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.

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

WTF he was excellent

One of the best songs ever written. Great tribute.

John Denver would be proud

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

ARE THEY SMOKING POT They’re not pushing the button

Its okay guys dudes got his own album now.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

He may have lost, but he won our hearts

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

In the vault 76 Future begins

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

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

I admit i first heard this song in kingsman

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 !!!!!

WV born and raised right here.

Poor guy he can really sing😞

Thank u guys for supporting my state where I live!

wtf poor guy, the judges so unfair with him

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

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

i cant believe nobody pushed the button ..

His voice is incredible!😱

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

WV born and raised

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

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

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

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

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.

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

What a lovely version of this song 🎉🎉🎉

That was a great performance how did they not click the button

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

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

cojonudo,una voz realmente buena, esto es country, me molan estos programas que no miran el fisico, solo la voz, que a fin de cuentas, es lo que importa a la hora de ser cantante y no salir al escenario con el autotune que asi cantamos todos

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

Was für eine Stimme, wow einfach klasse großes Kino ❤️

I want a cover where you hear the emotion into it

I'm tired of these judges wanting these pop singers

This is where my heart will always be.. the hills of west virginia

I'm Not From USA I'm From Srilanka. I Love this Song So Much!!!
