WOMAN: All crew stand by.
One hour until show time.
MAN: Camera six.
WOMAN: Can we get lights?
WOMAN: Can I get a check on camera one?
MAN: 30 seconds, guys.
WOMAN: Everyone in position.
WOMAN: Have a great show, everyone.
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, make a little bit of noise in here!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# And you and I are dreaming tonight...
WOMAN: It is definitely my ultimate dream
to perform on The Voice stage.
# 'Cause you and I are dreaming...
WOMAN: I'm done hiding in the shadows.
It's my time to step into the spotlight.
# And you and I are dreaming...
MAN: I really want to spread my wings
and I'm looking for my big break here on The Voice stage.
MAN: Give it up for Guy Sebastian!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Jessica Mauboy!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Rita Ora!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Jason Derulo!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
JASON: There's a lot of people out there
that are dying to have a new favourite artist
and that artist could be singing in their bedroom right now
and the world hasn't heard them yet.
The Voice will give that person the opportunity for a world stage.
MAN: Are you ready?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# This is The Voice! #
My ultimate dream for my music career
is to be a huge powerhouse,
sell out stadiums,
just being the next kick-arse country female artist.
Oops! I can't say that, can I?
(CHUCKLES)
I'm Bella Mackenzie.
I'm 18 years old and I'm from Mackay in Central North Queensland.
I've always had a love for country music.
I think it's definitely growing and growing,
but people kind of look down on it.
It's important for me to be able to go out
and show that a country music's still alive and well.
Every weekend, I've been singing at the local pub
since I was probably 12 years old.
But The Voice stage is going to be really different
compared to the local pub.
Everyone there's not really listening.
They're kind of doing their own thing.
The coaches that I'm playing in front of for my blind audition
have had such huge careers and they're all so successful,
so I'm super nervous.
The song I'm singing for my blind audition
is 'Anti-hero' by Taylor Swift.
It's originally a pop song but I've turned it into country.
It is a huge risk
because it's not the really recognisable version
that everyone knows.
But I'm always going to stick to my roots and play country music.
If I turn a chair today,
it will mean so much to me.
I don't want to be the next Taylor Swift.
I want to be the first Bella Mackenzie.
WOMAN: Artist walking.
(SILENCE)
Nervous breathing.
# I have this thing
# Where I get older but just never wiser...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Midnights become my afternoons...
(LAUGHS) Great song. Wow.
# When my depression works the graveyard shift
# All of the people... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# I've ghosted stand there in the room...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# It's me, hi
# I'm the problem, it's me...
Yeah! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero...
Ooh! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
(SQUEALS)
# Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
# And I'm a monster on the hill, ooh
# Too big to hang out
# Slowly lurching toward your favourite city
# Pierced through the heart but never killed
# Oh, it's me, hi
# I'm the problem, it's me
# At teatime, everybody agrees
# I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
# It must be exhausting
# Always rooting for the anti-hero
# For the anti-hero. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
GUY: That was so good!
Holy moly!
Holy moly indeed!
What the heck? (LAUGHS)
Wow!
Well, I'm Bella Mackenzie.
I'm 18 years old and I'm from Mackay in North Queensland.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You're 18?
Yeah. Yep.
Is this Mum and Dad?
Yep. (CHUCKLES) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Bella...
I think I have a new favourite.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
And let me tell you why. Just - it's a no-brainer.
There was so much feel in the way you were singing,
so much musicality in the things that you were doing,
great song choice. I love Taylor Swift.
I got the pleasure of touring with Taylor when she was here
and she would absolutely love that version.
Thank you, thank you. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Tell me a bit about what you want out of The Voice.
Yeah. Well, I'm here to put country music on the map.
I love country music and it's kind of how I grew up,
so yeah, just love it.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I would absolutely love you on my team.
To be honest, if I was a record label, I would sign you
just because you could be, not just in Australia...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
..but serious, serious potential
to hold your own on a world stage in the country scene as well.
I don't say that sort of stuff very often,
so I think you're great. I really do.
Thank you so much.
Oh, sis. Wow.
You're speaking my genre of music.
I grew up listening to country music.
That's pretty much what all my family listened to
and I just had to...
Really? Yeah, I just had to put up with it.
No. (LAUGHTER)
No, but I learned to grow with it and love it and understand it
and learned, actually, how to song-write from it.
I still write it in my music, particularly in my ballads,
you know, even in my high temp -
like 'Pop a bottle' came from country.
(SINGING) # I don't want to wait
# Until the weekend comes...
Like, it was proper country song
and then we turned it into a pop song,
so I see you doing that. I see you doing both things.
You know, I see your name up there,
I see you rocking it out in stadiums,
like, sis, you know,
we could do that. We could do that.
You could do that with Team Jess.
I want you on my team.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I really loved the arrangement.
You know, I think Taylor
really went out on a limb
and created an album and a sound
that was very much a departure from her previous work,
but you even took that departure and you brought it back to her roots
which I thought was really interesting.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Because what you kind of did
was you brought the best of both Taylor worlds
and put them together,
which I thought was really, really brilliant.
You came out here and you were totally an individual
and you hit all your notes
and you told the story, most importantly.
I think you have what it takes.
JESS: Absolutely.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Bella, I love you.
I think you are the cutest, just cutest thing.
You are the full package.
I think that when you become a huge superstar,
don't forget about us... (CHUCKLES)
Yes! ..and they're going to make,
like, dolls out of you. I can see it now.
(LAUGHTER)
All jokes aside, I'm so impressed.
You know, I definitely, definitely would love nothing more
than to work with you.
Your ability is through the roof.
It was just unbelievable.
I don't have anyone like you on my team,
and on top of that, you are so young and you seem so fun,
and I want you to really enjoy
this experience and, you know, you are definitely a force
to be reckoned with
and I would love to have you on Team Rita.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you so much.
GUY: OK, it's choosing time.
(CHEERING)
Well, I really appreciate everything that you've all said.
