They were enjoying it so much they forgot to push the buttons.

@@lidiarivas5040 Well, it seems fun to you but it actually happened to Kali (He is one of the judges in The Voice Czechoslovakia) and he was so sad about it. Anyway, I'm sad about this guy, he did a really good job but maybe it wasn't enough for The Voice.
True
Aya Watanabe hes good and its nice but his voice is not mature and he lacks sustain. its an easy song as well.
I guessed that too đđđ
He has the voice for country.
yeah nope
@@airracer28 Wow such a racist just because he is fat. Look at yourself before you call someone something.
@@nikodaq What I said wasn't racist and I never mentioned anything about his weight. You're talking straight out of your ass.
@@nikodaq how is fat shameing racist???đđđ
But he didn't sing a country song though
It's probably his voice isn't overproduced, like many modern singers' voices are today. He's singing from the heart.
He spoke from the true American heart that we wanted all along
Dude deserves props just for singing it in the original key. I have no idea why so many different covers all use a different key from John Denver.
MERLINNNN NOOOO Forever be missed!
Sword4000 YT my maann
Dear Matthew Vaughn, why Merlin... :((
U serious? He got blown into millions of people
?????
Kingsman suits are their army tho
What more could this man had done to get one to push the button? Pleasant voice, hit all the notes, sung flawlessly.
Wil Robles I don't think they appreciate the song as Americans do, particularly people FROM West Virginia like me. They probably have little knowledge of the song.
That doesn't mean his performance was good.
They don't give a flying fuck about you're performance unless it garbage pop. It's bullshit for the people who actually have talent and don't use auto tune like most of the judges there.
No soul in it, thats all
@@AnonymousOtters second chorus proves you wrong
One of the best songs ever written. Great tribute.
Frustrated that no buttons were pushed. I got literal chills from how good this was
1a
John Denver would be proud
WTF he was excellent
He has the skill, but he doesn't have the voice.
Song choice is everything
no, the song's a classic. I meant that his voice is versatile enough to have chosen a more current song or at least a song that could bring out the more soulful contours of his voice.
Kit Glenwright No, he was fat.
Kit Glenwright I'm not sure I would have pushed either. It is very excellent excuted and he has a great voice. But it is not a technical difficult number and he isn't doing a lot with it. It lacks proof of musical inventivity (not saying he doesn't have that, but it is just not showing).
How can you smile, dance and sing along with him but not press the button
WV born and raised, over 30 years, and this song never gets old. Iâm proud to see so many wonderful covers of this beautiful song about my home, by so many people from far and wide. I hope the people who enjoy this song can visit the wild & wonderful WV :)
wow his voice is amazing surprised none of them pushed their buttons
It would be like someone coming out in america and singing to Polka music. Niche market in the UK. Their biggest market is going to be their own country, then the rest of the world.
he shook his voice well (sorry forgot the term) but he didnt really show his capabilities
vibrato
letseewhathappens101 they did afterward
No, his voice is not amazing, he's a terribly average singer with very little feeling or swing in him. Glad you're not on the jury!
Its okay guys dudes got his own album now.
exodus2oo He does?
Any link?

ìŹă ă quit speaking Mexican
These judges are deaf, that was BEAUTIFUL!
If he sang over here, there would be a quick succession of button pressing. You sing that song, youâve united the United States for three minutes longer than most politicians.
He was sorta out of tune, but overall, a great performance.
NO beautiful was when John denver sang it.
Agreed
@@kazutrashsato8883 Microtonal
If he sang Mr Brightside they would have turned. Or Don't Look Back In Anger
He may have lost, but he won our hearts
I'm a West Virginia native and resident and this song is like the unofficial state anthem! I often forget how famous this song is, but seeing the Brit and Aussie judges sing along really made me happy, because WV is such a beautiful place, our motto is 'Wild and Wonderful' for a reason. But common ground aside, it is such a masterfully simple and exquisite expression of love and nostalgic longing for home, that it doesn't matter where you're from- this song just hits something inside.
I had a teacher who served in Vietnam, and he said that this song was on a jukebox in the canteen, and whenever it played the boys would all go quiet.
Oh really?
Ironically, the writers of the song are from Maryland, btw. West Virginia just sounded better
Read that somewhere once
Perhaps totally different from the other Virginia, which most of the world HATED.
@@chlim9478 fun fact the song is about the western part of virginia
@@thewonder4527 Come on man, you know where I mean
WTF he nailed that song why didn't anyone turn? wow..
Becuase they are British and they are salty at America still or something I dunno, regardless of any reason he nailed that song and should have got all buttons pressed!
the strong American accent in songs such as this isnt desirable in England. Decently sung though i'll give him that
As a West Virginian man you killed it. You're amazing John Denver would be proud
Italian here, "forced" by necessities to live outside his region and missing his hometown nearly everyday. This song is a masterpiece and has nothing to do only with West Virginia itself, it's a state of mind. It manages to capture the essence of nostalgia and it makes you feel less alone in the world. Mr. Denver was really a poet and this lad did a wonderful job at delivering by singing. Still surprised none of the judges pressed their button.
That's exactly what John Denver wanted with this song. It wasn't meant to be about the place, it was about the idea :D
JOHN YOU WERE FANTASTIC! SUCH A PURE VOICE - YOU CAN SING ANYTHING - JUDGES MISSED OUT NOT CHOOSING YOU BUT THIS IS HOW THESE PROGRAMS GO.
KEEP AT IT FELLA - YOU'RE ALMOST THERE !!! LOVELY GUY AND DID BELFAST PROUD. XXX
Hello đ Rosie.. How are you doing today?
I like your comments. I HOPE YOU ARE DETERMINED AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?
