[@LadsandCas]

She really was very good. She seemed very confident and she had the audience from the very beginning. I really thought, for a minute, she would go with Olly. But at least they're very good friends. She could practice and take pointers from him at home!

[@gogakushayemi]

My thoughts exactly. She can have Olly as a coach without picking him. This way it’s 2 for the price of one.

Oh wow, I went to school with Lara George, we were in the same tutor group for year 10 and 11. It’s great to see her follow her dreams like Olly did (whom I used to work with). Wish her all the best.

[@trendymaths2467]

Are you still in contact with them?

[@iMann_iFail]

@@trendymaths2467 with Lara no, not since school. With Olly, I’ve seen Olly about as he is still local to the area and passed greetings but not properly since we both moved on in our careers and when he deleted his personal FB years ago.

[@trendymaths2467]

@@iMann_iFail it must be nice to look up to two people who you knew very well. It’s totally fine to go on a different path than them though, I’m sure you’re good at whatever you do.

[@iMann_iFail]

@@trendymaths2467 Yeah in the early days Olly invited me to one of his performances at our local pub which I went too. I know Lara and Olly used to perform together. There was another local lad whom tried out at Britain’s got talent, as he sung locally, his nerves got the better of him but our town certainly has turned out some talent. It is nice to see them do well in their field and taking that risk to further themselves. Aye I enjoy my career, I contract within Formula 1 Motorsports, I keep my singing to the bathtub haha

so many great things about this video- her singing the look on their faces when olly turns basically everything meghan said

"Oh Laura" Love that bit so much.

[@dolorescarreiro5393]

Olly is a successful man, but he never forget his passed , I love him 🙏❤️

[@Olivia3641]

I feel like she made a good decision not to choose Olly, because I feel like he would of fancied her more then the other contestants on his team.

[@haghendowdy4750]

even he knew it wasnt right for her to choose him

[@jimmyb.6102]

Yeah. It would seem like a conflict of interest.

[@dd3056]

While she shouldn’t have chosen Olly, she should have chosen Meghan

[@rebeccacrisp888]

I think he didn't want it to ruin their friendship and it would of looked like favouritism if he had chosen her in the rounds even though she's amazing but we all know how petty and jealous some people can be

[@SinfullyHera]

@@dd3056 I think she'd be better with Tom than "All about that repetitive song" lady

[@minnesotadisclife2075]

A song by the insanely underrated Jess Glynne and the pure comedy of Lara and Olly's friendship... This could be my favorite Voice audition.

[@SandraNelson063]

Tom Jones is a walking, talking university of musical performance. Whatever happens in her life, the time she spends with Tom is gold.

[@dr.chrisperry7757]

Pure golden opportunity for both of them. Dreams come true.

[@TheDarinw40]

Exactly the perfect reason to choose him she's done a lot already as you can tell and I don't think there's a whole lot Megan could do for her since she's pretty much a newbie herself... Tom is steeped in musical knowledge

[@hesamm9048]

Meghan was so excited then Olly screamed "Lara😀" Love her reaction😂😂

[@Yobrini]

Though it's been month ago, I still kee coming back to watch Olly's excitement @3:34. True friendship indeed.

[@BrandonCiCi]

Never heard this song before but a good song choice, definitely showed off her amazing vocal skills. Probably one of my favorite auditions ever.

[@kevinlopez1216]

Jess glynn is an amazing artist. Her voice is quite powerful.

When he screamed LARAAAA ❤️🤣

I love Ollie so much ...he's like everyone's little brother. Such a talented sweetheart

[@balasubs1]

She's got the rhythm in her voice!!

[@beckysmith9730]

This is one of my favorite blind auditions ever!! The look on their faces - they were both so excited and happy!! I hope Lara keeps singing!!

[@hottieschicken]

The way she bounces around when Olly turns around and then he shouts her name and they hug each other is so sweet. It gets me everytime.

[@cook1e70]

No matter how many times I watch this, when Olly shouts 'Lara' it still makes me smile 😁

[@rugby073]

She just has the most infectious smile!!! Can’t help but smile as well.

[@fabb4i2]

I love that the broadcaster used a song of his in the background in the first part.

Sir Tom. Doesn't say much. Just smoothly steps in and wins the girl. Swag!

It's so good singing in there while having your friends listening to you.

[@alysialiwanag8866]

I love that Olly didn’t make it about him. He let her have her moment.

[@hottieschicken]

I love how she sings so much. There’s this husky quality to her voice that adds an extra layer of beauty and emotion.

[@TheDarinw40]

I think they both realize that it would be better if she would pick Ollie because olly looked up to her early on.. and they both did not want that to affect their friendship
