VOICEOVER: It's the final night of the blind auditions.
Australia did not come to play. World class talent.
This year's artists have surprised...
Name's Giselle. I just turned 12.
You're 12?
..inspired...
That was so good.
Being a big bloke, I was more embarrassed to show myself.
I just love that you've realised how great you are.
..and brought the house down.
(WILD CHEERING)
Look at my goosebumps.
Whoo!
You are like a mixture between Mariah Carey and Baby Jesus.
VOICEOVER: Two teams are already full.
I'll close my team right now,
like here and now. I see like a huge winner in you for sure.
I think I'm going to choose Rita.
Me?
Thank you. Oh, you have completed my team.
I live for artists like you on The Voice.
I'm going to go with Guy.
Oh, yes!
Team Guy is full. Yeah!
And then there was two.
Then there was two. Just you and I now.
Let's go.
We're coming to the end of the blinds
and I only have three spots left.
I'm looking forward to connecting with something special.
11 artists on Team Jason, I'm looking for something
really special to take that last spot.
A big voice that can reach out and make me feel something
so that I have no choice but to hit my button.
Team Jason for the win.
Team Guy is full! I'm so happy with all of my artists.
It's honestly the strongest team I've ever had.
My team is full. I am so happy.
It's an incredibly strong,
incredibly diverse team and I know I have the winner...again.
(CHEERING)
Good luck, Jason.
# I'll never let you go #
My name is Shyjana.
I'm from western Sydney and I'm 24 years old.
Can you believe we're here?
Me and Mom lived in housing commission for 17 years.
We didn't have much, but we always had each other.
It's exciting.
I'd work so hard to save.
Every single cent has gone to buying music equipment.
Anything that I needed to be able to make music at home.
I don't have money to go into the studio.
But unfortunately I lost everything.
More than 60 firefighters working to battle the flames.
It took only a matter of minutes for the fierce blaze
to devour the entire top floor.
In 2019, me and mum lost everything in a house fire.
Firefighters battled the 800 degree heat cast off by the flames.
The whole place was full of smoke, full of flames.
The first thought was to grab my studio equipment,
my three guitars, my piano.
Because that's my music. That's my life.
But the fire kind of just ripped through the whole building.
It was a matter of minutes.
We got out just in time and stood there watching it burn down.
I feel very blessed to be able to have this opportunity.
I feel very grateful to be here to share it with you.
Thanks, Mum.
I know it's been really hard for you the last few years.
I'm so proud of you.
After everything we've been through.
# Time is passing me by
# I didn't see... #
After the fire, something had to change.
Knowing that I'd saved up all that money
to try and do something with my music
and then for it to just be taken from me,
I was like, okay, time to grow up.
You gotta do this. And here I am on The Voice.
My ultimate dream for my music career is to be
one of the greatest musicians.
# I'm walking through the flames #
If a coach turns their chair, it will change my life.
WOMAN: Artist walking.
# You learnt my love You hit the target
(CHEERING)
# You get that rush and then you walk out the door
# You kept me small, it's what you wanted
# I never noticed
Keep going!
# You held my hand into the darkness
# I didn't care It made me just want you more
# My God, your love, it seems so harmless
# I never noticed
Hey! # And I hate that you're gone
# And I hate that I don't wanna let
Hey! # Go
# And I hate that you think that I'm weak
# 'Cause I don't wanna let you know
# I'm gonna build castles
# From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be
# More than you ever thought I was
# You ever thought I was
# Oooh...
# I'm gonna build castles
# From the rubble of your love The rubble of your love
# I'm gonna be stronger
# Than you ever thought I was
# You ever thought I was #
(WILD CHEERING)
Yes!
Yeah, you bet, sister.
Hello. Hello, my name is Shyjana.
I'm 24 years old and I'm from Western Sydney.
Shyjana. Shy you are not.
See what I did there?
I can't believe you guys turned around.
Me and Rita's teams are full, so that's why we didn't turn.
But you've got a beautiful gift You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you.
Wow. Like you just scream pop star to me.
Um...
As soon as you sang those few words, I was like, I was hooked.
And when I turned around, I was like, yep,
that's who I've been waiting for. Wow.
Let's get technical, because with a vocal like that,
you could sing ballads or you could sing upbeat, tempo stuff,
you could sing mid stuff, and that really excites me.
Ooh! Is this mum over here? Yeah.
So, Mum, how did you think your girl did?
I knew she had this. Oh!
That's nice. We've been through a lot.
I'm so proud of her. Yeah.
I feel grateful to be here, honestly, because four years ago,
me and my mum lost everything in a house fire,
my guitars, my pianos, my music equipment.
I couldn't write anymore.
We really had to rebuild our whole kind of life again.
And so that's what the song's about for me.
It's about rebuilding that life. Yeah.
And you know what, that showed in that song.
You could feel that instantly.
