The Adorable Alex Maxim Twins and Singer Natalie Absolutely SLAY This Rendition of a George Michael Classic
Get ready to be blown away by this performance courtesy of some seriously talented kids. It shows the 9-year-old Alex Maxim twins and their ten-year-old friend Natalie get together to give a live rendition of one of George Michael’s best-known and most accomplished songs – ‘Careless Whisper’ – and blow their entire live audience away in the process! When you watch the video for yourself, you will quickly realize why it has already racked up over fifteen million views.
From the very beginning, the three young performers have the aura of professional musicians, looking out expectantly at their audience as they prepare themselves for their rendition. Once they start performing, meanwhile, the first thing that will blow you away is the incredible clarity of the vocals delivered by Natalie; throughout the rendition, she never once drops a note or sounds flat, a mind-blowing achievement considering her age and the iconic status of the song she is singing.
As for the Alex Maxim twins – whose real names are Alex Šesták & Maxim Šesták – they hold the performance together, with Maxim handling keyboard duties like a pro, and Alex playing the saxophone like he’s been doing it for decades. In fact, it’s the saxophone solo that really makes this performance, with Alex delivering that iconic melody from the original version of ‘Careless Whisper’ with the ease and flourish of a seasoned saxophonist.
Whilst their cover of ‘Careless Whisper’ remains the most popular video on their channel by a fair stretch, the twins have numerous other videos that are also worth checking out. For instance, we think Music Man readers will love their saxophone-infused twist on the 2017 mega-hit ‘Despacito’, the original music video for which remains YouTube’s second most popular upload. The twins do an admirable job of putting their own stamp on the track, with their cover racking up a respectable 136K views.
You’re unlikely to find two musicians of this age who have as much blatant passion for music as this pair, while their incredible levels of talent show that they are seriously dedicated players who have a lot of future potential. Their cover of ‘Careless Whisper’ in particular proves what great musicians they are, and with a little help from their Natalie on vocals, it’s little wonder that the video became so popular when it was originally uploaded in 2017. The twins are still making music today too, and we highly encourage you to head over to their YouTube channel to check out what they’re up to nowadays.
