My goodness, no wonder they finished the show with this one! I don't think either of these singers has a top notch classical voice, but Lucy and Karl both brought something special to the Voice this year, along with Classical Reflection (who we have yet to see again). This was by far the most accomplished duet and should set an example for everyone to follow. Why make war when you can make love? I really enjoyed it, and I could not have picked a winner.
periurban I'm kind of obsessed with reading your reviews LOL both were lovely and even though it would have made it more theatrical (which I guess given the song, it's one of few times it's allowed) I wish Karl was a little more emotional with it - I felt he was lacking a bit of heart. I don't know, Karl is TRULY lovely and I'd happily pay to listen to him sing, but for this song choice I just thought he was a bit stiff of voice not his physical performance. Lucy had my attention from the time she opened her mouth. Loved it they both are deserving of a spot and I do hope that they beat out the likes of the young lady that auditioned with Super Bass. But Lucy gets my vote this time around.
A great performance. Glad both got through! I hope Classical Reflection get through their battle round. I got a shock when they appeared for their blind edition because they were very similar to two of my Four Playing Card Suits (Club and Spade). If they had done the exotically humungous hairstyles of Club (Mohican) and Spade (Afro) and had a club and spade symbol on each of their dresses respectively, they would have been dead ringers. See the book cover showing the Four Playing Card Suits (which was composed over Christmas before I knew of Classical Refection's existence): s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ce/f6/f6/cef6f6aa936c8ee4a8b0ffe62c4548da.jpg. BTW, although the girls are all singing a High-C in unison on the book cover, Club excels in Mezzo-soprano; and Spade excels in Soprano but also does a perfect soubrette voice for musical theatre inimitable characters. Unlike Naomi and Hannah, the Four Playing Card Suits are incredible fighters. Spade even managed to beat up a hired thug leaving a bruise on his face that perfectly resembled her face! That was in book 4 though. I forgot to mention that the Four Playing Card Suits' shoe colours match their eye colours (when they retract their hair, that's how you can tell which is which from a distance).
I just saw this battle for the first time. Can't believe the judges gave it to Lucy. I have studied voice and sung for years. There is no comparison between these two. Lucy is good but she had some intonation problems and goes sharp. Karl was in perfect control of his voice with unbelievable breath support from his diaphragm. Powerful in his lower range, as well as the upper range without trailing off. For a 24 year old, this is mind blowing!!!
You seem to be a living proof for those people who have sung for years and don't seem to have understood too much. His voice flutters (goaty sound) and has no core. The latter one results in the absence of squillo which is a must when singing classical or even musical. Watch how Tom Jones, the only jury member with a strong voice, grimaces when Loxley is hitting critical notes... he doesn't like it and right so.
Phil: Yes, I also know something about singing and I totally agree with you. I think the same - Karl was much, much better than her. Plus she looked funny too :)
@@ilecier: Naah, in my view she was caterwauling. I know there are some people who actually like that pitch, but for me - I can't get my head around it. And I really don't care what Tom Jones thinks. Could be he's going tone-deaf in his later years. Karl was great with that song, 100%.
I never watch talent shows so this is The first time I’ve heard this guy. He is off the chart.He shouldn’t even be on this talent show he should’ve already made it on Broadway or in London by now. His voice is phenomenal
to Lucy and Karl if you are reading this...please, sing together! When the show will be over, however it will ends up, just sing together again. Your voices are pure gold individually, but together, oh maaaan! There's no way you won't be the most incredible duo on this earth! Start as a duo, mix together your classical voices and emotions with some pop music and instruments and there you will have the brightest careers (and you will be stars as soloist, just an album and kabooom baby!!!)
Theonly Amal I am watching all of Lucy's performances on the Voice, and I get goosebumps every single time, with each of her performances. Only a true winner can do that !
Love them both together. They looked amazing and you could see the respect they both had for eachothers talent. I totally would put them together professionally and as a couple.
