Professional JOCKEY stuns the Coaches on The Voice | Journey #227

I love this song about walking home and talking softly, watching shows in nightclubs with you. I get nervous touching it and getting drunk, it's waking up and defending you, but now we're sleeping on the edge, we're holding something we don't do. We don't need all this illusion in our heads that will bring us to our knees oh yeah, so come on, let it go, everything breaks, leave it to the breeze, let the ashes fall, forget about me, wow, so come on, let it go, just let it be. Why won't it be you and I'll help myself?

Okay, that was crazy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, who are you? My name is Robbie. Am 26 years old. I am from Ireland. I originally live in Sydney. I'm in a safe area and, uh, I work as a

professional

jockey

. Excuse me, wow, I work as a

jockey

. I ride horses for a living, so wow, I work as a

professional

jockey. You know it is a very difficult job. The first hours are very stressful. You need to do it. be light, strong and fit. I'm only about 50 kilos so I'm probably the size of a small steak you know, but I think I've won over 200 races so it's not too bad, group one winning jockey.

I love working. as a jockey, you know, it's everything I dreamed of as a kid, but my whole life I've been more passionate about music. I just never followed it because I took a different path, you know, I've always been singing in the car. on the way to the races and in the shower, but this would be the biggest venue I've ever sung in, so going out on stage tonight I'm not too sure I can sing well enough for something like this. I don't know anything technical about music. I just know that I love to sing.

It's definitely from the heart. He always sounds like you could sing to yourself. Now we'll find out what I can sing tonight. I love horses. I love them too. I find them so amazing. Oh. My goodness, we already have a lot in common. How nice, how did you get to that family environment? You know it's in the blood of racing grandparents and you know that if I wasn't a jockey, I wouldn't know what I am. I'd be honest, I know where you'd be, you'd be a singer, yeah, that's why we're here, isn't it? Oh wow, and sing, when was that kind of check done?

Did you know a long time ago that you could? Tell me, you know, I've always been passionate about singing, but I like singing in the shower and stuff, that's all I really do, like I don't know anything about music or anything, are you kidding me? Yeah, and then you just know I'm here now, so this is crazy, but when did you like it? When did you know you could do that? Last week at the um loco. The fact that you have no idea how good you are is probably why everyone is staring at you. He's falling in love with you every time you talk into that microphone, the vulnerability of it all and the kind of naivete is like the coolest part of it all.

You're creating a whole new book for

voice

for people who had no idea I could actually hold a note and were like a jockey to now be on The Voice Robbie, you know you like it, you just killed that earlier, thank you very much, you just killed that performance, you ate it all up, thank you very much, like your racing was crazy. bro, um, I like what that means, well, thanks a million, your races mean yeah, not the race, not in the race, that's a race, thanks, you say you don't know anything about music, but you do know everything about music because it is a feeling.

The emotion and the way you just approached that was your whole story bro so you know music thank you so I'd love to have you. Thank you so much. I love the fact that you are so raw with what you sing. and your talent is and the fact that when Jess said you had great races you were thinking about your lap times around the track probably more than but you're just a natural singer with such a natural and unique

voice

, the only reason why What I didn't get around to is that I know the people I have in my stable, so to speak, and I know who these guys are looking for.

It's true, and I want you to land in a great house and you have three amazing ones. options right there Robbie, thanks very good brother, did you feel what the room felt like from the beginning absolutely because that doesn't happen at every audition, but if I'm honest, there are some great singers in this competition and not only will they? Trot, gallop, you know, I feel like you said Gallup, yeah, like finishing a song where they're going full steam ahead and I feel like because you're so green and this is something new to you, you need a trainer to tap. in other areas with your voice and explore certain things to get to the next gear, which I think you need to go further in this competition.

I swear you're about to say you think you could whip him into shape, that was just me. waiting for him he was on his iPhone there watching the horse racing times yeah but I love what you do it's natural that's what this show is about it's about finding people who don't really even know how good they are and you discover. that through this process, so thank you, we can do that now that we can do it. You know I'm really ready to get involved with you and teach you things like what a race is or what key changes you know.

Actually, I already taught. me about Runway yeah that's true but you also gotta come to my team you gotta be on my team he gotta do it yeah you gotta make a decision buddy you got three great

coaches

two please Please, okay, okay, please. please, thank you all so much for all the comments, but I'm going to choose Rita, oh my bracelet, she doesn't even care, oh my god, man, thank you so much, you completely destroyed it, it fell by the wayside, Everyone knows that I hate you, I hate you. I hate you, but I was just joking.

