After watching this video I just gained a whole new entire level of respect for Kelly. She saw potential, she knew it could be controversial, but she never gave up on him and helped him through the controversy and show the world how good he really is.
She did amazing both contestants came 1st & 2nd, won with Chris Sebastian, created the perfect little girls “little mix” and they won X Factor UK (by mentor tulisa), That’s why she needs to replace someone on The Voice USA 🇺🇸
The sour grape put out by one coach "you're just dj-ing, am I wrong?" - was actually the best push to get Kelly to see the immediate problem of closed minded people who aren't real artists. She got him singing over his own loops for all the doubters to hear the "music" and the "voice". That young man has more talent and intellect than I have ever seen in any competitor on any of these shows globally. I am glad he won.
@@vokasimid5330 While another DJ would be a solid choice, having someone who can help him push his vocal element helps set him apart from other beatboxers.
As an Australian, when this was live television it was just phenomenal. The energy, the controversy, the drama of it all was amazing, Sam may not be the traditional singer that some wanted, he is much more, he is special. And make no mistake, he sung. I’d watch Sam do it all over again.
Boy George was pissed at the end..... Hahahaaa. I'm so glad Sam picked Kelly. George always seems to think everything is about him, because he is trying to stay relevant. He had his 5-minutes of fame, but for some odd reason he cant realize that when someone else is in line. Kelly did Sam justice..... I heard that they have been best friends since this show.
Yeah. To be frank, I don't think it's fair to call him a DJ at all. A DJ mainly work with pre-recorded music which Sam does not. Sam does live looping and layering. He is a looper.
The show is called "THE VOICE", George... It's not about "singing", it's about the VOICE. Sam is one of the most talented youngsters in the entire world. Guided truly by an Angel.
The Rolling Stones battle was one the best duets ever - they could tour with that, they sounded great together. I really thought that was the best performance of all.
That 'Sympathy for the Devil' battle was awesome. Sam calling out 'sing it AP!" shows what a pure heart he has which really took it up another level. He definitely deserved winning the competition.
Omg I completely agree!! Was thinking the same exact thing!!!! He is so great and it's like he just wanted to make sure ap did great too and that just shows what kind of a heart this guy has!! He is absolutely amazing!!!!💙💜💙💜💙
@@pedropessoa2246 I agree. I even tried researching to see if they preformed together after this and I only found 1 song and it has to be bought so I didn’t. I thought their energy was great. I think Sam’s personality was even more open. He is quite shy and you could tell the comments George gave him really hit him hard and a applaud Kelly for just jumping in there and saying “I call bull$hit” she really changed my view on her too after this. She has always had a little diva attitude but with him I truly saw her coach and truly mentor him. There’s not a lot of information out there about Sam and I wondered if anyone knew what happened with him.
Sam's face when Kelly gave him Bohemian rhapsody. Even better than when she gave him survivor. But damn that woman knows what she's doing. All his performances came out amazing
Sam’s talent is incredible and during the knockouts when George said he “wasn’t really a singer” u have to realize not only is everything he does is made by his voice, his regular voice when he sings has a incredibly rare tone. Also respect to Sam and Kelly with dealing with all the hate, I love looping so much!!!
Take away the looping, the beatboxing and the tech, and Sam *still* has a powerful rock voice and an operatic falsetto, and a nice tone. That's more than many people who might be singers, but aren't really artists.
She showed what a great coach can do - she took him from a what was a good, entertaining act that was seen as a bit of a novelty to a true well rounded performer.
The fact that both finalist are from Kelly’s team show how much of a sensational mentor and coach kelly really is ! ❤️ Mad respect to her for believing in Sam since day 1
Many people said “He is not a Singer” “He dont deserve to win” things like that, I was like “Bit*h??? He is doing this with his own freakin voice!! How???” He is so amazing. The collab with Kelly was just Tremendous❤️🔥
The thing that many think "he's not a singer" is because he is adjusting his voice to how he needs to sound at any given moment. I'm not saying he isn't good, just that he is applying technology to enhance his voice as needed singing "Live". Much like what happens in a recording studio. While the others are very limited(in a tech aspect) during a "live" performance relying mostly on their vocals. The voice is in control of what is fair and what isn't. They make the rules.
@@p.s.4201 But other then the beats, was he changing his singing voice. I would like to see him just sing to put it to rest if he is really that good of a singer of if the tech is helping. But in the grand scheme of thing, there are so many artist the sound like S* unless they have the reverbe or auto-tune. Sam has an amazing talent, to be able to loop so that the sound mix correct is crazy.
