Charles Higgins II is now in ninth grade, but he was once a bashful third grader who participated in a talent contest. After performing the hit Maroon 5 song “Sugar” in 2018, Charles stunned his mother in 2022 by singing a solo during a group performance of “This Is Me.” The song comes from The Greatest Showman. Charles’s exquisite voice blossomed after a timid and wobbly start. The bashful youngster singing the brief solo surprises the crowd.
The audio isn’t fantastic, and Charles has a bit of an accent, but the lines he sings so angelically are: “When the sharpest words wanna cut me down; I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ’em out; This is brave, this is bruised; This is who I’m meant to be, this is me.” The bearded lady confidently stands and proclaims, “This is me,” as she sings this movie song.
@jlrogers87 When your son surprises you and has a solo…..and blows you away….along with the crowd. Please help my son reach some singing scout. @Greatest Showman #HaloSilverTeam #charleslloyd #hesonly13 #proudmomma #heartstringspulled #blowthisvideoup ♬ original sound – jlrogers87
Charles begins quietly but soon finds his voice for a forceful finish. The video above was first released when he was 13 years old. It’s been two years, and his mother has now shared some fresh footage. Be prepared—his voice has altered and is much lower. He no longer has that high, bashful kid voice, but his solo of REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling”sounds equally amazing.
Charles still begins as a bashful youngster when he performs this latest solo, which gets even more fascinating as his voice steadies and improves. There is no doubt that this young man possesses talent. He is 15 and in high school. Hopefully, he will continue singing. We could catch him on The Voice or America’s Got Talent!
@jlrogers87 Y’all have been asking for more videos of Charles singing…well I can finally say after almost 2 years of waiting, your wish has been granted.
