live and on demand on
live and on demand on 7plus,
MALE ANNOUNCER: Tonight on The Voice...
..The battles begin.
These artists may have
made it through
the blinds and callbacks,
but now they will go head to head.
(LAUGHTER)
# Hey # Oh, my god.
Welcome, lads. (LAUGHTER)
Man... I knew it.
They'll sing the same song, but only one
will walk away a winner.
How hard do you think this decision is going to be for me?
They're not going to know what hit them.
I want them to throw technicality
out the window and make it
all about heart.
I'm not asking you to start like popping and locking
and stuff and doing some
Jason Derulo moves.
(LAUGHTER) Damn.
(VOCALISING)
MALE ANNOUNCER: They will take to the super-sized
Voice battles arena.
I feel like we were in the Colosseum.
That was unbelievable.
Yeah!
(VARIOUS VOCALISING)
You cannot play it safe
in the battles.
(VARIOUS VOCALISING)
Think you both are incredible artists
and need to be heard by the entire world.
The semifinals are next.
Who's going to handle the pressure?
(VOCALISING)
The winner of this battle for me is...
But winning their battle is only the beginning.
GUY: Out of the three artists,
one will get a fast pass
straight through to the semis
while the other two have to sing for their lives
to secure that last spot.
If there's a performance
that's going to pry that crown out of Rita's hands.
Yeah, I mean... (LAUGHS)
The battles are cutthroat, but so is the music.
I'm looking for that superstar voice
that I can take all the way.
I'm honestly looking for artistry, individuality.
I'm coming out swinging.
I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
It's going to be one to remember.
(CHEERING) SONIA: Australia. This is it.
The battle ring is set
and our artists are ready to face off
in do or die duels tonight.
Team Jason and Team Guy will battle.
Next time, It's Team Rita and Team Jess.
But first, here to show them how it's done.
It's Jess Mauboy and Jason Derulo.
With their brand new single, 'Give You Love'.
(CHEERING)

(NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE)
SONIA: How good are our superstar coaches
Jess Mauboy and Jason Derulo.
GUY: Wow.
I feel so good after that.
That was so good.
That was phenomenal.
We love this new track.
And Jess, this is the first song from your forthcoming album.
Yes this is really special
because it is the first song is--
that pretty much represents the whole record.
And I'm so stoked
that I was able to do this
and collaborate with Jason.
It's been magic, honestly.
Jess, it's been my pleasure. It means a lot. Thank you.
It's a fun for both of you to perform on the Voice stage?
I mean, come on. I mean, this stage is unbelievable.
This is a legendary stage.
It is.
Yeah, hearing it on The Voice first,
yeah, it's pretty special. Can't beat it.
Well, Australia support these superstars.
Download their epic single 'Give You Love' right now.
(CHEERING)
Jason's team is about to kick off the battles tonight
while you both go and get changed.
Let's find out who Jason paired up for his first bout in the ring.
Hey there.
I knew it. Oh, I knew it.
(LAUGHTER)
In this battle,
I got my epic diva.
Gonna be interesting.
I got Calista, and I have Maree.
This is going to be one hell of a show.
The song is called 'Fall in Line'.
Oh, my God. Yes!
Christina Aguilera. Demi Lovato.
Oh, my God. Yes.
Yeah.
Christina, Let's go.
They're powerhouse singers.
But they are different singers.
So the same things that work
for Christina and Demi
aren't going to be the same things
that work for Maree and Calista.
(VOCALISING)
You went down. I went up.
OK.
So this is one that's going to take
a little bit of massaging.
Your voices together...
Can go to two ways.
It can be a screaming match.
(LAUGHTER)
Or...
Or it can be beautiful harmony and complimenting each other,
Even though at the end of the day,
this is a battle they still have to work together
because once we get
towards the second half,
it becomes loud.
So I think it would be
really impactful
if you brought us down for a second,
then brought us up, you know?
Yeah.
If we're not blending and working together.
That's not going to make either of us look very good.
I'm ready for this.
I can handle this challenge.
We want Jason's decision to be difficult
because neither of us want to go home.
It's important to make it a performance,
not an argument.
WOMAN: # Get to the end and show no mercy #
# No one will save me #
I want to see them go at it.
I want to see them go at it
in a tasteful way, though.
Don't get overzealous and start yelling at me.
I don't want to be yelled at.
(CHEERING)
Whoo-hoo.
# Little girls, listen closely #
# 'Cause no one told me #
# But you deserve to know #
# That in this world, you are not beholden #
# You do not owe them #
# Your body and your #
# All the youth in the world
will not save you from growing older #
# All the truth in the girl is too precious
to be stolen from her #
# It's just the way it is #
# Maybe it's never gonna change #
# But I got a mind to show my strength #
# And I got a right
to speak my mind #
# And I'm gonna pay for this #
# They're gonna burn me
at the stake #
# But I got a fire in my veins #
# I wasn't made to fall in line #
(VOCALISING)
Hey!