@@p.s.4201 he actually only uses reverb on the opera recordings. the rest is all his voice. He know adding effects would be not the sense of the voice^^. The singing is all by himself, always was.
The coaches were right, this guy's a gamechanger for competitions like this. This the the purest form of The Voice, because he uses nothing else. Incredible talent, and an incredible person.
@@dragonbrain Excuse me?!?! The songs that Kelly gave him really pushed him to be a better artist. She made him tackle stuff that he as a loop artist would never tackle. She gave him great songs!
@@jodykilloran5650 Indeed! I 100% agree with you! Not sure what kind of style Mr. Wolfie would've wanted to see. But songs like Queen, where you have different key's, different styles, all combined together, that's just crazy good! He really had to think about the arrangement and on top of that, of course, sing the lead of the song! No, this guy was great and he had great songs. She absolutely pushed him! And yes, he can do a lot more as he goes out further in the future. That's the whole point. Kelly was there to coach him to get him on his way up. And something in me tells me that he absolutely will go further and higher up!
You know an artist is good and video is gone when you can easily watch 35+ minutes without stopping, or looking at the comments. This was art. Great music. Great interpretation. Beautiful vision and execution. Brilliant talent, energy, and overall captivating.
He can sing anything thrown to him. He has a talent that not too many people have. He is at genius level. When I stop and Really pay attention to everything he is doing my mind explodes 🥰
@@stilldimm4110 mmmm the thing is, that saro isnt really a singer, his vocal skill is impressive, but saro is more the drop guy, you know? Gene would be a nice pick!
The only person to ever literally embody 'the voice' this is untouchable and won't ever be topped on this show! Hands down the greatest performances I have ever seen from a CONTESTANT! NO ONE is topping this! Sorry in advance!
Sam would literally body any other artist on the show. His breath control, vocal range and overall stamina is out of this world. Damn just listen to his rendition of Michael Jackson's song. He's incredible.
I said “30+ minutes? I’ll just watch a bit to see what this is about.” Sat down and watched the whole damn thing. I’ve seen this done before, but it was cool to see it on such a big platform!
Check out his work he's amazing. He does a combo of gangsters paradise and surviver. Beat boxing is so awesome. I'm glad they finally had someone on voice
I loved how she really pushed him to stretch his repertoire but still kept his unique style. I wouldn’t necessarily imagined them together but they truly inspired each other I think.
Not just to be contrary but I suspect George coyld have been a very good coach for Sam. I feel like George was actually jealous/conflicted re: Sam. His background and experience would have been a benefit to Sam. I sensed regret from Boy George.
Loved that Kelly kept pushing him out of his comfort level and made him better for it. Would love to see more of him and AP very much an oil and water mix but it works like a perfect 50/50 mesh up.
As a DJ myself, I have to question Boy George's intelligence both musically and in general with his completely off the wall commentary. How in the world could he simply reduce the voice looping to the equivalent of just DJing?!?!? 99% of the world could DJ. 99% of the world could not do what Sam does.
Boy George has been dining out of Karma Chameleon all his life, he's a one hit wonder who likes to kidnap rent boys and chain them up against their will so they can't escape. That's what he went to jail for.
Because voice looping is not new. DJs have been doing it for decades with MCs. It just was before its time since technology was not advance as it is now to provide the quality of what you hear now. So as a DJ Boy George has seen it only as DJing
Because Boy George loved what he did when he had the chance to get him on his team, and the second the attention shifted his instinct was to try to put the man down
Forgot how he downplayed denzel for rapping his own songs? And then when he finally did another artists to rap he saw the difference in quality of rap and tones Lol but don't forget he called boy George out for the beer his father bought him years ago🤣🤣🤣 he symuper pressed and holding a grudge for calling him out haha some man had him in heart over a beer and made sure to get his revenge through his son 20, 30 years later 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sympathy for the Devil song was absolutely amazing. These two performers were so perfect together, they should actually go on tour together. I'm Irish, and I'd definitely pay good money to go watch them perform together on stage. One superb performance 👏👌
Sam wasn't at all scared of sharing the stage, he even hyped up opponent shouting, "Sing it AP!!!" Just making badass music on the fly and I wishing it could go longer.
