Yeah, always been passionate about music and played through school I love it. And who's your heroes like musically and vocally? Yeah, I love the folk kind of folk music and quieter stuff Me too laxing kind of music. Yeah, because that's the thing about the voice performance It's not necessarily about big notes and moments It's it's about what's authentic and the feeling that you create and that's that's what matters you created this Peaceful vibe in the room and and it just stayed there so beautifully musically, I loved what you were doing the percussive nature and the Harmonics and everything you were doing with the guitar was beautiful and that low resonant voice that you've got is really great. Really great Thank you. It's so such a different Can I just say that was probably the most epic and hauntingly beautiful version of such an iconic song and I Loved that you that you took it that way really it was raw. It was so epic and powerful That I can see you doing So much more and I would love to be on that journey with you Because Yeah, you you are something else I'm looking forward to that Thank you, Nick. Yeah, that was phenomenal when I first heard your voice Instantly I could hear a seasoned voice, you know Somebody who knew exactly who they were and then I turned around and then I saw you and then I was like, holy ---- This is incredible. Like you are a one-man band. You could play arenas, you know you can you I don't even know if I'm allowed to curse but um I'm just saying how I feel it But you still have that authentic nature because you have a story to tell and you're gonna tell that story whether it's here or in a room full of thousands of people And I don't think that I've felt that way about an artist before but I feel like this is an act that could Literally be as large as you Physically want it to be a person You were Extraordinary like you changed the shift of the energy in the room and I've never felt anything like that before Thanks, and You know, you might be surprised by this but like I'm kind of a nerd When it comes to like my knowledge of music and even though I love all the flashy glamour and all the fancy dancy stuff Like I do know my thing with music like I do feel like I have enough knowledge to help you Get all the way in this competition and I'm down to take this Incredible journey with you and also challenge myself Like if I'm put in the hot seat, like I'm not gonna stop until I get it, right So, you know, I hope that's enough with you and me. I don't know makeup, but I'd love to have you on my team Yeah, well Nick time to time to decide what coach you're gonna go This is a really hard decision I'm gonna go with Rita In Prince's house purple paint on the walls, uh-huh sitting down on his fancy couch and I can't see straight Oh What's your name, my name is Gemma Hollingsworth, I'm 19. I'm from Melbourne Gemma Gemma tell it tell us your story. I like what you're singing background Well, originally I really wanted to be an AFLW player. I love sport. I love footy But I unfortunately tore my ACL and my MCL ligaments Horrible I Then just went to music and went to singing and I love it so much and it's yeah my passion now, so yeah And that's your gang over there. Yeah, this is my family My mom's guy cloudy my twin sister who recently competed in Paris Olympics What was your sister competing in cloudy was competing in the 800 meters on the athletics, so yes 800 what's your time at 800 a minute 58 and I used to run 800s. I ran I ran twos and eights. I was the Irish champion at 200 meters Anyway, sorry enough about me That was incredible there was a lot of technical stuff I know you were trying to impress and hit notes and that's what you're supposed to do here You've got a minute and a half to shine and you did it, you know, there were some moments that weren't perfect That's okay. You know, you got three coaches turning here. So you have options and this is the best option team right here Okay Surprising and exciting and that's one of my favorite things on this show to be surprised Performance wasn't perfect, but I can hear this kernel of pure talent. That is very exciting to me Thank you. I think you've got a lot of amazing potential. Thank you so much Jenna I Absolutely love that. I love the drama, you know, you brought so much that performance You obviously have good technique and sometimes that can take away from the emotion Yeah, there was just moments of magic. So, you know, it's in there, you know, we just have to maybe Relax a little bit and just access that a little bit more. You're sporty. Hello What are the styles of music do you listen to kind of just a bunch of everything to be honest I love singing pop. I was trained classically still am training classically. So I think that's why I heard a bit of that in there The foundation of my whole career so in many ways It's a no-brainer which coach you should go for you've taken the pop genre and the opera genre those two Genres have collided seamlessly and there's not many people in the world who can do that I think you know Kate's right There really isn't many people that can mix that pop genre and the opera but she can That kind of makes you a very obvious choice, so I think that puts me in a very awkward position But luckily I have a little button here I just think we can compare ACL repairs We can do some working out and then we can sing what's it gonna be Gemma I've done the voice in different countries. I did it in Germany. I did it in the UK I've done it here in Australia and all of the artists always say they have the most amount of fun on team Ronin. So It's the right place for you, yeah, you could go with Ronin and Ronin is a good option, but I'm better Come on Gemma, I think Go with the girl power 800 meters, I think we can race. Oh my gosh Statue pitch the coach. I'm gonna go with Is Melanie Thank you, darling, oh my god, you were brilliant Let's go see So Playing this boy Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girl still I've been a till I'm just too long Just give me a reason to love you Give me a reason Oh So, what's your name and where have you come from?

