After watching this video I just gained a whole new entire level of respect for Kelly. She saw potential, she knew it could be controversial, but she never gave up on him and helped him through the controversy and show the world how good he really is.

Yes she did!

[@alperwolfie]

She did amazing both contestants came 1st & 2nd, won with Chris Sebastian, created the perfect little girls “little mix” and they won X Factor UK (by mentor tulisa), That’s why she needs to replace someone on The Voice USA 🇺🇸

[@Zaihanisme]

I mean, she discovered Beyoncé after all, lol

[@TheBSideDJ]

it was no real controversy. It was just one comment about a confused artist calling him a DJ, a comment that could easily be tackled by some talent.

[@reading.with.creepy.crawlies]

The sour grape put out by one coach "you're just dj-ing, am I wrong?" - was actually the best push to get Kelly to see the immediate problem of closed minded people who aren't real artists. She got him singing over his own loops for all the doubters to hear the "music" and the "voice". That young man has more talent and intellect than I have ever seen in any competitor on any of these shows globally. I am glad he won.

[@sohinichakraborty8126]

Kelly really did justice to his potential. Damn he's AMAZING!!!

[@lee-qz7bd]

She really did. When he said the final song was for her, I felt that to my core. He knew what she did for him and indeed praised her.

[@TwstedTV]

Boy George was pissed at the end..... Hahahaaa. I'm so glad Sam picked Kelly. George always seems to think everything is about him, because he is trying to stay relevant. He had his 5-minutes of fame, but for some odd reason he cant realize that when someone else is in line. Kelly did Sam justice..... I heard that they have been best friends since this show.

[@rowenacountryman2242]

@@pedropessoa2246 I agree. I even tried researching to see if they preformed together after this and I only found 1 song and it has to be bought so I didn’t. I thought their energy was great. I think Sam’s personality was even more open. He is quite shy and you could tell the comments George gave him really hit him hard and a applaud Kelly for just jumping in there and saying “I call bull$hit” she really changed my view on her too after this. She has always had a little diva attitude but with him I truly saw her coach and truly mentor him. There’s not a lot of information out there about Sam and I wondered if anyone knew what happened with him.

Take away the looping, the beatboxing and the tech, and Sam *still* has a powerful rock voice and an operatic falsetto, and a nice tone. That's more than many people who might be singers, but aren't really artists.

As a DJ myself, I have to question Boy George's intelligence both musically and in general with his completely off the wall commentary. How in the world could he simply reduce the voice looping to the equivalent of just DJing?!?!? 99% of the world could DJ. 99% of the world could not do what Sam does.

[@hearmenow909]

Boy George has been dining out of Karma Chameleon all his life, he's a one hit wonder who likes to kidnap rent boys and chain them up against their will so they can't escape. That's what he went to jail for.

[@hearmenow909]

He was also a shit house DJ who was only a DJ because of his name.

[@SoulezzThoughtz]

Because voice looping is not new. DJs have been doing it for decades with MCs. It just was before its time since technology was not advance as it is now to provide the quality of what you hear now. So as a DJ Boy George has seen it only as DJing

[@caiograndi8968]

Because Boy George loved what he did when he had the chance to get him on his team, and the second the attention shifted his instinct was to try to put the man down

[@curvalisiouscurves5579]

Forgot how he downplayed denzel for rapping his own songs? And then when he finally did another artists to rap he saw the difference in quality of rap and tones Lol but don't forget he called boy George out for the beer his father bought him years ago🤣🤣🤣 he symuper pressed and holding a grudge for calling him out haha some man had him in heart over a beer and made sure to get his revenge through his son 20, 30 years later 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Tsubaki1212y]

Many people said “He is not a Singer” “He dont deserve to win” things like that, I was like “Bit*h??? He is doing this with his own freakin voice!! How???” He is so amazing. The collab with Kelly was just Tremendous❤️‍🔥

[@agirlisnoone5953]

Why people saying that? He literally sang a song.

[@p.s.4201]

The thing that many think "he's not a singer" is because he is adjusting his voice to how he needs to sound at any given moment. I'm not saying he isn't good, just that he is applying technology to enhance his voice as needed singing "Live". Much like what happens in a recording studio. While the others are very limited(in a tech aspect) during a "live" performance relying mostly on their vocals. The voice is in control of what is fair and what isn't. They make the rules.

[@sharazar]

@@p.s.4201 But other then the beats, was he changing his singing voice. I would like to see him just sing to put it to rest if he is really that good of a singer of if the tech is helping. But in the grand scheme of thing, there are so many artist the sound like S* unless they have the reverbe or auto-tune. Sam has an amazing talent, to be able to loop so that the sound mix correct is crazy.

