Kate is more in control of her voice, and there's no questioning that her voice is flawless, BUT she didn't connect to the song, I feel. I didn't hear the pain in her voice like I did with Jessica. Plus, performance wise, Kate was stiff. Almost all the time she was looking at the judges like she was reciting a poem. Jessica LOOKED like she was singing the song to her partner. When you've got two great artists, those things matter.
Probably my favourite battle since the Voice Of Ireland began. Kate would sooooooo have been robbed this series............. She should try for the Voice again, so unlucky not to have gone through to the live shows.
@teddlespaw Your daughter Kate did a wonderful job! Jessica sang with great emotion, but I am gutted that I won't be hearing more from Kate's voice.it's absolute bliss. MAGIC! pretty special and rare.
@teddlespaw she should have gotten through to the lives, both were AMAZING but I 'felt' it more from Kate!! Good Luck to what she achieves after the recognition she has gotten from this show, i hope she hits it big time!
Jessica made it to the Live final and received thousands of votes each week...the public have been incredibly supportive. Bressie has clearly said in all of his interviews that he stands by his decision..and at the end of the day there is only one winner (Pat Byrne in this case) . Both Kate and Jessica remain great friends to this day.. and there is no rivalry between them. They are both very different singers with different styles. The Voice has been a great platform for them both.
@PritzelPhotography i love jessicas voice she is brilliant have been listening to this and her audition along with nollaigs and im addicted!!cudnt figure out where i knew her from though i knew she looked familiar, then when i typed her name in youtube i saw take me out and was lik oh ya!! well done to jessica shes gonna go places
My immortal by Evanescence. Great song, so difficult to sing cause Amy Lee from Evanescence has one of the most intense and beatiful voice I've ever heard. Anyway, Kate was amazing here.
Jessica has a good voice and did okay, not a bad singer but nervous and you could hear it in her voice.... Kate was by far the more controlled singer. What a voice and should have gone through. Bressie clearly favoured Jessica before the sing off began, check out the look she gave him as the music started.... Where is Kate now, would love to hear more....
Jessica was so try-hard in this it's ridiculous, her voice and false emotion.. still laughing at a comment someone left a few months ago saying she was yodeling haha.. Kate's an AMAZING singer and should have went all the way. I know she'll find a big break somewhere!
What a beautiful performance! I've been a huge fan of this song for years, and when I heard they were doing their own rendition of it on the show I was excited, but also slightly apprehensive. They pulled it off amazingly well. Whenever I've seen this song be performed on reality tv before it has always been exactly the same as it was originally recorded, but this was so different and performed with such great emotion. Well done to the two of them! Gutted Kate won't be returning, what a talent.
The blonde one sings with double the emotion the burnette has. The burnette is like "hear me, I make cool things with my voice" and forgot to share any emotion whatsoever. She's kind of annoying.
Because there are more important things than her tone, In this situation, it's their potential. Unfortunately for her, Kate has already reached her max potential and there nothing Bressie could have done to improve her, and obviously she wasn't going to win at that level. Both of them were good, but Jessica had a better chance than Kate and so it was an easy choice.
There isn't a lot of hate here for Jessica? People are just saying which voice they prefer which is well within their right. I think you're undermining the audience by assuming they're jealous of Jessica's looks. Geography is the more prominent reason for Jessica's result on the show.
I think that from these battle stages a public vote should decide who goes through, because if this was the case I have no doubt that Kate would have got through - her brilliant voice and warm personality shone through. Kate don’t give up; want to see you there again next year!
@Robboshea why do they have to be fake accounts? If you look at any account thats posted on this vid it says date joined 2010 or before, don't downplay the reaction of the public by sayin they're fake just because they don't think what you think
@lorddrum comments like those that @CupidStunt and @tremainebloomnguyen1 comments were pointlessly negative about both girls anyway. Kate and Jessica know better than to listen to anything that's not constructive, I am sure.
Really? Wow, nothing personal but the brunette was all over the place...and her harmony was absolutely dreadful. Interesting. I guess they heard something in there..somewhere. ??
This was the only song Jessica performed well Kate advance alot more from audition than Jessica did Kate should have gone through think she would have grown each show.
in all fairness kate clearly is a better singer, so natural...effortlessly..as for your 1 jessica screaming and tryn 2 hard..and wats da story wit her ma..
I think to be fair to both girls on the night they both sang the song really well. For me Jessica came through as being a bit more experienced than Kate. Jessica should be nothing but proud of having made it into the finals of the VOICE OF IRELAND. Its one of the best shows that I have seen RTE put out in years. I also liked the way the two girls showed each other a lot of respect on the night by singing with each other rather than against each other. Best of luck to Jessica in the finals..
definitely the best performance on any talent show not only in ireland but everywhere!! they sound unreal together! kate had a lovely voice also but i do tink bressie made the right choice in choosing jessica here!! she was unreal and really gave me a new love for that song!! fair play to both girls tho!! incredible job!
Brillant performance from both girls. I don't know either of them .I hope this doesn't bash kates confidence it was a lottery. Either could have one of it. Both ladies should be so proud.
I might be a minority here but everytime Jessica's turn was over, and Kate started, i was like: "No, don't interrupt her! Shut up!" That's not to say that kate was bad, cause she wasn't en technically she was, perhaps, the better performer, but Jessica's voice just sucked me in en took me to another place where i just didn't want to leave. She was mesmerizing and therefore, for me, was the rightfull winner.
What makes a voice 'better' than another? For me, Jessica's voice was more captivating, making it the better performance. Don't care if she got voted out straight away. that doesn't make MY opinion less valid. And hitting all the right notes is one thing, but having an uniqueness to your sound is another. Clearly that's what Bressie was looking for and it paid off in the end.
@Jessica01274,@rathkeale27 Thank you for the name of the song .. I dont know how i didnt know that when i am a huge3 Evanescence fan.. So i appresicate your help in the name of the song...
As I live in the Uk I dont get to see the voice so have to rely on youtube!! Having gone through them all this was my favourite battle..I love both these girls and i never comment but i have to say Kate was better for me...And I agree she could do Adele style material!!
kate has a very clear beautifull voice , jessica has that unusual broken tone that seduces me. kate was an easy choice but the industry is full of clear beautiful voices , jessica will make a difference ! i would've gone for jessica too !
So proud of my daughter Jessica for making it through and so proud of both Kate and Jessica for pushing 'My Immortal' back into the Irish download charts on the popularity of their duet. Incredible achievement. Amy Lee would be proud. I hope negativity never effects either of their dreams for a successful career in the music industry. Two beautiful talented young women.
One word : E P I C ! I can't stop listening to this, it is pure CLASS ! Both girls are amazing singing. Have to say I prefer Kates voice, but fair play to Jessica....
So proud of my daughter Jessica for making through to final 6 on Team Bressie. What an incredible duet with the beautiful Kate.. so emotional. You should both be so proud girls. Fantastic show!!
