WOMAN: # I am the fire #
# Burning #
MALE ANNOUNCER: After the showstopping blind auditions.
# Burning #
Our coaches have 48
amazing artists.
# I am the flame #
But now...
..they must face...
..the callbacks.
RITA: This next round, there is no room for error.
Our coaches must cut their teams in half.
GUY: These performances have to be really special
because it is 12 down to 6.
MALE ANNOUNCER: The artists will fight for their lives
in groups of three.
(VARIOUS VOCALISING)
WOMAN: The competition with the three singers
is just ridiculous.
(OPERATIC VOCALISING)
Whoo!
I need to see them fight for their place on my team.
And only six artists will make it through to the battle.
JESS: Wow, wow, wow.
That was the best callback I have ever seen.
Artists will be pushed to the limit.
GUY: The whole point of callbacks is to go to another level.
I just don't think it's enough.
The coaches will face impossible decisions.
This is a lot.
Sorry.
I just need to, like,
I just need a minute to myself, if you don't mind.
I just can't do it right-- I just need a couple minutes, guys.

SONIA: Tonight Australia's newest vocal Discoveries
will fight it out for Voice victory.
Impress - and they'll go straight through to the battles.
Fail to shine and they'll be saying a sad goodbye.
But for some lucky artists they'll get a lifeline -
a final chance to wow their coach at the ultimate callbacks.
Australia Welcome to the super-sized Voice arena.
These are the callbacks!
(CHEERING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Say hello to our superstar coaches, Guy Sebastian.
(CHEERING)
Jess Mauboy.
(CHEERING)
Jason Derulo.
(CHEERING)
And Rita Ora.
(CHEERING)
Well, our first three artists are anxiously waiting backstage.
It's time to kick off the callbacks with Team Guys.
Whoo!
(CHEERING)
Hello, Team Guy.
BELLA: The vibe in there is just electric.
It's so crazy to just see him there.
Welcome to the callbacks.
My job as a coach,
as a mentor,
is to make sure you guys
are the best versions of yourselves.
It's about making these performances special,
and these performances have to be really special
because it is 12 down to 6.
It's always hard cutting my team in half,
but in particular this year
it's the strongest team I've ever had.
Now I've split all of you guys
into four different groups of three artists.
The first group is Libby.
Michaela.
And Marley.
Guy has paired me with two
incredible singers,
Michaela and Marley.
And oh, my gosh, they have
the most beautiful voices ever.
Technically, you guys are in the upper echelon
of my most technical singers I've had on The Voice.
(VOCALISING)
MICHAELA: I've got two beautiful kids.
They're so gorgeous.
But it has been really hard
to juggle with my gigs.
# ..have you. #
And so I got into this rut of being the backing vocalist.
(VOCALISING)
I know it's important for me
to be my own artist.
# She's a maniac #
# Maniac #
# On the floor #
I live on a little farm out in Jilliby.
I love to feed the chickens,
but I'm always thinking about music.
And my dream is just to be singing
and playing all the time.
# She's a maniac #
# Maniac #
# On the floor. #
# There's a ribbon in the sky #
My name is Marley.
I'm actually named after Bob Marley.
(VOCALISING)
Love Bob Marley.
Raised on his music.
# There's a ribbon in the sky #
Guy Sebastian.
He's one of my favourite singers of all time.
He's probably one of the people that's taught me
how to sing just by listening.
(VOCALISING)
Your theme is particularly tough
because it's by, I would say,
the best female singer that's ever lived.
Here we go.
Aretha Franklin.
Nice. Amazing.
Michaela. you are my all natural woman.
Oh!
So...
that's the song that you're going to sing.
There's definitely so much pressure
that I've never experienced before in my career.
I think for me, my approach is to try and tell
the story of the song
in a way that feels like it's mine.
Libby...
I've chosen 'Say A Little Prayer'.
I'm going to switch up the song
and do a little bit of a more acoustic style
just to make it more Libby than Aretha.
Bit more Chill.
Marley...
Aretha Franklin did a version of this song...
'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Wow. Oh, yeah.
Yeah I guess the way I'm going to sing this song
will be a lot of emotion.
I think with you guys, it's really about honing in
on making the listener at home feel something...
Yeah. ..really feel something.
# On the road you got me hiding like an outlaw #
# You got a find some form of way to come and find me #
For this group,
I feel like, great,
we know you can do these things with your voice.
Now, how can you break my heart?
if you can move me and move my heart during a performance,
then that's the winner for me out of this group.
If I went straight through to the battles,
yeah, it'd be amazing.
I'm going to give it
everything I have.
I want to stay at The Voice because I love singing.
It's my thing.
I don't want to go home.
This is getting serious now.
Everything has to be, like your best.
SONIA: Singing some of the greatest songs
by soul queen Aretha Franklin...
It's Michaela Jayde.
Marley Sola.
And Libby Worboys.
(CHEERING)
The callback starts now.
# Looking out on the morning rain #
(CHEERING)
# I used to feel so uninspired #
# Before the day I met you #
# Life was so unkind #
# But you're the key #
# To my piece of mind #
Oww! # 'Cause you make me feel #
Oww! # You make me feel #
Yeah.
