I've never watched this show. I just came across this. This guy can really sing. He's hitting high notes written for a woman with some ease . The woman here is all over the place.
Kevin's audition was simply the best from whole season and now he lost the battle? Bad move, Paloma, she wasn't that good! But good, now Ricky has a contestant who can easily win this, I hope he will! Good luck Kevin!
This got the second blinds off to a great start. My favourite show of the season so far. Perhaps the arrangement suited Faith better, but I thought Kevin gave a stellar performance, with barely a tremble. At times both singers were pushing the limit, even stepping beyond! I think I would have chosen Kevin, but perhaps Paloma was simply being faithful (ahem) to her team in making sure they both went through. Ricky must really fancy his chances of winning the season now.
+periurban are you deaf? didn't tremble? it was a very poor performance by them both! they screamed and even at one point, kevin forgot the words to the song! Not sure what you've been listening to but this wasn't a "stellar" performance by either of the contestants.
Bngr Photography I didn't know Kevin had forgotten the words! I hate when that happens, but it happens to the best. Yes, there was a wee bit screaming, but that's the fault of the coach rather than the singers. The Boy is producing the best battles, by taking very good singers and letting them sing, instead of compete. Paloma hasn't quite managed to meet her aspirations with that (she has expressed a dislike of the whole concept of battles). I think the technical aspect I'm noticing most in this battle is that Kevin has good pitch, where Faith struggled a wee bit.
God awful song choice. Kevin sounded much better IMO. The girl was pitchy the entire song. Glad Ricky stole him. He's the best coach I think and his chances of winning just shot up big time.
I found this battle a bit unfair. Faith was singing most, which gave her an advantage. This song was also a womens song, and therefore most suited to Faith's voice. Kevin is actually the better singer- have a look at his blind audition.
+Paul Sykes Listen again - she wasn't singing, just out of tune screeching. she couldn't hit a note if it was handed to her. she's just another girl who thinks she can sing and wants to be famous - in other words a lazy no talent.
+Madina Tash I'm just saying that this song doesn't really suit men. You're right in the fact that the song wouldn't fit Cody - her voice isn't suited to that genre of song.
It must be a talent to be able to find a song that woudnt suit Kevin s talent at all...but Paloma did it...hopefully Kevin will be treated better on team Ricky coz he really is one of the greatest talents of this season. Kevin&Chloe/Mia&Jolan for team Ricky !
I think Paloma was being tactical. She wanted both to remain, and knew that if she picked Kevin, Faith may not get stolen. I think Kevin was pretty much guaranteed a steal.
Oh hell no!!! Kevin's got some soul in him - it's pure steady, consistently and it flows right into your blood stream!!! That's how a song should affect you within the first seconds. When Kevin @ : 27 and on .... he captivated me and all I could think is to have it on my VUALT of iTunes TREASURES - Jennifer Hudson, owns her song. The fine lyrics, melody, her voice and the musician's made this song a CLASSIC. Kevin brought his sparks into the song - "Spotlight" is a winner! Love and Peace ~
Kevin clearly won this battle! Even though he was ill, don't forget, the show went on & he completely smashed it! Every single time he sings I get goosebumps. Love him! There's something very special about him. Paloma loves them both & can certainly help Faith as Faith's so young & new to the business. Kev is phenominal. He's ready now! He sings with passion & soul ... from the heart ~ infact he's the heart & soul of #TheVoiceUK 2016 He's totally professional & experienced & just needs guiding & his confidence building. Ricky will do this perfectly. He so wanted Kev from the first moment he heard him sing. Kev should have gone with Ricky then but all things happen for a reason. Ricky struck gold with the best steal ever! What a treasure! There are 2 winners here ... Kev + Ricky There's one winning Voice ... #KevinSimm for #TeamRicky ✌❤🎤
Faith is a nice girl and I'm sure she could do well with the right mentoring, but there's just no contest between these two. Kevin Simm is on an entirely different level. Some of the stuff on his channel is incredible. Legit world class. Looks like it'll be Ricky's year again this year.
