What did you think of Sally's performances?
sally,s performance was Dynamics
The Voice Global She is phenomenal.
So deeply human ! As if a powerful voice full of strong emotions managed to transcend the years during which she had remained silent for multiple good priority reasons that deprived her of her life, putting her in the backgroundjust for a moment, time to settle everything and get back to his passion !!
She had me in tears from her audition to her final song. Very few singers have done that to me. I know at least one of those songs she sang for her late husband. Tom knows a great voice when he hears one that's for sure. Sally your sons were so proud of you and I very much hope you're back on the stage now.
Heavenly..
I had no idea this was out there. I’m blown away by these comments. Thank you all ❤️
I have never heard such a pure voice as yours. Thank you for bringing that into my life. ❤❤
I was born 1951 and You are a singer like the great female singers in the 60’s / 70’s 🥰🎶💕 I also lost my husband when I was 40, three kids so now what You’ve been throug, all luck to You in Your life and Happy New Year 2024 🎉🌟 Hugs from Stockholm, Sweden 💕 Sweden 🇸🇪
One of my all time favorite artists. ❤
Crystal clear fabulous voice beautiful eyes
Wow!!! What a beautiful talent!!!
The music business is crazy. How can someone sing so beautiful and not make it to the top. What a privilege to listen to Sally sing.
Because, as you stated, it's a "business". All about the bottom line. It's also all about image nowadays. They probably thought her image wasn't marketable, despite the FACT she can literally sing her ass off.
it is crazy man its man society ......
She was at the top before she walked up on the stage!
Fixed we know what they do. Bad apples DS is gone woo hoo Go Guys Protect USA esp Sally in JESUS name
Because the music industry is heavy controlled and scripted. Rarely real artists get into the music industry. The music industry is also 80% the beauty industry and 20% about music.
Please give Sally a record deal!! We NEED to record her voice before it’s gone. It is simply Gold.
TOTALLY AGREE!
It takes 6 years to find this voice. There are good singers. But this voice is from another world. I bow to this exceptional artist. Greetings from Germany.
Sally's not a performer, she's a singer in the best sense of the word, reaching into the depths of each song to reveal its meaning - it's reason for being - to the audience. A privilege to hear her.
the whole moon~ she is a damn great performer...brilliant
well said!
Amen well said
Magnificent Sally She is Blessed with a Beautiful God Gifthed Voice Amen!
Such a beautiful voice. You feel it in your heart and soul. ❤❤
She understands what singing is. It’s not just about the notes, it’s the feel, the message, the connection
Exactly
Thats what music is truly about When i first Listened to You're the Voice by John farnham even tho his voice is fucking Mesmerizing I was More interested about the connection and Message behind the songs and lyrics etc So yeah Hitting the notes is 1 thing but its all about the impact that it has The meaning and message behind the song
Her singing atyle affected my soul.
Totally agree. Those who stick with it should be listened to. One is liable to be surprised. Perseverance is actually usually rewarded with improvement, not surprisingly, in my experience.
I'm thrilled to see these performances.
She has "The Voice" but the young generation prefers a different style. Such a pity that she lost! She is the singer, the real deal.
She should have tried some new songs that suits the new generations of voters.
@@MarfaEugene well, tom choose the songs and hes an old soul. doesent matter at all, as she caters to a different audience. well done on her side.
She didn’t lose. Yes , she lost the contest but look at what the show did for her- she got a ton of exposure and I bet many offers to perform etc. It revived her career.
They don't know what they're missing. Her voice is full of life and emotional depth that's absent in most current music❤
@@jp194 absolutely agree. That was the quality the judges were talking about that they couldn’t put a finger on. It’s been so absent in music for a long time that they couldn’t recognize it.
It took me 63 years to hear Sallys voice..I'm speecless. What a honor and privilege to have heard her beautiful talented singing. Luke listening to smooth calming voice at the end of a rainbow. Thank you to Tom Jones not only for his grace and spirit but for choosing her.
Beautiful storyteller, a real winner. When you can make Tom Jones cry more than once, you know its the real thing. Sally is a gem
Finally someone made an intelligent comment on this thread. 😊
@@zyxw2024 When someone makes you believe there must be a Creator.
obviously there was a reason she opened for Bob Dylan and Robert Plant years ago. She's the real deal!
i couldn't help thinking Sally might remind Tom of his departed wife
AMEN !!!!!
