00:00:00Previously on The Voice
00:00:08The first two rounds of battles
00:00:10That was amazing, so proud of you guys
00:00:12Saw some artists succeed
00:00:14You've done it, you've won the battle
00:00:16You're going to the knockouts
00:00:18And some rescued
00:00:22As Guy
00:00:23You've been saved, Jamie!
00:00:25Kate
00:00:26Double save!
00:00:27I do believe you can do it
00:00:29And Leanne
00:00:30You have been saved!
00:00:31Use their power to save
00:00:34Tonight
00:00:35It's the final night of the battles
00:00:38And Adam is the only coach
00:00:40With a save up his sleeve
00:00:42Wait a minute
00:00:43So for the remaining artists
00:00:45It's do or die
00:00:47With only one second chance left in play
00:00:51The stakes
00:00:52Let's go!
00:00:53Have never been higher
00:00:55Half of us are going home
00:00:56And I'm going to do everything in my power
00:00:58To make sure that is not the case
00:01:01I know there's going to be fireworks
00:01:03Girl, I'm going to have to sing my face off
00:01:08As the battles reach
00:01:10So you are definitely withdrawing from the competition
00:01:14A jaw-dropping climax
00:01:17You've been doing this show for ages, Guy
00:01:19Has this ever happened before?
00:01:21Never, no
00:01:29For one final night
00:01:31It is time to battle
00:01:33And up first
00:01:34It's team Leanne's turn
00:01:36To hit the battle arena
00:01:45Okay
00:01:47So my next pairing
00:01:49Is Ruben
00:01:51Come on up!
00:01:53I used my ultimate block for Ruben and the Blinds
00:01:55Because I didn't want anybody else to have him
00:01:58I mean, his voice is just so stunning
00:02:15I work FIFO, work on the mines
00:02:17My family is the reason I live
00:02:19I don't want to be working in the mines forever
00:02:21This could allow me to make music my full time
00:02:24My full time job
00:02:26And
00:02:29Larissa
00:02:30Oh my god
00:02:31Yes!
00:02:34Yeah
00:02:35So I'm up against Larissa
00:02:37And I'm feeling a little bit nervous
00:02:39Because she's got this amazing classical voice
00:02:55And I just play an old guitar and sing
00:02:58And so I'm wondering
00:03:01How we're going to gel together
00:03:03So the reason I paired you two together
00:03:05Larissa, you are completely classically trained
00:03:07And so stunningly so
00:03:09And then Ruben, you're completely self-taught
00:03:11You're so very different from different sides of the spectrum
00:03:14So I think it'll be this really interesting mix
00:03:16Yeah
00:03:17Ruben got a very unique voice
00:03:21And his manner of singing is completely different from mine
00:03:26That means someone has to adjust
00:03:30Or compromise a little bit of their own uniqueness
00:03:33To make this duet work
00:03:35I have chosen a song that I think you both
00:03:38Would sound so incredible on, Hallelujah
00:03:42I think, yeah, it's going to be so rich
00:03:45And passionate and angelic
00:03:47All the different layers I think you both bring to this
00:03:50You will be playing your instruments
00:03:52So, yeah, it's going to be really magical
00:03:54Yes, okay
00:03:56I'm a classically trained singer
00:03:58And pop music, it's out of my comfort zone
00:04:02That means it's tough competition for me
00:04:20Ruben has so much more power and depth in his voice
00:04:25Than actually what he's even letting out
00:04:27Just when you think about the song
00:04:29And that cry that you have in your voice
00:04:31Just like open that up more
00:04:33It's like this tension that happens with you
00:04:35And it's just like relaxing and like opening
00:04:38I'm really trying to get him to open that up more
00:04:41So that nice round sound that he has
00:04:44Can really shine through
00:04:49Somebody who's seen the light
00:04:52It's a cold and it's a very broken
00:04:56Hallelujah
00:04:59I'm trying to sing this song in the lower key
00:05:02Hallelujah
00:05:04But it doesn't work
00:05:07Ruben's got a very rich, colourful voice
00:05:10I have to decide what can I do
00:05:13To make this song work for both of us
00:05:16He sings so beautifully that I don't want to interrupt
00:05:18Oh, no, please, please, please
00:05:20I'm just trying to find my little niche
00:05:23Yeah, I think Larissa probably feels
00:05:25A little bit out of her element
00:05:27With Ruben in the mix
00:05:29The beginning of the song
00:05:30There's a real delicate balance for you
00:05:32Between power and that delicate, like
00:05:34Angelic piece of you, so
00:05:36I'm wondering if, Larissa, you don't jump up to
00:05:39Hallelujah
00:05:42Hallelujah
00:05:44It's like he's kind of the earth god
00:05:46And you're like the angel
00:05:47And it's like this beautiful mix of the two
00:05:50You've got such a good high range
00:05:51You've got such a beautiful voice up there
00:05:52Okay
00:05:53Yeah
00:05:54I think that's really one of her biggest challenges
00:05:56Is just to find the moments
00:05:58Where she can really step out and shine
00:06:00And then find the way to, like
00:06:02Blend her voice, like, with his
00:06:05It's really important that you two work together
00:06:07Especially since you come from both different styles
00:06:09A lot of practice
00:06:10Yeah, it will be practice
00:06:12But you guys can pull it off, absolutely
00:06:16To the star
00:06:19Battling Larissa
00:06:21It's like battling a force of nature
00:06:23It's got that angelic voice
00:06:25It's like you're fighting the heavens
00:06:27I think I need to sing my heart out
00:06:29And give it my ultimate everything
00:06:31Heaven's got a hold on us
00:06:33I never thought I would be paired with Ruben
00:06:36Because we are very different
00:06:38Two opposites can be a good thing
00:06:41But if we not work together
00:06:44And communicate through the music together
00:06:47It's not going to sound good
00:06:50Nothing's got a hold on
00:06:53Nothing's got a hold on me
00:07:09In her heart there was a secret call
00:07:13And I didn't know that it would waste our love
00:07:17But you don't really care for music, do you?
00:07:25There goes my coach
00:07:27The father of faith
00:07:29The minor fall
00:07:31And the major lift
00:07:33The baffled king composing
00:07:36Alleluia
00:07:40Alleluia
00:07:43Alleluia
00:07:47Alleluia
00:07:51Alleluia
00:08:04Baby, there's a God above
00:08:07But all I ever learned from love
00:08:11Is you've got to shoot somebody
00:08:14Well, tonight
00:08:17Tonight
00:08:19Tonight there's a cry that you hear at night
00:08:22It's not somebody who's seen the light
00:08:26It's the cool breeze that keeps moving
00:08:29Alleluia
00:08:31Alleluia
00:08:33Alleluia
00:08:37Alleluia
00:08:40Alleluia
00:08:44Alleluia

00:08:56Alleluia
00:08:58Alleluia
00:09:00Alleluia
00:09:06Alleluia
00:09:13Yay!
00:09:27Wow, Leanne. That was stupidly good.
00:09:31Ah!
00:09:36Reuben and Larissa.
00:09:39Oh, my goodness. What a beautiful performance.
00:09:43Kate, who moved you the most in that performance?
00:09:47I think I was moved by the fact that
00:09:50there were these two pieces of a puzzle
00:09:53that don't seem to fit together,
00:09:55and then all of a sudden they did.
00:09:57They really did, and that was no mean feat.
00:10:01Thanks, Kate.
00:10:03It's been a pleasure working with Larissa.
00:10:09Adam, are you starting to feel threatened by Leanne's team at all?
00:10:13In the spirit of this friendly competition, yes.
00:10:16I mean, she's got some great singers.
00:10:18These two, you both have God-given talents.
