Talent RETURNS to The Voice for UNFINISHED BUSINESS | Journey #435

Same bed but it feels a little bit bigger now I sung on the radio but it don't sound the same When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down It breaks a little when I hear your name To try and punch you to know And gives you all his hours Has the chance Takes you to everybody How much you love to die Do what I should've done Who have we got? My name is Arthur, I am 19 and I'm from Victoria It's weird to be back isn't it? It's surreal, it's so weird It's familiar but slightly different It is slightly different, the stakes are way higher Hi, I'm Arthur, I am 19 and this is not the first time I've been here I auditioned for The Voice in season 11 The night before my audition I had a life-threatening reaction to Brazil nuts And I discovered that by going into anaphylaxis I just lost complete motor control, struggling to breathe, fire, pain Coursing through my entire body, 10 doctors around me, nurses Like, oh my god, there's a 17-year-old boy that's about to die It's terrifying, very scary Woke up in the hospital the next day, nagging the doctors to release me So I could go and clutch my flight And I came to do my blind audition, I wasn't going to miss that for anything Great song, great song Good song But it don't sound the same When our friends talk about you All it does is just tear me down Heart breaks a little Keep playing When I hear your name I hope he buys you flowers And holds your hand In his hours When he has the chance I was dancing With another man You have an incredible voice Overall, the energy was high But for me, I thought you were at 100 the whole time In certain songs there is that push and pull And I feel like I just didn't have that variety But I would have loved to hear that light and shade personally Arthur, can we try and experiment really quick? Of course Let's hit the piano for a sec Because the song is an intimate song But it's also about just believing it No matter what your voice is So what I'd suggest is, singing a little bit of the chorus Is that your mum and dad right there? It is Okay, so your mum and dad are sleeping right now You're at home, right? It's like 3 in the morning You've just woken up with this amazing idea for a song And you've run out to the piano And you want to sing it a little bit But you can't wake your mum and dad up So you've got to sing it nice and quiet I hope he buys you flowers Holds your hand In his hours The chance To take you to every party All you wanted To do was dance My baby's dancing With another man Thank you So the reason I wanted you to do that Is don't underestimate the person you are Underneath that voice Which is a very raw, real, sensitive, loving human being We're going to feel that No matter what your voice is Yeah, we did, that was amazing Thank you If I was a girl with that other man I would be coming back to you after that This is a great chapter in your life And I think you have serious talent And you're going to get to some really exciting places So cool That's good, man That's the way to do it Just think differently like that sometimes Trust yourself The song that I'm singing for my blind audition Is When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars This is the same song that I sang in season 11 So I can prove that it wasn't the song This time I am primed and ready This is Unfinished Business That's why I'm here I'm back to turn the chair I'm doing it, no matter what You should take this as a huge compliment There is no tougher time to audition than right then Well, I disagree I auditioned two years ago with you here You must have looked different Yeah, I definitely looked different What happened? I'd just come out of the hospital I went into anaphylactic shock The day before my blind audition in season 11 How? I ate a Brazil nut I didn't know that I was anaphylactic And so I literally walked out of the hospital And went straight to the airport to come and do my audition Oh, wow So the audition was a little wonky Was it a weird audition? So I didn't turn into chairs last time Anaphylactic shock, that affects your airways, right? Absolutely I was also on lots of medications I had no sleep I was completely exhausted And also this mental state of being like To have something that actually It could have killed me That was definitely a headspace That wasn't the best for going into the blind auditions No Damn And it was very, it was scary Like it was super scary I was not in a good way And I'm actually, I'm glad that I didn't turn into chairs I didn't really know who I was As an artist at that time You know, this was redemption Came back and Look at that You can literally say it took some nuts To get to a position where you could audition again It really did Yeah Jokes aside, that was awesome You know, it seemed so easy for you You hear that song covered all the time And I've never heard it covered like that You would cut notes short Which I really loved It was a very musical approach to the song You weren't trying to impress It felt like you know who you are Do you know what I mean? Absolutely I would love you on Team Guy I absolutely love that story About you going into anaphylactic shock That came out wrong That was a weird opening to a pitch Keep going, I'm sure there's more A lot of people talk about The ingredients necessary for a music career Talent, luck and timing But I think something that's often neglected That is even more important Is being on Team Kate No, is That I have not heard of before Is tenacity That little voice in your head that says Keep going, keep going That level of hunger I think is even more important Than luck, talent or timing And the thing is the longer you hang in there The more luck and timing Are going to come your way Your voice is really special And you belong on my team Thank you so much Kate listed all the ingredients Of what Team Kate could have But you've got to be really careful Because sometimes just in the corner Might say may contain traces of nuts Copy that Hi Hello You're adorable, like really adorable I mean take this in the best way possible But you have this kind of Harry Styles Like little thing going And it's super cool Just different textures that were there That were really beautiful I love when you got soft And then you have all these Beautiful runs and openness You have it all I would love to have you on Team Leanne It was absolutely beautiful Thank you, thank you I know I'm not pitching My team is full But I don't know, there's something About the way you carry yourself And the voice, it was very distinct It didn't sound like anybody else I really think you're a star Thank you so much Make a decision It's so hard I feel like I'm under attack I think that Oh my gosh Not there yet, not there yet I need to talk I think the ingredients are amazing Are you breaking up with me? The only thing is I want to work with someone That I got to perform in In front of two years ago So for that I'm going to go with Guy Oh shit, so good to see you Absolutely, well done Now I'm