# No, it's never gonna change #
# But I got a mind to show my strength #
# And I got a right # And I got a right
to speak my mind # to speak my mind #
# And I'm gonna pay for this #
# They're gonna burn me at the stake #
Oh! # But I got a fire in my veins #

(VOCALISING)
# I wasn't made to fall in line #
# We weren't made to fall in... # We weren't made to fall in...
line # line #
(CHEERING)
GUY: Yes!
SONIA: Calista and Maree from Team Jason.
Oh my god!
RITA: Oh my gosh.
GUY: Wow.
SONIA: There is a standing ovation in the room for you two.
Look at that.
Everybody's up on their feet Yeah!
because it was epic.
GUY: If there's a performance
that's going to pry that crown out of Rita's hands,
I think Jason just delivered that with these two artists
That, I mean, that was like
I felt like we were in the Colosseum.
(LAUGHTER)
I love the battles,
and it's because of moments like that.
Listen, listen, listen.
Calista and Maree.
You both tore that stage up.
Thanks Jess.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Each coach has two
semi-final spots up for grabs,
which means the battle winners will either go straight through
to the semi or to a last chance,
sing for your life
after everyone has performed.
But for now, Jason,
it's time to reveal
who won that battle.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Oh, that was an unbelievable performance
from what I saw in rehearsals to what we just witnessed together.
It was a world of a difference.
Even up to the last minute.
I was worried about this performance.
Those top notes, though,
they came out with ease tonight.
I mean, they catapult me back in my chair.
I was just blown away because
both of you were like laser sharp.
It was like on.
This was the ultimate diva battle.
Two insane vocalists,
but unfortunately...
I have to choose one.
(AUDIENCE SHOUTING)
The artist that I'm choosing tonight
is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
This is really difficult for me.
The artist who won this battle is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's you Calista.
(CHEERING)
Congratulations, Calista.
CALISTA: Oh my god.
SONIA: You won the battle.
(CHEERING)
You are still in the game.
Calista wins the battle.
Sadly, that does mean we have to say goodbye to our Maree.
Thank you so much for taking me on
and helping me grow and develop.
You're incredible.
I just want to say thank you so much.
Put your hands together for Maree.
Thank you so much. No. Thank you.
Coming up, it's Charlie Pittman versus Robbie Hunt.
Welcome, lads.
This next battle is between my two musical pop guns,
Robbie and Charlie.
How you doing? I love the laugh.
(LAUGHTER)
Just the point and laugh at each other.
WOMAN: # I need a revolution #
Sir Robbie as an artist
is way beyond his years.
I mean, he's only 19 and
some of the stuff he's doing with his voice
really, really amazing.
And so it's definitely going to be a tough one,
being up against someone of his calibre.
Guy has paired me up with Charlie.
He's got such a beautiful voice,
so I feel like he's going
to really be pushing me
outside of my comfort zone.
# We need a revolution #
Now that we're at the battles, it's almost like,
what other layers do we want to show?
Yeah.
So, I've chosen a song
which is really well known.
Snow patrol, 'Chasing Cars'.
Oh, yeah. Awesome. Nice.
That's cool. Yeah.
It's known as one of the most emotional songs ever.
This song in particular,
people really apply their own meaning to it.
# We'll do it all #
Hmm.
# Everything #
# On our own #
Beautiful.
# We don't need #
# Anything #
Their voices
are very emotional voices,
but we weren't tapping into the right emotion.
Both of you really know about loss.
Me and my dad had like a bit of an on and off relationship.
Yeah.
Towards the real back end of his life,
I think we started to really patch things up
and he actually ended up passing away from pneumonia
really quick.
Like this was very sudden.
Yeah. Like, I had no idea about it.
We spoke the night before and that was a year ago now,
but it feels like it was yesterday.
I think it was a big step for me.
I felt like it was like
the first time
I've really let it sink in a bit
with other people. So...
So, yeah, my my dad
was diagnosed with cancer 2020 - May 2020,
but it was terminal when he was,
he was diagnosed and then yeah,
a couple of months ago now passed away.
Um...
Come on.
Yeah, I know how that feels. Yeah.
Yeah man. That's... Oh, wow.
It was like a strange feeling,
sort of being able to talk to him and him
talk to me and know that we've both got that sort of mutual thing.
It's sort of comforting
in a way as well.
Put all of that into the song.
This decision comes down to what happens in the moment,
and it's whoever can rise to the grandeur of this arrangement.
WOMAN: # I broke the law #
# Along with this job #
I feel like since it's such an emotional song, you have to
hit every note and convey every bit of feeling.
So... it's going to be hard.
# Down on their knees #
# My enemies #
Robbie's got an amazing voice
and he's going to be belting a lot of stuff,
but I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff a bit softer,
so I need to make sure
I just sort of
focus on that and not let
his excellent performance
take away from what I'm doing as well.
# Taste of blood and the gun #
# It was fun #
# On the run #
As much as I've been telling myself, like,
I just want to get to the battles.
