What is your favorite performance by Okulaja? 👇
Semi-finals
I can’t hold us and the and I have a dream and the battles there are awesome😎 and so cool I love it the best he performance is the greatest
Where is the love really hit home!!
ALL OF THEM
Battles
His mom did such a good job raising her Kidd. The way the younger ones look up to him is so beautiful
For really sure!
It's funny how he was sent home then came back and got to the finale. He is such an inspiration.
It's good that he didn't let his pride come between....
Like literally promoted to semis.... Another would have thought he should come here himself or herself
He is absolutely a class act, WE NEED HIM right now in the world WE NEED HIM.
I Would spend my money buying this guy's music.
Will.I.Am is just amazing! So far, I know of 3 young men for whom he alone turned around for, in the very last minute. All 3 ended up in the FINALE!
Yes he is! I ❤ him...
He definitely knows talent when he sees/hears it. He's worked with some of the biggest entertainers/stars in the music industry.
Okulaja and Janel did a sick song together. It sounded like a concert or a song that would be on the Radio. Hey, you both blew the roof off. Loved it. It actually reminded me of the Fugees with Lauryn Hill times. That was their best time.
Maybe in the future they could record a song it would be great
Definitely NEED to do a studio version. It was a great number.
Yes they did.It need to be recorded and marketed...
Yes it's my favorite even though this is the first time I heard them
I really liked Okulaja's own rap verse he did in the second verse. Awesome, how he turned a generally negative narrative from the song into his own positive narrative, saying how it can all be better in life. The world needs more people like him.
Agreed! I liked what Okulaja did with Where Is The Love. His verse was a perfect alternative to slip in there and bring some light to an otherwise predominantly darkness-filled world. Well done Okulaja
Okulaja should team up with Donel and drop a hit!
This man will be our next prime minister! #TeamOkulaja
I hope he gets to rap and sing for about 10 years first! :D
@@b.bailey8244 Yesssss. And if he becomes a PM someday, he SHOULD DELIVER his inaugural speech in RAP 😅😃😂
Nas and Lauryn Hill should be proud. They killed this performance.
I smiled at "Jamaican Queen and Prime Minister"
They were STUNNING together. I really want them to make more music together. Absolutely brilliant!
Yes same hia
Thank goodness you turned WILL....we have
You to thank for letting
US ALL witness his talent!
I knew his from Nigeria from his name and then his mother name Yinka confirmed it. Wonderful boy
Proud of our very own 🇳🇬
I guess so too, Naija vibes! it's in the blood. thanks for cementing my guess sis
I’m very inspired by this young man. I don’t listen to rap or hip-hop, but I know a good singer when I hear one! Hopefully he’ll be picked up by a record label so he can perform for the world. We all need representation no matter what color we are. Sing on!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If this guy went for becoming the prime minister I would definitely vote for him
I hope he continues to rap and sing. I'm sure he'll be prime minister 1 day. Great job . I'm not a rap fan but you made me listen to what you were saying.
Janelle withdrawing from the competition seems like she was rooting for Akulaja.
That lady was amazing to give him the place
Jamaica Queen and Prime Minister are vibes. Wowwww
HE HAS SUCH A STRONG PRESENCE AND IS A GREAT PERFORMER OMG!! I’m so excited for him.
"I hope when you grow up you guys love the world"
Will, you are a gift to your singers!! But, I think you also knew that the competition was so horrendously powerful. Equally talented as your contestant, just in another way -- and you have a perfect understanding of what can happen with FANTASTIC standing on every side of you! This WAS a win for that young man!!
That 'If I Ruled The World' rendition!?!?!?!?! NEEDS to be studio recorded wthhhhh! His 1st verse hit sooooo hard
That was a great pairing and a great friggin song choice. Wow. Vision.
He's such a great talented rapper at such a young age & his auditions are just so stunning & spellbinding 😍👋
He's a great kid. Positive energy. Hope he can make it big and uplift his family and young people! Thanks for showing him Love!
I just know his mother’s prayer and God brought him back in the competition!!! African mothers have crazyyy faith🙏🏿❤️
RIDICULOUS FAITH...THEY ARE PRAYER WORRIORS! DON'T MESS WITH US‼️💯
I guess my favorite performance of the night was when the two sang together the song by Lauryn Hill that definitely can be pressed in vinyl
Nas - If I ruled the world
@@temetatauz “If I ruled the world” was a perfect choice of music for him. The dudes a special person, with big goals. I hope one day he makes history as a singer and humanitarian🙏🏻
You MUST be crazy in the UK that he didn't win! He IS the whole package! 💕🔥
This kid has got something special
He is an extraordinary man. I love his attitude. I love the love he obviously has for his family.
His eyes.... The love for his family
I watched this episode 5 times i was so impressed with Okulaja. This kid sang and rapped about the truths in this big beautiful world. I loved the performance he did with Wil.IAM.I feel he should have won. It just goes to show you there's still the ole don't use your voice to stand up If your of another color. This kid will go far in life without The Voice, Because he is educated and smart and he does have a voice. His own. And i heard him. Something we all should listen to. Where is the love.
I would like to know, where was his voice, he made a pig's ear out of the song.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 it wasn't about his voice e.. it was about how the kid could rap.. he wrote rap off the charts. go back and listen to his words.. it's a story to listen to.. I didnt think he could sing that good.. but that kid is one heck of a rapper.
