‘Hi Michael, I’m at The Voice, we’ve just heard an artist sing and his voice is obviously influenced by you,’ explained Guy, as Jake stood in disbelief.
‘Can you listen to him sing for two seconds, is that alright?’
Michael was instantly impressed by Jake’s voice, saying: ‘Don’t get too famous! Dude, you sound great. You have a nice smooth tone.’

Before his audition, Jake said he’s always compared to Michael.
‘I’d say I’m a new age crooner. People have at times compared me to Michael Bublé with the sort of style that I sing,’ he said to producers.
‘I’m not in that company just yet, but hopefully being on the show will put me somewhat closer. If I’m compared to [Michael], that’s a fantastic thing.’