Realistically, the goal is to win.
(CHEERING)
I want to get as far as I can
in this competition.
And so to win this battle
is just another step forward
in doing that.
But one of us is going to go home.
(CHEERING)
# We'll do it all #
(CHEERING)
Love this song.
# Everything #
# On our own #
(CHEERING)
# We don't need #
(CHEERING)
# Anything #
# Or anyone #
(CHEERING)
# If I lay here #
# If I just lay here #
Oh!
CHARLIE: # Would you lie with me and
just forget the world? #
(VOCALISING)
# All that I am # # All that I am #
# All that I ever was # # All that I ever was #
# Is here in your perfect eyes #
# They're all I see #
(VOCALISING)
# I don't know where #
(VOCALISING)
# And I don't know how #
# Just know that these things will never
change for us at all # # Change for us at all #

# If I lay here #
# If I just lay here #
# Would you lie with me # Would you lie with me

(CHEERING)
SONIA: What a moving performance from Charlie and Robbie.
JESS: Wow. GUY: So good, eh?
That got me.
(CHEERING)
Are you guys for real?
That was so amazing.
Such power,
such emotion.
Oh, I'm trying to pull myself together.
It takes so much guts, you know,
to deliver that vulnerability.
So, you know. Well done.
Well done.
(CHEERING)
Thank you.
Charlie and Robbie, you guys both turned into artists tonight,
not just singers.
And that is huge. So congrats.
(CHEERING)
And honestly, I think for me, you know,
the choices that Robbie made were really, really exceptional.
So I'm going to go with Robbie on this one.
ROBBIE: Thank you very much, Rita. I appreciate it
Guy, two great singers here, but only one can go through
with a shot to advance to the semi-final.
So who has won the battle tonight?
You're both fantastic.
I love you both. And I'm proud of you.
(CHEERING) Thanks Guy.
Thank you very much Guy.
I'm going to give one person a chance to get to the semi-final.
The artist that won the battle for me tonight is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
It's you, Charlie.
(CHEERING)
Good on you Charlie! Whoo!
SONIA: Congratulations, Charlie.
Head on down. We'll see you later in the show.
GUY: That was beautiful, bro.
Beautiful.
SONIA: Did you want to say anything, Robbie?
Oh, I mean, I'm sad I'm going home,
but I really appreciate, like,
the opportunity that you've given me.
I really loved my time here.
It's been so much fun, so I really appreciate it.
Put your hands together everyone,
for one last time for Robbie.
(CHEERING)
Next up on The Voice.
Team, Jason,
steps into the battle ring.
MAN: # Fight each battle #
# Until we win this war #
This battle is between my two superstars,
Etienne...
..And Ethan.
# Nobody gonna stop us #
Etienne can do these crazy runs,
and I'm not so good at runs.
She's an insane vocalist.
He has so much emotion
that you can hear through his voice.
His belting's insane.
It's really, really impressive,
but also intimidating.
He could be a winner.
So I was definitely freaking out.
Don't tell nobody,
but you guys are some of my favourites. So...
(LAUGHTER)
You guys are ready-made artists... today.
So I wanted to do something current, something right now of the day.
So I chose 'Ceilings' by Lizzy McAlpine.
That's so good.
This song is definitely suited
to Etienne's voice more than it is mine.
My work for this song is going
definitely be amped up.
# You kiss me in your car #
# Feels like the star # Feels like the star
of a movie I've seen before # of a movie I've seen before #
# But it's not...
Ethan and I think maybe have...
different approaches to singing.
I'd really like to stand out,
so I need to make sure that I'm pushing myself
and doing things that I haven't done on the stage before.
The good news is that it sounds beautiful in your voices.
I want to make sure
that we find some moments.
# Movie I've seen before #
Yeah. I honestly feel like I'm going to have
a really tough decision on my hand.
This is like a moment that you get to show your talent to the world.
Just make sure that they see
the best version of yourself. Yeah.
It's a battle and you got to bring the fight.
I want to see who's going to step up
and show me that
they got what it takes.
MAN: # A storm is coming #
I really need to make sure
that I don't play it safe.
Go for big notes.
Bring the heat.
Bring the fight and get it right. #
# There ain't no stopping me now #
Jason said he's looking for the next superstar
and he thinks it could maybe be one of us,
but obviously only one of us
can go through, so.
I want to impress him enough to make sure
that he thinks I can be the superstar.
(CHEERING)
# There is nothing you can say #
# You will not say #
# Turn this clock early #
# Get out of my way #
# Cause there ain't no stopping me #
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Hoping to snatch Voice victory tonight,
And secure a spot in the semifinal.
It's Etienne Steven.
(CHEERING)
And Ethan Beckton.

of a movie I've seen before # of a movie I've seen before #
# But it's not real #
# And you don't exist #
# And I can't recall the last time I was kissed #
# It hits me in the car #
# And it feels like the end # And it feels like the end
of a movie I've seen before # of a movie I've seen before #
Yeah!

