Thank you all for your kind words and support -- and to @cacawn1 for posting and maintaining. Happy to see that this performance still brings people joy all these years later. For any who are interested, I'm starting a new series of covers on my channel. Expect program material in a similar vein ^^^.
Awesome to see you back man! Shuffled Joni Mitchell’s A Case Of You today and had to check this video again! Saw this live back in the days when TVs were still huge.
Always a click when this performance of you pops up. This was one of my favorite seasons, and you were one of my favorites. Glad to see you're still out there workin! Keep it up buddy
Great but definitely not the best... Mathew Schuler *Halla, Craig Wayne Boyd *Rugged Cross, Amanda Brown *Stars, Taylor John Williams *Mad World, So many great moments
Joey's Dog ikr if you spread the top 12 from this season into separate seasons they'd all win but love interruption and somebody to love by James are still higher on my list
You're right I overlooked him during the season because I was rooting so hard for Tessanne. Realizing that years later, this was the best performance in Voice history.
THIS! i was so freaking frustrated that people weren't voting enough for him! i don't get how they couldn't appreciate his talent. 😭 i was altrady a fan since his blind audition but THIS just sealed the deal for me! 💯
Every once in a while you hear a performance that stays w you for basically ever. This is definitely one for me, and I see for many others. Nothing better than a person with an emotional voice and a guitar.
It’s 2020, and I go back to this song a few times a year. Such a flawless performance which exceeds the original in my opinion. (sorry Joni). There are a small handful of Voice performances I go back to, and this tops the list. James Wolpert has should be a household name. Adam’s reaction was exactly the same as mine. Mesmerized in awe of purity, talent, and emotion of the song. Chills to this day.. thank you James.
i share the same opinion as yours. love.. love this song which i have not heard before JAMES SANG IT IN THE VOICE. AND MY HEART SANK when he did not even go up to the third spot in that season. Thanks to cacawn1 for loading this.. i miss James and I wonder where heis now.. hope he still sings.
Totally agree. This is the best rendition of this song. Nothing against Joni, she is a legend in her own right, but james and co. did something really special with this song.
I think the strain in his voice just really conveys that raw emotion. He sings with a passion in the gut much like James Blunt. You can really feel it.
From time to time, I come back to this video because it was simply THAT good. James Wolpert is fantastic. Plus, it was an overall great season. So many wonderful artists.
I replayed this a million times ....one of the best ever performances ever on the voice ! The look on Adams face is priceless…like he is in awe …and rightly so…this was just brilliant
All this time later, and I still listen to your performance of this song regularly. Your version of this song is in my top ten favorite songs of all time. This really moved me.
I stopped watching the show a long time ago but I continue to go back to watching James Wolpert’s performance of this song over and over. Best rendition of this classic song in my opinion.
This and his blind audition of Love Interrupted are some of the best performances on the show. The first 5 seasons really had a different caliber of artists.
What a performance, so emotional and the look on Adams face…he was just as mesmerized as me watching it! Wonder where James is now…he deserves to be on a big stage somewhere with a divine voice like that! Amazing
Pure and emotional---watch his performance--he aches with sincerity. He is one of my all time favorites of the voice----and I continue to listen years later,
He said let me sell you the emotion of the song, and also give some tastes of all I can do. This should he studied as the example of how best to make an impression in a competition.
9 years later and I still listen to this version of the song cause James absolutely killed it! I wish he would do the whole song and release it. Fantastically done.
I don't understand how this guy isn't super famous in the US..It's sad to see so many mediocre ''singers'' in the spotlight. That was emotional and sublime, still my fav performance. Greetings from Portugal.
After he did this song - which was never released by Joni as a single - it has basically taken off. It was covered by Madi Davis, Troy Ramey, Rebekah Samarian, and now Addison Agen on The Voice, and Stephanie Gummelt on American Idol, among others submitting it to that show. Granted, others have covered it over the years, notably Diana Krull, even Javier Colon - post Voice, but still, Wolpert's superb version is a big reason for this song''s resurgence.
Someone just did this as a blind audition on the current season of The Voice and INSTANTLY brought me back to hearing James perform this way back when. To me, his version is unbeatable & lives RENT FREE in my head till this day 🫶🏼
This is in my opinion the most genuine and best performed song in the voice history
Slick nick 04 agreed
He made it a new generation classic
Same. By far. Only one that's close is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with Celeste and Mark.
I’ve watched it a bunch of times. Had same expression as Adam first time I saw it.
i agree

This performance is too good for the voice. Period.
Still the best performance in the entire history of The Voice in my opinion! That was my favorite season too. They were LOADED with talent that year!
Great but definitely not the best... Mathew Schuler *Halla, Craig Wayne Boyd *Rugged Cross, Amanda Brown *Stars, Taylor John Williams *Mad World, So many great moments
Joey's Dog top few for sure.
Joey's Dog ikr if you spread the top 12 from this season into separate seasons they'd all win but love interruption and somebody to love by James are still higher on my list
My favorite sesso too!
Same sentiments! One of the best performances in the voice history every and THE best season too!
2024 and I still come back to watch this … so good!
Still here. Best performance in show history
I feel like James never really got the love he deserved. He may be my favorite voice artist ever.
You're right I overlooked him during the season because I was rooting so hard for Tessanne. Realizing that years later, this was the best performance in Voice history.
Me too!
his album the entire city is good too
Mine too.
THIS! i was so freaking frustrated that people weren't voting enough for him! i don't get how they couldn't appreciate his talent. 😭 i was altrady a fan since his blind audition but THIS just sealed the deal for me! 💯

