Dr. Rum automatically got the judges attention by starting his song with “Aint no party unless Rum is at the party now the voice is the party.” He then had the judges laughing when he spoke in Dutch to them saying, “Turn your chairs because this will be a party, which I really want to show you.”

He did not lie when he said this will be a party as five seconds into his performance, Ali B turned his chair around followed by Trijntje Oosterhuis, who both got out of their chair to dance together to the amazing rapping talent of Dr. Rum. Even though the other two judges did not turn their chairs, they can be seen laughing and dancing along.


Dr. Rum ended up choosing the first person to turn their chair for him, Ali B, as his coach for the season, but he lost in the battle rounds. Even though he was eliminated so soon, his audition continues to be popular as it currently has 26 million views on YouTube.