00:10:21Some beautiful things that were happening on that stage.
00:10:23Actually, the most moved that I was
00:10:25was the first chorus that you sang together.
00:10:27Just the blend of your two voices,
00:10:29the harmony was so locked in, it was so beautiful.
00:10:32I had chills. It was really stunning.
00:10:34Thanks, Adam.
00:10:35Thanks, Adam.
00:10:36Man, Reuben, I think you could win this thing.
00:10:38I don't know, I can't wait to hear you sing more.
00:10:43That's how I feel about it.
00:10:45I mean, geez, the level on this show just went up
00:10:49a whole lot of notches.
00:10:51Yeah.
00:10:56Hands down, my favourite battle.
00:10:58Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
00:11:01Reuben, I agree with Adam.
00:11:03You're next level.
00:11:05You're on a whole other thing.
00:11:07I definitely think...
00:11:09If you're not at the final, I'll be pretty shocked.
00:11:12You're a beast.
00:11:13Cheers, thank you.
00:11:16I can't get the smile off my face.
00:11:18I just...
00:11:19I was holding my breath the whole time in the best of ways
00:11:22and you really supported each other to work
00:11:25to create a moment.
00:11:27It wasn't about just singing a song.
00:11:29You guys created a moment.
00:11:30Like a special moment.
00:11:36God, this is one of the hardest decisions I have to make
00:11:39because I love you both so, so much.
00:11:44My heart, my heart.
00:11:46So...
00:11:50My decision on who to take through.
00:12:00Is Reuben.
00:12:04Congratulations, Reuben.
00:12:07Thank you so much.
00:12:08Really appreciate it.
00:12:09You're going ahead to the knockout.
00:12:11Thank you so much.
00:12:12Really appreciate you all.
00:12:16That was incredible.
00:12:17So proud of you all.
00:12:19So, so good.
00:12:20Yeah.
00:12:21Good job.
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:24Oh, but Larissa, unfortunately you are at risk of going home
00:12:28unless one of the coaches saves you.
00:12:33Coaches, if you want to save Larissa,
00:12:36then press your button now.
00:12:44Unfortunately, there is no save tonight, Larissa.
00:12:48Unfortunately, there is no save tonight, Larissa.
00:12:53We want to thank you very much for sharing your talent with us.
00:12:57It was absolutely mind-blowing.
00:13:00Everybody, please, please, put your hands together for Larissa.
00:13:09That was incredible.
00:13:11So, so beautiful.
00:13:12Thank you very much for sharing your gift.
00:13:15When we return, it's Team Adam's turn to hit the Battle Arena.
00:13:20You don't want to miss it.
00:13:37Welcome back to the Voice Battle Arena.
00:13:40Up next, it's Adam's fiery soul singers.
00:13:44And to put them to the test,
00:13:46he handed them a song from none other than the Queen of Soul herself.
00:13:51That's right.
00:13:59I really love mentoring.
00:14:00I like creating a safe space that allows the artists to explore the songs.
00:14:05They feel comfortable.
00:14:07And sometimes it's just about reinforcement.
00:14:09And encouragement.
00:14:10You know, we all tend to get in our heads,
00:14:12and sometimes you just need someone to go,
00:14:14no, no, no, that was great.
00:14:15I think that's a big part of what I can bring to the table.
00:14:18All right, the next battle pairing is...
00:14:22First...
00:14:24Quincy.
00:14:28You ready?
00:14:29Ready.
00:14:30Are we warm? Have we had our tea?
00:14:32No, but it's okay.
00:14:35It's early.
00:14:37And against Quincy will be...
00:14:41Chloe.
00:14:48Chloe and Quincy both sort of occupy the same lane.
00:14:52They're both soul singers.
00:14:53Self-admitted soul lovers.
00:14:56They're both sassy.
00:14:57They both got attitude.
00:14:59They're both confident.
00:15:00But their voices are different.
00:15:01They have different strengths.
00:15:02How do you feel about being paired together?
00:15:04Look, you're an amazing singer, so...
00:15:07So are you.
00:15:08So, girl, I'm going to have to sing my face off.
00:15:12Chloe has that old-school soul.
00:15:16It's the way she delivers that vibrato.
00:15:19The precision of her runs and her composure.
00:15:35Oh, no, no.
00:15:37I'm a little bit more all over the place.
00:15:41No, I'm not scared at all.
00:15:42There's a lot of energy, confidence, sass from both of us.
00:15:45Your voice is incredible, so it's nerve-wracking, actually.
00:15:49It's done.
00:15:50Quincy really owns the stage.
00:15:52He is a diva through and through.
00:15:54He can do some incredible runs.
00:16:04Stronger and stronger
00:16:10I am a little more understated than Quincy,
00:16:13so it's going to be interesting to see
00:16:15what direction this song takes.
00:16:17So the song that I'm giving you today
00:16:20is by the one and only Aretha Franklin.
00:16:23Ooh!
00:16:24Chain of Fools.
00:16:25Ooh!
00:16:26Yes.
00:16:27Wow.
00:16:28Yeah, yeah.
00:16:29I can embody that song because I've dated many a...
00:16:31Many a fool?
00:16:32Many a liar.
00:16:34I've got a lot of chains in my wardrobe, so...
00:16:38Not an easy song.
00:16:39Take on Aretha, you've got to have some chops to do that.
00:16:42And they both have chops.
00:16:45You know, obviously it's a battle,
00:16:46but if it's going to work best is if you work together as a team.
00:16:50That's where it's going to put you both in the best light.
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:53Two big personalities tackling a big song can work.
00:16:58And the magic word is respect.
00:17:04I thought you were my man
00:17:09But I found out
00:17:13I'm just a link in your chain
00:17:16Quincy gets excited and does a lot,
00:17:20and sometimes it might serve him better to do less.
00:17:23Your runs are wild,
00:17:26but don't run away with them too far.
00:17:28Like, if they're too intricate,
00:17:30sometimes they can kind of get...
00:17:32Jumbled, you know what I mean?
00:17:34Quincy, as a performer, is a very big vocalist
00:17:37who likes to do a lot of tricks,
00:17:39but I think my tone is a bit more rich,
00:17:41a bit more just kind of effortless.
00:17:55I'm all for frenetic energy,
00:17:57but they definitely need to work together
00:18:00for this battle to work for either of them.
00:18:02Don't do the thing where you're ad-libbing over each other.
00:18:04Like, you do it, you do it.
00:18:06Give yourself clear space so you don't have to, like, stress.
00:18:09They need to make sure that they leave room for each other to shine.
00:18:13I think not only is that sort of the respectful way to go about it,
00:18:17but also, like, at the end of the day,
00:18:19we don't want to see someone steamrolling over another singer.
00:18:22You both are strong, and you both have your strengths,
00:18:25and it's like, how do you find that middle ground?
00:18:29I know there's going to be fireworks.
00:18:31Can't wait to see what you bring to the stage.
00:18:34I'm excited. I need popcorn for this.
00:18:38I really want this win.
00:18:41I believe I deserve a spot in this competition,
00:18:43and I'm going to do everything I can.
00:18:45I'm going to pull out so many tricks.
00:18:47This is definitely not going to be the Quincy show.
00:18:50It's going to be the Chloe and Quincy show.
00:18:53Out of me and Chloe, well, I want to win bad girl.
00:18:57And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I do.
