Charlie Luske left the audience speechless with his stunning performance during his blind audition on The Voice Holland. His soulful rendition of James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” was so powerful that the judges couldn’t wait—pressing their buzzers before he even finished the first line.
Originally recorded by James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome in 1966, the song became an instant classic, climbing to number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and hitting number one on the R&B Chart. The title is a playful reference to the 1963 comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Despite the song’s challenging nature, Charlie’s performance paid perfect homage to its iconic legacy.
Aside from his impressive vocal ability, Charlie is also a familiar face as an actor and television personality in the Netherlands. His musical journey began at just twelve years old, when his father encouraged him to take vocal lessons—and clearly, that advice led him to great success.
Charlie’s talent has earned him recognition, with his single “Nobody’s Guy” making waves, and he even made it to the semifinals of The Voice Holland. His audition was nothing short of phenomenal, proving he’s more than capable of going even further in his musical career.
