Next on the agenda, the judges and audience of The Voice UK were left in awe by a truly moving performance on Saturday night, marking the singer's debut on stage. The latest episode of the popular ITV competition concluded with Hollie Peabody's rendition of Selena Gomez's "Lose You To Love Me", as they bravely faced their nerves to take the stage.
The 21-year-old prison worker captured the hearts of the audience and had viewers at home in tears, with one of the four judges turning their seat and completing their team. After impressing LeAnn Rimes, Will.i.am, Danny Jones, and Tom Fletcher, it was the legendary Sir Tom Jones who pressed the button, commenting, "That was really lovely."
The 84-year-old Welsh singer admitted that he hadn't heard the song before but was blown away by Hollie's performance, joking, "There's a lot of things I haven't heard before." He also praised Hollie for staying true to themselves and creating something special on stage. "I loved it," Sir Tom added.
Following the judges' positive feedback, Hollie revealed that they had a small cry before their performance due to nerves. The emotional performance left viewers in tears as well. "You've tamed that dragon and you came and scorched the ceiling, and now you're on team Tom," Will.i.am praised Hollie.
Sir Tom also offered words of encouragement, saying, "You don't need to be nervous, you did a lovely job," as he welcomed Hollie to his team. Hollie had previously admitted that auditioning was out of their comfort zone and performing was not something they typically did.
The singer explained, "It's a big step for me." But with determination and courage, they auditioned and gave a stunning performance. The viewers were moved by the emotion and power behind Hollie's voice. Some even took to social media to express their admiration. "@Clarieyalli wrote, 'They should all have turned for Holly - had me in tears,'" while @bally1001 commented, "What a voice."
Others also praised Hollie's talent, with @OdeToJamie_ tweeting, "Don't normally tweet about daytime TV but Tom and Danny should have turned for holly they killed that Selena Gomez song." Even the judges were blown away, with @animalmad08 adding, "So glad Tom turned for Holly. Beautiful voice."
It was a moment of triumph for Hollie, who explained that the song they chose holds a special meaning for them. "The song that I'm doing leans heavily into the topic of knowing who you are and embracing and loving yourself, which is something that I'm working towards as well," they shared. "I'm proud of the progress I've made to get to the point where I can push myself."
Hollie also revealed that a year ago, they would have walked away from the opportunity to audition. But now, it's a victory just to make it to the audition. Fans and viewers were quick to show their support for Hollie, with @Stevieboy6111 commenting, "Thank God Tom turned, or it would have been a complete travesty!!! They have that something special, and winner or not, they need to make an album."
And they weren't the only ones praising Hollie's performance. "@mwalkerchef said, 'Best vocal tonight by far!!' while @scott_nathene added, "I just love Tom for turning for them, it’s nice that a normal person not known for being in the music business is recognized. Good luck, they were fab."