Yes, no, honestly, you're 19, right I'm 19 You have a much older soul a much older sound and Portishead's. I mean, how did you discover that band? So actually my mom introduced me to Portishead. We used to listen to that album as kids all the time Oh, you killed it. I felt like I wanted to go to your gig, you know, I don't want one song I want I want a headline show Yeah, it was Yeah, beautiful.

I grew up listening to a lot of blues and folk and older music with my family And yeah, I really love that kind of older stuff. Yeah. I just yeah, I would love so much to jam with you I want to sing with you on a technical level Your voice to me sounded flawless, I just I can't wait for us to get in a room together and explore Not don't it's nothing rude Really explore Where we can go from here and what we can do with that incredible instrument. The fact you play guitar is Just brilliant. You are the one that I've been waiting for. I can't wait for you to join team Kate Thank you so much Kate that was incredible that was an incredible performance, you know, you weren't just technically Fantastic, but I believed every word. I can't believe you're 19. I love that. You said you like old things cuz I'm old I'm the oldest one up here. So if you like older things, I'm your guy I'm really impressed that you decided to to audition and perform with a guitar I didn't think you needed it You were kind of looking and you were watching your hands instead of and the fact that you weren't Completely 100% focused on your vocal and still pulled that off is mind-blowing But I don't think unless you're gonna rip a solo. Your voice is so Extraordinary, you don't need to be holding a guitar. You just need to be performing and taking exactly the same, you know And just do your thing I'm a fan and I would love for us to work together on team Richard. Thank you How would you feel about taking the guitar away is it a comfort blanket, it's not a cover blanket I sing about the guitar all the time, but I love the guitar.

I've been 24 when he comes on book. That's why Unfathomable, and I pray it's hot. Yeah, it's nice. Don't get it to happen. It's not wondershown. Thank you Alex, since when have you been singing? Since 10 years. And why The Voice now? I've been to The Voice before. I participated in 2020. Unfortunately, no one turned around. But I took a lot with me in 2020. And I started writing my own songs. I became more confident. Then I thought, why not again? Good attitude. Yes, it worked. Yes! I love your attitude. You know, honestly, that obviously wasn't your time on The Voice. But definitely 2023 is. Definitely, yes. Alex, the nice thing is that this year the right coach is here for you. And I was happy when I turned around. You were sitting at the piano. I already had a thousand visions. How you sit there, make songs on the piano. How you get it in big shows. How you get it on big stages. You bring everything with you. You're a great guy. You write yourself. You can accompany yourself. And with me by your side. What should happen? Honestly. Thank you, Giovanni. The thing is. Think about it. Last time you didn't have one. Now you have two. Yes. That's a lot of fun. We come as a team. I can see that. I see us together. You're a cool guy. You have to come here. You have to come to us. Clearly. What is important to you about a coach? That he makes me better. Exactly that. You just heard me. What would you work on with me first? On the singing performance. I felt the big moments. Moments when you feel safe. Other moments when you weren't so sure. With the phrasing. I think you have a lot that is unmistakable. There is a very special tone. I've heard it from time to time. I didn't have enough of it. I would work on it even more. With the right songs. And then tweak it a bit. Song selection. Dynamics in the performance, of course. And so on. All these things. Here we also have musicians and producers with us. I sing myself. Here you get the complete package. Exactly. That's how it is. I can hear your voices bubbling like this. Stand up, sing. You have this huge, beautiful, big, round voice. People just want to hear it. Team Raunen. I know what you need. Who is he going to? No, Tom and Bill. No, no, no. I think Raunen. You say Raunen? Yes, Raunen. And you say Bill? Tom and Bill, yes. Come to us. You want it too, don't you? Come to my team. Think about it well. Because with me, you'll sound like you're standing when you're sitting. So. Deciding time. I think you need a seat belt. Why? You're always standing up. Yes, but if someone... I would like to have handcuffs. Can we have handcuffs? I feel really... I miss someone like that in the team. Someone who can sit at the piano, who writes his own stuff. You know? Who can fill the stage alone. You know? It's just... There's so much already. I would just like to... I'm not so good at words. But I might sing where I go. Oh. I love you. I love you, too. Come on. Okay, you guys sing it. You ready? Here we go. What? It sounds cool. Every night and every day I try to make you stay But your savage love Did somebody, did somebody break your heart? Like your savage love Wow, that's so good. When you kiss me, I know you don't give too far Your savage love Oh, savage Big voice. Savage love Did somebody, did somebody break your heart? Oh, my God. This is so cool. You held that together during the performance. And then afterwards, you're like, I am done. I'm done. Sorry, I was not expecting that. My name is Etienne. I'm 19 and I'm from Brisbane. Okay. What a beautiful rendition of that song. Thank you. It's a great song. Thank you so