People tend to forget that talent hunts sometimes indeed uncover real talent. The best example in the Netherlands is soul man Boris. He won the Idols competition in 2004 and from that moment on, his career took a successful turn. But even without the talent hunt, Boris would have succeeded. On his most recent record Live My Life Boris shows his personal side, which also results in a raw sound. Think of the steaming funk of an early Prince combined with the feel of Otis Redding. You can figure it out for yourself: this is a real talent. One that keeps the soul alive.
