In week two, have we already met The World’s Best?
With his amazing range, Dimash Kudaibergen from Kazakhstan won the title of “The Six-Octave Man” and an almost flawless score on Wednesday’s brand-new edition of the global talent competition program.
“I’ve been performing music for the past 20 years,” Kudaibergen said in his package of introductions. “My high-pitched voice persisted, but as I grew older, I developed a deeper voice. I can now sing in a wide range.
Drew Barrymore exclaimed, “I would have believed there were at least eight or ten people singing if I had closed my eyes.” “One minute you’re Queen, and the next minute you’re Pavarotti, and I’m like, how is this all happening out of one person?”
The passion of Kudaibergen’s performance also astounded RuPaul and Faith Hill, who exclaimed, “You are the reason World’s Best was create!”
The Wall of the World almost agreed with the hopeful candidate’s performance, giving Kudaibergen a score of 98 out of 100. The celebrity panel gave the hopeful competitor perfect scores of 50s throughout. Host James Corden made sure to point out the two judges who didn’t vote for the amazing singer to go to the next round, prompting the audience in cries of “shame” for their differing views.
Other standout performances from the second week of The World’s Best included the Italian nun Sister Christina, who stunned the judges and audience with her rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” the Chinese balancing act Duo Suining, and the German musical puppetry group Dundu Giants of Light, which moved the judges to tears and received a final score of 97 out of 100.