Thank you so much. It means a lot.
Obviously, I am so inspired by all of you.
You're all insane.
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK) (CHEERING)
But I think that this person
sort of just related to what I've been thinking
as an artist lately,
so I think that the person
I'm going to go with...
(CHEERING)
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
..is Guy.
Hey! Yes!
That was great suspense.
You said Guy, right?
She said Guy! She said Guy!
(LAUGHS)
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
How are you doing?
That was so great. Thank you.
So great. Thank you.
I love all your runs and stuff.
How are you feeling? You can breathe now.
Yeah. So good. It's a good feeling when it's done.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, that's so cool.
Hello, Dad. G'day, mate. How are you?
Hello, Mum. How are you doing? Yeah, good, thanks. It's Paul, mate.
Good to see you guys. How are you, Paul? What's your name?
Jackie. Jackie. Lovely to meet you.
Go on. Congrats.
Wow! Four chairs. Oh, my god. Awesome.
So proud.
How are you feeling? Thank you for the feedback.
That was incredible. Oh, she's great though.
Thank you so much.
Pleasure. Thanks for taking her.
Great to meet you guys. Good on you, Bella.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Hey!
She's cool. She's cool.
Yeah.
She's cool. I liked her.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) I've got three artists now
and Bella is such a good addition to Team Guy.
That country soul voice.
I think out of everyone I've got, Bella's the most ready.
NARRATOR: Next...
WOMAN: A host karaoke at my local pub.
When I get up on stage, I don't know if the reaction's authentic,
if they've had a pint too many.
I don't know what's going on.
NARRATOR: Can a karaoke queen cut it on The Voice stage?
Come on, Jess!
NARRATOR: And later...
(SINGING)
..which jaw-dropping voice...
That is one of the quickest button-pushes I've ever had.
You just killed that audition.
..forces one coach...
Oh!
..to bring on a block?
Wow.
# This is The Voice! #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
# You can't stop us having a good time...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
WOMAN: Jason!
Hello!
(CHEERING)
(LAUGHS) "Hello."
(LAUGHS)
That was my really, really bad Australian accent.
Hello. Hello.
(LAUGHTER)
Hello. Hello. Hello.
How are ya? It's like a "Rrr." Hello.
The Os are the hardest for me.
How are ya? How are ya?
My favourite is "14 beers."
"14 beers." Where did you learn that?
"I've sunk 14 beers." (LAUGHS)
That's crazy that you've heard that so many times.
"14 beers. 14. You gonna have 14 beers."
"14. 14 beers."
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I could never work in an office, sitting behind a desk.
That's why I decided to study floristry.
# Oh, there she goes like a shooting star...
My name is Tiarose Burgess.
I'm 20 years of age.
I live in Budgewoi, New South Wales.
I think floristry definitely fuels my creative side,
but really, all I want is to just sing.
# Oh, sing along...
TIAROSE: I host karaoke at my local pub
and a love how much fun everyone has doing karaoke.
Hand people a microphone, watch them sing.
Watch them live out my dreams on stage.
I have no idea if I'm good or bad.
When I get up on stage, I don't know if the reaction is authentic,
if they've had a pint too many.
I don't know what's going on.
Karaoke is cool but I want the real deal.
# Stay, stay
# Because you know you're not broken...
I'm super confident singing in front of drunk people at karaoke.
However, singing in front of a live audience
with international coaches.
I'm feeling super under-pressure now.
I've never done anything like this before.
# Stay, stay...
(SILENCE)
# You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
# 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Whoo!
# You can rely on the old man's money
# It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
# 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway...
She's good. # Say money, money
# Won't get you too far, get you too far...
Come on!
Hey! Go, Tia!
Yeah, baby! Hey!
# Don't you know, don't you know
# That it's wrong to take what he's giving you
# So far gone, on your own
# You could get along if you tried to be strong
# But you'll never be strong
# 'Cause you're a rich girl
# And you've gone too far
# 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
# You can rely on the old man's money
# It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
# 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
# Say money, money won't get you too far...
Come on, Jess! Come on, Jess!
# Say money, money won't get you too far
# Get you too far. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, my god. Look how much I'm shaking.
JESS: Whoa!
Well, hello!
Hello. Hi, everybody.
(LAUGHS) Who are you? Where are you from?
Tell me everything.
My name's Tiarose.
I'm 20 and I'm from the Central Coast.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Yeah, girl.
Well, lucky me.
Because I'm the only one who turned!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Yay! (LAUGHS)
I think what I loved the most was that I was so pulled in.
You have a very unique vocal.
It was so, so super cool
and I'm just so excited as a coach
and whatever I can give the experience
and whatever you would like to know,
I would be honoured to be able to give that to you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) You've got an amazing coach.
Thank you. I love your voice. I really do.
Thank you so much.
You've got such a great, almost country thing going on.
It's a pop voice
but there's some really beautiful country inflexions.
It just didn't tip me over the edge to push my button.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you.
What do you do?
I'm actually a karaoke master.
What? Yeah, I like host karaoke.
Really? Come on now.
What is a karaoke master?
Oh, just a host of karaoke.
(LAUGHTER)
Oh! (LAUGHTER)
It just sounds better. In the Central Coast?
No, actually in Newcastle.
Oh, nice. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
So, you basically say, "Ladies and gentlemen,"
"tonight, you are going to sing so-and-so."
"So and so", and then they get up and it's their time to shine.
Oh, my god. How fun.
Yeah. It's awesome.
So, you watch other people...
All the time.
..get their chance to sing. "All the time."
And then this is your chance to sing.
Finally. This is my big shot.
(LAUGHTER) Yay!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
So, what? Like, as karaoke master, what's the most important job?
Volume.
Really? (LAUGHTER)
Yeah. JESS: Right.
'Cause if they're like not great...
Oh! If they're great...
(LAUGHS) Man, I wish we had volume.
(LAUGHTER)
No wonder - well, I mean, after a couple of drinks,
lord knows what comes out of my mouth when I'm in the pub.
