Well done Kim! You absolutely commanded the stage and deserved the win here. Singeres who stand on the 'X' on the stage are 10 a penny. Now that the 'blind' part of this show is over, you are doing exactly whats required i.e. performing voice, body, soul, emotion, the whole package!
Thank you simon and can't wait to see you on the voice next year you better go for it your so good :-) sing tears I'n heaven that's my fab from your recordings :) I'l be cheering you on next year x
Kim Hayden! Theres a name thats going to be very well known in a few years! Fantastic battle,Incredible voice!The only was is up for her! Roll on her FINAL!!!
The thing about this battle round is that you have to be more open and seem approachable. As an artist you have to connect with the audience. That is one of keys to become successful
I have to repeat, Kim was consistenly stronger throught the 'battle' but there was very little in it. Kim deserved the win this time. She has the voice, the look, the whole package. She owned the stage!
@kimpossiblehayden I'm addicted to watching this now!!Every day I play it :):) So proud of ya Kim!! Ailbhe is an amazing singer too but you got through and we are all delighted for you!! Roll on the live shows!Cant wait to hear what you decide to sing XxX
Terrific performance! I thought it was a great duet, and your voices played very well with each other. I honestly think the song was a better fit for Ailbhe voice than for Kim, and that's the nature of music - our voices fit better with some styles more than others. That isn't to say Kim's performance was bad. On the contrary, great job Kim! I thought you had a great voice as well, and can see a bright future for you, too, singing! Again, terrific job, both of you!
Thanks for all the feedback :-) The Voice blogger qouted me as the dark horse of the show I like that I have not done my best yet so wel see my audition wasn't my best a that battle wasn't do bring on the lives wahayyyy Thank you all :)
It was a very close battle but as someone else said here Kim was consistently stronger throughout the song. Started strong and finished strong. The better singer definitely won this battle.
Was just wondering why do the judges have someone sitting besides them helping them to pick ? I watch versions Australia,Uk and USA voice and they dont have anyone else sitting next to them in thebattle stage
What a deadly battle but i think Kim had the edge on Ailbhe and if people vote for her in the live shows Sharon will win with Kim Hayden stunning vocals!!!!!!!!
Seen it several time & I am still convinced the right girl won. Ailbhe was brilliant but Kim stayed consistent throughout, and was clearly the better voice when they sing together at 1:28.
im no judge, but tbh i think they are both damn good. Great song, great singers...perfect! How nice if both of then gets through but too bad only one,... :(
@kimpossiblehayden oh doubt I'll be good enough for it Hun but thanks, so excited to see u on it and gonna be watching every week cheering u on, your already a star and your gonna go on to amazing things xxx
@TheSimonsweeney Thanks Simon I agree ! I no not all with the decision and it's the same with all of the battles but ther is no need to start picking on what people look like ! :) people are so brave behind ther keypads :) x
@Evegeddie They're not singing together at 1.28. Thats Kims lead. Ailbhe is giving a harmony so has to sing in lower register. Skip to 2.00 and thats Ailbhes lead but they don't do harmony there. They only sing together at 2.15. Thats how duets work. Just to correct you...not giving out.Just make sure you know what your talking about. Both did a great job with a hard song. Well done Ailbhe and Kim. Try and ignore negativity and enjoy your great achievements.
@Melstermel she wasn't 'connecting' with the audience. She was just standing there while Kim was moving around. You have to connect through movements not just stand in the corner. Connecting with your audience is key. If she would've she would be far ahead of Kim.
@TheSimonsweeney Ah well don't no about the superstar thing lol I'm just so chuffed to be I'n the last 24 I'n the country so mad ! And I'l be supporting you next year when your on it :-)
@davehowardo you don't have to agree. You think Kim had 'superior tone and emotion' and that's your opinion, not mine and clearly not the opinion of everyone as can be seen from these comments. Its called the voice isn't that what is supposed to make it different from every other talent show? she got through and well done to her but clearly some people think it was the wrong choice. I think you'll find there are plenty of unbiased opinions out here that agree with both myself and Galwayinlondon.
@davehowardo if jumping around the stage makes it show that you want it more, then I think you might be getting this show mixed up with something else. its called "The Voice"!!!
@U2Records Thank you still have had the right song but I'm taken everything on board and putting it I'n to my next live show :) lastnights was the wrong song and I was truly nervous but the next one will be the right one I assure you :)
@TheBlackcurrentJam - Its called losing yourself in the song, it's a song full of energy! When Pink sings that song live to you think she just stands there, both of the girls got stuck into it!! Get a grip
@TheSimonsweeney Of course you are if you believe I'n yourself and have a good attitude so that will stand to you :-) I can't wait till the lives Now only 2 weeks away now I was sick during the battle dying with a head cold I have not shown mybest yet so I can't wait to do so on the 11th march ! Or a will young song for you would b fab :) x
personally,I don't know what sharon was thinking. Ailbhe clearly won this battle. Kims breathing was terrible, Maybe because she was leaping about the stage so much. I this was about "The Voice". It just seemed like she had all this energy and didnt know what to do with it. If you watch pink singing that song she just stands there and puts pure passion into it. ( Like Ailbhe Did!) Well done to all, and its a great showcase of talent.But the judges have gotten it seriously wrong at some points!
Well the proof was in the puddin Kim made it to the last 8 which is not too shabby Ailbhe should go back this year and see if she gets as far !!!! We"l c ?Ailbhe has a great voice but no appeal or as Simon cowell would say the same energy as a banana "boring " ! Well done Kim on getting to the semi final and I can't wait to hear ur EP !
There's no need to rude people ! Kim got thru fair and square ! Sharon picked her for a reason, can people not let her have her time and stop picking on little things that are irrelevant! Good luck Kim x
Why was my comment removed?? Here's what I said "Ailbhe was the better singer in my opinion.I thought she hit some huge notes. But I'm biased because I'm her brother.I'm sure Kim's friends are biased towards her. At the end of the day both girls did really well and everyone is really proud. Shame people have to abuse on RU-vid & Facebook. To do what they have done is remarkable and the people commenting here could only dream of doing it. Music is not just a gift. It takes years of hard work
@joannalyndseynolan Hi there, your not going to please everyone at the end of the day, Someone had to leave and it doesnt matter who thinks it the wrong choice,Kim got through so people should be congratulating her and saying well done to Ailbhe instead of causing arguments and saying that it was WRONG!
did u see the alibhe face after singing...she is clear that she is going to win but after sharon said the result..alibhe face gone so disappointed....sharon did not judge well this one... alibhe is the best....
I dont know why people are saying Ailbhe should have gone through!! Kim was the better singer, and that was proven by Sharon's decision! Stop being so negative and get behind this up and coming talent from Ireland!!
I have listened to this over and over again... Trying to figure out why Sharon picked Kim over Ailbhe.. She started off shaky in the begining but she really grew into and got better .. Is it me or does Ailbhe look a lot like Kelly Clarkson... Ailbhe should have won....
it was obviously a hard decision for Sharon but i think she's really missing out on having Ailbhe in her group. If she thought so highly of both singers, why pair them up knowing she could only take one through??? The show is flawed in this way and as a result, Ailbhe was robbed. but bigger and better things are ahead for her!
Yes Joe. And easy to see you have nothing better for doing but Stalking what I comment on. Maybe you should subscribe to me, then at least you would get the updates! :) And I persume you mean "Put Up" if you are going to try be brave behind your keyboard - at least type it correct. Have a good day! :)
@NicolaLouise07 Your right, it doesn't matter, It wont change anything. I also said well done to Kim, but it won't change my view. Guess that's the thing with free speech, ya won't always like it!
