Hi everyone, 3 years now since this was filmed! Time is definitely a healer although I don't forget the events. It was a hard year with illness and a start to a new life in a different place but I've been encouraged by the wonderful comments left on UA-cam - Thank you so much. As we go through a hard period in life ( wars, elections, brexit etc.), it is heartwarming to see that there are still so many decent, kind people in this world. I feel truly blessed and as another year looms I wish you all the best. Love truly, is a magical thing!! Peace - Liz Oki xx
okimusic I just saw this for the first time.. beautiful.. if I could say anything that may encourage you. I'd like to say that being able to make people FEEL is what music is, and I believe you do that so very well. thank you for sharing
Hi, I'm 62 and about to be retired in 2 weeks. I volunteer in a Nursing Home and get a lot of satisfaction from it. I'm not sorry you didn't get chosen at the 'Voice', because I have a low view of fame. But I love listening to singers who really feel their music. Thank's for the gift of getting up there and risking rejection. Maybe you didn't get chosen because you never wanted it enough, because that is picked up by the judges too. But you had an effect on them nonetheless. Maybe you can sing to more appreciative audiences now anyway, like in Nursing Homes. You probably already do. God Bless.
okimusic, beautiful voice, but even more important your carisma, your soul, your gorgeous attitude towards life. Thank you for the feelings you made me expirience thought this video. Love from Colombia 🇨🇴.
Happy new years guys! Thanks for all the wonderful comments that keep coming, they have helped me stay positive through a very difficult 2014. Hope to see you at a gig somewhere soon. Love to all... Liz Oki x
Your voice is beyond perfect and was very touching for me I teared up just hearing you sing then I found the full audition and I connected even more to your voice and song choice when I heard about your loss. Which I am deeply sorry for. I know how it is to lose someone so dear to you. I wish you great luck in your future. You will go far! Your voice is so soothing and incredibly touching.
I can NOT BELIEVE that they didn't turn for you! Seriously!? There really is no justice in this world. You have an amazing voice and a wonderful presence in your performance! I'm pissed off right now! Also, I'm so sorry for your loss but always remember that she's in a better place. =)
I was there for that audition, was very emotional and they actually stopped the audition process for 20 minutes as Will had to go compose himself. Really meant a lot to him.
Good Lord, everyone was crying.... even STJ..... Poor Will. He's still taking the death hard. My heart goes out to him, and to Miss Liz. Miss Oki, just take this as something to remember - your voice gave Will something nothing else would - healing, and a chance to let go of that pain. Bless you 1000x's over!
This is why The Voice is the talent show for me. The coaches aren't just there to criticise, they're just as much of a part of this show as the contestants.
Oh Ma! You shared your soul with Will and touched a piece of him which was so very raw and real. Talent does not do that, only a gift. You are a soul beyond your time and will forever be remembered as the one. Thank you for your gift. Love, Angeli
+OVER50ANDFANTABULOUS On a very rare moment Heaven is opened and a voice is given. A voice which brings back memories. Which brings back tears and sorrow. But always, yes always this Voice brings real Love and Warmth. Because this Voice wants to help you...
I am in my late 20s and i just realized this about 2 yrs ago. When my parents visit me i always get my mother flowers. I have thought about THE day and it's scary... so i just try not to think about it.
Why noone turned? She sanged like an angel. I'm in tears. This touches my heart. I lost my dad recently. I lost my mom. O gosh!! Just heart breaking💔💔😥😥
Oh I just cried from deep in my soul...God bless you...God turned His chair and said "And she will hold a place in the Choir of Angels when she returns home to Me." Love.