Thank you for being completely brave and sharing
that story and coming out with Mum.
We feel so blessed, you know, to be showered with your vocals.
Thank you. Yeah.
Yes. I mean, I was super impressed with your style.
I hear a lot of voices that are very similar to other ones.
But when I hear a tone and someone
who pronounces words even differently,
that's what really piques my interest.
You have something that can't be taught, right?
But you also have room still left to grow so much.
And as a pop star, I mean, that's what you want, right?
I have so many different styles, but I don't have any pop stars.
Hey, I don't have any pop stars either.
But you would stand out in Team Jess for real.
You would literally be a beast on Team Jess for sure.
Hm-hmm.
I'm really inspired by your story as well,
because my favorite thing about living is that I get to sing.
You know, it's literally my favorite thing to do,
to be in a room by myself and write a song.
They may be able to burn down a building,
but nobody can take away your passion.
Nobody can take away your dreams, your creativity, your talent.
Nobody can touch that. Nobody can take from you what's inside here.
I only have one slot left.
I'd love to have you a part of Team Jason.
I...
Can I just say one more thing?
I just want the best for you.
You know, I want to take you all the way to the top,
and I want you to win this thing actually.
I think...
To be brutally honest...
I can make you win.
All right...
(AUDIENCE SHOUTING OUT)
All right. Okay.
I'm going to go with Jess.
# So I'm going to stand my ground
# Got something to believe in
GUY: Well done, Jess.
# ..nothing's gonna stop me now
# 'Cause now I'm fireproof #
Oh! Oh, my God.
No, thank you. Oh, my god!
Thanks for turning. Are you kidding? My pleasure.
I'm so proud of you.
(CHEERING)
Believe because you did it.
Told you!
Yeah!
# 'Cause now I'm fireproof #
How are you feeling? Good.
Going to get that back. I'm going to get that power back.
Can't wait to do this together.
Yeah!
Just when you think that you've seen every vocalist on The Voice,
Shyjana comes out and does an incredible performance.
You know, I have two spots left
and I am looking for something unique.
That definitely stung me. I ain't gonna lie, that one stung me.
You know, big, big loss for me.
But good thing is, I got one spot left
and hopefully there's somebody even better coming.
VOICEOVER: Still to come, a crane operator...
I am going to try and have the most fun ever.
..a Broadway dreamer.
I think to see my name in lights would just be it.
..and a princess...
Coming to The Voice is a dream come true.
..sing for the final spots on Team Jason and Team Jess.
# This is The Voice #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
# I'm ready to go #
My name is Grace Callaghan.
I'm 24 years old
and I'm originally from Wingham.
Now I'm living in Newcastle.
I work a lot with kids
and on the weekends I work as a party princess.
# It takes a moment to break a butterfly #
I love wearing the beautiful dresses, getting to do elaborate makeup,
crown, sparkly things. Most weekends probably in a costume and a wig.
I love it and I honestly feel like it's part of my personality.
It's very special to me.
# Everything you dreamed of... #
Coming to The Voice is a dream come true
because it feels so big and so otherworldly.
Singing as myself rather than as a character is something that
is very different from what I usually do, and that's really scary.
I feel very comfortable singing in front of the kids,
but this is a step up from anything that I've ever done,
so I am very nervous.
But it's also kind of empowering because I feel like
it's just me and that's all I need to bring.
# I'm gonna be... Unforgettable
# It's unforgettable #
So nervous.
# Tale as old as time
Yeah.
# True as it can be
Yeah. Beautiful.
# Barely even friends
# Then somebody bends
# Unexpectedly
# Just a little change
# Small to say the least
# Both a little scared
# Neither one prepared
# Beauty and the Beast
# Ever just the same
# Ever as before
# Ever just as sure
# As the sun will rise
# Certain as the sun
# Rising in the east
# Tale as old as time
# Song as old as rhyme Come on, Jess.
# Beauty and the
# Beast #
(WILD CHEERING)
Hi. Hi.
I'm sweating. Sorry!
Good. It's all right. Get it out. Let it out.
What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Grace. I'm 24. I'm from Newcastle.
(CHEERING) Hi!
You love Disney? I love Disney.
I am a party princess at kids parties on the weekends,
so I dress up in... That's what you do?
Yeah. As a job?
Not a full time job. It's a weekend job.
If it was a full time job, that would be, like, the best thing ever.
That's so cool.
You even have, like, the little dress.
Like, it's so cute! And my shoes.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I just need to tell you, we did not turn because your voice sucks.
Like your voice is so beautiful and so pure.
I feel like you were flicking in between, like,
this as an artist that I want to be,
and then going back into Disney. Because when you started,
you had an indie kind of...
# Tale as old as time #
And then you were like... # Barely even friends #
You went into like...
It's funny you said that because literally before I turned,
I thought it was two of you.
I thought... Same!
A duet. Yes.
