I'm so honored to have been able to do this song by an artist that has inspired me tremendously, the incomparable Stevie Wonder! Thanks so much for the love on this performance. Being on this show has been a lifelong dream and the experience has been life changing and exhilarating! Love everybody that supports me! 💙💙
My boy Ray. The 4 chair sniper! Your voice is absolutely captivating. The way you made me feel so much in this 2 minute performance. I’m so damn glad that we were able to be battle partners and now you’re my lifelong brother. You are going to go so far in this competition and in your music career. I cannot wait to see it all happen in real time. #Season23
@@userunknown1578 please, quit going to every comment section on rays performances and trying to bring him down. You aren't the one people are here to see and absolutely no one has agreed with you. And what's the point of going to the kindest person I've ever seen on this show and trying to incite negativity with him too. Both of them are phenomenal artists, just let people enjoy their performances.
@@quinn4768 It's not about Ray being bad, he isn't by a longshot... It's about Chance getting rid of his best singers 2 weeks in a row... Next he'll be trying to get Manasseh off his team. It reminds me of when Miley Cyrus got rid of Chloe and Addison.
Ray Uriel sang this song so beautifully, all of the reflections in his voice were superb. I loved it tremendously, it was thrilling to my soul. Excellent
Stevie songs are tough to execute, they're so iconic. He did a great job. Songs In The Key Of Life was the very first album I ever bought as a kid. I saved my pocket money, chore money, baby sitting the neighbours kids money to buy it. I think it was around 1976. I wore the needle out on my record player, PROUDLY learning every lyric to every song on the album in a couple of days.
Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy. Seductive in a sweet way. What a lovely soothing voice to hear in the midst of a dying world. Thanks for giving an old girl a huge lift. I could listen to you Ray, for days. So get busy with that album. Blessings young man.
This man's voice is constantly flipping between Brian McKnight and Lionel Richie. Prefect blend of smooth and raspy. I believe him and Cait Martin, have their futures made.
First of all this song always brings me to tears and Ray's voice reminds me of a Ralph tresvant of the 90s. Blake nailed that when he mentioned it too . Hope he goes far in the competition, love his smooth voice.
When Ray Uriel sing ''Lately'' By Steve Wonder During His first Knockout rounds performance of The Voice Last night Wow I thought He did such A great & Amazing Job, He sound like He was singing from The heart, It was Beautiful & Very Entertainment So In other words Congratulations To Him for making through to The Next round Because I think He deserve It!!!
These knockouts are unbelievable! It's like everyone is going all out😭😭 My prayers are with the coaches having to make decisions as to whom they let to advance.
These young artists never miss they always hit I am such a lover of their music and loving their new music and their style these guys are really hitting hard what can I say seventeen never disappoint.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really tender and well executed. Not a natural powerhouse, but sung it sweet and smart, still giving us dynamics. Knew exactly where to start so that he still had somewhere to take us. People don't realize dynamics are just as much about strategy and musicality as they are technical power.
@@ArthurCalis879 ...comparing to the others he was ordinary..he didnt take it to a next level..stay safe just like in the battle...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhe is going home!
Everytime there is a contestant singing 'Lately' in any competition, it reminded me with Amber Holcomb from American Idol 2012... Her version of Lately just the best...
I dont understand the hate between this guy. Ray is so phenomenal his voice is so beautiful and smoothing. This guy would be good on the radio he has a really good voice. Even if nariyella has a powerhouse voice. I loves this guy's performance more. I like the smoothing and radio voices more than the loud voices. Spoiler alert This guy makes it to the top 8 hopping he makes it to the finale
Don't understand the hate he's getting here. Yes, Nariyella was a great powerhouse vocalist but I think it came down to what Chance needed on his current team. He has Manessa, another powerhouse, already in the playoffs. Ray did amazing and his dynamics really flowed with his song choice. Give him his flowers 🌹
Because Nari was the best singer on his team... 2 weeks in a row he got rid of the most popular among the fans, NOIVAS, and now the best singer, Nari. He's terrible at this game.
@@userunknown1578 Respectfully, if that was the case, one of the judges would've stolen her to be on their team. They hear a lot more than we do as viewers but I agree, NOIVAS is super talented and deserving to be in the playoffs just as Ray is. His improvement has shown consistently since his blind.
Me too. I thought she would’ve lasted longer in the competition, but her song choice for the knockouts could’ve been better. She has a great voice but unfortunately didn’t showcase it and instead focused too much on performing/acting.
nariyela's KO performance is incomplete for some reason. As blake mentioned, she is holding back. also ray definitely won this round imo even he got 3/4 votes
I thought Chance literally fell out of his chair when Noivas laughed his crazy laugh. This season has been excellent but Noivas is sooo amazing and knows how to deliver a performance that you’re going to be talking about. And here I am still talking about it!
He really shined with this song, but im miss nariyella :( But are they seriously not going to post any of the loser's performances?? after we waited two weeks??
I’m new to The Voice and was wondering if that is usually how it’s done. It’s weird not to see the other performances when commenting on this competition. I enjoyed both Ray and Nariyellas performances and think they are both quite talented. Naryella has the bigger and more impressive voice, but I do think the coaches were pleased with her song choice. It shouldn’t matter that much, and I think as far as evaluating the song choice goes, it should be about how well the song suits the contestants voice. But I think Kelly was almost offended that Nariyella chose to sing a song about revenge and violence, when most contestants picked inspirational songs for this stage of the competition. I think her praise of Ray’s performance as “tasteful” was a subtle dig at Nariyella. I think it’s the only time besides the blind auditions when the contestants get to pick a song and showcase how they think of themselves as artists. I got the impression that none of the coaches thought that Bust the Windows Out Your Car, was a good song choice. I think Kelly would have been open to stealing her if she sang a different song. Chance tried to be as diplomatic as possible and praise them both by saying that he preferred Ray’s performance that day, but Naryella had been stronger this far in the competition. It’s sad, because there is nothing wrong with singing songs like that from time to time or writing one like that for an album. But I can see why people think it’s not great to pick it as one of two songs that represent you as an artist.
NariYella really deserved a playoff pass, but I'm sure she would have been a finalist for Team Chance anyway Chance made the worst mistake in all of The Voice history
Idk what y’all are saying too. NariYella was pitchy and was not as strong in this performance, even though she was a “4 chair turn” Chance doesn’t hesitate to take 1 chair turns over 4 chair turns who weren’t as good as these dark horse 1 chairs
I'm so honored to have been able to do this song by an artist that has inspired me tremendously, the incomparable Stevie Wonder! Thanks so much for the love on this performance. Being on this show has been a lifelong dream and the experience has been life changing and exhilarating! Love everybody that supports me! 💙💙

