Nervous Girl Makes The Jury Cringe But Seconds Later She Blows Them All Away

Being a judge on The Voice is no easy job. Unless you want to be coined as the heartless judge, you have to walk the line between being critical and sugarcoating things. While this is difficult enough as it is, being a judge on The Voice Kids Portugal must be ten times more difficult. As children are more sensitive and not as hardened to the cruelties of the world, the judges must work hard in order to not crush these children's dreams.

It takes courage to audition for a competition on television, especially as a young kid. Matilde Leite is such a child with courage the size of a mountain. Unfortunately for Matilde (and many other people), courage does not always eradicate the nerves. Young Matilde was overwhelmed with nervousness as she started performing a Christmas classic in front of the judges.

Her pitch was terrible and the judges did not try to hide their opinions. They all appeared to be less than satisfied with her performance and this only got worse as the performance dragged on. As Matilde kept on singing, the judges continued to pull faces at her off-key singing and lyrical flubs. Some of them pulled sour faces, others threw their hands up at her mistakes, and others still tried to maintain a neutral expression to keep things calm.

Matilde's performance was so bad that one of the judges almost asked her to stop. She clearly felt like listening to this girl was a waste of her time given the judge's experience in the industry. Fortunately for both the judges and Matilde, they didn't stop her.

As Matilde continued singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by the one and only Mariah Carey she became more confident and her nervousness faded away into the distance. By the end of the song, Matilde sounded like an entirely different person. Of course, this resulted in the judges turning around as fast as they could. Each of them wanting this powerhouse on their team.

Matilde's journey on The Voice just goes to show that while first impressions are important, they can still be changed. Matilde is an inspiration to all the little girls and boys out there with incredible talents that are too nervous to do anything with them. Just like Matilde, they can overcome their fear and show the world how incredibly talented they are.
