Four judges hit their buttons instantly with just five words from a 1966 classic.

Charlie Luske left everyone in awe with his incredible talent during his blind audition on The Voice Holland. His powerful rendition of James Brown’s It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World was so captivating that the judges couldn’t wait—hitting their buzzers before he even finished the first line.

Originally recorded by Betty Jean Newsome and James Brown in 1966, the song became an instant classic, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Billboard R&B Chart. Its title cleverly nods to the 1963 comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Though known for its difficulty, Charlie delivered a performance that truly honored the song’s legendary status.

Beyond his vocal skills, Charlie is also a well-known actor and television personality in the Netherlands. His musical journey began at the age of twelve, encouraged by his father to pursue vocal lessons—clearly, that dedication paid off.

Charlie’s talent didn’t go unnoticed. He released his own single, Nobody’s Guy, and made it all the way to the semifinals of The Voice Holland. His performance was nothing short of extraordinary, proving he has the potential to go even further.
