00:00:00The battles are here.
00:00:05In the blinds, it's just you on the stage.
00:00:07Next, you have to sing with other people
00:00:09and prove you have what it takes to win.
00:00:15In the battles, two artists will go head-to-head.
00:00:17Oh, my God!
00:00:19No way!
00:00:21They'll sing the same song, but only one can win.
00:00:24Whichever one of you breaks my heart the worst
00:00:27in this performance is probably going to win.
00:00:29Cool. That's good to know.
00:00:31Sorry about that.
00:00:33So I've got ten incredible artists on my team,
00:00:36but I need to get that down to five.
00:00:38Oh, I'm not gonna do it.
00:00:40I can't let either of you go home.
00:00:42I don't know what to do.
00:00:43Oh, this is brutal. This is brutal.
00:00:45I'm so glad I'm not you.
00:00:48But I have a lifeline for one lucky artist.
00:00:51Each coach gets one save that they can use on any artist from any team.
00:01:02It's time for you to be with a female vocalist as a mentor.
00:01:05I love Ronan, but he failed you.
00:01:07It's gonna be tempting to go with Ronan, the one that you know.
00:01:10All I want to say to you is, look where that's got you, okay?
00:01:13I'm gonna tell you right now, if any coach has an artist I want,
00:01:17I'm gonna take them for team retreat.
00:01:19I am wedged between two coaches who have stolen my team members.
00:01:22Maybe you should have coached them better.
00:01:26I didn't. I didn't.
00:01:27This is when the competition really heats up.
00:01:30No, I disagree with Kate.
00:01:32Well, let's watch the footage back.
00:01:33Wow.
00:01:34Is it cheating?
00:01:35I'm sorry, guys, I'm really struggling.
00:01:38I feel like...
00:01:39Well, look, guys, just give me a sec, because I'm...
00:01:42I just...
00:01:43I just...
00:01:44I just need to sort...
00:01:45Nah, what are you up to?
00:01:46I just need to sort something out.
00:01:47Just give me a minute, please.
00:01:48Please.
00:01:49I felt like I was watching two greats.
00:01:54You guys just blew the roof off this place.
00:01:57To win The Voice, it's more than singing.
00:02:01It's heart, soul, artistry.
00:02:04This is their chance to prove they have that.
00:02:09It was perfect.
00:02:10Yes!
00:02:11I'm looking for that superstar voice I can take all the way.
00:02:23Australia, welcome to the battles!
00:02:26Over three epic nights, our artists will go head to head,
00:02:30but only the best voices will survive.
00:02:33It's Do or Die Australia, and it all kicks off right now!
00:02:47Hello, welcome!
00:02:48Hi!
00:02:49How are you, Cecily?
00:02:50I'm good, how are you?
00:02:51Great to see you.
00:02:52I'm well.
00:02:53I'm really well.
00:02:54How are you feeling?
00:02:55Come in.
00:02:56Good?
00:02:57Yeah?
00:02:58Can you cough me?
00:02:59In her blind audition, Cecily had this beautiful, pure soprano voice.
00:03:03The kind of voice I've been waiting to hear.
00:03:06I can't wait to get under the hood and work with you one-on-one.
00:03:09Oh my gosh!
00:03:13I'm looking forward to finding out, is she up for a challenge?
00:03:16Is she up for pushing herself out of her comfort zone?
00:03:19I bet you'll want to know who you'll be singing with?
00:03:24Yeah!
00:03:25Well, I'm super excited to see your reaction.
00:03:28Here he is, come on in!
00:03:34Oh my gosh!
00:03:35Hey James!
00:03:36Hi darling, how are you?
00:03:37I'm great, how are you?
00:03:38Good to see you.
00:03:39You know Cecily?
00:03:40Hi!
00:03:41How are you?
00:03:42Good, how are you?
00:03:43And I want...
00:03:44At the Blinds, James was a four chair turn.
00:03:48He had so much originality, he completely reinvented the song Stand By Me.
00:03:54Why don't you stand by me?
00:03:58He really plays guitar for other people, and this is his chance to really step into the spotlight
00:04:03and own it for himself.
00:04:04Baby, please stand by me, yeah!
00:04:09Yeah!
00:04:12This is quite a contrast.
00:04:13Quite a contrast.
00:04:14Here we go.
00:04:15Cecily and James are both amazing in their own genres, but I'm really curious to see if
00:04:20they can break out of that and try something new.
00:04:23So this is a song about challenging your versatility.
00:04:28Your song for the battle is...
00:04:33I Was Made For Loving You by KISS.
00:04:35Woo!
00:04:36Woo!
00:04:37Here we go.
00:04:38Oh my gosh.
00:04:39Cecily, I need to see how far you can loosen up.
00:04:43You know, we're out of Phantom of the Opera world right now, and we're in like a dirty,
00:04:49dingy rock and roll club.
00:04:51Yep.
00:04:52You're on my turf now.
00:04:53Yep.
00:04:56Maybe I was made to rock.
00:04:58It hasn't been me yet.
00:04:59I guess we'll find out.
00:05:01Let's give it a bash and see how we go.
00:05:05One.
00:05:06Two.
00:05:07Three.
00:05:08Tonight.
00:05:10I wanna give it all to you.
00:05:13I did really notice James' accent today.
00:05:17His southern twang that he's got going.
00:05:19You made for me.
00:05:21I could see the terror on Cecily's face when she saw the lyric sheet, and then her part
00:05:31was literally, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:05:35She is free to improvise there.
00:05:38Here's your chance to show off.
00:05:40So you now have the flexibility within that bit to be as impressive as you possibly can
00:05:47be.
00:05:48So you can do anything you like.
00:05:49I think I've gotta really work on, I don't know, loosening up.
00:05:53I wanna push myself to show that I can sing more than just what's written on a page, and
00:06:00I can come up with my own stuff as well.
00:06:03James, you're gonna have to find a way to live inside that opening verse.
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:09And make us believe it.
00:06:10Sure.
00:06:11I feel like you've got a kind of like, is it a southern American twang thing going on?
00:06:17I guess so, yeah.
00:06:18I love that stuff, so.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20What I'd ask you to consider.
00:06:21Yes.
00:06:22Just dialing back the accent a little bit.
00:06:24Okay.
00:06:25Sure, yeah.
00:06:26It'll feel more real to us.
00:06:27For sure.
00:06:28I just want it to be as raw and emotional as possible.
00:06:31Right.
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:33And then you can do the full rock on stuff later.
00:06:35Yeah, sure.
00:06:36Yeah.
00:06:37That's just how I naturally sing.
00:06:38I think it comes from all the songs that I've grown up listening to and playing southern
00:06:42music.
00:06:43But hopefully I can find the fragility that she kept talking about.
00:06:46I believe in you.
00:06:47Alright.
00:06:48Let's do it.
00:06:49Oh my gosh.
00:06:50You got this.
00:06:51Yes.
00:06:56I've set these guys a massive challenge to really stretch what they can do as artists
00:07:01and not to just fall back on their old tricks.
00:07:03Whoever is prepared to go deep, do the work, and push themselves further than they've ever
00:07:09been pushed before, that's the artist that's going to win the battle.
00:07:31I can't.
00:07:32Do I have to say all of your best with you?
00:07:33Oh my gosh.
00:07:34I have to say all of your best and fun.
00:07:35Oh my gosh.
00:07:36To the artist that's going to work.
00:07:37I have a strategy for you.
00:07:38Oh my gosh.
00:07:39And I am.
00:07:40I am.
00:07:41I have to say all of my best friends.
00:07:42I am.
00:07:43I am.
00:07:44Here it's me.
00:07:45And to be a magic of a magic.