can't agree enough, one of my most favorite contestants to this day and probably most underrated one. briliant song choice and what a delivery.
Me too
Totally agree. This is the best rendition of this song. Nothing against Joni, she is a legend in her own right, but james and co. did something really special with this song.
I always come back to this
I still come back to this 💜
Freaking 6 years later and this is still one of the most powerful covers I’ve ever heard.
8 yrs ago for me :)
I just spent like 5 hours trying to find this song. I’m over here typing “Contestant with glasses playing piano singing *Still be on my feet”😩
hahahaha lol, I feel you, and the joy when you find it even with that little information
2024 and still
Coming back to my TOP The Voice Performance of all time.
This performance hasn’t aged
One of the best artists to ever appear on The Voice.
I believe if he did this now he'd win. The musical climate has changed.
So absolutely beautiful.
I still can’t get enough of this song. What a talent. What passion and life.
2019 and still watching
2020, now
I always find myself coming back to this video, there’s something about it. It’s so mesmerizing
I think the strain in his voice just really conveys that raw emotion. He sings with a passion in the gut much like James Blunt. You can really feel it.
Absolutely stunning.
He is one of my favorites from 'The Voice' ~ probably my favorite.

Where'd this guy go???? All the BEST never win this competition.....but where do they go? This guy was one of my favorites!!!!! EVER
This is still the best individual performance after 10 years of seeing this show that I have ever seen.
Agree strongly
Its 2022 and still listening to James Wolpert. 💕
Still one of the best live performances I’ve seen on the voice.
A shame this young man hasn’t gotten recognition for his skill
I still listen to this to
This day. Amazing.
This and his blind audition of Love Interrupted are some of the best performances on the show.
The first 5 seasons really had a different caliber of artists.

This was the best perfomance of all The Voice's season. Deep in my heart.
2022 anyone? Still the best performance in the voice history so far!
this is the best song ever performed on the voice stage!!!!
Pure and emotional---watch his performance--he aches with sincerity. He is one of my all time favorites of the voice----and I continue to listen years later,
Still watching in 2020.i love James voice and his songs.
The best voice performance of all time.. The best!! Adam killed him on song choice in the end. He should have won
Watched a lot of versions of this song tonight. This guy get's the song.
He embodied Joni.
Best the voice singer. Remember watching this live with my host parents during my exchange year in the States. Missing those moments.
He said let me sell you the emotion of the song, and also give some tastes of all I can do. This should he studied as the example of how best to make an impression in a competition.
This is so underrated it’s ridiculous! So controlled.... the pace and his voice is just beautiful!
This is smooth asf...better than the original...my opinion
Ohhh.. His vibrato... One of the most beautiful performances EVER
the beginning is so sweet and deep.
This is my favorite song from the Voice. He’s so talented and it’s so heartfelt ❤
The best song ever, genuine and full of emotions. I keep listening to this song!
1.32, Adam's like 'God damn...that voice, that emotion, i think even I could fall in love with him'. He looks so in awe!
2023…still listening
Best song I’ve heard on The Voice or American Idol!!!! Unbelievable
Still gives me goosebumps after so many years
Yes...me too! :)
I’m watching this in May 2021, and still love this cover, so beautiful
Still the best cover this show has EVER had ! 6 dislikes ? gtfo of here ....... kids
I still come back to watch this performance and The Deborah vs Nellys Echo battle..they’re so good!!!
I have never felt more connected to Adam Levine than at 1:28. It's okay Adam, I'm in love with him too, we all are
Still listening to this performance. Still loving it. ❤️
This was an iconic performance on The Voice that I come back to constantly.
9 years later and I still listen to this version of the song cause James absolutely killed it! I wish he would do the whole song and release it. Fantastically done.
Best cover I have ever had the privilege to hear.
2024. Still listening
I keep coming back to this. Needs a lot more recognition! Love from Denmark 🇩🇰

On my feet...glorious
Oh James, how I miss your voice. I will never forget this performance ever
James you can sing to me all day everyday ❤️
I don't understand how this guy isn't super famous in the US..It's sad to see so many mediocre ''singers'' in the spotlight. That was emotional and sublime, still my fav performance. Greetings from Portugal.
I loved this that night and still love it today. Captivating. Beautiful vibrato. The perfect clarity, intensity and depth. Bravo.
Still loving this... in 2019
Goosebumps!
Never understood why James was eliminated..one of the few Voice tunes I have on my primary iTunes playlist.
America is ignorant when it comes to real talent.
No one can perform this song better
So beautiful

I love Addison Agen 😃 she reach #2 on Itune yesterday
This is exactly what come out of my mouth, thanks for the spoken man.
Yeah, she did great. Her version is maybe the most authentic to Joni's original yet.
Prince did a cover of this
@@PhilAndersonOutside After this...
Someone just did this as a blind audition on the current season of The Voice and INSTANTLY brought me back to hearing James perform this way back when. To me, his version is unbeatable & lives RENT FREE in my head till this day 🫶🏼
This was the best season packed with so much talented singers!
My favourite rendition of this song..

2022 and this is still my favorite The Voice performance ever.
This is still my favorite performance ever.
Vocal performances never move me but this actually did. Such a great song and such a good cover of it.
I am still listening to this moving performance by James. It is my favorite performance in the Voice history.
Still one of the best renditions of this song
I cant believe this was 9 years ago. I still think of his performances!
This is one of my favourites by far…the raw emotion is unreal
Absolutely brilliant and James is an incredible singer, season 5 of The Voice is one of the best seasons of this show ever!
