    When she sings with the first woman in the face-off, they sound INCREDIBLE together! I think too often these shows focus too much on individuals, and ignore genius in some of the pairings. Some of the best musical acts in the last 75 years are duets, trios, and groups.

To see an 18 y.o. girl not only sing Dreams, but to sing it in her own way, with her own twist, but still being faithful to the original is just amazing. Ruti's voice and timbre are a true force of nature. And most likely, they will only get better with time.

    I learnt to love Jennifer Hudson. I thought shed be one of many divas like the others but shes like Jessie J. Shes a purist, she just loves music so much that when something is so damn good she will be happy, sad, anything and you can feel her passion. You can see this here, its not her contestant but shes in love.

      Cranberries' songs suit her voice to a tee. Ruti Olajugbagbe’s voice puts her in a special class of singers. The ones that come to my mind are Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries), Florence Welch (Florence & The Machine), & KT Tunstall.
