She picked some great tunes.

[@def13tr]

He walks on the edges of the notes, and each time you feel like he will loose, makes this incredible turn and flies into the sky! Amazing 🤩

[@jwvandegronden]

So beautifully said! That’s exactly how I feel what he’s doing!

[@sharr323]

When he "walks on the edge of the notes" at times he reminds me just a bit of Kurt Cobain. Cobain used to almost seem to be bordering on off key, but sounded so unique, if that makes any sense.

[@billybarrett3364]

wow I was looking for a way to describe his singing and I don’t have to any more you NAILED IT!!

[@booklover4731]

Wow, his voice is PHENOMENAL. A lot of voices are great, but they don't captivate. His voice is captivating and carries sooo much depth. Amazing. So glad he won. He deserves it.

[@patriziacathey605]

This is the advice I gave my son ! It isn't the best voice that's best...it's the emotion , connection, and to really feel it !!!

[@taylorswift281]

Anne Marie's song choice is always fits to Craig voice

[@keltoummokhliss9542]

Yeeees she is an amazing coach and I'm surprised cuz it's her first season on the voice !

[@robbyel3958]

It would have been interesting to see who he chose if Olly or Will were able to turn around. I think Tom may not have known what to do with him. She did a great job with him. He was great and his cover of Make It Rain is my favorite of all. Wish he would have done the entire song.

Not at all ! LOL She picked trendy songs sfr asked him to fit. She did not pick songs did his voice, but he’s so versatile he could adapt to such high songs when he’s clearly a blues singer

[@libbad7419]

Craig is special. He's up there with the likes of James Arthur in terms of musical ability, connecting with the audience.

i was thinking the samee

[@eideardpeschak7546]

That was the most emotional Billie Eilish cover of Lovely i've ever heard.

[@DramaR3]

I love how Anne Marie said she'd choose the very unique one. She choose him because of his gifted unique talent and she knows how to make him shine on stage and personality. The Voice, you should keep this kind of coach. So there won't be another "Claudillea mistake".

[@markkk1693]

sorry but what is the "Claudillea" mistake?

[@peternicho]

@@markkk1693 Claudia if he was refering to the blonde beauty girl who could sing opera and pop. Don't feel sorry for her a she has had a lucky escape from the music industry and fans as she already had a much better life in NSW surfing every day.

[@tinamoorehead2601]

Nice sentiment but once he said he produced his own music I peeked his intent which was revealed in the final when admitted the purpose of performing his original work. EXPOSURE. He knew someone would turn around for him and give him the opportunity to promote himself. They as well would benefit if he won. He did and Anne-Marie has bragging rights.

[@coastalbeaches7181]

The original song was such a banger, I didn't know it was original and till the woman said it and I was just so blown away. Such a good artist, loved the tunes

[@ReachingMyPrime]

Sounded like an Oasis track lol.

[@ewssw54321]

Same, loved it!

[@sharolfowler2859]

So much talent ,the world is yours young man....

[@timetravelingjukebox]

I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY TOO! Craig is a true artist!!

[@freekiwi6315]

The song is by Foy Vance an Irish artist but made famous by Ed Sheeran in the series Sons of Anarchy. Still this guy is super talented - a great version!

[@ChristianHisler]

I feel more of a connection when they are closing their eyes.. They are FEELING the music

[@connieeldridge1501]

Hi no no

[@ChristianHisler]

@@connieeldridge1501 what?

[@RetroGamingSweden]

As I agree in a way.. As a singer you also need to share that feeling with the audience. You will be able to keep the voice with you if it is your emotion for yourself. But sharing what you feel with the audience through your eyes, as actors in a movie, you will get the votes needed to continue here. On stage as a professional singer it will be different as you will mostly be an Audio Only thing. But yes I agree. Feeling the music yourself is a key thing to express them further through voice.

[@michaelstefanou4536]

Agreed. That was bad advice for a singer like him.

[@RetroGamingSweden]

@Gareth Tucker Absolutely true. Most people sing in the shower.. It wouldn't work too well while on a scene during live performance however.. I think..

[@Syd1125]

I don't see enough acknowledgement for that performance of "Train Wreck". Oh my gosh. To be able to lay down like that and still sound so steady???? He's amazing. Well deserved

[@bobbyfan418]

During the finals, who is that guitar player? I love how he focused on Craig. Small detail, to some. As a guitarist, I can appreciate that level of communication.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

Watching Ollie banging to turn but he was full up was priceless.

