Absolutely love Mike's voice. He HAS to be in with a real shot of winning this. I just love the look on his face at 1:36 when he realises that Tom Jones turned round for him. Absolutely amazing!
This is the show is looking PURE VOICE. and WOW there is a BIG BONUS HE IS GOOD LOOKING. MIKE STAY HUMBLE AND PRAYING YOU TO WIN. HE IS THE VOICE. SO RAW AND PURE
when I was younger I could never really get into country music. as I've gotten older and have experienced more, country music seems to have more meaning. a voice like this can make even the toughest people weep.
I don't know what to say really because I expected to still be seeing and hearing him on 📺 I think we are missing a lot without him spreading that gorgeous voice of his ❤❤❤❤❤
One of America's Classic Country Songs! Mike does a wonderful job on this tune and has the right emotions to put into it! I applaud you Mike and hope you stay into Country or any kind of soulful music as you have what it takes to reach inside peoples hearts. Not too many in any genre can do that! Good luck on your journey.
He sounds beautiful...love his voice, love that his doing country and his just such a handsome fella!! He can be massive in UK but definitely in US!! Team Tom & Mike!!
Serious Mike U have to continue Your voice is amazing, PLEASE DO NOT give up, I listen to this everyday and I cannot express how much feeling and emotion you bring. Please Mike you have to continue x
I loved how he wasn't what you expected; he was so good! I'm glad they chose him. And it was so cute how his little brother was so excited too. Warmed my heart :)
really hope he wins.i av lost count the amount of times i av watched this,i cant get enough of it.listened to the original & he sang it just as well.TEAM TOM & MIKE ALL THE WAY!
Your spot on there! Can't believe he never went on to better thing's! He's voice is up there with some of the great country singers. Just shows sometimes you've gotta be in the right place with the right people at the time. But thought with that performance on tv and on the voice, that was good enough, but shows you it's so hard still to be reconised cos that guy's got as good a voice as anyone!
@@cruz1aviator ... NO. This is the best rendition.. it is sooo flawless, I can not reconcile it against this guy. It is unbelievable! I think this must have been a fluke.. he can't sing it like this every time. Not possible.
Wow this is amazing his tone of voice brought shivers down my spine, he has a spectacular voice that I love deeply he needs to keep up the singing.👍 WOW just Wow 💙
A beautiful voice, a beautiful song, your voice is very different. As a country fan, I have to say that you have one of the most beautiful country voices I ever heard.
I think he's a serious contender for the title you know why? Great tone, beautiful voice, good-looking, and could be the key to help introduce country music to the UK. He stands out because he's not like a powerhouse belter like most of the other contestants. He's just got a smooth, easy kind of voice. I think he'll do really well...
this guy is amazing...love his voice...wow..wow...wow..!...he should win the voice..he got me when he sang his first word..this guy has something rare..and this should be shared..!!!good luck mike..x
Have been keeping an eye out on You Tube and I Tunes for something from you, loved your performances on The Voice including Landslide - very glad to hear that things are going well
Originality may not be trading for some. But for those who love and respect the music, even if you prefer another style, always recognize the talent and excitement of a privileged as you Mike. Congratulations and go ahead, God bless you. Greetings from Brazil.
This guy a brilliant,one off the fab young singers for country ,I 24 and think mike amazing singer for young talent on the voice wish mike won tbh as he deserved a young guy bring back country and would go long way in his career like Travis twitt and Garth brookes
This never get old. It's already 2022. It's been a long yrs when we keep playing this audition. Love his style. It's great that he won the competition to change the music genre. Come to Baguio City, Philippines and jam with our country singers. Country songs are so much alive here.
My neighborhood cats sound better than that when they're fighting. The sky don't have the voice. He would drop off at the end of each verse. Then when he sang the chorus it was all over the place. You people don't know what you're talking about. That's why that black guy I think it was Will i Am. He knew better.

As an American, hearing a country’s classic like this being sung elsewhere makes me so happy!
So natural, so warm, so simple, so soothing. His performance speaks volumes. Just have to listen again and again.
knew wardy for about 8 years and never new he had a voice like this well done mate hope ya win it
That cheeky grin at the end, is the reason he is just too perfect :*
that voice was fuccking GOLD...
Best cover of this song I've ever heard
I somehow prefer this version over the one he performed in the finals. Idk this one seems so much more sincere
I agree!
I think so

Then you have no idea who Keith Whitley is
Still loving this audition in 2021.
September 2024 ❤
I wasn't a fan of him on the show but since it's ended I haven't been able to stop listening to his version of this song. His tone is so gorgeous.
I loved the way his eyes sparkled when sir tom turned his chair. when he sings it sends tingles down my back. LOVE HIM
wow, I grew up with this song and I never would have guessed that a British guy with his looks would have sang that song! it was great!
He is Irish 💚🇮🇪
Hes from Manchester so yes he is British.
He didn't sang that that song, he sung it.
Absolutely love Mike's voice. He HAS to be in with a real shot of winning this. I just love the look on his face at 1:36 when he realises that Tom Jones turned round for him. Absolutely amazing!
Beautiful voice, and he's adorable too. I love his eyes
This is the show is looking PURE VOICE. and WOW there is a BIG BONUS HE IS GOOD LOOKING. MIKE STAY HUMBLE AND PRAYING YOU TO WIN. HE IS THE VOICE. SO RAW AND PURE
I can't get enough of his voice + he's cute :)

I love Mike voice he is amazing I remember him on the voice UK I use to watch every week to hear him sing 😘
I loved how involved his little bro is, so invested in seeing his brother succeed.
when I was younger I could never really get into country music. as I've gotten older and have experienced more, country music seems to have more meaning. a voice like this can make even the toughest people weep.
And the lyrics are understandable & real !
I feel u
Lol
Amen. The lyrics really cut deep and Mike's tone push the blade even deeper.

He's got such a rich tone that draws you automatically. It's really rare, and amazing

Pfft you haven’t watched Chris Young’s rendition which i feel beats even Keith Whitley’s original.
@@cruz1aviator ... NO. This is the best rendition.. it is sooo flawless, I can not reconcile it against this guy. It is unbelievable! I think this must have been a fluke.. he can't sing it like this every time. Not possible.
The lyrics is heartfelt.
0:44-0:47 that note is just so amazing too me. Just the way he holds it :)
What a voice he has , i remember watching this season was probably the best yet 🤘🤘❤️

Great tone, beautiful voice, good-looking, and could be the key to help introduce country music to the UK. He stands out because he's not like a powerhouse belter like most of the other contestants. He's just got a smooth, easy kind of voice. I think he'll do really well...
