PETALING JAYA: A Malaysian singer got the judges of The Voice UK up on their feet and performing the "poco-poco" line dance on the final "blind auditions" that aired on Saturday.
Jeffri Ramli, 35, gave a rousing rendition of Amy Winehouse's Valerie, and then taught the judges how to perform the popular line dance after Will.I.Am asked Jeffri if he knew the "traditional Malaysian dance" that he likened to the Electric Slide dance move.
All four judges, namely Will.I.Am, Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith and Boy George then got up on stage, much to the audience's delight, to have Jeffri teach them the steps to poco-poco, a dance originating from Indonesia.
After their impromptu dance class, the judges hugged and thanked Jeffri for the quick dance lesson and Will.I.Am praised Jeffri for having "a wonderful country".
Judge Paloma Faith also complimented Jeffri's sense of fashion, saying that she admired his suit from "head to toe".
But unfortunately, Jeffri did not snag the last remaining spot in Will.I.am's team.
Jeffri told The Voice UK that he has been living in Newcastle for 13 years and that he has been mastering his skills in K-pop.
"It is a very unique style of music with a lot of dancing. You basically just go crazy."
"I think the UK needs to hear Jeffri Ramli," he said in a televised interview.