(CHEERING)
Ohh! JESS: Woah.
Yeah!
Show some love for Team Jason's,
Etienne and Ethan.
That was so good guys.
Oh my god.
(CHEERING)
I think your coach is happy with your performances.
It was, it was way too good.
It was Rita, these guys.
They really came out swinging.
It was amazing.
(CHEERING) Thank you.
It was almost like you guys have known each other your whole lives.
I was like, "Are these guys are in love?"
What is going on here? It felt really real.
Thank you so much. Good job. Thank you.
First off,
I'm really excited because I feel like you guys presented
as the best versions of yourselves tonight.
And that was my biggest goal,
is to have you shine
as the amazing artists that you guys are.
Thank you so much. Thank you very much.
SONIA: So what are you going to do, Jason?
Who is going to win this battle
and who will you be sending home?
I think you both are incredible artists
and need to be heard by the entire world.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Did so amazing tonight.
But unfortunately,
I have to make a decision.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The artist who won this battle
for me tonight is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
..Ethan.
(CHEERING)
Ethan congratulations.
Why don't you head on down, you won your battle.
GUY: Well done mate.
Nailed it.
Um, Etienne. I'm proud of you.
Happy for you.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
I've had so much fun here.
I'm really proud of myself.
And I'm so happy that I got to be part of your team.
So thank you so much.
SONIA: Make some noise for Etienne, everyone.
(CHEERING)
Well done Etienne!
Thanks so much. You're so incredible tonight.
Thank you.
Later, which Team Jason artists
will compete in a sing for your life?
And who will get the semi-final fast pass.
But coming up next, Team Guy is back.
(CHEERING)
MALE ANNOUNCER: Still to come on The Voice.
This is my shot
to start off my career.
More show-stopping battles.
Yeah!
As artists fight for a spot
in the semifinals.
ELLY: Someone's got to win. Someone's got to lose.
That's the nature of a competition.
And later...
(SHOUTING)
(LAUGHTER)
..A three way battle.
You guys want to know what you're singing?
Please. Please.
'You Raise Me Up'
(LAUGHTER)
I'm not sure that I'm going to be able
to get away with being the rock guy in this song.
With an impossible choice.
You do realise that two of you will be going home.
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
MAN: # Have you got what it takes? #
This battle is between
my music teachers, Elly and Marley.
They're both technical,
incredible singers,
which I would expect
from music teachers.
Elly She's got such an amazing voice.
Beautiful tone.
I'm definitely intimidated by Marley.
He's just phenomenal.
How can I compete against someone like this?
MAN: # Have you got what it takes? #
It's my two gigantic voices.
Oh.
I love duets. Yeah.
Ultimately, of course, we want to get through,
but we also want to leave people talking
for a long time
about a performance that blew them away.
And we've got a perfect opportunity to do that here.
Yeah.
Especially with the song that I've chosen for you guys.
'I Can't Make You Love Me'...
Come on. ..by Bonnie Raitt.
This is such a beautiful song.
This song is heartbreaking.
You can't sing it without
tearing your own heart apart on stage
as a performer.
# Because I can't make you love me #
# If you don't #
# You can't make your heart feel
something it won't #
Elly has one of those voices that's so powerful.
# I will lay down my heart #
Marley's vocal ability and range is impressive.
When you're that good, you know,
it's easy to just lean on the fact
I can do these vocal things
that most people can't.
Every artist has a safety blanket,
and weirdly, your security blanket
is to do stuff that is really crazy technical and good
that you know, other people can't do.
Right now, as a coach,
I just want to encourage you guys
to refocus and to dive into
being a little bit vulnerable.
I want them to throw technicality out the window
and make it all about heart.
Just shift that thinking during the performance
from being impressive
to actually leave an impression
not just with their ears, but with their heart.
I do hide behind my voice.
It's a massive challenge that Guy has set.
to really open myself up
on that stage.
I'm 100% terrified.
People know you're great singers
and you know you're great singers.
The artist that's going to win this battle
is the one that taps into
the feeling of this song
and areas that they haven't tapped into before.
MAN: # Enter the battleground #
I'm ready to try things that maybe
I'm not comfortable with.
I haven't hit the limit
of what I'm capable of.
And he sees something more.
So...
I'm gonna have to step my game up.
# Ain't gonna stop me now #
# This is the final round #
Someone's got to win. Someone's got to lose.
That's the nature of a competition.
So there is no room
to mess this song up at all.
I've never, ever let the walls down on stage, ever.
But I know that this is my moment.
This is what I have to do.
# Turn down the lights #
# Turn down the bed #
# Turn down these voices
inside my head #
# Lay down with me #
(CHEERING)
# Tell me no lies #
# Just give me till then
to give up this fight #
# And I will give up this fight # # And I will give up this fight #
# 'Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't #
# And you can't make your heart feel
something it won't #
# Here in the dark # Here in the dark
in these final hours # in these final hours #
# I will lay down my heart #
# I'll feel the power #
# But you won't...
..no you won't # # No you won't #
# I can't make you love me,
if you don't #
# I can't make your heart feel something it won't #
# Here in the dark,
in these final hours #
# I will lay down my heart
and I'll feel the power #
# But you won't #
# 'Cause I can't make you love me # # 'Cause I can't make you love me #
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Elly and Marley.