She definitely was out of key but why did she have to keep getting louder and louder. Kevin was totally mind blowing. The guy can do no wrong in my book. He's so shy because of being pushed to being a "backing singer" in Liberty X when he was clearly more suited to being a solo artist. The business can beat you into submission sometimes.
Its obvious to me that Kevin won that battle but I think Paloma only chose Faith because she wanted to keep both in the competition and Kevin had much better chances of getting stolen. I think Ricky could now have the winner in his team so a bad move for Paloma but I think Ricky and Kevin will be much better suited!
Perfect battle, Kevin has an incredible control, range, and Faith has a lot of attitude, and nice tone. It’s obviously that she was nervous but definitely they both gave their best for this battle full of feeling.
I thought she would completely smash him but turned out to be opposite, he was really good! shocked he didn't win the battle. They are choosing looks over THE VOICE
I don't know what's going on with Kevin but he seemed really emotional... it was like it was a different Kevin we saw at the blinds... hope he sorts himself out cuz he could win this...👌💖
Apenas descubri esta canción y me encanto y sin duda la versión de Kevin me gusto 😎 le da un estilo diferente, sin duda merecia ganar esta temporada de la voz! No me gusta la actitud de la Paloma hacia el, lo veo como menospreciando su trabajo, si tuvo fallas en algunas partes pero en general hizo un buen trabajo, la otra chava canta muy bien también, mejor manera de demostrar a los que no confian en tu talento como al coach el ganar el concurso 😎 y tapar bocas
Kevin shouldn't have chosen Paloma in the first place. Paloma will be regretting her decision of choosing Faith over Kevin on this one. Faith was all over the place.
+Mikka Ella Ladignon they dont even begin to compare, I d have never guessed she d choose Faith... she basically gave Ricky at least a top 3 spot...if not the winner(I hope the winner)
Don't know what Paloma was listening to but I thought Faith hit quite a few bum notes there but it turned out ok in the end because Will picked up on him which I thought Kevin should have gone to in the first place. Oh and by the way Palaver, on Kevins first audition you said you wouldn't let him down, pity it took only his 2nd showing do what you promised not to.
the fact that she has admitted to fixing this battle in infuriating. Im happy for kevin cos he will do better with a better coach like ricky. But fixing a battle on a talent show is just so wrong, even though this decision was completey done to judges its an unfair advantage
What was that girl doing with Kevin. Her voice was off pitch through most of the song and he smashed through it. Hope he gets to the final now that he is in Team Ricky. Maybe he will get some proper songs that suit him best.
That they can do such a great job on this song and still not come close to the original just shows the talent of Hudson. This is my favorite song by her precisely because she holds back that powerful voice and finds the soulful licks.
+Blah Dlah I so agree with you she should have left those high notes to Kevin, sounded like she was in pain, had no control in her voice very pitchy as if she was tone deaf
Kevin is a definate contender to win this year with his two fantastic performances so far. His vocal talent is outstanding. His voice is much better heard solo. Never realised when he was in Liberty X how great a singer he really is.
glad he was stole by Ricky.. Thumbs up Ricky!! Kevin has a Voice just give Him the right music.. Bless Him, I can tell he doesnt like that bloody song he looks so worried But atleast he still have chance to get through.. I hope Ricky will look after Him.. x x
Please take Kevin to the finals! He really has a lovely voice. Don't know how Paloma booted him off. Thank god for Ricky. Hope he wins. He is my favourite.
What were you thinking Paloma?? You gave up a potential winner?? Why is so stupid?? Kevin is the most favorite singer this season to win the show,his voice is incredible. Congrats to Ricky,you have a chance to win this show again. Ricky & Kevin to Win the voice
+Jake Reeve Agreed. I had this played whilst I was working on the pc, so I was just listening...and many times I felt like, wtf screaming, off key, disaster!
