The Voice Australia: Rachael vs Adam - Over The Rainbow

[@DemeterRoseCraft]

I love how even though they're in competition with each other, you can still see the admiration on each of their faces when the other sings.

[@CrazyNalah]

Yes, so beautiful!

[@fernandamartinezmendez8427]

agree, I can feel it, it's just awesome ☁✨

[@sophieporter583]

True

[@zupcake]

the way that Adam looks at Rachael when she is singing is just absolutely beautiful! such a respectful and caring young man!

[@nechma13]

I wish they were a band, this was a beautiful duet that had me crying absolutely spectacular.

[@TheSvj5047]

This was not a battle it was a duet.

[@alicia_gnc]

Beautiful.. and true

[@HEROSMUSIC1]

1000 percent agree.

[@ferfisicoc]

:')

[@xXXKayaraXxx]

An incredible beautiful one 😍🎶🥰❤️❣️💘💗💙💛🧡💚💜

[@fernandamartinezmendez8427]

omg you're completely right, woao✨

[@mulroasted]

What a lady and gentleman ! both admiring each others talent and this is what is so beautiful not to mention this very very touching and emotional performance. Well done to you both ! When you reached those high notes I got the chills of pure enjoyment .Thanks Rachael and Adam ..I listen to this often as its puts me in a splendid mood . ·

[@MrTechrics]

+mulroasted If you like adam's voice search up his name on youtube (Adam Hoek) he does video game music now

[@mulroasted]

+MrTechrics....Thank you for your information have not been here for awhile..... sorry for delay.... yes I looked up Adam Hoek a few minutes ago as you suggested......... Thanks so much

[@littlegmod]

Every time I listen to this, the more I wish Rachael and Adam would record this version professionally for the public to purchase. This is probably the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard. Great job to both of them.

[@gustavoa.lodigiani4672]

I don't know who won the competition, but the duet was very beautifull, and it seems that both of them were enjoying the moment.

[@silverstorm1000]

That was the tough thing with this show. I love Rachael but this guy is also fantastic. It’s really tough to decide which is better. A lot of these “battles” I was rooting for both haha

[@Denis-oo1xq]

I usually comeback here and watch this when times are a bit sketchy in my life. This puts everything back in percepective and makes me realize just how lucky i am and just how beautifull life is with music around us. God bless !!

[@xtoc422]

So well said. I totally concur, especially about how things are now in my country, the USA. God bless J.D.

[@postalinVT]

Same.

[@1178728]

Wow!I think this is the best duet I've ever heard & I would like to consider this not a battle...if I'm a judge both of them are qualified to the next round...they sang so beautiful & I can feel deeply inside in my heart...thanks for posting this beautiful duet...awesome!

[@silverstorm1000]

I think she did better but his voice is still very beautiful. I know they have to make the show exciting but it’s a shame to see such talented people sent home.

[@banorafrank]

When ever I hear of this song " over the rainbow" I'm going to be thinking of this version. WOW

[@antongreen5414]

Peter Urand ME TOO

[@theolamp5312]

Peter Urand I agree - They are both great. It's the Eva Cassidy arrangement that almost all singers have been using for the last 10+ years. Check out Over The Rainbow Live at Blues Alley. I think you will be equally impressed.

[@Titanic_401]

No one will ever beat Judy.

[@soposopi]

he seem to be a really nice person... how he smiles every time reachel sings

[@bubblediy1018]

He really liked her look at his face 😭❤️😍

[@helpmycatsonfire]

Adam got screwed hard. Rachel deserved to win this but these two should have faced off as #1 and #2 in Delta's team, not in the first round.

[@timeyre9985]

when Adam first starts singing its mesmerising just amazing

[@Crrgz0]

so beautiful they both shouldve stayed! i never understood that part of the voice. Pit to incredible singers against each other in order to decrease the competition but let the not so great ones slip through by chance. This was a power duet.

[@skydancer76]

I agree I watch all of them from around the world and sometimes they let the best go. It should be a competition not a battle

[@tarbyn]

The smile that Adam has when Rachael starts singing is so amazing

[@Qichar]

It's hard not to smile at Rachael.

[@King-eg8qn]

Omg I'm actually crying! Please tell me the both stayed!!

[@calebgonsalves3866]

Kevin Martinez they didn’t, there weren’t steals on this season, he lost she went through

[@briseidarm1010]

Rachel is Beautiful.: ') 😍😍❤❤❤

[@michellep6417]

After she sang the “chimney tops” part and raised her voice it was amazing 😍😍

[@budisusanto8126]

,,

[@josephbasha2941]

I just Love this Beautiful young girl with her charming personality and hypnotising voice Je t,adore Rachael

[@thethinkingwife6185]

This is no competition at all! The best duet rendition of the song tha I've ever heard

[@125TMusic]

This is so beautiful. i got tears, just the way they both act as eachoth sings.. wow.. its great to see it actually sung together and not against eachother. just beautiful.