But, you know, no wonder I'm thinking,
that sounds a bit low for me in the pub.
I'm used to kind of really shouting and now I know why.
(LAUGHTER) Exactly. There you go.
It's me.
I mean, can you be our karaoke master?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Yeah.
Is that alright?
Yeah, I can be the karaoke master.
Let's get a little crazy. You're gonna do some karaoke?
So, you are - I am in your hands.
You are my karaoke master,
and PS, I'm not doing this alone. You guys...
JESS: Oh, OK.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
So, you're going to introduce us
as though we are drunk fools up in Newcastle.
Oh, no!
I'm not ready for this.
Normally, I have to, like, think really hard
about what karaoke song
'cause there's just so many amazing ones.
Oh!
In B?
Well, first, yeah, the melody.
It's actually in E.
Oh, it's E. Oh, I get you.
Oh, OK. Cool. Yeah. Easy.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Alright, and tonight, we have Guy Sebastian.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Please take it away for Guy!
# Making my way downtown
# Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Staring blankly ahead
# Just making my way
# Making a way through the crowd...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# And I miss you
# And I need you...
(LAUGHTER)
# And now I wonder
# If I could fall into the sky
# Do you think time would pass us by
# Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
# If I could just see you...
(JESS LAUGHS)
(LAUGHTER) # Tonight. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thank you very much.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you so much.
Next up, Jess.
OK. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
OK, I'm going to give this a go.
We're going to do...
(SINGING) # Da, da, da, da, da...
Alright, I think this is like an appropriate song for karaoke.
I don't know. You can tell me after.
(LAUGHTER)
(ROCK MUSIC)
# Tommy used to work on the docks...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
# Oh, it's tough
# She says she's gotta hold on to what we've got
# It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
# We got each other and that's a lot for love...
Come on!
# We'll give it a shot...
Let's go!
# Whoa, we're half way there
# Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
# Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
# Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
# Livin' on a prayer! #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Yeah!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Well, Tiarose, I'm so excited to have you on Team Jess.
How great! Thank you so much.
I'm so excited to work with you.
I'm so excited to as well. Thank you. It's fantastic.
Oh, it's an absolute pleasure, and family over here.
Thank you for bringing the vibe. Thank you so much, guys.
That was so good!
So sweet. Good get. She's cool.
She's cool. I like her.
Yeah, yeah.
Team Jess has got two,
and Tiarose, I just think she's a really cool chick
and she's got, yeah, she's got something in her
that I'm looking forward to,
I guess, helping her bring that out a lot more.
Let's go. Yeah!
Go, Team Jess!
NARRATOR: Next...
MAN: This is The Voice.
Everybody's really, really good.
I have got to bring this to the next level.
This is not the time to play it safe.
NARRATOR: One of the best singers in the competition...
..blows the coaches away.
I mean, we've heard some singers but you were sanging.
# This is The Voice! #
# Dream...
JASON: My dream as a kid
was to be able to share the music
that I wrote with the world.
# Feel like I'm in a dream...
# I'm in a dream now...
RITA: When I first started out,
I just really wanted to sing forever and I still do.
JESS: My dream was to be able
to stand in front of thousands of people
and sing out into the world.
GUY: I came through this in a very unique way.
The same way all these artists are,
where people vote so that I could live my dream.
That belief that people had in me,
I think that's always been my driving force
and these artists, they'll never forget that belief.
# I feel like I'm in a dream...
JASON: It's such a platform
that gives all of these artists an opportunity.
This show changes lives and transforms people's worlds.
I would do anything to make one of my artists' dreams come true.
JESS: We all have that ability to dream.
Sometimes they do just come true.
WOMAN: I would really love
for my music to reach as many people as I can.
That's my dream.
My name's Michaela Jayde.
I'm 35 and I've been doing backing vocal work.
I've got two beautiful kids. They're so gorgeous
and I knew that when I had them,
I just wanted to focus on my family.
My husband is a firefighter,
so he has those night shifts
and rotational shifts over the weekend as well.
It has been really hard to juggle with my gigs
and so I got into this rut of being the backing vocalist,
but I know it's important for me to be my own artist.
I just can't wait to get out there
and just sing the song
and see you guys standing there. (LAUGHS)
We're so proud of Mum, and be?
Guys? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Mum's the best.
# This is love and I feel it for you...
MICHAELA: I grew up in a family of musicians.
My brother is Ben Abraham.
He's an amazing songwriter.
He's done a lot of co-writing for other artists.
He's worked with incredible artists like Sarah Bareilles and Ben Platt.
One of his most well-known works is 'Praying' by Kesha.
Oh! It's a little video message.
Hey, sis.
I'm so bummed I can't be there
but Michaela, I am so proud of you.
Get out there, take a moment to centre yourself
and show them who you are 'cause you're amazing.
Love you lots.
Oh!
# So, keep fighting...
MICHAELA: The song that I'll be singing for my blind audition
is 'Who's loving you', made famous by The Jackson Five.
# Don't you know it's in my blood...
The beginning of this song
is me singing a huge run in a capella and that's quite scary.
# You can't stop me now...
But all I need is to just turn one chair.
# In my blood
# And I won't ever back down...
I'm really hoping that I can hold those big notes.
# I never strayed, it was in my blood...
This is not the time to play it safe.
# I can't give up...
# When I...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# When I... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Had you...
They all turned!
# I treated you bad
# And wrong, my dear
# Boy, since
# Since you been gone
# Don't you know I sit around
# With my head hanging down
# And I wonder
# Who's lovin' you
# 'Cause life without love
# Is oh so lonely...
OK.
# I don't think, no, I don't think, I'm gonna make it
# All of my life, all my life, baby
# I've lost to you only
# And I wonder who's
# Lovin'
# You. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
JASON: Yeah!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
That I'm talking about!
(JESS LAUGHS)
Oh, my goodness.
Please tell us who you are and where you're from.
So, my name's Michaela Jayde.