# You make me feel
like a natural woman, woman #
(VOCALISING)
# You make me feel #
# And I feel like
a natural woman #
(VOCALISING)
(CHEERING)
Yeah. Yeah!
Great singing. Nice.
Go Libby.
# The moment I wake up #
(CHEERING)
# Before I put on my makeup #
# I say a little prayer for you #
(CHEERING)
# While combing my hair now #
# I'm wondering what just to wear now #
(CHEERING)
# I say a little prayer for you #
# Forever and ever #
# You'll stay in my heart
and I will love you #
# Forever and ever #
# We never will part, oh, how I love you #
# Together forever #
# That's how it must be #
# To live without you #
# Would only mean heartbreak for me #
# For me. #
(CHEERING)
Oooh.
Great job.
That was fire.
That was crazy.
Well done Libby
# When you walk #
(CHEERING)
# You're walking through a storm #
JESS: Oh my god!
# You hold your head up...
JASON: Yeah.
# You hold your head up high #
# You walk on #
JASON: Oh, yeah!
Whoo!
# You'll never
walk... # (JESS YELLS)
# Alone. #
(CHEERING)
Beautiful singing.
RITA: Damn.
SONIA: Some incredible vocalists
on Team Guy.
Give it up for
Marley, Michaela and Libby.
Oh, Guy.
In a minute, you will be sending
one of these artists
straight through to the battle round.
One straight home
and one to an ultimate callback
for another chance to stay in the competition.
First, though, let's hear from the other coaches
and see what they think.
Jess, if you were Guy, what would you do?
Wow.
First of all, wow, wow, wow.
(CHEERING)
Marley... Yo, man.
What is with those runs?
You're phenomenal.
There's no doubt there.
How you just commanded that was just an experience.
Thank you for giving that igniting performance.
(CHEERING)
RITA: That was crazy.
Michaela I completely love your energy.
You do have that honey tone.
It's so warm.
I feel like I'm being hugged when I hear you sing.
Like smoky and sexy and pure.
And I could tell you put a lot of work into that.
So congratulations.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Well, Guy,
we need a decision.
Who are you going to send straight through to the battle?
Uhh. (LAUGHS)
Libby. My gosh.
Do you have the toughest job?
Because it is a really playful song and a really happy song,
and you gave it this other layer
and stripped it back and your falsetto.
That is really hard to do, but you showed control
and poise and maturity.
(CHEERING)
OK, Michaela,
your voice,
it's like smoked honey,
There's this... I like it.
There's this raspy,
beautiful quality to it. Thank you.
Marley, you did your thing.
I know you can do all of that,
and you did it flawlessly.
(CHEERING)
So the artist I'm going to be
taking straight to the battle round...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's going to have to be Marley.
(CHEERING)
Thank you so much, Guy.
Molly goes through
straight to the battles.
Well done. That was really great.
Really great.
My gosh.
So Michaela and Libby,
one of you is about to leave the competition.
The other will get a lifeline.
Guy, it's time to decide
who you will be sending through
to perform again at the ultimate callback.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Wow. OK.
(EXHALES)
The artist I'll be sending through to the ultimate callback tonight
is...
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
Guy, it's time to decide
who you will be sending through
to perform again
at the ultimate callback.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Wow. OK.
(EXHALES)
The artist I'll be sending through
to the ultimate callback tonight
is...
Michaela.
(CHEERING)
Put your hands together for Michaela everyone.
She is going to perform again at the ultimate callback.
Well done.
Oh. Thank you, so much.
And that does mean that Libby is heading home.
Thank you so much.
So grateful for everything.
Put your hands together for Libby, everyone.
We've loved having you on the show Libby.
(APPLAUSE) Well done Libby.
Well done.
Next up, Team Jason.
(CHEERING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC) (CHEERING)
Whoo! MAN: Yeah.
Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
CALISTA: Hi!
JADE: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
ALEX: I'm standing in a room with Jason Derulo.
It's pretty crazy.
Loving the energy.
How y'all doing?
ALL: Good.
Man, we got the winning team here.
D'yall feel that energy? Sheesh.
Welcome to team Jason and welcome to the callbacks.
When I signed up for The Voice, I made a bold statement
that I would only turn my chair for an artist
that I thought could win.
And from what I see here,
I definitely kept that promise.
It really is so nice to see you
all here together.
But unfortunately,
it'll be the last.
There are 12 of you here,
but only six spots,
in the next phase for Team Jason.
that literally means half of you
standing here
will not make it through.
(MURMURING)
MAN: My heart just broke. MAN 2: Damn!
WOMAN: No...
MAREE: Knowing that I might be going home after this
is absolutely terrifying
because it's like,
"Oh my God, this is my only chance."
Like, you know, I have to do a good job.
So for the first group,
Maree, please come up.
Caitlyn...
..and...
..Calista.
CAITLYN: Marie and Calista
are really good singers so...
being up against them will be a challenge.
So I've grouped you all together
because you all have powerhouse voices.
# It's only when I... #
I was in the original cast
of a show called Showgirl.
