Back in 2018, Peyton Littleton sang Ed Sheeran's Perfect for this high school's talent show and won the whole thing.

Nothing at this high school could have ever prepared them for Peyton Littleton's secret talent. Being shy and quiet, nobody had ever thought twice of Peyton or even expected that he could perform something so brilliantly.

In 2018, Peyton rose to the center stage and wowed everyone with his shocking, hidden talent at the Central Davidson High School Talent Show. While this was expected to be the typical high school show, Peyton's performance was not.

As Peyton gets ready to perform and is setting his equipment up, the audience is chatting amongst themselves, not really interested in the upcoming performance. Of course, Peyton seems like any other high school student getting ready to showcase his common talent.

Peyton is now ready to perform, but before he goes on, he waits to make sure that all eyes are on him, the mark of a true professional. This little pause confuses the audience and they suddenly realize that Peyton has an amazing treat in store for them. Peyton tells the audience to not be afraid to sing along, as the song he will perform is most likely a tune everyone will know.

Peyton begins singing Ed Sheeran's Perfect, a beautiful melody that makes everyone focus their attention on him.

He plays the guitar to complement his singing, and while this may seem fairly common, coordinating the two can often be difficult. It takes true talent to be able to accurately coordinate your voice and hands. Peyton's delightful music does the talking for him and everyone in the audience is quite frankly, pleasantly shocked.

The students begin shining their flashlights from their cellphones and waving their arms in tune with the music. They gave Peyton a superstar position, one that he more than deserved with his incredible talent. After the talent show, Peyton was given the title of first place. While the video does not show the other performances, it is easy to see how he won.

After Peyton finished performing, the audience erupted in applause and even gave a standing ovation. For someone so shy, we can only imagine how courageous Peyton must have been to perform in front of his classmates, much less the entire school. However, his decision to showcase his talent was the right choice because now he is taking part in plenty of other musical activities in his school.

Perfect by Ed Sheeran was released in 2017 and quickly became the top song in 16 countries, according to Songfacts. It was given three nominations at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards and due to its popularity, Sheeran did duets of the song with popular singers, Beyoncé and Andrea Bocelli.

Ed Sheeran's success with the song was due to its pure serenity. Perfect is a song that makes you remember falling in love all over again and makes you desire to gaze into your lover's eyes for hours and hours. Peyton executed this feeling perfectly. His performance can be seen online on his YouTube channel.
