Jaz Ellington audition incl Ordinary People The Voice UK HD

[@uncledee193]

I still come back here 10 years later. Thank you Jaz for deciding to bless the world with your talent.

[@adrianpeart]

2024 and I still come back to listen to Jaz

[@nyprospect988]

props to the pianist for picking that up mid song. flying blind

[@polarweis]

Like it wasnt completely staged lol

[@michaelb9554]

HAHAHA! It was not staged... Professional musicians can do that kind of thing... Especially the ones who are good enough to get these kinds of gigs...

[@marias4086]

You dont even have to be a professional just a natural; think of people who can harmonise/improvise and dont even practice you just have to HEAR music really well. Trust.

[@strangescribe1]

@@michaelb9554 Believe me I play keys at an open mic every week and they want you play everything of the cuff.

[@notevenawe]

Most sing is off the Cuff/Occasion...with the bands listening for the key/chord to accompany/become part of the sound/background

[@LockeyThirteenYuuYA]

Commend the pianist. Damn so on point.

[@FancyFudge24]

Ikr!

[@alundrasrt]

When I need some good vibes, I always come here.

[@bengayle5262]

Still one of my favourite ever auditions. His voice was amazing. My favourite cover of ordinary people ever.

[@lolo_z]

Will.I.Am is the one who is making me cry when Jaz sings ordinary people,,,u can tell its personal for him.... Love from South Africa

[@gadget00]

true...he wrote the song; totally forgot about that. It was heavy for him definitely

[@waynec38]

gadget00 Was he crying because he was touched?

[@bonniestar4707]

+waynec38 I think so

[@waynec38]

Nicole Bonnett Ok,Ty

[@bonniestar4707]

Your welcome

[@95alanna]

I watch this every once in a while because this man taught me to sing for so many years and it gives me goosebumps to know that he’s appreciated by so many. Miss you jaz!!

[@justanotherblackkid1406]

OMG HE TAUGHT ME TOO

[@Jazzy_CJ]

igospel? anyone?

[@KirstenmarieEll]

Aww he would be so happy to see this! He’s just released a new song. Head over to his channel to see it!

[@zt7564]

The best singer ever on the voice where are you Jaz Ellington

[@kisahino1446]

Kudos to you pianist! I like the way the melody just slipped in, it made the performance extra special!

[@lauurax1]

love Will for writing Ordinary People. It's such an emotional song. Seeing him cry, makes me emotional. This song means the world to him and to me.

[@harrycase1421]

He was actually one of my singing teachers and I heard him a couple of times he's phenomenal and he's a great guy too

[@knlei1]

yea ok lmao

[@antoniosvasilellisneto379]

I think nobody realises that will.i.am wrote that song with John Legend. I feel like that added to why he felt emotional

[@seanforster1758]

And also regrets giving it to John Legend to sing. Will I Am knew the song was amazing but it didn't hit the heights it could have with Legend.

[@antoniosvasilellisneto379]

​@@seanforster1758 I don't think he regrets it at all to be honest. It was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2006 Grammy Awards and John Legend won Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his singing in Ordinary People that year as well!

[@seanforster1758]

@@antoniosvasilellisneto379 it's an amazing song which is why. Jaz Ellington sings it far better than John Legend and he's a random guy at an audition.

[@ddomina34]

A good singer can bring out raw emotion when he performs, you can tell by how will and Jesse were crying that he touched something deep within them

[@bonniestar4707]

I love how Jazz comes down from the stage to give the judges a hug as soon as he sees Will and Jessie crying. He has a heart bigger than his voice :)

[@WhichLuu]

This panel of judges is just godly!!

[@watro1]

What a gift. He gives Will.i.am a huge gift by choosing to sing Ordinary People, a song that Will.i.am wrote with John Legend. It doesn't get better than that as an artist. Wow!

[@paulinetejido]

I get goosebumps everytime i hear this. EVERY TIME.

[@Ghitt2010gs]

Had to come back and watch after all these years! And I searched for this lol 2/20/23

still moves me after 10 years

When I need some good vibes, I come here the pure voice is needed

[@courtneyhawkins4072]

Dam his voice is silky smooth, perfection..

[@annabelleyee6199]

Awww I love how Will.i.am turned a complete 180, from saying he didn't want Jaz to sing additional songs to completely supporting it when he heard that Jaz wanted to sing a song he wrote and had so many feelings for. These two renditions of "A Team" and "Ordinary People" are genuinely the best I have heard, and make me want to listen to them over and over again.

