She looks and sounds like a future disney warrior princess

[@Rubylove48]

Nope. Disneyfication of life is what’s ruining our world. She will be herself in the best way possible.

[@avilik13]

Why does she have to be a warrior princess and not just a princess? Attaching synonyms of strong especially to girls of colour plays into a stereotype that holds them to a higher level of emotional tolerance and doesn't allow them to be vulnerable like their non-poc peers. I know your intentions were genuine and you didn't mean any harm by your comment and I hope this doesn't feel like an attack on you but just a note for everyone reading to be more mindful with their words as they have power. Nothing but positive energy to you 😊

@@loragantchev526 Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel are warrior princesses now? Sure Jan 🙄 you know damn well no one would be calling her warrior if she were a 16 year old white girl. Don't @ me if you don't understand what I'm saying.

Polynesian I believe. What comes to like for me is like Hawaiians

[@alissandra333]

Man, the Islander representation is basically non-existent here in the states compared to Australia and New Zealand. It's still so surprising, but really exciting to see them in media like this.

[@KD-sz5bx]

Um, you’re not gonna include my home state, Hawaii ? We got lots of islander representation here.

[@alissandra333]

@@KD-sz5bx Of course Hawaii, (I'm part Hawaiian), but it's not as prominent outside of Hawaii, or in the media on a larger scale as much as others. And not in the US version of the Voice.

[@sarkaztik3228]

@@yusufnawaz3793 Listened to the original for the first time today since I'm not familiar with the song, and it's pretty bad... Going from a very slow somber mood straight into a really bad electronic beat simply does not make good music. Would have been fine without that terrible addition. Don't know why people think they have to stick bad and generic electronic music into everything, but it simply doesn't work in the original.

I can’t count how many times I’ve been playing this on repeat. When I heard Johnny Manuel sing, I got excited and goosebumps all over my body. But when I heard this young woman sing, I got numb and it went deep into my core. There are so much emotional fantastic singers on this show. I love music and what it does for me.

I want to have this version on my Spotify I’m in love with it

[@Rubylove48]

Such a mature performance for a 16 yo young lady. dad must be proud. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽

[@_WhiteW0lf_]

Good thing, Kelly waited for what she was looking for, a female with a wonderful voice. If she agreed on taking on the male artist Guy turned for despite his team being full, she wouldn't have her on her team.

[@THORASCHANNEL]

👏👏 Get it!! super proud to see a polynesian younger sister perform and show talent like this 👌 Rest in love to your father 🖤

[@rben3832]

Kelly was NOT bullied nor peer pressured into taking that guy... How sensitive can you get yikes.

[@annabelsummer2643]

@@rben3832 I am very happy you would not have felt pressured if you were told by your friends to take a man you didn't turn for, which included your friend making statements like "you can't break his heart" , and told by the producers the only way he could get through was if you took him despite not wanting him, all whilst that man stood on stage in front of a live audience rooting for him.

[@Josh-jo3kz]

@@rben3832 I personally wouldn't consider it "bullying" per se, I think Guy was just looking for an easy out & confirmation but the act itself was nonetheless peer pressure in front of a live audience so I can see how some might consider it an act of bullying. We have to remember they're also friends/friendly but hopefully he's learnt something from his actions in hindsight.

Kelly is saving one of the best this season for the last! So much for struggling to fill her team at the start, she ends up with strong artists from different genres such as: Lyric McFarland, Masha Mnjoyan, Sapphire Tamalemai, Chris Sebastian, Alex Weybury, Mark Furze This team is packed with singer-songwriters, pop ballad/r&b, power ballad & soul divas, rock star, even an Australian folk duo- I’m excited to watch how Kelly will develop these artists!

[@luanaluana71]

From 1.35 where she sings low just hits me straight in the heart, it reminds me of someone amazing but I can't think who. And I listen and listen but Saphia must be so much better than who it reminds me of because all i see and hear is Saphia. Clear winner here x