Outstanding. Best yet. Coming back to this performance, upon reflection 'Thank you, Will' for seeing the potential of Lucy and Karl: it adds a fabulous and much needed dimension to this years show.
Seriously the best battle of the voice ever! wow wow and more wow! I loved every bit, they really sound amazing together, hope they can do some works together in the future. I love Lucy so much, she's gorgeous and talented. Can't wait to see her at the Royal Albert Hall!
And Karl was robbed. I have studied voice and sung for years. Vocally, Karl has the superior voice. Lucy has intonation problems and went sharp. Karl has better diaphragm support and strength to his voice. He has command over his voice and makes it go where he wants it to go!!!
I'm surprised that nobody said something like "I didn't know that Juliette Moore had a younger sister who can sing like that!"...at least nobody that got upvoted enough for it.
Oh, really! We just forgot what music really is, thanks to them we just come back to time when opera was all beauty of music, and it really is! Thank you guys soo much! Lovely!
I know, it's weird he didn't choose her. Same with Claudia and Rosa, for me Claudia was a clear winner in that battle. Perhaps it was tactical voting from Tom, because he knew they'd both get stolen and wanted to keep them in the show.
So I'm never usually into Opera/Classical music, but this performance was definitely the best of the whole night! It was done so professionally and with such ease, I felt like I was watching an actual theatre performance! I'm so glad you both got through to The Knockouts and I hope you both get through to the Lives too! x
This gave me chills! 'Memory' originally from the musical Cats is a song that conveys so much emotion and feeling, It was a very hard song choice from Will for the pair, but god did they do it justice! So much so that Tom ended up stealing the looser Karl, but rightfully so! Everything from their pristine techniques to showcasing light and shade was so professional, it was more than just a battle, it was a true duet! hope that both of these 2 make the lives!
Absolutely stunning. 2 brilliant singers with amazing voices. Lucy O'Byrne - you give me goosebumps every time I hear your voice, you stir my soul. Karl - you have such a powerful, warm voice, I'm so glad that you didn't lose out. For me Lucy O'Byrne is the brightest shining star in this year's contest.
An epic battle from two of the finest voices in the competition. Either one could be the finals winner. Lucy made redundant the fashion police by appearing immaculately turned out which enhanced her beauty. Congratulations to you both!
I studied this musical for my GCSE and have to say this is the best version of this song I have ever heard and would love both to go in to the theatre and sing side by side again
My barometer for the Battle Rounds is always how many times did I want to replay. This battle between Lucy O’Byrne Vs Karl Loxley and the battle between Jade Hewitt Vs Christina Matovu are the only two so far that I've watched a number of times.
Wow Lucy and Karl. Both brilliant singers in their own right, put together they sound magical! superb performance from the both of them. Regardless of where the Voice takes them I am sure their singing careers are secured, hopefully together. :)
***** Truthfully I can't take seriously somebody who gives coments like that... I think that song can demonstrate her control and range of her Voice and could be and approach to crack that code that Will.I.Am said to her In the blinds...
***** "It's not an enjoyable song" simply because, to this age, you have not learned what TRUE MUSIC really means. What you have witnessed in this clip is what music is all about. It's really sad that you can't access it, and it does nothing to your soul. It's not your fault. It's the society you live in, which decided to pervert what most likely the Gods liked to listen to, many ages ago. In any case, here's a suggestion ; next time when you don't appreciate a melody think that maybe,... just maybe,.... it's "YOU" who don't understand it, and restrain yourself from speaking / posting ...... "rubbish" :-))
Totally awesome .. Both Karl and Lucy have what it takes to go straight into the final.. This is what the show is all about great talent and Will choose the perfect song to show case their talent . Gave me goosebumps .. Anyone who gave this a thumbs down either needs there ears testing or just hasn't got a clue about brilliant music!!
I never leave comments as i cant be asked, but what an absolute dynamite performance (did that even make sense?) from the start to the finish. I am not huge opera fan but easily they would sell out places, anyone agree? Like tom said they compliment each other so well i couldn't choose a winner.
Was this a battle or a performance...holy crap...I'm touched.
there were just great together wasnt they
dignature123 agree 100% would pay a ticket to see..
deux superbe voix