Liz, it’s 2024 and this is still one of my most favorite moments on this show. And though no one turned around, I think your purpose there was MUCH bigger. You and Will.i.am shared a special moment and I think he NEEDED you, to be there, in that exact moment. I’m a huge George Michael fan and I absolutely loved how you sang Careless Whisper ( my favorite song he sang) Normally, I don’t care for covers, but you did it JUSTICE. I hope life is being kind to you and know, that this many years later … you still move us. God bless 💗🤗💗
Sorry for your loss lizzy..your mom did a GREAT job in raising a beautiful and very talented woman...may God bless you..and may her soul rest in perfect peace #keepsinging 🌹
Please bring her back and let them talk about her voice because it is soooooooooo beautiful and as we all see it brought us all to tears... Will, bring her back let her hear what you think of her singing
It's 11:59 am in New York, and as I was browsing through the voice videos, I came across yours...You have touched my heart with you sweet voice and elegant presence...I'm truly sorry for you loss...I send you a Big HUG.
Perhaps the monitors weren't working. The lovely vocalist has a beautiful rich tone that's passionate and is well executed. I barbarous amazing singers for over 30 years and would hire her in a second. I really don't understand why!!!
I happen to come here from time to time. Liz is one of those unique people who can bring peace and joy just talking. Singing, then... Wow. I wish I could be lucky enough to listen to her live. If you ever come to Brazil, you've get a fan ready to hug you and give you all the applause you deserve.
okimusic Beautiful voice and thank you Liz for the web site. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you had been picked, there is so much emotion in the way you sing, I know you can probably sing anything.
Liz Oki....the impact that your performance had on Will I Am was truly one of those moments in life that you can know was divine. To be a vessel by which you, through the power of your beautiful voice, and your amazing personality, to touch, truly touch another human being so tenderly and so genuinely, is worth more then any 4 chair turn or finale win!! Bless you for your precious voice that brought healing to Will I Am’a soul. Xoxoxo I loved your voice, and I would listen to your record endlessly!!
WOW!!! It even brought tears to me due to me losing an immediate family member every 6 years since 1998. This woman brought out the memories that I had locked up inside me over the years. Having lost both my sisters and my dad in a short period of time sometimes overwhelms me. I know that they are in heaven looking down on me. God Bless Her!!!
I TOO!! Singing can heel the heart of most all wounds,(personal stuff), in each of us. It can be an escape and of great emotional joy!! We all go thru our hells, and it is so awesome to hear great singers of great potential!! There is and always be GOOD PEOPLE!! I find them still!! ALL THE LOVE!! Larry,Naples,FL.
I instantly thought of my dog that passed away a few weeks ago. It's harsh what death can do to a person, and it must have taken u alot of courage to sing. I wish I could be more like u liz. Thanks a lot 😢😢😢😢☺☺☺☺
Dear Liz, I listened to your words before you performed, about this being the "Pinnacle" of your life....I am compelled to say that even though no one turned, I believe the magnitude of the emotional connection you & Will experienced, truly was just that...the Pinnacle for you both. And, a just as divinely purposeful & rewarding. You really are an angel :-)! hugs!
Liz, you were amazing. Your voice is a true gift. I can truly believe that your mum must have been very proud of you. Please keep on singing always. Love from South Africa.
Liz oki you are a gift and such a blessing . I lost my mum recently and came across your performance by " accident" but god has no coincidences it's so moving . A beautiful tribute. Thank you and please keep singing. The mentors are fools!!
Every so often I come back to this video. Every moment is special, every second has so much feeling from beginning to end. I cry every time but I keep coming back. You are a beautiful soul Oki, thank you for sharing your song with us. I hope your loss has become easier to bear.
First time I am seeing this. Can’t believe nobody turned around and especially if they are crying. Why did nobody turn around? Thanking you for singing and their comments, but they did it turn. Means nothing to me. You are great and they should have turned around.
Your voice is unique and soul touching. I don't understand why none of the judges turn. What are they looking for? God !!! This Mama is inspirational. Love you mum from Cameroon
Possibly one of the most moving auditions in the shows history. Such a strong and beautiful person with a fantastic voice. Such a lovely thing to see a guy like Will drop his guard and show the emotion he did. Best of luck Liz
Liz, Your voice and personality are beautiful and amazing. You are one of those people that everyone wishes were a part of their family and had as a friend. If I don't get to meet you here we will be friends in Heaven. Please keep singing. I would buy your CD in a heartbeat.