I'm 35 and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Hey, Michaela.
Hi, Guy.
That is one of the quickest button-pushes I think I've ever had.
(LAUGHTER)
I knew straight away just from your opening.
Wow! I think it's the song too.
Like, the hardest bit is right at the opening of the song.
It doesn't let you warm into it, but you nailed it.
Oh, my gosh! Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I mean, we've heard some singers, but you were sanging!
Oh, thank you.
(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You were singing for your life!
(LAUGHS)
You know, we sit in these chairs
and we see so many amazing artists come through
and it's so exciting when a voice like yours hits the stage.
So much soul, so pure.
That was super powerful.
You're undeniably amazing
and your ability to sing like that just - ooh - gives me goosebumps
and I love it. Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I would be honoured to have you on Team Jess, seriously.
Thank you. I would really love that.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I mean, I was blown away as well.
You have such a beautiful gift.
Why now? Why did you decide to come to The Voice now?
Well, I've grown up in a musical family.
I've been singing all my life and even professionally
for, like, 15 years or more than that,
but I think I've kind of put this ceiling over myself
and played it safe, even professionally.
But I'm ready to not play safe anymore.
I want to just go for it. (LAUGHS)
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I would love to have you as a part of Team Jason.
I think you bring such a powerhouse vocal
and just such a great spirit about you as well.
You brought in this entire room.
I'm sure everybody in here
is thankful that you came here tonight.
Thank you. Thank you so much. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I feel like I owe you some money
'cause I watched that performance, but I'll pay you later.
(LAUGHTER)
Hi.
Hi, Rita!
Oh, man. That was just so beautiful.
I am in such awe of you
and it's incredible to see
such a sort of strong independent mum at the same time coming out here
and just having a good time and rocking the stage.
You know? Thank you.
Yeah. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I'd love, love, love to have you on my team. Genuinely.
Thank you.
Thanks, Rita. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You know what?
One thing I love is watching kids
watch their parents do something brave,
and you know, they will never forget that
and I think it's so brave of you.
You gig around town a lot.
Yeah, I have been gigging for a long time.
In Melbourne?
Yeah, in Melbourne, so yeah, like I said,
like, because I grew up, you know, singing with my family,
it kind of just grew from there.
My brother's also, like, a very successful songwriter.
Ben Abraham.
Ben and... Oh, my god. No.
Yeah, that's my brother. Yeah.
Your family, like, now that I heard that...
(LAUGHS)
Like, what the heck?
How can you have that much talent in one family?
And Ben, I'm a huge fan of Ben.
Me too. You know, like, what a songwriter,
what an incredible voice.
But you, it's your moment to shine.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I'm so glad that you just said,
"I'm going to make a decision for myself."
"I'm just going to do something that is out of my comfort zone."
'Cause it's a really brave thing to do.
Thank you for saying that.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Well, it's decision time.
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
Oh, alright. So, decision time.
Yeah, this is the time. (LAUGHS)
Thank you all for turning your chairs.
This is insane.
(CHEERING)
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
The coach that I'm going to choose...
Ah!
..is you, Guy.
Really? (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Actually?
Yes, I'd love to work with you.
That is awesome!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for turning.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you so much.
No, thank you, sister.
Oh, my god.
So good.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, likewise.
That was so good.
You're so pretty and so gorgeous.
Great things ahead.
We will see you!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, my god!
Oh!
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my gosh!
Yay! Amazing. That was amazing.
Thank you.
How cool is Mum?
Dude, she chose me 'cause you pointed at me.
(LAUGHS)
Thank you! We all agreed about doing you.
Did you? (LAUGHS)
I was genuinely shocked.
Genuinely shocked. So, thank you.
You'll have so much fun. Thank you.
And you guys can come and watch and hang as well.
Yay!
Alright. See you, guys. Thank you. Alright, thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Yeah!
That was - I was shocked.
I was genuinely shocked. Wow! That's so cool!
That was - wow. Yeah.
I'm excited about my team. Yeah.
I'm excited.
You'd better be.
(LAUGHS) Yeah. It's cool.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
She was good.
NARRATOR: Coming up...
MAN: I was in the Australian Army for 30 years.
PTSD, it eats at you.
NARRATOR: Will a brave veteran and his trusty offsider...
MAN: Bella is a PTSD assistance dog.
I call her my little guardian angel.
..turn a coach's chair?
# This is The Voice! #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
# I always get it, boy
# With you by my side...
I'm Chris Hodder.
I'm 60 years old and I'm from Canberra.
Oh, wow!
This is Bella.
Bella came into my life to help me with some issues I have
from service in the military.
Since she's come into my life, my life has changed.
I call her my little guardian angel.
Who eats a lot. (LAUGHS)
# Together, we could go anywhere...
Bella is a PTSD veteran's assistance dog.
She watches me and if things are not right, she lets me know.
I was in the Australian Army for 30 years.
I spent a lot of time overseas on deployments.
You're living in hostile environments.
You're confronted with a lot of stuff that just changes your life.
PTSD, you know, it eats at you.
For me, I didn't sleep
because when you do sleep,
then you start to dream
and dreams turn to nightmares.
I was grinding my teeth so badly
that I wore out the sockets in my jaws,
so both jaws were replaced.
That nearly forced me to stop singing
because now, I can't move my jaw forward
and I can't open my mouth as far as I could before.
But music brings me a lot of happiness
and I want to share that happiness as much as I can with everyone.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
The most important thing for a person who sings,
they need to believe in themselves
and believe that what they're doing makes themselves feel good.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(WHISPERS) Wait, Bell. Bell, wait.
Come back.
(SOTTO) Here we go, Mum.
On your mat. Lay down. Drop down.
Drop down. Good girl. Good girl.
Stay there. Stay there.
Sounds like a...
Dog.
Yeah, like a dog or something.
Or a child.