I always agree with your comments, and I always enjoy reading them. Stevie is my favorite as well, even though this wasn't his performance.

***** I'm glad you like my words. I'm doing what I can to describe what I see and hear, and it's lovely that people seem to like what I say!
Natalie Lavaka It is wonderful to see this kind of variety in the show.
I love pop but I love classics to.And like always you're comments are to the point.I'm sorry my english is not that good
.
Possibly the best ever performance on this show. Stunning.
Listening to this two I feel like I am in a beautiful old animation movie...Amazing voices.
Wow! We love this song, your performance gave us goosebumps! We love you both! xx
It's really cool to see how you, Lucy and Karl are so good and so different in the same musical style.
A great performance. Glad both got through! I hope Classical Reflection get through their battle round. I got a shock when they appeared for their blind edition because they were very similar to two of my Four Playing Card Suits (Club and Spade).

Очень хорошо!!!👏👏👏👏👏👍
ditto
Wish they could continue as a duo!
This actually gave me goosebumps. It's also the first time I've EVER heard ANYONE sing this song so that I could hear all the words! :D
I just saw this battle for the first time. Can't believe the judges gave it to Lucy. I have studied voice and sung for years. There is no comparison between these two.

Late reply but I think Lucy won because of her tone. It's beautiful.

That was stunning. Hairs rising on the back of my neck at the end. Delighted they both went through.
Karl Loxley u brought me to tears... there was a moment in that song where u just nailed it... best singer in the competition... 👏👏👏👏
Ok but I really ship them
They need to get married and have cute little opera babies.
My new otp.
That's what I was gonna say!
It isn't battle! It is well balanced duo !!!!
I never watch talent shows so this is The first time I’ve heard this guy. He is off the chart.He shouldn’t even be on this talent show he should’ve already made it on Broadway or in London by now. His voice is phenomenal
They are amazing, they should be a duet. No way should they be split up. A big WOW.
to Lucy and Karl if you are reading this...please, sing together! When the show will be over, however it will ends up, just sing together again.

This for me is still one of the best performances I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. They work so well together.
Brilliant battle; felt like I was watching a production.
Never thought too much of this song.....until Karl and Lucy's performance. Wow! I just keep listening to it over and over.
Chills chillis all over my bodddyy
Theonly Amal I am watching all of Lucy's performances on the Voice, and I get goosebumps every single time, with each of her performances. Only a true winner can do that !
This is very good television ... this is how it should be ... two very talented singers in a textbook battle. This goes right to the heart.
Love them both together. They looked amazing and you could see the respect they both had for eachothers talent. I totally would put them together professionally and as a couple.
My favourite performance of all time on The Voice. I could watch it over and over.
Stunning! Made me breathless!
The best performance ever happened on Voice UK.
WOW that performance was absolutely out of this world and they should so be performing together all the time!!!
Two amazing singers. Both deserved their place in the competition.
OMG! I just listened to them..............Unbelievable!!! WOW!
Outstanding. Best yet. Coming back to this performance, upon reflection 'Thank you, Will' for seeing the potential of Lucy and Karl: it adds a fabulous and much needed dimension to this years show.
Seriously the best battle of the voice ever! wow wow and more wow! I loved every bit, they really sound amazing together, hope they can do some works together in the future. I love Lucy so much, she's gorgeous and talented. Can't wait to see her at the Royal Albert Hall!