I’m 61 years old and she takes me back to the 60’s and 70’s when we had those beautiful rock-folksy singer we heard. I’m also very nostalgic. She’s a winner.🏆
Yes she is the winner
Yeh I so agree! I was in love with folk music style as a young poet. Folk music taps emotions that are universal.
Alright now Way to sing Sally girl KUDOS TO YA
I remember them! 💙
We are of an age and I so agree with everything you have said, Samuel. I feel that if her story was different, that I would be pulling out a much loved, well played album to recall the my time in the 60's and 70's with her name on it. Stunning!!!
Have Sally and Tom Jones recorded an album together, they really should, just wonderful together!!
Yasss!! I would buy a CD with Tom and Sally. 👍
I can't love this comment enough... ❤️❤️❤️
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 looking to theirs album .
Yes!
Totally TOTALLY 👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺✌️🎵🎶🙏🎵🎶🙏🎵🎶🙏🎵🎶🙏🎵🎶🙏
How in the world did Sally not win this competition? What a beautiful voice!,
Hearing her sing Dionne Warwick's "Walk on by" hit me like a ton of bricks.....I haven't heard that song in such a loooooong time and Sally's rendition is mystical!
She's so clear. You don't get that anymore. This is music. This is singing.
Sally is a perfect example how less IS more ! Her simplicity, her articulation and her sincerity shines through on every performance !!!
Sally Barker has a voice that stands the test of time. She has a crystalline quality that sparkles like light on water. She brought me back to a time in the 1960s when singers evoked emotion reflecting depth and feelings.
Yes,she's just so good,an with Mr.Jones.thanks
One of the finest singers in many years Happy Tom Jones agreed
bit of dusty in there somewhere if she sang some of hers?
Ver um dos melhores artistas da história da música como sir tom jones ficar emocionado e impressionado com a Sally diz tudo sobre a qualidade da sua voz,afinação e classe a cantar
🎶💞🎶 NZ 2024
As Tom Jones said, Sally can bring so much emotion in her singing. Such a gift she has. I wish she had won.
She did win not the fixed voice but A Classy GODLY Lady Artist.
I thought Tom and Sally sang beautifully together.....even a thought, they looked beautiful "together!"
What an honor to be allowed to sing with Sir Tom Jones. I grew up with his hits and still love him today. Lets not ever forget the past as it helps us grow and remember times past.
I am watching again and feel the same. I really wish she had won, I just love Sally’s emotional performances absolutely beautiful.
I'm a 60 year old man, home alone watching a KZhead video today and for some reason out of the blue this salty liquid appeared from my eyes and my nose started to run. For 22 minutes and 17 seconds! You laid it down Ms. Sally. Your beautiful and deserve the second chance to show the world your God given talent.
Stunning. Effortless. Crystal clear. Nice range. Trained. In total control of her voice. SHE SINGS WITH HER HEART. That’s what separates her from the rest. Her heart!!! I envy her.
Tom and Sally was the perfect combination. After all she didn't won but that doesn't matter. She gets the respect from the coaches and from the country and thats worth a lot.
Sometimes it’s not about the win, but the effect an artist has on people...
Right. But Sally really deserves a contract.
Well said
Touched my Soul her way of singing her emotions& story of her kids too i gav 3sons so i know wat she means we look first for our kids interests b4 our own its natural now kids grown tym for herself
Sally is brilliant! Omg
litestreamer NJ m nerds n m
"by somebody called olly murs" *Close flip phone* Killing it with a song she never heard before. That's a true singer.
For at least the past 35 years, my most favorite, emotional, inspirational, listened-to song has been 'Another Train'. I pulled it from an anthology because the haunting voice of the singer, unknown to me, Sally Barker, wouldn't leave my head. I never thought I'd ever hear from that voice again. It's hard not to sound overly dramatic trying to say what is true, but I wish I could thank her for the many many times that song rescued me over my lifetime.