(GUITAR BEGINS)
# When night has come...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# And the land is dark
# And the moon is the only light we will see...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# No, I won't be afraid
# Just as long as you stand, stand by me...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# If the sky we look upon
# Should tumble and fall
# Or the mountains should crumble to the sea...
(CHEERING)
# I won't cry, I won't cry
# No, I won't shed a tear
# Just as long as you stand, stand by me
# So, darlin', darlin', stand by me
# Oh, stand by me
# Whoa, stand now, stand by me
# Stand by me. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, stop it! The dog killed me!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Hi, buddy!
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
Well, that makes sense now.
I thought I could hear someone say, saying, "Sit."
Or... Yeah, "Stay. Lay down."
Yeah, "Sit, girl. Sit, girl."
Who's that? Yes.
This is Bella.
Who are you first? Yes, who are you first?
(LAUGHTER)
My name's Chris.
I'm 60 and I'm from the ACT.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Welcome, Chris.
Welcome.
That was beautiful.
Really beautiful. Thank you.
That's one of those songs
that immediately floods the room with emotions.
You saw it in the audience.
They were immediately on their feet.
It brings people together.
You're the hardest person to give critique to because it was great.
I was just searching for that extra gear.
Well done. You did nothing wrong.
No. You've got a beautiful gift.
You should be proud of yourself.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I didn't turn because your voice was fine.
There was nothing wrong with it.
You know, there was no wrong pitch or anything.
If anything, it was just super safe for me in my mind
because I was just trying to figure out what I could do for you,
so that was the reason why I didn't turn.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) I'd love to hear a little bit
about you and the journey to get on this stage.
I served in the military for 30 years.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
GUY: Amazing.
Did multiple tours overseas.
Wow.
Bella came into my life about a year and a half ago
and she's changed my life immensely.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
She looks after me.
When I do sleep, a lot of times, I have bad nights,
and when I have bad nights, she wakes me.
Really? Wow.
Yeah, she wakes me up and helps me.
So, she's that in tune
with everything that you're going through?
Oh, yeah, definitely. Amazing.
Bella, you're so sweet.
Amazing.
I think we're giving Bella a lot of love,
but the reason that you need Bella
is because of the sacrifice that you've made
and so, I just want to thank you and honour you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Because that is...
That is a huge sacrifice
and also, thank you for that beautiful singing voice.
(LAUGHS)
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Look, thank you.
Thanks for listening.
I think what you've done today in bringing that message to light,
I was just listening to, you know,
obviously the story that you were sharing
and just thinking about so many others
that, yeah, don't get that support,
so an incredible message and an important one,
so that everyone knows
and that can help and support, and thank you. Thank you.
I think that's... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thanks, Jess.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I'll finish by saying Bella changed my life
and there's a lot of vets out there that are struggling...
Yeah.
..and the time, the money that goes in to this angel
is worth every cent if we save one veteran.
Yeah.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
GUY: Absolutely.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thank you so much.
Is it OK if I say hi? Is it OK? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hello.
Hello, beautiful.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Look after yourselves. You too, brother. Thank you.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Oh, you did amazing. We're so proud of you.
You did very well.
(CHUCKLES)
Come on.
Man, dogs are amazing.
Yeah, they really are.
Like, dogs, they are...
My dog, Leo, he's changed my life. Like just the way I look at life
and the patients and the different language, you know?
And the fact they can save...
They can save someone.
NARRATOR: Next...
WOMAN: Showing the coaches my originality
is definitely something important to me.
NARRATOR: A unique artist...
I was curious if you could show me a couple of moves.
..has Jason in a twist.
Hey, ya, hey, ya.
Yeah, you've got it! (LAUGHS)
# This is The Voice! #
# This is The Voice!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
MAN: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's give our next artist
as much as you've been giving everyone.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
WOMAN: Music makes me feel very happy.
Every time I'm feeling stressed,
I play music and it just takes my mind off things.
My name is Charlette Ginu.
I am 20 years old and I'm from Sydney.
# Tell me, is it all in my head, is it all in my head,
# Is it all in my head...
I've been dancing since the age of five,
learning Bollywood, hip-hop, and South Indian street dance,
which is called kuthu dance.
Just turn a light bulb. (LAUGHS)
The song I'm singing for my blind audition
is 'Lean on' by Major Lazer and DJ Snake.
Showing the coaches my originality
is definitely something important to me,
so I want to create, like, my own Indian classical twist to it.
I'm going to be adding a bit of Indian classical swaras,
which is basically like scales
to be more versatile
and do something that not everyone can do.
PRODUCER: Artist walking.
CHARLETTE: It's very intimidating,
but I'm doing it because I do want to show what I'm capable of.
I want to turn a chair so badly.
(SILENCE)
# Mmm
(SINGS IN HINDI)
# Do you recall, not long ago
# We would walk on the sidewalk... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Innocent, remember... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# All we did was care for each other
# But the night was warm
# We were bold and young
# All around, the wind blows
# We would only hold on to let go
# Blow a kiss, fire a gun
# We all need someone to lean on
# Blow a kiss, fire a gun
# All we need is somebody to lean on
# Blow a kiss, fire a gun
# We all need someone to lean on
# Blow a kiss, fire a gun
# All we need is somebody to lean on
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# All we need is someone to lean on
# Hey, oh, hey, oh
# Hey, oh, hey, oh...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Hey!
(SINGING IN HINDI)
Are you going to do it?
(SINGING IN HINDI)
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
What's your name?
I'm Charlette.
I am 20 years old and I'm from Sydney.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Oh, wow!
Oh, my goodness.
So, I turned around instantly
when they heard stylistically what you did at the top.
I just thought that was so cool
'cause, you know, it had that Indian flavour.
Your family is from India?
From Southern India. Yes.
South India?
Well, I am in love with the Indian culture.
The food is incredible, the music is incredible,
the dancing is incredible.
I was curious...
..if you could show me a couple of moves.
Of course!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Give me something you think I can digest.
You know, I want to learn something
'cause I feel like this is such an opportunity.
It's not everyday that I meet an Indian princess, so come on.
