It requires a courageous vocalist to take on the challenge of performing an Adele song, but 13-year-old French singer Marina Kaye proved that she possessed more than enough soul to make “Rolling in the Deep” her own. With her strikingly expressive and powerful voice, Marina captivated the audience of France’s Got Talent, leaving them on their feet by the time she reached the famous chorus.
Marina’s rendition of the Adele hit not only amazed the judges but also garnered immense praise from music enthusiasts online. Her audition video on YouTube has now accumulated nearly 80 million views and 456K likes as of early 2024.
Instead of attempting to imitate Adele’s vocal style, Marina confidently infuses her own unique flavor into the song. The passion in her eyes as she performs is truly captivating, resulting in a mesmerizing and unforgettable performance.
The video, which was uploaded more than a decade ago, quickly gained tremendous attention. It has attracted thousands of compliments from viewers worldwide in the comments section.
A YouTube user wrote, “I don’t remember if this is the umpteenth time I’ve reviewed this cover. But I make sure I always get goosebumps every time I hear her sing the paragraph ‘We could have it all, rolling in the deep…’ and the audience standing ovation. If it was me I would not be able to sing or do anything else. She’s amazing!”
A viewer predicted her future career, saying, “She really has a great technique of singing and her voice is just clear and great ! In addition , she has star potential ! I can imagine her becoming a big star!”
