This is one of the greatest auditions I have ever heard. Absolutly amazing

[@patricksiekman3487]

Indeed. Amazing!

[@mukehkomeh1198]

❤

[@bangos56]

Absolutly

[@naomismith3677]

The fact he can play an instrument, sing amazingly, rap so well, combine it perfectly, and write fantastic songs is the real deal 😁

[@BenjaminHaycock]

Thank you so much Naomi! 😊

[@paulog6598]

And he was honest about health....though Anne-Marie or Ollie should been better choice...go Ben

[@niamhbartlett2465]

His Dad would be so proud.

[@BenjaminHaycock]

That means a lot to me, thank you! 🎶

He would bless him

[@karolinahudska2189]

Ben was my english teacher during my summer school in Exmouth. He was always kind and joyful and I am happy that he is living his dream.He is soooo talented! Wishing him succes and happiness:)

[@BeulahRhode]

Benjamin is absolutely incredible. He is not merely a single, he is an artist.

[@BenjaminHaycock]

Thank you so much! 🎶

[@chestergomba9188]

Indeed

[@phokarefiloe6996]

Incredible singer and he really is great

[@naumanashraf1753]

When Tom said he has never heard anything so beautiful.That is coming from a guy who praises very few with such deligent remarks.

[@aaronsmart5897]

Who has already watched this audition a thousand times even before this was posted?

[@Pikachuuuu410]

Me

[@trystanmargle2436]

Number 1 audition of all time. No question.

[@niallormond6972]

I'm actually disgusted with the voice that they didn't keep him , will I am sold him down the river giving him a terrible song choice and then none of the other judges saving him knowing what a star he will be , Benjamin will be the biggest star to come out of this years show regardless

[@bhavinb.artstation]

I genuinely believed Olly was the perfect choice for him but somewhere he got solded by will I am for some reason idk why he made tht choice though !

[@yonathanmekonnen2186]

He should perform on AGT or Xfactor

[@Andmorestories]

I swear to you I thought the same thing! It’s pretty sad! He is a star!!

[@msh12319]

Too sad

[@tinamoorehead2601]

Remember this is a "reality" TV show. That kind of artist isn't going to want to deal with format of this show. He probably wanted off and they wrote him out.

[@drewzzicle]

Isn't anyone going to say how adorable his wife is? I'll say it. His wife is adorable.

[@Maria-0017]

Yes she is, they look similar to each other, true twin flames!

[@lisanewman5418]

She is but why takeaway from his talent and performance with superficial fluff?

Ok, I'm in tears right now. Incredibly emotional and authentic audition.

[@questioneverything3060]

This show does people like him dirty, a real voice a song writer a talent but yet not mainstream. Deserves more.

[@frankthomas8657]

This guy went to my school and he had this talent from the get go wrote his own songs with some amazing lyrics

[@elysianquinn3223]

Yes, I agree, I don’t know him well but he often visits the place next to my house and we talk a bit. He is really talented

[@judsquadrons9016]

I met him too at a camp

[@wds525]

It's so nice to read things from real people, from real life. Thank you for sharing.

[@tony9734]

Restlessness of our minds are on the move, Pestered by these scars that time just won't remove, In trenches up in arms, We fight what we've been through, The restlessness of our. Dad I've found love now, Oh we've moved to the coast as well, And apparently I'm looking more like You every day now I've grew mine out, Yeah my hairs gone curly like yours, Maybe even more, And I'm surfing away every wave I pause and I think of the way you're Engraved in the salt of the Ocean's the place I can hear you talk Dad, But on the ground, No effort can turn it around, The sediments bury the enemy's peril embezzling me for the count, Will benevolence settle adrenaline's reveller, Deadening medicine, Heading for heaven now, Everyone edits irrelevant devils out The restlessness…

[@tony9734]

Great !!!!

[@melissatodd560]

Thank-you for transcribing his song. Such a beautiful letter to this father. Seeing the words as he sang them added even more to an already poignant performance.

[@davidayton6851]

That is the best audition i have ever seen on the voice amazing.

[@JM-oz3tz]

Listened to this every single day since I first saw him and showed it to everyone I know who hasn't, what a lovely, humble, polite and extremely talented young man, I pray to God he wins this and Even if he didn't he will go a long way and has already gained so many fans and melted so many hearts, perfection. Well done Benjamin, your No1 👍👍

[@TheHeavySoulsSA]

Early Ben Howard, Charlie Cunningham vibes. I'm here for it.

[@elsajones966]

Incredibly guitarist, singer, rapper, lyricist and performer. Ticks all of the boxes!

[@ramonadiac7172]

I feel so grateful when I see pure talent, I felt every second of this song.

[@BenjaminHaycock]

Thank you so much Ramona. That truly means a lot!

[@katelynnmertz7346]

I went over to his KZbin channel straight away and realised he has lots of other fantastic songs and videos to accompany them. A real artist.

[@vasiliosapostolidis8586]

2:57 The look you give when you fall in love. Absolutely incredible performance

Already cried before he even started singing

[@goosepotato_playz]

I met ben earlier this week, he helps with plants and horticulture and hes so kind to everyone

[@troy5352]

Benjamin......Every once in awhile, somebody like you comes along and breathes new life into the music industry. You are a gem. You tell a heartfelt story when you sing. I immediately went to your KZbin channel( Benjamin Haycock) and subscribed. Good luck my friend.