Unbelievable.
Oh, my darling Rita.
I'm just so grateful I witnessed that.
That was so perfect.
(CHEERING)
Elly, are you crying?
Yeah, I am. I got--
makeup running all down my face.
(LAUGHS)
Why are you so emotional?
It's just such a beautiful song.
And it's just such a beautiful...
..moment. Seeing everyone
and singing with you.
And it's just... It's mesmerizing.
It's beautiful.
(CHEERING)
GUY: I was a bit worried that you guys
maybe would just cruise through that and I wouldn't feel that emotion.
So that's what we worked on mainly
is to refocus,
re-shift your mind into why you sing.
And this would have been an easy decision for me
had one of you
done it and the other not.
But both of you did it.
And so I'm going to rip the band aid off.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
I'm going to give one person a chance to get to the semi-final.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
The winner of this battle...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Is you, Marley.
(CHEERING)
Congratulations Marley.
(CHEERING)
We'll find out whether you have to sing for your life
or whether you get a fast pass through to the semi-final.
GUY: Great job, bro.
That was beautiful. Well done.
Well done. Very good.
SONIA: Unfortunately, Ellie,
that means your time in The Voice has come to an end.
I've learnt so much
on this show and emotionally and musically,
and I'm really looking forward to taking that into my gigs.
So, thank you so much.
(CHEERING)
Next Guy brings country and soul together
in mentoring by pairing his country Queen and soul King.
GUY: This battle is between my ready-made country star Bella
and my veteran
backup singer, Jaydean.
BELLA: I did not expect us two
to get put together.
JAYDEAN: We come from two
completely different musical backgrounds.
Hello. Hello.
We've got an R&B soul singer
and then a country pop singer.
I paired you guys together because
those worlds are blending a lot
nowadays in-- in music. Yeah.
I've chosen a song that portrays both of them in their best light.
Maren Morris, 'The Bones'.
I love that song.
It's a little bit country. It's a little bit soul.
# The bones are good
The rest don't matter #
# The paint could peel
the glass could shatter #
(VOCALISING)
# Cause you and I... #
It is kind of...
a very storytelling
based song.
# The rest don't matter #
# The paint could peel # (VOCALISING)
I feel like Jayden's just holding back slightly.
# And our bones are good # # And our bones are good #
It's battles -
come out of your shell.
Put some passion into it.
I don't want to feel like it was easy for you.
Yeah.
The audience would be bored
if they feel like you're just...
(SINGS)
# Don't matter #
You know, it's not time to be smooth.
You got a beautiful heart.
Open it up.
You know, let people in.
I'm going to really need to come out of my shell for this performance.
Really just focus on the lyrics
and how I'm going to project that
with my body language
and the way I sing it.
Bella, we've seen you behind the guitar,
but you're more than a country chick.
You're a performer.
I'm going to take you away
from your instrument.
Bella's voice, I know,
is built to tell stories.
I haven't really seen her in that light yet.
Whether personally she can open up.
Um... I'm a little bit nervous.
I'm comfortable with it because it's something to kind of
keep me occupied and not have to use
my body to perform. So...
I'm not asking you to start like popping and locking and stuff
and doing some Jason Derulo moves.
It's more really about just being open to do this.
Like, you're letting people in. Yeah.
I'm pretty worried about not having my guitar because
it's sort of what I'm used to.
This one's going to be really hard.
You're both so different.
This whole battle boils down to individuality.
I feel like a deer in the headlights right now.
This is like a genre that
I've never really delved into,
but I guess I'm just going to have to
peel back the layers that Guy was talking about
and really nail this
if I want to stay here.
I think this is my shot
to start off my career
and I want to be
that female country artist
that's playing stadiums and touring the world.
I don't want to be overshadowed.

WOMAN: # This is The Voice #

Oooh! OK.
# When the bones are good # # When the bones are good #
(CHEERING)
Oh my goodness.
RITA: I am really, really impressed.
Jaydean...
You just really sang like you were just like...
I mean, it is in your blood, man.
(CHEERING)
Jason, who would you choose if you were in Guy's shoes?
If I were in Guy's shoes...
Some really nice shoes by the way.
GUY: Thank you.
(LAUGHTER)
I would-- I would have to.
To go with the person that
I feel like is the most individual.
The person that would bring the most to the table
in the industry today.
And I would have to go with Bella on this one.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Well, that's what your fellow coaches thought, Guy
But the decision is yours,
Jaydean or Bella, who won this battle?
GUY: This is... this is definitely tough.
You know, I've asked you Jaydean to really show me the artist
within yourself and to
believe it yourself.
And you did that. You really did that tonight.