Ms Liz Oki ... this is absolutely beautiful!! I believe you have touched many hearts with your beautiful voice ! I know listening to you sing this opened my heart to feeling quite a bit of different emotions. God Bless you and your family. Sorry for the loss of your mother. Much Love from the US
A GREAT HUG FROM BRAZIL!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I DID'NT KNOW BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TURN AROUND... CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR TALENT... COME TO MY COUNTRY.. EVERYBODY WANNA LISTEN TO SO BEAUTIFUL VOICE...!!!
You have a gift when you are able to touch someone's soul. And you have touched many souls, mine included. Thank you for sharing your gift, and for touching so many people on so many different levels. 💐
I lost my mother 9yrs ago and the pain is still there everyday, I have discovered ways to handle that now and smile at least once everyday........I want you to know something, from 1 daughter to another......you're the reason I smiled today xxx thank you xxx love from Ellie r xxx
OMG...IT'S 2021 AND I AM NOW SEEING THIS AND BAWLING MY EYES OUT.....YOUR VOICE IS SOO AMAZING.... IT"S AS IF YOU'RE FROM A DIFFERENT WORLD ....JUST BEAUTIFUL

Good Lord, everyone was crying.... even STJ..... Poor Will. He's still taking the death hard. My heart goes out to him, and to Miss Liz. Miss Oki, just take this as something to remember - your voice gave Will something nothing else would - healing, and a chance to let go of that pain. Bless you 1000x's over!
The emotional healing aspect beats winning any day.For me, she went beyond a music competition
This is why The Voice is the talent show for me. The coaches aren't just there to criticise, they're just as much of a part of this show as the contestants.
Ur a beautiful singer n I have now lost my mom n dad it suck.where we turn to when they are gone r.i.p mom n dad
Ms. Liz...Quite honestly one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL singing performances I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience! Thank you🇺🇸
Beautiful sad emotional stories, but WHY O WHY DIDN'T YOU PEOPLE PUSH THE BUTTONS. This woman Liz sings AWESOME.
Oh Ma! You shared your soul with Will and touched a piece of him which was so very raw and real. Talent does not do that, only a gift. You are a soul beyond your time and will forever be remembered as the one. Thank you for your gift. Love, Angeli
Y'all really out here making me cry. Gosh dangit, y'all. 😭❤️
Uff. You make a grown man cry but I am not ashamed to admit for something this beautiful.
I'd give him a huge hug.
Wow, she was amazing
Thank you - Happy New Year!
Just hope you know Liz, you continue to inspire a lot of people x
Lost my momma many years ago. Please, give them flowers while they can smell them . . . .
+OVER50ANDFANTABULOUS On a very rare moment Heaven is opened and a voice is given. A voice which brings back memories. Which brings back tears and sorrow. But always, yes always this Voice brings real Love and Warmth. Because this Voice wants to help you...

This made me cry. I always knew that Will is such a sensitive and nice guy.
I cried like a baby but they were tears of some sorrow and some happy. Beautiful song
They could not turn around becouse of how powerful that song was and how it touched everyone hearts. It even touched mine as well.
Please bring her back and let them talk about her voice because it is soooooooooo beautiful and as we all see it brought us all to tears... Will, bring her back let her hear what you think of her singing
I love her.
I love this lady lovely woman fantastic singer sorry for late message
Ricky is so sweet, giving his handkerchief to Will
She has a voice of beauty and those judges are knuckle heads heads for not listening to her voice!
What a nice, genuine moment between two people that probably would not have otherwise been able to meet.
It's 11:59 am in New York, and as I was browsing through the voice videos, I came across yours...You have touched my heart with you sweet voice and elegant presence...I'm truly sorry for you loss...I send you a Big HUG.
