At the beginning of this film, a young man named Dakota Striplin begins to sing and play guitar with an angelic voice. A judge instantly circles her chair and places her palm on her heart.

Suddenly, another judge exclaims, “I need to see what’s going on here” and turns her chair.

At the end of his song, one of the judges expresses her delight that this young man is here. The judges are astounded because he not only sang but also played.

They inquire as to what prompted him to select that music and artist.

Dakota says that Elvis influenced him, that his grandmother used to adore attending the performances, and that there is a running joke in the family that he could be his grandchild.

When the judges see the likeness, they chuckle.
Dakota recounts his experience by saying that his father doesn’t talk about it often. His grandmother, on the other hand, used to accompany Elvis to his gigs in Hawaii.

Dakota’s father would accompany her to Hawaii, but none of her other children would.
When Elvis died, his grandma suffered a more profound and emotional loss.

A DNA test a few years ago confirmed that his grandfather is not his grandfather; hence, Dakota’s grandfather is Elvis.

Following the narrative, two judges step forward in the hopes of being chosen as his coach. Finally, he chooses the judge who voted for him first.

After that, there’s another tape of Dakota singing in a knockout round.
We may not always know where we came from, but we can always find comfort in our unchanging identity in Christ.

We are adopted into God’s family when we embrace Jesus as our Sa.