Sally Barker has a perfect voice, vibrato, intonation, diction, emotion, pitch and life in her voice. Music is at home in her voice. She compliments the music and the words. She does not overpower either one, but completes them. Hats off to Miss Sally for truly giving herself to music, and may I say, to her children. God bless her and her family. Sincerely, sister Jay Karen Shelton
So sweet and pure what a voice
She sings with her heart ❤ not all the crazy stuff, just beautiful
@Sister Jay, your comments about Sally took me, as an Aussie, straight to Judith Durham's voice (The Seekers). When Sally sang " To Love Somebody", I believe she was singing of the love she would always have for her lost husband when they were she was so young.
Sally’s voice is incredible. She really must be recorded. Her time has come.
You can purchase her music on iTunes
This woman brings tears to my eyes too, maybe it’s because I’m a 60’s kid and her voice is a gift from heaven.....
michdoug1 -Her choice in songs helped the tears flow-What a Class Act & Talent we were robbed of for too long😢
I love her selection of songs as it brings back memories when music IS music and not just noise we hear in today's generation.
@Fionabuster D. yesssss!
@Fionabuster D. Like everything else these days, exceptional quality is becoming a lost art.
Likewise, 60s & 70s were the important songs in my life. Maybe why that it hits us harder. I wished she had chosen more variety to showcase her talents.
She sang, Walk On By, better than the original. That's pure talent, skill, all rolled in with being a wonderful mum too. You are a inspiring woman.
Great singing Sally. I wife of 70+ find this moving the tears ran down my cheeks. Hope she still sings because this is from 2014 and I just saw this now. Just beautiful.
When Sally sang Walk on By it was a master's class in technique! I think some of the younger contestants were amazed to hear/see her incredible ability. I could listen to her all morning long. Most others, yeah, a song or two is plenty but Ms Barker is real, real easy on the ears!!! Love her singing!
Exactly
Yes indeed! Her voice is so very enchanting.
Wow! Totally agree!! It definitely is a master class! Her range and dynamics (when to do "forte" or "pianissimo") are superb! I've listened to her rendition a million times, and I still cry. The other contestants are completely transfixed and paralyzed by her performance. Why she didn't win is beyond me! It just shows that the common ear can not listen to the articulations of great music! Just do a beat loop and a couple of stupid lyrics, and you make millions these days! We've lost the meaning of it!
It’s rare Tom Jone has a voice that can keep up with his magnificent voice in a duet. This lady with golden vocal chords sure can. I hope she fueled up her music career. 🥰
Sir Tom Jones is a true gentleman, I believe all he says and shows, and having him showing such emotion, I think, is the highest honour for anyone who can be on the voice UK.
She is a beautiful singer. You don’t hear voices like hers anymore. It’s a wonderful pleasure!
I'm ashamed to say that today I saw and heared Sally for the first time. And she touched me so hard that I was completely swept of my feet. What a voice and what a beautiful Lady she is. Her voice is the result of the life she had and the things she had to go through. For me, she was the winner of that contest. She's great in every way and Sir Tom Jones made one of the best choices he ever made on The Voice. ❤❤❤
Tom is never wrong......God bless him and hope this gal goes viral.
I am annoyed with myself, that I haven't seen this before today. This is truly why music and song was created. Sally and Tom.
How did she not win? Her voice was consistently beautiful and captivating. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
She's Tom's equal in every way. Such a perfect pairing of voice and experience. I'd love to see them tour together.
They should sing together what a perfect match they are!!!!!!
A pure, angelic, heartfelt rendition of everything she sings. Her singing transcends your soul into anothother heartfelt dimension.
Sally is more than a singer she is a story teller❤️
Well said Sir!
She has such a voice that just should be recording music, a lot of the crap on the radio is just trash. This lady is so damn good, its just my privilege to listen to her sing.
You've the wrong radio stations on.
KLIKKZZZ Totally agree with your using the word “privileged” as I felt that way as well!!
You don’t need to be first to win. She has a beautiful voice and really knows how to deliver a song. Her door has opened!
I'm BAWLING listening to her! She evokes such emotion in her music! I can't get enough of her beautiful voice!
Oh my God. The most beautiful voice since Karen Carpenter. Two voices in a class of their own!!!!
Yes indeed!
Karen, Barbara, or Petula. How could she not know who Olly is lol?
I agree. They are 2 beautiful voices. And, yes, in a class of their own.
@Tony Johnson, yes indeed!!! All of the times that Sally has sung, I couldn’t help but think of Karen Carpenter...absolutely breathtaking 💞
True That.
