I applied for ‘Ireland’s Got Talent’ mainly because I want to inspire other people, especially all the stutterers around the world since I’m also a stutterer myself,” the 29-year-old nurse shared.

Growing up with a stutter is quite difficult because I am not that confident in expressing myself by talking. I express myself more and express myself better by singing.

It was clear that this young man was quite nervous when he entered the stage. In fact, his audition’s video on the show’s official YouTube channel earmarked that on the title, “Nervous singer Rodelle from the Philippines lights up the stage | Ireland’s Got Talent 2019.”

Despite being nervous, however, Rodelle was able to deliver the audition quite well, receiving a standing ovation from all four judges as well as the entire studio audience as he sang “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, the piece popularized by Elvis Presley.

While he appeared so young and nervous when he began the song, he was actually able to deliver the song in a stellar performance that wowed everyone. There was still a hint of nervousness on his voice as he began singing, yet he became more confident as the song progressed.