Show me something.
(APPLAUSE)
Shake our hips. OK.
That's one Bollywood move.
Shake our hips? Yeah.
OK. So, we do...
Hey, ya, yeah, ya.
Yeah, you've got it!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Yeah. That's it right there?
Yeah, you've got it.
Well, thank you so much.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) JESS: That was so good.
Listen, I think we would have a lot of fun
introducing different worlds and like meshing them together.
Yeah. Sounds good. Thank you so much, Jason.
Of course.
I love you.
I think you're just so glamorous...
Thank you. ..and I am also a huge fan,
not just for the culture, but I feel like your voice, your tone.
I didn't turn in the beginning
because I was thinking,
"OK, how is this song going to show off her vocal ability?"
But then when you gave me those scales at the end,
I was like, "There she is."
You know?
And that's when I knew, OK, this person is an artist.
Yeah.
So, I would love you to come on Team Rita.
Thank you so much for that. That was amazing.
Thank you, Rita.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You're just incredible.
I love that you incorporated
your culture and language.
I think that's just so wonderful to be able to experience,
and I guess, the only reason why I didn't turn
was I heard that you were a little bit shaky
and so I think that's kind of what, you know, what didn't cut it for me.
But, you know, you're going to be in great hands though.
Thank you. Great hands here.
(APPLAUSE)
It's - in all my time on The Voice,
that was the latest button-push.
Oh, my god.
Look, a great singer who has Indian influence,
to me, is great
because the scales are - they're so different
to any gospel or jazz scales...
Definitely.
..that most people who are in that genre know.
My mum being Indian, I grew up on Bollywood movies.
I only know one Hindi song,
but I honestly would be honoured to have you on my team.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you, Guy.
Who's it going to be? Let's break...
(CHEERING)
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
(CHEERING)
This is hard. (LAUGHS)
Thank you so much
to all of you that turned.
You are all amazing artists.
(CHEERING)
Obviously, I can go with one only,
but the coach that I would like to go for...
..is Jason.
(UPBEAT MUSIC) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, yeah!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Alright!
Oh, my goodness.
Well, welcome. Welcome to Team Jason.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Do you mind - can we go meet the family?
Yeah, of course!
GUY: It was the hips, wasn't it? (LAUGHS)
It was the hips!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Alright!
Oh, my goodness. She is incredible.
She killed it and it's going to be a pleasure.
It's so nice to meet you all.
Very beautiful family, by the way.
I'll see you guys very soon. Yes? Thank you so much.
Alright, darling. Congratulations again.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, Jason.
There we go, Charlette!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thank you, guys.
Yeah!
You're covering all the genres. Yeah.
You are really making the most of Australia.
You're just like taking it all in.
Yeah, everything is here, right?
Yeah, I know. Just all styles.
Your team's fun.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
It's going to stretch me, too, which I think is good.
PRODUCER: Spinning!
AUDIENCE: Spinning!
JASON: I've got to say, I didn't expect to come here
and have the diversity that I have.
That was five for Team Jason.
Only got seven to go.
NARRATOR: Still to come...
(SINGING)
Yeah!
..an incredible artist gets the coaches on their feet.
We were waiting for something like you.
That was funky!
# This is The Voice! #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Let's go, girls.
The way I warm up before a performance is
I like a...
# Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma. #
A classic.
I call this warm-up, the fire truck.
(HIGH-PITCHED) Sing!
(LIP TRILL)
I scare people on the train a lot with my warming up.
(TRILLS TONGUE)
(HORROR MOVIE SCREAM)
To warm up, I love to have a bit of a dance.
Oh, you know, just like a little bit of this.
Sometimes I'm kind of grooving a little bit harder.
It really just depends on how I'm feeling, yeah.
# Oh, oh, oh
# Can you get it without...
I have fallen in love with funk bands.
The types of artists that I'm interested in
aren't necessarily artists
that a white ginger would usually sing.
Like, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder,
people who play keyboard and sing soul music.
Soul powered funk music is what I'm all about.
# Believe you, baby...
I'm Dillon Rhodes and I am 33.
(UPBEAT FUNK MUSIC)
Basically, I left high school
and I really wanted to become a musician, a singer,
so I ventured out and have just been playing covers gigs my whole life.
You know, got to pay the bills.
I've spent so long looking to fulfil life as a full-time musician
but I feel like I'm really stuck in a rut.
This is The Voice.
Everybody is really, really good.
I have got to bring this to the next level.
I've got to sing high, I've got to sing more passionately.
Prince, James Brown, these guys know how to move,
and more importantly, they know how to get the crowd interacting.
I'm going to try my best to get the crowd involved.
I want them to feel the energy that, you know, I'm trying to get across.
I'm a different singer to most.
I hope that that'll be enough.
But the coaches are not going to be looking at me.
I'm worried that they're not going to be able to see
my high-energy performance
and really relying on my voice to make this work.
(SILENCE)
I hear heels.
# Hey...
Oh, come on!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Once I was a boogie singer...
Oh!
# Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
# Never had no problems...
Come on!
# Burning down the one-night stands
# Yeah, they were dancing and singing...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # And moving to the grooving
# And just when it hit me
# Somebody turned around and shouted
# Play that funky music, white boy...
Sing it with me! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Play that funky music right
# Play that funky music, white boy...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you...
Wait a minute!
Come on!
# Play that funky music...
Sing it! # Funky music
# Play that funky music...
# Oh, yeah, oh...
# Oh...
Whoo!
Come on!
# I got to keep on playing the funky music
# Play that funky music, white boy
# Lay down and boogie and play that funky music 'til you
# Die! #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Yeah!
Yes! Oh, my goodness.
We were waiting...
We were waiting for something like you.
We were literally...
We were out the back talking about, we want something funky.
We want something to dance to! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
We want some hip thrusting, we want some shaking!
Yeah. Yeah, we did say that.
We want to see some funk. Oh!
There's been so many ballads.
What's your name?