Bella, the thing I loved
about your performance,
there's this
real honest thing about you.
When you perform, you're an artist, you know,
It feels like you wrote the song.
It feels like you're telling the story.
I guess for me, the artists I want to take through
is someone I can continue to see grow.
The artists that won the battle for me tonight is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Bella.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Bella, You've done it.
You've won the battle.
Bella, everyone.
Jaydean, you've just been an absolute joy
to have with us here at The Voice.
(CHEERING)
I've learnt so much from this
and I feel so much more confident now
in myself, in my artistry.
And it's definitely not the last
you'll see of me. Definitely.
And thank you all for turning your chairs.
Jaydean, everyone.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Coming up,
new coach Jason shocked us all
at the ultimate callback by forming a battle trio.
When he couldn't split his artists.
I'm super excited to see what happened next.
When Jason and his throuple
of Titan singers collided in mentoring.
OK.
Out of all three battles,
the battle that I'm most worried about
is between Andrew...
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, man.
Alex...
What do you this for!?
..and Callum. (SHOUTING)
(LAUGHTER)
CALLUM: You're joking!
(LAUGHTER)
At the ultimate callbacks...
..I broke the rules.
(AUDIENCE GASPING) GUY: What?
When it came time to make a decision.
I kind of did my own thing.
I'm going to take both of you through to the battles.
(SONIA SCREAMS)
What!? Wait a minute.
So because of that,
now I have to do a three way battle.
Oh, no.
This is not going the way
I thought it might.
Some people are battling against
just one other person,
but now you've got to battle against two incredible singers.
So you really got to shine.
MAN: # Coming to knock you down in the first round #
CALLUM: Can I just have like, a normal moment...
..please?
# This is the fight of your life #
Only one will walk away a winner.
Who's going to handle the pressure?
He's picked up three biggest voices
to go up against each other.
There's going to be an epic battle.
You guys want to know what you're singing?
Please.
Come on. (LAUGHTER)
'You Raise Me Up'.
(LAUGHTER)
Stop.
It's... classical.
It's theatrical. It's big voice.
And it's Andrew.
And it's Callum.
This is the song they've probably been waiting for.
It's the song that I've been wanting
to sing for a long time.
Probably one of my favourite songs in the whole entire world.
I'm not sure that I'm going to be able
to get away with being the rock guy in this song,
and that scares me
because I'm going to have to tap into something
that I'm not used to tapping into.
# You raise me up #
# So I can stand on mountains #
# You raise me up #
The way we all approach this.
It's insane how different it is.
It's beautiful. How different it is.
# When I am on your shoulder #
Are we a boy band?
(LAUGHS)
Right now as it stands, they're all three really,
really great singers
and they all come across really great.
I think we need to be a little less right down the middle,
but it all seems really even keel
and somebody is going to have to step up and take the spot.
I'm fine up to like A, B-flat.
We have plenty of room. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they have to be able to work with each other
without trying to one-up each other.
ALL SING: # You raise me up
to more than I can be #
They're not going to know what hit them.
They're just going to be like, What is going on?
Why do we love this so much?
I need to be able to make myself shine in this song
and outshine two other performers in that same amount of time.
I'm not going to let myself consider losing this battle.
I'm in too deep and I'm too invested.
I'm not sure if I'll get another opportunity like this.
I just don't want to let anyone down in this battle.
I don't want to be forgotten.
Maybe I'm having self doubts.
MAN: # Yeah we came here to fight #
(CHEERING)
# Yeah to fight #
# Came here to fight #
# To fight #
# Came here to fight #
# To fight #
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(CHEERING)
A rocker... An opera singer
and a musical theatre maestro
all walk into a battle ring.
Let the three-way battle commence.
(CHEERING)
# When I am down
and, oh my soul, so weary #
# When troubles come
and my heart burdened be #
# Then, I am still
and wait here in the silence #
ALL: # Until You come and sit awhile with me #
# You raise me up,
so I can stand on mountains #
# You raise me up,
to walk on stormy seas #
# I am strong,
when I am on your shoulders #
ALL: # You raise me up
to more than I can be #
CALLUM: # You raise me up,
so I can stand on mountains #
# You raise me up,
to walk on stormy seas #
# I am strong,
when I am on your shoulders #
ALL: # You raise me up
to more than I can be #
# You raise me up
Whoo!
to more than I can be #
(CHEERING) Yeah!
SONIA: Goosebumps.
(CHEERING)
RITA: You guys are like one of those things
that just shouldn't work.
It's like, it just works.
It's like peanut butter and jelly.
Sorry. Never understood it.
These ingredients worked, honey.
(CHEERING) JESS: Yeah
That was unexpectedly amazing.
It was... Wow.
I...
I think only
one other person loved it more than me,
and I feel like it was Andrew's mum.
She was going off over there.
You know what it felt like,
You know, you know, when you get chills in a movie scene.
It felt like I was watching a movie scene where, you know,
a hipster, an IT guy and a Disney prince walk into a bar.
