John Rafferty performs 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' | The Voice UK - BBC 

They were enjoying it so much they forgot to push the buttons.

He has the voice for country.

It's probably his voice isn't overproduced, like many modern singers' voices are today. He's singing from the heart.

MERLINNNN NOOOO Forever be missed!

What more could this man had done to get one to push the button? Pleasant voice, hit all the notes, sung flawlessly.

Dude deserves props just for singing it in the original key. I have no idea why so many different covers all use a different key from John Denver.

49% Come from Fallout 49% Come from Merlin Kingsman (:c) 2% Normal :D

These judges are deaf, that was BEAUTIFUL! If he sang over here, there would be a quick succession of button pressing. You sing that song, you’ve united the United States for three minutes longer than most politicians.

One of the best songs ever written. Great tribute.

wow his voice is amazing surprised none of them pushed their buttons

ARE THEY SMOKING POT They’re not pushing the button

WV born and raised, over 30 years, and this song never gets old. I’m proud to see so many wonderful covers of this beautiful song about my home, by so many people from far and wide. I hope the people who enjoy this song can visit the wild & wonderful WV :)

If this was in murica, buttons would have been pushed af

I'm a West Virginia native and resident and this song is like the unofficial state anthem! I often forget how famous this song is, but seeing the Brit and Aussie judges sing along really made me happy, because WV is such a beautiful place, our motto is 'Wild and Wonderful' for a reason. But common ground aside, it is such a masterfully simple and exquisite expression of love and nostalgic longing for home, that it doesn't matter where you're from- this song just hits something inside. I had a teacher who served in Vietnam, and he said that this song was on a jukebox in the canteen, and whenever it played the boys would all go quiet.

Italian here, "forced" by necessities to live outside his region and missing his hometown nearly everyday. This song is a masterpiece and has nothing to do only with West Virginia itself, it's a state of mind. It manages to capture the essence of nostalgia and it makes you feel less alone in the world. Mr. Denver was really a poet and this lad did a wonderful job at delivering by singing. Still surprised none of the judges pressed their button.

John Denver would be proud

WTF he was excellent

Frustrated that no buttons were pushed. I got literal chills from how good this was

Its okay guys dudes got his own album now.

wtf poor guy, the judges so unfair with him

How can you smile, dance and sing along with him but not press the button

This man was living in 2080. Damn what a trooper for giving us that fallout 76 leak

JOHN YOU WERE FANTASTIC! SUCH A PURE VOICE - YOU CAN SING ANYTHING - JUDGES MISSED OUT NOT CHOOSING YOU BUT THIS IS HOW THESE PROGRAMS GO. KEEP AT IT FELLA - YOU'RE ALMOST THERE !!! LOVELY GUY AND DID BELFAST PROUD. XXX

This dude doesn't know what he's doing, everyone knows you have to have a traumatic past to win this thing

Ok,I'm gonna sound really rude right now> For a Brit to sing a Southern country anthem, he did REALLY FUCKIN' GREAT !!!!!!! Not a trace of an English accent. love it !!!!!

I've been listening to covers of this song for 45mins and this is still my favorite (along with Russel Moore and Illrd Tyme Out). Finally someone brings power to this song, well done!

As a West Virginian man you killed it. You're amazing John Denver would be proud

WTF he nailed that song why didn't anyone turn? wow..

In the vault 76 Future begins

BEST SONG EVER. Is it just me, or does American want our country to be what John Denver imagined it would be? An honest, pure and beautiful country it once was for a brief spell? I do believe it that is what America wants and needs. Now more then ever.

after listening to that song I couldn't help but write a little message, a very talented man with an incredible voice, God bless

As a native of Charleston, WV now living in Perth, Australia --- Take Me Home Country Roads

There's a certain calmness in his voice that makes this song so much more beautiful... that magical touch indeed!

I was not expecting him to sound like that. Awesome voice.

why didnt they push the button, he sang it really really good

Poor guy he can really sing😞

i cant believe nobody pushed the button ..

That was so beautiful. It made me cry. He has the voice of a Country Angel.

Man! How could they haven't pressed the button? This guy had a MEMORABLE performance!

