Been wondering the exact same thing! The songs he has made on his own aren't amazing but are definitely good enough to be commercial hits. He needs better marketing, if he doesn't have star potential then no one does.
To make it big in film or music, you have to sell your soul. They won't let just anyone in their "club" no matter how talented, amazing, flawless and superstar material you are. Jolan is still not famous, which tells me he refused, he's stayed pure, and I love and respect him even more for that. So many famous people are coming out now, confirming what Mel Gibson said over 20 years ago and everyone called him a nutcase and he stopped getting decent film roles after that. Given that Ghislaine has just got 20 years, I'm expecting a lot of famous people to go down now. She and Jeff had a long list of famous clients, after all. We've all seen the list haven't we. Jolan may well be on a more level playing field in the not too distant future. We can hope, anyway.
@@cerulean1808 You're talking about Michael Caliman. Well, i'm not a friend of this competition thing like who's better and who's not. As a musician myself for over a decade i can tell you they both did a great job. Michael was closer to the original vibe and the tone of Terence. Really impressive performance. But Jolan, who's a big fan of prince, MJ and Jazz in general, took it to a more advanced level in terms of musicianship.
*In Mississippi, home of the blues and the roots of rock and roll...* we call what Jolan did with that song... "beatin' the shit out of it... then beatin' it for shitin'!" Super song. Unique voice. And he made it his song. Triple nail! Bravo Jolan! More, more, more!
Well, this was a fantastic end to the show. I cannot wait to hear more of this chap. Clearly Jolan has launched a serious challenge with a strong and confident rendition of the Terrence Trent D'Arby classic. The drop at 1:18 really hit home with Ricky! And no wonder. This was a master class in how to create a chair turning performance. Jolan did what Stevie McCrorie (last year's winner) did. He used his head voice early in the song, and did so with great precision, but then towards the end reached those same notes by pushing his chest voice, with all the emotive rasping bite that delivers. His timing and breathing were first class, and he did not put a foot wrong. Yes, I think we have another very solid contender. I really enjoyed this.
I literally screamed when Ricky took him through to the live shows. There is so much emotion in his voice, I could listen to it all day. Ily Jolan, please win.
Great voice and stage presence for one so young, The Voice just got really interesting! Every time I replay this video I get goose bumps - that doesn't happen often. This young man has got an amazing career ahead of him, it's just a shame his Mum isn't here to see it.
This guy is a one off. Watched him Monday from recording. gave me goosebumps and bought tears to my eyes knowing his story. i remember his first audition too. his mum was there with him this time, she was definitely there Saturday...right by his side and she would be so proud to know she has raised a legend. Best audition i ever saw xxxxx
Boy George was feelin that song! Shout out to Terrance Trent D'arby. Uau, que voz! Interpretação fantástica!!! perfeita !! Dá vontade de sair dançando hahahaha
What a top & shifting performance last night. How chuffed he must be with that magical sound he's crafted. Woke up needing to hear again. Big applause to you, & thankyou
+Christina Ahkine Lol! If you're crazy, then so am I! I have hours at a time where I just listen to his performances, both on The Voice and with his band Shore. I can't get enough of his voice. :-)
I absolutely love jolans voice, I always remember hearing his voice for first time, I was at work and he was playing with his band at a party I was working in a bar. He made me stop dead in my tracks I was amazed at what I was hearing it was "kiss from a rose" wow he sang it with perfection and better and from then on I was a fan, that must of been about 5 year ago! I can not wait to hear him sing "purple rain" he needs to perform this as its one of his best to sing and it actually made me cry while I was serving a costumer lol ahh his voice!
Every day I listen to this and Jolan singing Never Tear Us Apart ..... what an absolutely awesomely unique voice and performer...... Hope to see you live Jolan, come to Cornwall 😍
+fiveohfivethree That's the whole point of the Voice actually. The motto of Talpa (the company who owns the franchise one of the biggest TV franchises in the world) is "It's all about the content". Every time a Voice singer anywhere in the world performs a song on TV the original version and popular cover versions sell more copies, and guess who gets the pennies? That's right - Talpa.
periurban I'm quite happy with that. Did you see the group performance on the American version where they sang Diamonds by Johnnyswim? I went straight out and bought the original song after finding and listening to it on youtube. Fantastic song. I already own Wishing Well so I couldn't that on this occasion though ha ha!
wow what a difference 2 years have made! This was really good and he's so versatile! really energetic performance! Finally a good episode on the voice, there's a bit of hope now :D
Best ever audition, he should win but either way I think he will be the most successful ever contestant and he's got something unique unlike previous winners.
This performance audio is on replay since last night.. its so melodious! Damn. I heard this one first and then the original track. Guess what? I liked this one more! Jolan you are awesome! Your singing is phenomenal.. Wish you all the best ! love from north east India
This show has amazing singers, I wish they would show the singers more than the judges. Let the man have his 2 minutes of fame. Judges are already famous.
Jolan is amazing I always knew he would go far! Defiantly going to win! Gutted he couldn't sing at my wedding in November :( keep up the good work jolan! Your the best!!!!
Omg he is amazing! My top 10 so far: (no order) Harry Fisher Tom Rickels Cody Frost Charley Blue Jolan Bradley Waterman Kevin Simm Dwaine Hayden Deano Vangelis
Even in 2020, I don't understand how this guy hasn't been commercially successful? He's a good looking guy, a stunning voice and great stage presence!

