Some of these judges just search for the same voices over and over. From the moment this girl opened her mouth you could hear the unique tones and texture. It was unique ! Thanks Tom for not letting this one get away.

[annetteharrison]

The way Tom looks at her is like a proud Dad. I'm soooo glad he turned his chair for this prize possession. She's unique in so many ways!!!

[julietndukwe]

It’s the way Tom looks at her, like she’s his child and he’s immensely proud of her. So beautiful to see such devotion from a coach to his protege.

[gitimgirl]

He picked all the perfect songs for her to sing

[dualwinchesters]

THIS GIRL IS ALL TALENT, BUT THE SONG CHOICES FOR HER VOICE ARE IMPECCABLE.

[Hhjraaaaa]

She sounds like an alternative indie pop artist. Something that’s missing in the industry rn.

[tolitsdterrible]

She has a rare and unique timbre in her voice. Just imagine if no one turned.

[songbyrrd]

Her voice is warm, soulful, and entrancing. She has a world sound...

[e.d.h]

She has the voice of a folk singer, very deep and earthy, with an occasional runaway yodel. Those high notes she hit, were a pleasant surprise.

[shadyogre]

Tom’s expression was more like, “I’m a proud grandpa rather than just a coach”. Goosebumps ☺️

[olanipekunolajumoke]

Thank you Tom for seeing what other people couldn’t see in her, If there wasn’t one old judge, she’ll probably never get this far.

[rowdyyates]

TomJones has lived a long life, and init he has learned to know when a voice is special, hats off to him!!

[kamelhaj]

Finally - someone won who was a straight-up singer (no need for hollering or fancy dynamics). Just the quality of her voice was all that was needed.

[NDBit]

Tom Jones genuinely looks like her as if he's a proud grandfather, though - just too cute and cool... It's almost as if he's about to cry every single time he sees her at it

[ChoiSanLovesU]

That duet with Tom is just absolute beauty. ♥️♥️♥️

[ElizabethMac]

What I found crazy is that the ENTIRE audience heard the unique sound. They were screaming to hit the button. I was like WHAT?? Are you deaf??? They were worried if it was a girl or boy.... Didn't matter... What. Do. You. Hear. ??? Because that soothing voice was insane from the first note. One of my favorites from the voice.

[maryjanegreg]

I wish i could like this a thousand times. Her voice is magical.

[ryeencoke]

What I love about Tom is when he turns he gives this huge genuine welcoming smile, like he is saying, "Yes I picked you because you are awesome and I want to be a part of your journey"

[ifeanyichukwuokonkwo]

As a Nigerian, I'm proud of her. I'm proud knowing that her dad is from Ondo State where I was born and raised.
