Colet Selwyn performs ‘This Ole House’ - The Voice UK 2016: Blind Auditions 3

[@natbugart92]

Wth is wrong with these judges? A voice like that is golden in country:(

[@dusl0509]

you better check Jack Gregori in the Voice US.... a lot better he lacks dynamics

[@babyflufflepuff]

In the U.S. maybe, but there's not much of a market for country singers in the U. K.. If he is really serious about becoming a country singer he should relocate to America.

[@nathalielarsen2198]

+babyflufflepuff you'd be surprised.

[@vecernicek2]

+babyflufflepuff Did you say market? This is not about music anymore?

[@markieman64]

+Sean Sheep He was singing This Ol' House. I'd be angry if he didn't!

[@annelizebuitendach7523]

He doesn't need the Voice. He is now singing with the Gaithers. Beautiful voice and personality. 🙏🎶🙏🎶

[@jerrystevenskharlyngdoh5651]

Yes.. exactly...

[@rileysilosmusic]

Yup!

[@joelsimpson6218]

I'm glad he's with the Bill Gaither and their homecoming friends

[@mitzigordon3496]

So am I! Gaither will give him a real chance to build a career in Gospel Music. He has all the qualities of a great Southern Gospel singer. I have the DVD of him singing this song on one of the Gaither's Homecoming Video.

[@cschighschool1434]

🤝

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I couldn't believe nobody turned for him! Before he started singing I didn't think he had that kind of voice in him. He was amazing. I would love to see him on The Voice here in the USA.

[@thiskiwigal]

Well he has surpassed that comp as well. Once the Gaithers heard him, and Ernie Haase apparently, who needs AGT or BGT or The Voice. As to his size , well look at Richard Sterban of the Oakridge Boys, Tim from EHSS, for just two very slim but AWESOME Bass singers.

[@Realist656]

An Indian guy singing country on British got talent with an amazing voice. Man would've loved to see more of him.

[@joelsimpson6218]

He is now a part of GGS a gospel music group you can check out their KZbin channel, GaitherVEVO

[@elvisfdes]

Colet Selwyn is a Tamil boy of Indian origin, born in Scotland (his father is a doc there). He is a bio medical engineer. He presently shaking English towns and cities with his deep bass voice.

[@nesakumarchrome5154]

The uprightness and integrity of your great grand father Late Mr.Devairakkam and your grand father Ebenezer Asirvatham, your grandpa Rev.Ghandhi Selwyn's faithful ministry in the Tinneveli Diocese has brought you up in this position. I wish may our Lord Jesus Christ blessed you more and more. Nesakumar Justin, No.1 Rhenius Street, Palayamkottai.

[@bwlove25]

Really? On a show called "THE VOICE", they turned down a VOICE like that?? Clearly the judges missed the premise of the show.

[@ktwaits338]

It was too religious of a song for them

[@deemuigai2004]

Am shocked too. Or because it was gospel music?

[@benardmakori6924]

GOD turned it up!

[@uwharries2001]

Typically the British who lecture the world on diversity and acceptance are the most deluded and unwilling to consider anything not currently in vogue. This young man was a gem in a bin of polished paste and you threw him out. Well your loss is our gain.

[@martyfan11agnosticalienfan]

Not all of us, mate. (and by the way, I stumbled upon this video after watching a video of him singing this with Bill Gaither and Co).

[@cliveglover7343]

I didn't see Will I Am press the buzzer & yet he's American. 🤔

[@MsMimilala]

An Asian country singer there's a first wow... sorry no one turned he was unique 👍😊

[@szutyksosisback]

+MsMimilala well they didn't know he was Asian but yeah I agree

[@niggz977]

+MsMimilala Sorry but I don't know how you got Asian out of that

[@DasVERMiT]

+niggz977 He looks Indian to me and guess what... Indians are Asian.

[@niggz977]

+DasVERMiT and Australia is apart of New Zealand ! phfff

[@TheSmileyeli21]

+niggz977 are you so uneducated to the point you don't know India is located in Asia?

[@Anticrystal88]

I love this guy. He needs to head over the The Voice U.S., and let Blake Shelton have a go at him.

[@seamus1956]

He did it one better. He sang for Bill Gaither and with the Vocal Band and this song will be on one of the latest Homecoming videos. if this kid wants a career in Southern Gospel music, he's well on his way. If those that have gone home can glimpse what's going on down here, legends like George Younce, JD Sumner, Bill Lyles, Brock Spear, James "Big Chief" Wetherington, Rex Nelon and others are sitting there smiling 'cause this young man here to carry on the tradition of great Gospel basses - and we're the beneficiaries of his remarkable talent.

