ANNOUNCER:
Previously on The Voice...

Team Richard and Team Melanie C

face the Knockouts.

(SINGERS VOCALISE)

I absolutely love
what you did with that song.

You keep surprising me.

You nailed it.

Absolutely nailed it.

That's such a big compliment.

With only two artists
from each team...

Euan.

Cassie.

..earning a place
in the semi-finals.

Bella. Joseph.

Team Kate and Team Ronan
take on the Knockouts...

The knockouts are a bloodbath.

Oh.
Pretty brutal.

Essentially, you're singing
for a spot in the semi-finals.

Which is stressing me out.

(LAUGHTER)

..as these artists
fight for a chance...

I had goosebumps
when you performed that song.

..to sing for their lives
in the Showdowns...

(SINGERS VOCALISE)

I've never seen you
perform like that, ever.

..as Kate and Ronan
face their toughest decision yet...

This is...this is so rough.

I want to take
everybody, but I can't.

Can I?

Wait? Are you gonna
start changing the rules now.

..with shocking repercussions?

We're gonna throw all kinds
of spanners in the works here.

Welcome to The Voice Australia.

It is time to kick off another
exhilarating night of Knockouts

as Team Ronan and Team Kate
are set to take to the stage.

By the end of tonight Australia
your top eight will be decided.

But, it all starts right now.

And first up, it's Team Kate.

# It's a knockout...

This Knockout is between

my country rocker James,

my aerialist Amber,

and Alyssa,

who I stole from Ronan.

Welcome, Alyssa.

Amber. James.
Hey.

You guys are gonna
be together for the Knockouts.

Ah.
(LAUGHTER)

How do you feel?

Alyssa's fresh.
Newbie.

She's fresh off
the boat to Team Kate.

Do you like it so far?

Team Kate's great... I love it.

In the battles I sang
against Ellaphon.

The artist that won
this battle is Ellaphon.

Ronan picked Ellaphon,
but I got saved by all four coaches.

I'll always have
a soft spot for Alyssa

because I-I was the one
that found her in the crowd,

and I-I think she's incredible.

Thank you. And I went with Kate.

Thank you so much.

Alyssa, how do you feel
being grouped against these two?

(SIGHS) I don't know.

Like, they're both crazy good.

I feel like I finally met my match.

Yeah, it's not easy
sharing a stage with Amber.

Subtle, I swear.

James and Amber are both
consummate performers.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Occasionally, their vocals suffer

because the showmanship
tends to take precedence.

Whereas Alyssa is the opposite.

Her vocals are exquisite,

but sometimes her inexperience
can show a bit on stage.

So, I'm hoping they might
rub off on each other.

We're all gonna be singing...

Australian songs.

Fantastic.
Yes!

It's just something
I'm so passionate about.

Yeah.
Love it.

And, James...
Yeah.

..your song will
be 'Working Class Man'...

Oh, come on now.
..by Jimmy Barnes.

Here we go. Great.
Yeah.

This song, it means so much to me.

I believe in what it's saying.

And I believe in who it's for.

I don't want to mess up.

This will be your first time
not playing guitar.

Yeah.

So, you got nothing
to hide behind this time.

I know.
What do I do with my hands?

# Father, son left to carry on

# Blue denim in his veins...

Hey, James,
can we just start that again?

Can we just have it
without the-the swaying?

Sure. Yeah.
Yeah. Be still.

Just focus on the story,
the lyric only at the beginning.

It takes quite a lot of courage

to just stand on stage
and be completely still.

# Working hard to make a living

# Bringing shelter
From the rain... #

Yeah. Nice. Beautiful.

Not playing guitar

and singing a song
that means so much to me.

I think I'll be feeling
pretty vulnerable.

Amber, your song will be...

'Don't Call Me Baby'
by Madison Avenue.

Oh!

So, 'Don't Call Me Baby'
isn't my usual wild,

flamboyant energy.

It's held and I-I know
that's gonna be a challenge.

Obviously, it's not big,
crazy, flashy vocals,

and I'm quite keen to almost
play into the delivery of

just standing there
and owning the message.

I think that
is perfect for you right now.

Yeah.
We'll take the movement away.

Yeah.

And you can prove to everyone
that you're here as a vocalist.

