on ‘The Voice France Kids’ she amazed the judges with her performance of the hit song ‘I Will Always Love You.’

When she started to sing she blew the audience away, and it didn’t take long for the judges to hit their buttons almost in unison as soon as she got to the chorus.

While listening to these children it is easy to forget that they are indeed just children, in spite of their beautiful voices. The audience and judges got a reminder of this when 9-year-old Malakai Paul from London took to the stage for his audition.

He was a bundle of nerves as he started to sing the Beyonce song ‘Listen,’ but not far into the song he started to cry. Mum rushed onstage to comfort him, having empathy with this little boy the judges granted him a restart.