00:07:46So many of my best friends, in the dark, this is the right way to work.
00:07:48Let's say I'm.
00:07:49A magic of magic.
00:07:50Then I am.
00:07:51I have to give it all to you, our best friends.
00:07:52So many of my best friends, in the dark, my best friends, we are.
00:07:53Ideas, to be a magic of magic and love.
00:07:54To be a magic with magic.
00:08:01You were made for me
00:08:31I was made for loving you, baby
00:08:35You were made for loving me
00:08:38And I can't get enough of you, baby
00:08:42Can you get enough of me?
00:08:46I was made for loving you, baby
00:08:50You were made for loving me
00:08:53And I can't get enough of you, baby
00:08:57Can you get enough of me?
00:09:01I
00:09:03Want to give it all
00:09:11So much
00:09:31Kate, we're going to get your decision shortly
00:09:38But first, Richard, is there a clear winner of this battle?
00:09:42Not clear
00:09:42First of all, what an incredible song choice
00:09:45And I got to brag
00:09:46Because one of my dearest friends in the world
00:09:48Paul Stanley wrote that song
00:09:49And he would be
00:09:51He would have given you guys a standing ovation
00:09:54Because you guys each separately
00:09:56Made it your own
00:09:58Oh my goodness
00:10:00Thank you, sir
00:10:00Cecily
00:10:02For you to take that on
00:10:05And I know that that's such a
00:10:07Diametrically opposed kind of
00:10:09Song that you would normally do
00:10:11And you stepped up to the plate
00:10:14And smacked it out of the park
00:10:16It was
00:10:17Thank you so much
00:10:20It was really, really incredible
00:10:22Ronan, who came out on top?
00:10:25I agree with Richard
00:10:26It was a diagonally symmetrical performance
00:10:29What?
00:10:30I also used a baseball reference
00:10:33Which is great here in Australia
00:10:34Great performance, guys
00:10:38Kate, great job
00:10:39Working these guys up to this
00:10:41Thank you
00:10:41Seriously
00:10:41It's so exciting to see the progress
00:10:44From the blinds to the battles
00:10:46And Cecily, I can really hear
00:10:48All of the different flavours
00:10:50That already you've learnt
00:10:51From Kate
00:10:52Which is so cool
00:10:53James, you're a star
00:10:55You've got just enough guts
00:10:58You know
00:10:58Swagger
00:10:59Yeah, you got it
00:11:00You know when to push it
00:11:01You know when to use it
00:11:02You know when to hold back
00:11:03You know when to show your heart
00:11:04It's incredibly tough for Kate
00:11:06But if I was choosing it
00:11:07It would be James
00:11:07Melanie, two great artists here
00:11:14Who do you think had the edge?
00:11:15Oh, James and Cecily
00:11:17The duo we never knew we needed
00:11:19In our lives
00:11:20Oh my goodness
00:11:21Cecily, you know
00:11:23You showcased the amazing voice
00:11:26That you have
00:11:27But then you, you know
00:11:28You slotted into
00:11:29To the rockier vibe
00:11:30Which is incredible
00:11:31And James
00:11:33From the minute you opened your mouth
00:11:35Didn't miss a note
00:11:36Thank you
00:11:37I'm so proud of you guys
00:11:43You've worked so, so hard
00:11:44I mean this song has come so far
00:11:46Since our initial mentoring
00:11:47It's blown my mind
00:11:49Thank you for all your amazing work
00:11:51Thank you
00:11:53James, the way that we saw
00:11:56Your more vulnerable side
00:11:58In those opening verses
00:11:59And I really do respect
00:12:01To the way that you worked on
00:12:02Stripping back some of that
00:12:04Sort of Southern American drawl
00:12:05For me that was a bit of a barrier
00:12:07To emotionally connecting with you
00:12:10With you, James, as an artist
00:12:11And Cecily, you have so much talent
00:12:14You've shown through this process
00:12:16That you're open to anything
00:12:18And took on board all the notes
00:12:20But also made it your own
00:12:22The sky's the limit
00:12:23For your career
00:12:24Thank you
00:12:25Okay, to this decision time
00:12:32Who will you be sending through
00:12:35To the knockouts?
00:12:37Yeah, look, this is
00:12:38Fairly excruciating
00:12:40And you're so different
00:12:43The artist I'm taking through
00:12:54Tonight
00:12:56Is
00:13:01James
00:13:04I was so nervous to sing with Cecily
00:13:23She's such an amazing singer
00:13:24She knows so much about the voice
00:13:26And what she can do with hers
00:13:27And, you know, I yell in bars for a living
00:13:30So, you know, to sing with you
00:13:32Was something so special
00:13:33And I can't believe that we did that
00:13:35Thank you
00:13:38Congratulations, James
00:13:39You have won the battle
00:13:40You are going through to the next round
00:13:43Give it up one last time
00:13:46For James, everyone
00:13:47Now, Cecily, you could still progress to the knockouts
00:13:57If a coach chooses to use their save
00:14:01Coaches, will you use your save
00:14:04And keep Cecily in the competition?
00:14:08It's hard to see her leave, you know
00:14:09Yeah
00:14:09Coaches, time is up
00:14:17There are no saves there, Cecily
00:14:18Put your hands together
00:14:20For Cecily
00:14:21Thank you so much
00:14:26You should be so proud
00:14:28Absolutely touched it
00:14:30Well done
00:14:31Next up on The Voice
00:14:39Team Melanie
00:14:40Steps into the battle ring
00:14:42Don't go anywhere, Australia
00:14:44It's quite unnerving
00:14:58Looking at those big pictures, isn't it?
00:15:00Well, hello
00:15:05Hi
00:15:06How are you?
00:15:07Hi
00:15:08This battle is between my powerhouse DJ Meg
00:15:13Oh, look, we're rocking a little sports look
00:15:15Yeah, yeah, we've got a little swagger
00:15:16And my rapper, Zazz
00:15:19I knew it!
00:15:22I had a feeling it was going to be you
00:15:25Hey, Mel
00:15:25Hey you, how are you?
00:15:26I'm good, how are you?
00:15:27I'm good!
00:15:28Hi!
00:15:29Hi, I had a feeling
00:15:31For me, genre-wise, Meg and Zazz being together made total sense
00:15:36And their performances
00:15:37And their performances
00:15:38They were like Grammy award-worthy performances
00:15:41Well, everybody's free
00:15:43Oh, yeah
00:15:45To feel free
00:15:47In my blind audition, I did a mashup of three 90s house tracks and I DJed
00:15:51Everyone in the place was up dancing
00:15:53It was absolutely killer
00:15:54And I laid my eyes on you
00:15:58And now I am all about Team Mel
00:16:00To be honest with you, if either of you had gone anywhere else, I would have been really unhappy
00:16:05Oh, that was never happening
00:16:06That would have been
00:16:07That was never happening
00:16:08Yeah, literally never happening
00:16:14In my blind auditions, I rapped Savage by Megan Thee Stallion
00:16:19I really love the theatrics that can be added into a rap performance
00:16:22So I feel like I can learn so much of that from Melanie C
00:16:25Both of you do something that nobody else is doing in the show, right?
00:16:28Thank you
00:16:29This is why I am so excited about this particular battle
00:16:32It is challenging
00:16:33Because this is something that has never been done before
00:16:36But hey, who wants to follow? We want a lead, right?
00:16:39Exactly
00:16:40Okay, I've got a great remix
00:16:42Okay
00:16:43Of a song everybody knows
00:16:44Drum roll
00:16:46Dirty Cash, Money Talk
00:16:48Yes!
00:16:49Oh my god
00:16:50Yes, yes, that Money Talk is awesome
00:16:52That only makes sense
00:16:53Like the house music, the rap
00:16:54Like what other song would be like perfect for this besides that?