[@mrminus7480]

@@p.s.4201 he actually only uses reverb on the opera recordings. the rest is all his voice. He know adding effects would be not the sense of the voice^^. The singing is all by himself, always was.

[@D-me-dream-smp]

Agreed- the show is called “The Voice” George. The amount of talent and focus to think of, produce and mix all that LIVE is amazing. His ability to reinterpret songs was refreshing rather than constantly hearing the same versions again and again.

[@DBox3591]

Here’s how ridiculous George is. I first saw looping when ED freaking SHEERAN did it during a televised celebration of Stevie Wonder. Ed was a guest artist who demonstrated the reimagined way to do what Stevie did playing all the instruments on some of his recordings. And we know 2 things. Stevie can sing and Stevie is no DJ! We also know Ed can sing and did sing while looping that night. Finally, George was just upset that he knew his prediction would come true. Sam and Kelly made him look foolish!

[@MiddletonJeff]

BG was just salty as cos he knew Sam was going to win and he wasn't on his team. He called it on the blinds. ;)

[@TomGS]

To counter point some of the ans here.... Maybe, George thought Sam was underperforming by spending too.kuch time buding the beat and base of the song instead of outright singing. And, because he knew Sam could do better, decided to light a fire under his ass by being a total dick. And hoping Sam would actually react positively. Wich he did, with the support from Kelly.

[@sirloux2047]

That ain’t a DJ buddy Looping is sth completely different and if that is making you crazy u should watch Beatbox LoopStation stuff

[@kristaking1]

After ALL this time Sam Perry is STILL the BEST looping artist ever, on any Voice competition. He can loop and sing...the other loopers can't sing but Sam's voice is like an angel's voice and the gift he has of looping just enhances it. 🔥 This is especially true in light of him having a serious infection and chest sickness during the last half of the competition...singing most of his songs sick....just wow.

[@jwoellhof]

This didn't just make me a Sam fan, it made me a Kelly fan. She didn't make it easy on him. No doubt in my mind he was the most talented of the season, but I think he won because she was exactly the right coach to get him through. Plus, her performance in 'They Don't Care About Us' reminded the world of who she really is.

[@fybromon1409]

Was searching for this comment. Totally agree with you

[@lee-qz7bd]

Great chemistry between them and they both looked like they were enjoying the back n forth

[@giovannam925]

@@fybromon1409 yeah I thought the same. They actually really enjoyed that collaboration. You could tell and Sam was lifting him up, it was like a concert not even a competition. Amazing

[@jessicashenefield1546]

We need an entire album of them collaborating.

[@lauracoleman1680]

100% agree they sounded amazing together ❤

[@ndithomas1958]

Wow, he did set a standard All thanks to Coach Kelly, she gat my respect and love

[@SteadfastHero]

This guy can do it ALL! From opera, screamo, rap, and looping?! What a talent. Incredible voice too! Love the rasp

[@Cogot110]

I hope everyone caught the "SING IT AP" during the battle because thats how you knew it was more of a collab that a battle 😁😁. IT WAS TOO FUCKING GOOD!!!

[@dilshanaoki7493]

Yeah man!

[@tinabarnhart7034]

He was in complete control from the start, then he brought AP, and everyone else up 5 notches with "Sing it AP" He's FANTASTIC at everything!!!

[@dnoelani5588]

I never would have imagined those two together, but it was so awesome! 😍

[@myrnacooperman8358]

The pairing of Kelly and Sam was destiny. Kelly remained true to embracing Sam's natural given talent and allowed him to persue extraordinary musical triumphs in his own right. Brilliant, masterful, creative genius on both their endeavors. BRAVO

[@karenschlesinger7630]

You could say Sam is destiny's child 🙃

[@braidedbygrace]

The looping is soooo amazing but let's forget about that for a second. THIS MAN'S VOICE BRUH. His voice is so awesome, everytime the beat drops, his voice comes on so suddenly, I get goosebumps. Look at me jumping on my bed like wth. I'm obsessed with everything he does🔥🔥🔥

[@mahainfo7869]

That 'Sympathy for the Devil' battle was in my book not a battle, it was really a great performance done by two great performance artists, both way out of their comfort zone. Everybody would have paid to go to a concert with these two great musicians. Sam demonstrated that when you raise someone else you raise yourself. In the performance with Kelly she really gave it her all, what a performance artist. I actually find him best when he is together with someone else. He would have a fantastic future if he paired up with another super gifted artist

[@melanieanne5285]

I literally guessed that he was gonna do bohemian rhapsody because, he said this switches key and tempo. Then Kelly said it has hints of opera, and I just knew it was Queen.

