The Voice UK Live Shows + comments from 4 coaches of Ruth Brown performing "Get Here (if you can)" All four coaches are impressed by the top performance of this girl ! Live Show Team Tom Jones VS Team Will.i.am Air Date : 28 April 2012
I hate hearing people act like this wasn't good...its iconic! The amount of control while belting and riffing with such soul is like vocal Olympics and this woman was untouchable imo and if anyone embodied the reason the Voice was created. Her not winning was the worst mistake the show ever made.
she made this song hers and I love her remake...damn everybody is not going to sing it like the actual original version...that's what makes a song special
Ruth sounds and performs as if she has already been in showbusiness for decades. It's heart rending to hear she has not recieved any professional coaching. Please tour so we can hear you live!
when everyone says that someone gave them goosebumps from their voice i wondered what it would feel like i know what it feels like thxs to Ruth Brown ♥ your the first person to do that to me
I want a CD album from you Ruth and watch you perform live. I want a movie of you, you're so beautiful and interesting, I really love how much soul you have, how beautiful you are exterior and interior. You're the whole package!
The battle is between Ruth, Jaz and Taylor tonite. So glad that The Voice has become a soul singer's competition. Love the amount of feeling they put into their beautiful voices in their performances. Can't wait to hear them next Saturday!
I know I perhaps shouldn't swear on here - but effing hell, this girl is amazing, absolutely effing amazing. She is up there with all of the soul greats and the UK should be proud we have her!
This is the first time I've seen/heard this person sing, & I don't typically leave comments in all capital letters; but only one notion came to mind from the start of the song: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. Of all the times I've watched these shows & covers, this is the first time I've seen one who owns it from the first few phrases. I hope she stays real despite the package she comes in.
Check out Tom at 1:04 - this guy has seen and heard it all in over 50 years in the biz and Ruth makes him THAT emotional? Believe me, this girl is super special.