I do think it is the right move

because we're getting to the pointy
end of this competition.

If you can't hold your own vocally,

you're not gonna be here
for much longer.

Alyssa, the song
you'll be singing for your Knockouts

is 'Chains' by Tina Arena.

One of the greatest singers
to walk the earth.

It's such a belty song

and there's so many things
that could go wrong with it.

It definitely is daunting.

Two, three, four.

# Your arms are warm
But they make me feel

# As if they're made of cold
Cold steel... #

You sing with young singers
or singers who are green.

You can sort of see
their nerves on their face.

This is a song full of frustration
and inner turmoil.

It's a really vulnerable song
in a way.

I would love to see your eyes
as much as possible.

I just get really bad anxiety

when it comes to performing
in front of people.

I just have
this idea in my head that

I'm gonna freak out on stage.

It's just about being
able to harness those nerves

and being able to use them.

I think this is actually
a perfect song for you.

I'm in chains.

It can be you railing against
that nervous shadow self

that's an emotion
you can really use in this song.

Definitely.

# Ooh, let it rain... #

As you know,
there are no saves left,

so, two of you will make it through
to the Showdown.

But sadly, one of you
will be going home.

I feel so determined now.

My heart's so in it.

# We have arrived
At the end of days... #

I really don't want
to be going home.

I don't have the vocal Olympics.

I don't have all the tricks.

But I'm not ready to go home.

(SONG PLAYS IN BACKGROUND)

The Knockout starts now.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# Your arms are warm,

# But they make me feel

# As if they're made
Of cold, cold steel

# Can't move my arms

# Can't lift my hands,

# I won't admit to where I am

# But I know, baby

# I'm in chains

# Oh, oh

# Should have known passing
Through the gate

# That once inside
I could not escape

# I never thought this
Could happen to me

# Never thought this is where I'd be

# Baby, baby

# Baby look at me

# I'm in chains! #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Whoo! Holy moly.

Are you kidding me?

Jesus.

What did I get rid of her for?

Damn.
Why did I get rid of her?

I know. Good job.
Unbelievable.

Thanks for that.
Yeah.

Holy moly.

# You and me

# We have an opportunity

# And we could make it
Something really cool

# But you, you think
I'm not that kind of girl

# I'm here to tell you baby
I know how to rock your world

# Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on

# Don't underestimate me boy
I'll make you sorry you were born

# You don't know me
The way you really should

# You sure misunderstood

# Don't call me baby

# You got some nerve
And, baby, that'll never do

# You know I don't belong to you

# It's time you knew
I'm not your baby

# I belong to me
So, don't call me baby

# You got some nerve, baby
That'll never do

# You know I don't belong to you

# It's time you knew
I'm not your baby

# I belong to me
So, don't call me baby. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# I'm working hard
To make a living... #

Yeah.

# Bringing shelter from the rain

# Find the sun left to carry on

# Blue denim in his veins

# Oh, he's a working class man

# He believes in God and Elvis

# He gets out when he can

# He did his time in Vietnam

# Still mad at Uncle Sam

# He's a simple man

# With a heart of gold
In a complicated land

# Oh, he's a working class man

# Oh, Ohh

# Now he's a working class man

# Oh-oh-oh

# He's a working class man. #

Oh, amazing.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Alyssa, Amber and James.

What a knockout.

I love how you showcase
all those Aussie anthems.

So, good.

Oh, my gosh.

Ronan, did you make a mistake
in letting Alyssa go?

Thank you, Sonia.
I appreciate that.

Yes, I did.
I mean, Alyssa, that was insane.

Thank you.

We're at that point in
the...in the...in the show

where it's only good stuff.

You know, it's only
the good stuff right now.

And I have no idea
how she chooses two of you.

Melanie, who won that for you?

I enjoyed all of the performances.

Alyssa, I think any
of the great divas

would have been happy
with that performance.

It was incredible.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Um Amber, it is so fun to watch you

and, like, you perform from
the minute you step on that stage.

I think the world is your stage.

That's right.
You know what I mean?

Lights up the stage.
That's so nice to see.

And, James, again, brilliant.

Absolutely loved it.
All that rasp in your voice.

But there was one moment
where you pulled it right back,

and it was just so lovely to see
and feel that moment.

So, yeah.

Excellent performances all round.
Thank you very, very much.

