Stepping out onto a stage and auditioning in front of judges and a live audience can be a daunting thing, even for those who have experience in performing.
Which is what makes it all the more special when a child comes on and brings the roof down by showcasing a talent most could only dream of.
Diana Donatella is one such kid. She travelled from the U.S. to Germany to perform on The Voice Kids, and ended up causing quite the stir with her rendition of a classic written by Dolly Parton …
Donatella cites her biggest musical influences as being the likes of Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and Whitney Houston. Now, whilst she has some way to go if she’s to draw parallels when it comes to the success stakes, she’s certainly starting off on the right track.
Her rich voice and supreme confidence saw her make it to the final of the show, where she performed Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You”, the classic made internationally famous by Whitney Houston.
It was quite fitting that she chose such a song, especially since she’d nailed another Whitney tune, “Run To You” during her blind auditions.
So it was that from a crop of 70 talented kids, Donatella made it into the final three.
To say that she did “I Will Always Love You” justice is an understatement. Despite her tender years, Donatella sent shivers rippling around the arena, and it’s with a validated certainly that we can say she’s got an extremely bright future ahead of her.

We know, she’s got an incredible set of lungs! Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston would be proud, we’re sure.