00:19:27Chain, chain, chain
00:19:29Chain, chain, chain
00:19:31Chain, chain, chain
00:19:33Chain, chain, chain
00:19:35Chain the fool
00:19:38For five long years
00:19:42I thought you were my man, yeah
00:19:46But I find out
00:19:50I'm just a link in your chain
00:19:55You got me where you want me
00:19:58I ain't nothing but your fool
00:20:03You're treating me mean
00:20:05No, no, no
00:20:07You're treating me cruel
00:20:11Chain, chain, chain
00:20:13Chain, chain, chain
00:20:15Chain the fool
00:20:17Chain the fool
00:20:19Chain, chain, chain
00:20:21Chain, chain, chain
00:20:23Chain the fool
00:20:29Now you told me to leave you alone
00:20:33My father said, come on home
00:20:37My doctor said, take it easy
00:20:41Oh, but your loving is just too strong
00:20:44I made it too long
00:20:46Chain, chain, chain
00:20:49Your chain of fools
00:20:53Oh, baby
00:20:57Chain the fool
00:21:10Chain, chain, chain
00:21:13Chain the fool
00:21:17Chain the fool
00:21:22Fools
00:21:53Kate, who do you think honoured the Soul Queen best?
00:21:58Chloe oozes that kind of music out of every pore.
00:22:02Like, this is right in the middle of your wheelhouse, isn't it?
00:22:05Yeah, definitely.
00:22:06Yeah, yeah.
00:22:07Having said that, I also couldn't take my eyes off Quincy
00:22:11and my cheeks were hurting because I kept smiling
00:22:14and also laughing, not laughing at you,
00:22:16but just laughing with joy at those dance moves
00:22:20and that funny...
00:22:22at the end.
00:22:23That was so good.
00:22:24Squelching.
00:22:25Squelching, scream belting.
00:22:28Love it.
00:22:30Leanne, who stood out in the battle for you?
00:22:33I enjoyed both of you so very much.
00:22:36For me, Chloe's voice is just absolutely stunning
00:22:39and so for me, because of that reason only, thank you.
00:22:43But I love you.
00:22:46I think Adam's got a tough job though
00:22:48because when I think about it,
00:22:50I feel like that was really well catered to Quincy,
00:22:53but I don't think Chloe had her moment.
00:22:58I knew Quincy was doing a lot
00:23:00and so I didn't want to do a lot too just to match him,
00:23:02just to go, look what I can do too.
00:23:04For me, it's I'm going to serve the song,
00:23:06I'm going to keep it down here
00:23:07and if he wants to go up here, that's fine, let him do that,
00:23:09but I'm not going to essentially do something
00:23:12just because I feel I need to prove a point.
00:23:14This is who I am and I agree,
00:23:16I don't feel I had the moment to shine, but yeah.
00:23:19I see that too.
00:23:22Now that you say that, I completely agree
00:23:24and I'm proud of you for staying in that lane.
00:23:27It's really good.
00:23:28It's interesting because they both have different strengths
00:23:31and I'm so proud of both of you.
00:23:33There's different elements here.
00:23:34Quincy, I love how much of a showman you are.
00:23:37You are wild, you are untamed,
00:23:39you have a lot of fire in your belly.
00:23:41You do have star potential and I love that.
00:23:44Yeah.
00:23:46Chloe, the thing that I love about you
00:23:48is that you didn't have to do everything.
00:23:50If you look back at a lot of Aretha Franklin performances,
00:23:54she was kind of unbothered and still singing her face off,
00:23:57but there was an element of sitting back
00:23:59and just being like, yes, and, this is who I am.
00:24:02Yeah, exactly.
00:24:03And I think that you embody that approach naturally
00:24:07and this is not an easy decision
00:24:08because you're both incredible singers.
00:24:10You're both incredible singers.
00:24:25This is heartbreaking.
00:24:26You're both fabulous.
00:24:28But if I have to choose one artist who won this battle...
00:24:46This is heartbreaking.
00:24:47You're both fabulous.
00:24:49But if I have to choose one artist who won this battle...
00:24:54that artist would be Chloe.
00:24:57Congratulations, Chloe.
00:25:00I'm so grateful to have you as a coach.
00:25:03Chloe K, going through the battles.
00:25:05Well done.
00:25:15Chloe K, going through the battles.
00:25:16Well done.
00:25:17Well done.
00:25:18Make some noise for Queen C, everyone.
00:25:23Well done, Queen C, you killed it.
00:25:25I'm so proud of you.
00:25:27You killed it.
00:25:28Keep going, keep going.
00:25:30You're fantastic.
00:25:41All right, are you ready for the next battle?
00:25:44Kind of.
00:25:45This battle is between my lovely, smiley busker, Tia.
00:25:48Come up here.
00:25:49Join me at the piano.
00:25:51And your battles opponent.
00:25:55And the sheep farmer, Elias.
00:26:00Unexpected.
00:26:01Oh my God.
00:26:03I put Tia and Elias together because they both have this beautiful,
00:26:07straightforward quality to their voices.
00:26:11And they're not trying to be anyone else.
00:26:13They each have their own style, and I think that comes through
00:26:16beautifully in their vocal delivery.
00:26:18I tried, tried to find the other life, but it's not time.
00:26:23Please don't leave me in the air.
00:26:29Yeah, yeah.
00:26:32If you're leaving me now, all the storms will roll.
00:26:41He's got a good voice.
00:26:42So do you.
00:26:43Bloody hell.
00:26:46And I'm really intrigued to hear you both sing together.
00:26:50The song that I have decided to give Tia and Elias is Fields of Gold
00:26:54by Sting.
00:26:56In his jealous sky, I'm on the field of gold.
00:27:03That's all right.
00:27:04That's good.
00:27:05It's not a song I'm familiar with, so I don't know the melody,
00:27:07I don't know the lyrics, I don't know the timing.
00:27:09As the sun goes down.
00:27:12I live on my family farm, and I'm a fourth-generation farmer.
00:27:16The rasp in my voice, like the bit of gravelliness,
00:27:19probably comes from sort of just yelling at sheep and dogs all day
00:27:23on the farm, I'd assume.
00:27:24To nail this song, I'll have to really push my vocals to the limit,
00:27:29to stand out above Tia and grab people's attention.
00:27:34The artist that's going to win this battle is the artist that shows me
00:27:39the deepest connection to this song.
00:27:42I want to see beauty, and I want to be moved.
00:27:52I do know this song.
00:27:53The old man has played it a couple of times in the workshop on the farm.
00:27:57My biggest concern with this song is not being able to change up
00:28:00my voice enough to actually be able to stand out above Tia.
00:28:05To nail this song, I'll have to really push my vocals to the limit.
00:28:12I really want to win this battle.
00:28:15To make it into the top seven of Kate's team would be
00:28:19absolutely phenomenal.
00:28:22It's go-go time.
00:28:26Not quite ready to go back to the farm.
00:28:29This journey's only just started.
00:28:32I want to make sure that I can get through to that next round.
00:29:03Among the fields of barley
00:29:08You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
00:29:14When he walked and failed to go
00:29:19So she took her love for to gaze awhile
00:29:25Among the fields of barley
00:29:30Any song she found
00:29:33As her hair came down
00:29:36As you lie in fields of gold
00:29:42I've never made promises lightly
00:29:48There have been some that I've broken
00:29:53I swear in the days still left
00:29:57When walking fields are gone
00:30:02When walking fields are gone
00:30:07Many years have passed
00:30:10Since those summer days
00:30:13Among the fields of barley
00:30:18See the children run
00:30:21As the sun goes down
00:30:24As you lie in fields of gold
00:30:29When we walk in fields of gold
00:30:52Just exquisite.
00:30:54I think what Kate did was such an outstanding job
00:30:58of handing you this incredible song
00:31:01to just, I guess, showcase what matters with you two,
00:31:04which is just the beauty of your voices.
00:31:07I feel like that was just genius,
00:31:09just to actually strip everything back
00:31:11so that we could hone in on that.