I love #KevinSimm............................... His voice is amazing; and #FaithNelson wowwww... she has a wonderful talent vocal... I Love them!!! Muchos cariños a ambos desde Chile
I agree Kevin was better / more consistent but its Faith definitely has some potential. There were moments where her voice was good like at 1:59.. and tbh I feel like Paloma was better matched as a coach for her and Ricky is better with Kevin, so everyone complaining he didnt win, chill, they both ended up in the right hands.
Clever and bold move by Paloma to get them both through. So glad it paid off! Unfortunately this means there are a good number of stars in Ricky's team and I worry that will mean we'll lose some of the best as a result.
Kevin's such a great singer who ( imo that is ) has got it in the bag. He's by far the best singer in this show, & should win it by a country mile. I just sincerely hope that now Paloma has decided to spill the beans & admit that she "fixed it" with Ricky Wilson to steal Kevin just to keep him safe in the competition, it won't make waves for Kevin & taint all of his efforts. Just saying.
Still to this day I know Paloma picked the wrong battle winner, but I think it's because she knew by picking Faith, another judge would easily snap up Kevin. It's likely this was done on her part to make sure both members of her team got through - it's not about which judge wins after all, it's about who is the best singer and getting to showcase their talents.
Im glad paloma didn't pick him..cos i knew he would get a steal and i feel he would be better suited on team ricky. ps kevin is from my home town. do chorley proud!!
is paloma freaking nuts wtf, why did she pick her -?? i dont understand, paloma is one of my favorite singers she has good ear omg why she did it,,,---???
Wow! Kevin killed this. I cannot see how anyone would have not chosen him....hard to understand the logic. His range is incredible and he just felt the song a lot more than she did, not to mention the fact that his voice is impeccable. Her pitch was off throughout the song.
I've never watched this show. I just came across this. This guy can really sing. He's hitting high notes written for a woman with some ease . The woman here is all over the place.
Kevin is by far the better singer, so glad he is now on team Ricky. Kevin and Ricky to win!
Agree
+Helen S Kevin got a better end tbh.... still didn't know why he chose Paloma....
PALOMA lost all chance of winning with the loss of Kevin and Bradley. Over for her !
+Thierry Chanthavong Oh please Faith is better watch in knockouts also Mia is the best
+Matthew Joseph are u saying that Faith and Mia Will be in the final 3 of their team ?
this just proves how potent Kevin is as a singer. he got given a song WAY out of his comfort zone and still smashed it.
+TheGeoVlog the guy already went through an audition process, had a record deal and success in liberty x. give this opportunity to someone new please.
this guy has a better voice than 80% of the singers now days and he got dropped. he deserves a second chance i believe.
Perfect couple
Yeah. He killed it.
Kevin's audition was simply the best from whole season and now he lost the battle? Bad move, Paloma, she wasn't that good! But good, now Ricky has a contestant who can easily win this, I hope he will! Good luck Kevin!
I think it was a strategy move by paloma, if she chose ricky noone would have stolen faith, so she kept her knowing someone would steal kevin
Ah, yes... _"noone"._ 🙄
This got the second blinds off to a great start. My favourite show of the season so far. Perhaps the arrangement suited Faith better, but I thought Kevin gave a stellar performance, with barely a tremble. At times both singers were pushing the limit, even stepping beyond!

God awful song choice. Kevin sounded much better IMO. The girl was pitchy the entire song. Glad Ricky stole him. He's the best coach I think and his chances of winning just shot up big time.
+Lynn Daniel She was terribly pitchy...and that was with backup singers/track. Ugh.
+Alex McNamee he's gonna win, but i would prefer having Cody, Jolan or Vangelis winning though, i don't understand all the hype about him, sorry.
I found this battle a bit unfair. Faith was singing most, which gave her an advantage. This song was also a womens song, and therefore most suited to Faith's voice. Kevin is actually the better singer- have a look at his blind audition.
+Paul Sykes Totally agree with that comment Paul.
+Paul Sykes Listen again - she wasn't singing, just out of tune screeching. she couldn't hit a note if it was handed to her. she's just another girl who thinks she can sing and wants to be famous - in other words a lazy no talent.
+perfectlyjust Wow, just noticed that! Paloma has just lost a member of her team that could of won The Voice.
