What is your favorite performance by Okulaja? 👇

[shelliem]

His mom did such a good job raising her Kidd. The way the younger ones look up to him is so beautiful

[singtorres]

It's funny how he was sent home then came back and got to the finale. He is such an inspiration.

[stephaniebishell]

He is absolutely a class act, WE NEED HIM right now in the world WE NEED HIM.

[paulleblanc]

Okulaja and Janel did a sick song together. It sounded like a concert or a song that would be on the Radio. Hey, you both blew the roof off. Loved it. It actually reminded me of the Fugees with Lauryn Hill times. That was their best time.

[lungiletibane]

Will.I.Am is just amazing! So far, I know of 3 young men for whom he alone turned around for, in the very last minute. All 3 ended up in the FINALE!

[BrafeMan]

I really liked Okulaja's own rap verse he did in the second verse. Awesome, how he turned a generally negative narrative from the song into his own positive narrative, saying how it can all be better in life. The world needs more people like him.

[judystucchi]

Thank goodness you turned WILL....we have
You to thank for letting
US ALL witness his talent!

[lindastewart]

I watched this episode 5 times i was so impressed with Okulaja. This kid sang and rapped about the truths in this big beautiful world. I loved the performance he did with Wil.IAM.I feel he should have won. It just goes to show you there's still the ole don't use your voice to stand up If your of another color. This kid will go far in life without The Voice, Because he is educated and smart and he does have a voice. His own. And i heard him. Something we all should listen to. Where is the love.

[GlobalPrivateTruthWarrior]

He's a great kid. Positive energy. Hope he can make it big and uplift his family and young people! Thanks for showing him Love!

HE HAS SUCH A STRONG PRESENCE AND IS A GREAT PERFORMER OMG!! I’m so excited for him.

[piximyn]

Will, you are a gift to your singers!! But, I think you also knew that the competition was so horrendously powerful. Equally talented as your contestant, just in another way -- and you have a perfect understanding of what can happen with FANTASTIC standing on every side of you! This WAS a win for that young man!!

[AmericanBornGrappler]

I’m very inspired by this young man. I don’t listen to rap or hip-hop, but I know a good singer when I hear one! Hopefully he’ll be picked up by a record label so he can perform for the world. We all need representation no matter what color we are. Sing on!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[barr]

This man will be our next prime minister! #TeamOkulaja

[tneville]

He is an extraordinary man. I love his attitude. I love the love he obviously has for his family.

[deborahdaniel]

God's speed Olukaja. You are what the world needs right now, 'HOPE IN GOD" you rock Son👏👏👏

[Itzchandan]

He's such a great talented rapper at such a young age & his auditions are just so stunning & spellbinding 😍👋

[jumiac.]

That 'If I Ruled The World' rendition!?!?!?!?! NEEDS to be studio recorded His 1st verse hit hard

That was a great pairing and a great friggin song choice. Wow. Vision.

[lewthrasher]

I hope he continues to rap and sing. I'm sure he'll be prime minister 1 day. Great job . I'm not a rap fan but you made me listen to what you were saying.

[Michael-ihil]

I just know his mother’s prayer and God brought him back in the competition!!! African mothers have crazyyy faith🙏🏿❤️