00:31:15Who's better?
00:31:18Really hard with this one.
00:31:20It's a matter of what you're looking for.
00:31:21I think, Elias, you've got this really immediate voice
00:31:24that's really current.
00:31:25Tia, just beautiful.
00:31:27I don't know. I'm sorry.
00:31:30Well, that's helpful. Thanks.
00:31:34Look, I'm so proud of you both.
00:31:36That was really, really moving.
00:31:38I think the two of you worked so beautifully
00:31:40and so generously together.
00:31:42Tia, you had this beautiful centeredness,
00:31:45this calm stillness, and I feel like you connected
00:31:48with the song really, really beautifully.
00:31:50Whereas Elias, I think you started off completely open,
00:31:55completely green, and then grew so much through this process.
00:31:59You've won me over.
00:32:00I think you're incredible.
00:32:05One artist can win this battle.
00:32:09Who is it going to be?
00:32:19I don't want to make this decision.
00:32:21It's so hard.
00:32:22I have to.
00:32:23It's so hard.
00:32:25The artist who won the battle for me tonight is...
00:32:46..Elias.
00:32:54Congratulations, Elias.
00:32:56You are going through to the knockouts.
00:32:58You've won the battle tonight.
00:33:01We look forward to seeing you in the knockout.
00:33:06Knocked it out of the park.
00:33:08Congratulations.
00:33:09So great.
00:33:13Thank you so much, Tia. Thank you.
00:33:24More epic performances still to come,
00:33:26and next it's round two for Team Adam.
00:33:29Don't miss it.
00:33:47Next up is...
00:33:51..Lana.
00:33:55And your opponent...
00:33:57Yeah?
00:33:58Are you ready?
00:34:01Tom.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:07Here we go.
00:34:11Lana and Tom, they're both strong,
00:34:14and they're both totally different from each other.
00:34:18Lana's very free-spirited.
00:34:21She knows her voice.
00:34:24She's got some experience,
00:34:26which you can feel when she sings.
00:34:32Tom sang Somebody to Love
00:34:34during the Blind Auditions by Queen.
00:34:39What really impressed me about Tom
00:34:41was he had all this kind of grit in the vocal that he did,
00:34:44and I was actually really, really refreshed by that.
00:34:46So my thought process behind pairing the two of you together
00:34:49is you're both experienced live performers.
00:34:52Lana, you've worked as a background singer.
00:34:54Tom, you've busked like your life depended on it.
00:34:57This is sort of like an interesting pairing
00:34:59because I think you both have experience,
00:35:01but in sort of different avenues.
00:35:03I'm excited to sing with you.
00:35:05Yeah, very much.
00:35:06But don't sing too good.
00:35:10It is a battle after all. Yeah.
00:35:12I'm so scared to battle against Tom.
00:35:15He is such an incredible performer.
00:35:17He's got such a powerful voice.
00:35:19That tone is so thick and lush,
00:35:22and it's just there.
00:35:25As a professional singer,
00:35:27I feel like I have a reputation to, like, uphold.
00:35:30So I chose a song by Sir Elton John...
00:35:36..called Benny and the Jets.
00:35:38Oh, my gosh.
00:35:40Any other Elton John song would have been better than this.
00:35:44I've tried it a few times,
00:35:46and I've just never been able to nail Benny and the Jets properly.
00:36:00I'm not used to the rhythm in the verses.
00:36:02It's a whole new ballgame.
00:36:09Tom was sort of doubting himself.
00:36:11I think his challenge is just to get comfortable and confident.
00:36:14I know he's capable of killing this song.
00:36:17I think knowing that you play piano,
00:36:20I would vote to have you play this.
00:36:23Ooh!
00:36:25I mean, I'm struggling to sing it as is,
00:36:27and I'm just concerned that me sat behind the piano,
00:36:30I'm going to struggle being able to give it my all.
00:36:33Could be effective, could be kind of wild.
00:36:36I think maybe practising it first.
00:36:38Yeah, see what it feels like. Yeah, yeah.
00:36:40This is a battle, and only one of you can win.
00:36:43I'm just reminding you.
00:36:46Yeah, exactly.
00:36:48Gun time.
00:36:51But I think this is going to be a lot of fun,
00:36:53so just make sure you find a way to make this your own.
00:36:57That is the key to this one.
00:37:01I am shitting myself, to be honest.
00:37:06This is my last shot of the career of my dreams,
00:37:10so I need to bring everything I have to win this battle.
00:37:15Benny and the Jets, it's a big number.
00:37:18It's very intricate.
00:37:20It's not a song I'm comfortable or versed in.
00:37:24This is the battle, where you've got to go one-on-one.
00:37:27I want to give it my all,
00:37:29but if something goes wrong with me playing the piano,
00:37:32it's my head on the chopping block.
00:37:34CHEERING
00:37:40All right!
00:37:50Hey
00:37:53Hey, kids
00:37:55Shake your lips together
00:37:57The spotlight's hitting something
00:37:59That's been on a change of weather
00:38:01We'll kill no fat and calf tonight, so stick around
00:38:07You're going to hear electric music, silent on the sound
00:38:13Say, can you only have your sweet day
00:38:17Oh, but there's some sweet sound
00:38:20B-b-b-benny and the Jets
00:38:23Oh, but they are so weird and they're wonderful
00:38:27Oh, benny, and she's really cute
00:38:30She's got electric boots and more hair, so
00:38:34Though I read it in a magazine
00:38:38Oh
00:38:40B-b-b-benny and the Jets
00:38:43Let's go!
00:38:45Yeah, yeah
00:38:47Oh, benny
00:38:49Benny
00:38:50Benny
00:38:51Benny
00:38:52Benny
00:38:53Benny
00:38:54Benny and the Jets
00:38:58Whoa, whoa
00:39:02Oh, say, benny
00:39:03Benny
00:39:04Benny
00:39:05Benny
00:39:06Benny
00:39:07Benny
00:39:08Benny and the Jets
00:39:12Oh, benny
00:39:15B-b-b-benny and the Jets
00:39:17CHEERING
00:39:25Lana and Tom!
00:39:29Oh, yeah, raise the roof for that epic performance!
00:39:33Guy, who had you swinging your hips?
00:39:36Um, both at different times
00:39:38I was like, ooh, Lana's really killing it with the stage presence
00:39:43And then, like, to be honest, Tom
00:39:45I wasn't sure how you were going to go with, like, with the grind stuff
00:39:49And then
00:39:50Oh, baby
00:39:51And you killed it
00:39:52He was working it
00:39:55Woo!
00:40:00Leanne, what did you make of the performance?
00:40:02I enjoyed it, there's no question about that
00:40:04Tom, just to see this side of you, I really enjoyed
00:40:07Thank you
00:40:08It was nice to just see that you're game for, for whatever, which is awesome
00:40:11Yeah
00:40:12Anything goes
00:40:13Yeah
00:40:14Lana, like, I mean, you just have a presence, period, the end
00:40:18Like, it's just, it's a thing
00:40:20Kate, who took the win here?
00:40:23Both brilliant, you're both wonderful singers
00:40:25And that was so much fun to watch
00:40:27Tom, something about your slow vibrato and your tone
00:40:32Just made me go, ooh, like, what is that?
00:40:35I want to hear that more
00:40:37Thank you
00:40:38Yeah
00:40:39Thank you
00:40:42Adam, what were your thoughts on the battle?
