[@boombaam5230]

I notice from the start

[@naomi_light01]

This is the best contestant so far on the voice She's just 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@user-ig7dw2go6k]

The conviction and authenticity of a 13-year-old, the presence and guidance from her mother, and the love and humility of her father are beautiful to witness. Bless her and her parents. And that crown of hair, dang

[@creativequeen8371]

13??? 🤯 OK! I'm still in shock. The way she gives it her all emotionally, at that age... what an old soul! 🖤 Her voice definitely matches her emotional intensity. Both so powerful and striking! ⚡ What an amaaazing singer!

[@cleudabatista4693]

Yes me too she look 17 years old girl

[@AysmanioSantos]

She is 17 years old, at least that's what it says on her youtube channel description - imkennedyholmes

[@juchlu3081]

She has a beautiful voice, not childish at all. And she is able to put a lot of expression in her singing. She is amazing, I just fell in love.

[@cynthiamaynard2234]

I agree

[@nkwasibwebrian4993]

For sure

[@fikileroma1478]

Jenniifer and Kennedy together , its abomb.

[@ChibuzoWilliams-nw4hn]

Am in love already ❤

[@rickddoc6156]

A mature voice when she speak and when she sings, way beyond her age, simply great.

[@unitybull7985]

Commanding a stage at 13yrs of age, that's some Michael Jackson stuff. This was not an audition, this was a showcase of future performances & events. ❤️🖤

[@pulcheriemimi5631]

They look so alike . Jenifer is the 13years your sister ?

[@chrystalgall537]

I still can’t get over the fact that this young lady did not win🥺but she is already a star and a winner to me🙏🏾🌹✨❤️

[@AngellaBucknor]

JAMAICA IS HERE That's why I dont follow competitions the best persons never win WHY????

[@rainzang1743]

I see a young Whitney Huston standing there singing to the world

[@allanchurm]

yes ..and she is only 13 years old ( superstar once the song writers start producing songs for her ).. that last bit with the song being recorded reminds me of a tamla motown hit.

[@smarttechliving9890]

Whitney Huston reincanation, I think

[@lilbopeep6457]

@@smarttechliving9890 Damn right!

[@c.scriba]

Sorry, but for me she's better as Whitney Houston 👍🏻

[@fannydad6123]

Its also my first think after a few seconds .... this is the new Whitney, this ist the new big thing. Unbeleavable .... i cant hear a wrong note in all her songs. Also her performance with the dancers ..... like a professional after 5 years in business. And she is only 13/14 years old!!!! I am sure she is one of the top 3 talents of all times of the voice - worldwide!

[@marymcbay4226]

She's a younger version of Whitney, her performances are always flawless.... amazing!

[@unitybull7985]

When she sang Wind beneath my wings I thought of Whitney, and the next performance was Greatest love of all.

[@janeh3134]

My first thought as well. Damn she is reborn. Yes an old soul. 😍 ❤️❤️❤️

[@faheemgrant2811]

So true

[@bongiwendlovu6814]

She may not have won but she is a born star.her performances is out of this world ❤

[@bongiwendlovu6814]

Who was she up against in this finale for her not to win??she is a winner to me cos her future is too bright.

[@kinniemanyeh9601]

This girl is a true definition of 'The Voice'.

[@ameliarobinson7701]

She’s only 13 and she can dance whilst singing and her voice doesn’t change at all, she is awesome!

[@n.h.waliasnicki6647]

She is like the mini of Jennifer Hudson 🥰 so cute and great Voice ❤️

[@maryjoytutor1005]

u are right

[@pourladentelle]

Their outfits even matched! Lol

[@gleadhill79]

I absolutely love that her family are in awe of her and actually let her know that she is amazing! She comes from good seeds and she's going to branch out far and wide!!

[@trinidadpascual8908]

The thirteen years old girl a participant has a golden voice and sing like a professional singer. For sure she will become a greatest singer like Whitney, Celine, and others.

[@maryjoytutor1005]

[@susanscarlett]

This young lady is talent overload. She's already a winner in my books, even if she sang a lullaby. Amazing.

[@tbtbs.]

I'm soo surprised she didn't win, who won?

[@daisymae6]

[@mariaauggustadomingos3383]

If this girl not becomes the new international pop Star, The Voice need to re-check something inside the program. The power of her voice... The level of control she have with the tuning and breathing Her performance and presence in stage... Her confidence... Her beauty... and she's only 13th🙌🏾

[@sergiopascale3487]

I saw & hear an incarnate of the greatest singer of her generation - The Whitney Houston Phenomenal Kennedy Holmes!

[@theresawright8140]

Absolutely!!

[@omigiedaniel8444]

This is pure talent.. she was obviously brought into this world to sing and entertain

[@johannesaid244]

Get that girl a pro vocal coach, and she will be unstoppable. You can hear in her voice that she have it, the seeds, just like those great divas, Whitney & Mariah.

[@512Squared]

Feck, she has more than just the seeds and for sure she's already had a vocal coach. You don't know what you're talking about. Yes she can go further, but to imply she's only got the beginnings of a talent... Stop being annoying. She's better already than a great many pros. But she's got the possibility to be among the very best for sure. As ever, she needs the right original material.

[@harrietcaram5208]

Who else notices her dress in her first song with Jennifer Hudson ✅🥰❤️❤️❤️ almost the same outfit🥰

[@julietjustinerukundo5994]

The way she combines dance, vocal balance, emotional maturity, and expressiveness make her a FULL ,,,WHOLE...PACKAGE! Kennedy is shooting past the stars!

I lllloooooovvvedddd watching how she just brought that performance and music concert spirit to the stage every time. that's the money worth of the audience. like it's just beautiful to see that we know it's a competition to see how well the person sings but it's also music you're performing, you should put on an amazing show . and ohhh Kennedy did not disappoint one bit. SHE IS A WHOOOLLE STAR PACKAGE ..NOTHING SHORT . I really pray God blesses her with a blooming music career if that's what she's doing. like she deserves it sooo much. like we would look forward to her music. the last song, 'confident' really is her . she really is confident in her gift and it shines through her.