# It's in the moments... #
When Covid hit, we lost our job,
our place to live.
Ending up homeless
really gave me the drive
to keep going with my music.
(VOCALISING)
# You'll know my name #
# Just one more thing before I go #
# Yeah! #
I still go to high school.
I'm in year 11 currently.
In class I'm always singing
because that's what I love to do.
# ..against the ropes #
# You better hurry #
I work at a local chicken shop.
(VOCALISES)
I really love it, but I really want to be a singer
so desperately.
(VOCALISES)
So I am pleased
to give you guys an array of songs
from one of my favourite artists
and a great friend of mine, Katy Perry.
Katy Perry is one of the biggest pop stars of all time.
But I'm really excited for these girls
because they have amazing voices,
so they really put in the work.
I think they can blow the roof off this thing.
OK, Callista, the song is called 'When I'm Gone'.
No, I don't know the song very well.
I know of it,
but I've never sang it.
So, it's going to be interesting to see what I can do with it.
Marie...
I chose 'Dark Horse'.
Oooh.
My only sort of concern is just in case
I don't really like tell the story.
And Caitlyn, this song is 'The One That Got Away'.
I think the song will be hard to connect to.
because it's about having a relationship
and that's something that I've never really experienced.
So listen, I think you guys are all really incredible.
Enjoy the moment.
Let people see the joy that you have for your gift.
WOMAN: # Into the fire #
(VOCALISING)
Sometimes people can sing AT you.
That is a real mistake for big belters.
And little mistakes will be the difference
between making it and going home.
# Wildfire #
CAITLYN: I want to impress Jason so much.
If he sends me through,
I'll be so ecstatic.
I want this so bad.
I am just going to have to give it
the best that I've got.
I'm competing up against two incredibly talented people.
You know, I really hope that this isn't the end of my Voice journey.
(CHEERING)
Whoo!
# ..to the fire. #
(CHEERING)
# I knew you were #
# You were gonna come to me #
# And here you are #
# You better choose carefully #
# I'm capable of anything #
# Of anything and everything #
# So you wanna play with magic? #
# Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for #
# Baby, do you dare to do this? #
# 'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse #
# Are you ready for, ready for #
Whoo!
# A perfect storm, perfect storm? #
# 'Cause once you're mine, once you're...
..mine #
# There's no going back #
(VOCALISES)
Whoo!
# Once...
..you're mine #
# There's no going back. #
Whoo! GUY: Wow.
(CHEERING) Yeah.
Solid.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
RITA: Wow. JESS: Wow.
(OVERLAPPING VOICES)
That was good.
Go Caitlyn.
# Summer after high school
when we first met #
# We make out in your Mustang
to Radiohead #
# And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos #
# In another life #
# I would be your girl #
# We keep all our promises #
# Be us against the world #
# In another life #
# I would make you stay #
# So I don't have to say #
# You were the one that got away #
# The one that got away. #
(CHEERING)
Yeah.
You can do this.
# When I'm gone,
I'm never really gone #
# You think you're moving on #
# But no one's gonna feel like,
feel like... #
# Thought it would be easy... JESS: Hey!
..easy to forget me #
# Let go of the memories #
# Ah, ah, ah, ah #
Whoo! # Now your bed is empty #
# And you're waking up sweating #
# I'm still in your wild dreams #
# Late night, calling me, calling me #
# So hard for you to let me go #
# When I'm gone, I'm never really gone #
# You think you're moving on #
# But it won't be for long #
JESS: Aye! CALSITA: # When I'm gone...
..I'm never really gone #
# You think you're moving on #
# But no one's gonna feel like, feel like #
# Me... #
(VOCALISES)
(SQUEALS)
# When I'm gone. # (CHEERING)
Whoo! JESS: Wow.
Yeah.
Whoo! Oh, man...
SONIA: Oh yeah,
You can make some more noise
Wow, wow, wow. for team Jason.
Maree. Wow.
Caitlyn and Calista.
Man. Wow.
GUY: Maree, I love singers
who just nail a note in the middle of the note.
It is just so in pitch and in tune.
You've got power...
and Calista, you've got power as well.
So I want to actually shout out
Caitlyn in the middle
because you're flanked by two very big voices.
You can so easily
try and be bigger
and change who you are.
But you didn't do that, Caitlyn.
(CHEERING)
Calista I mean, fresh out the gate,
perfection like zero to none.
It was-- not one thing was wrong with that performance.
It was fantastic.
Thank you. Yes.
SONIA: Jason who will you be sending
straight through to the battles?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Maree came out here and literally just blew this place up.
Thank you. Thank you.
Caitlyn... Your connection was beyond your years.
The way that you told the story was really exceptional.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Calista,
the confidence that you had on the stage,
that's what impressed me the most
because you looked like a star up there.
Thank you so much.
The artists that I'm putting through to the battles is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Maree.
(CHEERING)
Oh my God.
SONIA: Congratulations. Head on backstage.
We will see you next round for the battles.
Everyone, it's Maree.
(CHEERING)
Congratulations.
(LAUGHS)
GUY: Well done Maree.
Caitlyn and Calista,
Sadly, that does mean for one of you,
it will be the end of the line.
