Ed Sheeran is an English singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. He is such a talented guy because of his heartfelt, beautiful love songs and sweet alluring voice. He has received four Grammy Awards and sold over 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the world’s best-selling music artists.
With all the achievements and awards that he’s had, this man remains humble and did not let fame and wealth get to his head. He is truly a one-of-a-kind artist and a musical genius.
And that makes his songs extremely hard to replicate.
This young man, however, fearlessly sang one of Sheeran’s hit songs.
His name is Peyton Littleton and he serenaded everyone with a “Perfect” song.
In a YouTube video during the 2018 Central Davidson Highschool Talent Show, Littleton is getting ready for his performance and we can tell that this young man is not nervous, not at all.
With his laid-back looks, calm aura, and pleasing personality, you wouldn’t suspect him to do something spectacular.
The rest of the students are just sitting on the gymnasium’s bench, filling the room with indecipherable chatter while waiting for him to start his piece.
As soon as he strummed his guitar strings, everyone turned silent.
After a bit more plucks and strums, he started singing the 2017 Ed Sheeran hit song Perfect. He immediately had their attention just from the first few lines of the song.
And wouldn’t you agree with me if I’d say that he somehow sounded like Ed Sheeran?
“Perfect” is a song from Sheeran’s third studio album “÷.”
The song quickly became a hit. It became the number one hit on the UK Singles Chart. The sweet romantic ballad also made it to the Billboard Top 100.
It’s a megahit and there’s no more wondering why it’s known by a lot of people worldwide, that includes the students of Central Davidson High School of course.
A typical person would usually worry about not being able to give this song justice, let alone for a high school student. And most importantly, to perform it in front of a huge crowd- oh, it’s really nerve-wracking!
But Littleton couldn’t care less about all of that, he just wants to entertain the people.
He has a soothing voice, a distinct quality that’s perfect for a romantic song. He’s definitely done a great job in giving the song fair justice. His fellow students were all eyes and ears on him, perhaps they’re shocked by his talent, something that they didn’t know this young man possesses.
With the song’s lyrics, did he dedicate this one to someone special?
Sheeran wrote the song with his own school sweetheart in mind, Cherry Seaborn. As the first few lines read,
“I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me.”
It’s a special song that’s only meant for that one special person. These are the types of songs that Ed Sheeran has given us over the years.
Everyone loved it, including online viewers.
Littleton flawlessly ended his performance and everyone tossed the love right back at him. He was met with endless rounds of applause and loud cheers. Not only that, but the video also got over 5.5 million views and over 100K likes.
To no one’s surprise, his short but sweet performance put him in first place in the school’s talent show.
Watch the video yourself and see what the judges saw from Littleton’s performance.