[@justanotherperson563]

I think his song "Let it Rain" is probably the best performance I have ever heard on any talent show. What an amazing talent!

[@melissaisrael3905]

Jayna Brown did a really good rendition on AGT also in 2018.

[@discettegolf3363]

Same. I’ve never heard someone so good on any of these talent shows.

[@stephaniesealy9375]

100% on your page there my friend, 100%!

[@davev3559]

Every performance was flawless, and then, "Lovely' took the audience out of this world. I think Craig Eddie is probably the best voice of all time and all shows. It only takes 1 chair to turn to reach stardom. Thank you for taking the audience on this incredible ride, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jayt717]

You’ve got to be high. Best voice of all time? 🤣🤣🤣 WTF 😂😂😂

[@aaronaustin9814]

He’s not even the best on the voice uk tbh

[@teodorcostinfita8550]

he was so sloppy more or less in each performance, I could pull out multiple performances from earlier years that show singers of higher caliber.

[@Hoseoked4Life]

The best voice isn't necessarily the most trained voice. Craig was raw, unique and he had great range...love the rasp! I'm partial to blues and rock and would absolutely pay for his music, *especially* after hearing his original song in the finale! The first and last were the best imo as Craig knows what suits his voice better than anyone else.

[@barbara-annperry5941]

@@teodorcostinfita8550 Can you sing better?

Yeeeeessss

[@koralovo85]

I got the same vibe. Immediately thought od Kurt. Also a little grit of Layne Staley too, especially in the last performance. Beautiful!

Why did I read this in a Scottish accent? 😂

DEFINITELY!

[@NatsuDragn33I]

Anne Marie's choice was solid. His voice is definitely a rare one, it can go so far and stand out so much in this day.

[@chijavier1869]

I think this guy is one of the best, very original, and creative winners of The Voice UK. I’ve watched his final song few times and I’ve never done it with any of the others. I’m even watching this video again now. I hope he’s doing well with his music. Wish him success!

Based from Olly's professional observation and his saddest emotions for not bein able to turn after hearing Craig's blind performance, was a forecast for The Voice that made him already the winner!

The best part about Craig, is his ability to envelope everyone around him into his music. Like when he sang Trainwreck, the guitarist just seemed so into it.

He made me cry when he sang "lovely" . Soooo moving.. I am a fan the way he sings. He could instantly connect with my emotions. My tears burst instantly as he sang the chorus part. One of the best and I agree with Anne Marie he is a unique singer, he sings from the inside with pure sincerity.

[@da40128]

How have I not heard him before, he gives me chills everytime he opens his mouth. It's so crazy, he's not only a great and unique singer but also how he connects with each song, it's nuts, it's like that's all that exists in the moment for him.

[@mwcshk113]

I kinda felt bad for the James guy during the battles, he sounded so desperate and nervous. The dude's got in on the competition, even if he lost mid-way, that in itself is still an achievement he should be proud of rather than letting his defeat get the best of his confidence.

An algorithm hiccup brought me here, but I'm making a mental note of the the name Craig Eddie. Hope Mr. Eddie goes more in the direction of the first song when he starts to record; I think his voice is more interesting when he lets it play a little rough. He could be an amazing blues or old-school soul singer.

One of the finest artists ever on The Voice.

[@susancurrie2627]

He is amazing! And not just because he’s a fellow Scot. Oh no. He has that something different in both his style and his voice. You feel what he’s singing right along with him. He definitely does not have what one might call a “traditional” voice. But it’s his voice combined with his style and depth of emotion when he sings that truly make him stand out. It takes a lot for me to get really excited over a male vocalist. I have top five and ten female vocalists who are all powerhouse singers. Well, so is he. I wish he wasn’t in the UK. That he’d been one of the contestants here in the States. I really hope he goes international. The whole world ought to be able to hear him sing! Congratulations Craig!

I'm 52 now and wish I'd not been so fragile, but you know.... It just is. It's terrifying for me to be the center of attention, so it takes next to nothing to tear me down. There will always be careless comments, Craig. Know that you are tremendously talented and never let those negative comments be anything but helpful, please. Disown anything that isn't constructive because the critics' downers aren't your responsibility to entertain. And always always always place your talent and emotional health above all else. Virtual hugs from here to eternity, man. I'm really looking forward to watching your career from here. :)

Even though I am not Graig, thank you for this. Not sure how or why, but this gave me confidence. I hope he read your comment, he watched this video since he is the top comment. 🙏🏻🌈