She has a beautiful 60's and early 70's voice and it's so refreshing to here it again. Nobody sounds like her. She's such a Jewel ♥️
She is one of the few true voices. Many people think they can sing but this one really has it.
Sally sings so Heavenly 💜
Sally has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard in years
This woman brings tears to my eyes she is angelic & Amazing
Same here. She's got that rare gift to touch your soul with her voice.
Sally sang some of the great old songs. I got this old man crying in a puddle of his own tears absolutely beautiful.
Sally's voice is so clear and beautiful. It's hard to find a singer with this kind of voice these days.
Tom you have the Platinum Ear..... she can sing right up there with the greatest all time singers. Her emotion drips through every note . What a gift , and such a beautiful soul .... Thank You 💫🕯
She should have won. I hope now, she will have the career she deserves.
She may have not won there but won in other places.
If she put out an album right now...I'd fight to be the first in line to purchase one. Amazing story...with an amazing voice and soul...🍾🥂
Sally did not need to win.SHE GOT THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVED SO LONG AGO.
Tom and Sally should make music, or tour together that would be amazing.
This, I consider, one of the most beautiful and authentic moments on ALL of the "talent" shows.
Honestly anyone who makes everyone emotional every time she sings is just a shooting star 🌠 she is amazing her voice touches your soul and makes you feels things that you can’t imagine I would listen to her everyday . No words but to appreciate her and admire her
I'm 60 years old from the Philippines and Walk on By blew me up. It was the best cover!
@Lukas Stronghood. What Province? My Grandfather was from I.N., Pangasinan. My daughter just got back to Oahu after participating in the Wargames these last couple of weeks. She got to catch up with a lot of relatives in Manila we haven’t seen in 11 years - though the ‘Net makes it a lot easier than it used to be. I haven’t been there since 1970.🤔😳
Never heard of her but every single song gave me goosebumps. I hope her career takes off.
same
Or rekindles with a brighter flame.
hewa in the background with bob dylan on tour. He was a musican professional
I hope Sally gets a shot at a career in music, she is an incredible talent.
I’d love to buy her CDs!
I was tearing up on every performance! Her voice is like a warm blanket
Sally, please do not stop singing ever again!! I hope u see this message ❤
It has been said that music finds the easiest pathway to your soul. Sally is a perfect messenger.
@ John Treble/ Such a beautiful/ profound statement!! Thank you for sharing.... Bless you 😔🍃
Perfectly said.
One word describes This women “Awesome”
I am 74 but when I listen to Sally I feel from my inner being like a young woman in my inner person. Thank you Sally for making me feel young. Love you
She sings from her heart. Her voice is angelic! Really, too bad that the younger generation prefers a different style.
I could listen to her forever.. beautiful.
Fully agreed. Such a beautiful soulful voice
Me too 💞
Same Here
Absolutely!
Not really my " butd of music but her voice is so beautiful and warming u can't help but listen to it and enjoy it......best of luck to you
2020 and im still watching this.... for hundred times already hehehehehe
Sally’s voice has depth and experience. Her take on “To Love Somebody” is Amazing!
She should have won! A crystal clear voice full of expression and I wish she would come back for a reunion!
Tom was teared up through the first song to get an old guy like that to crack the waterworks damn
She goes way beyond singing; she moves my soul. What a privilege to listen to her.
I just found this. Dancing with my ear bugs in and cleaning and doing dishes. And omg she didn’t win. I am just heartbroken. What an amazing voice.
Wonderful voice!!! Tom and Sally get in the studio and create!!!! The world needs mature honest sounds! DO IT!!❤️
I felt it. I cried every song. It felt like she was singing about her whole life; the past, present and what will be in store for the future. 😭😭
Chloelen Pilapil exactly!
I cried too. 😭
So excited that I found her songs on iTunes and purchased them👍 I am from the era when Tom Jones fans swooned when he sang, and his voice today is as wonderful as ever! He recognizes a ‘jewel’ when one is presented and Sally Barker is that ‘jewel’‼️ I hope they remain forever friends! It was meant to be and for good reason that she was chosen by him in the blind audition! I was so certain that she would win, but she IS ‘a winner’ to all those who love her and her soulful voice - she will go far in her career- people know her already all over the world( I’m from America)👍. Tom Jones and Sally make such a wonderful duet duo- 2 classic voices‼️ Don’t you EVER quit, Sally Barker - you would be letting down all your fans, including Sir Tom Jones!!!!!!!! A Michigan fan and admirer ~ckd❤️
When Sally was singing Whole of the Moon, Strangely I was in tears. Really bizarre. Then came "Both Sides Now" This time, I was sobbing. I'm a grown man..
lol. me too :)
Wow. Her voice is magical. She brought tears to my eyes.