Jason, who will get your lifeline tonight
and sing again at the ultimate callback?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Ah...
I never thought this would be this hard.
This is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The artist that I've decided to send to the ultimate callback
I know has more to give.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
That artist is...
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The artist that I've decided to send to the ultimate callback
I know has more to give.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's Calista.
Calista, congratulations.
(CHEERING)
Ah... Congratulations.
Callista is going through to the ultimate callback.
We'll see her perform again.
Oh, Caitlyn... Don't get upset, my love.
Caitlyn, you are so, so good.
I've loved performing in front of you guys.
It's been such an amazing experience.
Put your hands together for Caitlyn, everyone.
Next up, Rita's team takes the stage.
(CHEERING)
Oh, my goody gosh.
Welcome to the callbacks.
Congratulations.
You guys made it - the best of the bunch,
in my opinion.
You are all extremely talented in your own way.
And I am so grateful you trusted me and chose me.
But this next round, there is no room for error.
So for my first group...
Nyree.
Ben...
and Cruize.
(SPEAKS LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
Kia Ora. How are you?
I'm definitely nervous about performing with them.
Cruize has just like, got this beautiful melodic voice
and Nyree's this insane powerhouse vocalist.
I've grouped you three together because it took guts
to get you guys on that stage for different reasons.
Thinking about getting on the Voice stage,
I am shitting myself.
WOMAN: You look panicked. Yeah I very am.
You're panicked. Just breathe. You need to just breathe.
(WHISPERS) Is he coming out?
# Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot #
# At the body shop, doing something unholy #
I need to go through this.
Music is the only thing
I've ever cared about.
(VOCALISES)
# Oh, I'm happy for you #
# Know that I am #
Being a mum definitely changes you.
I just have so much love for them.
They're my everything.
But now I feel is the time for me
to get back to who I am and what I want to do.
# I'm happy for you #
# The memory's there for me girl #
Back in 2018, I lost my sister,
# Made me into something new #
When she passed, I went to a really dark place.
And it was either do something stupid
or come here and do something more
and just make my sister proud.
I'm going to give you songs
from some of the greatest collaborations of all time.
Nyree the song I've chosen for you
is 'Bang Bang', Ariana Grande,
Jessie J, Nicki Minaj.
Wow.
Those notes that Jessie hits
in that song,
it's just next level.
So it's going to take a lot of practice.
Hopefully I can do it.
Ben.
'Lovely' by Billie Eilish...
I love that song.
..and Khalid. Thank you.
I feel like it's a powerful song.
Will I even be able to sing it?
I don't know.
I can always expect the anxiety,
but that's why I'm excited for this,
because I'm hoping I can move past that.
Cruizey. I'm nervous now.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah.
So I've chosen a song by Khalid and Benny Blanco.
It's called 'Eastside'.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely different from what I would normally do.
I'm normally kind of like the ballad guy,
so this is totally different for me.
Get to work.
I really can't wait to see what you do on that stage.
MAN: Let's really get behind these artists,
ladies and gentlemen.
If I made it straight to the battles,
I'd be over the moon.
Like a really want to be here.
I need to get further.
Like, at this point,
it would be such a shame to go home.
This is a moment that you wait for your whole life
where you only get one shot at it.
So you've got to make that shot.
NYREE: I feel like I've got so much more to give
in this competition.
I feel like I've got so much more growth to give as well.
I would be gutted
if I didn't get through. I'll be honest.
(CHEERING)
You got this Nyree.
# She got a body like an hourglass # Whoo.
# But I can give it to you all the time #
# She got a booty like a Cadillac #
# But I can send you
into overdrive, oh #
JESS: Wow. Yeah.
# You've been waiting for that #
# Step on up, swing your bat # Yeah.
# See, anybody could be good to you #
# You need a bad girl to blow your mind... #
# Bang-bang into the room #
# I know you want it #
# Bang-bang all over you #
# I'll let you have it #
# Just wait a minute, let me take you there #
# Wait a minute 'til you, oh yeah #
# Bang-bang, there goes your heart #
# I know you want it #
# Back-back seat of my car #
# I'll let you have it #
# Just wait a minute, let me take you there #
# Wait a minute 'til you... #
(CHEERING)
I love her voice. JESS: Oh!
Wow.
(CHEERING)
# Thought I found a way #
# Thought I found a way out #
# But you never go away #
# So I guess I gotta stay now #
# I hope some day #
# I'll make it...
..out of here #
# Even if it takes all night
or a hundred years #
# Isn't it lovely, all alone? #
# Heart made of glass,
my mind of stone #
# Tear me to pieces,
skin and bone #
# Hello, welcome home #
(VOCALISES)
# Home #
(CHEERING) GUY: Yeah, that was cool.
That was so Good.
It's cool, man.
They were both really cool.
# When I was young,
I fell in love #
# We used to hold hands, man,
that was enough #
# Every day she found a way
out of the window to sneak out late #
# She used to meet me on the Eastside #
# In the city where the sun don't set #
Hey.
