He Sang Jason Derulo's Own Song... Then Jason Called Him a Star | The Voice Journey [ #253] [4K]

I work in a pet store. I love dogs. Growing up we had like four or five dogs. Yeah, it's definitely fitting that I work in a pet store. I've been a backing vocalist for the last five years. During the day I'm working in the pet store and then at night I'm like out singing. It's a completely different lifestyle altogether. I feel like Hannah Montana. There is a massive difference between being a backing vocalist and the lead singer. I honestly don't know if I'm suited to be on the center stage. When you're a backing vocalist you don't have to think too much about people looking at you and paying much attention to you but I feel like being a lead it's like they're here to watch you. I think now's a good time for me to kind of step away from being a backing vocalist and start putting my passion and my dreams first. This has always been a dream of mine to be performing for these coaches. Guy, he was someone that I really looked up to. I've listened to Jason Derulo back when I was in year 11. This is really big for me to be able to sing in front of them. The song I'm singing for my blind audition is Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo. The crucial part of this song is honestly the verses because they're all in falsetto. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to do the song justice. I feel pretty scared. Well damn, I mean that used to be my song. What's your name? My name is J Dean. I'm 29 and I'm from Melbourne. Ah well so nice to meet you. Your range is absolutely crazy. The way you flip from false back into full voice is seamless man. And your voice is like butter man. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. That means a lot, thank you. Have you been performing for a long time? What's your background? Yeah so I actually work in a pet shop. And I'm also a backing vocalist. So I've been touring as a backing vocalist for different artists and so now I'm here kind of just doing my own thing and hoping that it gets me somewhere. You know a lot of times backing vocals sing better than a lot of artists. I mean you're a star bro, that was really really good. Thank you so much. You should be really proud of yourself. I mean how did it feel up there? Crazy. Were you nervous? Yeah. Hey. Well you know I couldn't help but think like when the song started playing I was like wow that's a bold move. Yeah me too. For you to just get up there and do that you know it takes guts. It takes super super guts to you know to perform a coach's song. And you literally you were just like okay. Yeah. Yeah you did. I would be honoured to have you on my team. Thank you. I just had to turn because one you just got like you know the bravery. Two those like in and out falsetto to chest voice was like super impressive. And you kept up with the beat like it's not an easy song so like well done. I mean welcome to The Voice. I would love. Thanks Rita. Let me tell you when you had me. You had me at that note. Yeah. I was like okay he knows his scales. So he knows how to go out just a little and bring it back. So it's JD right? J Dean. Oh J Dean. It's like Jaden but spicy. Oh yeah. I think you are spicy. And you know Jason you made a great point about backing vocalists you know. And backing vocalists is about accuracy. And sometimes you get lost in the pursuit of accuracy. But for you, you've got that down. So that's like second nature now. So what I would say to you is for the rest of this voice journey of yours. Start thinking like an artist. As a coach I would love to know what do you want to say? Like what sort of message do you want to get out to the public? What makes you tick? Because I know you can sing. It's about just getting moments. And I can only do that with someone who's technically amazing. Because I want to push boundaries. And you are technically amazing. So if you were on my team I would be so excited. Just to try stuff. To stamp some kind of artistry that you're proud of. Thank you. Okay. Who's it gonna be? I'm so sorry Jason. But I'm gonna have to go with Guy. Dude really? I thought I had no chance after you sung his song. No. Get out dude. Give me a hug. Thank you. Oh my gosh. Thank you. So good. Congratulations. Thanks for the song. Oh so good. Oh you're gonna make it. Oh my god. You must make a path. We must bring salvation back. Oh. Where there is love. I'll be there. To comfort you. I'll be your strength. You know I'll keep holding on. To give an edge. When it's all I'm after. Just call my name. And I'll be there. You're turning heads when you walk through the door. When we make up to cover up. Being the way that you are is enough. Hey. Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you. Baby you light up my world like nobody else. So many juices your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell. You don't know. You don't know you're beautiful. There's only you from what I can see. You don't understand why I want you so desperately. There's nothing I can't do and I can't believe it. That's what makes you beautiful. It's over and done. The heartache lives on inside. Who is the one you're clinging to? Instead of me. Where are you now? Now that I need you. You never see me fall apart. In the words of a broken heart. It's just emotion taking me over. Caught up in sorrow. Lost in a song. But if you don't come back. Come home to me darling. Don't you know there's no nobody. No, no, no, no. It's goodnight. Jason. Overnight are you still impressed with them as a group? I'm still super impressed with Overnight. What I didn't enjoy as much is the dancing. And that's just something that you're gonna grow into. I mean, you guys are still so fresh. I think you guys are fantastic. I mean, you have a bright future ahead of you. Jaydeen, my gosh, man. You sang the Mariah parts and the Trey Lorenz part. When you flicked up the octave, all of us were like, what the heck? Ellie, with you, there's something that is so special about your voice, your tone. Everything technically is brilliant. It's so great. Overnight, you guys showed me something then which was really heartwarming. And it's a bunch of guys that are just really desperate to get better and better at every stage. So all three of you, I'm so proud of you. Thanks, guys. So the artist I will be taking straight through to the battles is Ellie. So Overnight and Jaydeen, for one of you, the voice stream will be done. The artist I'll be giving a second chance in the ultimate callback, Jaydeen. You are successfully through to the ultimate callback. Yeah! Let the ultimate callback begin. Too young, too dumb to realize I should have bought you flowers. You held your hand, taking every part because I know you love to dance. Now baby's dancing. She's dancing with another man. Oh, she's dancing. Yeah, she's dancing with another man. What you doing? Where you at? Don't say that. Shut your trap. We should be dancing, romancing like an east wing in the west wing of this mansion. What's happening? I ain't playing games. Every word that I say is coming straight from my heart. So if you're trying to play in these arms, I'ma leave the door open. I'ma leave the door open, baby. I'ma leave the door open. And I'm hoping that you feel the way you're feeling. You want me like I want you tonight. And baby, tell me that you're coming through. Jaydeen and Michaela. Just exquisite. So much soul from both of you. Michaela, like I love watching you perform. I just think you're just elegant when you perform and really soul moving for me. Jaydeen, wow. I mean, the bends and the rounds that you do with your vocals. I mean, you send me on a merry-go-round. It's crazy. You did it for me, man. I respect you both so much. I have to pull the band-aid off. So the artist I'm going to take through, Jaydeen. Congratulations, Jaydeen. You have, guys, final spot. And you are going through to the battles. It's going to be amazing. Congratulations. Go on down. Join the rest of team, guy. Put your hands together for Jaydeen. We're in the homestretch of the hard times We took a hard left, but we're on fire Mm, life sure can try to put love through it But we built this right And nothing's ever gonna move it When the bones are good, the rest don't matter Yeah, the pain could heal, the glass could shatter Let it rain, cause you and I are made the same When there ain't a crack in the foundation Any hour, any storm, we'll face it We'll fly bright all the while we stay blue The house don't fall when the bones are good When the bones I don't care, even if the glass, it shatters Yeah, we are unbreakable The pain could heal, the glass could shatter Let it rain, let it rain When there ain't a crack in the foundation Any hour, any storm, we'll face it We'll fly bright all the while we stay blue The house don't fall when the bones are good When the bones are good Okay. When the bones are good Really impressed. Jadine, you just really sang like you just like, I mean, it is in your blood, man. Jason, who would you choose if you were in Guy's shoes? If I were in Guy's shoes? Some really nice shoes, by the way. Thank you. I would have to go with the person that I feel like is the most individual, the person that would bring the most to the table in the industry today. And I would have to go with Bella on this one. Well, that's what your fellow coaches thought, Guy, but the decision is yours. Jadine or Bella, who won this battle? This is definitely tough. You know, I've asked you, Jadine, to really show me the artist within yourself and to believe it yourself. And you did that. Bella, the thing I loved about your performance, there's this real honest thing about you when you perform. You're an artist. You know, it feels like you wrote the song. It feels like you're telling the story. I guess for me, the artist I want to take through is someone I can continue to see grow. The artist that won the battle for me tonight is Bella. Jadine, you've just been an absolute joy to have with us here at The Voice. I've learned so much from this and I feel so much more confident now in myself, in my artistry. And it's definitely not the last you'll see of me. And thank you all for turning your chairs. Jadine, everyone.