00:16:57Yep
00:16:58Meg?
00:16:59I want you to DJ
00:17:00Okay
00:17:01I'm excited about DJing again for sure
00:17:03I want to bring the energy of the party again to the stage
00:17:07And I'm really excited to do that with us this time
00:17:10There's a rap in there
00:17:12But we have been given clearance to be able to have eight bars of an original rap
00:17:19Oh, no way
00:17:20If you're up for the challenge of writing your own rap
00:17:22Yeah, definitely
00:17:23We can do that which is such an honour to be able to do that
00:17:26Yeah, that's so good, thank you
00:17:28Writing my own rap for Money Talks is super exciting
00:17:31But it does add a lot of pressure at the same time
00:17:33Because obviously it's something that the coaches wouldn't have heard before
00:17:37So if they love it, that's great
00:17:38But if they don't, it could really set me back
00:17:40Okay, should we give it a little go?
00:17:42One, two, three, four
00:17:45I've got no excuse
00:17:47I just want you to use me
00:17:50Meg came out a hundred miles an hour
00:17:52And I totally get it
00:17:54You know, she works in electronic music
00:17:55She's got big beats, big bass lines to cut through
00:17:58But I feel like with this song, we need to build that
00:18:01I want people to wait to really get what they came for
00:18:05Dirty cash, I need you all
00:18:07I'm dirty cash, the one that you asked for
00:18:09I want to mow the rich and the poor
00:18:10Ain't all about but you can't excuse it
00:18:12The way I'm living, I got to use it
00:18:16Writing is my favourite part of creating music
00:18:18I've already started thinking about what I'm going to do
00:18:21And I really want to mention each coach in the wrap
00:18:24In a really smart way that's specific and personal to them
00:18:27To show the coaches why I deserve to be here
00:18:29We're in a really good place, it's sound already
00:18:32I just know it's going to be amazing
00:18:34So homework, you know, you've got your eight bars to write
00:18:38I've already thought of Richard Mock's one, what I'm going to say
00:18:41Oh brilliant
00:18:42Meg, I'd like you to maybe to just come in
00:18:44Not necessarily softer
00:18:46Let's build that
00:18:47Let's not give everything away straight away
00:18:49Do you know what I mean?
00:18:51Don't give two cents
00:18:52Yeah
00:18:53Mel's mentoring was so good
00:18:54She made me kind of alter my approach to it
00:18:56Ease into it and let it go places
00:18:59If you come in at 100 there's not very many places that you can go from there
00:19:03So we've got an amazing performance to put on
00:19:06Yep
00:19:07But we've both got to really shine in this
00:19:09As well as working together as a team
00:19:11Yeah
00:19:15To win the battles, I've got to go out there
00:19:17Perform my arse off
00:19:19To my verse
00:19:21And show the coaches why I deserve to be here
00:19:27I feel like
00:19:29There's a lot more at stake this time around
00:19:32It's a battle, you know, like we're mates, that's everything
00:19:35But I have to remember that it's a competition
00:19:38And I want to win it
00:19:40It's game on
00:19:41It's game on
00:19:46Awesome
00:19:47Love it

00:22:23Check out the proof on our Shark Fam Cam
00:22:26Have a look at this
00:22:27This was going on in the audience
00:22:30Zaz, is that your mum?
00:22:32Yeah
00:22:33Bye mum
00:22:36Kate, who took the win?
00:22:38Oh god

00:22:41You guys just blew the roof off us
00:22:43Thank you
00:22:44Thank you so much Kate
00:22:45That was so cool
00:22:47Even just like walking in with your game faces
00:22:50Your shoulders
00:22:51It's like yeah these guys make business
00:22:52Yeah battle on
00:22:53And it was so beautifully curated
00:22:57Melanie like amazing song choice
00:22:59Just perfect for these guys
00:23:01You made it
00:23:03Personally I'd go with Zaz
00:23:05Because he's unlike anyone else
00:23:07Thank you
00:23:08And I think I speak for all of us
00:23:11That's the first time I think I've been name checked
00:23:13In a wrap
00:23:15So I loved it
00:23:16Wonderful performance
00:23:17And when it comes to the performance
00:23:19It really was neck and neck for me
00:23:21I think it was a dead heat
00:23:23But at the end of the day for me
00:23:25The name of the show is The Voice
00:23:28And Meg on that performance
00:23:30Yours was out of the floor
00:23:32Thank you
00:23:33Thank you so much
00:23:34Thank you Richard
00:23:36Melanie you can only put one of these artists
00:23:40Through to the next round
00:23:41I don't think I could have wished for anything more
00:23:45They've worked so hard together
00:23:47They've got a beautiful friendship
00:23:48Which I think really came across
00:23:50Yeah good show
00:23:51I love seeing Meg behind the decks
00:23:53So much more to think about
00:23:55Than just that incredible vocal that you gave
00:23:57We wanted to keep it small
00:23:59And really show that build
00:24:01We didn't want to give them the good stuff till the end
00:24:04I tend to peak too soon
00:24:05It happens
00:24:06Zaz
00:24:08I think probably the only person in the competition
00:24:10Who's actually written
00:24:12Their own part of the song
00:24:18You know the way you wrap your flow
00:24:20It's very different to how the song is originally
00:24:22But you nailed that
00:24:23You really sat back in it
00:24:24Thank you
00:24:25Thank you
00:24:28I'm in that place aren't I?
00:24:30I love you both
00:24:48Okay in all honesty I think the person that truly shone
00:24:52Incredibly in that performance
00:24:54The person who wins that battle for me
00:25:02Is Meg
00:25:05Congratulations Meg
00:25:06You're the winner of the battle
00:25:13Thank you so much
00:25:14Having your mentoring and your support
00:25:16Through this process has been so incredible
00:25:18I adore this guy
00:25:20He's so incredibly talented
00:25:22He's such a brilliant writer and performer
00:25:24To be honest
00:25:25I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else
00:25:26This was so much fun
00:25:27The whole experience was just absolutely incredible
00:25:33It's incredible
00:25:34Thank you
00:25:35Thank you
00:25:36Thank you
00:25:37Great job
00:25:38Hello Meg
00:25:41Zaz still has a chance to be saved
00:25:45Coaches
00:25:46You could add a new member to your team
00:25:48By simply using your save button in front of you
00:25:55Oh
00:25:57So hard
00:25:58So hard
00:25:59So hard
00:26:03Come on now
00:26:06If anyone can you can
00:26:09Time is up unfortunately
00:26:11You haven't been saved this time
00:26:13But I know
00:26:14We will see
00:26:15Zaz
00:26:16Out there
00:26:17Again
00:26:20This experience has been so fun
00:26:22Honestly I've loved every second of it
00:26:23I want to thank Mel so much for
00:26:25All the mentoring
00:26:26And the help that you gave us
00:26:29And congratulations to Meg

00:26:36We are here together for Zaz
00:26:38For the last time
00:26:44Next
00:26:45I really want to show Richard that I can win this battle more than anything
00:26:49I think Bianca really wants it but I want more
00:26:52Team Richard take to the battle arena
00:26:57I am so freaking proud of you two
00:27:01Plus more electrifying performances
00:27:03If this is where we are at the battles
00:27:05Where to next
00:27:06It's insane
00:27:07That was
00:27:08A spiritual experience
00:27:10As artists fight to secure their place
00:27:14You really do want your cake and eat it too
00:27:16Of course
00:27:17It's the only way
00:27:18In the knockouts
00:27:29What key are we in for this?