Elle est spectaculaire cette Sally !! WoW 😳
Same!
@@carolesaucier3172 Vraiment!!!
How didn't she reached the top ?? Such a beautifull singing soul what a magic..
I love Sally’s voice in particular….just beautiful…..I am so glad Sir Tom turned around…..definitely magical. So glad to find this from the UK Voice.
Seriously her voice is surreal , the depth and texture of emotion on her crystal clear tone just pierce you right in the heart and soul , who has that tone ??? Nobody else , she's unique , that can't be learned in any school, that's a precious natural gift , I love watching how Tom gets emotional listening to her and also the support and love of her sons cheering for her is Amazing .
Tom Jones is the greatest new find of the twenty-first century. Sally Barker and Tom are made in heaven.
This woman should be a world-wide star. She has the whole package. She has the depth and nuance to her singing that most don't. I don't think the young voters appreciated the actual voice as opposed to all the over producing of talent that goes on these days. She's a real star, no matter where she ended up. I think she brings listeners to a other place - every single time she sings. She should have one!
It was a great challenge for Sally between young children and a traveling singing career. She had made the right decision to stay with her children rather than go to a singing career! God bless her.
She reminds me of Anne Murray. Same smooth, emotional voice...like liquid velvet. Hope she got a record deal. ❤️👍🏼
Liquid gold. Pure emotional 😭 transferance.
No emotional connection without suffering 💔😢💔
Anne Murray, Carly Simon, and Stevie Nicks rolled into one!
Not a bad comparison. I thought she reminded me more of Joan Baez. Just the tone & delivery of the song.
J Logsdon in one performance she sounded like Annie Lennox!
Only listen mow, 2023, and what an amazing, excellent voice she has. And everyone knows that Tom Jones won't choose someone if he does not 100% , believe in her. The duet was the best 🎉
Sally's 'Walk On By' is perfection...
I would buy her album in a heart beat!! Beautiful!!
Sally is not only singing, she is telling a story! Awesome!
Sally’s voice is so beautiful. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s like she had written every word to every song.
Sally Barker is a consummate singer who expertly interprets each song with deep emotion, leaving the audience spellbound. She's an amazing talent whose voice has aged like fine wine and should be heard more often.
I love all song but how she sings - Walk on by - Dionne Warwick, it's really emotional. Sally and her angelic voice. I love her voice!
I just got off a gig, it's one thirty in the morning. I have been singing for four hours and I sat down and watched this for the third time. And every time it is transendent and vocally amazing. She should be a mega 🌟. I can go to bed now.
Listening to Sally sing is like someone whispering in your ear “I love you”.
Sally ran a clinic on vocalizing. it's like she understands the lyrics and she's making you feel them through her amazing instrument with perfect energy and power. and she scales with perfect timing. as close to perfection as one can imagine.
for me she is the absolute queen among the previous singers by the voice
Years later, I am still haunted by her performance. So beautiful .
I still cry wish I could hug her😭😭😭.. she deserve a medal of honor
Man Sally & Tom need to do more. MAN IT WAS UNREAL. SHES AMAZING!!!!! Signed, Texas
Sally is solid gold! WOW what a tone and her delivery just slays me
She looks and sound like a seasoned veteran, of the music industry, as if she were a famous know singer.
If you were to lookup the word 'Masterful' in the dictionary you would most likely see a picture of Ms Sally Barker there with the definition! Because she is 'Masterful' with her singing! In every way! Yes! Absolutely! She is indeed, masterful! Good luck always, dear!!! I have loved every song you have sang for a few years now! Very, very nice! Indeed!!! So, Keep on rocking it! With great fondness, and affection, PAUL in Chicago and Las Vegas! THANK-YOU, AGAIN! EVER SO MUCH!!!
Her voice makes so many modern successful singers sound like they are still in nursery.