00:40:44This is a, this is a tricky one for me
00:40:46Because if I rewind back to your blind auditions
00:40:50I have certain impressions of both of you
00:40:52And then when we got into mentoring with this song
00:40:54I saw different sides of both of you
00:40:56Tom, I think that, you know, you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone
00:41:00And it felt like you knew it
00:41:02Like the back of your hand by the time you got up there
00:41:04So, great job
00:41:06Thank you
00:41:08And Lana, with this, it always felt like I was like
00:41:12Okay, wait, I'm just waiting for her to do the, to take it there
00:41:16And something about the vibe of the song, or your vibe
00:41:20Something was making you go, no, this is the choice I'm going to make
00:41:23I'm going to drive the car this route to the finish line
00:41:27But that being said, it still sounded dope
00:41:30I mean, you still sounded cool
00:41:32And to be totally honest
00:41:34Lana has something that is so enigmatic
00:41:38And I think my curiosity is peaked slightly more in that direction
00:41:42Because I want to hear what else we got
00:41:45Thank you
00:41:46Adam, who has won this battle?
00:41:51It's hard
00:41:58The artist that had more dimension for me in possibility
00:42:07And who won this battle based on the bigger picture of it all
00:42:17That would have to be Lana
00:42:22Lana, congratulations
00:42:24You're going through to the knockout
00:42:27I'm extremely overwhelmed
00:42:29I feel like I don't want to let you down
00:42:32And thank you so much for believing in me
00:42:34Of course
00:42:35Lana, head on down there, go and see Adam
00:42:37Congratulations
00:42:39Lana will go through to the knockout
00:42:43You did a great job, great job
00:42:46Please put your hands together one last time for Tom
00:42:51Thank you guys
00:42:56Thank you
00:42:57Thank you, great work
00:42:59Thank you
00:43:03Still to come
00:43:07As the battles intensify
00:43:09Both of you are total powerhouse singers
00:43:12There's no question about that
00:43:14The coaches must make their toughest decisions
00:43:17It was so neck and neck
00:43:19It's like watching this race that was just
00:43:22But what will push Leanne to the breaking point?
00:43:25Hold on, hold on, hold on
00:43:27Where's she going?
00:43:29And later
00:43:30Alright, so this is unprecedented
00:43:32A jaw-dropping twist
00:43:35Has this ever happened before?
00:43:37Never
00:43:45This is The Voice
00:43:52This battle is between Ruby and Stephanie
00:43:58I'm very excited about Stephanie
00:44:00Her tone is different
00:44:01It sounds like her own thing
00:44:04Don't let me, don't let me, no
00:44:06No, no, no
00:44:08Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
00:44:11Ruby's got a brighter, sweet tone to her voice
00:44:15I can tell that she's a bit of a fighter
00:44:17Come on
00:44:18I am right here, right now
00:44:21I am right here, right now
00:44:23I am right here
00:44:26The song is Yes And by Ariana Grande
00:44:30Love
00:44:31Yes
00:44:32And
00:44:33Love
00:44:34Yo
00:44:35We have a very recent song
00:44:37It's a song by obviously an icon in the pop music
00:44:40Yes And is definitely a song about
00:44:42Fearlessness, attitude, being like, what?
00:44:45What?
00:44:46I got this
00:44:47It's not the kind of song you just stand there and sing
00:44:56Now we can take it up to the next level
00:45:01It's a big, big song
00:45:02It needs a lot of control
00:45:04And if I'm not bringing everything to the table
00:45:07Then there's a chance that I could be going home
00:45:10Ruby and I, our voices are very similar
00:45:13Both of us want to win
00:45:14So I really need to find a way to differentiate
00:45:17My voice to hers
00:45:20Without overdoing it
00:45:21Hey, boy, come on, put your lips together
00:45:26Come on, it'll work this way
00:45:28Through the fire
00:45:30And if you find yourself in a dark situation
00:45:34Just turn on your light
00:45:36And be like
00:45:39Yes
00:45:40Yes
00:45:41And
00:45:42Take your chance
00:45:46Be your own man
00:45:47Be your own, I said
00:45:49Be your own
00:45:50Stand on your chest
00:45:52People be like, what's next?
00:45:54Yes And
00:45:55Yes
00:45:57And
00:45:59Say that
00:46:02Be your own man
00:46:04Be your own, be your own
00:46:06Stand on your chest
00:46:08People be like, what's next?
00:46:10Yes And
00:46:11Yeah
00:46:13The vibes were good
00:46:14We love the good vibe
00:46:16I think you've both done an incredible job
00:46:18Taking this challenge on
00:46:20So the artist that I am going to put through
00:46:22From this battle is
00:46:29You, Steph
00:46:31Thank you so much
00:46:32Good job, nice work
00:46:34Nice work
00:46:35See you soon
00:46:36Yeah
00:46:44My next battle is between
00:46:46My beautiful singer, Nathra
00:46:49And my very connected performer, Fallon
00:46:55Fallon has an amazing ability
00:46:58To sing straight from the heart
00:47:15Nathra had a lot of nerves going on
00:47:17But underpinning that was this
00:47:19Beautiful, authentic realness to her voice
00:47:24There is nothing in the world
00:47:28There is no escape from love
00:47:33I'm nervous to be going up against Nathra
00:47:35Because she, like myself
00:47:37We really draw from that pool of emotions
00:47:39When we perform
00:47:40I think this song is going to draw out
00:47:42A lot of my journey
00:47:44Of going through a bit of a traumatic childhood
00:47:47It really is bringing out my true colours
00:47:49It is daunting to be put up against Fallon
00:47:52Because she is tough competition, let me say
00:47:54We both are emotional performers
00:47:57We carry a lot of baggage in our music
00:48:00And in our performances
00:48:02I want this so badly
00:48:04So I really need to fight
00:48:06To stay in this competition
00:48:10The song that I chose for Fallon and Nathra
00:48:13To sing together is
00:48:14True Colours by Cyndi Lauper
00:48:22I'm discouraged
00:48:23Oh, I realize
00:48:26It's hard to take courage
00:48:29In a world full of people
00:48:32You can lose sight of it all
00:48:35The darkness inside you
00:48:37Can make you feel so small
00:48:40But I see your true colours
00:48:43And that's why I love you
00:48:47So don't be afraid
00:48:49To let them show
00:48:52Your true colours
00:48:55Your true colours
00:48:57Your true colours
00:49:00Shining through
00:49:03I see your
00:49:06And that's why I love you
00:49:09So don't be afraid
00:49:12To let them show
00:49:15Your true colours
00:49:18Your true colours
00:49:21Beautiful
00:49:24Both of you are total powerhouse singers
00:49:27We all got a glimpse of both of your true colours with that song
00:49:30And you did an incredible job
00:49:32It was really moving
00:49:33Thank you
00:49:34But I can only take one of you through
00:49:36The artist who won the battle for me is
00:49:44Nathra
00:49:46Congratulations Nathra
00:49:48You've won the battle
00:49:49You're going through to the knockout
00:49:50Thank you so much Kate
00:50:01Coming up
00:50:02Wait a minute
00:50:04A save
00:50:05Oh my god
00:50:06A surprise
00:50:08I have a thought
00:50:09Hold on, hold on, hold on
00:50:11Where's she going?