My name is Dillon.
I'm from Auckland, New Zealand, and I'm 33 years old.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
(LAUGHS)
That was funky!
I absolutely loved it!
I mean, it was just vibrant.
We were all, like... (CHUCKLES)
You gave us exactly what we wanted.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Tell me your story.
Like, how long have you been performing?
I'm 33. Been playing covers for a long time.
The weddings I'm playing on the weekends,
I'm now older than the bride and groom.
(LAUGHTER)
I don't feel old but it's time to give it that real effort
and I think this is the last opportunity.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
The thing I loved about that performance
is I just to see you emanating a lot of joy and feel-good
and you're a dancefloor artist.
It's almost like a modern disco kind of vibe.
The canvas is there, you're a great performer, you've got a great voice.
It's about how you stick out.
Whoever you choose, you need to tell them what that means to you.
What sort of artist.
"This is who I want to emulate and be like."
"Or this is the sort of thing I want to go for,"
"this is how I want my audience to feel."
"This is what I want to say."
And so, that is really up to you.
Cool, thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I want you on my team.
Your range is crazy, man. Geez!
Oh, thank you.
It doesn't end, huh?
(LAUGHTER)
And you're a performer as well.
I love that.
I haven't seen that kind of performer yet on this show,
so I think, yeah, you're the best performer that I've seen.
So good. Yeah.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you.
I'd love to have you as a part of my team.
You have a tremendous gift, man,
and I would love to see what else you can do, you know,
'cause you definitely are funky and you've got soul,
you've got the whole nine yards,
so I'm curious to see what else you've got in your back pocket, man.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Man, you are just so funky!
And you know what, so unique.
You went from, you know, stank...
Yeah, "Ow!" ...and then you went, "Oh!"
you know, you really took it there and that just - oh!
That just put fire in my soul and I love that.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Oh, thank you, Jess.
(LAUGHTER)
We haven't seen anything like you on this show, to be honest,
and that's true honesty.
That's truth, telling you.
I want you on my team.
I need you on my team.
I would love to have you on Team Jess.
That's it. That's all.
I'm speechless.
There's nothing else I can say.
Thank you.
Let's choose, hey?
Oh!
You shook...
(CHEERING) What do you think?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on! Everyone, hold fire!
This is hard work.
I didn't even pitch, really. But I don't think you...
Oh, go on then. If you feel like it.
No, but I don't know if you really want me to
because you know me and you will just get on like a house on fire.
Oh, sorry, Rita. I thought you'd pitched.
No, no, we'll get on really well. We would get on really well.
I've got a lot of knowledge in music
and I do do my version of that stuff,
you know, I love pop music.
I also love soul and funk
and I don't think that's all you'd be though.
I created a soul record,
so you know, I mean, I know about soul.
Oh, that's all great, but you know,
performing is my thing,
singing and dancing, you know, that's where I thrive,
you know, and I think we could do a lot of fun things.
We're fighting for you. We all want you.
So, what's it going to be? I wear flares as well.
Guys, thank you so much for trying to pick,
but I'm going to go with Jess.
Yes!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (SQUEALS)
Yes!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) My god, I'm so excited.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (LAUGHS)
You're so freaking cool, I love it. Oh, thank you.
No, I can feel your soul and your spirit.
I can't wait to do amazing things.
Oh, you're great!
(LAUGHTER)
Well, bye then.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) He's off.
Bye!
Look, I'm on fire.
I'm back in the game.
Team Jess is ready. Let's go.
Boom!
NARRATOR: Next...
WOMAN: I really want to be a singer so desperately.
I really do.
NARRATOR: From the chicken shop to The Voice stage.
WOMAN: I don't know
if I'm going to be able to even open my mouth up to sing,
let alone sound good.
NARRATOR: Can this shy artist find the right note?
I'm absolutely terrified.
# This is The Voice! #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
SONIA: Do you want the chance to sing on the biggest stage in Australia?
Auditions for The Voice are now open.
Check the details on your screen
for your chance to turn one of our coaches' chairs.
Oh!
This is what life is about, ladies and gentlemen!
My name is Maree Mamalis.
I'm 17 years old and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria.
# Hello...
I work at a local chicken shop, serving customers,
putting through sales, working front of house,
all that sort of stuff.
I really love it, but I really want to be a singer so desperately.
I really do.
# Can you hear me say hello...
I was bullied at school for being a singer and loving music.
I would come home from school crying a lot
because of something that someone's said.
# Look me in the eye...
I had no confidence.
The only place I was able to sing was in my own home.
I would sing so quietly
because I was so scared for my family to even hear me.
# My destiny...
My blind audition is so important to me
because I can show the people who have bullied me
and made me feel like singing isn't worth my time,
that I really don't need them and I'm better off without them.
# That's all my destiny...
(SILENCE)
She's beautiful. Thank you.
# Take me to the rooftop...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # I wanna see
# The world when I stop breathing...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # Turning blue...
Whoo!
# Sorry, can't save you now
# Sorry...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # I don't know how...
Yes!
# Sorry, there's no way out
# But down
# Ooh, down, down, down, down...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # If you need me
# You wanna see me
# You'd better hurry
# 'Cause I'm leaving soon
# Sorry
# There's no way out...
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# But down. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Whoo!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
GUY: Oh, my goodness!
Yeah!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
She did it! She did it!
What on earth just happened?
(LAUGHTER)
You look so sweet.
(LAUGHTER)
And then that thing comes out of you that is so big and strong.
What's your name? Maree.
My name is Maree. I'm 17 and I'm from Melbourne.
You're 17? Wow!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
So, when I was coming here,
I was promised that there's going to be, you know,
amazing talent in Australia and you're going to be blown away,
and I have been blown away so early in the show
and I think you are a shining light...
Thank you.
..that needs to be shown all over the world.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
And I'd just love to be a part of that journey.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I just have to say, technically,
going for those big notes is so difficult
and I could see how much you had to really push, in a good way,
to get that out.