Miles always did something he could have said to make everything stop hurting. Accuse me. I am mine. It could make you feel so worthless. For you. Alright. So, my second artist that I chose to go through. the battles is Robbie Ruby oh man Jesus you're celebrating tonight you smashed it amazing you smashed it well done well done hey hey this battle is between my cool country sisters and my lovely jockey. I left. I'm just going to go and I went in. and I saw Ellen Sienna it was like, oh, it's not game over, it's two against one, maybe Rita can be on my team if you want to be paired with Robbie, he's just the most amazing singer and I was like, oh god, Come on, let it go, he complains.

Singing angrily in the shower and stuff is all I really do, the fact that you have no idea how good you are is probably why and everyone watching is Falling in love with you, Forget about me, wow , when we're on stage it feels good like we know each other singing together it's like this is what we should do the song I'm giving you Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus what a hit you know yes, I know, I didn't think you were going to go Just so you know, you're not going to have Miley Cyrus in Ireland, are you?

It's a good song, you need to breathe, yeah, no, uh, also, you have to really think about trusting your diaphragm because that's where the voice comes from, yeah, it does. These little technical things where you breathe very quickly before you sing, which is actually worse for you because then you run out of breath, very quickly, breathe into your belly, no, into your chest, we, Claude, then we should go in and then you can. breathe again hmm, we claw at each other, we chain our hearts in vain, we jump without ever asking why Ellen Sienna trusts each other so much, which is understandable because they sing together, but I think they really need to work on letting go a little.

I can literally see your brain working, I really want to try it and instead of seeing it, just feel it and really try it and then let Lucifer trust yourself. I want to see that instinct. I want to see that ease. I think this song is really a challenge, but it will be. Push them in the right direction and show me who has the strength to really hold their own in this competition. You don't want it to seem like it's all day. We are jumping on each other. This is your moment. Show that fight like this because this is it. a battle that we are definitely not going to stop because we came here to go as far as we can and we are not going to stop now to win this battle.

I would have to give 200 percent because I am against two people. instead of one I'm not going to leave anything at home I'm going to put everything I have in it Bring It On yes bigger than you we Claude we have changed our hearts in vain we jump without ever asking why you never do Say I just walked away I'll always love you, yeah man, I can't live alone, you know, never say I walked away, you, wake me up now, Rita, picking a winner here won't be easy, no, before you. Make that decision Keith Ella and Sienna or Robbie Which path would you take?

What would you do? Oh wow, vocally, more like, you were killing it, man. You girls have such a crystal clear voice when you sing together that really held its own, but ah, man. I have to give this round to Robbie, he really really knocked it out of the park, I think Rita, it's all up to you now, yeah, who's the winner of this battle? Santa, you have this undeniable connection, not only did you defend, you in that ring had a spectacular vocal performance, thank you, thank you for having come this far. Can I just add such a huge accomplishment, the commitment, can you see that passion, that commitment and those sacrifices that you make, but also that your family lets you know? being here and now Robbie you just sang your heart out and that was amazing to me the choice really comes down to who I've seen grow a lot but also who I think I can really take to the next level so the winner of this battle. it's Robbie, congratulations Robbie, you're one of the battles, you're shaking your head, why in disbelief, again, there's so much credit to these girls, like I'm so grateful, thank you so much for putting me through and then I'm not going to let it go.

You're well done, Robbie. I barely breathe for a guy I don't believe in because I have time while she has freedom. Because when a heart breaks, no, it doesn't even equal it. Nobody was always there because what am I going to do? do when the best part of me was always you, what am I supposed to say when I'm drowning? You're okay, you're both so evenly matched but one of you has an advantage, the artist I think has that advantage. I'm looking for luck, luck, you go to the semi-finals, a dream, it was never possible in a million years.

I just wanted to say he's an absolute legend and I'm so proud of him because so far. He was a jockey now he's on stage watching and I'm like a friend tonight. I love you so much friend, thanks man, it's so nice to know that you can sing like that and you're in the top 24. Are you exactly going to continue singing? oh, keep singing hard on the way home, Robbie with his head down, just remember, yeah, keep going, okay.
