yeah but it all comes down to what he can bring to the table for her. The other speech was pretty convincing...He's gonna train her to sing other varieties of songs which she know would be her weakness.
She did what girls always do. She ditched the guy who loved and adored her on the first sight and would have done everything he could to help her succeed....and... she picked the guy who she thought to be the most beneficial and useful to her, but she payed the price, because she was used by that calculating unfeeling guy instead. Happens all the time... The only one to feel sorry for in this short story is Ricky.
anis agel i know! It is one of my favorite auditions♡ I didnt get to watch the show but i found d out the she didnt get to far on it and thats sad...I still think she should have choosen Ricky
+Nastia179 he really was!! xDD poor dude, he was the only one who turned around then there goes will.i.am, and the girl picked will.i.am instead of him... XDD i really felt bad but his reaction was awesome in a weird way LOL
So Ricky turns around in the first 15 seconds and is completely captivated the entire song,but she chose Will who turned around literally in the last 1/2 second.....goddammit.
+alex farmer If you were her, it's not who turned around first. It's who you think will help you win. From what I heard, Ricky just wanted her because he probably felt she would make his team win. Will.I.Am wanted to coach her into doing something she's never done before, leave her comfort zone -- progress. Maybe even discover a part of herself she's never seen before and be even better!
….7 years later and I’ve never seen a more horrific betrayal. My heart still hurts for Ricky. He was so incredibly passionate about her talent and looked like he was ready to kill a man but nooooooo Will just HAD to wake up and choose CHAOS that day 😭
You're completely right. Will only turned around to mess with Ricky. Ricky gives a look of contempt to Will at 3:03. I think that is what made Will want to turn around. I think he was surprised when she chose him. You can see it on his face. I definitely don't think he wanted her on his team.
oh for sure!@@fragilechords5118 you can later literally see by Will's choices of songs that he didn't knw what to do with her in his team. it's a tragedy
This is the greatest, most tense, hilarious storyline ever told in an audition. The camerawork keeps panning perfectly, showing Ricky and Anna in one shot, Will waking up in another. Will dressed in all black, constantly staring across at Ricky, who is breathless at Anna, feels the stare and checks back questionably at Will. Will ponders until the last minute, grins, ignoring Ricky's gesture to stop, and Ricky looks gutted. It's love for Ricky and a game to Will. And then Anna chooses Will at the end...it's perfect.
I did it no justice and my writing is horrible but here ya go (and its super short) Ricky lets out a soft sigh, waiting a little impatiently for the next audition to begin. The moment their smooth voice filled the large room he finds himself shocked into a trance, pressing the button without a second thought. He stares in shock for a moment, his eyes portraying amazement and fondness. Completely blocking everything out, he focused solely on her.Will watches as the judge falls further into his trance, a small smirk lying on his face. Ricky looks at will for a half of a second before returning his gaze to the angelic girl. Just before her audition winds to an end, will puts his hand over his button. Rickey puts his hand up in a feeble attempt to stop him before he presses the button. The girl gives a small, slightly nervous smile before introducing herself "Hello. Hi, My name is Anna mcluckie and i'm from [didn't hear it]"Ricky repeats her name silently, smiling faintly. He blocks out the other judges reasons for not turning, or turning in wills case, watching Anna with the same fondness from earlier in his eyes. Before he knew it, Anna was looking between him and will. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Ricky with a soft smile "I'm going o have to go with...will" she says, turning to said man. Ricky felt his heart drop as will feigned surprise, getting up to hug her. He got up numbly to get a hug himself, only snapping out of it when will hugs him and whispers almost cynically into his ear "well, it looks like i won. she'll be fun~"
From her intro, you can tell she wanted to _learn_ and Will is the one that said he’s teach her about all these other styles, and that’s the kind of expansion she wanted. Ricky was so love-struck his pitch was just “y-you are already perfect.. I-I- I think you could do anything” which is really sweet and could be better for commitment and dedication, but I understand why she chose who she did. Wasn’t the right choice in retrospect, but I think she felt panicked.
True. It's too bad all her unique qualities and style immediately get thrown in the bin after he audition. They always do that on this show, and just turn every girl into a generic, cookie-cutter fake "pop star" wannabe and ignore everything great and unique about them.
Luckily she's still kept her gypsy nymph style/uniqueness after the voice. She's doing well for herself, has played a few festivals and Sofar gigs. Making a small living doing what she loves I think. I saw her at Barfly in London some months back and she's still awesome with her band - And still that unique flair.
I've come back to this video numerous times now, because i love the rendition of the song. Every time i come back i wonder what would have been if she had just chosen Ricky. He obviously really realized what her particular kind of singing talent would have been truly amazing for and i can't help but wonder what we would have seen from her.