Because at one point it seemed there was like
a very timid, like nervous one.
And then this other one came in and it was like, "Wait, who's that one?"
She's the seasoned one. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I wish I had that one the whole time.
I could sit and tell you,
"This is what you need to do to be in the pop industry as an artist."
But if you love that, you even said,
"I wish I could do this full time. I wish it wasn't a weekend job."
You do it so well.
Like, how many Disney princesses sing like that?
You're the whole package in that industry and it sounds like
it makes you the happiest to be in that world.
So go for it.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I just want to sing Disney with you all day.
Great singer. Thank you so much.
Pleasure.
# Just a little change, small to say the least
# Both a little scared
# Neither one prepared
# Beauty... Yeah. I knew!
# Beauty and the beast #
You know what? I can't believe we're so close to closing out my team.
But there's still some work to do.
The final spot is very precious to me.
I'm looking for something really special to take that last spot.
It's kind of tricky. You never know what's coming next.
G'day. I'm Dan Daniels, 58 years old,
from Cohuna, in northern Victoria, dairy farm country.
# A walk along the road
# Reveals a story full of pain
Out where I live, I might not talk for days
'cause I live alone and I work alone most of the time.
# This lonely road runs straight to hell #
I've actually been a month without even seeing another person.
You sort of get used to that life.
There's always something that needs
mowed-slash-fixed, repaired.
And you just work out how to fix things yourself.
You fix the car yourself. You fix the flat yourself.
I cut my hair. I stand in the paddock with the clippers
and all my teeth are homemade.
Music's been a strange sort of unexpected thing.
It was from the start. I didn't plan it.
I wasn't a born singer.
I sort of learnt along the way. When the work started to slow down,
I thought I might pick up the guitar and make a video.
Put it on YouTube first and eventually on TikTok as well.
I think I got 3 million views on TikTok in one week there.
Yeah, TikTok really helped me connect with people again
because I have been out of touch for so long.
These messages are coming through
how you touch someone's heart and moved them in some way.
It's a beautiful thing. It really is.
And when this opportunity came along at my age, I thought,
this is maybe a last chance that I get to do anything like this.
So I had to grab it because I know the power of music.
I've been singing just to a phone, which is sort of a disconnect,
I guess, and it doesn't quite feel real some of the time.
So probably like a lot of artists,
if that's what I am, I have self-doubts.
# Carry me... #
It'll be most important to me to connect with the song,
because if I can do that.
I'll connect with the audience or connect with
the coaches and I might get a chair to turn.
So I won't be thinking about it much more than that.
# Calling me back home #
WOMAN: Artist walking.
# Artist walking #
# This is The Voice #
At my age, I thought this may be the last chance
that I get to do anything like this.
Hopefully, when I get out there,
it will be the performance of my life and chairs will turn.
# Love is a burning thing
Cool!
# And it makes a fiery ring
# Bound by wild desire
# Well, I fell in to a ring of fire
# Well, I fell in to a burning ring of fire
# Went down, down, down
# And the flames grew higher
# And it burns, burns, burns
# That ring of fire It's low!
# Ring of fire
# The taste of love is sweet
# When hearts like ours meet
# I fell for you like a child
# But, oh, the fire went wild
# Yeah, I fell in to a burning ring of fire
# Went down, down, down
# And the flames grew higher
# And it burns, burns, burns
# That ring of fire, the ring of fire #
What's your name? Dan Daniels.
Yeah. Very nice to meet you, man.
Nice to meet you all, too. Where are you from?
Kahuna and I'm 58 years old.
Wow. All right.
You got some pipes on you, man.
I mean, you have quite the instrument.
Where else have you sang? I used to do the pub circuit back in the day.
You know, I started singing a few songs on YouTube and on TikTok.
And all sudden, millions of people started listening and...
Wow. And here I am on The Voice.
Well, that's pretty incredible.
Well, we definitely feel honoured to have you, man.
Thank you. Thank you for showing up.
You have such a unique gift. Your voice is so low.
I feel like I need to speak low when I'm talking to you.
That's all right. Yeah. How low can you actually go?
A lot lower. I brought it up a bit for this.
Yeah. So it didn't fall apart down the bottom.
Great song choice. Really was.
Thank you.
And you look great too, man.
Yeah. Probably about $20 worth of clothes on here.
All from the op shop. It's not hard to do.
A gold tooth. I love that.
Yeah, they're brass. I made them myself. Wow!
I'm a country boy, you know? Yeah. There you go.
You just fix it yourself.
I'm just going to quickly just jump in and say
I'm so sorry I didn't turn for you, but my team is done.
That's all right. You really did a great job.
Thank you so much.
Can I also echo that? I'll go as far as saying that that was one of
my favorite voices I've heard on this series so far.
Wow. Thank you, Guy. Honestly, it was beautiful.
You've got a Nick Cave quality of storytelling because it's so low.
