All of her performances are outstanding but her duet with Sir Tom Jones was stunning! Her full round voice, her tone and harmonies with him were PERFECT!

She is a STAR... I have seen many singing competitions NEVER heard a voice like hers, I had good bumps!

@miyahsmommy7172 Місяць тому

I'm not sure if this young lady's momma is watching this or reading comments on this, but it's absolutely fine to cry watching your talented baby live her dreams. I know you are so proud of her as she's such an amazingly wonderful talent and beautiful young lady!!

@elisageorge2261 Місяць тому

I'm not sure if that's her natural flowing voice or if she's studied and mimicking the original artist of that song voice 🤔

Sir Tom Jones did very well to turn his chair around on her audition. She has a beautiful voice.

@dannyderden8545 28 днів тому

Such talent. That duet with Tom Johns was absolutely MAGICAL!!!

@yoksnod Місяць тому

One of the very few rare people to come from The Voice UK and actually be genuinely awesome. Also has since released some great music which is severely underrated. Ruti should be a huge star by now, much more than she already is. She deserves it. More than anyone. Such a unique and powerful voice. 100% gets my vote.

That' was 2018. England was so nice before all the crazy years started. So nice to see people hugging each other. Tom Jones is so incredibly kind and gracious. A true gentleman!

@Mozimike Місяць тому

What do you mean by « crazy years »?

@michaelmcdonnell6611 Місяць тому

Holy Guacamole!!!! I love her voice. And her smile. And her everything. I'm so glad she won. She sings like an angel.

@am1_am1 Місяць тому

My late dad loved SIR TOM JONES & he actually reminds me so much of him in his looks & his gentle manner soft smile. He’s give Ruti really great songs, she is a beautiful singer. Her sound is different she reminds me of Sinead O’Connor. I’d love her to sing nothing compares to you.

@1wmnofpraze 27 днів тому

You can tell she is young and what I think is beautiful about her performances she did not look over sexualized. Beautifully modest with the pureness of her voice.

@judyfay6318 Місяць тому

Ruti is the BEST EVER chosen winner, boy can she sing, oh yes! No loud screeching for her. Wonderful melodious voice. Can’t wait to hear more of you 👏👏👏👏

@teacheryute6701 Місяць тому

What a humble and yet so amazingly talented young lady. Beautiful voice. Tom is so proud. Bless her mom and dad for raising this awesome young lady.

@terijo67 Місяць тому

Ruti more than deserved this win. She is amazing. I get chills with certain singers, and she is one of them. I especially felt it when she sang "What a Wonderful World" with Sir Tom Jones. I love how she is a real person with a lovely soul. She didn't expect anything but she gave everything she had to give.

@MollysMom19 Місяць тому

Ruti does have a beautiful soul. Paired with her musical talent and great voice, not to mention her versatility. She can wear anything, any hairstyle, any type of shoes. She even nailed her duet with Sir Tom and matching voices with him is not easy. She definitely earned her win and I am so happy she did win.

@GuantanamoBayBarbie3 Місяць тому

It is rather amazing that he sounds just as good in his 80s as he did in his 20s. I grew up in the 60s & 70s & heard all his hits. He hasn't lost anything, & he's still a very handsome man.

@scottieledford9371 Місяць тому

Her tone on Dreams was magical! Wonderful voice without question! Congratulations young lady!

@nicolafraser-smith737 Місяць тому

When I first heard Ruti, she reminded me of Joan Armatrading! Similar intonations, but on listening further, Ruti is "A Star in the making!" Can't wait to see if she gets an album out. I will be first in the queue. BRING IT ON RUTI! Congratulations.

@marthalisk303 26 днів тому

Tom looks like a proud Grandpa with Ruti! Her personality is adorable. I love her sound. Great songs chosen that suit her. Tom is a great coach!

@wandachapman2403 Місяць тому

Such a beautiful spirit in this young woman, they raised her well !!

@Lionforaday Місяць тому

Tom heard something special in Ruti, though I think over time, all the judges - including Tom - and perhaps even Ruti herself - were surprised by her stamina, range & quiet but genuine showmanship. She is a star and her voice simply soars.

@totjazzy2198 Місяць тому

Tom picked all the best songs for her. Great job

@beeonthyme5760 Місяць тому

Only one chair turned around, but that right one! She's amazing, I love her voice, it's warm, soft, caressing, and powerful. Great singer! A wonderful job Sir Tom Jones! I was curious to see which coach would turn around, knowing only one of them did it. Sir Tom Jones was the clairvoyant! Thanks for the video, it has been an honor listening to this talented young lady, let's say... STAR!

@lifesabitch8012 Місяць тому

To be honest I'm in the US & watch this just to see Sir Tom Jones!! My Mom & I use to watch his show on our black and white TV in the late 60's & dance together in the living room! I miss my parents so much and can't wait to hear their voices and feel their love again!! Ruti definitely has an outstanding voice! Deserved to win! CONGRATULATIONS RUTI!!❤🎉☝️💯💔😘🕺🎶❤️🫶Love You Tom! ❤️🫶🎶🕺

Gorgeous Ruti - she was such a refreshing and delightful soul. It was so magical watching her expand into her talent and confidence, while staying humble and sweet to the end. Surely the loveliest and most unique duet in the history of The Voice - I'm glad Tom got to do that, let alone Ruti.