00:27:31E
00:27:34There she is
00:27:35Hello
00:27:36Hi Kate
00:27:37So this battle is between my country singer Kate
00:27:40And this undiscovered gem of a talent named Bianca
00:27:44How do you guys feel about being paired against each other?
00:27:46I'm excited
00:27:47I'm excited
00:27:48You've got a massive voice
00:27:49I'm super nervous though
00:27:50What makes you nervous?
00:27:51Because she's such an amazing singer
00:27:53Oh stop it, stop it
00:27:54So amazing
00:27:55It's nice when you have mutual respect right?
00:27:56Yeah
00:27:57I see you next to another
00:28:01For the blind auditions Kate showed up and sang my song, Right Here Waiting
00:28:04Which was quite a bold move
00:28:07Have you gone?
00:28:10Whatever you do
00:28:11I was so impressed, not just with her voice, but her reinterpretation of my song
00:28:18How my heart grows
00:28:20How my heart grows
00:28:21I will be crying
00:28:22Waiting for me
00:28:23I see you rain
00:28:24I see you rain
00:28:25I see you rain
00:28:27I see you rain
00:28:28I see you rain
00:28:30I see you rain
00:28:31Bianca was really quite something we were all sort of like blown away that
00:28:37that voice was coming out of that face because she's so young but she doesn't
00:28:42sound it she sounds like a seasoned veteran
00:28:49all right let's get into it you guys ready to know what song you're singing
00:28:52yes yes well this is a this is a really special choice for me because it's a
00:29:00song by someone who is iconic in Australia but is also a really dear
00:29:05friend of mine John Farnham and it's one of my favorite John Farnham songs and
00:29:09it's called that's freedom you guys know the song I know I know it a bit probably
00:29:16yeah the song did come out before I was born I do know the song but obviously I
00:29:22don't know it super well and we'll just do it in pieces a little bit okay so let's
00:29:25do the verse when I hit them with this song they both had that deer in the
00:29:29headlights look I don't think either of them really know the song very well I
00:29:32probably need to hear it a little bit first I don't know what you want from so
00:29:37it's hard for me to mentor them while I'm teaching them the song gonna be yeah and
00:29:43they're gonna have to figure out their take on it so that it sounds like they own it and
00:29:48from the mountain to the valley Bianca something like that you gotta come right in there
00:30:03they're gonna have to figure out their take on it so that it sounds like they own it and that
00:30:13it's their song and the key to that I think is less about the notes and about convincing the
00:30:22listener that they're really meaning every word that they're singing in the time we have before you
00:30:28perform this you're gonna need to know this song truly like as it's as if it's part of you so that
00:30:36all you're focused on is delivering it in a way that knocks everybody out and that we believe every
00:30:44word this is a really powerful lyric so I really want you to think about what you're singing and what
00:30:49you're saying live breathe eat and sleep this song yep can do you know selfishly it's John Farnham is
00:30:58not just John Farnham he's my friend so I want you guys to do him proud okay I have a lot of work to
00:31:05do before the battle I think I just really need to knuckle down and learn the song inside and out and be
00:31:11as confident with it as I can be in order for me to win this battle I just need to really find that
00:31:17connection find the reason why I'm singing it I'm going to give this battle absolutely everything
00:31:23I can otherwise I will be going home and I can't let that happen
00:31:47what you want from me or what you want from me or what you think a love ought to be
00:31:53I want something that's open and as strong as a country this role is moving on
00:32:01from the mountain to the valley from the ocean to the island from the highway to the river
00:32:13I want an emotion to deliver
00:32:17one heart one way one way one love
00:32:29to share but not to change that's freedom
00:32:34it's the sun of the heart
00:32:36eyes and the wind
00:32:38a light in the dark
00:32:40that's freedom
00:32:42it's a reason to leave
00:32:44and after the rain
00:32:46rekindle the spawn
00:32:48let freedom reign
00:32:50oh
00:32:52oh
00:32:54all I want is a flash lane too
00:32:56where the road across this plane won't take you
00:33:00I want someone to understand
00:33:02I want someone to understand
00:33:04to make me stand proud
00:33:06it has nothing else to say
00:33:08that's freedom
00:33:10it's the song of the heart
00:33:12a race of the wind
00:33:14a light in the dark
00:33:16that's freedom
00:33:18it's a reason to live
00:33:20and after the rain

00:34:54I love you both

00:39:37Alyssa
00:39:38I knew this was going to be
00:39:39an epic battle
00:39:40I'm losing my mind
00:39:44just a little
00:39:45yeah
00:39:46Elephone
00:39:47ridiculous singer
00:39:48four chair turn
00:39:50standing ovation
00:39:51one of the best blind auditions
00:39:53I've ever had
00:40:01I fought hard for both of you in the blinds
00:40:03you've got to fight hard for me in the battles
00:40:05I'm excited
00:40:06you want to know what song you're singing?
00:40:07yes
00:40:08yes please
00:40:09yes please
00:40:10Gravity by John Mayer
00:40:12ooh

00:40:17yeah
00:40:18I know the song
00:40:19I want you to make it your own
00:40:21gravity
00:40:23is working
00:40:27technically
00:40:29they both have outstanding voices
00:40:31they both have all the vocal tricks
00:40:33gravity
00:40:35yeah
00:40:36yeah
00:40:37and sometimes with all the acrobatics
00:40:39it's overkill
00:40:40they can over sing the song
00:40:42keep me where the light is
00:40:44just keep me where the light is
00:40:48yeah
00:40:50using those moments once or twice in a song
00:40:52they blow you away and you go
00:40:54wow that was epic
00:40:55and then the rest of the song
00:40:56you give us the heart and the soul
00:40:58and the emotion
00:40:59through your vocals
00:41:00the thing that I probably am most scared of
00:41:02is both of you over singing it
00:41:04you have this beautiful tone
00:41:08both of you
00:41:09crazy good singers
00:41:10but just sing the song
00:41:12just sometimes you just sing the melody
00:41:14the talent between the two of them
00:41:17is insane
00:41:18but whoever moves me the most in this performance
00:41:20will be going through to the knockouts
00:41:22the pressure is seriously on for you guys
00:41:24you're the best I've got
00:41:25I don't want to lose either of you
00:41:27I don't want to lose either of you
00:41:33if I don't stand out in my own way
00:41:36I will most definitely be
00:41:37left in the dust by Arisa
00:41:41the challenge is definitely
00:41:42trying to make it my own
00:41:44but trying to stick to the original melody
00:41:47is also really important
00:41:53I want to win this battle

00:44:35oh
00:44:37I have been lucky enough to be a coach
00:45:06on The Voice all around the world.
00:45:08I have never witnessed a performance,
00:45:11forget a battle, a performance like that on The Voice.
00:45:19If this is where we are at the battles,
00:45:21I mean, where to next?
00:45:23It's insane. It was brilliant, guys.
00:45:24I'm so proud of both of you. So amazing.
00:45:29Good job putting them up against each other.
00:45:30Yeah, great idea, Rona. Well done.
00:45:32You really stepped in it, dude.
00:45:34Like, what were you thinking?
00:45:36I know.
00:45:37There were moments in that performance
00:45:39when I felt like I was watching two greats.
00:45:43Alyssa, just incredible.
00:45:45It's so natural.
00:45:46Your voice, it just flows out of you.
00:45:49And then Elephant, it's like,
00:45:50it just comes from the depths of your soul,
00:45:53and it embodies every part of your body.
00:45:55It's beautiful to watch as well as to listen to.
00:45:59If I had to, based on this performance we've just seen,
00:46:02I think I'd be edging towards Elephant.
00:46:04Just...
00:46:08That was a spiritual experience.
00:46:12I mean, I barely drew breath for that whole thing.