Again with the IT guy.
It was just fantastic.
(CHEERING)
I'm just so proud of each and every one of you.
You guys came together.
The harmonies were as tight as they could possibly be.
Everybody had their individual moments.
I feel like we made the right choices, you know?
Individually you guys are amazing,
but as a unit, you guys are really incredible.
So this is really difficult for me.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
CALLUM: Oooh!
Sonia..?
Is there any chance that I could get more time with this?
Oh.
These guys are going through it.
Jason. Yes?
You can have more time.
I'll take it. I'll take it.
We'll bring all three boys back at the end of the night.
OK.
Oh, listen, my apologies.
I'm so sorry.
Guys, I genuinely need more time.
I promise you, I will make the decision.
I just need a little more time.
I want to make the right decision.
Alright? OK.
Alright. No decision quite yet.
Why don't you head backstage, go and relax.
If you can. If you can.
We'll see you later.
Coming up, Team Guy, step back through the rope.
In a sing for your life.
And who will get the semi-final fast pass?
MALE ANNOUNCER: Coming up.
They may have won their battle,
but now...
Artists must sing for their lives.
In one last shot at the semis.
(VOCALISES)
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
(CHEERING)
Welcome back to the Voice Battle Arena,
where it's now time
for team Guy's battle winners
to face the sing for your life.
Charlie, Bella and Marley,
you all successfully
won your battle.
Guy, three incredible artists up here,
but only one can receive your fast pass.
So who will you be sending straight through to the semifinal?
You guys are obviously, all three...
Incredible and so deserving
to be at this stage.
But I do need to pick someone and...
someone who I believe
has a lot left in the tank, a lot left to give,
and someone who legitimately I see
as someone who's going to be a stayer,
someone that's going to have
some level of industry success.
It's not just about music or talent,
but this is about artistry as well.
So the artist I'm taking straight through
to the semifinals is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Charlie.
SONIA: Congratulations Charlie, you are through to the semi-final.
Thank you. We'll see you there.
GUY: Well done. Well done. Thank you so much.
SONIA: The pressure is still on
for both Bella and Marley,
as you guys will now be singing for your life
with a song that you think can keep you in the competition.
So, Bella, you're performing first.
# Just a small town girl #
# Livin' in a lonely world #
# She took the midnight train
going anywhere #
# Don't stop believin' #
# Hold on to that feelin' #

# Don't stop believin' #

(JESS LAUGHS) GUY: Nice.
Whoo!
# This city's gonna break my heart #
# This city's gonna love me then leave me alone #
# This city's got me chasing stars #
# It's been a couple months
since I felt like I'm home #
# Am I getting closer
to knowing where I belong?
# This city's gonna break my heart #
# She's always gonna break your heart #
# This city's gonna break my heart #
(VOCALISING)
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Marley and Bella
singing for their lives.
Guy, you have one more spot...
..in the semi-final.
Who will you be sending through to join Charlie?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
GUY: With this decision.
It is a tough one because
the thing that's guiding my gut
is really about who I can help the most.
And if you think we worked hard
for the battles
like semifinals is where you show
everything you've got.
So I need to trust one of you.
And that person in the semifinals
is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
You, Bella.
SONIA: Congratulations, Bella. (CHEERING)
We can't wait to see you perform at the semifinals.
Put your hands together for Bella.
Thank you for all of your incredible performances Marley.
Put your hands together, everyone.
AUDIENCE (CHANTING): Marley, Marley, Marley. Marley.
(CHEERING)
Team Guy is now locked and loaded
for the semifinals.
It's now Team Jason's turn
to face off in the sing for Your life.
Now, Calista and Ethan, you both won your battle.
But earlier tonight, Jason asked for more time
to decide who would be the winner
of the most epic battle we've ever seen
between Andrew, Callum and Alex.
(CHEERING) Listen...
I know I've been a bit slack with my decision making,
so I want to make a decision right here, right now.
The person I'm sending straight to
the semi-finals...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
..is Ethan.
(CHEERING) Congratulations Ethan.
You've taken the first of Jason's two semi-final spots.
Can you believe it?
Enjoy. Congratulations. Huge congratulations, Ethan.
We'll see you in the semi-final.
So, Jason, you still have four artists standing up here
and only one more semi-final spot.
I need to hear you sing individually one more time.
It looks like we have a four way sing off.
Is that what you're saying? Yes, please.
First, to sing for your life.
Is Calista. CALISTA: OK...
# Like the storm in the sky #
# I ain't gonna be played by your behaviour #
# How can I trust someone who's lying to me #
# So bow out go now I said bow out and leave #
# I said take your stuff and go #
# 'Cause you're not for me, no #
# Mamma knows best when times get hard #
# And Mamma always has a joke
to make me laugh #
(SINGS IN LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
(SINGING CONTINUES)
# What if I'm someone I don't want around? #
# I'm falling again
I'm falling again #
# I'm falling #
# What if I'm down? #
# What if I'm out? #
# What if I'm someone
you won't talk about? #
# I'm falling again #
# I'm falling again,
I'm falling #
# I'm afraid of what I'm risking
if I follow you #
# Into the unknown #
# Are you out there? # # Do you know me? #
# Can you feel me? #
# Can you show me? #
# Where are you going? #
# Don't leave me alone #
# How do I follow you #
# Into the...
..unknown? #
(CHEERING) Yeah.