It just draws me even further in to what you're saying.
I appreciate that. Beautiful. I'm very jealous.
Yeah. I would love to be able to tell stories.
If I can't sing in the future. It's hard. It's hard work on the farm
and I'm a tradie that can't climb ladders anymore.
I'm getting up there in years, so if I can use a voice
and I can tell stories. Doesn't have to be singing.
I would love to make a future that way somehow, you know.
Honestly, Dan, like you're so rare to come by
on a show like this, on The Voice.
Thank you so much.
And unique as well. I keep going back to unique
but I'm going to use rare now, it's super, super rare.
Your voice speaks so much about storytelling.
You made the whole room vibrate.
Thank you. Thank you all very much.
I just want to say thank you so much for coming
on the show and sharing that with us.
Thank you. I'm honoured, truly honoured.
You do realize you may be the biggest thing to come out of Kahuna now,
so naturally people are probably going to call you the big Kahuna.
I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to say it.
I'm sorry. That was a terrible joke.
You couldn't help yourself.
Okay, it's decision time.
I really want to know who you're going to choose.
I would seriously love to have you on Team Jess.
I want you on team Jess. There's nobody like you on Team Jess.
And I would also really, really love to have you on my team.
You're an absolute standout, honestly.
You know what I'm going to do, don't you?
Oh, no. What are you going to do?
Thank you for turning, Jason,
but, Jess, you're like a little cousin to me.
Thank you so much.
# The ring of fire... #
Thank you.
(ALL TALKING)
GUY: Got a real Leonard Cohen thing about him.
DAN: Thank you. Oh, yeah. I'm helping you down.
I've just got to meet you. You're just so cool.
Wow. Thanks for everything.
Hey, brother. Thanks for turning. I really appreciate that.
Great to meet you, Guy. That was so great.
I can't wait to hear more.
Thank you. Oh, thanks.
I'll walk you in.
I love him.
Who are you here with? You got... No, I didn't tell anyone.
You didn't tell anybody?
Oh, a couple of people out where I live...
But, no, I kept it to myself.
Oh, that's so cool.
Oh, my God. They're going to freak out.
I want to sit with him and drink beers just like...
That would be crazy. Oh, yeah.
I bet he has all the stories, though.
You might have the coolest guy on the whole show.
Yeah.
Dan Daniels. He's a rare kind.
I've got one beautiful spot on Team Jess.
Ooh, I'm gonna win this thing.
# Confident. So confident, yeah #
I'm gonna go Team Jess.
Meet me back.
# 'Cause I'm back, I'm here to stay #
I now have eleven artists, with one more to go.
I think the beauty of Team Jess is that all the artists,
they're all very different.
They're all very unique and have their own style.
I've been waiting for someone like you.
Ezra Williams, she's really spunky.
She has a lot of fire.
# Turn up the music, turn down the lights #
Waaah!
It's about damn time. # It's about damn time #
David has the most amazing vocal range.
# And I believe #
# I believe #
I don't think he knows how incredibly powerful his vocals are.
I want to see you become you
and show the world who you are and what you're about.
Let's go. Let's go.
On Team Jess, I have a variety going on.
# Yeah!
# Come on # I have funk. I have soul.
# At last #
Oh, my god.
I have pop.
# You know I'm going to build castles... #
You know, I have big voices.
# Don't you know oh, don't you know #
I'm so excited to work with you. I'm so excited!
You're amazing! You are incredible.
I have really smooth and tender voices.
# Rise above #
# Once I was 20 years old #
I just think you're amazing and I'm so excited to guide you
and help you through whatever you want to learn.
The Bushwhackers! They're really cool.
# I am Australian #
They're incredible singers. They're incredible songwriters.
We go way back.
This is like full circle of my life.
Yeah.
Giaan is such a young, beautiful soul.
# You with the sad eyes
# Don't be discouraged... #
When she sings, it's like she's been here forever.
That's a definitely unique storytelling voice.
Giaan, honestly, that was so beautiful that my heart melted.
Thank you.
Team Jess, it's full of heart and incredible storytellers.
I'm looking for another artist.
That jam, that voice that's going to unveil so much
about themselves that they make my chair turn.
2023 is my year.
I'm going to win.
# This is The Voice #
I've loved musicals since I was 16 years old.
I think to see my name in lights,
people buying their Callum Warrender ticket...
like...dream.
# There's music in my heart #
I've been performing in little musicals, you know,
doing the gigs that pay you $20 or pay you lunch.
One of the hardest things has been trying to break into
the professional musical theatre industry for nearly ten years.
# There's music in my heart #
In your career so far, Callum, have you had knock-backs?
Have you had rejection?
I would say my career is mainly made of knock-backs.
There are times when I'll walk into an audition room
and you just see the eyes drop.
Their heads go down.
I'll have the biggest smile, I would have been preparing for weeks.