much. But holy, can I borrow that for the live show, too? Will you come and sing it with me on? That was, like, for real, though. That was, like, so cool. When I was writing the song, the beat, it was so happy. And I was like, I want to write something so different on it. And so I wrote a very melancholy song to a very, very happy beat. So when one is just listening to the song, it feels very happy. But the story is way deeper and way more blood, sweat and tears in it. And you brought that to the forefront here with this performance. Thank you. Thank you so much. And in such a cool way. So thank you for that. Thank you. With that being said, your originality, the artist in you was able to create that. And for me, I am always looking for that first and foremost, an individual. And you are through and through that. So congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you. I appreciate it. You obviously know that I'd love to have you on Team Jason. I think we could have a lot of fun and we could learn from each other. Wow. What a voice. Thank you. It's really special. I think my favourite thing about your voice, beyond it just being such a perfect audition, it was the push and pull that you've got. You went from power. And to be honest, you surprised me with your power. In the middle part of the song where you really belted, I thought all you had was just that kind of soft, sweet tone. You've got like a seriously, almost like a powerful rock belt in you, which is such a great tool just to be able to bring people down. Even having the confidence. The way you finished that song was just so beautiful. That is a sign of a performer that knows how to carry an audience. And I would love you on my team. Such a captivating performance. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. And that would continue on Team Guy. I promise you it would continue. Honestly, such an incredible performance. I loved every single part of it. So thank you, first of all, for taking us all on that journey. We were all with you. You're coming along with me. I think what your power is, is already there. And I'm just so excited. As a coach, you have your own story. And I think that's the amazing part. You know yourself. I mean, your attitude is incredible. I mean, you're absolutely beautiful. I'm just in love with your voice. I'm in love with your spirit and what you're bringing. I would love to have you on Team Jess. I think you're spectacular. Thank you so much. I had so much fun hearing you and watching your audition. I'm going to keep mine a little short. Because everyone's just said everything that you need to hear. You know, you are definitely a blessing for this show. And I think that me and you would have so much fun together. And I would love to have you on my team. Thank you. Thank you so much. Decision making. It's all up to you. I mean, we would have so much fun together. This might come as a surprise. But I'm going to choose... Jason. You were so fantastic. Thank you so much. That was such a cool rendition. I've never heard it that way before. No. Jason's going to start doing it like that. So this is for you. It's a Team Jason shirt. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you so much. Thank you. No, you never cry to them. Just to your soul. Run away, turn away. Run away. Turn away. Cry boy, cry. Cry boy, cry boy, cry. On the platform, the wind and the rain on the side. A lonely face. And I could cry. If I don't move. A seven nation army couldn't hold me back. I'm gonna rip them off. Taking their time, I ride behind my back. And I'm talking to myself at night. Because I can't forget. I sit back and forth and through my mind. Behind a cigarette. Mess is coming from my eyes. Mess is coming from my bones. See to find a new home. A new home. What's your name? My name is Levi X. I'm 15. I'm from Brisbane. So, tell me a bit about your musical background. Well, I've been playing sax for about 6 years now. I've been singing for about 3. I've been doing local markets around my area since I was 11. We've been doing that for about 4 years now. Wow, a grind. Yeah. I play with my dad alongside me. He plays the saxophone. Yes, dad. And also with my brother. And yeah, we're booked basically every week. With gigs, weddings, markets. But yeah, just having a lot of fun. You're at work then. Yeah. Dad's put you to work. Yeah, blessed and booked. I love it. The saxophone is really, really close to the voice. And I wonder why more people don't play the sax and sing. Because it goes so well together. And you did it beautifully. So, maybe there'll be a lot of people that follow you because you do it so well. Well, I'd say it went amazing, man. Congrats. I'd love to have you as a part of my team. There's no one like you on my team or any team for that matter. So, I'd love to have you. Levi X. What a name. How did you come up with that? Levi is my first name and X is my middle initial. Oh, cool. It sounds like you were already born to be a star. Well, listen. I love you. I thought that you have this really, even before you started playing the sax, I was thinking the voice is just voicing. It really was. I felt this kind of shiver through my body of something special. And that's when I turned first. And that's when I noticed like, whoa, you've got a sax hanging around your neck. This is about to get interesting. And it just got better and better and better and better. And it was great. Thank you. To have you on my team. There's so much we could do in the sense of like picking a great record for you where you have moments to sort of shine vocally and also with