00:46:14You seemed so comfortable on stage,
00:46:17and you were living and breathing inside that song together.
00:46:20I think this is such a tough choice.
00:46:22But for me, I'll always have a soft spot for Alyssa,
00:46:26because I was the one that found her in the crowd,
00:46:28and I think she's incredible.
00:46:29Oh, jeez.
00:46:31I mean, stop milking her.
00:46:32Sorry.
00:46:33Fine, you found her.
00:46:34It's a fact.
00:46:35It's just a fact.
00:46:36She's just reminding you, Ronan.
00:46:37It is now up to you, Ronan.
00:46:39Only one of these amazing artists can go through to the knockouts.
00:46:43Who's it going to be?
00:46:45I don't know how I think...
00:46:48You have to.
00:46:49Honestly, nobody won, and nobody lost.
00:47:00It was perfect.
00:47:01It was so perfect.
00:47:03Your harmonies, your energy, your individuality.
00:47:08It was just your tone.
00:47:09It was gorgeous.
00:47:10It was brilliant.
00:47:11It was beautiful.
00:47:11It's everything.
00:47:12Everything I'm looking for.
00:47:13So I don't know how I lose one of you.
00:47:19The artist that won this battle...
00:47:31I can't not have you on my team is Elephon.
00:47:35Elephon, you're going through to the knockouts.
00:47:37Congratulations.
00:47:38Oh, man.
00:47:39Well done.
00:47:40Wow.
00:47:41One more time for Elephon.
00:47:42Everyone.
00:47:43Sadly, Alyssa is now at risk of going home.
00:48:02I didn't even get to finish.
00:48:06Can't believe you got in there first.
00:48:11All four coaches have decided to save you.
00:48:17They all want you to stay in the competition.
00:48:25The power is now in your hands.
00:48:31So let's start with Kate.
00:48:33Here we go.
00:48:34Well, I found you.
00:48:35I found you in the audience.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:38It's my turn.
00:48:40Alyssa, we belong together.
00:48:47I know it's maybe...
00:48:49It's going to be tempting to go with Ronan.
00:48:52You know, go with the one that you know.
00:48:54All I want to say to you is look where that's got you, okay?
00:48:57I'm ready.
00:49:00I'm here with the safety net.
00:49:02Ready to catch you.
00:49:03Nice pitch break.
00:49:05I can't believe you said that.
00:49:08Ronan, why should Alyssa stay on your team?
00:49:11Because she shouldn't go to Team K.
00:49:13Just as simple as that.
00:49:15Just because.
00:49:17Alyssa, I know how to guide you.
00:49:21I know what to do with your voice.
00:49:23As a mentor, I know how to get you there.
00:49:25And I'll get you all the way to the final on Team Ronan.
00:49:28Alyssa, I love Ronan, but he failed you.
00:49:33He failed you miserably.
00:49:34I didn't.
00:49:35I didn't.
00:49:36I was 50-50.
00:49:37I'll tell you why I think you were failed.
00:49:41When you guys sang together, it was magical.
00:49:44Because it was even.
00:49:46What was chosen for you to sing on your own,
00:49:49as opposed to what Alyssa sang,
00:49:51I feel like it favored him in terms of the choice of notes,
00:49:55the moments for you to stand out.
00:49:58And a really good coach and a really good producer
00:50:01knows not to do that.
00:50:03Interesting.
00:50:05So I think that going forward,
00:50:06you need somebody who's going to watch out for you in that way.
00:50:08And that's me.
00:50:09Interesting.
00:50:10Interesting.
00:50:12Watching that performance tonight,
00:50:14it was like, it's way too soon for you to be going anywhere.
00:50:17You belong here.
00:50:18I haven't got anyone like you in my team.
00:50:21I feel like it's time for you to be with a female vocalist
00:50:24as a mentor.
00:50:25Yes.
00:50:26And I want that to be me.
00:50:33The question is,
00:50:34will you stick with your original coach, Ronan?
00:50:38Will you move to a new team?
00:50:44It's a really tough decision.
00:50:45I do love you all.
00:50:46We are really tough to hear a match at this event.
00:50:50The question is, will you stick with your original coach, Ronan?
00:51:19Will you move to a new team?
00:51:22It is a really tough decision.
00:51:24I do love you all, but I think I'm going to go with Kate.
00:51:35Congratulations.
00:51:36You are now part of team Kate.
00:51:39Well, amazing.
00:51:40Thank you so much.
00:51:42You won't regret it.
00:51:44You might regret it.
00:51:45You might regret it.
00:51:46You might regret it.
00:51:48Well done, well done.
00:51:49I'm very, very proud of you.
00:51:51Well done.
00:51:58Unbelievable.
00:51:59Revenge is sweet.
00:52:01I don't think Kate had a winner on her team.
00:52:03Now she does.
00:52:05Things have been rectified now, and everyone's in their right place.
00:52:09I'm queen.
00:52:10Better bow down when I step on the scene.
00:52:17This battle is against Cherie and Lily.
00:52:21I'm the best thing that you've ever seen.
00:52:24Cherie and Lily are my risk takers.
00:52:26Cherie came out with her beautiful samba dancing, wild singing.
00:52:30Wild singing.
00:52:31And then Lily coming out doing a Spice Girl song for a Spice Girl.
00:52:41That is a risk.
00:52:42That was worth taking.
00:52:43For this battle, I've chosen Training Season by Dua Lipa.
00:52:53It's deceptively difficult.
00:52:56It's quite rangy.
00:52:58You know, there's some real lower notes and it goes right up in the range.
00:53:02I felt that both Cherie and Lily could really showcase their vocals on this song.
00:53:08I really want to show Mel and Issy I can have the stage presence, but also nail down these vocals.
00:53:17It is a bit of a hard song.
00:53:19There's a lot of pressure.
00:53:20Lily's an incredible performer, but I have to make sure that I'm better.
00:53:27Whoever can prove they've got a powerful and adaptable voice will win this battle.
00:53:34Beautiful.
00:53:35Awesome.
00:53:36They look awesome.
00:53:38Are you someone that I can give my heart to?
00:53:47Or just the poison that I'm drawn to?
00:53:51It can be hard to take the difference eight at night.
00:53:57Play it fair.
00:53:59Is that a compass in your nature?
00:54:03Or are you tricky?
00:54:04Cause I've been there.
00:54:06And baby, I don't need to learn my lesson twice.
00:54:12Not a relief.
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:14I'm glad you're here.
00:54:15I was a baby.
00:54:16I was a baby who can go there.
00:54:19I was a baby.
00:54:20I wasn't.
00:54:21Cause I don't wanna have to show you.
00:54:22I was a baby.
00:54:23He's a baby who can go there.
00:54:25I know you
00:54:27Cause you should know
00:54:29There's no one to hold me close
00:54:31Deeper than I ever know
00:54:33I look like a rodeo
00:54:35Knows just how to take control
00:54:37And I'm at the
00:54:39He's straight talking to me so
00:54:41Conversation all alone
00:54:43Cause training season's over
00:54:45Training season
00:54:49Training season
00:54:51Training season's over
00:54:55Training season is definitely over I think
00:55:09Look at these amazing outfits
00:55:11Guys you are awesome, the energy was great
00:55:15You got the four of us standing up dancing
00:55:17That's very rare
00:55:19So the energy was brilliant
00:55:21You're both channeling Dua Lipa
00:55:23The duo Dua
00:55:25Yeah
00:55:27Lily, I think
00:55:29Sometimes you were just trying to force the vocal
00:55:31And I know why
00:55:33You've got 90 seconds to shine
00:55:35You have the talent, you have the ability
00:55:37Sit back in your vocal a little bit
00:55:39Cause when you force it, it seems a little harsh at times
00:55:41Sheree, I think
00:55:43You're just born to be on the stage
00:55:45It's who you are, you're a performer, I can see that
00:55:47From that performance
00:55:49I would choose Sheree
00:55:51I actually have to disagree
00:55:55For my money
00:55:57Don't disagree with me
00:55:59I mean
00:56:01Both of you have magnificent voices
00:56:05But I love the depth
00:56:07The roundness
00:56:09The sort of chocolatey alto-y thing
00:56:11That you have going on Lily
00:56:13You're both amazing
00:56:15But if it were me, I'd be going with Lily
00:56:17Thank you
00:56:19Melanie, that's what the other coaches thought
00:56:21Have you worked out
00:56:23Who you're taking through to the next round?