# And every day you know that we ride #
# In the backseat in a blue Corvette #
# Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight #
# We can go anywhere you want #
# Drive down to the coast #
# Jump in the seat #
# Just take my hand come with me, oh #
# You can do anything if you put your mind to it #
# Take your whole life then you put a line through it #
Yeah.
# My love is yours if you're willing to take it #
# Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it #
# So come away, starting today #
# Start a new life, together in a different place #
# So baby, run away with me #
(CHEERING) Thank you.
SONIA: Team Rita, singing their hearts out.
Put your hands together for Nyree, Ben and Cruize.
(CHEERING)
Nyree.
You won this callback for me.
(CHEERING)
You came out and you owned it, sister.
And you really delivered an amazing vocal.
Ben,
It's disappointing
when if I close my eyes,
I can enjoy a performance.
But if I look at you, then I feel the discomfort that you're feeling.
This area right here, that's... That's not a superstar stance.
This was never-- would never be that.
I need you to stand there and own the stage
like you should because you have an amazing instrument.
Amazing instrument.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
Sure.
Rita, it is decision time.
Who are you sending straight through to the battles?
RITA: So Cruizey. That song is hard.
There's a lot of words in that song.
There's a lot of swag, the timing, all of that.
But you should be proud of that performance, Cruize,
Because it was really great.
Thank you. Thank you.
Nyree...
Bang, bang, baby.
You exploded on that stage.
Smashed it. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Ben, you've struggled with nerves since the blinds,
but...
despite that, your vocal
was still unbelievable.
So congratulations.
That's beautiful. Thank you.
The artist going through to the battle round is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's Nyree.
SONIA: Congratulations, Nyree.
Nyree is the winner of the callback.
She goes straight through to the battle.
Ohh, Rita.
The time has come.
Who will you be sending through
to the ultimate callback round?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
RITA: I'm just so torn for so many different reasons.
I know your potential.
I turned around for a reason, so this one's really tough.
But I do have to make a choice.
The artists will be sending to the ultimate callback is...
Ben.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Ben, you get to sing again.
RITA: Come on.
SONIA: Put your hands together for Ben.
He's going through to the ultimate callback.
(LAUGHTER)
RITA: I'm so happy for you.
SONIA: Unfortunately, Cruize,
your time in the competition
has come to an end.
Put your hands together one more time for Cruize.
RITA: It was fantastic.
This isn't the end. You know that.
You know that. OK.
Thank you so much. That was fantastic.
MALE ANNOUNCER: Coming up.
(VARIOUS VOCALISING)
The fight to stay in the competition intensifies.
The winner of this callback
will be the artist
who can bring out that inner beast.
MAN: So many things could go wrong.
Which artists will make it through to the battles?
It's like Clash of the Titans.
(LAUGHTER)
I'm gobsmacked.
I'm guessing everybody in here
is wondering what the hell I'm about to do.
SONIA: I have no idea how you are going
to make this decision.
RITA: What are you going to? JESS: What are you going to do?
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
JESS: This group that I've put together
is David, Sean and Dan.
I put them together because
they all have
heart and spirit.
Sean put every ounce of himself in his blind audition.
You could feel the passion and the fight in every word.
# I only see my goals #
# I don't believe in failure #
I have a rare disease called Hunter syndrome.
I've got limited lung capacity.
That's why singing's so powerful to me.
# Once I was twenty years old #
# Once I was seven years old #
(CHEERING)
Dan's gravelly tone is like no other.
# I fell into
a burning ring of fire #
# Burns, burns, burns #
He is a rare and unique talent
with an incredible gift.
# The ring of fire #
(CHEERING)
(LAUGHS)
David's audition had my jaw to the floor.
That vocal control, that raw emotion,
I couldn't let him slip through my fingers.
# And I believe #
Being a big bloke.
I was more embarrassed to show myself.
I just love that you've realised
how great you are.
# I believe #
(CHEERING)
MAN: # You can't fly this hurricane #
I was thinking that I would take songs that
they've already performed on their TikTok,
and I want them
to explore these songs
and make them their own.
MAN: # You and I, we're unstoppable #
SEAN: Jess has given me 'Bruises' by Lewis Capaldi.
Just asked me to sing
'Over the Rainbow'.
'Imagine' by John Lennon.
MAN: # You and I, we're unstoppable #
Kind of got me nervous.
This is a very big song.
SEAN: I really want to make Jess proud and show her the emotion
I can bring out
and the power in my voice.
It's a powerful, emotional song.
It demands respect
and I've got to connect with it.
MAN: # Unstoppable, unshakeable #
I need to see them
bring stage presence.
(CHEERING)
# Imagine there's no heaven #
(CHEERING)
# It's easy if you try #
# No hell below us #
# Above us, only sky #
# Imagine all the people #
# Livin' for today #
# You #
# You may say I'm a dreamer #
# Yeah #
# I hope someday you'll join us #
# And the world will live as one. #
(CHEERING)
Whoo!
(EXHALES)
# Counting days, counting days #
# Since my love up and got lost on me #
(CHEERING)
# And every breath that I've been takin' #
# Since you left feels like a waste on me #
# I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind #
# But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind #
# Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I need you by my side#
(CHEERING)
# There must be something in the water #
# 'Cause every day, it's getting colder #
# And if only I could hold you #
# You'd keep my head from going under #
# There must be something
in the water. #
(CHEERING)
GUY: Really good.