The loveliest, cleanest performance I have ever seen. So stunning and beautiful like two Disney characters. Performed by such lovely people as well x
I've heard this song a million times and never really listened. This time I actually heard it. The anguish. The beauty. Especially the last part
It would be lovely if after the competition Lucy & Karl teamed up as a duet to perform professionally, they sound great together x
Raoul and Christine anyone? Would love to hear these two do All I Ask of You :) incredible!
I would pay to see that haha
Lauren Blakemore me too!
Christine and Phantom
buffda789 More like the Phantom and Christine....
boobar YESS
Best battle round ever in the voice. Brought me to tears. Superb vocal of both Lucy and Karl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love for them to be a duo!! So much passion together! I hope one of them sings Miss Saigon during the competition x
Who on earth dislike this. This was heavenly
she looks like Julianne Moore
exactly what i thought!
That was my firts thought when I saw her :)
lol i made the same comment, albeit a younger version :P
I'm surprised that nobody said something like "I didn't know that Juliette Moore had a younger sister who can sing like that!"...at least nobody that got upvoted enough for it.
That's what Ive'd thought
Oh, really! We just forgot what music really is, thanks to them we just come back to time when opera was all beauty of music, and it really is! Thank you guys soo much! Lovely!
The chemistry is breathtaking. It adds another dimension to the performance. It was magical.
holy cow!!! this is so goood, i keep replay this song again and again..
The best battle so far in such along time, amazing.
They have to get married, their chemistry is incredible. #kucy anyone?
Absolute soul wrenching in a beautiful way. Lucy & Karl are outstanding together.
Best duet memory song that I ever heard
An absolute epic battle, I'm so glad Tom stole Karl.
He wasn't chosen? I think he has much more potential than her, since they both did good here, it's hard to say who was "better".
I know, it's weird he didn't choose her. Same with Claudia and Rosa, for me Claudia was a clear winner in that battle. Perhaps it was tactical voting from Tom, because he knew they'd both get stolen and wanted to keep them in the show.
So beautiful! I had tears on my eyes. Completely different from everything that ever happened on this show.
That's a #1 record right there! Just beautifull
still the best battle ever on this program if you can call it a battle
2 brilliant singers that give me goose bumps everytime I watch
So I'm never usually into Opera/Classical music, but this performance was definitely the best of the whole night! It was done so professionally and with such ease, I felt like I was watching an actual theatre performance! I'm so glad you both got through to The Knockouts and I hope you both get through to the Lives too! x
Ok they SANG my favorite classic song ever and I got goosebumps all over.. this is perfection !!!!!
This gave me chills! 'Memory' originally from the musical Cats is a song that conveys so much emotion and feeling, It was a very hard song choice from Will for the pair, but god did they do it justice! So much so that Tom ended up stealing the looser Karl, but rightfully so! Everything from their pristine techniques to showcasing light and shade was so professional, it was more than just a battle, it was a true duet! hope that both of these 2 make the lives!
OMG!!! THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Gave me goosebumps!!!
I cried, whoops.
Amazing performance by both of them! So glad that they're both through.
It brings me to tears every time I listen to it. It's magical. I love Lucy and Karl equally and they sound beautiful seperate, but also together.
I remember singing it in a choir. Ahh, good old memories... How much I miss those days... Beautiful performance.
Absolutely stunning. 2 brilliant singers with amazing voices. Lucy O'Byrne - you give me goosebumps every time I hear your voice, you stir my soul. Karl - you have such a powerful, warm voice, I'm so glad that you didn't lose out. For me Lucy O'Byrne is the brightest shining star in this year's contest.
i have the chills from the first note till the last!!
The sheer beauty of both voices brought serious tears to my eyes...
Lord, Karl's voice...
An epic battle from two of the finest voices in the competition. Either one could be the finals winner. Lucy made redundant the fashion police by appearing immaculately turned out which enhanced her beauty. Congratulations to you both!
Truly awesome performance - they shouldn't be parted as they compliment each other so much; loved it.
Fantastic voices - they both deserve musical theatre careers - I wish them both the very best of luck
I studied this musical for my GCSE and have to say this is the best version of this song I have ever heard and would love both to go in to the theatre and sing side by side again
I literally can't stop watching this.
they are both good!! still listening 2k19!
2023 here. Hope this notification brings you back
I really wish these two had met each other before the show and entered as a duo. We'd be able to hear perfection like this every week then!
not usually my type of music however spell bounding well done
My barometer for the Battle Rounds is always how many times did I want to replay. This battle between Lucy O’Byrne Vs Karl Loxley and the battle between Jade Hewitt Vs Christina Matovu are the only two so far that I've watched a number of times.
Beautiful
They are both so good I keep watching this clip over and over again. But Lucy is absolutely brilliant.
She was mesmerising!
I just want to mention how much I love this host! She is lovely!
Best battle of the night!!
BY FAR the best battle of the night!
OMG, this performance is such a grand final show. Awesome.
Man, that was awesome!!!!
I really wish I could buy this track, they sounded amazing!
the most beautiful thing i have heard on voice

Wow Lucy and Karl. Both brilliant singers in their own right, put together they sound magical! superb performance from the both of them. Regardless of where the Voice takes them I am sure their singing careers are secured, hopefully together. :)
World Class Performers

Woow!!! Lo que hicieron estos dos.. fue increíblemente perfecto! Ojalá sigan así de bien toda la temporada :')
what a wonderful duet!!!!!
Perfect perfectttttt my God!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕💕💕😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
I really hope Lucy sings the opera from the 5th Element... That would be EPIC!!!!
I just listened to that song and it's rubbish
***** Truthfully I can't take seriously somebody who gives coments like that... I think that song can demonstrate her control and range of her Voice and could be and approach to crack that code that Will.I.Am said to her In the blinds...

Karl performed just a bit better in my opinion.
A whole LOT better!!!
I never leave comments as i cant be asked, but what an absolute dynamite performance (did that even make sense?) from the start to the finish. I am not huge opera fan but easily they would sell out places, anyone agree? Like tom said they compliment each other so well i couldn't choose a winner.
Amazing on there own and awesome together. good luck to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxx
They were both brilliant.
That key change at the modulation.
I died.
Both amazing without question.
This. Is. AMAZING!!!!!
