The best voice in the group with Matt a close second.

I bet they recognized his voice ... He's a professional ALLREADY.

Richard 's fantastic voice made Collabro win BGT 2014 . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6uYeJdzy5-RgaM.html

He is a former member of collabro :(

Well, he DID walk out, before they'd have had the chance to. Pity.

If they turn it is to indicate that they are interested in coaching him, nothing to do with them giving him prise for his excellent performance, they are looking for someone who has the potential but needs coaching, I do not think that Richard would take being coached by someone else,, and tbh he does not need it.

​@@kathyregan7780 EXACTLY. When you go on The Voice, you are placing your fate on the judges. You must be prepared for the possibility of them not turning around if your type of voice don't suit their style or if you're unsuitable for coaching. You shouldn't blame the judges for that.

I am in agreement with you.

Nice to see your support group with you. And remember we are all supporting you out here. Great job

Richard did make it his own!

No need to shout...

@@ticketyboo2456 I'M NOT SHOUTING, THIS IS HOW I COMMENT FOR FUN, NOT FOR YELLING, I'M GETTING TIRED OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING HOW I COMMENT IN UPPERCASE LETTERS, LETTERS ARE LETTERS 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

Is TJ still relevant up to this day? Why he didn’t turn?

@@amorariola6683 I HAVE NO CLUE

Maybe professional jealousy because he was better at the song than the original.

They did ....he was on the show.

Tom is just jealous that Richard sings the cover better than he does, and other judges don't dare press it because this song is by Tom and Tom didn't press it. i who have nothing, the tom doesn't sing like the original Italian version, or the first English version by Ben E. King. Sherly Bessey also sings differently. This song is not by Tom alone, each cover has its own style. And Tom just wants to hear others sing like him. Outrageous that, Tom Jones.

@@Mali-pg5rv He didn't sing it better than Tom Jones did. Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey both sang the song perfectly. Richard just sang it loud and shouted part of it. It had no finesse and style. That's why they didn't turn.

You do realize that was a tom Jones song in which he won a Grammy for it.

Ofc it's rigged, just like "Nationality" got Talent. Contestants have to audition for a casting crew before they even get to do it for the real jury. That's what I hate about these "entertainment" shows. The production team lets through people who they know don't stand a chance just so they can be ridiculed on TV. Imagine hearing the casting crew say "Congratulations! You've gone through!" just to later, in front of the audience, hearing..."You suck!"

Firstly, it’s not rigged - as someone on this season, who knows Richard from Brighton prior to the show and also who knows Harrison, maybe you should keep your uneducated opinions to yourself.

@@rhys-christianmobsby6075 my comment isn’t anything to with being “uneducated” or not. It was a simple comment stating how a singer who is clearly good enough to have previously won a big tv talent show such as Britain’s Got Talent (as show that is much bigger than the voice and actually produces famous contestants) should get at least one chair turn from the coaches, compared to someone like Harrison, who without any disrespect, his vocal wasn’t strong enough to get all four coaches to turn their chairs. Richard probably had to tell the producers on the voice that he won BGT, in a group called Collabro, which they probably wouldn’t want him to win the entire show because in some peoples eyes, Richard could be deemed as a professional singer.

@@MFC-er4dd you can’t say “no disrespect” and then go on to disrespect someone. Harrison has thing Richard will never have, just like Richard has things Harrison will never have. It’s luck on the night and dependant on what each coach is looking for. It’s nothing to do with Richard’s previous win - we had west end performers, church choir leaders etc on our season who were all given a chance. Don’t speculate and say the show is rigged when you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, and actively diminish the efforts of those who DID get through because one of your favourites didn’t.

@@rhys-christianmobsby6075 Let’s be honest here and look at the how as a TV show and a business. The show wants to have contestants who can appeal to what is popular in the music industry at that moment, which will draw in views and make money. The producers can control and edit the contestants clips how ever they want. The producers can also tell a singer to sing a specific song to appeal to a mass audience. If the show is called “The Voice” then the stronger singers should get through (with both Richard and Harrison are both strong singers in their own right). It just seems little bit questionable when the acts that got turned away from this specific episode were stronger singers than someone who got a four chair turn.

I agree. I think this UK version is horrid for not turning at the end. Not nice at all. The US version turns and offers some encouragement and advice going forward. Its very distasteful to leave someone standing there looking at the back of chairs.

@@markspringer2968 Whats lost is the inter action with contestants cos some time the there disappointment was softed by the inter action with the judges and even singing with them ..something there just started to do in the austtralian version

He was flat.... I can understand no turns.

@@LadyDragonsblood Agreed his last note sounded strained

it wasn't his choise; they aren't free to choose what ever they want!

@@wiel40 Not true. They choose their own song for the audition.

@@SymphonyBrahms just read the interview with him; he told that. And I know that at the voice they don't sing what they want, but what the firm wants.

Yes. You are right.

He actually won BGT as part of Collabro. Ironically, AGT treated Collabro no better than Richard was treated here. He is a powerhouse of a singer.

I agree 100% sometimes a singer needs the structure of a group sometimes and he one of those his voice was all over the place it didn't flow it seemed forced just not a good performance. I've heard several different stories why he left Collabra bad move but it makes me feel sad for him I'm also guessing he don't have a voice teacher because she won't have let him perform this song not a good choice for him.

Tell me why we are wrong what did you hear that makes you say that ? I'm 56 years old I've been in music starting at 6 years old I was what they call a prodigy at a very early age. Music to me should flow not be forced don't get me wrong his tone,diction even his performance was good that being said the song he tried to put to much into it thinking he would show that he could sing really anything but with the song choice it didn't work. I've followed him after BGT sorry to say I've not been impressed with his work maybe he needs to move on leave behind this type of music I do believe when he finds his place in music he will be a huge success.