@@lindastewart6232 "it wasn't about his voice" Remind me; What is the name of the show, again???
In my opinion, he should write poetry, and leave the singing to those that can.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 the show is the voice . the episodes where he was on..he want really that good at singing. he was exceptionally gifted when he rapped. and he did write his own rap.
God's speed Olukaja. You are what the world needs right now, 'HOPE IN GOD" you rock Son👏👏👏
Whenever he smiles, i become so happy and smile too......his smile is so magical as his talent is....😀
Okulaja...!!!! Sooooo dope...!!!
Felt heartbroken when he was sent home "like I almost cried" but glory to God he made it to d final.
He's just so unique, sings & raps along with perfect breath control. Mehn...!! This dude is fire....!!!! Okus to the world....!!!
A mother couldn't ask for any more than this! In sending this to my son!
Right, she must be so proud. && The love he has for his little siblings.. they will look up to && be inspired by him always. Such a beautiful family💝💝💝💝
He is an outstanding individual and the world is his oyster!
A. You're anointed! Keep going!
I'm so honoured to be a day one fan of okulaja way before he joined the voice the days where he freestyled on tiktok 💯😭 he did his fans proud but most importantly he did his family proud 👏
WOW, THIS YOUNG MAN GIVES ME HOPE. YOUR BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, I AM ACTUALLY HAPPY FOR YOU THAT YOU DID NOT WIN THIS COMPETITION, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT FOR YOU.
I truly hope you become the first Black Prime Minister! You rock!
Best Battle rounds I've ever seen on any Voice.
Please come to the US. You are beyond amazing! What I have learned from award shows is that the winner is a reflection of the majority of the audience's taste in music. Your an entertainer, not just a singer, and that's what makes you awesome. People will remember you and only you!
OKulaja gave me goose bumps right off the bat. That guy can tweak any thang. Did you hear that rendition of NAS's rule the world? Imagine that y' all
Dear black child your dreams are valid 🖤🤞
How about Dear child
HIS SMILE REMINDS ME OF JOHN LEGEND
My gods, the love in his little brother's eyes... The pride. Great work sir, you keep pushing and I will vote for you for PM.
I really hope he becomes prime minister. We need people like him ruling the world
the pair during the battle round shouldn't have been split. they should be together in a duo
That would’ve been sick🔥🔥🔥
Righht
He’s going to be headlining festival in the future, complete fire 🔥🔥🔥
Wow he’s fantastic! and passionate to make a difference! God speed to him! 🎶😍
Okulaja is a vibe! 🔥
Incredible and inspiring! He is wise beyond his years and he has such mega talent and passion! Love him! 🎶😍
i am convinced that Okulajas rhymes and voice could fit straight into broadway, he can be a huge star
I would, in a heartbeat, buy their version of “If I Ruled the World”. That was amazing!
I love this guy! I was feeling really depressed this morning and then I watch this… And I feel so much better… There is hope for the world
Singing that Song with Will must be the greatest feeling in the world. WOW
i hope these two massive talents work together in the future; I see Platinum! they killed it on "if I ruled the world" - they worked well together. Janel did a big -heart thing there by withdrawing... I honestly think that together, these two are an unstoppable FORCE - Okulaja and Janel (hope i spelled it right)! Okulaja is a beautiful person; I love his heart so much; and Janel, no less. Their souls shine through and that is what makes them standouts.
For some reason I read that as the ksi “PLATINUM
Okulaja I love your spirit ,you are such an amazing person
If I ruled the world wow, best rendition of a classic that's ever been on the show, this kid is a breath of fresh air and restored my faith in the youth
He inspires me a lot, each time I hear him I feel I can do more for my self and the world right from Nigeria
Loooove his passion and confidence!! (Also liked the dynamite bg for his vcr)
This is sick Love it, his flow and spirit is truly phenomenal.
Blessings brother keep being you blood.🙏💙💯
He is so handsome and talented- and his little brother is awesome- love them both!!!!🥰🥰
Okulaja you are the best continue shining and making your family proud you are a star
God bless you.
They gave me chills…. they can perform together 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing young man with an equally amazing talent! God bless! ♡
His final song was fitting for what he stands for. ❤❤❤
Where is the love was definitely my favorite! Him and will sounded so good together
Whenever I see WILLS , SIR JOHN , I really know what it means because he rely picks something so fast and he has a golden heart of change 🙏🙏
His mom and siblings are beautiful

More and more respect for Will 🙌🏾
He sings like a Pro. Lucky for him to back on stage. Will. I.am have such a big heart and I love him.
OMG! The battle was awesome!
I weirdly felt like he had Nigerian roots and boom!!!....His mum's got a Nigerian name
Yes
When I saw his name I knew he had a Nigerian background cos that name is a Yoruba name
Wow... he stole my heart from the beginning too ... but his journey was so inspiring. #purpose ... think of how many kids will be inspired. I get it ....
What an absolutely amazing young man and so inspirational.
Kim
He is a very smart young man this is awesome. Thank You
Okulaja's values keeps springing fort from all this raps. His mother all all around him have done a great job raising a great leader. I wouldn't be surprise to hear of him doing great things around the world soon. Keep up!!!

His voice is really unique.
I wish Janel could get a recording deal... she is ready