This is the nature of the beast. Thousands of really talented people out there who never make it.
He's probably doing just fine!!! You wanna stay away from the cesspool that is mainstream entertainment success!
It's 2024 and I'm still can't understand how he hasn't been successful.
I need a full cover from this, 2 MINUTES ISN'T ENOUGH THIS IS AMAZING
+Parisa - There is a video of him doing this at Bolton Football Stadium!! sounds not as good but is the full version with him playing guitar
@@jrobinson618 Cheers!
Roger that ! :-)
He covered this song. search "Jolan - Wishing Well (Terence Trent Darby Cover)" you will find it.
Nah he's boring
Damn this performance is seriously one of the best that has EVER been on the voice... can't wait to hear more from this guy
Definitely captivating, sure hope he continues singing, he's unique n great, love everything about him.
The guy from the Voice Germany did better IMO.

Dude singing wish & well killed it!!! 😊❤
Love the way Ricky waited until the right moment to push his button, totally in sync with the beat.
also took him about 40 seconds to even realise what song it was!
He deserved all 4 turns ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Randy knew he was super white!!!
Boy George was feelin that song! Shout out to Terrance Trent D'arby.
george floyd too
@@NJUBSYgry the comment didn't age well
Sananda Mantreya
@@paul1991Why? Because it didn't get a lot of clout? When was the truth ever celebrated.
best rendition of this song ever done, full of soul and attitude
I’m now a fan of this guy and the original artist. Thanks to Jolan for crushing this classic and bringing it back.
*In Mississippi, home of the blues and the roots of rock and roll...* we call what Jolan did with that song... "beatin' the shit out of it... then beatin' it for shitin'!" Super song. Unique voice. And he made it his song. Triple nail! Bravo Jolan! More, more, more!
Just now seeing this comment in 2024 and it aged well! Love it all the way from Philadelphia