[@nathanmorris4551]

The piano player deserves some credit for his timing and skill, complimented Jaz really well :D

[@24jillianmarie]

This totally gave me goosebumps! What an amazing voice!

[@pedcie]

i can definitely feel what jessie n will were feeling..i mean those people who audition.. they are all just "ordinary people,we don't know which way to go"..that appeals to most of us..hopin' that this one shot will change their lives forever.

[@LenoresW]

The Piano was on point!

[@FAITHisAluckyGIRL]

Will is just so freaking cuteeee I want to hug him sooo bad, his face make's me smile so much

[@MFeriante]

um arguably one of the most powerful and emotionally impacting auditions I've ever seen that I can remember.

[@Gangztaa98]

Make Will.I.Am laugh and cry, make Jessie J cry, leave Tom Jones speachless, and make Danny jealous. Hero

[@Lilmizzcutie71]

he sang ordinary ppl so beautifully!! it was so sad seeing Jessie J and Will.I.am cry!

Such a great voice.

when a singer sends tingles down your spine you know they should be professional

I'm not sure i have watched this video.. I just love the way he sing. He ain't an ordinary people, He is extraordinary man!

If it's a ballad then yes don't

That is what music is all about. It should reach in and grab your soul and lift it up to the sky. A voice as good as that makes every hair on your body stand up.

[@SmokezZ908]

i would pay thousands to hear his version live

[@knoellegaudet2139]

he is absolutely amazing. i think people thought he didnt need the votes.. he should have won. gosh i normally dont cry for a performance... that was very touching and inspirational... keep singin jaz!

one of my favorite episodes!

His rendition of 'Ordinary People' is so far more BETTER than Becky Hill's Blind audition.

This is the way to see if a singer and producer is really putting his heart in the song and Will.i.am YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

[@azdeesimonamir456]

Indignant, ignorant crowd...they should have just silently enjoyed Jaz Ellington's beautiful rendition of 'Ordinary People'...their cheering and clapping while he belted out this number that's close to Will.I.am's heart really spoilt it for me...

[@teofilomaslucan1763]

First song: White lips, pale face Breathing in the snowflakes Burnt lungs, sour taste Light's gone, days end Struggling to pay rent Long nights, strange men As they say She's in the Class A Team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since 18 But lately, her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple grams we don't wanna go outside tonight And in a pipe she flies to the motherland Or sells love to another man yee yee It's too cold outside For angels to fly Angels to flyyy + #$%ahi hayyy#$% Angels to flyyy Angels to die Second Song: Girl, I'm in love with you this ain't the honeymoon We're passed the infatuation phase We're right in the thick of love At times we get sick of love It seems like we argue every day I know I misbehaved And you've made your mistakes And we've both still got room left to grow And though love sometimes hurts I still put you first And we'll make this thing work But I think we should take it slow We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go 'Cause we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow

So his name is "Jaz" Ellington... way back before pop and R&B, "Duke" Ellington was one of the biggest jazz composers during that time and is still celebrated by jazz enthusiasts today... transcending musicians through generations? Haha

Just Wow cant say more

[@stellap7624]

I never liked the song, 'Ordinary People' before I heard this rendition of it a few days ago. Now I watch this video a few times a day. I always loved the 'A Team' song, but this was the best I've ever heard it sung. What a fabulous singer! The audience should not have kept trying to clap in time with the music, their noise clapping and shouting was so distracting. Yes, clap, cheer, shout and stand up for such a stunning performance, but please hold back until the end. Jaz, what a great name as well. Plus, well done the musicians coming in so well part-way through the second song. That's hard to get right, especially with that style of music. When a singer can turn a song you don't like in to one you love, that's a very special talent.

[@joker199614]

That was beautiful. I cried

[@madman2u]

Beautiful, but I kind of wish the audience wouldn't clap and cheer during the second part. He paid tribute to Will by singing one of his songs, a song that cuts deep into his heart. IMO it would have been more appropriate with a silent audience.

[@shelleycowan8678]

Fully agree with you, it was such a special moment with that brilliant singer, incredible song, spoilt by the cheer and clap of the audience!!

[@shannonshannons7331]

I hope he is doing well for himself and his family amazing voice🥰