00:50:13And the shock
00:50:15So you are withdrawing from the competition
00:50:33Welcome back to the non-stop action of the Voice Battle Arena
00:50:36Where the artists are duking it out
00:50:39To secure their spot in the knockout rounds
00:50:42And next to throw their artists into the ring
00:50:44Is coach Guy Sebastian
00:50:49Team Guy is very diverse
00:50:53I'm looking for more than just a singer
00:50:54I want someone unique who can use this voice platform
00:50:57To really forge a career
00:50:59Alright, up next
00:51:02We've got James
00:51:09Your battle partner
00:51:12Is Arthur
00:51:16Thank you
00:51:20Let's do it
00:51:21What terrifies me most about battling against Arthur
00:51:23I think is his confidence
00:51:25He seems like a very confident singer
00:51:27And it's intimidating
00:51:28The James Arthur duo
00:51:29Yeah
00:51:30The James Arthur duo
00:51:31I love that
00:51:32I kept singing a secret for a while
00:51:34Just because I wasn't confident in the fact that
00:51:36Someone like me could be a singer
00:51:38I always felt like I didn't have the potential
00:51:40Or I didn't have that courage to go up on stage and sing
00:51:44James is pretty amazing
00:51:46He has a very nuanced voice
00:51:48I'm very excited to work with him
00:51:50We do look very alike I feel
00:51:52Yeah
00:51:53We've got similar hairstyle
00:51:54I see it
00:51:55Yeah
00:51:56I paired Arthur and James together
00:51:58I feel like they occupy a similar space vocally
00:52:01James is a really current sounding pop vocalist
00:52:05He's very now, he's very contemporary
00:52:08I've come to do it with you watching me
00:52:13Oh wow
00:52:14This is never ending the way I've been here before
00:52:20I mean, come on
00:52:23And Arthur is my comeback kid
00:52:26He's already been here
00:52:28Didn't go to plan
00:52:29When I did the blind audition in season 11
00:52:33I didn't turn any chairs
00:52:35Coming back and being able to turn a chair
00:52:38Was the best feeling ever
00:52:41To say that I was wrong
00:52:49But this next bit is not going to be easy
00:52:52It will be just as challenging
00:52:54And I'm not taking it any less seriously
00:52:57Should we get to the song?
00:52:58Let's do it
00:52:59It's Tate McRae, You Broke Me First
00:53:03I'm not a pop singer
00:53:05I never have been
00:53:07This is not a song I would normally sing
00:53:09By any stretch
00:53:11This song is going to be more of a challenge than you think it is
00:53:15Even though it sounds simple
00:53:17It's so complex in the way she sings
00:53:19She puts a lot in a short amount of time
00:53:21Such a short amount
00:53:22It's so musical how she sings
00:53:24It's very creative
00:53:25Timing is everything in this song
00:53:29I do love this song
00:53:30I think it's different to what I sing
00:53:32I'm very much a ballad singer
00:53:33The timing on this song is very tough
00:53:35The verses, they're very fast
00:53:37There's a lot of lyrics in a short amount of time
00:53:56I'm feeling really overwhelmed
00:53:58There is a lot of words
00:54:01And I can't sing very quickly
00:54:05The secret to verses like this as well
00:54:07Is you don't sometimes have to say full words
00:54:14I didn't say like
00:54:15I just went like
00:54:16Don't feel like you've got to sing it so much
00:54:20Cut stuff short
00:54:21It'll help you heaps
00:54:23Technically this song is really difficult
00:54:26There's some really rhythmic fast bits in the verse
00:54:28With lots of lyrics
00:54:30Then there's some more spacious melodic moments
00:54:34To really nail this song
00:54:36You need musicality
00:54:38I actually love this for you guys
00:54:40It's going to make you think about singing differently
00:54:42It's going to make you think about approaching a song differently
00:54:45Obviously only one can win
00:54:47Let's give it everything, hey
00:54:49Fight for that knockout spot
00:54:55This song is definitely intimidating
00:54:57Because I think I'm already going to have difficulty
00:55:00With just the lyrics
00:55:03This song is definitely a challenge for me
00:55:05It's very much talk singing
00:55:07I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up
00:55:11To win this battle would be
00:55:13Just the next step in an already amazing experience
00:55:17I want to get through the knockouts
00:55:19And if I don't I will be devastated
00:55:24Only one person is going to be able to win this battle
00:55:26And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that's me
00:55:33Thank you
00:55:39Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself
00:55:42But you should have told me that you were thinking about someone else
00:55:46You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down
00:55:50Your phone hasn't been off for a couple of months
00:55:52So you're calling me now
00:55:54I know you, you're like this
00:55:57When things don't go your way you needed me to fix it
00:56:02And like me, I did
00:56:05But I ran out of every reason
00:56:10Now suddenly you're asking for a break
00:56:14Could you tell me where'd you get the nerve
00:56:18You can say you miss all that we had
00:56:22I don't really care how bad it hurts
00:56:25When you broke me first
00:56:29You broke me first
00:56:34I swear girl I was in denial when I first heard
00:56:38That you moved on quicker than you could have ever, you know that hurt
00:56:42I swear I would stare at my phone just to see your name
00:56:46But now that it's there I don't really know what to say
00:56:50I know you, you're like this
00:56:53When things don't go your way you needed me to fix it
00:56:58And like me, I did
00:57:01But I ran out of every reason
00:57:04Now suddenly you're asking for a break
00:57:08Could you tell me where'd you get the nerve
00:57:12You can say you miss all that we had
00:57:16I don't really care how bad it hurts
00:57:19When you broke me first
00:57:23You broke me first
00:57:27You broke me first
00:57:31Oh you did
00:57:34You broke me first
00:57:41Aww
00:57:43Cute
00:57:50James and Arthur everyone
00:57:53That was incredible guys, spectacular
00:57:57We'll get some help from the coaches
00:57:59Because this is going to be a tough call for you I'm sure
00:58:02Leanne, who would be your winner?
00:58:05I really enjoyed that, I think you guys both have cool voices
00:58:10James, I do love the tone of your voice
00:58:12The tone is really beautiful, you really, yeah
00:58:16Thank you so much
00:58:17There's this low, warm feeling that I get when you sing
00:58:22And Arthur, your voice, the sliding up into falsetto
00:58:26Back into chest is so effortless
00:58:30That was stunning
00:58:32Adam, who came out on top for you?
00:58:34I have to say, Arthur, you have such an interesting stage presence
00:58:38But I think you have a real star quality
00:58:40And I see that here today as well
00:58:43There's something about the way you carry yourself on stage
00:58:45Where it feels very sure
00:58:48And I thought your tone was really beautiful
00:58:50It was a really fluid sound
00:58:52And there's a lot of potential with you
00:58:54And I don't know what it is exactly
00:58:56Thank you
00:58:59Thank you Adam
00:59:00Well guys, the decision is yours
00:59:03So who won the battle?
00:59:05I think what we just saw shows just how difficult our job as coaches is
00:59:11It was so neck and neck
00:59:13It's like watching this race that was just, you know
00:59:17I think Arthur, you have this confidence
00:59:21And you do have this ability
00:59:23And this potential and musicality
00:59:26James, there's something super musical
00:59:29In the way that you sing, it's really pop
00:59:31It's like you think about every line
00:59:33I'm never bored
00:59:34Those little vibrato moments
00:59:36Those things just make me tune in to you singing lyrics
00:59:43The artist that I'll be taking through to the knockouts
00:59:59It is James
01:00:01Congratulations James
01:00:03Thank you so much
01:00:05You've won the battle
01:00:07You've been victorious
01:00:09You will go through
01:00:16Thank you so much
01:00:17Pleasure
01:00:18Thank you so much
01:00:19Pleasure
01:00:20Ladies and gents, give it up for James
01:00:24Arthur, is there anything that you could say right now
01:00:27To the coaches to convince them to take you through?
01:00:32Performing is my life
01:00:34And Adam, you saying that I have a unique stage presence
01:00:38Is something that I will genuinely hold in my heart
01:00:40For a very, very long time
01:00:44I have so much more still to show you
01:00:48So much more
01:00:50Make your decision
01:00:53James! James! James! James!
01:00:59Will you save Arthur?
01:01:04James! James! James! James!
01:01:07James! James! James! James!