[@simiemandla1542]

Yep. Lolz. QUEEN with the crazy musical arrangements, man.🤷🏾‍♀️😂

[@sarahgportela]

boy george said whoever sam chose as a coach would be the winner, but that was bullshit cause sam needed someone who let him do him and be him. no one could do it like kelly: she is THE coach, and sam's performances are absolutetly stunning as they are. he grew to be more like himself, which is something i can't explain man... just watch the journey, it speaks for itself. so shout out to both of them!! what an amazing team

[@belmonteiro1923]

I love the way he just got more confidence every time and the way Kelly were there for him,incredible

[@beckylivefree1256]

WOW! Kelly did an amazing job with Sam. She encouraged him to be himself and defended him amongst all the chaos. Sam has such a beautiful voice and an amazing talent. Way to go Sam 🎉 I hope all of your dreams come true ❤ What a gem.

[@colmancooney9213]

Sympathy for the Devil song was absolutely amazing. These two performers were so perfect together, they should actually go on tour together. I'm Irish, and I'd definitely pay good money to go watch them perform together on stage. One superb performance 👏👌

[@bunnytail1370]

I myself didn't think the song would sound right. BUT IT SOUNDED BETTER! That's when you know they are artists! It was a shock. Really great!

[@eddieyan3017]

Sam wasn't at all scared of sharing the stage, he even hyped up opponent shouting, "Sing it AP!!!" Just making badass music on the fly and I wishing it could go longer.

[@johnboychuk1467]

@@eddieyan3017 it looked like Sam had so much fun with that one. They should definitely do a show together.

[@mrbeans2425]

You can see just how impressed she is with his range and abilities. I bet they had so much fun working together. She gets him. And i am so on board!

[@D-me-dream-smp]

She recognised that he’s a true artist who is totally passionate about making music over fame and fortune.

[@raychlc5959]

Kelly has such an enormous heart. She truly cares about everyone of her team mates, every single year. I love her. She’s an awesome coach.

[@carlobinda1127]

Kelly and Sam did an amazing job and were a perfect match for this competition! 👏

[@schneideriwnl]

"Controversy happen! who cares? You know you got to be dope when they talking about you." FACTS!

[@Einhorn2505]

Kelly was really the best coach for Sam. She helped him to show his great talent. She empowered him so that he could learn to trust himself. He got the best out of himself - and won!

[@rickylaws7766]

9:37 Kelly got that Gangsta attitude right here.. Love it!!

[@angelaorteega]

Sam was giving Grammy’s worth performances since day one!!

[@102sydney]

This is absolutely amazing. I cannot believe Boy George told him "You're a DJ, not a singer" Have you heard his voice, please back up 😭

[@juliakuehmeier9652]

I don’t know exactly how these game shows work, but a part of me thinks that maybe that comment was scripted to add drama. I am not trying to discredit the work he put in to move past doubting himself. Sam did great. You just have to wonder if a professional would really be so blind as to not recognize the vocal control and range the guy has.

[@102sydney]

@@juliakuehmeier9652 yeah Boy George was always saying stupid stuff on the show, to be honest lol who knows if it's scripted or not

[@JPSimen]

He is a masterful dj and a good singer.

[@BossManSays]

Loved that Kelly kept pushing him out of his comfort level and made him better for it. Would love to see more of him and AP very much an oil and water mix but it works like a perfect 50/50 mesh up.

[@DjRaulio]

The guy is amazing, no doubts. But the real magician here is Kelly. This is the perfect example of an amazing escalating trip right to the top, based on talent, maturity and the amazing class Kelly proved to have! Hats off!

[@aflood3446]

His vocal range is insane! And not just the range... the different types. From angelic to demonic and back. And he had a great voice!

[@Microjam]

Wow, Sam's talent is more than most would ever realize, but highly rewarded in the end. Awesome performances.

[@tooic3y637]

Man you have no idea how big the beatbox/loop station industry is, everyone in the beatbox industry would appreciate what he did

[@lienlovesart8289]

Pp

[@D-me-dream-smp]

Kelly showed what a great coach can do - she took him from a what was a good, entertaining act that was seen as a bit of a novelty to a true well rounded performer. He’s really pushing the envelope and experimental. A true artist- so humble and reserved and then when he’s performing he just blossoms- he works so hard to give 110% every time. The sheer amount of focus and effort his performances must take is simply astounding. Bohemian Rhapsody was tour de force. The fact he gives a totally fresh interpretation of songs was impressive. George complaining was like the equivalent of when ppl used to say oh “rap” isn’t really music and now look.

