GUWAHATI: Ade, a Naga singer based in Mizoram, has become a social media sensation after his rendition of Bon Jovi's 1994 hit 'Always' blew up on the internet a few days ago.
Ade's rendition of the pop-rock ballad first came to notice after noted guitarist Victor Vanlalhruaia made a reaction video on his YouTube channel 'Victor dA scavenger.'
Ade performed the song in March earlier this year. And let us just tell you here -- Ade totally smashed it! Everyone who has heard Ade's rendition of the hit song has commended his ability to hit the impossibly high notes without losing the slightest bit of control. Even during the iconic chorus, his voice barely quivered-- truly a performance worthy of the great Bon Jovi himself!
Not an easy song to sing by any measure, 'Always' peaked at #4 US Billboard Hot 100 and is considered the gold standard for Bon Jovi songs.
Victor was so very impressed by the rendition that he told his audience that he will call Ade for collaboration as soon as he gets his number!