+Paul Sykes I do not think it is a woman's song. For example, it would not fit Cody. To be more accurate this song better fits her timbre.
+Madina Tash I'm just saying that this song doesn't really suit men. You're right in the fact that the song wouldn't fit Cody - her voice isn't suited to that genre of song.
It must be a talent to be able to find a song that woudnt suit Kevin s talent at all...but Paloma did it...hopefully Kevin will be treated better on team Ricky coz he really is one of the greatest talents of this season.
Kevin&Chloe/Mia&Jolan for team Ricky !
i agree
Always surprises me how hard the coaches fight for a contestant during the blinds for them to lose them in the battles.
I think Paloma was being tactical. She wanted both to remain, and knew that if she picked Kevin, Faith may not get stolen. I think Kevin was pretty much guaranteed a steal.
+Blah Dlah why the woman is just average
Oh hell no!!! Kevin's got some soul in him - it's pure steady, consistently and it flows right into your blood stream!!! That's how a song should affect you within the first seconds. When Kevin @ : 27 and on .... he captivated me and all I could think is to have it on my VUALT of iTunes TREASURES - Jennifer Hudson, owns her song.

Even though he was ill, don't forget, the show went on & he completely smashed it! Every single time he sings I get goosebumps. Love him! There's something very special about him.
Paloma loves them both & can certainly help Faith as Faith's so young & new to the business. Kev is phenominal.
He's ready now! He sings with passion & soul ... from the heart ~ infact he's the heart & soul of #TheVoiceUK 2016
He's totally professional & experienced & just needs guiding & his confidence building. Ricky will do this perfectly. He so wanted Kev from the first moment he heard him sing. Kev should have gone with Ricky then but all things happen for a reason. Ricky struck gold with the best steal ever!
What a treasure!
There are 2 winners here ...
Kev + Ricky
There's one winning Voice ...
#KevinSimm for #TeamRicky
✌❤🎤
She was just screaming and sang high notes unnecessarily rather than that her voice is amazing.
Kevin has an amazing voice and vibe 👌
They are so amazing!!! I love Kevin's voice!!!!
Faith is a nice girl and I'm sure she could do well with the right mentoring, but there's just no contest between these two. Kevin Simm is on an entirely different level. Some of the stuff on his channel is incredible. Legit world class. Looks like it'll be Ricky's year again this year.
maybe paloma might win with beth
She definitely was out of key but why did she have to keep getting louder and louder. Kevin was totally mind blowing. The guy can do no wrong in my book. He's so shy because of being pushed to being a "backing singer" in Liberty X when he was clearly more suited to being a solo artist. The business can beat you into submission sometimes.
Well said.
Kevin was incredible, I'm glad he's apart of team Ricky!
Is that the guy from Liberty X?? He's AMAZING :S
I thought kevin won it hands down... she wasn't always on key and was struggling to control her voice during the performance.
+Tim Vincent I agree 1000%
wow what talent you both have, what an amazing duet you both did, I'm proud of you both well done x
So many pitch issues with Faith, Kevin too, but he tried his best with a song and arrangement that suited Faith more. I hope the next round is better.
Totally agree
Its obvious to me that Kevin won that battle but I think Paloma only chose Faith because she wanted to keep both in the competition and Kevin had much better chances of getting stolen. I think Ricky could now have the winner in his team so a bad move for Paloma but I think Ricky and Kevin will be much better suited!
+Saffron Mckay agree right choice for all
Perfect battle, Kevin has an incredible control, range, and Faith has a lot of attitude, and nice tone. It’s obviously that she was nervous but definitely they both gave their best for this battle full of feeling.
this guy is great!!
I thought she would completely smash him but turned out to be opposite, he was really good! shocked he didn't win the battle. They are choosing looks over THE VOICE
Os dois arrasaram! Gente o Kevin canta muuuito, ainda não superei aquela apresentação de Chandelier ❤❤
I don't know what's going on with Kevin but he seemed really emotional... it was like it was a different Kevin we saw at the blinds... hope he sorts himself out cuz he could win this...👌💖
Faith is great and her performance gave me goosebumps, but Kevin has such a melodic and tuned voice, almost flawless.