[@mayitrei]

Wow!!! A great battle! Not perfect, but great!!! It touches hearts...

[@TheBookstall]

OMG they sing so sweet! Adam, you're so sweet, singing and smiling at the same time.

[@antongreen5414]

Her parents must be so happy Rachel had this opportunity.

[@theolamp5312]

Anton Green Yes, & we are blessed to have heard her.

[@ChocolateApricots]

Agree, agree! More like a beautiful duet! So lovely together. Really about the soft gentility between them that gave my heart a bumpetty-bump.

[@jaymental1817]

Am I the only one who totally fucking ships it?

yes

[@val9801]

Jaymental Nope, I ship them too

[@wordsworth08]

Walked in the door just as this duet was starting on TV and... WOW. I was not expecting such heartfelt beauty from yet another TV singing competition. Superb rendition, Rachael & Adam.

[@superbrianna100]

1:37 - 1:55 Beautiful!! Made me cry when I watched it :')

[@kristiannordgard3055]

Hands down the best duet I heard in many years. Would be incredible to hear a studio version

[@BillyBarr8306]

OMG I almost just started balling my eyes out

[@xxzippyxx]

this song is amazing. this is probably the best duet I've ever heard on the voice, both on the U.S. version and the Aus version.

[@MrBigboy0674]

no words for it. perfect

[@VictoryAh95]

They sound incredible together. Beautiful song, beautiful voices, beautiful duet. Best wishes to both.

[@pauldiamond1270]

Actually, when I first heard them sing I thought Adam sang badly. Now watching it I realize that he sings it with a "haunting" voice which I now like. I believe he lost some of his dynamics by singing as a duet to compliment the song NOT make it his own.

[@toyshanger8945]

Paul Diamond same, I was a fan of RACHEL but hearing and watching this he actually took risk where she played more safe imo. Adam should have not been kicked out but unfortunately those were the rules and the favor was to the blind girl as the crowd favorite.

[@sonofagun7988]

I love you Rachel you inspired my daughter alot... thank you

[@TheCYmikey]

Am I the only one who thinks Adam's voice is amazing?

[@giank0666]

No, you're not

[@nicolerodriguez3503]

He´s fantastic!!! Both were fantastic!!!

[@karynboyd99]

TheCYmikey hes the one!!!

[@gracevella9314]

TeamEdge Markiplier

[@banjoman44]

No..He is completly amazing..and so is Rachael

[@williamwatts4769]

A song that makes you feel so very good, beautiful together, with respect for each other.

[@MsTkes]

Rachael is awesome

[@lovemyshaney]

I love the fact the singers get on with each other and seem to take pleasure in each others successes. Its lovely. Both Singers are incredible

[@jkmcochabamba4324]

es un ángel bella

[@lowelo3754]

Ya han pasado 4 años y seguimos aquí :') Admirando a Rachael :)

[@hit60s25]

Adam's voice is haunting....

[@Racechick20]

I think they both sang beautifully. Both their voices gave me goose-bumps. Their voices are different but they complemented one another perfectly. An interesting rendition of an old classic. Kudos to both artists and may they both meet success in their futures..

[@hannagrotberg2427]

Does anybody else know that Rachel is blind? All the comments are "Adam should have won" well give this girl some fucking credit. She couldn't have read the lyrics even if she wanted to. She did an outstanding job and is so very talented. She is truly an inspiration to young singers.

[@Denis-oo1xq]

Bill ..YOU'RE AN IDIOT !

[@ziraksajjad8030]

The good thing about the voice compared to the X Factor and other programs is the fact that you don't have a background on the singer. Most people don't know anything about the lives of the singers they listen to so it doesn't affect how their music is interpreted at all. The fact that Rachel is blind doesn't mean she should have won that doesn't make any sense it's a competition based show. I agree she was good but I don't think your reasoning is right.

[@roxanneclare6555]

I couldn't remember if Rachael was the contestant who was blind, I just remember her name was very familiar, (I didn't really watch The Voice so her name is all I had to go by)

[@uncleafrothafob]

being disabled doesn't necessarily mean you are limited to what you can do, they are both great singers

[@babymochi9529]

maybe she got the lyrics in braile

[@natzky21]

the best rendition ever that i've heard... woowowowowow... they compliment each others voices..!!!! love it muchhhhh!!!!

