The Voice Contestant loses dad to cancer after The Battles | Journey #39

[@TheVoiceGlobal]

Do you watch these JOURNEYS with ENGLISH CLOSED CAPTIONS?

[@sean_b_drummer]

The Voice Global don't need to, and yes, I'm from The States. 😉😁😎

[@Pxrcupine3]

Even i, french canadian, don't need it but nice videos tho 👌🏻

[@karennorris4891]

Being an american who never learned any other language ...I really appreciate it when English sub-titles are available in other countries..however, it does not stop me if all I can do listen the voices and the music :) it is still beautiful!!

[@MasterofScrutiny]

Subtitles really help people with hearing loss in the speaking ranges.

[@MasterofScrutiny]

And now that I watched the episode in Germany I highly suggest English subtitles. That German show with the two young girls was a little disturbing to me.

[@donka80]

This guy strugles a lot. First time he rejected, second time just got a turn in the last minute. Then lost the battle and lost his coach. Got a new coach but lost his dad. Man, life can be tough...

I love how Olly and Jimmy seem to have a good relationship - every time Jimmy is singing, Olly looks on the verge of tears - he really cares.

[@benwarner2940]

Tom not picking him was the best move tbh olly and jimmy were made for each other olly stepped up he became his older brother it’s one of the most impressive coaching performance taking a guy who was a bit unpolished and maybe the most emotional journey in the history of the show and helped him reach his potential

he must be come from a loving family, saw his dad still kissed his adult kid, so much loves

[@danieljohn9257]

Yeah, really. And that's one of the reasons he's such a good performer: not afraid to show emotion. I haven't seen or heard from my dad in over a decade. You kind of grow hard to it, eventually. I'm sure as hell not going to go out of my way to see him, and he apparently felt that way long before I did. Like father, like son.

[@Kamila25609]

We are kissing people. It is a way to show love. Hello from Venezuela.

So much pain in that moment 😢💔

[@animewriter8132]

I love how he isn’t using his dad passing away as sympathy, he isn’t saying “oh I’m going through this so I should win” he’s using the pain to fuel the fire, and make him have a better performance. He’s fighting through the pain instead of turning it into an excuse

[@SandiByrd]

I hope he gets a record deal out of this - he deserves it. I'd totally pay to watch this kid perform - his high notes are gold.

[@Andreyyxx]

If you love him you should listen to some Nothing But Thieves, I recommend "If I Get High" and "Lover, Please Stay", they did live sessions and they are amazing

[@bg3929Z]

Wow. after the audition my first though was along the lines of "this guy made it to the FINAL!?!", but his growth in his voice, his range, and especially his intonation have been INCREDIBLE. This amount of improvement on a show is beyond anything I've ever seen, and he truly deserved to win. Some people crumble under the weight of the world, but Jimmy became a diamond. :)

[@gullybear20]

bg3929Z Totally agree. I was kind of like meh at his audition, but as he went along he got better and better. Still not 100% my cup of tea but the improvement was amazing, especially considering what he was going through.

[@SandraNelson063]

This guy got his voice and talent out there. He proved himself as a good performer. Look at Jennifer Hudson, she came in 7th on Idol, and then went on to win an Oscar, Golden Globe, Grammies, gold records. Talent shines through.

[@tangodigitalsystems]

Jimmy's journey on the voice was truly emotional. May his father' soul rest in peace.

[@haileewasheredudez]

I already cried when he ran to hug his mom. Now he’s singing the song that was played at the memorial for my first friend who ever passes away when I was in middle school. Now I’m bawling my eyes out.

[@LS-jb8mo]

He sings from a place in his soul that reaches/calls out to this group of people who have been forced to join a club that they never wanted to join ....a club in which you are given a new pair of glasses that change the entire way you see the world and no matter how hard you try you cannot take these new glasses off...its the club called grief. And in this new club the world that you now see things are sharper - yet blunter - more brilliant - more intense ....everything...sights, sounds, scents, ....memories. But being a part this club that you never wanted to he a part of, begs the question - how do we go on? How do we carry on with such loss? I dont think the saddness will ever go away but the pain my settle in a place that you hold in reverence and you slowly begin rebuilding your life with a very different perspective. Thank you Jimmy for baring your soul in the middle of the pain. This life is going to take you to the stars - you deserve that. Cheers from Colorado.

[@SifuHallyu]

Couldn't agree more.

[@SuperZytoon]

You captured the pain how the loss of a Father changes everything from this point onward. My sweet Dad passed on December 21 of last year at age 98. It’s true that I have put on the veil of grief forever. Everything changes forever.

Cancer comes in so many shapes and forms. My mom made my favorite dinner, then the next day she couldn't talk. Two days after that, she died.

I am so.\ sorry. I say the things that will knock you on your ass are not those that are somewhat expected or something you could forsee possibly happening. It will be a phone call on an ordinary day as you are making burritos. Happened to me and at one point will happen to everyone. My dad died and after that (2 months) later, I received a cancer diagnosis. Pain is pain and it is real when it comes to grief.