Apenas descubri esta canción y me encanto y sin duda la versión de Kevin me gusto 😎 le da un estilo diferente, sin duda merecia ganar esta temporada de la voz!
No me gusta la actitud de la Paloma hacia el, lo veo como menospreciando su trabajo, si tuvo fallas en algunas partes pero en general hizo un buen trabajo, la otra chava canta muy bien también, mejor manera de demostrar a los que no confian en tu talento como al coach el ganar el concurso 😎 y tapar bocas
GREAT DUET, IT'S AN EXCEPTIONAL SONG, I LOVE IT
The other judges kept looking at Paloma like wtf 🙄
Kevin shouldn't have chosen Paloma in the first place. Paloma will be regretting her decision of choosing Faith over Kevin on this one. Faith was all over the place.
+Mikka Ella Ladignon they dont even begin to compare, I d have never guessed she d choose Faith... she basically gave Ricky at least a top 3 spot...if not the winner(I hope the winner)
Lol Ricky s chance to win this season just got to %90 how can she win this battle ????????
this song for Faith but Kevin still better!. love both!
Don't know what Paloma was listening to but I thought Faith hit quite a few bum notes there but it turned out ok in the end because Will picked up on him which I thought Kevin should have gone to in the first place. Oh and by the way Palaver, on Kevins first audition you said you wouldn't let him down, pity it took only his 2nd showing do what you promised not to.
Kevin killed that shit.
What a great battle!
Love both of them, amazing cover!
Best battle ever !
I loved this. And so glad both went through.
the fact that she has admitted to fixing this battle in infuriating. Im happy for kevin cos he will do better with a better coach like ricky. But fixing a battle on a talent show is just so wrong, even though this decision was completey done to judges its an unfair advantage

That they can do such a great job on this song and still not come close to the original just shows the talent of Hudson. This is my favorite song by her precisely because she holds back that powerful voice and finds the soulful licks.
Sorry. She was off key a couple of times... It hurt.
When was she on key? Not good at all. Can't believe she was a church singer, usually they are pitch-perfect with amazing control.
+Learning Portuguese with Wilson Loria - and when she wasn't off key she was screaming.
+Blah Dlah I so agree with you she should have left those high notes to Kevin, sounded like she was in pain, had no control in her voice very pitchy as if she was tone deaf
Thank you video ❤❤
the girl is out of tune.
+Larry Macoy well done. medal to you.
+Larry Macoy Yeah, i noticed that too. well, kevin got rick for his coach now.
+fallat1sthurdle ill manners do not becometh thee you torrent of mediocrity
It's horrible
Ok, almost everybody thinks he deserved to win, but you don't have to attack Faith, she is also a good singer.
I like both 💕
Can't believe she won and Kevin don't. WTF Paloma! SO GLAD Ricky stole him. Kevin and Ricky to the final!
1:11 Boy George's face says it all :D
Fab song fab duet but Kevin is something else 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Kevin is a definate contender to win this year with his two fantastic performances so far. His vocal talent is outstanding. His voice is much better heard solo. Never realised when he was in Liberty X how great a singer he really is.
glad he was stole by Ricky.. Thumbs up Ricky!! Kevin has a Voice just give Him the right music.. Bless Him, I can tell he doesnt like that bloody song he looks so worried But atleast he still have chance to get through.. I hope Ricky will look after Him.. x x
I ♥️ Kevin
Fantastic Paloma!
Impresionante hermoso ..gracias a los dos
God she was horrific.
Paradite 1:11 yes lol
All the battles are so intese!
Please take Kevin to the finals! He really has a lovely voice. Don't know how Paloma booted him off. Thank god for Ricky. Hope he wins. He is my favourite.
I love this song! Jade was actually really good, I loved them both I am so happy that they are both still on the show.
+KMirijana great great comment !
