Rocker Chris James sings ‘Prince Ali’ from Aladdin on The Voice | The Voice Stage #23

[@bestofthevoice]

Did you expect Chris to sing this song? ✌️

[@NewPowerArt]

Nice sharing

[@samoyedpups4673]

Yes, because of the giveaway title

[@yassejen3122]

😵really good!!

[@izukumidoria6004]

Valid point

[@FairyGodMom7]

It's a bummer that his battle with Holly has disappeared. It was EPIC.

[@Max_Griswald]

Here's the deal, if the crowd is THAT into a contestant, you should probably turn. He obviously had a great voice, the crowd was absolutely loving him, it's a no brainer.

[@prettyponybaby2007]

Agreed! The crowd is honestly your biggest critic. If the crowd doesn’t like it, that’s a sign that it’s not gonna happen. But if the crowd LOVES it, like they did here, there should be NO hesitation. Just press the button!

[@mandarina2246]

Yeah in a show like The Voice, you're not looking for a good singer who can sell records in the pop/rock industry, you're looking for someone who is gonna make the audience root for them. You can be the most talented singer in the world but if watching you isn't fun, then why would I watch the voice? I'd be just listening to music on my own.

[@Mattinator95]

Especially considering in the end the audience is the one that keeps and makes them win

[@raphaeldantasbrazil]

britain got talent has the WORST judges ever.... Worst franchise of all in the world.

[@christopherorta8755]

This guy doesn't belong on The Voice. This man belongs on BROADWAY.

[@Zartsz6557]

Wow.?Broadway

[@emmajones5470]

He got KZbin channel don't now if still upload on there but check him out Chris James

[@Agent0FluffyBoxOfVoicesCom]

I completely agree!

[@anatea4392]

It was really amazing ... he wasn't just singing ... he was acting, he put me in front of the screen watching the movie again!

[@Rmtz_203]

That’s exactly how Robin Williams was

[@gadieloros6280]

the pianist at 3:17 was getting it 😂

[@Brass_Buckle]

Yes

[@TigerPrawn_]

I was just thinking how much fun the band must have been having!

[@dont_read_my_nickname]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@scopper_one]

😂😂😂

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

mission accomplished for Chris! he said it himself, he wanted the band and the audience to have a good time

[@shazzzzee]

He's VERY Jack Black-ish, and I love that he went with fun and quirky and sang it so well!! I thought the judges were choosing based on the quality of the vocals, not whether they approve of the song... 🤔.

[@arukorubasuke]

They also decide on the song how they could put him into the battles but with this Choice it's pretty hard to see what kind of Song would match

[@KristineMaitland]

@@arukorubasuke yes, but the producers would know what his repertoire was ahead of time.

[@KristineMaitland]

Watching this yet again in 2023. The thing to remember is that Prince Ali is NOT an easy song to sing. The diction alone is tricky.

[@zgubidanka9635]

I agree.

[@louiswindsor7334]

Especially on your own it's a.very ensemble heavy song

[@madelinecahill376]

This is the most entertaining audition Ive seen on the voice!

[@AkatsukiLink]

All I can say about Chris, he has the very same charisma as Robin Williams! He also has the voice. His audition was more than perfect! It was Genie-us!!

[@bethreannexo]

exactly why Olly was perfect for him, his performance on I Wanna Be Like You with Robbie is exactly what came to mind

[@Kafj302]

the fact he is ACTING and DANCING is quite the feat, and some singers just stand there

[@MiamiTots]

I will never get over the pure joy you see from the band while they get to play this lol

[@aleveraj]

That was such a GREAT call on Olly!! He was the only one that saw that all the right elements were there: huge voice, awesome intepretation and tons of fun, what else can you expect?!?!?! This guy deserves to go far in music!!

[@mikejaqua4604]

This is how to audition. Go out there, take a chance, and give the whole audience a great time. 😀

[@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993.]

Man was having the time of his freaking life.

[@LaLa-qb2ps]

The other judges were crazy not to push the button. It wasn't just the song, it was his personality.

[@annamobrashear]

He just needs to take himself straight to broadway and audition for Genie! That was amazing

[@therealfilmnerd]

He was dancing while doing this, it would be so hard to do while dancing and bobbing up and down, that was incredibly impressive

[@Rakmandra]

there is something in his voice that gives me goose bumps and makes my eyes water ... his performance in the battles just wow

[@AkatsukiLink]

He has the very same charaisma as Robin Williams and the voice as well.

[@Silver-eo5vh]

I don't get it, why did only one turn for him? His energy, his voice made the audience stand. Besides, unexpectedness should be key to a good singer

[@degov5]

That's the flaw with this show design. The performers energy is a big part of a successful performance, and ignoring that and focusing on just the voice seems wrong to me.

[@Tcrumpen]

Well Will I Am is not the genre Chris really does, nor is Tom Jones

[@nosson77]

Because its a musical. Its that simple.