[@jamilesimplicio2163]

True

[@ambrosiadove2706]

Benjamin has to be the winner...he already is a winner! Brilliant talent...brilliant song...beautiful marriage...beautiful background story. Respect! x

[@PracticallyMint]

When I heard him, it gave me the same feeling as i had watching Sawyer Fredericks several years ago on Voice USA. We all know how that worked out. Fantastic performance!

[@MM-rv5he]

How do you not fall in love with such a respectful, grateful, talented person! Will be rooting for you!

[@BruFlgPhx26]

Every once in a while, artists come along that are so uniquely talented and amazingly original. I remember watching Sawyer Fredericks for the 1st time thinking “Wow”. I have that same reaction now watching Benjamin perform.

[@m1lkoboukalo]

by far the best audition ever in any the voice

[@pilar9247]

This was such a powerful performance. It was a brilliant song. The voice, the flow, the lyrics all mixed with passion and rhythm. It was incredibly moving.

[@nan4535]

Goosebumps. Epic man epic. Love from Maldives 🙌🏻❤️

[@coonerceloy6917]

ive gotta bet. he'll be a shining star before i'd die.

[@yelssin_184]

My condolences my man, keep it up, and be true cause thats where you shine the most. And remember, you are still and always be your fathers son.

[@sheathompson8896]

I've watched this show tons, and never EVER heard a better contestant. Excellent musicianship. Love the song!

[@oliviamckinney7543]

Him: *sings the first word* me: *presses button even though I’m not a judge*

[@mossabelel6701]

He is incredible. I searched and didn’t find this song has ever been translated or subtitled in Arabic or Kurdish. So I’m now working on it to translate into these languages ❤️❤️

[@jarawegerif8715]

Never heard anything like this before, this is so beautiful!! You could hear the pain in his voice❤️

[@srivishnukousthub762]

Definitely your dad would be proud to see you sing down here...what a man!!🔥

[@Rumbubbles]

What talent,His vocals are sick I couldn't even bring myself to watch this show when they cut him. But you know what, He didn't need them.

[@rustyy5558]

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you the winner of The Voice right here. First time I have seen this, this!!!! is nothing short of spectacular. Wish you all the luck in the world sir, and if you do not win..so be it.... you will still have a successful future in music, whether as a performer, songwriter and dare I say producer.. you have it all....I do not often say this ..I will pay money to come and watch you in concert..keep going and keep believing.

[@jefffloyd8800]

Would've had him as odds on favourite after this, can't believe he went out

[@neddyelkhoury3462]

Plain bs tbh. He was way better than the other guy, no disrespect.

[@mylescahill3963]

The other guy was an average rapper. Ben can sing, rap, play guitar and write his own songs and they let him go

[@bhavinb.artstation]

He went with the wrong judge to begin with I swear if he would have went with Olly he was the perfect judge for him !

[@tama9560]

Oh wow he is incredible, I’m going to follow his journey because I know it’s going to be amazing and I know it’s going to continue long after this show is over.

[@michealmcqueen8362]

Just simply spectacular!

[@mitalisamdariya6084]

Omg this is one of the best voice auditions i’ve heard he’s so incredibly talented

[@lewthrasher4194]

That was awesome. My Grandpa was my Dad and he passed when I was about same age. So it's like your song was written for me in a different light. I can't wait to hear more from you.

[@dhieglo]

Amazing Soulful Performance and Given Me Tears without Onion on my side. Bravo My Brother

[@TurboTerrence]

Can i say this is one of the realest and best originals ive seen in all these years on the show!

[@foxkingazod6767]

Just wow. Feels like a 21 pilot song. Amazing

[@darthattenborough1145]

This guy is mega talented on so many fronts. The voice, song writing, rapping and guitar playing.

[@valeriehunt4422]

Benjamin, I would buy your songs/album in a heartbeat and think that Will made a mistake in not putting you through! You can not only rap (which I don't actually like), but sing and write. His loss. Keep up the amazing artistry that you have - you are amazing!

[@riessestewart1778]

I listen to this on repeat. The long note is incredible

[@TheSpikebaby]

What an outstanding young man and beautiful story. Very talented. Glad the judges all turned. I hope he goes very far. Congrats. Beautiful ❤️

The voice uk doesn’t like unique they like pretty pop stars

[@Liz-vd4kz]

What really no

[@ruheekhan6456]

Literally Benjamin should have won the battles

[@madeleineh2386]

He should have chosen a different judge!

[@yangerjamir0906]

@Aaron Austin, that goes for all the music talent contests. The few unique ones that go through they turn them into the same generic pop artists. Music industry has been gone down the shitters for over two decades now. Uniqueness and artistry is not rewarded anymore.

[@glenngodecky4555]

you feel the emotion in his voice. Beautiful

[@msh12319]

I always wondered if I’d hear anyone like Ben Howard and his kind of originals But this artist took it to a whole new level, be it his voice, singing, flow of lyrics or his guitar skills. Brilliant, just brilliant !
