I agree that dude can flat lay down some serious licks, but ow bout the whole band? Jolan should take them on tour with him. Seriously though, that young man was a superstar when he walked on that stage. Can't wait to buy his music.
He looks like Daniel Merriweather, He sounds like Terence Trent D'Arby, he is one of a kind, he is out of this world, he is a blessing to my ears and to anyone on earth to witness on stage every single week..He killed it , slayed it, tore into million of little flyin pieces and let it REST..IN..PEACE...FOREVER... Here is Your WINNER of The Voicer UK S5... J O L A N.
+Jerome Lange I think it was the best performance of the series :) Simply outstanding. I felt like I was watching someone in concert, and what a honour it would be to see Jolan in concert. WOW, WOW, WOW!! Definitely my favourite to win. Hope he records this track on his first CD ~ the internet will surely crash due to the excessively high volume in online orders, and all the shops will be out of stock within minutes of opening... well, I can but hope!
How many more times can I watch Jolan's knock out performance, there is no limit, I'll watch it until the end of time. I love Jolan's voice with a passion. Phenomenal performance, no one sings it better ever! Thank you Jolan 💜💜💜
I'm watching and listening to this May 2024. I gotta say that not many musicians will take on this classic and iconic song. Jolan pretty much nails it right to the wall. I was lucky and saw Prince and the Revolution when they were on their Purple Rain tour. It was literally non-stop the whole concert. I would have loved seeing Jolan do just about anything to be honest. DAMN SON...
One of the best performances of the evening! So happy that he listened to all our comments asking for Purple Rain. It was just brilliant! I hope to see him in the finals, my vote is there :D
+Lilly C He was best of the night! High praise since there were few best performances tonight for few of the contestants, but for JOLAN was top of the tree.
Jolan is so much more than an incredible voice, his performances have me transfixed! He has got that something that you just can't explain or put into words. Every performance he gives touches me and gives me goosebumps! Whatever happens on this show, Jolan is my winner!
Really? Have you seen Dami Im's version of Purple Rain on X Factor Australia... the video is called "JUDGES GONE WILD! Goosebumps Performance by Dami Im" - check it out.
The performance was the first time I had ever heard a full prince song (I'm quite young, in my teens) but it opened a door for me to explore his other amazing songs in the last few weeks of his life. Thanks Jolan. And RIP Prince, even though I only really fully knew you for a short time.
This performance made me forget this was a tv show. Just wow. I felt like I was watching Jolan perform at his own concert, he was so in his element and I really felt the emotion and skill of his voice! Wow wow wow
Vocals on point Jolan has everything in his locker he has a way of connecting with a song and turning it in to own with his beautiful style he is a worldwide superstar waiting to happen
One of my favourite songs of all time and I always panic when it's being covered, even when it's by someone I really rate as a singer. I needn't have worried, it was simply stunning and sparked the same emotional reaction as the original. You are amazing, well done.
This performance rekindled my love for prince and after today's pain... losing such an icon... it's made me so happy that this brought me back to an icon like prince. RIP
He SLAYS !! I'm a big fan of the Voice/ X factor worldwide, and have seen a lot of performers doing this song...but damn... this is one of the best I've seen ^^ both voice and atmosphere are incredible
Every now and again , a singer will be born, this guy Jolan is that person in 2016, "Please Please" pick up your phones and vote for Jolan, he has the potential to be a big star in the future. !!!Amazing!!!
Cody's audition was phenomenonal, and was definitely one of the best performances The Voice has ever seen, but I feel like she's plateauing and not progressing at all. She has an amazing voice and a lot of potential, but this performance was (in my humble opinion) way better.
I agree with Cody plateauing. Asgood and as unique as she is, she has not offered anything new since the battle round. Jolan on the other hand has continuously progressed throughout the series.
+fiveohfivethree I think technically they are on a par, but Jolan's voice is so different to any other I've heard and I connect with him instantly. Kevin, however good he is, just leaves me cold.
Man I love this boy...have done from day one and hopefully now people can see why. That was some performance. Wishing Well and Yes are still my two favourites though with this one being the icing on the cake.
+fiveohfivethree Totally agree with you. This boy is special and I can't wait to go and see him perform. Loved the Yes performance too - didn't know the song before, but I sure do love it now.
+Joanne Greaves That's the great thing about this show, it reminds us of songs we've somehow forgotten over the years or introduces a whole new audience to them.
I actually screamed last night when he went through He deserves it so much Such a raw and emotional performance that was truly flawless There is no doubt that he deserves to win He has talent far better than lydia, cody or Kevin.
Amazing, amazing, AMAZING! I honestly think this is the best version of this song I've ever heard! I've watched it countless times. Love him! I really hope he wins