ARE THEY SMOKING POT Theyâre not pushing the button
No he just sucked plain and simple!! Dude should stick to Karaoke Bars!!
@@connorhanson131 I think he did okay. His vocals are good, he's just not holding out the notes long enough. (For the record, I'm not saying I'd do better, he's probably nervous as hell, so it'd make sense if that's the reason.)
Paul Nu fuck you
He doesn't have to, one does not need to do something better to have his own opinion.
Trust me if they were smoking pot they would have pushed the button even if they didn't want too.
His voice is incredible!đ±
Man! How could they haven't pressed the button? This guy had a MEMORABLE performance!
This man was living in 2080. Damn what a trooper for giving us that fallout 76 leak
Prime Thoticus thicc pic
You really gonna act like it wasnât a song 40 years before fallout came out
@@solarbeef4496 Yes
@@solarbeef4496 you really just going to miss the joke
I was not expecting him to sound like that.
Awesome voice.
Same here.
This guy's voice is amazing he did a great job singing a classic I enjoyed his performance of Take Me Home Country Roads
BEST SONG EVER. Is it just me, or does American want our country to be what John Denver imagined it would be? An honest, pure and beautiful country it once was for a brief spell? I do believe it that is what America wants and needs. Now more then ever.
why didnt they push the button, he sang it really really good
If this was in murica, buttons would have been pushed af
The red nuke button.
Blake would have pressed it if no one else. Really it would have probably have been 3 or all of them turning over here.
RubiksTimmey soo true
RubiksTimmey still salty about the states beating them in 1776
Trueđ
There's a certain calmness in his voice that makes this song so much more beautiful... that magical touch indeed!
Probably the only country song that has so much universal appeal.
49% Come from Fallout
49% Come from Merlin Kingsman (:c)
2% Normal :D
its awesome though how the game and movie are making people discover Denver's music for the first time. Pretty special
Aqiel Amigos I came from both
I am the 98 percent
I'm the 2%
Fallout
In the vault 76
Future begins
Fran Ksz it will be up to you to rebuild our great nation.
Fran Ksz YEAH !!!
Vault door closes
FUCK-
Not walls, not buildings.... but hearts and minds... and... America itself!!
He has a very calm soothing voice, with that warm tavern keeper greeting,
Poor guy he can really singđ
I thinck he got a CZcams channel
he doesn't sing very well
@@octavius8562 lol
@@octavius8562 why would you say something like that
I can sing better
I've been listening to covers of this song for 45mins and this is still my favorite (along with Russel Moore and Illrd Tyme Out). Finally someone brings power to this song, well done!
This boy sings with his heart & soul. Great...... !!!
This is the first song I ever heard as a child. It was 2003 and I loved the song then. I'm now 20 and still appreciate it
This was a great cover. He has an amazing voice for this song
after listening to that song I couldn't help but write a little message, a very talented man with an incredible voice, God bless
You go John Rafferty !!! John Denver would be proud !!!!!
*đ§đ·se fosse no Brasil todos teriam virado, o cara mandou muito bemđđđđ*
Would bring John Denver to tears
As a native of Charleston, WV now living in Perth, Australia --- Take Me Home Country Roads
I admit i first heard this song in kingsman
My was in american dad
Herr drumpf SAMEEEE
R I P Merlin
Then I pity on you!
Me too
Great job. You have a nice voice. Go on singing in this way. Congratulations.
beautiful, without words to describe the beauty of this interpretation
That man is very talented! He deserves to be on The Voice!
what a great voice he was born to sing this version of john denvers hit. I hope some one gives him the chance to make a single of this great song and go on to have a great career.
Was fĂŒr eine Stimme, wow einfach klasse groĂes Kino â€ïž
Unacceptable. That was a beautiful performance and so was his voice. Hope he gets somewhere far with his singing and is successful.
bruh people can have there own opinions
Didn't say they can't, I just expressed my opinion
This is such a great song,I dont understand how people dont like it .
wtf poor guy, the judges so unfair with him
They were fair enough, he did a very poor job singing Country Roads and it had no fluidity whatsoever.
@Skelix you can't lip sync in this. You simply can't.
Favorited heâs saying itâs so good it seems lip synced, you stupid fuck
@@brodied.6230 what a sad world you live in
Brody Dabrawolski um, itâs a blind audition dude, they didnât know if he was fat or not
This song makes me cry. I was 15 when for the first time I listened back in my country El Salvador. Good memories.
I love this guy. Absolutely amazing.
i cant believe nobody pushed the button ..
+HaydeN 2k9 ... Believe it ....
+MrSpeedo804 He is goood. :)
that's what naruto said
casue he is fat
I can't believe it's not butter.
That was so beautiful. It made me cry. He has the voice of a Country Angel.
This dude doesn't know what he's doing, everyone knows you have to have a traumatic past to win this thing
Literally
lmfaooo, literalyl truth here!
@@nightfalls5462 I never watched this show, is this actually true?
@@fabienzaca if you start with a sob story, then yes, you usually win,
His voice is fantastic
Ok,I'm gonna sound really rude right now> For a Brit to sing a Southern country anthem, he did REALLY FUCKIN' GREAT !!!!!!! Not a trace of an English accent. love it !!!!!
Yeah he really nailed that Southern accent :)
ya, was good accent
That wasnât that rude
Such a pity, amazing singer and such a good guy.
as a west virginian myself, he did an AMAZING job, john denver would of been impressed, these judges did him wrong.
1:14 and so on was just perfection..
This is a man of pure elegance.
Thank u guys for supporting my state where I live!
I finished your icon
Is it wrong that I'm not an American but this song brings me to tears?!
Every single time.. Damn it.