SONIA: A four-way sing for your life.
Callum.
Calista.
Andrew and Alex...
Let's go!
RITA: Oh wow.
That was mind... blowing.
You guys are all amazing, amazing artists.
(CHEERING)
After seeing you all sing again,
it's pretty clear to me this artist
is an incredible talent
and has an incredible journey ahead.
But I feel they've reached
their ceiling here on The Voice.
The person I won't be sending to the semi-finals...
It's you, Calista.
I'm so sorry.
And sadly, it means your time on The Voice ends here.
I just want to say I honestly feel like I've grown so much
as an artist since being here and like,
I just can't even believe I made it this far.
Like, I'm on The Voice. What the heck?
(JASON LAUGHS)
Put your hands together for Calista.
Thank you for all of your incredible performances.
(CHEERING)
Jason, you still have one semi-final spot remaining
and three artists standing here on stage.
It's time now to make your decision.
Who will take your last semi-final spot?
Genuinely been wracking my brain all night about this decision.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(EXHALES)
I want the decision to be yours, not mine.
GUY: Oh.
(EXHALES)
WOMAN: # This is The Voice #
I want the decision
to be yours, not mine.
GUY: Oh.
(EXHALES)
So, Jason, welcome to The Voice.
(LAUGHS)
Right.
Where we basically
have to make decisions.
Yes. Yes.
And I will. I promise you I will. Now.
So when exactly are you going to be making these decisions?
I'll just go right now.
Separately.
You're really unbelievable.
JESS: Oh. Oh.
Together as a group, you guys are unstoppable.
(CHEERING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
So my question to you...
Oh, my God.
I can't breathe.
Well, the three of you as a unit
join me for the semifinals.
(CHEERING)
It is totally and utterly... ETHAN: What!?
..your decision. Oh, man.
Two of you go home tonight,
or the three of you continue on to the semi-final.
Can we have a second.
SONIA: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, please. Don't mind us.
Ah Jason...
while the boys are just talking,
can I just check with the coaches
to make sure that everybody's cool with this?
Everyone's everyone agrees this is OK.
I mean, they are incredible together.
It does make sense.
I mean, it really does.
Right.
Thank you. You're OK Jess?
GUY: I'm all up for a man band.
Yeah, me too.
SONIA: OK. Alright, coaches.
Coaches agreed.
Boys, you've had a conference.
Would anybody like to tell me what the decision is?
Callum? I need a decision.
CALLUM: We have discussed...
And the offer is so incredible.
And I think it just warms our hearts
that you think that's even a possibility
for us as a unit
to grow even bigger together.
But together
we have decided that
we are singular artists
and we believe in ourselves.
Yo...
GUY: Ooooh.
No way!
CALLUM: We believe in our artistry enough separately
that I think one of us still deserves a spot
in that semifinal next to Ethan by ourselves.
OK.
(CHEERING)
But... OK.
Thank you.
Absolutely. Thank you so much.
It is, it is amazing. Thank you.
I did not think you were going to say that.
I'm going to be honest. I didn't think...
But at the end of the day, it is your decision.
You do realise that two of you will be going home.
So based on today's performance,
there's one of you that's going to the semi-finals
and that artist is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Callum.
(CHEERING)
SONIA: Callum, you're going through to the semi finals.
CALLUM: What?
SONIA: Jason's made his decision.
Congratulations.
CALLUM: Wait. ANDREW: You're in.
Semis. That's you.
SONIA: Jason picked you.
Callum, you're going through to the semi-finals.
(CHEERING)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I...
SONIA: Well done. CALLUM: Thank you.
SONIA: Are you OK?
CALLUM: This is a lot.
SONIA: You're telling me.
CALLUM: Thank you so much.
SONIA: Go and join Ethan, your fellow semi-finalist.
Sadly. Andrew and Alex, that does mean
we'll be saying good night
right here, right now.
I would love to thank the coaches
and my family in Malaysia.
(CHEERING)
I told you you had a winner.
And it is one of them right there.
OK? Ah, thank you, brother.
Go, Team Jason.
Whoo!
Yeah!
What an epic first night of battles it's been Australia.
Team Jason and Team Guy
have locked in their semi-finalists.
For team Jason, It's Ethan and Callum.
(CHEERING) CALLUM: Yeah!
SONIA: And on Team Guy,
we have Charlie and Bella.
(CHEERING)
Next time we're back with more explosive battle action
when Team Jess and Team Rita
step into the ring and continue their fight for Voice victory.
We will see you then.
Thank you so much for watching.
Good night, Australia.