the sax. It's so interesting that you said to blend the singing with the saxophone because I've been known to like really... I know, you've got a hit. You've got hits. Yeah, I know. I put those together like the musical elements in those. I knew you were going to bring that up. So you think he's perfect for me too. That's amazing. Thanks, Rita. What have we done, Jess? Hey, Levi. Hello. I know I'm not in this game now. But I just wanted to say I did love your performance. I almost was so taken by the saxophone that I forgot about your vocals. You know what I mean? So don't take that as a negative. Like you said, you've been playing the saxophone more than you have been singing, right? So I think what it's going to take for you to... And I hope with Jason and Rita, which I'm sure they'll do, is to be able to have you be a little bit more on the vocal side. But I'm really excited for you, to be honest. Thank you. Yeah, Levi, that's your edge. Like having that horn in your hand is totally your edge. And it's a shame because I have a feeling I'm going to regret this. Mum and Dad, am I going to regret this? You are going to regret it. Honestly, I think you are really special. I can actually see you in the finals if the coach gets it right. If the coach gets it right and really experiments with using your saxophone. I'll definitely get it right for sure. Making it really interesting. I think that's your edge. And you obviously have so much experience busking. So I'm excited for Australia to get to see more of Levi X. Well, first off, thank you for turning. It's a great experience to be able to come and perform in front of four amazing coaches. But I think I might go with Rita. Thank you. I honestly thought you were going to go with Jason. I really can't believe it. Thank you so much. I'm so, so, so happy you chose me. Honestly, you're not going to regret this. You're going to have the best experience. And I'm going to make sure that we really work hard. Give you the space you deserve. Get your vocal to a point where you're just as confident as the sax. And you're going to just shine. Everyone is talking on the scene. I hear them whispering about the places that you've been. And how you don't know how to keep your business clean. Mom, she be popping it. Yeah, she put it down slowly. Daddy, daddy, if you want it, drop the attic. Give me love, give me feeling. Let's see all the daddy. When you want it, baby, I know I got you covered. And when you need it, baby, just jump and do the cover. It wasn't fire, no one could save me but you. Strange what desire make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you. I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No, I don't want to fall in love. No, I don't want to fall in love with you. The wicked game you play to make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you. What a wicked thing you say. You never felt this way. What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you. And I don't want to fall in love. No, I don't want to fall in love. No. This ain't a song for the broken hearted. No silent prayer for the faith parted. And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd. You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud. It's my life. And it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever. I just want to live where I'm alive. It's my life. This is for the ones who stood their ground. It's for Tommy and Gina. We'll never back down. It's my life. And it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever. I just want to live where I'm alive. It's my life. My heart is like an open highway. Like Frankie said, I did it my way. I just want to live where I'm alive. It's my life. Talking in my sleep at night. Making myself crazy. Eye of my mind. Wrote it down and read it out. Hoping you'll save me. Too many times. My love. He makes me feel like nobody else. Nobody else. One. Don't pick up the phone. You know he's only calling because he's drunk and alone. Two. Don't let him in. You'll have to kick him out again. Three. Don't be his friend. You know he got to wake up in his bed in the morning. Wow. Flash. Wow. I have a blue house with a blue window. Blue is the color of all that I wear. Blue are the trees and all the trees are too. I have a girlfriend and she's so blue. Blue are the people here that walk around. Blue like my carpet and sitting outside. I have a girlfriend and she's so blue. Blue are the feelings that live inside me. I'm blue. I don't think people here, they realize. The heaviest sadness we hold in our eyes. Oh, tell me, what am I supposed to do? I like it. I've got chills. They're multiplying. And I'm losing control. But you're supplying. It's electrifying. You better shape up. Because I need a man. And my heart is set on you. You better shape up. You better understand. To my heart I must be true. Nothing left for me to do. You're the one that I want. Ooh, honey, the one that I want, yeah. Ooh, honey, you are the one that I want. And if you're filled with affection, yeah. You're the one that I want. Too shy to convey. You're the one that I want. No, please stay. It's all I need. Oh, yes, indeed. It's all I need. Oh, yes, indeed. It's all I need. No, sometimes. Yeah, I get a feeling that I never, never got. Yeah, I get a good feeling, yeah. Just want to tell you right now. I believe it. And I really, really do believe it. Because I'm going to hold on to you. No, my feelings are going to hold on to me right now. No, my feelings, you've got to know. Know, know. That's the beatbox, too. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