+periurban me too! It was really good!
+periurban you're right, but I think he's the winner Peri :)
The first time Paloma didn't get the act.
Kevlar Oxy You may be right!
Adam Efimoff Yes, and what an improvement!
I love his facial expressions and body language! There's something pretty mad in them and me like it!! :) Great audition!!
him and Kevin are gonna be amazing to watch. my absolute faves so far.
I can already see them in the finale!
+Martin John Dolorico those two and kody i love them all
+depi25 my faves are Mia, Cody and those two
mia! i remember her form last season i liked her then too
And bradley
This song has been a fave of mine for years...he does it more than justice. This version rocks!!!
yeah, this brotha owned that song! Truly was flawless.
One of the best Voice performances I've seen
I just saw this video a couple days ago for the first time. I can't stop watching it.
He is great singer. Keep going you got this
Dang.... that boy can sing, and soooooooooo good looking. Perfection
Winner! Not only will Jolan win, he'll be the first UK Voice artist to have a career. Good luck Jolan, I'm very excited to see you flourish.
Agree 100% great voice and stage presence.
The first voice artist to have a career you say? Can I kindly remind you about Becky Hill? That is all...
Ahh yes, Ben. She was good too... I didn't know she was out there 'doing it' so to speak.
+Kevlar Oxy Becky hill sang on 2 number 1 songs
yeah, i see that now. I looked her up on Wikipedia. Good for her.
Best version EVER!
definitely one of the best this year, he's what the music industry's missing a proper old school soul singer he will go far
Best audition ever..and not just that..best live singer on any talent show ever...
Great song!!! This was my oldest daughters favorite song when she was 2 years old. 22 years later I can still remember her little dance to it.
I hope he releases an album soon as he's so amazing ..love his voice so much
He seems like a performer of this season, loved this and he chose the best coach for himself !
Best the voice contestant there’s ever been hands down for me
I literally screamed when Ricky took him through to the live shows. There is so much emotion in his voice, I could listen to it all day. Ily Jolan, please win.
" FLAWLESS " is absolutely an understatement !!!!!
jolan sings this songs so well Wishing well. Love his voice.
That is the best audition I've seen on any singing show.
this awesome cover introduced me to Terence Trent D'arby. I'll always be thankful
Good job! The original singer is one the greatest vocalist I've ever heard
Jolan is an amazing performer with a powerhouse voice, I'm so hungry for his album, all credit to this incredible guy!
Jolan was 😍😍😍
Love the way Ricky woke up at 0:45!!! 😆
Can not stop listening to Jolan singing this one.
He is a real good singer with both passion and commitment to the show!.
He will go far this kid. Great voice and excellent stage presence.
Great voice and stage presence for one so young, The Voice just got really interesting! Every time I replay this video I get goose bumps - that doesn't happen often. This young man has got an amazing career ahead of him, it's just a shame his Mum isn't here to see it.
Still get goosebumps when I hear/see this performance. Awesome!

Best audition i ever saw xxxxx
I can watch Jolan in this video a million times and never get tired of listening to him. Hes awesome
THIS is something that DREAMS are made of...I could put this on replay for the day actually. Jolan knows he is that good...ooozing confidence
I seriously can't stop watching this!
K C same ! And it’s 2020 now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best thing about this video (apart from Jolan's awesome voice) is his father's reaction when Boy George hit that buzzer. LOVE IT!
Well it is Boy george after all, I would have jump to heaven if boy george in person give me a chance to be my professor in the voice😢
Boy George was feelin that song! Shout out to Terrance Trent D'arby.
Uau, que voz! Interpretação fantástica!!! perfeita !! Dá vontade de sair dançando hahahaha
This is a ridiculously good cover! Guy has got a crazy voice and even TT D'Arby's swag! Next level truly
He was amazing!!!!!! Absolutely flawless oh my god
What a top & shifting performance last night. How chuffed he must be with that magical sound he's crafted. Woke up needing to hear again. Big applause to you, & thankyou
I really don't understand why Will I didn't turn for Jolan, his voice is amazing. He deserved a 4 chair turn!!
ABSOLUTELY DESERVED A FOUR CHAIR TURN
In my opinion, Will didn't know that song. Can't you tell he wasn't feeling it?
I love how much he enjoys his own performance.
I love this rendition of Wishing Well!! Well Done!!
❤❤Very nice song and he must be the most handsome boy in the world❤❤
Everything about this performance is delicious! You are GREAT Jolan x
he is in the final n am still listening to his audition.how crazy i am when it cmes to his voice!! listened to that abt 15times
+Christina Ahkine Lol! If you're crazy, then so am I! I have hours at a time where I just listen to his performances, both on The Voice and with his band Shore. I can't get enough of his voice. :-)
Flawless as Ricky says Jolan, your mum would have been so proud 💗
I keep coming back to this. It was a flawless audition. I would love to see Jolan or Kevin win this year.
I've watched this like 20 times, he's the real deal
I adore the fact that this made me love Terence Trent again
Flawless
He nailed this, keeps me coming back
I absolutely love jolans voice, I always remember hearing his voice for first time, I was at work and he was playing with his band at a party I was working in a bar. He made me stop dead in my tracks I was amazed at what I was hearing it was "kiss from a rose" wow he sang it with perfection and better and from then on I was a fan, that must of been about 5 year ago!