00:56:25Well, you've both made it so hard for me
00:56:29Gosh, gosh, gosh
00:56:31I'm so proud, you've both come so far
00:56:37It was really important
00:56:39We wanted to bring it back to the vocals, didn't we?
00:56:41We wanted to clean things up
00:56:43You listened, you took everything on board
00:56:45You've literally surpassed my expectations tonight
00:56:47It was so good
00:56:55The artist
00:56:57Who won this battle
00:56:59For me
00:57:01Is
00:57:05Lily
00:57:07Well done, Lily
00:57:09Well done, wow
00:57:11You are progressing to the next round
00:57:13On team Melanie C
00:57:15Oh my god
00:57:17Thank you
00:57:19Tears
00:57:21No tears
00:57:23This is a happy moment
00:57:25You're going through to the next round
00:57:27Thank you so much for believing in me
00:57:29And wanting to see me go further
00:57:31Because I love you and I'd love to
00:57:33Show you more, thank you
00:57:35My pleasure
00:57:36Put your hands together one more time
00:57:37For Lily
00:57:38And darling
00:57:39You were brilliant
00:57:40You were brilliant
00:57:43Cherie, no saves for you tonight
00:57:45But let's make some noise for Cherie
00:57:48Well done
00:57:49Well done
00:57:50Oh my love
00:57:51I'm sorry you were brilliant
00:57:53You were so good
00:57:55Please keep singing
00:57:56Keep dancing
00:57:57Well done Cherie
00:57:59Well done Cherie
00:58:07Next up on The Voice
00:58:09Team Kate
00:58:10Steps into the battle ring
00:58:11Don't go anywhere Australia
00:58:15This is the party
00:58:31So this battle is between my two true blue Aussies
00:58:34Charlie and Brenton
00:58:36I grouped Charlie and Brenton together
00:58:38Because they both have this beautiful Aussie salt of the earth character about them
00:58:44Oh yeah
00:58:46Life's going nowhere
00:58:50Somebody help me
00:58:54But they're also capable of being really raw and vulnerable on stage
00:59:18My dad had an accident at work
00:59:19Pretty much half his brain is gone forever
00:59:22Music
00:59:23It's something me and dad can do together
00:59:26Play guitar together
00:59:28So the song you'll be singing for your battle
00:59:31Is Fade Into You by Mazzy Starr
00:59:34Oh yes
00:59:35You know that song?
00:59:36Love it
00:59:37Yeah I love it too
00:59:38Cool
00:59:39Like it's a bit of a left field choice
00:59:40I love a bit of a left field choice
00:59:41You know it's a female vocalist
00:59:43It's like an iconic 90s song
00:59:46That'd be great
00:59:47Hell yeah
00:59:48The gist of this song is
00:59:49How beautiful and also how strange it is to almost evaporate into another person
00:59:56That sort of transformational feeling of being in love
01:00:00It's a very exposed piece of music
01:00:02There's nowhere to hide as a singer
01:00:04You ready to give it a go?
01:00:05I'm ready
01:00:06Are you sure?
01:00:07Yeah
01:00:08Absolutely
01:00:09I wanna hold the hand inside you
01:00:16This song is deceptively simple
01:00:18It's the same melody over and over
01:00:20I look to you to see the truth
01:00:24So they're going to have to bring a high level of artistry to keep that compelling for us
01:00:30To show us what they can do vocally
01:00:33How they can stay connected to the emotion of that song
01:00:36To transcend the simplicity of it
01:00:39Strange you never knew
01:00:45It's going to be a challenge
01:00:46Should we just try the harmony verse?
01:00:48You live your life
01:00:49You live your life
01:00:50You live your life
01:00:51Yep
01:00:52You live your life
01:00:53You go in shadows
01:00:56In shadows
01:00:57Just don't overshoot
01:00:58Shadows
01:00:59Yeah yeah yeah
01:01:00Sorry
01:01:01They've both got great voices
01:01:02This song is so emotional
01:01:04So whoever can tell that story
01:01:06Will win the battle
01:01:07Which one is going to move me the most?
01:01:10There is nowhere to hide in this song
01:01:14It's delicate
01:01:16And every word and phrase counts
01:01:20I think my emotional side
01:01:23Is going to be an advantage for me singing this song
01:01:32Being able to tell the story is going to be really crucial in order to win this battle
01:01:36Going up against such a big powerhouse voice like Brenton's
01:01:39I definitely need to make sure that all the subtleties in my voice are spot on
01:01:44To impress Kate enough to be her choice moving forward
01:01:48I want to hold the hand inside you
01:01:49I want to take the breath that's true
01:01:51I want to take the breath that's true
01:01:53So Aussie eh?
01:01:54Yeah
01:01:55Great
01:01:56I want to take the breath that's true
01:01:57So Aussie eh?
01:01:58Yeah
01:01:59Great
01:02:00I want to take the breath that's true
01:02:01So Aussie eh?
01:02:02Great
01:02:03So Aussie eh?
01:02:04Yeah
01:02:05Great
01:02:06I want to take the breath that's true
01:02:13I want to take the breath that's true
01:02:15I want to take the breath that's true
01:02:19So Aussie eh?
01:02:20Yeah
01:02:21Great
01:02:22So Aussie eh?
01:02:23So Aussie eh?
01:02:24Yeah
01:02:25Thank you
01:02:26Oh
01:02:27It's true
01:02:28It's true
01:02:29I just like you
01:02:31So I just like you
01:02:32to see the truth, you live your life, you go in shadows, you come apart and you go blind,
01:02:53some kind of night into your darkness, your darkness colors your eyes with what's not there.
01:03:10Fade into you. I think it's strange you never knew.
01:03:27Fade into you. Strange you never knew.
01:03:44So much emotion from Brenton and Charlie.
01:04:00Cronin, in your eyes, who stood out the most?
01:04:03Oh, look. Yeah, nah, sucked in.
01:04:07It was just so Aussie. I loved it. Brenton, I love your tone, man.
01:04:11It just, it's... Thanks, man.
01:04:14Charlie, I mean, you're so dynamic. You're only in the infancy of your career.
01:04:19But you've got so much talent and ability. Thank you very much.
01:04:23But if I was to choose, I think Brenton won this battle.
01:04:28Yeah, I do.
01:04:31But I have to be honest, I love that song, but I thought it was an odd song choice for the two of you.
01:04:36And it frankly left me cold.
01:04:39Neither of you really embodied it.
01:04:42It's such a vibey song and I heard all the thinking going on instead of just surrendering to this beautiful melody.
01:04:49Like I wanted to love it and I didn't.
01:04:52So that performance didn't really do anything for me.
01:04:54But if I'm going to pick, it's Charlie.
01:04:59Thank you, Richard.
01:05:00Kate, did you want to counter anything that Richard just said?
01:05:05Look, I mean, I can't help but agree on some level and it's my fault.
01:05:11And it's tricky in that it's a mid-tempo, mesmerising song without a big money note or without a lot of dynamics, actually.