This guy's voice is amazing he did a great job singing a classic I enjoyed his performance of Take Me Home Country Roads

what a great voice he was born to sing this version of john denvers hit. I hope some one gives him the chance to make a single of this great song and go on to have a great career.

He may have lost, but he won our hearts

This is such a great song,I dont understand how people dont like it .

This is the first song I ever heard as a child. It was 2003 and I loved the song then. I'm now 20 and still appreciate it

as a west virginian myself, he did an AMAZING job, john denver would of been impressed, these judges did him wrong.

I admit i first heard this song in kingsman

This boy sings with his heart & soul. Great...... !!!

He has a very calm soothing voice, with that warm tavern keeper greeting,

That man is very talented! He deserves to be on The Voice!

I wonder if any of these people know where West Virginia is

*🇧🇷se fosse no Brasil todos teriam virado, o cara mandou muito bem🙌🙌👏👏*

Thank u guys for supporting my state where I live!

You go John Rafferty !!! John Denver would be proud !!!!!

Probably the only country song that has so much universal appeal.

I thought he was awesome! Don't give up buddy, I love your interpretation of this beautiful song!

im here bc of Kingsman 2.

Is it wrong that I'm not an American but this song brings me to tears?! Every single time.. Damn it.

Unacceptable. That was a beautiful performance and so was his voice. Hope he gets somewhere far with his singing and is successful.

He was so good why didn't they push?

A lot of comments saying that since this was the UK, the people don't know the song. John Denver himself stated that this song was meant to be for everyone. You can replace parts of it to fit where you come from. At least one of them should have known that...

WV born and raised right here.

This gives me chills, he has an incredible voice, how can they not hit the button?

I'm a Filipino author and I never missed to write in my curriculum vitae that John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" is the foremost song that inspires me everyday.

Mate, you are a great singer, I have no idea why the judges didn't turn unlucky, well done and carry on singing :D

Fallout main character

Why didn't anyone push the button?? This is beautiful! If in Greece they wouldn't this man go like this...

Great job. You have a nice voice. Go on singing in this way. Congratulations.

This was a great cover. He has an amazing voice for this song

I love how cocky the judges are They think they're so good

WV born and raised

As a West Virginia coal miner we sang this song every time we go underground he no John Denver but is good

This song makes me cry. I was 15 when for the first time I listened back in my country El Salvador. Good memories.

I love my West Virginia…Wild and Wonderful

His voice is incredible!😱

as a person who lives in the mighty WV funny how everyone around the world loves this song. Wild wonderful west virginia!

FUCKEN HELL THEY DIDENT PUSH THE BUTTION THEY JUST MISSED A LIFE TIME CHANGE TO GET THAT SUPER AWESOME VOICE OF ANGELS!!

Morgan freeman press the damn button.

Was living for a while in Nebraska... Good simple. Hardworking corn huskers... I love country song

R.I.P MERLIN WE WILL REMEMBER YOU BY HEARING AND SINGING THIS SONG.

I really like his voice :) its calming and pleasant to listen to

I like the song. He's good enough to perform around the campfire, making it a really good day for anyone around. It's not enough to be decent when it's exellence you're looking for.

I'm tired of these judges wanting these pop singers

Damn, how unfair. The guy had a great voice and sung flawlessly. What else could he have done really?

beautiful, without words to describe the beauty of this interpretation

He sang this song perfect. Was surprised no one pushed the button

Amazing john well done

Would bring John Denver to tears

that was bullshit. He had an amazing voice.

30% comes from Merlin 30% comes from Fallout 30% came from RT 5% recommended 5% friend told them

1:14 and so on was just perfection..

Merlin 😭 *The reason why I love this song* (R.I.P Merlin)

i guess they dont like john denver, i dont think it could have been sung any better

Was für eine Stimme, wow einfach klasse großes Kino ❤️

Bro you are the country king mate No mater who else says anithing..

Dude can sing, fuck all the rest

One of the best

such a great voice

Fallout 76 anyone?

The judges didn't push the button because he didn't sing John's country road, he made his own country roads that's a no no.

I was going through youtube. Im so proud to be a West Virginia native.
