A 13-year-old refugee from Syria stole the show on The Voice Kids on Friday evening with his rendition of Diamonds by Rihanna.

Jean, who currently lives in in a refugee centre in Almere with his sister, mother and grandmother, had been in the Netherlands for just six months when the recording was made, the AD reported.

At the time he lived in a temporary refugee centre in Dordrecht and thanked the centre staff in English for looking after him and his family so well.

The three judges –  Ali B, Marco Borsato and Ilse de Lange – all turned their chairs when they heard him sing, but he eventually opted for Borsato’s team.