01:05:19But personally, I love the way you sang it.
01:05:25Brenton, I love your Aussie accent when you sing.
01:05:28You do it so effortlessly.
01:05:30It's really you.
01:05:31You found your sound.
01:05:33You're a true artist.
01:05:36And Charlie, you have a gift.
01:05:41You're a born communicator and you are a channel for that emotion in a beautiful way.
01:05:47At times, I feel during that performance, you lost contact with that.
01:05:50And maybe it's nerves, maybe it's inexperience.
01:05:53I think that's something that you would need to work on in future, just keeping that focus on the communication.
01:06:00This is a nerve-wracking environment, so it's hard.
01:06:03This is the hardest stage you can ever perform on, I think.
01:06:07I'm so torn about this.
01:06:10I really am so conflicted.
01:06:13Ultimately, I need to take forward the artists that I think I can do the most with.
01:06:19But I think you both have careers in music, absolutely.
01:06:23There's no doubt about that.
01:06:33There's no doubt about that.
01:06:36The artist who has won this battle is...
01:06:40…Charlie.
01:06:41Good job.
01:06:44He's 17, but he's won the battle.
01:06:48Congratulations, Charlie.
01:06:50How do you feel?
01:06:52I feel on top of the world, really.
01:06:53Congratulations Charlie, how do you feel?
01:06:57I feel it on top of the world really.
01:07:00The whole experience is mind-blowing for me.
01:07:03You were so up for it.
01:07:07What was it like for you to sing in front of your mum and dad?
01:07:10It's really special.
01:07:12There are always all my shows I play and any gig it is.
01:07:16They're always there.
01:07:17It's the best support I have.
01:07:19Put your hands together, Charlie, everyone.
01:07:23Well done, Meg.
01:07:24Well done.
01:07:25That was incredible.
01:07:27So proud.
01:07:28Well done.
01:07:39Brenton, I'm afraid your time in the competition is over.
01:07:43Thank you so much.
01:07:44Put your hands together for Brenton.
01:07:46Thanks so much.
01:07:47See you guys.
01:07:49Well done.
01:07:50It's so lovely to work with you.
01:07:52I would absolutely love your voice.
01:07:55You did such a fantastic job.
01:07:56Cheers.
01:07:57Appreciate it.
01:08:09Next.
01:08:10This is the battle of the behemoths.
01:08:12It's family man versus family member.
01:08:16I can't let either of you go home.
01:08:19I don't know what to do.
01:08:20We do need a decision, Ronan.
01:08:22This is brutal.
01:08:23I'm so glad I'm not you.
01:08:25The artist that won this battle.
01:08:31Came from the bottom.
01:08:33Now I'm the king.
01:08:35I'm the king.
01:08:36I'm the king.
01:08:41This is the party.
01:08:42This is the party.
01:08:43This is the party.
01:08:49Mitchell, welcome to the battles.
01:08:50Guess you want to know who your battle partner is.
01:08:52I'm dying to know.
01:08:53Okay.
01:08:54Well, please welcome.
01:08:55Chris.
01:08:56Hi, mate.
01:08:57How are you?
01:08:58How are you?
01:08:59How are you?
01:09:00This is the battle of the behemoths.
01:09:03Oh, we're going to have fun, man.
01:09:05I put Chris and Mitchell together because they're both massive singers.
01:09:10Mitchell, what a vocalist.
01:09:12These beautiful things that I've got.
01:09:14Please say I want you, I need you, oh God.
01:09:21And Chris, I mean, he's incredible.
01:09:24Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away.
01:09:31You know what?
01:09:32You don't pick me.
01:09:33There's going to be family trouble.
01:09:34If you go anywhere else, I'm going to be so hurt.
01:09:36I need to fill you in, Mitchell.
01:09:38You won't have known this, but we're related.
01:09:44What?
01:09:45Yes.
01:09:46My wife's cousin is Chris's partner.
01:09:48No way.
01:09:49It's a little bit intimidating that Chris has a personal connection with Ronan.
01:09:54Good to see you, buddy.
01:09:55I hope he can put that aside and just watch what's on the stage.
01:09:58But this is a fair battle.
01:10:00Yeah.
01:10:01And, you know, I have my coach's head on.
01:10:03So don't be worrying about it.
01:10:04All right, all right.
01:10:05Ronan, he's making it a super fair fight.
01:10:08Whoever gets the job done makes it through.
01:10:12Okay.
01:10:13The song that you'll be singing for your battle is Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi.
01:10:20Maybe one of the most epic songs of all time, honestly.
01:10:23No pressure.
01:10:24Jon Bon Jovi, one of the great vocalists.
01:10:28Those high notes that he could hit in the 80s.
01:10:30Ooh.
01:10:31I have put so much pressure on these fellas.
01:10:33I feel guilty, actually.
01:10:34So let's do the first chorus together a cappella.
01:10:37Mitch, so you can hear the harmony.
01:10:38Let's get that right for you.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:40Just give him the note.
01:10:41I want to lay you down in a bed of roses.
01:10:54Oh, shit.
01:10:56I don't think I've ever had anyone come out and nail it in the first time.
01:11:03Not like that.
01:11:04Not like that.
01:11:05Oh, man.
01:11:06This is going to be something else.
01:11:08For tonight, I'll sleep on a bed of night.
01:11:17That high C is not in my range.
01:11:20Chris, anything you're worried about in this battle?
01:11:22Just that one note.
01:11:24The high C?
01:11:25Yeah, yeah.
01:11:26Just the high C.
01:11:27That one note.
01:11:28Warm up properly beforehand.
01:11:29Don't reach with your neck when you go for it.
01:11:31Yeah.
01:11:32So just stay relaxed.
01:11:33Yeah, keep it down.
01:11:34Don't stretch your vocal cords.
01:11:35Mitchell, anything you're worried about?
01:11:36Um, just the harmonies.
01:11:38Why would you be worried about the harmonies?
01:11:40Listen, man, you're just literally a cappella dropped straight in.
01:11:43Don't let your mind look for the harmony note or the lyrics.
01:11:48It's there.
01:11:49You know you know it.
01:11:50And it's that moment where you go panicking, looking for it,
01:11:53because you go, and then you go in the wrong place.
01:11:55Yeah.
01:11:56When you have the talent and the ability, have faith in that.
01:11:58That's really good advice.
01:12:00It's in my brain.
01:12:01I know it.
01:12:02I just have to rely on that coming out.
01:12:05I love the energy between the two of you.
01:12:09I do want you to shine, though, individually as well,
01:12:12because I have to choose.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:14So show me you deserve to be here.
01:12:15Go smash it.
01:12:16Yeah.
01:12:17It is so, so important that I win this battle and make it through the next round.
01:12:30If there can only be one winner, I have to think of my family.
01:12:34I have to think of me first.
01:12:35And I'm pretty desperate to win this battle.
01:12:37I want to win.
01:12:39Mitchell, I hope you bring your A-game,
01:12:42because me and my high seed is coming.
01:12:44No, no.
01:13:02Sitting here, wasted and wounded,
01:13:04at this old piano.
01:13:08Come on, Mitchell.
01:13:10Trying hard to capture the moment.
01:13:13Better this morning. I don't know
01:13:17All right, let's go
01:13:25And I think she's still in my bed
01:13:32It's a dream about movies they won't make me when I'm
01:13:42I lay down in a bed of roses
01:13:49For tonight I sleep on a bed of males
01:13:57I wanna be just as close as
01:14:02The Holy Ghost means
01:14:06May You die
01:14:13I wanna lay down in a bed of roses
01:14:23For tonight I sleep on a butterfly
01:14:28I wanna be just as close as
01:14:35The Holy Ghost stands
01:14:38And we lay you down
01:14:41And we lay you down
01:14:45On a bed of roses
01:14:48On a bed of roses
01:14:49On a bed of roses
01:14:50On a bed of roses
01:14:51Ronan
01:14:52Gentlemen, that was spectacular.
