Some people have voices that are so interesting, just listening to them can send chills down your spine.

Aleksandar Mileusnic has one of those voices. The world first met the young singer six years ago when he was just 17. Competing on “The Voice UK,†Aleksandar was a finalist and later released a single on iTunes. After that, though, he just seemed to disappear… that is until recently when he wooed the “Britain’s Got Talent” audience with his sultry singing voice once again.

Now 23, Aleksandar took a role as a government worker, but his aspirations reach much farther than that, especially with a baby on the way! As he introduced himself to the judges, he told them that his family is the whole reason he wants another shot at fame.

“That’s why I’m here … for Millie and my son. I want to make them proud,”he said.

While his long-term goals are admirable, what set Aleksandar apart, aside from his jazzy voice, was his song choice: a swing-infused version of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.â€

He had everyone, including the judges, eating out of his hand within the first few seconds, and by the time he was half-way through, the entire audience was clapping along. Putting an unexpected spin on that song will have that effect on people… and the fact that he’s just flat-out adorable doesn’t hurt, either!

“You do have the sweetest tone – and the whole performance was charming, it was seductive, it was alluring, it was lovely,”judge Alesha noted during the panel discussion afterward.

As usual, Simon’s expression was hard to read throughout the performance, but by the time he was done with his review, Aleksandar’s face had broken into one of those heart-melting, boyishly adorable grins.

“This was so clever what you did, that you turned a song into a swing song. It was authentic, it was cool. I actually feel that I’m witnessing a star being born in front of me,” Simon gushed.

Listen to the creative liberty he took to make “Seven Nation Army”his own in the audition below, and share to spread good luck to this talented young man.
