14-Year-Old Self Taught Harpist Triggered Massive Coach War! ｜ The Voice Kids

My name is Niamh. I'm 14 years old and I'm from Northern Ireland. I live with my mum, my dad, my brother and sister and my two little puppies. There's always music going on in our house with me playing the harp and my little sister Molly, she plays the bohran. My little brother Malachy, he plays the banjo. My dad, he plays the Ellen pipes, the guitar and the whistle. Well I used to play traditional Irish songs when Niamh was a wee nipper and Niamh then obviously heard these songs and that's where she picked it up from. He's my biggest inspiration. Niamh has been watching The Voice Kids for years. Her little sister said, imagine Niamh, that could be you one day and now here she is, so she is just over the moon. That I see the world so different now. Today is a really, really big day. The stage is absolutely massive and so I'm really nervous. Would it be okay if I came home to you? I get quite emotional at times when I watch her so I'm going to be interested to see how I will cope. Just have to walk across that really, really big stage. And I see the world so different now. It's history. Winner takes it all, the sadness won't. Beside that's her destiny. Tell me does she kiss? Time is beautiful. Like I used to kiss you. Does it feel the same when she calls your name? Showstopper. My favourite moment on The Voice Kids ever. Sorry, what's your name? My name is Niamh. I'm 14 years old and I'm from Northern Ireland. How long have you been playing the harp? I've been playing the harp for four years. Wow. But I only started singing and playing the harp during lockdown. Wow. Are you kidding me? That's crazy. It was just mesmerising. I had tears in my eyes. It was so moving, so beautiful. I'm such a fan. The timing of your singing was so amazing. Tell me does she kiss? The timing, her delivery. It was really special. Who were your inspirations? Well, my dad's probably my inspiration. Your dad plays music? Yeah, he sings also and he plays the Ellen Pipes on the guitar. Oh wow, you two together, Ellen Pipe and harp. Yeah. What's an Ellen Pipe? It's like a bagpipe but you don't blow into it. It flows in there. Oh, the one you use like... Is there like an Irish thing getting ready to happen here? I absolutely hope so because there's two other coaches that turned. Yeah, but they're not from Ireland. My home is in O'Neill. We're an O'Neill family and we've been to Donegal many times. I know a lot about Ireland. But can I just say, I'm actually Irish as well. No, are you Irish? No, no, I actually am. All right, Niamh, let them try. God loves a trier. Wow, so are you guys going to pitch? It's crazy that you picked this song because a couple of weeks ago, I got a guitar and I just thought, Winner Takes It All would be beautiful as a gorgeous, simple ballad like this. So I actually have a version of this with guitar and voice very similar to what you've just done. And I think something beautiful and big is going to happen off the back of this. Very special. Thank you. Where's the pitch? That's my pitch. Okay, Pixie, your pitch. Time to pitch now. Niamh, what just happened there was magical. And the reason it was so special is because it was so elegant and classy. And you had the audience in the palm of your hand. And it was like you didn't even have to try, which makes it even more amazing. Jane, it's your time to pitch. Begin. I play an Irish guitar. Oh, here we go. I do. My guitar is from Ireland. And to have you on my team with that stunning voice of yours and with that talent, it will be an absolute pleasure, Niamh. Thank you. So, Niamh, you've heard the pitches. I love your name, by the way. Thank you. Can I just throw it out there? Does anyone know how to spell Niamh? Yes. N-I-A-M-H. Well done. I thought I was going to get them there on that, Niamh, but okay. Is there one person that you're leaning towards? No. You've got this. I'm going to pick Ronin. What a moment. That was so amazing. I'm so excited about the song choices for you. Welcome to Team Ronin. Thank you, Niamh. Thank you so much. Oh, my goodness. That went on. That was fantastic.
