Robbie, a 7-year-old contestant on Britain’s Got Talent, wanted to show his family how pleased he made them when he entered the stage.
He wanted to do something special for his aunt in particular.
Robbie brought his mother, grandmother, and aunt to the performance, and he was not going to let them down.
Before the show, Robbie told the judges that he wanted to make his family the most proud one ever.
That’s a high objective. There have been many families who have been pleased with their young children throughout history.
That was still Robbie’s objective, and he was committed to achieving it. Robbie entered the stage with a level of assurance that is uncommon for a seven-year-old.
He attempted to arrange up his aunt on a date with Judge Louis while simultaneously telling the judges that he thought he could win the tournament.
Robbie, you’re off to a good start.
Robbie carried out the task in his own way.
Robbie sang My Way, a song made famous by Frank Sinatra but not really appropriate for a seven-year-old.
When a seven-year-old sings about having lived a complete life, it doesn’t make much sense, but Robbie delivers it
with such conviction and emotion that it works.Originally, My Way was a French song with a different meaning.
The song’s original title was Comme D’Habitude, and it was recorded in French. After being published in 1967, it became very popular in some regions of Europe.
That song’s lyrics describe the narrative of an elderly man—far older than seven—whose marriage was disintegrating because of boredom.
Many musicians have given ‘My Way’ their unique touch over the years.
Since being popularized by Sinatra, artists such as Tom Jones, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, and even Elvis Presley have recorded their own versions.
In 1979, the song was even covered by the punk group The Sex Pistols.
Paul Anka modifies Comme D’Habitude’s lyrics.
Upon his arrival in New York from France, Anka revised the song’s lyrics before submitting it to Sinatra.
He modified it so that it was about an elderly man looking back on his life at the end of his life rather than a man reflecting on a failing marriage.
Robbie is a great example for his family.
Robbie certainly made his family proud by receiving three ‘yeses’ from the judges and receiving a
standing ovation from the audience, even though it’s unclear if the boy’s aunt actually went on a date with Judge Louis.
Online video of Robbie’s performance has become very popular.
More than 115K people have “liked” it on YouTube, where 19.7 million people have watched it.
Not bad for a young child who was unquestionably destined for stardom!
