Mike Berry performs ‘True Love Ways’ - The Voice UK 2016: Blind Auditions 6

[@Jvargas0026]

This was a Master Class in singing. No gimmicks, no runs, no shouting, no belting.

[@CricketEngland]

Well Mike Berry was a true professional and had a very good voce back in the 60’s

[@jimcannon1162]

This is an absolutely flawless performance from Mike ~ he deserves so much better than some crap TV show.

[@elizabethsheffield6609]

+Neil Palmer Mike really made his name in BBC's programmes Are you being served? and Worzel Gummidge. Before he was famous he used to live across the road to us in north London and would sing and play guitar to us kids!! and take us for a ride around the block and back on his scooter. The good ol days of yore - often wonder whether he recalls this?

[@jimcannon1162]

+elizabeth sheffield I don't watch the show nor do I know how it works, but I do know that it's an insult for those (presumably) experts to comment on Mike's performance. Mike beats the absolute pants of all of those wannabes/has beens/unknowns!

[@elizabethsheffield6609]

Neil Palmer ....no do I watch MSM crap...but I happen to have known Mike Berry when he lived across the road to us kids. Of course he beats the pants off those wannabees

[@faithfulforever6331]

Like Boy George with his one hit wonder song is in a position to be better than Mike Berry. And I never even heard of the other 3. Paloma? Who on earth is she?

[@jimcannon1162]

@@elizabethsheffield6609 I find it a bit of an insult to say he made his name in BBC comedy shows. Mike was a performer way before he was on TV; he made the charts on several occasions and he has even played with The Crickets. That's an amazing feat for someone who 'made his name' on Worzel Gummage!

[@welshsoupdragon3552]

He's too good for the voice!

I am a fan of Mike Berry, his such an amazing person ,He loves his members and every birthday,easter,Christmas ,he would send you cards, unfortunately, my husband passed away,2018.He took me everywhere to see Mike Berry and many other singers . Seeing Mike Berry singing ,bought tears to my eyes ,Such a tender soft voice that melts your heart .One of the best, I'll always treasure my husband's records .He has all Mike Berry records and CDs.

[@evancortez2]

I remember Mike Berry as Mr. Spooner from "Are You Being Served", he should have sang the song he sung in the final episode of that show :)

mike berry is a brilliant singer from who most of the youngsters these days can learn a lot. and he loves what he sings. go out and see him live, it´s worth it!

Why on earth did none of them turn, best performance any of them will have heard. "A veteran, like a professional!"

[@alexl6821]

8/10 mainstream singers (pop culture) cant sing as well as this man. Sometimes it’s not just about how well you sing, but whether they think you have the potential to “make it”,

[@Itsliz1984]

They also have to think how they would work with them

[@zephyrite1264]

They knew he had more talent and they didn't want to be upstaged.

[@edmoses2657]

I remember watching Mike as part of the "Are You Being Served" cast. It was cool seeing him here, wish they would have given him chance.

[@faithfulforever6331]

They didn't give him a chance because they wouldn't know good music or a beautiful voice if it hit them over their heads.

[@edmoses2657]

@@faithfulforever6331 His career started so many years before any the judges, it seems he should be the judge for any of them and see if they can pass.

[@faithfulforever6331]

@@edmoses2657 I absolutely agree. Those judges are demeaning to Mike Berry when they could never in a million years sing as well as he does. I enjoyed Mr. Berry's singing; as I always have, but those idiot judges are a disgrace!

[@jimcannon1162]

There wasn't a bum note to be heard the whole way through this performance. They wouldn't know a great performance if it shoved itself up their arses!

Well done Mike singing "The Master" Buddy Hollys beautiful True Love Ways, very few can tackle this.

[@believeinyourself7511]

I knew from the get go that they would not turn because the song was to mellow. Beautiful voice this man has.

[@aubreytimms2551]

Singing instead of shouting. That’s unusual for this show.

[@peterwatkins3502]

Couldn't agree more. 1960s music was for proper singers. Today they have to shout to camouflage their inadeqacies!!