01:01:14Unfortunately Arthur, you have not been saved in this instance
01:01:18It's been great having you on the show
01:01:20Thank you so much
01:01:22Put your hands together for Arthur everyone
01:01:26Wait a minute
01:01:36Alright
01:01:37Oh my god
01:01:42A late save from Adam Lambert
01:01:44That was so late in the game
01:01:47That was awful
01:01:48That is awful
01:01:49I wasn't sure, I wasn't sure
01:01:51I'm sorry
01:01:52You got it boy
01:01:53You're welcome
01:01:54It's gonna be fun, we'll have a good time
01:01:56I'm so excited
01:01:57You got it
01:02:01I'm so glad he did that
01:02:03Because honestly I was hoping that would happen with you
01:02:07I was flipping between every second line
01:02:10So just keep proving why, you know
01:02:14Thank you
01:02:17Arthur, you are now officially on team Adam
01:02:22I cannot thank Guy enough for what he gave me
01:02:25But I'm so excited to work with you Adam
01:02:27Your showmanship, the control that you have in your voice
01:02:30Is something that I really want to learn from
01:02:34Oh yay
01:02:35Thank you so much
01:02:36My pleasure
01:02:37We'll see you at the Knockout Box
01:02:39Yeah!
01:02:45Yes!
01:02:49That's it Australia
01:02:50The last save has been used
01:02:53There are no more saves left
01:02:55So it's do or die for the remaining artists left to perform
01:03:00When we return, it's team Leanne's turn to hit the battle arena
01:03:15Team Leanne
01:03:23Okay, so for the next battle
01:03:28Tori, come on up here
01:03:32Hi my love
01:03:35And Brad
01:03:37Yay!
01:03:41Why I paired you guys together?
01:03:42Because you both are kind of my two country-ish artists on the team
01:03:48I think you guys will sound great together
01:03:50How do you guys feel about being paired together?
01:03:52Good, we've known each other for a little while
01:03:54Oh you have?
01:03:55Yeah, through the country music world
01:03:56Have you performed together before?
01:03:59This will be a festival
01:04:00We've probably played shows like at the same
01:04:02It's only a festival
01:04:03We've never sung together
01:04:05We've never sung together
01:04:06Awesome, alright
01:04:08Brad and Tori come from the same world
01:04:10And like to live in that world of country music
01:04:12They're very very different voices
01:04:14Brad's voice is just so salt of the earth
01:04:17Like really grounded and super smooth
01:04:35I really love that Tori came in to the blinds
01:04:38I'm glad she had a second go at it
01:04:40On the first go around she did a pop song
01:04:42And I feel like her voice
01:04:44Like where she feels like she's comfortable
01:04:46Is more in country music
01:04:48And the song that she did I think really suited her well
01:04:51She can make you feel alive
01:05:02So I thought they could blend and sound
01:05:05Really beautifully together
01:05:07I've picked a song that's not country
01:05:10But I can hear the song done as a country song easily
01:05:13So the song I've chosen is
01:05:15Please Forgive Me by Bryan Adams
01:05:17How do you guys feel about this song?
01:05:20I love Bryan Adams
01:05:23I think key choice is going to be important for me
01:05:27I've always avoided this song
01:05:28Because some of the high notes in this song
01:05:30It's a real stretch for me
01:05:32Can't stop loving you
01:05:34Don't deny me
01:05:37This pain I'm going through
01:05:40Please forgive me
01:05:42Can't stop loving you
01:05:46I'm really pushing for some of these notes
01:05:49I don't know if I can do it
01:05:51It's the way we make love
01:05:54One thing I depend on
01:05:58Is for us to stay strong
01:06:01I think we're going to do it one more time
01:06:04This is absolutely going to be a tough battle
01:06:06I know Brad's struggling with certain parts of the song
01:06:09I think we're really going to have to
01:06:11Pull something out of a hat to make this one shine
01:06:14One thing I'm sure of
01:06:17Is the way we make love
01:06:21One thing I depend on
01:06:24Is for us to stay strong
01:06:28I'm seeing that Brad is really struggling
01:06:30To hit some of these high notes
01:06:32And so it's really kind of finding
01:06:35Alternative melodies in certain places
01:06:37For them to be able to shine
01:06:39I feel like we can switch some of these lines
01:06:42So some of the lower lines can be for you
01:06:45And you can take the lower harmony
01:06:47And just do a beautiful blend of the two voices
01:06:51Good to work today
01:06:53Actually, no, I've got some work today
01:06:55No, we do
01:06:56It's all good
01:06:57Team effort
01:06:58There's a lot at stake with this battle
01:07:00I came out of this experience once before
01:07:02And I came back fighting
01:07:04Part of me, I think, never thought I'd give this another go
01:07:07And I don't want to go home yet
01:07:09I'm not ready
01:07:11This song is, like, way out of my comfort zone
01:07:14I'm pushing myself to the top of my range here
01:07:17So if I don't nail the technique, I'm in trouble here
01:07:21But I'm going to give it 100%
01:07:24And then the rest is up to the singing gods
01:07:27Looking down, I guess
01:07:30Thank you
01:07:38It still feels like our first night together
01:07:46Feels like the first kiss
01:07:49It's getting better, baby
01:07:52No one can better this
01:07:56Still holding on
01:07:58You're still the one
01:08:01So if you're feeling lonely, don't
01:08:08So if I love you a little more than I should
01:08:15Please forgive me
01:08:18No, not what I do
01:08:20Please forgive me
01:08:23I can't stop loving you
01:08:26Don't deny me
01:08:28This pain I'm going through
01:08:31Please forgive me
01:08:33I can't stop loving you
01:08:37One thing I'm sure of
01:08:40Is the way we make love
01:08:44One thing I depend on
01:08:47Is for us to stay strong
01:08:50With every word and every breath I'm breathing
01:08:56That's why I'm saying
01:09:01Please forgive me
01:09:04No, not what I do
01:09:06Please forgive me
01:09:09I can't stop loving you
01:09:12Don't deny me
01:09:14This pain I'm going through
01:09:17Please forgive me
01:09:19If I need you like I do
01:09:22Baby, believe me
01:09:24Every word I say is true
01:09:27Please forgive me
01:09:30I can't stop loving you
01:09:33I can't stop
01:09:36Loving
01:09:40You
01:09:50Oh, yes, what a performance from Brad and Tori!
01:09:57Kate, please forgive me.
01:09:59I'm going to put you on the spot.
01:10:01Who won this battle?
01:10:04Well, firstly, I'd forgotten what a banger that song is.
01:10:08So good.
01:10:09Yeah.
01:10:10So good.
01:10:11And it wasn't always a country song, right?
01:10:14No, it's a rock song.
01:10:15Yeah, yeah.
01:10:16But I feel like it kind of has a country flair.
01:10:18Like it could be done as a country song.
01:10:20Well, I love that you saw that.
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:23Because now we all see that and that's so cool.
01:10:25I love that.
01:10:26For me, I really love the soulfulness of your voice, Brad.
01:10:30That's who I'd go with.
01:10:32Cool.
01:10:34Thank you, Kate.
01:10:36Adam, who grabbed your attention?
01:10:38It's tricky for me because country is not necessarily like my preference.
01:10:41It's not something I know a lot about.
01:10:43I don't listen to it very often.
01:10:44I really like Tori's kind of slightly more pop kind of crossover sound
01:10:49because that's more in line with what I like.
01:10:51Also, Tori, you look hot.
01:10:55That outfit.
01:10:56I want the skirt.
01:10:58Thank you, Adam.
01:11:00Well, Leanne, the fate of the artists are in your hands.
01:11:04So who won the battle for you?
01:11:07Well, first off, hold on.