Woohoo I'm over the moon his got to sing purple rain!!!!
Every day I listen to this and Jolan singing Never Tear Us Apart ..... what an absolutely awesomely unique voice and performer...... Hope to see you live Jolan, come to Cornwall 😍
I can't stop listening to him, this sounded better than the original!
From the first to the last word I was hooked. A lot of people ruin songs but his cover of terrence trend D'Arby was absolutely fan bloody tastic.
0:10 I love Boy George, he's so charismatic
And I predict he is going to be one of our biggest artists to come out of this country - Ricky you have your winner! JOLAN TO WIN THE VOICE 2016
I would buy that
+rob squires I'm listening to the original right now. I forgot what a great song it was. Sometimes The Voice is good for something I guess xD

periurban Someone somewhere has to be making money from this I guess. I hope they are enjoying my 99p :P
The story behind this young talent, gives me nothing but respect. He's mom would be so proud! Go on lad, keep up the good work!
This version is world class and he's sadly not doing much these days. Insanely talented
Winner:) Outstanding singer for a 21yr old!! the best Ive heard for years xx
Proud to have gone to school with Jolan :) His voice was beautiful in the school hall at charity concerts nevermind now! Amazing
Jolan has a real snap about his voice. Bang on timing with exceptional tone. Ricky definitely has good ears!
Boy George was like mmmmm damn cute
Yes for sure. Bob George had a blink in his eyes. Lol
Haaaa yep he fancied the ass off him ! Don’t blame him
by far the best audition I've heard!
I'm in agreement with Ricky, FLAWLESS!!!!
Jolan did awesomely with this song. Wow!
My god he's awesome ! He deserves to win!!!!
Jolan ATE this performance!!!!!
wow what a difference 2 years have made! This was really good and he's so versatile! really energetic performance! Finally a good episode on the voice, there's a bit of hope now :D
I still come back to watch this audition
Best ever audition, he should win but either way I think he will be the most successful ever contestant and he's got something unique unlike previous winners.

love from north east India
There`s something so effortlessly sexy about him.Maybe it`s that he isn`t flashy and doesn't really try to be out there.
@Fin Zen first thing I said out loud involuntarily: holy shit he has wide shoulders.
@Fin Zen yeah I 100% agree. I want to climb him lmao
So true
Amazing! Loved it. He’s very attractive.
I am so relief Ricky got 2 good singer this episode. Finally another good contender for the win.
I have the main show playing back now. I am so, so sorry about the loss of your beautiful mum. She is obviously looking down on you now.😇😇
Some competition for Kevin finally. What a voice!
One of the best songs ever written.
Oh Jolan's voice is stunning and he looks gorgeous! what a performer! Im sooo keeping an eye on him throughout the process! :D
I cant stop watching this i hope he wins if he keeps that up hes a star allready!!!!!!!
Very good, born to sing Jolan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔝💙
This show has amazing singers, I wish they would show the singers more than the judges. Let the man have his 2 minutes of fame. Judges are already famous.
Love this song, awesome rendition young man
Jolan is amazing I always knew he would go far! Defiantly going to win! Gutted he couldn't sing at my wedding in November :( keep up the good work jolan! Your the best!!!!
love this version , pity he didn't record it as a single
Blimey 😮! Jolan has got a blinding Voice, I listen the video over and over, marvellous, one of my favourites performs

Harry Fisher

Cody Frost

Jolan
Bradley Waterman
Kevin Simm
Dwaine Hayden

Where is Lydia Lucy?
+Kaile Octavo good point... Replace her with Deano? 😂🦄
+Benny Newton Dwaine Hayden's audition was pretty bad IMO. Completely ruined the song.
+LVC!AN
I agree 😆
+LVC!AN i totally agree with you, except that i can't decide between Chloe and Rachel for Team Ricky
One of my favorite Elvis songs. Love your cover version ❤❤❤❤
i been sharing that video on FB to my canadian and american friends telling them they HAVE to listen to that. Best of this year for sure.