[@Anticrystal88]

+seamus1956 That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. I feel better knowing that a talent like his is being heard.

[@WhiteHatBobby]

The Stamps-Baxter quartet style originating from the Appalachian Mountains is big in the States, and the Midwest is just as big on it as the Southeast. When he sang this at a Gaither event, one of the first to give him a standing ovation was Ernie Haase. Haase is the son-in-law of the late George Younce, who is the best known vocalist of the song in the past 50 years. Also the band made a huge mistake by not giving the song a pure piano-only feel, as many of these Stamps-Baxter style songs work best on just a piano alone. He fits in the fourth cog of the classic four men and a piano style. These coaches clearly have no respect for the Stamps-Baxter style. As for Blake Shelton on the Voice of Holland US, one of his tunes is used by NBC for its premier motorsport coverage.

[@awesomeiceman344]

aw, I feel so bad for him. his voice is so amazing!

[@thiskiwigal]

Don't feel bad. Shocked yes, bad , no. He has FAR SURPASSED UK The Voice.

[@jonesageofresistance7172]

Your voice sounds like heaven to me. Wow! If it was the Voice U.S. than 100% I am sure that they turned there chair for you. Keep on singing more and hope to see more from you.

[@akshaypillai2504]

The name is THE VOICE and cannot chose THE VOICE

[@nikol8063]

he has such a special voice, and also looks like a good and kind person :)

[@puddinya...]

These judges wouldn't know talent if it was blared into their ears with a loud speaker. Come to america we have a special place for a guy who can sing like you. Bless you and keep going for your dreams.

[@marjanbismillah4771]

OMG.....I want to hear MORE. HE was the BEST of the night! What are they thinking?????? I hope he gets on another show and wins the whole thing!! If that was a country music crowd, the roof would have come down.

[@jellymulder]

I still have this performance stuck in my head!

[@periurban]

Colet was great, but as a banging start to the show this left a lot to be desired. I never thought I'd remember Jermaine with fondness! I don't think there is mu8ch I can say to reveal the hidden depths of Colet's technique, because all there was was depth! Nothing wrong with that but hardly demonstrating any long term ability. The show opener and no-one turned? Qh Well, I suppose that's honesty for you, but it hardly makes for scintillating telly!

[@Sriikanthvarmak]

Fantastic Voice :) Cheers Colet :)

[@johnculley5852]

A quality bass singer like is a precious commodity that should be encouraged.

[@haleyprior1155]

i absolutely loved this audition

[@kaceyhall1715]

wow didn't see that one coming love his voice

[@conrar1320]

He may not have gone far here but he's definitely been recognised. He's sang in a Gaither Homecoming; this very song actually. And in front of a few very famous Southern Gospel faces including the Oak Ridge Boys, Ernie Haase, and Gene McDonald.

[@mitzigordon3496]

Yep! That smile! Bill Gaither knows a great voice when he hears it! That series of videos are my favorite! I watch all three videos often. Have to listen to all three in one sitting, lol!

[@mitzigordon3496]

I listen to Angela Primm singing "What Are They Doing in Heaven" many times a day! Love her voice!

[@exam50]

Wow ! Man, his voice ! Just Amazing !

[@jakehill3747]

i love his voice the fact none of them turned shocks me

[@JONATHANP2]

He sing with Gaither's, it's enough

[@mitzigordon3496]

Amen to that!

[@laisayanesusu7287]

Totally singing his way to Heaven

[@bingbung]

That was awesome.

[@steevegnanasamuel]

His voice is amazing.

[@Ppoosible]

I was not expecting that kind of voice to come out of him...I mean, that's one in a million right there! All things aside, he is a really good country singer, and that alone should have been enough for the judges.

[@johndavid1395]

That was a Wonderful Performance Colet👏👏👏👏👏 May God Bless You. My 4 yr old son loves it and has watched it more than 100 times.

[@cherylg5602]

This fella has mega potential! OMG judges......come on!!!!!!

[@user-wq3xn6iw2e]

Amazing Colet!

[@natbugart92]

Is the voice about "the voice"? N not about the music they sing? If they choose based on that then they should then exclude blind auditions then, save the poor guy the trouble. Its biased and not right at all. The US judges judge on the voice not the genres.

