Hard to pick. They all were excellent. "Simple Man" stands out, but that might be because I'm a LS fan.

I missed Sawyer, now it's 2023 and I'm still watching his performance❤
I respect that Pharrell kept Sawyer in his wheelhouse with appropriate song choices and didn't try and turn him into a popstar with stupid song choices. They we're a great team!

The boy is a full package 📦 Most of all he is the example of what we need to see in musicians today... being real.. being human. I hope he never changes .

So pure and genuine. May he stay WHO and HOW he is. ♡
After 9 years, comming back to see all those amazing performance from this guy! I saw everything from Sony Tv with my brother in 2015, when music were a serius thing! Amazing Sawyer💪🏽🎻
I loved the battle on Have You Ever Seen The Rain. It was a beautiful duet.

Yeah... It's wonderful...
What great talent and only 15 yrs old, I have saved this vid so I can come back and listen to him. Bob Dillan songs would be great for him to sing.
" Boy" from the far Himalaya's, you are out of this world. You are incredible. Keep care of your cows, chicken, etc.........but just sing. You make all of our Yaks farmers super happy......Hands UP
Pharrell is such a great coach! The choice of songs suits so well the voice and personality of Sawyer! Bravo

He was born in an old school.of music and new he's opened the door and brought it back into the 21st century his voice is soulfull and full of emotion hope he goes a long way.
A big lesson here for aspiring vocalists. I particularly notice the lack of vocal gymnastics so often seen and heard in talent comps.. a refreshing and welcome change. Just singing with great control and feeling, and genuine..
I missed Sawyer and now it's 2022, I always listen to him ever since he won the voice.
One of my favorite winners of the voice usa
This young man was/is outstanding in every way - he has his own sound and a very humble way that I hope never changes. Love all he sings and wish him every success.
Clever of him to pick Pharrell, he looked truly mesmerized by his performance & what he said afterwards was humble & lovely. Love Sawyer, his voice & persona are perfect for intimate small concerts where everybody solemnly keeps quiet & absorbs the beauty & depth of his art 🤍

To understand & feel his every word. Whoa, back up the train Wayne.
So nice to see young artists bringing older tracks to a new audience .
this is what we need today, an old soul. he has got alot of talents. Unique vocal.
Something magical about this kid. Definitely X factor star power!
These were years ago and I'm still here watching him in awe. Such a talent.
I'm a huge fan of Sawyer. He has grown so much since the show and has kept his authenticity. The boy is now a man and what a fantastic musician he has become!
i am still listening to him.
The duet. Sawyer made her sound good too and eased his power to make it a great performance from both.
Sawyer and Pharrells voices really match each other 😍
I reckon the musicians were delighted to back him, they recognise talent when they hear it. Also reckon other singers will be clamouring to sing a duet with him. I feel like I was invited to a concert of someone I'd never heard of, but became a lifelong fan. He's certainly someone whose musical journey is worth watching out for. Thanks for sharing from Chester UK.
Imagine! Did it better than I have ever heard it. It made me cry it was so beautiful. And then he killed it with Simple Man. Wow. Thanks, Sawyer.
I love this guy. So much talent.💜
Amazing voice on this young man. Truly a great singer, deserves his win.
I don't watch The Voice but I stumbled upon this young man singing and was amazed. Pharrel was definitely the best coach for him, he saw him, who he was and encouraged him to be true to himself. Loved, loved, loved this young man's voice!!!
Seriously, one of the best voices I have heard in years.. Sawyer is a star in the making . What tone he has, it's perfect...
he has the most beautiful unusual vioce I hav ever herd in my 76 yrs of life australia .
The song choices by Pharell and him are absolutely outstanding. Imagine -> Iris -> Simple man to start the Live Playoffs practically ensured the fans would love him all the way to the finals
I like that singer,the voice is very clear and has a fluent pronouncation Love it
He has a unique voice, awesome
I saw Sawyer's speech for the first time a long time ago. I was very impressed. A talented, nice and charismatic young man! He is my sympathy forever!👍👏(Давно вперше побачив виступ Сойера. Залишився дуже враженим. Талановитий, симпатичний та харизматичний юнак! Він - моя симпатія назавжди!)
As I watch all his work together as an album. I can't help but think this young man, a real artist has just proven that hearts ♥ really can sing.
Reminds me of a young John Denver! Love this guy!!
cela fait quelques années que j'ecoute les nouvelles voix et chaque fois que je tombe sur toi Sawyer , il faut que j'écoute ....merci d'etre là....
I'm still blown away every time I hear him sing.
An excellent road to the final, brilliant song choices from coach, Pharrell. Great to see this young man blossom into a well known artist in the USA, he certainly has a unique voice, the sort of voice that appeals to all ages, the girls in the audience certainly love him. Good luck Sawyer.
Soul to Soul... All Souls To Swayers soulful classic ... His endings are smooth
This child has a God-given talent! It can bring a lot of joy and happiness to people.
The legend ever in The Voice.. In battle.. Wow! that's the best duo ever in The Voice ..
Fantastic guy 15 years old he is folks singer already very young 💯👌👌👌👌👌 For the future
He was outstanding he deserves to win congrats 🎉🎉🙏
The musicians are likewise awesome. it's a perfect package ready to take the road anytime and make wonders along them. Thank God for these young man's talent
What a beautiful voice, perfect genre too. He was born to be a country singer. His understanding of the power of music, feelings and delivery far ascend his years. Wishing you everything you wish for yourself. Xx

Un phénomène de la nature superbe vraiment bravo
Oh it's so perfect show 🤩 I love all of them (all of these musics) Musics 🎶 are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful, pure, talented human being this boy. Joyful to listen him. Love it!♥️
PIĘKNA DUSZA , muzyka prosto z SERCA . Pozdrawiam z Polski
I loved his rendition of Neil Young as Old Man. I think that any Neil Young songs would have been a great performance by Sawyer. He kinda reminds me of Young...he enjoys his life of country, away from the limelight, just him and his guitar being able to compose songs , a storyteller with a unique voice . Pharrell Williams was the perfect choice to coach him because he let this boy continue to be himself. He is a young Bob Dylan who just wants to enjoy telling his stories through the simplicity of his talent...just a boy with this unique voice ,his guitar and having the capabilities of reaching fans all over the world with this.
A velvet, tremulous, old world voice that makes the listener spell bound listening intently to every note, every word. What a fresh, unique sound to listen to for years. Nothing quite like Sawyer. Excellent performences. Bravo.
🙏😇👍❤️ I really a Fan of the Voice Long Time!!! Especially this Young growing Up Man 👨Fredrick ! I love ❤️ His Wonderful Voice !!!
Please bring your music to England 🇬🇧 🙏
Magical performance 😍😍
