Four judges hit their buttons instantly with just five words from a 1966 classic.

Charlie Luske left the judges speechless with his extraordinary talent during his blind audition on The Voice Holland. His powerful interpretation of James Brown’s It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World was so mesmerizing that the judges couldn’t resist—hitting their buzzers before he even completed the first line.

Originally released by James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome in 1966, the song became an instant classic, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and securing the top spot on the R&B Chart. Its title is a clever reference to the 1963 comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Despite its vocal challenges, Charlie’s rendition beautifully honored the song’s iconic legacy.

In addition to his impressive vocal abilities, Charlie is also a renowned actor and television personality in the Netherlands. His musical journey began at the age of twelve when his father encouraged him to take vocal lessons—a decision that clearly paid off.

Charlie’s talent quickly gained recognition. He released his own single, Nobody’s Guy, and made it to the semifinals of The Voice Holland. His performance was exceptional, showing he’s ready to go even further.