[@DarkCornerProductions]

Mike Berry, you absolute wonderfully talented man!

He doesn't have to prove a thing - he is a quality singer ❤

He deserved the go through,this was an amazing performance.

[@mario.t.a.magnante5094]

Mike Berry is so underrated! He was a successful singer in the 1960s as well as a famous actor from Worzel Gummidge to Are you being Served!

[@Guarlaon]

He is better than many singers who have advance! Including some singers with same music genre.

[@RavenThom]

Oh this is great!!!

[@dirkmichiels5913]

We see him on television every day vtm gold Belgium, Are you being served, what an actor and singer, the performance he brought was very good, I don't like programs like this because it are never the good singers who have the most points from the jury, so stupid, shame you, his tribute to Buddy Holly, the best I have see in my live !

[@DaviFunes91]

Que fuerte que ninguno se haya dado la vuelta,canta muy bien.

[@thezanily]

Why the hell did a mighty pretty talented artist like Mike Berry even go to this stupid show?! He is far much better than all those stereotypes that qualify every now and then.

[@jimcannon1162]

I'm kinda thinking it was to make a statement, to make those stupid people look stupid! But...hang on...Mike is way too nice a bloke to do that, so Lord k ow why he did it.

[@streathamsoprano8025]

I remember him from Worzel Gummidge and the Blue Riband ads...

[@livingrateful]

How can they not turn for Mr Spooner? Oh l forgot it’s not about the voice at all, it’s about 16 year olds. Glad to see he still looks exactly like Mr Spooner and has a great voice. I’m a fan of are you being served in 2021. Would love to hear about the making of this great show from the only surviving member.

[@fortworth303]

Now early 70's - mike is still superb - the best singer that Joe Meek ever produced.

Mike still has what it takes, this is why I never watch the talent shows as most of it is rubbish, and a waste of time, often people are given spots on such shows to give everyone a good laugh at how bad they were

There's another video somewhere on KZbin it shows him singing the song on the show and the in the host had no idea who he was in the beginning. Which shows the kind of people they have on these talent shows or so-called talent shows they don't even know who these people are that they're famous. If these hosts claimed to be so important so famous in the entertainment industry very sad but mr. Spooner did good

[@jimcannon1162]

She ask what he does for a living then talked to him like he was some second rate British Legion Club cabaret artist.

Are these judges crazy...BIASNESS IN THE PLACE"

[@denaze09]

Tom!? Where are you!?!?!!?

[@periurban]

Before Mike started singing I prayed silently to myself - "Do something contemporary. Please sing something modern and relevant. PLEASE!" But sadly no. Mike sounded like a great 73 year old singer, sticking to what he knows best. I mean, he was accompanied to the audition by CHAS out of Chas and Dave [first hit in 1979]! Good lord. Mike has a beautiful voice, but why waste your moment on a song so hackneyed we could ride to the other side of town on it? I mean, Mike is only 3 years older than Neil Young, a year older than Mick Jagger and 5 years older than Iggy Pop! Just because you are a granddad doesn't mean you have to sing like one. Does it? Maybe it does. Oh well.

[@MissCagoita]

+periurban Yap, have to agree. But he's voice is brilliant, so classy! I think he has the potential to do something a bit more daring

[@connorgooner3796]

So you're saying everyone should be singing modern music? Hahahaha music nowadays is shit mate. Not that I like this but I'd rather listen to this than some shit like sorry by Justin bieber. So why should he sing modern music?

[@periurban]

Connor Gooner Oh come on! He could sing Adele or Radiohead and go down a storm. Justin B? Honestly.

[@annec42]

+Connor Gooner It's not going to get him through, though, unfortunately. Judging by past practice so far on this season's blinds.

These judges appear to be philistines by not turning but this was contrived. They knew full well who was singing and deliberately didn t turn. I ve seen this kind of thing on a number of occasions. They did it to a woman who was part of a quartet that won the Eurovision. They get tipped off as someone previously remarked in the comments.