[@handasuhanda1658]

This one rachel should win.. but adam's voice very good.

[@afternoonbears6989]

Yup, this girl did it again, pulling on something super tender and making me cry!

[@skydancer76]

Racheal sounded great but should of found a different song for him

[@kkkkellay]

something about this performance and the match of the two is just so beautiful

[@schmonyon]

1:51 it was at this point . . . that adam new he was fucked

[@AishaKhan-zh9tr]

Lmao 😂

[@kristenstyles7552]

Beautiful, from one of my favourite movies sung by two Beautiful voices. Beautiful! xx

[@tsunadesenjuu105]

I felt in a fairy tale ._.

[@rbaleksandar]

Breathtaking. It's great to enjoy such pure beauty. Their voices are totally meant for each other.

[@TheAnahi99]

Did Rachel win?

[@emt.2157]

Yes

[@Nionivek]

+milly T Thank goodness. It isn't like untalented hack wins The voice doesn't happen. I am always glad when the best person actually wins these.

[@emt.2157]

well in the over all competition karess eden won. She was truly amazing though

[@urshadow151]

this is crazy amazing both has an angelic voices!

[@JacquesEllis]

Adam should've won.

[@christo123]

Never heard this before, Far from being perfect it was brilliant in all it's beautiful imperfections

[@ceebeh8164]

his high notes make me cringe....

[@willtheprodigy3819]

In a good way or bad way?

[@ceebeh8164]

His low tone was very nice to listen to, but the high notes he either was too nervous to sing, or just cant sing high notes.

[@eyebo]

By far the best performance of this song I've ever heard. My hats off to Rachael and Adam!

[@sarmadasco]

To be perfectly honest, neither of them have spectacular voices, like Karice Edens, whose voice is simply amazing; range, emotion, etc. However, with Rachael, we have to consider that she is singing about things, life in 'la vie en rose' and 'bluebirds, rainbows', etc…that she has to imagine, is forced to imagine in order to emote. This makes it difficult to be critical of her. Also, she seems so sweet and delicate that she seems that she would break if criticized. Adam, here in this performance, I am sorry to say, left me cringing. This song is a standard and there are only a few things one could do to change it up as it was perfectly sung in 1939 by Garland and everyone who now sings it, is compared to her, which is why Liza never sings it, as she has said many times. I do realize that singing duet with one who cannot see, must be difficult and nerve wracking because he had to watch her at all times to make sure they remained together and see, himself, when to come in and sing and not do so terribly well, that he seems a bully outshining a sweet, young, blond girl, who cannot see, per chance. She, though, I must say, sang the song very well and it's always emotional listening to her, because of her lack of sight. He, however, with the head notes and the trills and such, ruined his part of the duet. I feel it was awful, his part. One looks at her and thinks, 'oh man' then one looks at him and hears him and thinks…"oh, dear.' I can see why she didn't win as she needs lots of learning and when I heard her duet with Delta, in 'The Prayer'..she changed octaves, going lower, and it did not help her in any way. It, indeed, I feel, rather made listening to her, uncomfortable. Problem always comes back to, however, that in criticizing her, I sound like a bully, which I am not. Believe me, please!?! Am glad she did the show as it shows she has chutzpah and hope whereas Adam has dreams based in non-realitiy, and, for me, a voice not worth a damn and made worse by his choices. I really don't mean to sound insensitive but I think that a person with a handicap might feel offended if one used their handicap to cover up flaws, solely so one does not feel guilty. So, many ight disagree with me, but neither deserved to won but whereas she could have carried the song, alone, his contribution ruined the song. Head noted are hard and very few can do them successfully. He is not one of them. I am sorry if I sound insensitive. Was not my purpose. Adam, learn a skill. Rachael…keep working at it. Simply said. Peace, y'all! Now I feel guilty. I lose either way, whether I tell the truth or rather, my truth, or cover up because she is blind. So, this is my truth as how I saw them sing this song. Sorry for those who disagree. Peace!

[@peterdavis226]

Rachael has "kept working at it" with two successful albums and is working on another two albums which will be released together in the near future. I'm guessing one may be in English and the other in French or Italian, or perhaps a mix of both. Apparently Adam has a successful singing career back in Holland.

[@amigox4833]

Sarmadasco, its clearly something wrong with your ears and perception. Cause both of their voices are special, and she, she is producing such pain trough her singing i can see it in colors. This performance has such gentlenes, and power at the same time its beyond belief. It should be a battle, the judges even inspire that, but these two, sing like world class duet. So, yeah every voice is not for every ear, but beyond that, what have u achieved in the world of music to share such mindblowing criticism?