Whoo!
(CHEERING)
That was sick. Yeah. Crazy.
# Somewhere
over the rainbow #
# Way up high #
Oh wow. Oh.
(INAUDIBLE)
# There's a land
that I heard of #
# Once in a lullaby #
(CHEERING)
# Somewhere
over the rainbow #
# Skies are blue #
(CHEERING)
# And the dreams
that you dare to dream #
# Really do come true. #
Whoo! That's so cool.
(CHEERING) Wow man.
SONIA: Oh, show some love for David, Sean and Dan from Team Jess.
(CHEERING)
Jess,
a really tough call coming your way.
Rita, some big voices, some standouts here.
Who would you choose?
RITA: Yeah, you know, I think you all
contribute something different.
You know, David, you're technically, I think,
the strongest out of the three.
Sean I think your storytelling is the strongest out of the three.
And Dan, I think you're the most unique.
So, you know, for me, simply for the uniqueness
was Dan.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Jess, It's decision time.
Who are you sending
straight through to the battles?
(EXHALES)
This is really tough because I love you all.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Whoo!
Oh, my goodness. So...
(CHEERING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
So the artist that I'm putting through to the battles is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(EXHALES)
This is really tough
because I love you all.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Whoo!
Oh, my goodness. So...
So the artist that I'm putting through to the battles is...
It's you, David.
(CHEERING)
Oh.
DAVID: Oh, wow, thank you.
Thank you so much Jess.
SONIA: Congratulations to David, everyone.
You are in Jess's top six, heading straight to the battle.
OK.
Sean and Dan,
only one of you will receive a second shot.
Tell us who you will be sending through
to perform again at the ultimate callback.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Oh wow...
The artist that I'm sending through to the ultimate callback...
I'm giving a second chance...
To you Sean.
(CHEERING)
(GASPS)
Make some noise for Sean everyone.
(CHEERING)
Put your hands together for Dan, the man.
(MOUTHS)
Up next, the fierce competition continues
as Rita's team takes the stage.
(CHEERING)
WOMAN: # Attention #
# They don't need to know what happens in these... #
I've paired Elsa,
Gezel and Sihana...
..cause they're the youngest
on Team Rita.
My name is Gezel Bardossi.
I just turned 12.
My name is Sihana Haxhnikaj. I'm 16 years old.
I'm Elsa.
I'm 17.
I've given them songs
that are well before their time
because they're old souls.
Rita has given me 'Songbird' by Eva Cassidy.
Rita has given me 'Mercy' by Duffy.
The song that I will be singing
is 'Ain't No Sunshine'.
WOMAN: # Where do we go from here? #
WOMAN: # Where do we go..? #
I need to strip it back -
get the timing and the lyrics on point.
With this song, there needs to be
a huge emotional backing.
I've never heard 'Mercy' by Duffy,
so I'm really nervous.
WOMAN: # Into the unknown #
(CHEERING)
# Ain't no sunshine
when she's gone #
It's not warm when she's away #
# Oh, you... #
(CHEERING)
# The sun will be shining #
# 'Cause I feel that when I'm with you #
# It's alright... #
# I love you #
# But I gotta stay true #
# My morals got me on my knees #
# I'm begging, please,
stop playing games #
# You got me begging you for mercy #
# Why won't you release me? #
# You got me begging you for mercy #
# Why won't you release me? #
(CHEERING)
JASON: Whoo!
Woah.
The artist I have decided
to put through to the battle round is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
..Elsa.
(CHEERING)
The artist that I could really help
in the ultimate callback is...
It's Gezel.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Yes Gezel. Congratulations.
She's going through to sing again in the ultimate callbacks.
WOMAN: # Where do we go from here? #
Sihana, It does mean
we have to say goodbye to you.
Sihana everyone.
(CHEERING)
Coming up, find out who else
will be heading into battle as the callbacks continue.
That's next on The Voice.
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
JASON: Alex, Andrew and Charlette.
I grouped these three together
because they all are super unique.
MAN: # This flame is burning bright #
I happen to be classically trained,
so I know exactly
how hard it was for Andrew
to do what he did in the blind audition.
He killed it.
(SINGS IN LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
I was hoping to find a rock star on this show,
and Alex delivered that and more.
# ..some of us don't know why #
Whoo.
Charlette has an incredible ability to
marry two worlds together.
(SINGS IN LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
MAN: # Let's keep this fire burning #
ALEX: Jason has chosen 'Bed of Roses'.
Jason's chosen for me, 'Bring Him Home'
from Les Miserables.
The song that I'll be singing
is 'Levitating' by Dua Lipa.
The pressure singing Bon Jovi is...
..high.
MAN: # Let's keep this burning #
It's daunting. It's a big track.
I'm going to have to show off.
I'm pretty concerned about dancing
as well as just singing.
# This fire keeps burning bright #
The winner of this callback will be the artist
who can fully bring out that fire.
Bring out that inner beast.
(CHEERING)
Yeah.