He might be one of my favorites. If not MY FAVORITE. UNDERDOG CITY. I’m rooting for Ray all the way!
His voice is absolutely amazing.
One of my fave tones. Esp his battles.
I’ve been replaying this song since the battles! Ray I’m in awe of your talent! I can’t wait to hear you sing again!
Ray really made me FEEL this song...goosebumps.. He really honored Stevie with this performance of his masterpiece.
Ray is really growing on me, each performance is better than the last 👌
i think this is going to be my new obsession HE SOUNDS SO GOOD
Love his voice truly, he should already have an album out!
His tone is soothing. Brilliant performance

Love this! Thank you so much! 💙 The album will certainly be coming!
Wow, Uriel did Stevie Wonder justice with Lately. His runs were insane, and his falsetto voice smooth as butter.
I love ray he such a great singer what a beautiful performance cant wait to hear more of him.
The 4 chair turn killer he was amazing with this Stevie Wonder classic.And he was a one chair turn.
We all know NOIVAS was the real winner of that Battle... It was scripted for NOIVAS to end up on Blake's team.
@@userunknown1578 IT looks like all the blocked singers went back to the coach who was blocked
@@cyberrich will Neil Salsich go to Kelly coz she was blocked?
So sad nariyella went home, powerhouse singer this season :((

I am so madly in love with this….and him! Most beautiful, pure, melodic voice. It’s missing right now in music world. It’s….perfect.
His voice is soooo sweet! Love it!
Nothing beats soulful music💯 Well done
His tone is absolutely beautiful
he just keeps getting better
one of the greatest R&B songs

Ray just might win this whole thing. I said after his battle, he is a FORCE. So smooth and addicting to listen to. Go Ray!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love how he went from almost not turning a chair in the blinds to beating out 2 four chair turners. He's gonna do great in the lives
You are so fabulous Ray. Your runs, and execution of this song was so flawless. Most of all, it came from your heart. Well done!
What a song!
What a voice!