The performance with AP is one of the best collabs in music history. For Kelly to see how this could be is incredible. I come back to this at least once a month it's amazing. Both of these guys were game and seemed like they loved singing together. Too bad one had to go home.
Im 10 months late but AP was a wildcard. Kelly pressed her button to nominate him as a wild card and he won it. Unfortunately he was eliminated before semi finals😢
He's not just a looper - I LOVE his voice!! It's so unique and haunting. And I have so much respect for Kelly - she is such a great talent herself and brings out the best in others.
The pairing of Kelly and Sam was destiny. Kelly remained true to embracing Sam's natural given talent and allowed him to persue extraordinary musical triumphs in his own right. Brilliant, masterful, creative genius on both their endeavors. BRAVO
Kelly showed what a great coach can do - she took him from a what was a good, entertaining act that was seen as a bit of a novelty to a true well rounded performer. He’s really pushing the envelope and experimental. A true artist- so humble and reserved and then when he’s performing he just blossoms- he works so hard to give 110% every time. The sheer amount of focus and effort his performances must take is simply astounding. Bohemian Rhapsody was tour de force. The fact he gives a totally fresh interpretation of songs was impressive. George complaining was like the equivalent of when ppl used to say oh “rap” isn’t really music and now look.
This didn't just make me a Sam fan, it made me a Kelly fan. She didn't make it easy on him. No doubt in my mind he was the most talented of the season, but I think he won because she was exactly the right coach to get him through. Plus, her performance in 'They Don't Care About Us' reminded the world of who she really is.
I literally guessed that he was gonna do bohemian rhapsody because, he said this switches key and tempo. Then Kelly said it has hints of opera, and I just knew it was Queen.
Kelly was really the best coach for Sam. She helped him to show his great talent. She empowered him so that he could learn to trust himself. He got the best out of himself - and won!
The looping is soooo amazing but let's forget about that for a second. THIS MAN'S VOICE BRUH. His voice is so awesome, everytime the beat drops, his voice comes on so suddenly, I get goosebumps. Look at me jumping on my bed like wth. I'm obsessed with everything he does🔥🔥🔥
Sam is fantastic. I don’t understand the controversy. Yes he looped parts but he used his voice to create the parts instead of using an instrument. If people can use instruments why can’t he use his voice and loop it to make the music? Since he was using his voice for the looping parts, I don’t have a problem with it. Plus he was singing with the sounds he created. I would pay to see him perform live! Awesome.
I hope everyone caught the "SING IT AP" during the battle because thats how you knew it was more of a collab that a battle 😁😁. IT WAS TOO FUCKING GOOD!!!
WOW! Kelly did an amazing job with Sam. She encouraged him to be himself and defended him amongst all the chaos. Sam has such a beautiful voice and an amazing talent. Way to go Sam 🎉 I hope all of your dreams come true ❤ What a gem.
@@fybromon1409 yeah I thought the same. They actually really enjoyed that collaboration. You could tell and Sam was lifting him up, it was like a concert not even a competition. Amazing
boy george said whoever sam chose as a coach would be the winner, but that was bullshit cause sam needed someone who let him do him and be him. no one could do it like kelly: she is THE coach, and sam's performances are absolutetly stunning as they are. he grew to be more like himself, which is something i can't explain man... just watch the journey, it speaks for itself. so shout out to both of them!! what an amazing team
He’s a genius, you know grimes is a looping artist too and I can’t tell you how crazy it is to see someone sing and mix live. Sam has an amazing voice I hope he goes far in life, there is a huge market for it. I loved all his remixes.
Yes she was so supportive and took him very serious. I wanted from the start for him to pick her. George seemed underwhelmed. Delta was very excited about the novelty but I just got the feeling Kelly would be a special fit for him as a coach.
That bohemian rhapsody gave me chills. I knew exactly what song it was when he said no looper would attempt this song. I was nervous he wouldn't pull it off, but he brought new life into it. What an amazing talent this guy has. 👏👏👏
Does anyone acknowledge Kelly's part in his victory. She is such a great mentor. I bet if it was George or Delta he wouldn't make it through. Her song picks were spot on
Sam was and still is one of the best artists of the Voice worldwide. Each week was highly entertaining, unique, artistic and amazing. Great job Sam and Kelly.
