What did you think of Maria's original song? ✌️

[graysenwitch]

I like that judge who always tears up whenever he hears a soulful song.

[MarvinVM]

imagine singing your own song in a blind audition and actually made the coaches cry. OUTSTANDING!

[averageamerican]

This young woman was meant to sing. She sings so effortlessly and her voice is so pure. Amazing.

[becka]

The black judge has one of the most genuinely joyous smiles I’ve ever seen 🥰

[MultiDougster]

The "Try to Fix You" duet was incredible. Great chemistry. They need to team up; very rare that two voices mesh this effortlessly.

[deanarjones]

She’s amazing. That battle/duet “Fix You” was beautiful. They complimented each other well.

[ahamoments]

Maria's original song was so incredibly moving and simply real, and her voice is one of the easiest voices to listen to.. just gentle raw beauty, no fuss, no squealy bits, just simply beautiful..

[AlexRodriguez-gpui]

I love that coach that always gets emotional. He is so moving

[Anna_Stetik]

Who hurt this girl? Who broke her heart? She sings with emotion you cannot fake, and you can see how it affects people. Those judges' eyes well up in more than one song. She's been through some things, and it connects, strongly, with the audience.

[raffyvargas]

You can feel her passion in singing with the emotions she adds to her every cover. Not to mention the heartfelt original song she sang, now on my fave lists on spotify!🥰

[rodneyjaynes]

Maria totally feels her song and shows us her feelings in her singing. Best I have seen in a long time!!

[Ouwkackemann]

She is what they call an old soul.
Great young woman.

[mszkamio]

The duet was my fave. It's refreshing to see how much more minimalistic and down-to-earth The Voice in Norway is compared to other countries'. No theatrics, just humanity and music.

[dnnerknispel]

It is almost impossible to not tear up. She conveys so much emotion, really impressive!

[CountryKindOfCrazy]

That first battle was awesomely performed, and they sounded like they have been singing together for a very long time...I wanted you to keep them both.

[davidwilliams]

Over my 65 years I've heard a lot of great singers and I think she has a beautiful voice. I could listen to her every day.

[justcharles]

Her original song is outstanding, vocals lyrics stage present on point 💕

[Successful]

Great song and great voice! Matoma is such a sensitive guy, I want to go up and hug him when he gets all teared up. What a sweetie!

[jamescapps]

Her original song is beautiful, and her voice so mesmerizing.
