This woman just sang at my mom's nursing home. This was literally my introduction. Her voice reduced me to a puddle of tears. She's got a heart of gold and was so kind to me. She should've won. She's a national treasure if you ask me. I'll be supporting her in whatever way I can.

[@aleaseaubreyfrieson5106]

My jaw hit the floor. This performance was ....I don't even have the words. That woman's ability to emote and tell a story is impeccable.

[@robertwilson5305]

It really is

The way she looks over yonder like she's telling the story to someone on another planet with those worldly eyes just breathtaking ❤

[@suzanneearth]

Search for” Cher believe Adam Lambert” to see this arrangement where Adam sang it to Cher.

[@mrikshigamer2598]

Is your jaw ok?

[@NERSkate]

EMOTE! that’s the word I was looking for. By changing the style & tempo from bouncing club - disco that emotes enlightenment, joyful for freedom to find new love , by slowing the speed and changing the tempo- accentuating particular phrases on volume and holding long notes- emotes disappointment, loss, pain. Almost a ballad. Bravo. This girl will be a BLOCK BUSTER.

[@pinningformichigan8120]

Cher's version never made me cry, this has me sobbing. Good work.

[@davidj.kleinsasser8673]

Thank Ella Henderson for this version...kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYXFlIJvpsZ4a8k

Adam Lambert did this version at Kennedy Center Honors and he actually made Cher cry. Beautiful song when it is done in this slow version.

[@beverlycoe-cotton-rc3ip]

Best performance ever!! I can’t believe he didn’t pick her to stay on. I’ve listened to this performance more than 2 dozen times - can’t get enough. I’ve literally never “followed” a performer before now. I’m such a fan!

[@DevilishDBL]

She was completely robbed. When I heard that she wasn’t making the top 9 I was heart broken. She really does just have this ability to touch the soul, mind, and heart simultaneously. What an amazing job

[@RamonPVe]

Same for me and my wife, we have watched t we don't know how many times, more than 15 for sure, and then she cries in the middle of the song, and make us cry too, so beautiful.

[@janet-zk2kl]

I agree! Absolutely beautiful. I keep playing it too.

[@cindyfern]

I heard if you win.. you can't make music freely until sometime has passed. So I think they did her a favor and let her get exposure but leave

That arrangement was stunning. Sung masterfully. . I think she just made Cher proud. Well done.

The song was "stripped down" by Adam Lambert years ago.

She performed a week ago Saturday night here in Colorado at the Wildflower Pavilion in Lyon’s, CO, where she’s from, and my wife and I and 3 friends went….and she brought Lennon Vanderdoes with her because they have struck up a friendship. They performed sets both individually and also did 3 duets together at the end. OH MY EFFING GOD!!! She was amazing!!!! But I tell you when those two sing together and harmonize….You go to heaven!!! Tears rolled from our eyes!!

All her performances are pure emotions. She would be a deserved winner. 💖

[@ommanipadmehum4975]

When you know about technically of the voice or are a great musician as John Legend it explains why it bends down. We should understand the mastery of this performance. Its like when you hear a Mozart piece for non-pianist hard to understand how genius it is . The magic comes from a profound control trained over thousands of hours and gifted and bright way of understanding of music in general. It is absolutely One in a million vocal performance, never heard before from my entire life.

[@red-3c489]

I think nobody would expect Cher's believe sung this way. Alexa's is such a brilliant, talented and discintive singer

[@royceannmarcum803]

This is more of the Adam Lambert version. I always liked it better

[@corycatches9463]

If u wanna hear this song sang well and a better version it was done n 2012 by ELLA HENDERSON on the XFactor UK.... Listen 2 that and youll hear how this song can really sound!!!

[@blaisepereira4154]

This version existed for a really time 😭

[@lbpoundcake6785]

Guys… just because an artist slows down or mellows out a song does not mean they are doing the same “version.” This version is distinctive and quite different from Adam Lambert or Ella Henderson. Instrumental density does not define a cover.

