Watch Viktor Király win his battle on ‘The Voice’ in America

He’s got the looks, he’s got the style and it’s now official ‘He’s Got The Voice’ in America according to Maroon 5 judge Adam Levine.

New York-born Hungarian singer Viktor Király has beaten Cassandra Robertson, one of the most experienced performers of the competition, in a battle aired by the US talent show The Voice.

His victory means that the 31-year-old Hungarian performer has progressed to the next round of the talent show. “I’m out of my mind, I’m very happy”, he told the tabloid newspaper Blikk.

The two singers performed the song “Nobody Knows It But Me”, originally by the Tony Rich Project, to the standing applause of the superstar-studded jury, comprised of Gwen Stefani, Adam Levigne, Pharell Williams and Blake Shelton. Adam Levine, the Hungarian singer’s master, rejected Pharrell’s call to vote for Cassandra Robertson, securing progess for him to the next round of the ninth season of the talent show, aired on NBC since 21 September. Both singers are in Adam Levine’s category and he had to decide which of the two to send to the live shows.

In a tense decision Adam decided to send Viktor through to the live shows.

In 2008, the Hungarian pop singer, who was born in the United States but has been living in Hungary since 1999, won the fourth series of the Hungarian talent show Megasztár, Later, he participated two times in the Hungarian national selection, A Dal, to the Eurovision Song Contest; in 2012 with his twin brother and sister – fellow singer Linda Király – as The Kiralys (Király Testvérek), performing the song “Untried” – he came 4th that year – and in 2014 as a solo artist, with “Running Out Of Time”.

Can he go all the way and win The Voice? Let’s cheer him on.

And here is the lyrics of the song of his winning performance:

“Nobody Knows”

[talking:]

Wish I’d told her how I felt,

Then maybe she’d be here right now

But instead…

[singing:]

I pretended that I’m glad you went away

These four walls closing more every day

And I’m dying inside

And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown I put on a show

The pain is real even if nobody knows

And I’m crying inside

And nobody knows it but me

Why didn’t I say the things I needed to say

How could I let my angel get away

Now my world is just a-tumblin’ down

I can say it so clearly but you’re nowhere around

The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and

I just keep thinking about the love that we had

And I’m missing you

And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I’m broken in two

And I’m nobody without someone like you

I’m trembling inside

And nobody knows it but me (yeah)

I lie awake, it’s a quarter past three

I’m screaming at night if I thought you’d hear me

Yeah, my heart is calling you

And nobody knows it but me (well, well)

How blue can I get?

You could ask my heart

But like a jigsaw puzzle it’s been torn all apart

A million words couldn’t say just how I feel

A million years from now you know I’ll be loving you still

The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and

I just keep thinking about the love that we had

And I’m missing you

And nobody knows it but me

Oooo oohhhhh yeah
 

Tomorrow morning, I’m hitting the dusty road

Gonna find you, where ever, ever you might go

And I’m gonna unload my heart

and hope you can come back to me

(Say when the nights are lonely)

The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and

I just keep thinking about the love that we had

And I’m missing you

And nobody knows it but me
