“A 14-year-old singer named Jade De Rijcke dazzled the panel of judges on ‘The Voice Kids Belgium’ before taking home the title of overall champion for the 2018 tournament.” De Rijcke and her trainer, Gers Pardoel, both won convincingly in this competition. In 2018, Pardoel began his coaching career. Pardoel propelled his student to fame by depending on De Rijcke and his other vocalists to defeat a number of more experienced trainers.Many viewers may be unaware that this was not De Rijcke’s first debut on ‘The Voice Kids.’
She auditioned in 2017 but did not advance past the blind auditions. De Rijcke later admitted that her nervousness got the best of her and that she was sad that her audition did not even make it on television.But De Rijcke did not let that experience discourage her; instead, she returned to her training and tried again, and this time she succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. A failure is sometimes all that is required to motivate a performer, or anyone for that matter, to put in the effort required for success in any chosen endeavor.
The ‘Road to’ films showcase one contestant’s performances during their tenure on the competition. It’s a good approach to compile all of a performer’s tracks into one document. De Rijcke chose ‘Homesick’ by Dua Lipa for the blind audition.’Homesick’ is a quiet, sorrowful, piano-driven ballad about a woman who has been separated from her boyfriend and longs to reconnect with him despite hard barriers and a sense of loneliness. Just as De Rijcke never gave up on her aim of winning the tournament, the woman in this song will not give up her search for her beloved.
De Rijcke chose ‘Sober,’ by American pop singer Demi Lovato, for the semi-final. This is a really depressing song about Lovato’s alcoholism. She describes some of her regrettable conduct, as well as her dread of being unable to stop drinking. Singing a song does not imply living the song, but this is an audacious choice for someone as young as De Rijcke. She approached it with her usual coolness and composure.
‘Grand Piano,’ by American Nicki Minaj, was De Rijcke’s final song on the competition. This is a song about a woman questioning her lover’s sincerity and faithfulness in the relationship. The singer also spends a lot of time studying herself to see whether she has made any bad judgments. De Rijcke appears to enjoy discussing difficult relationships.
Despite the agony and misery in any of her music choices, Jade De Rijcke has prevailed over her challenges, winning a competition that looked impossible for her to win. This is an inspiring narrative, and viewing the movie demonstrates what a future champion looks like.”
