Jimi Bellmartin, a senior contestant on The Voice, stole the show in the finals with a powerful rendition of the R&B classic \u2018Stand By Me.\u2019\n\n\n\n

After winning the season, Bellmartin could release an EP and perform live at Amsterdam\u2019s Ziggo Dome. Since the beginning of that year, Bellmartin has been the overwhelming favorite.\n\n\n\n

All the coaches turned around in one go when he sang James Brown\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s a Man\u2019s World\u201d from the first notes of his audition.\n\n\n\n

Jimi Bellmartin performs Ben E King\u2019s \u201cStand By Me\u201d on The Voice Senior\u2019s The Final in this two-minute, thirty-three-second clip. He masterfully performs the song, which is enthralling, especially the chorus \u201cstand by me.\u201d It\u2019s extremely moving.\n\n\n\n

He was a year old when he arrived in Holland. He ended up in Vught as a child. Bellmartin has spent his entire life singing. Not only at parties, but also in the backing vocals of major artists such as Percy Sledge, Lou Rawls, Eric Burdon, and The Trammps.\n\n\n\n

He has traveled the world for years, sharing his talent with millions of people. More than two million people tuned in to see the soul singer win the RTL talent show finale with his rendition of \u201cLoving Someone.\u201d Gordon and Gerard Joling were his trainers.\n\n\n\n

In 1970, Bellmartin released his first single, \u2018This is My Love Song.\u2019 Bellmartin debuted as the lead singer of The Soul Snatchers, a funk band, in 2007. Bellmartin\u2019s \u2018Stand By Me\u2019 performance on The Voice is one of the most memorable, thanks to his signature soul sound.\n\n\n\n