(CHEERING)
Relaxed, very relaxed.
# Sitting here wasted and wounded #
# At this old piano #
(CHEERING)
# 'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head #
# And some blonde gave me nightmares #
# I Think that she's still in my bed #
GUY: Yeah.
# I want to lay you down
in a bed of roses #
# For tonight I'll sleep
on a bed of nails #
# Oh I want to be #
# Just as close as
the Holy Ghost is #
# Lay you down
on a bed of roses. #
(CHEERING) Yeah!
That's what I'm talkin' about baby!
# If you wanna run away with me,
I know a galaxy #
# And I can take you for a ride #
# I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm #
# Where the music don't stop for life #
# Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes #
# Shining just the way I like #
# If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company #
# You met me at the perfect time #
# You want me, I want you, baby #
# My sugarboo, I'm levitating #
# The Milky Way, we're renegading #
# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah #
(SINGS IN LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
# I'm levitating #
(CHEERING)
# I'm levitating. #
(CHEERING)
(JESS LAUGHS)
GUY: That was awesome.
# God on high #
(CHEERING)
# Hear my prayer #
# In my need #
# You have always been there #
# If I die #
# Let me die #
# Let him live #
# Bring him...
..home. #
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Give it up for Alex. Andrew and Charlette.
On team Jason.
All so different.
I have no idea how you are going to make this decision, Jason.
Is there an obvious winner out here?
Honestly, I'm... I'm gobsmacked.
Alex is rock. Andrew your opera.
Charlette. I mean, what was that? Surprise -
# Dance break #
Bom, bom, bom, bom. Taka-taka-ta.
I think we should start with
the boom, boom, boom, chucka chucka chicka boom.
Charlette, again ah,
you shocked me.
It was a dance pop phenomenon, you know?
It was just like a perfect clash of worlds.
Thank you so much, Jason.
So, Alex, you are the ultimate
power ballad singer
and I mean emphasis on power.
Not only were you delivering rock,
but you delivered technically a perfect vocal bro.
So congratulations.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Andrew,
I feel like the vocal was amazing as usual.
You can sing better than almost anyone.
Thank you, Jason. For sure.
(CHEERING)
OK, now comes the hard part.
RITA: What are you going to? JESS: What are you going to do?
Oh my goodness.
(CHEERING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The artist that I'm putting through
to the battle round is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
..Andrew.
(CHEERING)
Thank you Jason. SONIA: Andrew..
Congratulations.
Well done.
Beautiful bro. Well done.
So, Alex and Charlette, only one of you
will be staying in the competition.
Who's it going to be Jason?
So the artist that I'll be sending
to the ultimate callback is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
..Alex.
(CHEERING)
You did it, Alex.
Oh, I'm shocked. Wow.
Go and join the rest of the team.
(CHEERING)
Put your hands together everyone, for Charlette.
Next up, it's time for Jess to make the tough decisions.
The Voice callbacks continue after this.
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
JESS: I put Giaan,
The Bushwhackers
and Tiarose together
because they each individually
have a unique vocal.
WOMAN: # Standing in the centre
of the sun #
I've given them songs
by Aussie icons.
# Hold on, hold on #
The song Jess gave me
was 'Run to Paradise'.
# You were made for this #
TIAROSE: 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'
by Olivia Newton-John.
# Hold on... #
We got given 'Solid Rock' by Goanna.
# You were made for this #
It's an honour,
but a challenge as well.
The winner of this callback
will be the artist
who really gives their all.
My biggest struggle with this song
is the connection.
My biggest concerns about this performance
are my stage presence.
I'm looking for heart and spirit.
# Made for... made for this #
(CHEERING)
# ..there's nowhere to hide #
# Since you pushed my love aside #
# I'm outta my head #
# Hopelessly devoted to you #
# Whooo. #
# ..solid rock #
# Standin' on sacred ground #
# Livin' on borrowed time #
# And the winds of change #
# Are blowin' down the line. #
# You don't want anyone #
# Don't tell me,
that this is paradise #
# Good times. #
(CHEERING)
GUY: Whoo! JESS: Whoo!
JASON: Whoa!
The artist that I'm putting through
to the battle rounds is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Giann. It has to be you.
(CHEERING)
Going through the ultimate callback on my team is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Roger and Dobe. It's The Bushwhackers.
Oh! (CHEERING)
Congratulations, Roger and Jobe.
You'll be fighting it out in the ultimate callback.
Sadly, that does mean Tiarose,
you are leaving the competition.
Put your hands together, everyone, for Tiarose.
Next up, it's time for Guy to make the tough decisions.
(CHEERING)
I've grouped Jackson, Bella and Robbie together
because for me, these three artists are at
different stages
of their musical life.
MAN: # I've walked through
the valley of shadow #
We've got Bella
who is really polished.
She's like a record label's dream.
All of the essentials are there.
She's ready.
# Sometimes I feel like everybody
is a sexy baby # # ..is a sexy baby #
# Rooting for the anti-hero #
# For the anti-hero. #
Robbie is a TikTok performer,
and it takes a lot of courage to translate that
to a live stage
and really nail it with a live audience.
