71-year-old singer set “The Voice” stage on fire with “Stand By Me”: video
Jimi Bellmartin, a contestant on the final season of The Voice, stole the show in the finale with a powerful rendition of the R&B classic “Stand By Me.”
After winning the season, Bellmartin was able to release an EP and perform live at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Since the beginning of the year, Bellmartin has been the clear favorite.
All the coaches turned around at once when he sang James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s World” from the first notes of his audition.
Jimi Bellmartin performs Ben E King’s “Stand By Me” on The Voice Senior’s The Final in this two minute and thirty-three second clip. His rendition of the song is masterful, especially the chorus “stand by me”. It’s very touching.
He was one year old when he arrived in the Netherlands. As a child he ended up in Vught. Bellmartin spent his life singing. Not only at parties, but also in the choirs of great artists like Percy Sledge, Lou Rawls, Eric Burdon and The Trammps.