[@nightfrost1891]

@@degov5 this explains why a lot of of people on the voice tend to not be successful in the long run because you kind of have to have the full package to be an entertainer and just the voice actually doesn't cut it

[@homensdoocidente]

Judges went jealous

[@dr.topgun]

One of the best blinds ever, no doubt about that! I rewatch from time to time, just to feel happy!

[@awarland65]

Never expected that song. Unfortunately he didn't get through the battle. But what a battle it was

[@Miss-Mel-Rose]

DUDE! Being a GINORMOUS fan of Disney, I would have turned around so frickin' quickly! And the fact this guy Chris can sing different genres of music is awesome, he's got talent and seems like a genuinely cool fella. I love the energy and passion he's got and I would totally be his friend in real life! Also, anyone besides me get strong Barley Lightfoot (Onward) vibes from him? 😃😃😃

[@skystorm3966]

He got the voice and the stage presents 😍amazing!!!!!

[@maricharesca9044]

I love how he sings prince ali.. thanks olly for turning

[@JuanDinner]

Nice, the only one who turned for him was Prince Olly.

[@firestorm-ck7os]

I hate that this made me laugh

[@JuanDinner]

firestorm 0108 I’m glad that I could make you laugh

[@immamuellokant138]

John Cena I laughed hard bro, get happier than ever now.

[@JuanDinner]

Emanuel Kant you make me happy :)

[@Brass_Buckle]

*cough cough "Ali" cough cough

[@zackaryxbinks]

I loved Chris. He was so good on this season. His battle round was great too

[@davevd9944]

And that is a good guy. Many people want to go out and do what they want to do. But he stepped outside his usual comfort zone and chose instead to entertain the people watching. A true showman

[@nkervmedia]

I love this dude’s fuck it, we’ll full send attitude. Like mad respect bro

[@gadieloros6280]

this is now my fav the voice audition 😂

[@matthewpaulh]

He has a voice and personality all i need, probably one of my most rewatched voice performances. I was a music composition major and feeling the music and crowd is performance as much as perfect technical choices

[@KermitSpillsTheTea]

This guy took the time to learn this song. Respect👌🏻

[@cnovikamaharani]

He could be English Jack Black. Producer please hire him! Btw nice turn, Prince Olly!

[@andylukman5533]

Man, he can be more actually

[@NO-sq7no]

This is so FREAKING good I cried no lie

[@jettec9411]

Love how mush Olly enjoys the song 😊

[@RedBlitzen]

I love that he's an audiobook narrator.😊

[@teabaric4402]

We need to switch that cover in original movie. PERFECT man !!! Perfect! i'm in love

[@austincrago2174]

I can’t stop watching this, absolutely killed it

[@drayely]

He should play the genie on broadway!!! Iv seen Aladdin on broadway twice now and as much as people clap for the current genie he’s no robin williams! Anyhow this audition tape was certainly better than the current genie is able to do on broadway now. You should definitely apply !

[@EdertheJust]

He wore his Sundays best for such an amazing occasion.

[@adiaguilo4927]

He was absolutely amazing!!! And what blows my mind is that he did even better in his battle but Olly didn't even pick him.... personally, i think it was an unfair decision bc a singer/performer like him is hard to find & so great to watch and i feel like they underestimated him. Not happy with him leaving the voice after only two performances

[@Not.Smart.]

Now I know why they started to smirk 2:13 you are the best man 🤣

[@dantiwolf]

This is amazing.

[@laytonjones2093]

One of my favourite auditions

[@LocutusBorgOf]

He's a bona-fide rock tenor with a solid quasi-operatic voice

[@beverlylynchlynch5603]

Amazing singing and dancing wow

[@williamfairchild7439]

I do like the song Prince Ali from the classic Disney animated film Aladdin and it's one of my favourites

[@thelonelyman1600]

The fact the lass said he was crazy this lad is talented

[@acloudonthebluestsky9687]

damn, that energy is FIRE bro they not turn because it's not in their genre, chill people

[@blondeblunt9650]

AS IF IT TOOK THEM THAT LONG TO TURN ?!?! WTF! THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@hallucinati0n]

What a performance !!!

[@immamuellokant138]

He has the stage light in him doesn't he

[@sollerhollersoulblade6126]

This Guy is the English version of Jack Black 😆

[@sollerhollersoulblade6126]

@MrSK 🤣

[@sconaldo7]

He's my hero

[@byciechronic]

Absolutely brillant !!!

[@heatherrenee7653]

lol I love him

[@aligulsan1897]

i know this man has 10000 hours in dwarf fortress but i cannot prove it

[@deannakinsman6790]

I absolutely adore Olly and Emma Willis❣❣❣

[@andrecoxa]

This reminded me of when Olly and Robbie Willians sang I Wan'na Be Like You at the Graham Norton Show!

[@jaredfalk7701]

This is 10x more fun to watch than a diva pop star.

[@bergerle]

I can't tell you what it is, but I feel like this dude was just made to sing Disney songs. I first watched his Battle-Video and immediately thought: "please let this guy sing Hakuna Matata!"