[@courtneyvaughan6163]

In the UK, they pick rubbish coaches who really only want to win. So they go with who they think will get them that win, the voice does not matter. Just look at all of the great blues/jazz singers that haven't gotten through. They also seem to be very ageist. It's sucks, but nobody singing country would get far in the UK... Even if you're extremely talented, it's just not a liked genre here. So they get no turns. Those here whom aspire to be country singers are better off going to the USA.

[@mahapatrachandrakant]

+Courtney Vaughan I really appreciated your comment. Unless you are some Whitney Houston wannabe pop singer, the judges don't turn. Musical diversity and acceptance of a variety of genres are a thing of the past on this show, because the judges aren't competent to deal with something different. Same old cookie cutters who go on to have flop careers or nothing at all.

[@johnngle3009]

+natalie morgan .... yups agree with u ... the boy have amazing voice ......

[@elainesmith189]

Just love that bro n his golden voice hejust love to sing for jesus the hold family love u colet selwyn jamaican love u

[@atje43]

He should do RING of FIRE for an audition song! That would get a chair turn!

[@TreasureOne]

He needed to transpose that song up a step, but he is the best of a bad lot. Proves this show isn't about talent.

[@GoodMax]

Cute )

[@beverleyblanchard2848]

I love this guy's voice. A natural bass voice is rare.

[@OptimisticPower]

Great performance.

[@RC-ou9qg]

He sings with the Gaither Vocal Band so he made it 😊

[@flysolo7089]

this guy was amazing......

[@britturk123]

Go to America and make a big amount of dosh young man. Thankfully he is a brilliant Brain waiting to create very important things, he has much bigger things to do in this world than sing for the masses. But what a voice !, Absolute surprise factor and tone perfect.

[@jomy6170]

Because of 2 reason, 1. He is a Gospel singer. 2. He is brown guy.

[@jpenn466]

They didn't turn mainly because the gospel which is very sad

[@raggedystar8255]

That damned spinning O on the BBC One logo made me think the video wasn't loading -_- Awesome voice though! Certainly not what I was expecting, good on him :D

[@CSW300]

really good

[@FrenkSummers]

This was great. Such a young and rather 'skinny' guy, and than that deep voice as a total surprise. It's a shame the coaches didn't see him before he started singing, otherwise they'd surely be surprised and probably would have turned.

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

His voice reminds me of Avi from Pentatonix. Maybe he should try his hand at a capella?

[@joaquimmonteiro6382]

BRING BACK Tom Jones. This guy was excellent. Tom Jones would have turned for him. These judges are garbage

[@lipkinasl]

If this was on The Voice in the US I'm betting Blake Shelton woulda turned for this. The judges should have turned, there's lots of amazing bass lead vocal songs in country music.

[@lovestoryim]

The Voice is actually the money voice, it means the show was created to look for a voice which can earn money for the industry. And nowadays, the money notes are the high notes. LOL there is no place for a bass or even baritone shines bright as a solo performer.

[@koolkatzify]

I bet if Tom was still on there he would of turn for him why are these judges picking the wrong people

[@conrar1320]

The lower notes are a bit shaky but he is definitely talented. Can definitely tell George Younce is his inspiration.

Really liked this performance! You can tell the judges did too, but unfortunately as it would seem, not what the judges are looking for.

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

You hit it right on the head. A deep bass singer like this will never make the lives. It's just not what the mainstream music industry (and thus, the coaches) are looking for.

[@Aliceaustin67]

he sang with my son

[@omw2fub559]

UK voice is not about competition and polishing art forms, it's a business company, I repeat.

[@glorygracek.1841]

This just proves that most these so called "judges" don't know talent. Most of the judges they choose can't even sing that great. They can only sing if they scream. This gentleman proved he had the range, the talent and control of his voice all this out having to screech for a high note, or grovel for a low one. But from what I have read in the comments, God closed the ears of the judges, so he would come to America and sing under the Gather Group. The world would have tried to chew him up and spit him out. He was saved from having the gutter try and bring him down. But none the less, this was just a insult to his obvious talent.

[@dedicatedtoelvis5801]

This guy is brilliant, the voice is so biased they only put people through due to there taste in music not there singing capabilities.

[@mahapatrachandrakant]

What has this show produced anyway ?Non-entities? One flop after another? And after Tom Jones gone, does this programme even have any credible judges left on the panel? Colet has a fantastic voice but the judges are thoroughly incompetent with country music. Just high pitched screaming is what is welcomed in this show. Pathetic.

[@keaganburk5813]