[@desireeharness6670]

Hes not a singer...hes a freaking artist. I love love love how he makes every song something that I've never heard before.

[@astriddhaenens9854]

This is amazing. He is soooo talented. That song from nirvana. That was the one for me. Opera and all.. and then the STOP at the end.. wow. The way he was growing in that contest... so fast, so good...and his voice. Thay boy can sing!And he has to combine it all, push those buttons, think and sing at the same time. Now THAT is an artist. For me, he deserved to win that show.

[@akarmoussaittizi3012]

This guy was so freaking awesome. When he performs it's a whole damn concert.

[@spikaizautoservisa]

Does anyone acknowledge Kelly's part in his victory. She is such a great mentor. I bet if it was George or Delta he wouldn't make it through. Her song picks were spot on

[@justinmayfield6579]

So entertaining. As a musician, I'm not wowed easily any more these days, but every single song delivered. And that flawless timing from Sam was off the charts.

[@cesarag2239]

INCREDIBLE TAKE ON "SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL" DUO!! WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🎉🎉🎉

[@StareNation]

it irritates me that this was even controversial. Sam not only uses his voice to sing, he composes the song from the foundation up. He has to harmonise and fine tune an arrangement and his knowledge shows such in the behind the scenes clip for sympathies with the devil when the other contestant is confused whilst Sam is working out his song construction. I love that Kelly coached and encouraged his journey because she gave him challenge which displayed his abilities. its simply beautiful to watch

[@saigonrider]

I think making in controversial benefits him. He already can deliver the hits. Giving him a story line only makes him more popular, and gets more votes

[@KathyAnne28]

As much as I love George, he realized his singers were in trouble with Sam there. So he tried to throw shadow on him and possibly eliminate the threat.

[@lswilcoxon]

Exactly 💯

[@amazingrace1958]

OR… what he said was what Sam needed. That comment changed everything inside Sam’s heart - it gave him (and Kelly) a new drive to ‘prove wrong’ …. & he won.

[@caleb700]

The right choice. He is a superstar. Literally like they said, he was a game changer because everything is his own voice. Like he said he is every part. He has an incredible range on top of being able to beatbox and make instrument noises with his own vocal chords. Incredible talented and showstopping.

[@TheNraveles]

I cannot explain how perfect this dudes track record is. Every. Single. Performance. Was a pure masterpiece of music. Bohemian Rhapsody??? HOW?

[@aliciajames9913]

Kelly saw this assignment and she understood it....🥰🥰👏👏🙌🙌👏 Congratulations Sam you couldn't have been represented by the perfect human than this beautiful black woman💟💟 Thanks Kelly for seeing his dream and pulled him out of his comfort zone.

[@tuttoto]

Kelly is an amazing person… she is destroying racism and sexism just by being herself. She is showing the best mankind can provide… I only feel RESPECT, deep and sincere, for her… (I am an old white male btw, and my ego as no limits… though, I value her higher than myself).

[@witchycrafter1037]

Sam and Ap should be a band. Omg they are amazing together!!

[@oliverer3]

The fact that he not only had to work on his voice but likely also learn new technical skills along the way makes his improvement even more impressive!

[@sjp1319]

Watched this 5 or 6 times throughout one day. The blind audition gave me the chills. Dude is badass. Skilled, creative, versatile, & has a great voice as well. Wish he was signed to a record label so I could get more of his music and/or listen to him on Pandora.

[@gerardinecizmar]

I'll be shocked if Sam doesn't become a superstar and Kelly was beyond incredible with her coaching. I loved their performance together.

[@chrisshimizu308]

his vocal dexterity is off the chain. from the super fast beats to the high operatic notes to the screaming all in one song - just damn, dude.

The duet is outstanding. Genius. His voice shined in last song

[@Cyannah117]

Sam is still one of my favourite Voice Aus contestants ❤ Sam’s voice is unique and his looping is beyond compare! So dammed exiting! Sam is NOT a cookie cutter artist! Those who say loopers are cheating need to realise that they are only using their own voices to make something spectacular!

[@rickylaws7766]

Yes. I agree with All of this

[@larscw74]

How could anyone beat someone like this in a battle? I'm impressed.

[@jombalaya]

He’s a genius, you know grimes is a looping artist too and I can’t tell you how crazy it is to see someone sing and mix live. Sam has an amazing voice I hope he goes far in life, there is a huge market for it. I loved all his remixes.

[@giorgiopolloni7936]

Not to mention the way he lives each song viscerally.

[@lissalives1]

I’m sooooo thrilled that Sam won! Dare to dream; dare to be different and stand out! 🏆🥂🔥

[@abdallahdaal9332]