I'll sing three sentences and they'll be, "Thank you."
To get to a point where you work so hard and they still say no
just because of you don't fit the costume,
because of the way you look or the way you act.
It's just if you don't fit the mould,
you're never going to be good enough. No matter how hard you try.
It's not for you. You as a person are not right.
I've played characters, I've auditioned for roles,
but not once have I ever just said, "Hi, my name is Callum."
There's something liberating about solely relying on my voice.
I want to prove not only to everyone that said no,
but also to myself that I have a voice good enough to turn a chair.
It's time to just be a superstar.
Artist walking.

Wow!
Wow.
Oh, my goodness. Come on!
Dang.
That's too much.
Okay. Come on.
Hi! My name's Callum.
I'm 28 years old, and I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
Hello. Hi.
It's Ca... Callum? How do you say your name in American?
Kay-lum?
Kaylum. It's Callum.
Kaylum. No, Callum.
GUY: You guys would say 'Cowlum".
You can call me 'Kay-lum', it's fine.
It's for sure Kaylum. Yeah, you can just call me Cal.
We have 'Kaylums' as well.
Just like you guys call me 'Jayson'.
Jayson. Jayson Derulo.
Anyway, damn!
I didn't expect to push my button again
so soon because I only have one slot left, you know?
So this had to be my golden child, but...
And my golden child.
What's your music background? Are you musical theatre?
# Musical theatre #
OK. I'm a musical theatre girly,
and I've just started dabbling into opera as well.
Well, I was a musical theatre kid as well. When I was in college,
I auditioned day in and day out.
I had so many doors shut in my face until one day I got a yes.
Slowly, our dreams kind of get taken away from us
because we get so many no's.
But I say that to say to you,
have you had the same kind of struggles?
Yeah. I've really struggled with my career because I love to sing,
but unfortunately in like something like
musical theatre, when you don't fit
the mould or the cutout... those doors...
They don't close it on you, they were never open in the first place.
No matter how many doors have been shut in your face,
hood on you for sticking with it
because you have an amazing gift, man.
So I'm so glad to be here today.
(CHEERING)
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Absolutely.
Yeah. Honestly, Callum,
thank you very much for opening up to us personally.
Jess Mauboy said my name!
# Callum #
# Callum! # Yeah.
See, I can do musical theatre, too.
Well, you can teach me a little bit if you'd like to be on Team Jess.
All right, let's do it. Let's play.
You know, just touching back on
doors opening and doors shutting and, you know,
all the negativity. When we absorb all of that,
we then begin to believe that we are not worthy.
You kind of shutting that out and, you know,
paving that pathway has led you to this day
for you to respect what you have is awesome.
Thank you. It's so powerful. Thank you. Yeah.
So honestly, never thought anything like this could happen to me.
Like this is the best moment of my life.
I feel like you're not...
You're not used to taking compliments, are you?
AUDIENCE: Ah! Ooh! Well...
Argh!
That's a musical theatre cry. Yeah!
If every "yes" comes with a thousand "no"s,
you do get in your head like, was I ever good enough?
100%. We've all been there. I know it's hard to believe,
but I've had so many no's and I don't think it will ever stop.
It's just about you just channelling what brings you happiness.
100 per cent. And that's your singing, isn't it?
100 per cent. Yeah.
Callum, what's great is you're a beautiful dude.
Yeah! Yes.
Thank you. Thank you.
On this show, no one really cares about appearance or whatever.
They just want a great voice.
I know. I mean, look at Guy.
I'm kidding! I was kidding.
You got the charm, the looks. He's got it all.
Can I just talk about that last note? Oh, it was crazy!
I don't think we've talked about it enough.
I couldn't even talk! It was the high note at the end.
That's not even where that's supposed to go.
You... You created that.
Yeah. We found, like...
It was weird. I couldn't believe you hit that.
It's just the strength that you hit it with.
Can we hear it again?

All right, Callum. Oh, this is where I do it.
I appreciate everything you've all said.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Ah!
(AUDIENCE SHOUTING OUT)
Ah! This is so stressful.
Um, I've followed your career since I can remember.
My mum's favorite movie is The Sapphires.
It's not looking good, Jason.
Erm...
# This is The Voice #
I've followed your career since I can remember.
My mum's favorite movie is The Sapphires.
Yay!
But...
Jason.
Oh, man. Thanks so much.
There was a 'but'.
It's the 'but' that got me!
We're going to be able to do so many amazing things.
There's no levels to where you can't go
because if you can hit a B flat like that,
then you could hit a B as well. Yeah.
I know that B is in there. Yeah, it's in there.
Oh, you're so good.
Oh! Oh!
Love you! Mwah!
Well, this is for you. Oh, my god.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Oh, my. Thank you so much.
Of course. That note - wow.
It's like Sesame Street, you know, when it's like, "Ooh!"
