Beautiful voice. She didn’t show off. Ie scream out high notes. She respected the melody and the lyrics and delivered both with beauty. And THAT is what a good artist should do.
Because of singers like her, I really think we need sir Tom on the voice. Tom is the only one of the coaches who can make people like Sally even better.
+Keith Purdue Agreed, just watched this again and it bought tears to my eyes. .....she really touched Tom. Seen Sally live since and she really connects with the audience.
Yes, seen Sally a few times recently (playing with Vicki Genfan and Trad Arr) and she's also performing with Brooks Williams and Fotheringay this year.
And a nice person to boot. A pity te music industry won't recognise talent if it hasn't got feathers and bellsto identify their "talent." Sally really deserves a career in music. She is in my personal favourite contenders in The Voice world-wide.
Out of all of them I would want Tom to turn around. He was the only judge that had the experience and ear for great talent. and they bloody SACKED HIM! What were you thinking BBC? He was the only reason I watched it. I will never watch it again without Tom. Big mistake BBC.
They let him go because he did not turn around often enough and he was forced to turn for contestants he would not have chosen otherwise. This presumably lead to an uneasy situation where the decision was finally made to part ways. In that perspective it is quite understandable.
I don't share this kind of statement ever. It is very unusual for me to express an extreme statement as this but I think she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Period.
I have heard this song so many times, but never this hauntingly beautiful. So many people can sing & sound good but when this kind of emotion is added, it takes it to a higher level.
Love the camaraderie between the judges. Though they are in competition with each other on the Voice, and probably, each one is dying to press the, "I want you", button. They show utmost respect for Sir Tom's evident emotion while Sally sang, and let her go to his team. RESPECT for the Judges!
If you can make Tom Jones tear up during a blind audition, you have truly been given a gift. She should have won, followed by Christina Marie, but She's been opening for Tom and I think she's going to be just fine.
I'm late to the party so to speak, but I would have to say that she may not have won the competition but she did take the trophy. Touring with Sir Tom Jones? I think she got the better end of the stick.
just pure magic. I totally understand how Tom felt. maybe it's from being older but her voice just captures the highs and lows that have only been experienced by people that have lived and lost through the years.
I am sure that there are many people, like myself, that are so pleased that Sally has included her momentous interpretation of this classic song on her new C.D. The C.D., titled 'Love Rat', is due for release on 14th September 2015. Also included is her emotive reading of 'Walk On By', plus four new songs she has written. This will be a C.D. to love and cherish methinks.
You are so very amazing!!!!! I feell very honored and humbled to have heard you!!!! You are never too old to follow your dreams. I wish you all the best and I hope one day you come to AMERICA! I'd very much love to see you! God Bless :)
i know what they mean when they say she sung with emotion...like i've never heard this song before and i could just relate to it so much in her singing it...it was great...i nearly cried

Such a beautiful haunting voice. It's sad that talent like this is nit heard often anymore. i am always reminded of the phrase from a song " video killed the radio star" mainstream music today is so immersed in visual effects, dancing, fashion etc that the voices of far too many famous entertainers are really mediocre. I believe the world hungers for that talent that touches the soul. Something beyond visual stimulation.
Not rly, shes the real gentleman(woman). They agreed that she has pure voice and they both would push the buttons but she let him coach her, because she knew they would be a great match together. Which they did.
Got teary. I see that she made 2nd. I feel like this wouldn't happen in the U.S. Happy happy happy. Definitely "paid her dues" ...I wonder if there are old videos of her singing over the last 30 years?
I am always moved by the voice of this angel, her life heart and soul is in every song she sings, so palpable it is almost ridiculous. In the open air her voice could bring a flock of doves down from the heavens to pay court.
I understood why no one turned, except Tom and that was at the very last second. Because it would be utterly disrespectful to interrupt her. That was a rare Voice moment that deserved undivided attention.
What in God's name was happening at that moment right there? Goosebumps tears in my eyes. So very good and so very enotional. S.S.S.S. Still Staying Strong Sally ❤
At the age of 70 something(ME)...Sally has truly one of the most beautiful voices I have ever had the pleasure of hearing and listening to. All are blessed to hear her!
I have checked known artist that sang this song and she's the only one that really moved me. The original which I believe is the animal was blah to me but she took this song to a higher level! Describing her performance as beautiful is an understatement. There is no superlatives that can describe her performance. Brilliant and thank you for posting this.
I think2014 Voice was great! But what baffles me is how Jermaine won it. The geezer is pants. Much more better contestants to him. Should of been a Sally Christina final.
When I watched it years ago, I wanted Jermain to win! Now looking back at the comments it looks like it was Only me Xx lmao Sally and Christina were unreal though x
johnny5057 , she is to old to win the voice, because they just want young people, who win the competition. thats the big shit of this show. she sings so great. but the cowd does not know quality, just mainstream-voices like the winners voice.
I've listened to this video so many times already ^^ she really sings like an angel ❤️ I'm sure that Tom turned, because his soul wanted to sing with her!