01:15:10Ronan, I can see that your brain is ticking over here.
01:15:15Why did you do this to yourself?
01:15:17I know. This is a ridiculous, stupid idea.
01:15:20Dude.
01:15:20I know.
01:15:21This is a tough one.
01:15:22Amazing, boys. Well done. Proud of you.
01:15:24Nice work.
01:15:25Thank you, Tony.
01:15:27Stunning.
01:15:27I always loved the sound of Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora's voices together.
01:15:32I forgot all about them during that performance.
01:15:35Chris, when you start singing, you don't sound like anybody else.
01:15:39You sound like you.
01:15:42And that, that alone gives you an edge in my ears.
01:15:48And Mitchell, I was really impressed with you and the blinds.
01:15:52I had no idea what you were capable of until that performance.
01:15:56Like, you're so much better than even I thought you were.
01:15:59I was, I was, I was really impressed.
01:16:04Thank you so much.
01:16:05You both rocked the crap out of that.
01:16:10But by a hair, I got to go Chris on that one.
01:16:14Melanie, Ronan has a very pained expression on his face and I can hear him breathing, which is sort of annoying.
01:16:22Let me, let me just take that in.
01:16:24Let me just soak that in for pain.
01:16:27Ronan in pain.
01:16:28That's awful.
01:16:28That gives me joy.
01:16:29It happens a lot.
01:16:31Thanks, Mel.
01:16:32Goodness me.
01:16:33I mean, remarkable vocals from both of you.
01:16:36And Mitchell, your voice is like, it's just so warm and beautiful and so commanding.
01:16:42And then with Chris, I was like, oh, you know, I, I'm not sure about this song.
01:16:46I want, I want more soul.
01:16:48Do you know what I mean?
01:16:49But then when you hit that huge note, I was like, this boy can rock.
01:16:54So I think because Chris surprised me with where he took it, I think he would be my battle winner tonight.
01:17:05I'm struggling.
01:17:06Like, Chris, your tone is so unique.
01:17:08It's so impressive what you've been through and to get here and to be on this stage.
01:17:11I'm so proud of you.
01:17:12And Mitchell, you sang with so much heart.
01:17:14You always do.
01:17:15The emotion that you bring in the performance, I totally believe you.
01:17:18Well, I can't let either of you go home.
01:17:25I don't know what to do.
01:17:27I'm so glad I'm not you.
01:17:30We do need a decision, Brian.
01:17:38I have to go on this battle.
01:17:41It's the only way I can decide.
01:17:43We do need a decision, Brian.
01:18:12I have to go on this battle.
01:18:16It's the only way I can decide.
01:18:18The artist that won this battle
01:18:21is Mitchell.
01:18:31Oh, tough choice.
01:18:33I'm going to be excommunicated from the family now.
01:18:36That's really out.
01:18:37Mitchell, you've won the battle.
01:18:39You're going to the knockout.
01:18:40I did not expect that at all.
01:18:42Wow.
01:18:43I'm over the moon.
01:18:44Thank you so much, Ronan.
01:18:46Great job.
01:18:46Well done.
01:18:47Great job.
01:18:47Put your hands together, Paul.
01:18:49Mitchell, he's going through to the knockout.
01:18:51Well done, mate.
01:18:52That was beautiful.
01:18:53Totally engaged.
01:18:54You can save him.
01:19:04You can save him.
01:19:06I didn't mean that to ask.
01:19:16I see what you're up to.
01:19:17I mean, it was the only way.
01:19:19You really do want your cake and eat it too, don't you?
01:19:21Of course.
01:19:21It's the only way.
01:19:23So Ronan, Richard and Melanie have all pressed their save button.
01:19:27They all want you on their team.
01:19:29Now you get to decide because they have to pitch.
01:19:32The power is in your hands, Chris.
01:19:34Who do you want to hear from first?
01:19:36I'll start with my family member.
01:19:39Go your heart.
01:19:39You know, it's fine.
01:19:40I don't even have to pitch.
01:19:41We're family.
01:19:42It's fine.
01:19:43He's obviously coming back to me.
01:19:46No, look, Chris, you know I love your voice.
01:19:49Forget our connection.
01:19:51I had no idea in the blinds it was you.
01:19:54I turned because of your voice.
01:19:56I love, I love what you can do.
01:19:58I love how you deliver.
01:19:59That performance was magical.
01:20:01It was mesmerizing.
01:20:03And I know how far we can go.
01:20:04I can get you all the way to the final.
01:20:06So come back here and I'll get you there.
01:20:10Chris, listen man, everybody makes mistakes.
01:20:15And you clearly made one when you chose Ronan over me.
01:20:20The key is to not make the same mistake twice.
01:20:25I've said it to you from the minute I heard you sing In the Blind.
01:20:28I believe that I am the perfect coach for you.
01:20:30I believe I am.
01:20:32I don't care what you believe.
01:20:35Melanie C, why should Chris choose you?
01:20:37I was so moved in your blind audition.
01:20:42And then here tonight, you did take my breath away.
01:20:45But I don't believe that that was the best direction for you, genre-wise.
01:20:51And at Team Melanie C, I think we could explore things that would really,
01:20:55truly make you shine beyond anything we've heard yet.
01:21:00Wow.
01:21:00OK.
01:21:01Three good pitches.
01:21:03Will you stick with your original coach, Ronan,
01:21:06or will you move to a new team?
01:21:09Tell us what you're going to do, Chris.
01:21:11The coach, I'll choose.
01:21:14We need a decision.
01:21:28Richard!
01:21:33Richard!
01:21:34Richard!
01:21:35Is Richard.
01:21:36You are going through to the next round, Chris Bulldog.
01:21:58Go and celebrate.
01:22:00All right.
01:22:03Yes!
01:22:05Celebrate.
01:22:06So commiserate.
01:22:13It's OK.
01:22:14I'll forgive you.
01:22:14I forgive you.
01:22:21I think I need to make a call.
01:22:24Unbelievable.
01:22:25Nasty moves.
01:22:26Two of Ronan's team have now gone to other coaches.
01:22:29Oof.
01:22:29OK.
01:22:30You have to bring that up as well.
01:22:32They're fleeing like rats.
01:22:34I am wedged between two coaches who have stolen my team members.
01:22:39This is a terrible place to be.
01:22:40Maybe you should have coached them better.
01:22:42Oh.
01:22:44Oh, Richard and Ronan.
01:22:46Will you ever be friends again?
01:22:47We weren't friends before.
01:22:49Oh, is that?
01:22:49We were never friends.
01:22:50Next time on The Voice.
01:23:04Yes!
01:23:06The battles intensify.
01:23:09That was so unbelievable.
01:23:12Like goosebumps everywhere.
01:23:14I'm so proud of both of you.
01:23:17I'm literally just catching my breath.
01:23:19What a moment.
01:23:21With only Mel and Ronan holding on to their saves.
01:23:26It's only Mel and I.
01:23:28Securing a spot is tougher than ever.
01:23:36But is the weight of the competition getting too much for Ronan?
01:23:42I'm sorry, guys.
01:23:44I'm really struggling.
01:23:45I feel like...
01:23:46Well, look, guys, just give me a sec.
01:23:48Because I'm...
01:23:49I just...
01:23:50I just...
01:23:50I just need to sort...
01:23:52Nah, what are you up to?
01:23:52I just need to sort something out.
01:23:53Just give me a minute.