[@sued616]

He,s cool loved it

[@arukorubasuke]

Now you have to show that Dragon Ball Guy from The Voice Thailand. From Disney to Anime would be perfect

[@blankie1996]

The Voice Peru has also had its fair share of anime OPs sung at Blinds. Would be great to see a “Best of Anime songs” soon.

[@tz19911]

His is one of my favs

[@thebluestig2654]

This guy got robbed in the next round after this. The judge chose his opponent even though she was off key and flat the whole time.

[@billzapor5338]

Enjoyed it, ty!

[@FabriceOnno]

I really think he should've won the battle that followed...

[@ALW4YS_TIR3D]

HE LOST???

[@KristineMaitland]

​@Sleepy yeah - it really sucked considering that he gave a great performance

[@jamesbedukodjograham5508]

He is a great singer and even we in Ghana do admire his talent somehow in the short and the long term. Moreover his English Skills are also nice and good you know,

[@tomkad26]

Spectacular fantastic show ♥️😍

[@cassiefriedman1446]

LOVE YOUR VOICE

[@ramirocastro7260]

i loved

[@PhO3NiX96]

Damn i was expecting I'll Make a Man Out Of You from Mulan, I was pretty close actually

[@ravyn7417]

8t says the song in the title

[@hazelnut5849]

Prince "Olly" lol

[@stratelite1337]

We really need more rock opera.

[@mikestevenrfs7374]

This is OMG voice😮😮😮😮😮

[@waltdoherty540]

Maybe it was unexpected, but whatever, he's good!

[@syko2695]

How this man didn't win the Meat Loaf one is beyond me

[@KristineMaitland]

I agree with you there.

[@alezenderwong6645]

They literally pre-judge the moment the song hit the speaker.

[@thomasnicastro673]

I would hear this version over and over again, i don’t have a favorite song in Aladdin because I love them all to bits and pieces, even the deleted ones (Proud of Your Boy, for instance). Rock n Roll isn’t the only energetic source genre because George M. Cohen and Florence Ziegfeld invented it. Alan Menken and Howard Ashman really know how to bring an energetic song and Chris it home with a wrecking ball against a brick. I hope my comment makes sense on my last one about… what I just said.

[@ghostbusters4013]

Very artistic very beauty voise, very talented!!!

[@starfiresreign]

That was awesome

[@fxchsiia8354]

PRINCE OLIIII

[@micahmm.4076]

Very cool 😎

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

Me, a dad joke enthusiast: Olly turned because Chris kept singing PRESS, OLLY

[@NewPowerArt]

Wonderful sharing.

[@fkchanneltv2057]

woow nice vioce

[@FairyGodMom7]

His battle was EPIC and has disappeared from youtube unfortunately

[@KristineMaitland]

It hasn't. It is part of a compilation of six Globe Voice performances.

[@ghostbusters4013]

Wonderfull man!!!

[@Nailsbyjo]

I’m surprised only one picked him! 👀

[@jonathanvince8173]

This showed so much skills that this singer Musician has. Now I put in a complaint about the so called modern version of Meat Loaf rock musical. Because it did not work the voices did not match the music including the lead singer. So I said they should had used Chris James. Plus they needed to stop making it like a futuristic space adventure as it does not work. I was right. They could had made it up to date without the trying so hard to make it work. Meat Loaf did two Albums that I would class as rock opera or rock stage shows they were that good Bat out Hell and then Back in to hell. Meat Loaf live was amazing and if doing a type of musical you need a caricature just like him to sing those songs and be those parts.

[@indoudoux2673]

This pianist 4:20

[@an_xon]

the judges missed out big time! Dude was a performer and they couldnt see any of it :(

[@abahkau3036]

Dan Ankroyd +Jack Black = " Prince Chris Ali " ! Olly pick him then kick him out .. ..but I will continue watching him again and again and again.. Becoz this guy is unique and talented .

[@blessedfromday1170]

This guy was like fuck being boring and standing still, singing some bullshit everyone has already heard a million times

[@akrammasrour]

KZbin didn’t recommend this, you searched it yourself

[@livbensberg9218]

That women was hard core jealous

[@jackkubrick7497]

Why did they take the video down of him doing meatloaf and totally schooling that girl lolol I was watching that daily then it just disappeared off of youtube.

[@KristineMaitland]

It's still up. It is part of a compilation of rock performances on Global Voice shows.

[@ahwakwani9179]

You should also showcase the voice India .......in your compilations ...if U could...... ( I don't think all performance of voice India is available on KZbin , may b on official channels website)

[@hypnogamer364]

You actually look like Johnathan the singer from way back in bgt

[@martavivi6296]

I just don't understand the comment "this is real? " prince Ali was good like another music.

[@joannahino]

Manooo como assim eles nao viraram de cara???? Ele canta muito

[@mynameislizzie08]

Isn’t that the grocery store guy from Raising Hope?