closer I'm starting to remember your face Thank you so much Thank you Should we get to the song? Let's do it It's Tate McRae, You Broke Me First I'm not a pop singer I never have been This is not a song I would normally sing By any stretch This song is going to be more of a challenge Than you think it is Even though it sounds simple It's so complex in the way she sings She puts a lot in a short amount of time Such a short amount It's so musical how she sings It's very creative Timing is everything in this song I do love this song I think it's different to what I sing I'm very much a ballad singer The timing on this song is very tough The verses, they're very fast A lot of lyrics in a short amount of time I'm feeling really overwhelmed There is a lot of words And I can't sing very quickly The secret to verses like this as well Is you don't sometimes have to say full words Maybe you don't like talking about I didn't say like, I just went like Don't feel like you've got to sing it so much Cut stuff short, it'll help you heaps Technically this song is really difficult There's some really rhythmic fast bits in the verse With lots of lyrics And then some more spacious, melodic moments To really nail this song, you need musicality I actually love this for you guys It's going to make you think about singing differently It's going to make you think about Approaching a song differently Obviously only one can win Let's give it everything, hey Fight for that knockout spot This song is definitely intimidating Because I think I'm already going to Have difficulty with just the lyrics This song is definitely a challenge for me It's very much talk singing I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up To win this battle would be Just the next step in an already amazing experience I want to get through the knockouts And if I don't, I will be devastated Only one person is going to be able to win this battle And I'm going to do everything I can To make sure that's me Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself But you should've told me that you were thinking about someone else You're drunk at a party Or maybe it's just that your car broke down Your phone's been off for a couple of months So you're calling me now I know you, you're like this When things don't go your way You needed me to fix it And like me, hide the reason Now suddenly you're asking for it back Could you tell me where'd you get the nerve You could say you miss all that we had Really care how bad it hurts When you broke me first You broke me first I was in denial when I first heard That you moved on quicker than you could've ever You know that hurt I swore for a while I would stare at my phone Just to see your name But now that it's there I don't really know what to say I know you, you're like this When things don't go your way You needed me to fix it Like me, I did But I ran out of every reason Now suddenly you're asking for it back Could you tell me where'd you get the nerve You could say you miss all that we had Really care how bad it hurts When you broke me first Oh, you did That was incredible. We'll get some help from the coaches because this is going to be a tough call for you, I'm sure. Leanne, who would be your winner? I really enjoyed that. I think you guys both have cool voices. James, I do love the tone of your voice. The tone is really beautiful. Yeah. Thank you so much. There's this low, warm feeling that I get when you sing. And Arthur, your voice, the sliding up into falsetto, back into chest, is so effortless. That was stunning. Adam, who came out on top for you? I have to say, Arthur, you have such an interesting stage presence, but I think you have a real star quality, and I see that here today as well. There's something about the way you carry yourself on stage where it feels very sure, and I thought your tone was really beautiful. It was a really fluid sound, and there's a lot of potential with you. And I don't know what it is exactly, but... Thank you. Thank you, Adam. Well, Guy, the decision is yours. So who won the battle? I think what we just saw shows just how difficult our job as coaches is. It was so neck and neck. It was this race that was just, you know... I think, Arthur, you have this confidence, and you do have this ability and this potential and musicality. James, there's something super musical in the way that you sing. It's really pop. It's like you think about every line. I'm never bored. Those little vibrato moments, those things just make me tune in to you singing lyrics. To the knockouts. It is James. Congratulations, James. Thank you so much. You've won the battle. You've been victorious. We'll go through. Pleasure. Now for James. Arthur, is there anything that you could say right now to the coaches to convince them to take you through? Performing is my life. And, Adam, your presence is something that I will genuinely hold in my heart for a very, very long time. I have so much more still to show you. So much more. Make your decision. Will you save Arthur? Unfortunately, Arthur, you have not been saved in this instance. It's been great having you on the show. Thank you so much. Put your hands together for Arthur, everyone. Wait a minute. No. I wasn't sure. You got it, bro. Thank you so much. You're welcome. It's going to be fun. We're going to have a good time. I'm so excited. You got it. I'm so glad he did that because, honestly, I was hoping that would happen with you. I was flipping between every second line. So just keep proving why, you know. I cannot thank Guy enough for what he gave me. But I'm so excited to work with you, Adam. Your showmanship, the control that you have in your voice is something that I really want to learn from. Oh, yay. Thank you so much. My pleasure. We'll see you at the No-Count. Arthur, your song is going to be Stay by Rihanna. I'm not 100% sure of it, but, you know, I know the basic gist of it and I can sing it. I can play it. Okay, okay. I think the challenge for you is finding a couple little things that you can do to give it some character and some musicality. Now make it yours. Yeah. I think Arthur needs to put his spin on it. He needs to find some signature stylistic choices. I think that'll make it work really well for him. Really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay I think I have to base this decision on the entire journey. It's not just about this moment. I think the artist that I can offer the most to moving forward is Arthur. Congratulations, Arthur. You are singing again later at the showdown. That was hard. That was a hard one. Congratulations. Yeah, my pleasure. Yeah. Get ready for the next one. Next round. She packed my bags last night Pre-flight Zero hour Nine a.m. And I'm gonna be high As a kite by then I think it's gonna be a long, long time Till touchdown brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man Burning up his fuse out here alone And I think it's gonna be a long, long time I think it's gonna be a long, long time The artist that will take my last semifinal position will be Annie Jones.
