00:05Walking alone in the shards alone
00:09Unmistiful prince makes the mind
00:13Shards the waves in the sand of Washington
00:17Your rhythm keeps my heart intact
00:22You, you, you found me
00:25Make me into something new
00:29Yeah
00:30Let me do that if it is water
00:33I promise not to carry on for you
00:39Oh, I'll carry on for you
00:43I'll carry on for you
00:48I'll carry on for you
00:50Oh, I'll carry on for you
00:54Don't feel it in your devotion
00:57I wonder if you hear me too
01:01Hey!
01:01I dwell on every moment
01:05Deliveries that won't me do
01:09You, you found me

01:55Shouting those words to you on stage
01:57Like I am so grateful

02:15Wow, I'm speechless
02:18Because
02:20That song is actually a
02:22A really personal song for me
02:24It's actually a really sad song
02:26Yeah
02:27It's about missing somebody
02:29Then we turned it into like a huge dance record
02:31But the point of that is
02:33You kind of really brought it back to the purpose
02:36So thank you
02:36Oh, thank you so much
02:38Thank you
02:38Yeah

03:09Thank you
03:12Yeah
03:13Well, that's what music is about
03:15You know what I mean?
03:16I'm happy that I was able to help you in any way
03:19Oh, thank you
03:22So we talk about your amazing audition
03:24Yeah
03:25Yeah?
03:26You ready for this?
03:27Yeah
03:27I'm in love with you
03:28I think you're fantastic
03:29I think you're amazing
03:33You have something I don't have on my team so far
03:37You know
03:38I've actually leaned a lot into the more sort of mature kind of
03:41Not well behaved
03:42But I would say like
03:43They definitely have their like vision of what they want to do
03:45And how they want to sound
03:47So I'd love to have you on my team
03:49Oh, I love that
03:50Love that, thank you
03:57Hey, Cruz
03:59Hey, how are you?
04:00Good, thank you
04:01Lovely to meet you
04:02Lovely to meet you too
04:03And what an impeccable performance that you shared with us
04:06Thank you very much
04:07Oh, thank you
04:09So, hey
04:11I know you just sung a Rita Ora song
04:15But let's not be predictable now
04:18You know what I mean?
04:19Yeah
04:19I mean, let's take a risk
04:21And go with Jessica Malboy's team
04:24I mean
04:26Let's not do that
04:27Just as...
04:28Yeah, let's do that
04:29Yeah
04:30No
04:31Honestly
04:32But hey, honestly
04:33I think the way that you portrayed your story through that song
04:38You know, that really excites me
04:39I really see us working together on drawing more upon that
04:44I guess in terms of your performance
04:46Okay, thank you Jess
04:47We could create a map of where you are now to where you want to be
04:52Okay, I'm there
04:53You know what I'm saying?
04:54You know what I'm saying?
04:54I think we've had enough of that, haven't we?
04:56You know what I mean?
04:57Yeah, 100%
04:58But let's not be predictable here
05:00Of course
05:01I mean
05:02We know how much you love Rita
05:06But you could learn to love me
05:11And you can learn to work with me
05:14And not feel bad about not choosing Rita
05:20Listen, it's up to you
05:21Good luck
05:21Welcome to The Voice anyway
05:22Look
05:23Welcome
05:29A huge moment
05:31No matter what
05:33No matter what
05:35It's going to be great
05:40I think I'm going to have to go with Artie Rita
05:47Artie Rita
05:48I love that
05:50You know what?
05:51That was amazing
05:52That was so, so amazing
05:53Thanks for sharing your story, man
05:55I mean, it's so hard to like
05:57Share it
05:58So, I appreciate you being super, super open about that
06:00Thank you so much
06:01Thank you
06:02Listen, I will be your auntie whenever you want
06:05So, who have you got with you?
06:06I've got my fiancé
06:07I've got my partner
06:08And my younger brother
06:09Alright, let's go
06:11This is Keanu
06:12Hey Keanu
06:13Nice to meet you
06:14Hello
06:15Hi, I'm Natalie
06:16Oh, nice to meet you
06:17Are you guys proud?
06:18Yes
06:19So proud
06:20We're going to have a good time
06:22Auntie Rita in the building
06:25See you soon
06:26See you soon
06:31Hey
06:36I'm Auntie Rita now
06:38First of all, where I'm from
06:40Being called Auntie is a huge honour
06:43It means you've like made it into the fold
06:45So, I'll take it
06:46I'm very happy
06:47I'm so, so excited that he chose me
06:49I've got eight on my team
06:50Oof
06:51And that means I only have four spots left
06:54Oof
06:54Guys, I literally think
06:56If I win the voice the second year in a row
06:58Don't say it
06:59Don't say that
07:00I don't know what would happen
07:01Don't say it yet
07:02What's about to happen
07:02You've got to be an honour in Australia
07:05Then he'll get you a passport
07:09My name is Cruz Karatiana
07:10I'm 32 years old
07:12And I'm living on the Gold Coast
07:15My sister is a huge inspiration in my life
07:20We always used to watch the show growing up
07:22Like as kids
07:23And it was always a dream for both of us to perform together
07:28Back in 2018, I lost my sister
07:32She was attacked at a party
07:34When she passed, I went to a really dark place
07:44And it was either do something stupid
07:47Or come here and do something more
07:51And I know that she definitely would have wanted that for me
07:55I'm Cruz and this is my sister
08:01I wear this necklace
08:05She gave this to me before she passed
08:07And I wear it whenever I perform
08:09Just to remind me of why I'm here
08:14So I'm singing a Rita or a song
08:15And I've done my own version of the song
08:17I've just slowed it down just a little bit
08:20And just put my own spin
08:23This song is very, very challenging and technical
08:28Some of those notes are quite high
08:31I hope Rita loves it
08:32But I am a little bit petrified that she doesn't like it
08:35I feel like my whole life's come to this moment
08:43I just really want to do this song justice
08:45And just make my sister proud