[@sarmadasco]

Amigo X You misunderstand. I think she has a good voice, but it is very different than the standard singer who sings, 'standards.' I cried at her performance, more for the symbolism within it than the actual voice, but it did reach me. It is not a criticism, but an opinion, my own. One need not be a cow to appreciate milk. Now, my question to you, why the hostility and bitterness and anger over a couple of lines about a young lady, mostly, we don't even know? BTW, in another comment about her, I go on to say how amazing it is, indeed more amazing….that she is blind and still able to sing a song about seeing the world in colors and rainbows, etc. I did cry at her performance. Believe me, please, when I tell you that I am not some cold hearted creep who goes around criticizing people and as I am a 'nobody'….well, then it shouldn't make a difference, should it?

[@rolandomingo6192]

what r u talking about this song is not having the most spectacular voice! what makes it great though the way they sang it and moved a lot of people--there is something about the 2---that makes them great! its just so beautiful

[@amigox4833]

sarmadasco I admit i did misundertood, and than i simply wondered, how can someone not like this, and i respect diversity and different tastes, but these two touched my very soul, so i came out defending them all guns blazing :) didnt mean to hurt or attack you. It was a very spontaneous reaction, i usually dont even coment. So my apollogies if i unintentionally crossed any lines.

[@fourfallingangels]

Calling the performance such as this one "beautiful" surely is an understatement. This is stellar!!! I've been listening for almost a hundred times already. Pitch perfect.

[@thatstheone87]

he is pure shite, shes awesome

[@sarmadasco]

I don;t know if I would say she is awesome….but I would say that he is, indeed, complete shite. Ruining a song that the entire world knows and is a standard. But his trills and head notes made it pure rubbish. She is sweet and her singing the song about images she has never really seen, makes it very emotional for us, the audience. She knows how to work it, though, as she had to know singing 'La Vie En Rose' given she is blind, would bring the audience to her. She does the same with almost every song. I do wish, though I cannot find it, the reactions of the judges when she reveals she is blind. I really would have liked to see that,

[@incognito568]

[@pandabear3821]

dont be so harsh he made through blind auditon can you do that

[@sarmadasco]

***** Below the belt….Panda….below the belt. I do appreciate the cynicism, though.

[@Ngockerz]

sarmadasco that's kinda mean. I think the guy was good :/ but people have their own opinions :)

[@aisupastar]

It was really beautiful. I loved how both of them really listened to each other sing

[@Jill8854]

Both Rachael and Adam deserve all the accolades they get..they have the gift of golden voices and the love of music...they both deserve the accolades of music worldwhide...God bless them both

[@endwood]

Out of all the talent shows ever shown to us this perf was the most stirring and talented!

[@fredahmed]

Adam if you read this please put a full version on youtube..its uniquely mesmerising and i would put it on loop all night to fall asleep to and dream of. Youre an amazing talent please dont give up ever 🎉

[@keith247]

Rachel Leahcar you are wonderful and every time I watch you sing " somewhere over the rainbow" I cry tears of joy, I wish with all my heart you do progress in whatever you do as God has given you a special talent, you have a very sweet spirit in you and my wish is to see you perform live, though I'll miles apart from you but feel very close. singers like give me strenght and joy that's there some lovely people like you on this planet. keith Ross

[@amhedlicona4258]

[@randomrefridgerator]

[@BrutalChick89]

I totally cried watching this... they sing so beautifully together.

[@KevinGarnettCollection]

fantastic. My first time seeing any The Voice stuff this whole series

[@MarkLuyk]

I love the bit between 1:36 and 1 56, also where Delta whispers "come on" just before Rachael belts out those beautiful high notes.

[@francoislevasseur1622]

le plus beau duo jamais entendu , une merveille , quel talent , des voix d une poreté inégalée jusqu a present

[@joshp7418]

[@ThePawarot]

[@tazzfitz8714]

that was the most beautiful audition ever no where near a battle more like a lovesong😍

[@jessmadam17]

What a great performance by both of them, need this on itunes

[@joselynm5634]

They should release an album together! These two are magic

[@jonnythunder75]

Maravilloso. Me pone la piel de gallina, aunque ya lo escuche 10 veces. Soy un admirador de Rachael Leahcar. Su voz es muy dulce

[@rodm.9703]

The beautiful thing about this video is the respect of each other

[@Headshots33]

That was amazing. By both of them. I would love to see these 2 perform together again.

[@pamtawhara7029]

That was stunning!

[@candiicane95]

This performance brought tears to my ears. I can't remember the last time I saw such a non-competitive performance. It's beautiful.

[@timsimpson5481]