Let's go meet your friends. Yes.
I want to be a part of the gang, too. Hi.
Nice to meet you. This is Jason Derulo.
Guys.
We'll have an amazing time, and then we'll talk about you
as an artist and trying to figure that whole thing out and how to
make you the biggest artist in the world.
Done. Let's do it. Let's go. Let's do it.
It's so nice to meet you.
Thank you so much. Very nice to meet you as well.
Thank you so much. Jason Derulo!
GUY: You're the only one left. I'm the only one left, guys.
Why! I thought he was coming to you.
I don't know. I feel... I feel like something's going to, like,
hit you and you're going to be like, "Whoa, I'm so happy I waited."
All right. (CHEERING)
Thank you, guys.
Whoo!
Dude! This is your first full Voice team.
First team Voice ever. Well done.
Couldn't have ended on a better note.
# Star! #
I've been hanging around y'all too much, so.
That's Team Jason full.
# I got one chance, one chance
# I got one chance #
I couldn't be happier with my team. I have a group of powerhouses.
I'm the new guy, but I'm coming out swinging.
Etienne did a crazy flip to Savage Love
and she has a very current sound.
# Savage love
# Did somebody, did somebody break your heart #
I thought that was super fly.
Can I borrow that for the live show?
That was, like, so cool.
# Your heart #
Ethan. Uh, that boy can sing.
# Oh, 'cause I wished you
# The best of
# All this world would give... #
He gives off a very quiet confidence. It's not a cockiness.
I would love to nurture that amazing talent to be a superstar
that the world remembers for a very long time.
That kind of artist doesn't come around every day.
# Oooh...
# What you gonna... #
Tee and Raye are unbelievable singers.
You know, some of the best singers I've ever heard.
Your range is insane. Like, oh, my goodness.
# ..let go... #
The beauty about my team is there's just so much variety.
# ..some of us don't know why #
That was awesome, bro.
We haven't heard anything like that on the show.
# Baby, baby
# If I kiss you like this
# And if you whisper like that #
I have the most eclectic team, the most diverse team.
I have Broadway singers. I have Indian singers.
I have pop singers.
Literally, every single kind of artist is on my team.
# Simply the best
# She better than all the rest #
A voice like yours, we could win this whole thing together.
# That's when I remember
# Every time... #
Calista is so incredible that I had to utilize
a block to get her.
# Figaro, Figaro, Figaro... #
Andrew excites me because he's a young guy.
He has charisma, but he does something left of centre.
# ..aro #
# ..better hurry
# 'Cause I'm leaving soon #
I think you are a shining light
that needs to be shown all over the world.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
And I'm blown away by all the talent here in Australia.
And I didn't come all this way to be a loser.
It's go time.
# This is The Voice #
# Can't feel it now #
My husband, my daughter and my son,
we live on the river and we love living by the water.
# Can't feel it now #
I'm Candice. I'm 37 and I'm from northern New South Wales.
We bought our dream home by a river.
Beautiful 100-year-old Queenslander.
It's just a beautiful home to raise our kids.
February last year, it was a really spooky night.
This particular Saturday night,
the toilets were gurgling and the river
in our backyard was coming up really high.
The rain wasn't stopping and the water
just kept coming higher and higher.
We both agreed that we would prepare to evacuate.
We were safe, thank goodness,
but we knew it had gone through our home.
It was just a really tough thing to wrap our heads around.
Almost everything was destroyed in the floods.
We were fortunate enough to have insurance,
but it's taking a really long time for that to come through.
So while we're waiting for the house to be fixed,
we are living in a caravan on our property.
Losing our dream home, music is a constant.
It helps me, it helps us.
We don't have a lot at the moment, but we do have music.
I feel like this is a new chapter for me,
and something good always happens when I throw myself into music.
Having my kids see that good things can happen
after so much loss and show them that there is hope.
Artist walking.
There we go.
(MUSIC STARTS)
# You remember me
# When the west wind moves
# Upon the fields of barley
# You'll forget the sun
# In his jealous sky
# As we walk in fields of gold #
Beautiful. Yeah.
# So she took her love For to gaze a while
# Upon the fields of barley
# In his arms she fell as her hair came down
# Among the fields of gold
# And I, I've never made promises lightly
# And there have been some that I've broken
Really good! # But I swear in the days still left
She's good. # We'll walk in fields of gold
# We'll walk in fields of gold #
(CHEERING)
That was beautiful. That was.
That was really, really, really beautiful.
Thank you.
Please tell us what is your name and where are you from?
I'm Candice. I'm 37 and I'm from the Northern Rivers, New South Wales.
Candice.
I found that performance stunning.
Found it beautiful.
You've got such a hauntingly beautiful voice
and just paired up with that song. It was incredible.
These are your kids and your husband.
My daughter, my son and my husband.
Look, our teams are full. Yeah, I bet.