[@Dansrgurl]

OMG. She made that song SOOOO much better! The words are poignant and utterly lost in the disco version. Her voice is sublime!

Not her idea

[@whatsup3581]

The most beautiful cover ever.... No one better than this....I had goose bumps

[@juliaflanagan4148]

The things that sets Alexa apart is that she really inteprets songs in a songwriting style. She reminds me of Eva Cassidy and Mary Black. I wonder how she would sound singing something from Eva like "Fields of Gold" or from Mary like "Song for Ireland." But you know what I really like is how she takes this rocker song and interprets the lyrics in a melancholy style that makes you believe what she is saying.

[@GeorgeNguyen]

Oh yes ! I miss Eva Cassidy a lot. She makes us feel her Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iam4dKJuj5t4ocU

[@robbierobot5799]

Have you ever heard Ella Henderson's version from X-Factor in approx. 2012. This girl was only 16, seems like she started the more heartfelt versions of it. Enjoy.

Same i was thinking of eva cassidy the way she sing, its like story telling

[@tml9174]

Thank you for reminding me about Mary Black, I've got to re-listen to her wonderful voice. And Eva, if there was someone that I missed so much in the music industry, it's her. Songbird. My fav song.

[@spandel100]

Wow somebody who knows of Mary Black.Don't see her get mentioned often.Her CD "Babes in the Wood"is one of my favourite of all time.Eva has more of a sad life story,but she is just as ethereal,and also is up top of my all time favourite lists.❤

[@hannahcuciurean6389]

Goosebumps every time she performs. Such a dark horse. Incredible voice, she needs to be signed and make an album yesterday.

[@stevendrk7377]

Wow this is one of my favourite performances on this season so far. I mean she has been under the radar but the storytelling, the emotions, she just cuts right through - the clarity and subtle power in her voice too; the way she switched into full chest from a more subdued voice in the beginning. amazing. Definitely replaying this

[@oh-duh]

She shocked me, too. There is so much excellence everywhere on this year!

[@bobmendez7861]

The best voice never wins because it comes down to the sponsors and Clueless voters. She may not be the most powerful but her range her Clarity and Purity is currently unmatched on this particular show

I think not many people had noticed the lyrics in "Believe" while dancing to it, i thought they were just generic and how alexa highlights the beauty in the lyrics of the songs she had performed like it is her own story... Alexa is definitely so much more than a performer, she feels every letter she's singing and honestly, I just wanna hear her stories bc I cannot imagine how much emotion she will bring with one of her own

Great comment

[@jacobmccain8794]

One of the best performances in Voice History! Just flawless, every choice was better than the next! Since that battle Alexa has come into my top 5! Her voices hit you in your core. It just cuts through like a knife. It has such an ache, cry, and pain in her voice like no one else in the competition. That run she did on “love” was actually really wild! Her choices were ridiculous. The forced flip on “inside me say” that I one time was wild. Then, the run on “believe.” I could go on, but no reason. She is just a bona fide beast. Every time she performs it’s like she saying, look at me, I’m here to win! That was winning performance in my opinion! I need her album right now!!! So all three of these performances were absolutely insane for different reasons! The person that Niall didn’t pick or save had to get stolen right?!?!?

[@alexishermes2020]

She has an EP on Spotify that is mind blowing! Can't wait for a full album

[@stacidesrault9254]

No there were no more saves or steals left, but the show ended with a cliffhanger about “changing the rules” so we’ll see what happens on Monday I guess.

She might win the whole competition. When Alexa sings she sings from the deepest part of her heart and soul. She is gifted in her interpreting the meaning of the song that you could feel the pain and joy of the song . And as a listener you could feel everything to your bones . She has a beautiful God given voice crystal clear enunciation of the lyrics of the song perfect phrasing diction vocal inflections .Amazing range and vocal control. Heartfelt emotion that even she will shed tears . She is an artist extraordinaire . If she will make an album now I will buy it .Perfect choice Niall but The Voice needs to bring back Lennon and Julie . That’s the best 3 way knockout in the history of the voice .
