It is jarring to hear such a voice from someone so incredibly young. Malakai’s performance is so beautiful that it moves people to tears. One of the judges has tears welling up in his eyes. The young man is simply unbelievable, blessed with the voice of an angel! The camera also catches a couple of audience members who wipe tears from their eyes. Simon, when giving the young man his thoughts on his performance, keeps it short and sweet. “Malakai, there’s only one word I could use to describe that: golden,” he says.
