Great arrangement, simplified opening, let's his vocals shine brilliantly. This is such a vibe. Get this man a record deal and a touring show. He is so ready. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
I hope the late great Bobby Caldwell who made this song a hit in the 1970’s and who just passed in March 2023 would have enjoyed hearing DSmooth sing his song.
I would definitely pay to see this man in live concert if they don't give him a record deal after this show I don't even care if he doesn't win this show they better give him a good record deal I can already imagine all the features and collaborations he would be doing with so many famous artists he already looks like he's a famous artist feature on the show and not one of the contestants this man is so good I only watch this season because I wanted to go for Niall but now I'm going for D Smooth I don't care whose team he's on 😂
I did a bit of research. This song came out in 1978. He made it sound like it came out tonight and it was our first time hearing this song. Such a cool arrangement and loved how they replaced a lot of the horns with more electronic sounds
To each his own. It's an old school song, the horns are an integral part of Bobby Caldwell's original tune and to me, of this song. "The original and still the best" applies here but, props to Smooth for his excellent vocal
... "did a bit of research".? Uh, you late to the party. He did alright, made me want to listen to the original but he ain't kill it. I like what 2Pac did and what snoh Aalegra did with the song but outside that is best left alone. FR.
My boy!!! I was not expecting this version from you but now it’s one of my favorites of all time! You did our Unc (Bobby Caldwell) proud! You are here for a reason and you are so deserving of all the recognition and praise that you’ve gotten so far and will get in the future. I’m so thankful to have been around you and your positive spirit. Love you man! You represent US all well, brotha! #Season23
This was another song I haven't heard before but man D. Smooth killed that! Fantastic performance from him and that was super cool. Loved it and that arrangement was everything!
Guess you weren't around when this classic was released in the late 70s by Bobby Caldwell, one of the blackest sounding white men out there (along with Michael McDonald of course).
I liked all the finale contestants so much. I rarely like them all but I’ll be glad for any of them to win- but I like DSmooth the best. He brings so much class and joy in his performances. Most consistently great!
D.SMOOTH did a fine job here. Bobby Caldwell wrote and performed this song originally. It was his biggest hit. He was put into a genre labeled BLUE-EYED SOUL. He was white but his singing voice was often mistaken as being black. There are many reaction videos on yt of people learning for the first time that he was a white singer.
Might be the best potential artist ever on the voice.
I truly agree
Great arrangement, simplified opening, let's his vocals shine brilliantly. This is such a vibe. Get this man a record deal and a touring show. He is so ready. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
Agreed. I had to replay the performance because the first time I found myself completely zoned into how smooth his voice was.
Yes to both these comments!

@@togo2africa I think he would.
DSmooth has to win this. He deserves it. Such a talent & very cool humble guy
Vote for him❤❤
i felt like gina and dsmooth really caught my eyes for this season
Love him but to me Gina and Grace are really better

Now if you listen to the lyrics. The realness step in. Then and Now.

Cast my only vote for D.smooth but there are 3 or 4 finalists that I wouldn't be mad if they win. This season was lowkey stacked for real.
Somehow this has become my favorite version of this song❤
Meu favorito❤️
Just swaying thru it baby ❤
This is really nice since the artist just passed away I believe Mr. Caldwell would really enjoy this I know I am sing my brother....
D smooth this is his best performance
He representing Birmingham Alabama well 😘

Team Kelly for the win because of DSmooth❤️💪
Smooth indeed 👌🏽
A natural performer. Cant wait till he gets a record deal. I would like him to do this song and Location on an album.
I love him!!!
Wish we could’ve gotten the chance to hear him and Gina duet both of their voices together would be MAGIC
DSmooth & Ray Uriel really carried the male RnB vocalist performances for The Voice this season.
Truth
I know I wanted him to win
I mean: this is the MAN!
THE MAN 🥵