+Pamela Oakes-Ash :-)
What were you thinking Paloma?? You gave up a potential winner?? Why is so stupid?? Kevin is the most favorite singer this season to win the show,his voice is incredible. Congrats to Ricky,you have a chance to win this show again. Ricky & Kevin to Win the voice
Very Good!

#Awesome both of them!!
She was terrible how did she win!!! It's beyond me
+richardhalo probably true dude, he's in better hands now.
+Jake Reeve Agreed. I had this played whilst I was working on the pc, so I was just listening...and many times I felt like, wtf screaming, off key, disaster!
+A. Nikolaidoupl
Jake Reeve she didn't win
Dion Hosseini oh
kevin is the best singer in this season ...
Exactly, he should be in the final, I expect to see him.
kevin simm has to win this competition his voice and talent is outstanding off the scale!!
The girl is out of tune. It's clear that Kevin is the real winner
I love #KevinSimm............................... His voice is amazing; and #FaithNelson wowwww... she has a wonderful talent vocal... I Love them!!!
Muchos cariños a ambos desde Chile
Amazing!!!!
he looks like Phil Collins or its just mine impresion ?
Shocked, the girl was so terrible, Kevin was so fantastic as always. So happy Ricky and Kevin to Win the voice 2016
paloma said that she would fight for him during blinds but what happened was the opposite.. kevin is far way amazing.
Kevin Simm, winner of the Voice 2016..
I agree Kevin was better / more consistent but its Faith definitely has some potential. There were moments where her voice was good like at 1:59.. and tbh I feel like Paloma was better matched as a coach for her and Ricky is better with Kevin, so everyone complaining he didnt win, chill, they both ended up in the right hands.
OMG! KEVIN 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏻👌🏻
I think Team Ricky now has the best team after stealing so many good contestants.
kevin soooo happy for you finaly yuv done it i knew it yur a starrrrr 😂😁😀😃😄😅😆
Lol Boy George's hat is huge. 😂😂👏
Well done guys that's unreal
kevin lost that battle? oh well, rick got himself a winner ryt there.. kevin knows what to do nxt time...
I love you Kevin !!!!!!
I can't believe Paloma let this guy go... as Ricky said, "That was ridiculous!"
so happy that Kevin be with Ricky
kevin is awesome. only kevin !!!
I was gonna be so angry if no one stole kevin.
Kevin is great.
Clever and bold move by Paloma to get them both through. So glad it paid off! Unfortunately this means there are a good number of stars in Ricky's team and I worry that will mean we'll lose some of the best as a result.
4 battles from Team Paloma, and 4 steals. Great Team!
We need a full version Spotlight by Kevin
amazing
he sing amazing!
Paloma wanted her to win but he blew her away, she was pitchy all the way through
i wanna watch the full Battle..
Kevin's such a great singer who ( imo that is ) has got it in the bag. He's by far the best singer in this show, & should win it by a country mile. I just sincerely hope that now Paloma has decided to spill the beans & admit that she "fixed it" with Ricky Wilson to steal Kevin just to keep him safe in the competition, it won't make waves for Kevin & taint all of his efforts. Just saying.
+Se7enwonders Think you have got a point there.
Still to this day I know Paloma picked the wrong battle winner, but I think it's because she knew by picking Faith, another judge would easily snap up Kevin. It's likely this was done on her part to make sure both members of her team got through - it's not about which judge wins after all, it's about who is the best singer and getting to showcase their talents.
Im glad paloma didn't pick him..cos i knew he would get a steal and i feel he would be better suited on team ricky. ps kevin is from my home town. do chorley proud!!
glad kevin got saved!!!!!
is paloma freaking nuts wtf, why did she pick her -?? i dont understand, paloma is one of my favorite singers she has good ear omg why she did it,,,---???
Wow! Kevin killed this. I cannot see how anyone would have not chosen him....hard to understand the logic. His range is incredible and he just felt the song a lot more than she did, not to mention the fact that his voice is impeccable. Her pitch was off throughout the song.
Kevin's voice was really soulful and smooth. I think he's a dark horse in this competition.
