This is where the lads voice comes into a class of its own. Beautifully done.

[@marysailor9100]

Woohoo #TeamIsaiah from his first audition he's got this he's going to win

[@briannajohnston8494]

This made me cry! Such an angel

[@halag]

That is one amazing vocal from a 16 year old. He has a lot of control, depth, range and texture. I love his "bell like" quality in some parts. This boy is gonna go a long way and he will have Adam Lambert's help for as long as he needs it, I can guarantee it. So will Amalia.

[@tanizzlmanizzl9738]

Amazing ! australia look like we have found our winner 🙌🙌

[@kayhinton6487]

Adam is a real star and he's created another one, right here, right now!

[@livcaye]

The whole world needs to bless their ears by hearing this aaaaargh he's sooooo good it would be stupid if he didn't win!!!!

[@moonlightmercy1851]

That one disliker doesn't know what an amazing singer sounds like

[@falkirknproud2293]

Moonlight Mercy up to 4 dislikes but i reckon the main man Sam Cooke would be pressing that like button:)

[@halag]

You are correct. Most likely a couple of Vlado fans ROFL

[@DoraTran]

[@NG-sz2xi]

lisa jaye thanks for voting my friend

[@eyeshowyou]

Great voice. Great looks

[@chezzasan2730]

1:45 that part when he held that note and his expression made me cry :'(

[@1toshi32]

I didn't know he even existed till a few minutes ago. I am spellbound. For such a young guy, his voice is so mature and so mellow. He's only going to get better as he gets older. Brilliant.

[@cndungu]

I love this kid so much!!! What a beautiful voice!

[@Sarah-gv7yd]

love love love this cover

[@Scheherasad]

great voice, I am happy that he won and that he will now be on ESC but the only version (+ the original) I love is Adam Lamberts version

His mentor adam lambert made him grow vocally

[@solangebarranco8405]

[@luizaarezende]

Filho de peixe, peixinho é! Isaiah killed this song just like Adam killed it too on American Idol! Good job, man!

[@taurean420]

Everyone who is loving this should check out Adam Lambert's version :) yes he also sang this very song as a contestant

[@inesmdq4619]

Maliha Yes, I love the version of Adam

[@taurean420]

inesmdq it's so iconic!

[@9lives253]

Maliha Sallahuddin 0p

[@milenadenz4216]

sooo good😧🔥❤

[@dahanabellot7317]

He has a voice

[@lilatomasi7459]

When he lets go of what he is clearly holding back, and sings with feeling, he is phenomenal!! Just being able to hit the correct notes is not enough, the delivery has to be with feeling! To connect with us, the audience.

[@NikitaBogolepov]

WWWIIIINNNNNEEEER

[@toramenor]

This, and Adam Lambert's version - best covers of this song for sure!

[@anniavaliente5458]

Sam Cooke I was born by the river in a little tent Oh and just like the river I've been running ev'r since It's been a long time, a long time coming But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die 'Cause I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will I go to the movie and I go downtown Somebody keep tellin' me don't hang around It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will Then I go to my brother And I say brother help me please But he winds up knockin' me Back down on my knees, oh There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

[@theresemosa8500]

❤️

[@summerverity1300]

babe

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

He has a much nicer voice than Guy Sebastion.

[@maihothanh1881]

Adam Lambert also sang this song as a contestant in American Idol. You should hear him sing. Here the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHyxeqJ9l7VngtE It's incredible. I also love Isaiah's version. So touching

[@jacobianstangirl]

The staging is ridiculous, no function, I would have appreciated him and the mike

[@pankakesnotstellar]

Pleasant tone. No fire. Heavily Adam influenced singing style.

[@sarahlebon1649]

Good voice but just no

[@NG-sz2xi]

Ew

[@ricardofajardo3859]

not good

[@charliej3886]

Not be so ridiculous...he sings this beautifully. You may need to clean your ears out