01:11:12First off, this was a big song for you guys,
01:11:16and I pushed both of you out of your comfort zones,
01:11:18and you both really grew.
01:11:21We had a really challenging mentor session,
01:11:23and you grew so much.
01:11:25You complement each other really well with your harmonies,
01:11:27and I love you both.
01:11:28I love your voices because you both bring something very unique.
01:11:32This is hard.
01:11:34Yeah.
01:11:35I don't like this.
01:11:42I really don't know.
01:11:45I really don't know.
01:11:46She's really hot.
01:11:55Hold on.
01:11:57Hold on.
01:11:58Hold on. Hold on.
01:12:01Where is she going?
01:12:03I have no idea.
01:12:06Okay.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:22This is hard.
01:12:24Yeah, yeah.
01:12:25I don't like this.
01:12:34I really don't know.
01:12:36I really don't know.
01:12:37She's really hot.
01:12:41Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:12:51Where's she going?
01:12:54I have no idea.
01:12:57Okay.
01:12:59How are you guys feeling?
01:13:01Yeah, good.
01:13:02I'm kind of like, not glad it's over, but it was like, it was fun to get out of the way.
01:13:07You guys look very calm.
01:13:08I'm good now, I'm good now.
01:13:10Yeah, I think we're good now.
01:13:11Now you've finished singing.
01:13:12I forget words, I change things.
01:13:13Leanne's back, she's back.
01:13:15Okay, alright.
01:13:18So, this is really hard for me, because I love both of you, equally.
01:13:24And I love the way your harmonies sound together.
01:13:26I love your voices together.
01:13:29Is there ever a world where you would consider going through as a duo?
01:13:39Okay.
01:13:41You can deliberate.
01:13:43Is that like the only option, or is it like...
01:13:45No, you don't have to.
01:13:49Obviously this is completely your choice, but if you don't choose to go through as a duo,
01:13:55obviously I'll have to make a choice and send one of you home tonight.
01:13:59Oh.
01:14:02What do you guys think?
01:14:03What are you thinking right now?
01:14:05I think to be thrown that on stage now is like...
01:14:08It's a curve, right?
01:14:09Yeah, big time.
01:14:11It's a big decision.
01:14:14Just take a minute over there, decide amongst yourselves.
01:14:27How are you about this, Adam?
01:14:29I think this is very interesting, because they don't know who she's going to pick yet,
01:14:32so this is intense.
01:14:34Oh, good point.
01:14:36It's like, do you take a hundred bucks now or the chance to win a thousand?
01:14:41Yeah.
01:14:48So, will you come on this ride as a duo?
01:14:54Happy days.
01:14:55I think so.
01:14:56Absolutely.
01:14:57Yay!
01:14:59Happy days, I think so.
01:15:04What an exciting opportunity, though, that Leanne has given you.
01:15:07Are you pumped?
01:15:08That's right.
01:15:09Yeah, it's exciting.
01:15:10We both love country music and love the genre that we're both in,
01:15:13and when we were practicing this throughout the week and really locking it in,
01:15:17we just went, oh, wow, we sound good together.
01:15:21I can confirm, Brad and Tori are going to the Knockouts as a duo.
01:15:28Yes!
01:15:32Thank you, guys.
01:15:33I'm proud of you.
01:15:35I'm so proud of you guys.
01:15:36I know.
01:15:37Well, you know, anything can happen.
01:15:39Congratulations, you guys.
01:15:40Yeah, we're going to have a good time.
01:15:43Thanks for having fun.
01:15:51We're going to have fun, though.
01:15:52That's the thing.
01:15:53Like, there's so many great songs that they can do together,
01:15:55like, really to dig into that, like, country vibe.
01:15:57And they did sound good together.
01:15:58They did.
01:16:00What a mind-blowing three nights of battles we've just had from 48 artists.
01:16:06We now have our incredible top 28.
01:16:11As we've just seen, Leanne has locked away her Knockout team
01:16:15by combining her final two artists, Tori and Brad,
01:16:19into a sizzling new country rock duo.
01:16:23Tori and Brad's team-mates include Ruben DeMello,
01:16:27Duncan Toombs and Letitia Butler.
01:16:35Team Adam welcomed a new face when Adam kept Arthur Hull's hopes alive.
01:16:40He joins a mix of sultry divas, including Chloe K,
01:16:45Sienna and pocket rocket Annie Jones.
01:16:55Meanwhile, thanks to his saves, Guy still has country singer
01:17:00Jaden Chingleton on his team, along with the soulful voices
01:17:04of Roland Williams, Shannon Wick and The Amazing Sky.
01:17:13And Team Kate's newest members, Michael and Violetta,
01:17:17take their place in a team that includes amateur bar singer
01:17:21Jamie Lancaster, Disney princess Jaden Randall
01:17:26and musical theatre performer Matthew Hearn.
01:17:35Here they are, Australia, your top 28.
01:17:39One of you standing here on the stage will be the winner
01:17:43of The Voice 2024.
01:17:47Excuse me, Sonia.
01:17:49Can I say something?
01:17:51I feel really proud to be here representing Team Kate
01:17:54with the range of artists on stage.
01:17:59I've actually been offered an opportunity to go and perform
01:18:04in a musical.
01:18:06Because of that, I have had to choose to withdraw
01:18:09from the competition.
01:18:12You're not going to sing in the knockouts?
01:18:14I'm not going to sing in the knockouts.
01:18:17I have to go and do that.
01:18:20I have to say I'm shocked.
01:18:22I wish you all the best and I'm not surprised in the slightest
01:18:25that you've been cast in a show.
01:18:27You're made for it.
01:18:29Thank you, Kate.
01:18:35I'm really happy for you, man.
01:18:36It's great.
01:18:38It was a quick turnaround of events.
01:18:41But that's what happens in this business and you've got to,
01:18:44you know, sort of trust your gut and you've done it.
01:18:47So what does that mean for my team, Sonia?
01:18:51I don't think we have ever had to deal with anything like this
01:18:55quite before.
01:18:57So let me go and check with the executives and find out
01:19:00what the protocol is.
01:19:02Can you give me a second?
01:19:07I don't know what this means.
01:19:08Like I'll need another shot.
01:19:11All right.
01:19:12Attention, attention.
01:19:15The executive producers have advised me that in this case
01:19:19you'll be given a wild card.
01:19:24Now this means you can bring any artist back from any team.
01:19:32From the battle rounds.
01:19:37Okay, Kate, you have a pretty big decision to make now going
01:19:41forward.
01:19:42You have to decide which artist you'll be giving a second chance
01:19:46to.
01:19:48My head is spinning.
01:19:51We will find out which lucky artist will be returning.
01:19:57At the knockouts.
01:20:02Good night, Australia.
01:20:17Next time on The Voice.
01:20:22They made it through the blinds and the battles.
01:20:26But now the remaining artists go head to head in the knockouts.
01:20:31This is the most cutthroat part of The Voice.
01:20:34I have to get my team of seven down to two.
01:20:37That's brutal.
01:20:39And...
01:20:40You'll be given a wild card.
01:20:43You can bring any artist back from any team.
01:20:47But which eliminated artist will be returning to join team Kate?
01:20:53The stage is set.
01:20:57For two massive nights of unbelievable performances.
01:21:03I'm going to say the best performance we've had this year.
01:21:07And unmissable drama.
01:21:09I would like to take both of them through.
01:21:11What is she doing?
01:21:12Can I do that?
01:21:13What are rules?
01:21:14What are rules?
01:21:15They're made to break.
01:21:16Does that mean when another two people come out you're going to
01:21:19have to tell them, sorry, neither of you got through?
01:21:21Possibly.
01:21:22I would love to speak to the manager and get all Karen up in here.