That that's the only reason I didn't turn.
But that was one of my favorite performances.
Honestly, it was beautiful. Thank you.
Really good.
Candice, you sang that song so beautifully.
Thank you. It was just so sweet.
Nerve-wracking. Yeah, of course it is.
I'm really intrigued to know, has music always been a part of you?
It's always been a part of my life.
Just writing and really just getting feelings out
and processing big moments in life.
And we had one of those big moments in this last year.
We lost our home in the floods, in the February floods.
So heartbreaking to hear that, you know,
that you lost you lost a lot and so many out there
lost so much too and still kind of struggling today.
I think, you know, there's so many families and mob
that, you know, still don't have houses.
Yeah. There's still many people that are going through it.
But, you know, we're pressing on. We're getting through. Yeah.
Look, that performance was incredible to see, no doubt.
Yeah. Again, you know, that one spot had me thinking
of all the people that are on my team already.
So you go a little bit loopy at this point.
But despite that, I think your message is really important
and letting the country know
that everyone in that position right now
is still struggling and needs a lot of help.
And I thank you for really shedding light on that.
Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you all so much.
Come on through.
I'm so sorry to hear. That's... That's so tough.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I've got a heart for that region. I love that region.
So yeah, please send my love. Thank you so much.
Gonna give her a cuddle? Go give her a cuddle!
Great job, babe.
(INDISTINCT CHAT)
VOICEOVER: Coming up, there's only one spot left on Team Jess.
All I ever want to do is sing.
I think this is my opportunity to prove what I can do.
Who knows if I'm going to be good enough?
There's no biscuit without the risk-it.
VOICEOVER: Who will it be?
I was waiting for this moment, and I got it.
# This is The Voice #
I'm just a person that works in construction,
skates around and screams at the top of her lungs
in hopes that someone's going to think it sounds good.
All right, let's go.
I'm Chloe Thompson, I'm 29,
and I'm from Wollongong, New South Wales.
# Here we go ! #
I work at a steel factory,
drive forklifts, load trucks, do the construction things really.
I like driving a crane because I kind of feel like a boss.
And I taught myself to sing over the motor
and I could be as loud and feral as I wanted to be.
I started skating about two years ago.
# Sun's out I'm chillin' with the... #
Part of the process with my skating is putting my headphones in
and being able to just zone out into music.
I feel free when I skate.
I feel like nothing else matters. Nothing exists.
I forget everything and anything and I can just be myself.
I get similar feelings when I sing,
I feel like I just get lost within music.
The song that I'm singing for my blind audition is a bit of
an iconic banger, back in the 70s,
so I thought why not have a crack?
(ROCK SONG)
Everything could go wrong with this song.
I could forget the lyrics and fall completely out of whack.
Or I could just get complete nerves and just choke.
But I am going to try and have the most fun ever.
And that's it.
Artist walking.
(MUSIC STARTS)
# Oh, my little pretty one My pretty one
# When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
# Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
# Gun it coming off of the line, Sharona
# Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
# I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
# My, my, my, I, yi, whoo
# M-m-m-my Sharona
# M-m-m-my
# Come a little closer, huh, will ya, huh?
# Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona
# Keeping it a mystery
# It gets to me
# Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
# Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
# I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
# My, my, my, I, yi, whoo
# M-m-m-my Sharona
Oh!
# M-m-m-my Sharona
# A-oooh...
# My Sharona
# Oooh, whoo-oh
# My Sharona #
(CHEERING)
Wow! What is your name? Where are you from?
I would love to know everything.
My name is Chloe. I'm 29 and I'm from the Gong.
Wollongong. Hey!
Yo!
I mean, is this a full-time job for you?
Is singing a full-time thing for you?
I sing in my bedroom.
Yeah, I sing to the mirrors, the walls.
Yeah. OK.
The bed. Yeah.
Love that.
But yeah, I would say, you know, keep singing, you know?
You know, I think you have a beautiful vibrato.
That was my favorite part about your voice.
This is an amazing stage to be on, obviously.
And the, you know, millions of people have just seen you.
Thank you. Keep at it. Absolutely.
You're shredded, dude. Yeah!
I'm just going to say, are you a personal trainer or something?
No, I drive cranes and rollerblade.
You rollerblade? Yeah.
Awesome. I've got to say, I love the tone of your voice
when you have that kind of crunch to your voice.
The only problem with that song is I think
there's 2 or 3 notes in total because in the verses like,
"da-da-da-da-da da,
da-da da, da-da-da-da-da-da da
daa da-dada."
It's, like, I think as an audition song,
it's really hard to showcase what you do in two notes.
But I will say, even through that song,
you did such a good job of making it dynamic and rocky.
Your rhythm is awesome. You were right on the rhythm.
Really good. Yeah. Amazing.
So nice to meet you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Give me a hug. Don't squeeze too tight.
Don't squeeze too tight!
Good job.