I completely agree with you. I don't think Will was truly interested in her and really had no idea what to do with her. He just turned around to mess with Ricky.
Loved the emotions through Ricky’s eyes. His connection was like one of those we see on the big screen. The hand gesture, to stop the other judges. Such a climax!
It's incredible - watching these now, but yes! I notice William uses the same method as Adam (in the US); act like you don't want them on your team so they immediately want the one judge who "doesn't seem interested".
My brother in laws friend tried to audition but quit because they literally tell you who you have to pick and which songs you can sing (they give you a list)
I’ve genuinely just stumbled across this and had it on repeat 10 times in a row. Never has a song / artist captivate me that much. What a beautiful voice
I came here from ballet videos and thought I'd get a well sung melody and that's it. I got to hear a wonderful voice and witness a sad short love story, get heartbroken and devastated. And I feel like I've entered a select fandom for these two.
It happens! I sung "Black Velvet" at karaoke on a cruise ship. All of my friends saw a guy who was looking at me the same way Ricky was looking at her. That was 6 months ago and I am now engaged to him. He's the best thing to ever happen to me :)
It's 2021 now, and I still watch this and every time I watch it my heart gets broken 💔 If someone asks u what is love at first sight, show them this video...♥️
Well, the original one is much more rhythmic, to make people dance to. But she turned it into a pretty nice music, kinda like celtic or classical, with those smooth and intense notes. Very sweet!
Maybe cause either Kayle or Sir Tom didn't have any idea on how to develop this girl, and that was the hint to don't turn around. When I first saw this audition, I was thinking that Will was going to be the only one cause he knows how to do rhythms and was the most near to Enya (If you know Enya, there's NO WAY you can think this voice is not like hers), and out of the four was the only one that could coach this Angelic Enya voice like. And the fact that she can play the Harp so nicely, add a big plus to her nature voice.
No he just turned around in spite cos Ricky wanted her on his team so bad. Will had no interest in helping this girl as is evident when he dumped her during the battles. He's a shithead to the last.
The best part I think is when Ricky gives Will the " so help me if you touch that buzzer I will cut you." glare. He was NOT happy about the competition.
So many people say she made the wrong choice, but think about it like this: Ricky would make her a better singer, while Will would make her a more famous one. Will is not a good singer, but you have to admit he has a talent in song writing and getting on the top of the charts with the songs. That is is art and his craft. I'd say anyone that goes with Will knows/should know that they are going with him to be famous rather than better at singing.
She was never going pick Ricky. If you guys watch closely her eyes from start to finish was locked on Will.I.am. Like her family said she wanted Will first but Ricky gave her a 2nd option if Will didn't turn but because Will did turn she went with her first choice. You guys need to get together Ricky never ever stood a chance
Seriously, watching the judges (except her) from 01:30 to 03:50, this is the best we can get out of The Voice in every country ever, regarding terms of "FEELING music". (whether it's the cutting or the real thing, I don't care, this is gold)
Ricky just fell in love w her from the very first second she started to sing. I love the way he stared at her the whole time. It was like he would start to cry. He admired her so very much. Actually his passion for this girl, his reaction was what touched me so very much and not the song. And I envy her for that cause I wish there was someone who also had that much passion for me.
If you pick apart the reactions, this video is just hilarious. Ricky just looks like he's heartfelt falling in love all through. 2:02 Tom Jones with that indulgent, 'ah, youthful passion' 2:07 Will.I.Am sees the possibility of a challenge 2:12 Ricky names the first kid. 2:24 Will has accepted the challenge. 2:36 Ricky's decided he doesn't care if the mother-in-law's living with them and Tom Jones decides he's got a good one and approves. 2:42 - through the end Will decides he's going to give him hope and then cruelly snatch it away again. 3:34 Will almost considers showing mercy 3:41-3 plays with him and takes it. 4:56 Make it hurt for effect drive the sword 5:04 last look last hope 5:14 Rat bastard 5:31 Pain can't take it 5:51 Oh God I just said hi I said hi I actually just did that I couldn't think of anything better hi
That was...amazing. The voice is one of the best from just an audio, and the harp skill only added to her preformance. Simply an amazing vocalist. Ricky didn't have a chance. Spellbound instantly.
3:28 -3:44 It's hilarious how Will seemed to be playing Ricky. He was just bidding his time,Letting Ricky fall into a false sense of security & at the very last note, _BAM_ . See that smug smile at the end too. XD
girl I know this is your choice but YOU how could you it was a wrong choice for me he was so interested in your song in your voice his heart was broken he was speechless but that other.. I hate him
i would have chosen Ricky in a heartbeat. he clearly fell in love wit her voice the second he heard her when will waited til last minute just to kill the moment. on a previous comment i read... its sad but true. ppl forget y they play. its not for the fame but for the love of the music. ricky has t hands down. ❤
