It seems to me that on the Voice the coaches will wait until the original artist turns their chair, it's kind of an unwriten code or show of respect.

[@anoniem7062]

Wow, the performance of "Hello" was absolutely amazing! Makes sense to me that Lionel Richie was in awe!

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Good voice and range but overdone...

[@chriskay1449]

It's like he said, Make it your own. Don't just do a copy.

[@chriskay1449]

The face Katy gave when Oliva went on that high run. She was in awe too.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

It was supposed to be over done she was trying to win (I get what you're saying) also my cat responded to her saying hello..... He responded with a hello of his own 😹

Respect for Lionel Richie, for calming and coaching that dude who sings "Truly".

[@bonniemccormack1361]

he says he choked. I would have croaked.

[@yankee_tango]

When Olivia Soli started singing "Hello" I was stunned, then I got chills then I broke into tears, she took a classic made it her own and touched my soul with it. She is an amazing singer and will be a success at it, Lionel Ritchie speaks the truth about what someone should do with a song, make it their own and she did exactly that. I have seen several performers from these shows do that and they impress the judges by doing it.

[@dancingqueen919]

Olivia Soli has some original songs out on Apple Music

[@Jayson_Tatum]

If only James Arthur knew where this audition was going to take him. Incredible

[@BIGtunaa-]

i was so surprised to see him here... same great vocals

[@memberHD]

I went and googled what happened to him after seeing him here. I've spent the last two hours pouring over his other auditions and albums. Heard his song on the radio before but had no idea about the artist behind them. Dude is something special.

[@XxXMandz]

Omg. I was just here wondering if it was the same James Arthur. My goodness. Stunning voice!

[@therunawaykid6523]

Definitely much better than the original

[@jackmor68]

These three judges on American Idol always impressed me as being the most supportingly critical of each and every contestant. They are always there to offer encouragement and advice to the contestants. And they do it with passion and humour. They are the greatest.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

They are fake as fk

[@pogojp]

100% Agree. Even when they gave bad reviews, they still suggested they were good at this or that and to focus on that. Great judges, for sure.

[@EliMTL]

Damn... wow. That first girl Olivia Soli, amazing talent and vocal range.

[@jacklegends1515]

I'm in love with her voice

[@therunawaykid6523]

Where did she finish?

[@josephlewis9237]

I have to say, I love it when contestants cover the judges songs. It can be bold and brave, but, when they pull it off, it's a magnificent achievement. I especially love it when the contestants make it different, interesting and their own. Those covers of Don't cha and Rule the world were amazing, but, James Arthur is in a different league.

[@michelineherrero2324]

[@MissingDrew815]

Katie Perry sucks, hate that she's judging anyone. 🤢

[@kummer45]

Lionel Richie gave us a true powerful message that has nothing to do with the show. It's about making ours their creations and building upon what is already done making it better. It's about building our individuality and our addition of our experience. This is a true blessing. Lionel is giving the best advice everl. Thank you.

[@Truckerdaddy]

Honestly i never thought much of Lionel, but then i learned of all the great songs he's been a part of over the years and to see how he treats the contestants with class and humility is nice to see.

[@lyssamora]

you can tell he really LOVES music. not like all these random rappers and pop singers who just do it for fame and money

@@lisamuller3307 I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

[@nanam2307]

@lisamuller3307 I’m not sure what you were listening to but her range is otherworldly. If she can do that as effortlessly as it looked she can most likely sing anything else in lower tonal ranges without even trying. She can “sang”. Leave a link to your performances so we can see what you can do.

[@nikkijubilant]

I rarely like hearing women sing. I vastly prefer male voices. I liked her style of singing. Not breathy, not bedroomy, not sugary. Powerful and raw.

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Like my mother before me, music has always been the only thing that heals me... I lost my husband in late 2011 and needing to find a new artist to heal me I started watching America, Australia and Britans got Talent. Ill never forget that feeling, as I watchied his audition wth tears rolling down my cheeks, of knowing I finally found that artist! I cheered him on through to the win and have never looked back. James Arthur's music healed me then and a few more times, through loss, over the years since then and ranking 2nd only to bringing my daughter into the world, getting the opportunity in 2017 to fly from America to Britan and finally see him live, was the best moment of my life! Watching his audition still brings tears to my eyes, only now, its tears of pride because the boy who came Back From The Edge" and who would reach for the stars, became the man who, rightfully so, successfullty possess them!🎉 Long Live the King!

[@alanstant9356]

I knew that hug was coming before it happened from Lionel Richie being it's one of his songs.

[@aaronbritt2025]

When Amei said she almost sang a Girls Aloud song and then proceeded to sing "I'll Stand by You", made me feel really old. That's a Pretenders song, not a Girls Aloud song. GA sang a cover of "I'll Stand by You", but it's still a Pretenders song. These young folks think if it didn't happen in their lifetime, it didn't happen. She's probably never even heard of the Pretenders.