Just having the courage to do that,
that is what sets
incredible audition apart from a safe one.
You threw everything at that.
You left nothing behind.
Thank you. Thank you so much. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Look, Maree, I'm not going to tell you anything.
You know, I think you're an incredibly gifted person.
Thank you. You've got four chair turns.
Obviously, I would love you to be on my team.
I've had some incredible female singers,
you know, Bella was unbelievable...
(LAUGHTER)
..and I'll leave it to you to decide.
You are ruthless!
(APPLAUSE) Hi, Maree.
There's no doubt you are absolutely immaculate.
Your voice, your range is beyond
and of course I would love for you to be on Team Jess
and would really love to know a little bit more.
I mean, why The Voice?
I've always loved music from a young age.
I started off with piano.
I always wanted to be a singer
but I was too scared and embarrassed and insecure
because I've always been bullied in school for being a singer
or just loving music.
So, being able to just work up the confidence
to just be here really means a lot to me
and it's just such a full-circle moment.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You're going to make me get all emotional.
You know, we've all been there before
and all the bullying that's happened to you,
I think that's made you come to this point
and stand in front
of all those faces that talked you down
or made you doubt yourself,
but the beauty of that is that it pushes you,
it gives you clarity on who you are,
where you're meant to be and what you're looking forward to.
Yeah. That is the key.
You look forward and that's what's brought you today.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Man, I hate bullies.
Like what?
I feel like bullies are actually just insecure people
that are actually jealous because you can sing and they can't
and that's the god's honest truth.
I hate that. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Or they tell you, you couldn't do it.
Yeah. That you weren't good enough.
Yeah.
Audience, can she do it?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
And is she good enough?
Oh, yeah.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Because Maree, it won't stop.
Because that's just life
and what lesson we all have to learn,
which is a constant lesson,
is how much energy we give to those people.
You can have an audience cheering for you,
but it's those words of people that don't love you,
that don't care about you, that we focus on,
and trust me, it's an ongoing thing, even when you get older.
Even as old as me and...
(LAUGHTER)
So, I would say to you, you did it,
you are obviously amazing.
Obviously, I would love you to be on my team.
RITA: Whoa!
Oh!
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
# This is The Voice! #
Obviously, I would love you to be on my team.
RITA: Whoa!
Oh!
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK) (CHEERING)
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
You just did that?
(LAUGHTER)
Wow! Wow!
(LAUGHS) It's all good.
Jason's done that 'cause he's fighting. Alright.
Man, that felt good! But you know what?
Would she have gone with Guy? Yeah.
She would have gone with Guy? Yeah.
Maree, I've been blocked... But look, I want to just say...
..just FYI, which really sucks.
I know, so he doesn't matter anymore.
(LAUGHTER)
So, basically, I just want to say that, like, I turned around first.
Alright, not that it means anything, but it kind of does,
and I also won the last season.
Not that it means anything, but it kind of does.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
You just killed that audition, honey.
Thank you. You really did.
Thank you.
Listen, when you hit that high note, I was like, "Whoa."
And then you went higher.
You know what moment I'm talking about, right?
I was like, "Whoa! She went there!"
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I believe that song,
it's not even kind of how it sounds.
Like, Billie Eilish song. Like, I love that song.
Yeah. Like, you twisted it
and you made it your own like artistically,
that's really impressive. Thank you.
Was that your idea?
Yeah, yeah. See what I'm saying?
We already... Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
That's what you need to stand out on a show like this.
You know, you have to make it your own,
so I'd love to have you on my team.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Also, just quickly, I know that it's kind of nerve-wracking
whilst you're singing to see like a chair turn
and it can kind of throw you off your game a bit,
and I did hear a bit of that nerve, but even if I heard that,
you just went straight back on,
so your survival ability... Jason...
..I can already see, is really strong
and, you know... She's trying to connect.
Shut up, guys. (LAUGHTER)
Maree, Maree, can I just say,
you are absolutely creative
and I think... I said that already!
I'm just saying it again. (LAUGHTER)
You just know what you want and that's really...
I feel another block coming on.
Please don't do that.
OK. Let's not go too hard.
(APPLAUSE)
Maree, I am through and through such a fan.
I think if you've come
onto Team Jason,
we can have a lot of fun just telling your story
and just taking you and becoming the biggest artist in the world.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thank you.
What do you want to do, Maree?
'Cause I feel like you've got a couple of good options here.
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK) Um...
(CHEERING)
I think I'm...
(CHUCKLES)
This is so overwhelming.
Um...
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you all so much for the kind words.
I truly appreciate all of you guys so much.
But I think I'm going to go with...
..Jason.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
RITA: What?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) GUY: Wow!
I cannot wait to have so much fun.
This is going to be incredible!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I have a gift for you. That's so sick.
(LAUGHS) Thank you so much.
Well done, Maree!
GUY: Well done!
You did great. What a voice.
My pleasure.
Well done.
I'm so proud of you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Wow! We tried.
It's alright, we tried. We tried.
Told you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
So proud of you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Well done, Jason.
Thank you, thank you. Well done.
I'm going to congratulate you
and the fact she chose you,
I think when someone uses a block...
It's really like fight... ..the artists are like, "Oh, he..."
..fight talk, fight talk. Yeah.
"He wanted me that much." "He really wanted it." Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but you did, you got a good one. She's great.
You tried hard. I mean, you dressed like a Logie,
you really put in a good... I know! Thank you.
Well, I'd like to think Oscar, but I'll take it.
(LAUGHTER) OK, yeah.
Yes, yes. No, you pitched hard.
No, I did. I thought you had that.
Your mum said you were going to sing his name.
Can you sing it for me?
Go.
(SINGING) # Jason Derulo. #
(LAUGHS)
You have to do that every time you see him.
Absolutely. (LAUGHTER)
Now, you've got no blocks left.
JASON: I've got zero blocks.
(MISCHIEVOUS CHUCKLE)
(JASON LAUGHS)