What exactly are you looking for?
What am I looking for? I'm looking for...
Oh, man.
You're looking for a unicorn.
I'm looking for the unicorn.
Yes, I'm looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow.
# Outside I can't fight
# My fear
# Isn't it lovely
# All alone, heart made of glass
# My mind of stone #
I think control is everything.
Showing off those highs and those lows takes a lot more practice.
I think you're so good.
Just keep running it and keep practicing.
# Somethin' about you
# Like a dangerous woman
# Somethin' about, somethin' about you
# I wanna do things that I shouldn't #
I heard that you're a little bit shaky.
A little bit of a pitch thing that was happening.
And so I think that's kind of what made me not turn around.
Jess. Yes.
How long are you going to take? Seriously.
I know! Sorry! I'm being picky.
I think we've seen the whole of Australia at this point.
You know, like, oh my gosh.
I mean, we're here for you. Thank you.
You know, we're all here... We're all here for you.
You know...
# This is The Voice #
I was singing one day and then mum's friend
turned around and said to her,
"Wow, that's not normal for someone who's four
to be able to sing that well, you have to put her into singing."
And it all started there.
I feel like that's what I was born to do.
To sing.
I feel at ease when I'm singing.
Like, I feel like I'm kind of like floating.
It's like my special place, my sacred place,
and it's how I get my emotions out.
Whenever I'm upset, I kind of just sing.
I'm feeling the pressure because I really want to turn a chair.
This is the biggest thing I've ever done.
Let's go, Jess. Jason!
(UNCLEAR) Let's hope this is it, Jess.
Oh, not you too, Rita.
Take your time, Jess. Don't listen to them.
You take your time. You build your team.
(MUSIC STARTS)
# I
# I wish you could swim
# Like the dolphins
# Like dolphins can swim
# Though nothing
# Nothing will keep us together
# We can beat them Oh, Jess, turn!
She's great. # For ever and ever
# We can be heroes
# Just for one day
Yeah!
# Oh, I
# I will be queen
# And you
# You will be king
# Though nothing
# Nothing will drive them away
# Oh, we can be heroes
# Just for one day
# We can be heroes
# For one day
# We can be heroes # Okay!
# For one day #
(WILD CHEERING)
What!
Nice!
Hi! Wait! Thank you.
Wait. Hello. Hi.
Can I just say that was the most perfect audition
I have ever seen on this show? Thank you so much.
What is your name? Where are you from? Who are you?
My name is Nenah Jones. I'm 18 years old and I'm from Melbourne.
Okay, Nenah!
Okay, Nenah. Okay. Hitting your high notes.
Amazing. Thank you.
You did the impossible because she wouldn't turn for anybody else.
Yeah, it took a while. I wasn't turning for anybody.
I was waiting for this moment, and I got it!
(CHEERING)
Man, you've got guts, that rendition and the way that
you brought that song to life that way, that was just iconic.
Thank you so much.
You just sing from the heart. It was raw, it was so angelic.
I mean, your voice is so pure
and you were totally submerged into the song.
And I literally felt that in the whole room.
You had the whole room with you and the whole nation with you.
And that's epic for me. Thank you so much.
I mean, I want to know everything about you.
Why this song? What's the song mean to you?
I decided to sing this song today...
It's for my brother, who's on the side there.
And he was diagnosed with cancer last year.
And he's my hero and that's what the song means to me.
And he's amazing.
Nenah, can I take a second?
What was your name, by the way? I didn't get your name.
Marcus. Marcus.
We're all behind you, man. We're all here for you.
And standing with you.
And it's so great that you're going through what you're going through,
but you're standing here supporting your sister.
That is awesome, dude. Really, really cool.
So family is everything and you guys get to support through
the highs and lows and everything in between.
So well done and well done, Nenah.
Wow, that was beautiful.
Thank you so much.
Well, I was also really touched by that performance.
I'm just sorry that I don't have any more slots left because
I would have definitely turned pretty early on.
We all would. Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you. So this is a figurative four-chair turn.
Yes! Thank you so much.
Who's it going to be? Who's it going to be!
I feel like... Who's it going to be?
It's me! Is it me?
Jess!
I was going to pick you anyway. You're my number one!
No!
Thank you so much.
Well done, Nenah. You did it!
Well done. Wow.
Wow! Thank you.
Just acknowledge that you did this and family did this and that support
and that love and just sit in it and embrace it.
Thank you so much!
I can't believe it. You just completed Team Jess.
Oh, my God. I've been waiting for you.
Oh, my God. It's such a pleasure.
Oh, lovely to have meet you. Thank you.
And I'm sure I'll see you. I'll see you guys again.
Yeah, go and celebrate. Go and share that moment.
You did it, guys. You did it!
Team Jess is officially full!
Which means
the Blinds, season 12, 2023, is over!
(CHEERING)
Yeah!
Another one!