# Even after all, it still wrecks me #
# To find out you know how
to forget me #
# Even after all this time #
I always need a rough diamond
in my team.
Someone who can improve,
someone who has the potential
to grow.
And that is Jackson for me.
# She told me that I'm not not enough #
# And she left me
with a broken heart #
(VOCALISES)
# I fall apart #
MAN: # Ready #
# Are you ready for me? #
The theme I've chosen for these artists
is Miley Cyrus.
# I'm ready #
# As I ever gonna be #
Guy gave me 'Slide Away'.
Miley Cyrus, 'Flowers' for me.
# Ready for me? #
ROBBIE: 'Wrecking Ball' by Miley Cyrus.
MAN: # Are you ready for me? #
All of these three artists
need to show me authenticity.
It's something that is
really hard to teach.
# I need to know are you... #
I'm not that familiar with it.
I've heard it a few times on the radio,
and when I heard that I got it,
I was like, "OK,
"that's going to be a challenge."
Having Miley as a theme
is definitely more catered to me.
But I also have that challenge
of trying to make it my own.
# I'm ready #
ROBBIE: It's mainly a female song
and just the range of it all.
So many things could go wrong. (LAUGHS)
MAN: # I'm ready #
# For the light to shine #
# On me #
Taking a song by such a strong artist
and then making it your own.
That's a tough ask.
# Are you ready? #
(CHEERING) # Are you ready for me? #
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(CHEERING)
Let the callback begin.
# We were good, we were gold #
# Kinda dream that can't be sold #
# We were right 'til we weren't #
# Built a home and watched it burn #
Sick.
# I don't wanna leave you #
# I didn't wanna lie #
# Started to cry,
but then remembered I #
# I can buy myself flowers #
# Write my name in the sand #
# Talk to myself for hours #
Wow. Yeah.
# Say things you don't understand #
# I can take myself dancing #
# And I can hold my own hand #
# Yeah, I can love me better
than you can. #
Hey! (CHEERING)
JASON: Good job.
Great job.
Well done.
# Once upon a time, it was paradise #
# Once upon a time, I was paralyzed #
# Think I'm gonna miss these harbour lights #
# But it's time to let it go #
# Once upon a time, it was made for us #
# Woke up one day, it had turned to dust #
JESS: Wow! Yeah.
# Baby, we were found, but now we're lost #
# So it's time to let it go #
Hey.
# I want my house in the hills #
# But I don't think I'm down #
# So won't you slide away #
# Back to the ocean #
# I'll go back to the city lights #
# Back to the ocean #
# la la la, you'll slide away #
# Back to the ocean #
# La la la, you'll slide away. #
JESS: Oh my goodness.
(CHEERING) Oh my goodness.
Man, that was fab. Great!
Whoo. Wow.
(CHEERING)
# We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain #
# We jumped, never asking why #
# Don't you ever say
I just walked away #
# I will always want you #
# I came in like a wrecking ball #
# I never hit so hard in love #
# All I wanted was to break your walls #
# All you ever did was wreck me #
# I came in like a wrecking ball #
# Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung #
Yeah, that's better.
# All I wanted was to break your walls #
# All you ever did was wreck me. #
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Beautiful work there from Team Guy -
Jackson, Bella and Robbie.
It's just great to see the three of you guys
nail all of those performances.
(CHEERING)
JESS: I agree with you, Guy.
just nailed all the performances.
I mean, Jackson, such power in your vocal.
Thank you.
Bella...
You know who you are as a performer.
And what got me at the end of your performance
was like that cheeky smile.
It's like, "I had that".
The conviction in that and your performance.
Amazing. Thank you.
Thank you.
JESS: And Robbie,
I could really feel that connection in that performance.
I mean, well done. Thank you so very much.
Thank you.
Jason, is there an obvious winner for you?
There is, actually -
I mean, Bella, you're just ready to go.
I think, you know, you need to start thinking about
what the album is going to be called
and what the tour is going to be called,
because I didn't feel like I wanted to critique you
or wanted to find something wrong.
I just wanted to join the party.
Thank you so much.
SONIA: Well, Guy, who are you sending
straight through to the battle?
(CHEERING)
To me, it's pretty obvious who I can't lose on Team Guy.
The other bit's not quite so obvious.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The artist that I'm sending
straight through to the battle round is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Bella.
Congratulations, Bella.
(CHEERING)
Head on backstage, Bella.
We will see you in the battle ring.
Can't wait for that. That's going to be awesome.
Guy, the decision lies with you.
Who do you want to see more from at the ultimate callback?
This one hurts 'cause you've both done what I asked of you.
Jackson. I'm so proud of you, dude.
Like, you really nailed that.
(CHEERING)
And then, Robbie, I know what you're capable of.
And I know the battle rounds are tough.
(CHEERING)
The artists I'm going to be taking through
the ultimate callback for a lifeline...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's you, Robbie.
(CHEERING)
Put your hands together for Robbie everyone,
who IS going through to the ultimate callback.
Put your hands together for Jackson.
(CHEERING)
Round one of the callbacks is done.
We'll see you next time, Australia.
Good night.