That 'Sympathy for the Devil' battle was in my book not a battle, it was really a great performance done by two great performance artists, both way out of their comfort zone. Everybody would have paid to go to a concert with these two great musicians. Sam demonstrated that when you raise someone else you raise yourself. In the performance with Kelly she really gave it her all, what a performance artist. I actually find him best when he is together with someone else. He would have a fantastic future if he paired up with another super gifted artist
I know this is re-release but this one journey is worth watching over and over. I love the way he feels his way through the music and what comes out at the end.
So entertaining. As a musician, I'm not wowed easily any more these days, but every single song delivered. And that flawless timing from Sam was off the charts.
I keep re-watching the Sam vs AP moment - it’s SO good. Sam loves having AP on stage w/him & he’s having so much fun it is intoxicating. At the breakdown you see how much work Sam does to speed up the song & it’s mind blowing. AP has issues hearing himself - but Sam reassures him the entire time. This is the most wholesome, badass- video from the Voice, let’s be honest. 🤷♀️
Watched this 5 or 6 times throughout one day. The blind audition gave me the chills. Dude is badass. Skilled, creative, versatile, & has a great voice as well. Wish he was signed to a record label so I could get more of his music and/or listen to him on Pandora.
This was more like watching them teach each other and collab rather than just her coaching. Kelly is the absolute best and clearly so talented!!!! And them together was dynamic. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
After ALL this time Sam Perry is STILL the BEST looping artist ever, on any Voice competition. He can loop and sing...the other loopers can't sing but Sam's voice is like an angel's voice and the gift he has of looping just enhances it. 🔥 This is especially true in light of him having a serious infection and chest sickness during the last half of the competition...singing most of his songs sick....just wow.
This is amazing. He is soooo talented. That song from nirvana. That was the one for me. Opera and all.. and then the STOP at the end.. wow. The way he was growing in that contest... so fast, so good...and his voice. Thay boy can sing!And he has to combine it all, push those buttons, think and sing at the same time. Now THAT is an artist. For me, he deserved to win that show.
Imagine making songs like this, he is composing, performing, mixing and producing at the same time. To do what he does takes great skill, talent and an amazing reach and control over his voice. He has a great future in front of him, thanks to Kelly who pushed him even further, taking him out of his comfortzone. If another great mind believes in you, and pushes you, the sky is the limit, dare to be yourself. Kelly knocked it out of the park, as did Sam. Respect. Can't even choose his best performance
You really need to check out a guy called Beardyman. This guy is clearly talented but he's just the first to do it on such a large platform. I also recommend watching Beardyman and Harry Mack (improvised rap), where they both put on a show that's completely unwritten.
it irritates me that this was even controversial. Sam not only uses his voice to sing, he composes the song from the foundation up. He has to harmonise and fine tune an arrangement and his knowledge shows such in the behind the scenes clip for sympathies with the devil when the other contestant is confused whilst Sam is working out his song construction. I love that Kelly coached and encouraged his journey because she gave him challenge which displayed his abilities. its simply beautiful to watch
I think making in controversial benefits him. He already can deliver the hits. Giving him a story line only makes him more popular, and gets more votes
I would love to AP and Sam continue to collaborate! They were so amazing together. Been watching these shows, globally, since the very first American Idol and this battle (AP v Sam) is my number one of all time!
As much as I love George, he realized his singers were in trouble with Sam there. So he tried to throw shadow on him and possibly eliminate the threat.
OR… what he said was what Sam needed. That comment changed everything inside Sam’s heart - it gave him (and Kelly) a new drive to ‘prove wrong’ …. & he won.
Smells like teen spirit was INSANE!! He is so raw and creative it’s actually unbelievable and gives me so many chills. Absolutely amazing performer and singer ✨🔥😩
The right choice. He is a superstar. Literally like they said, he was a game changer because everything is his own voice. Like he said he is every part. He has an incredible range on top of being able to beatbox and make instrument noises with his own vocal chords. Incredible talented and showstopping.
Kelly is by far my favourite and best judge ever...she gives you the space to do you so you feel comfortable and confident enough to push through and takes you to another level...what again will you expect a judge to give...I love her💯❤️🤍🏆
Absolutely phenomenal cutting-edge future of music. He’s genius being able to assess exactly what needs to be arranged, and a great voice in the bargain. Bravissimo 👍🏻
So interesting watching Sam’s talent evolve. He’s an incredibly creative performance artist. So fortunate to have technology to watch from the other side of the planet.
The guy is amazing, no doubts. But the real magician here is Kelly. This is the perfect example of an amazing escalating trip right to the top, based on talent, maturity and the amazing class Kelly proved to have! Hats off!