Yeah, well done.
Thank you.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

The question is, Kate,

who delivered enough to make it
through to the Showdowns.

Oh, look, Alyssa,

you have such a natural gift.

You're just freakishly good.

And I think you're a
very, very special talent.

Thank you.

Amber, you are
just a force of nature.

And your energy on stage
is so joyful.

You know, you're a
consummate performer

and you've thought of everything.

Thank you.

Truly.

James, I had goosebumps
when you performed that song.

You're absolutely magnetic on stage.

Thank you, Kate.
And it's-it's not just the voice.

It's everything.

Thank you very much.

So, who are you
gonna take through, Kate?

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(TENSE MUSIC)

The two artists I'm taking you to

the showdown are...

Alyssa...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

..and...

James.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Alyssa and James.

You live to sing another day.

You'll be singing for a place in
the semi-final in the Showdown

a little bit later on.

Congratulations, James.

Congratulations, Alyssa.

Well done, guys.

Aw, now I'm sad, though.
Me too.

Thank you all so much. Thank you.
It's been a pleasure.

Put your hands together for Amber.

Well done, Amber.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

I'll be in touch.

That was...that
was...that was spectacular.

Well, Australia,
the night is just getting started.

When we come back,
Team Ronan takes to the stage.

Let's go!

# This is The Voice. #

So, this knockout is Ella,
Mitchell and Cle.

(SINGERS VOCALISE)

Your voice moved me.

But your story

and that you're here
for your-your kids.

You've got a home at Team Ronan.

My absolute soul singers.

They bring so much heart
to a performance.

There's so much ability.

They're going up against each other.

You guys are my big singers,
you know?

You understand what it takes
to deliver a performance.

How do you feel about the other two?

It's a good reminder
that we're at the pointy end

and that everyone is really good.

So, got to be on your game.

Vocally
these guys are the top of the top.

It's probably the most scared
I've been.

The theme from my Knockouts
with you guys.

'70s, '80s, '90s.

These are big songs
I'm giving you individually.

I don't think a lot of artists
in-in this contest

could handle these songs.

Don't be scared
to make these songs your own.

That's what we're looking for
as coaches more than anything.

So, Cle, I'll start with you.

The song that I'm giving you
is 'Roxanne' by the Police.

Oh.
Yeah.

Yeah, it's a monster.

It's such an iconic song.

I'm reluctant, I suppose,
to change a song

that's just been done so well
by the original artist.

That bit scares me.

Alright. Mitchell.

The song that I've chosen for you is
'Broken Wings' by Mr Mister.

I know that one.
You know that song.

Yes, I know that.
Yes.

I don't think
I've ever performed it, though.

It's a big sing.

It is. Yeah.

This song's got
a lot of space and stillness.

It's gonna be a big challenge for me
to try and add my own flavour

without doing too much.

OK. Ella.

The song that I've chosen for you
'Crazy' by Seal.

You know it?

You don't know it.

Oh, OK. We got some work to do.

I thought he was talking
about Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy'.

Yeah, definitely scared.

# But we're never gonna survive
On unless...

# We get a little bit crazy... #

You can have fun with this.

Come on. A bit of Ella.

You know,
I'd love to see Ella enjoy himself.

It's about owning that moment
and putting your heart

into a performance,
being a true performer.

How old is your daughter?

Ten, ten weeks.
Ten weeks old.

What are you like at home as a dad?

Are you the same person
or do you become silly Dad?

I guess I'm a mixture of both.

I'm silly,
but then she calms me down.

Silly is good.

And I'd like to see
you a little bit more silly in you.

Because you are so composed.
You have this incredible talent.

I'd love to see you enjoy
what you are capable of doing.

This will mean the world to me.
For my girl.

I want her to look up to me
as a father.

# Ooh, yeah... #
Come on.

I have to really double down

to get the song
where I need it to be.

# When we hear the voices sing

# The book of love will open up
And let us see... #

I'd love to see from Mitchell
a little bit more of an edge.

There's a little bit
of musical theatre that comes

in sometimes in your performances.

OK.
Push away from that on this one.

A bit more rock star.
OK.

Part of me always tries
to perfect everything.

Make everything sound
as nice as it can.

So, I think if I can bring
a bit more rockstar energy,

it's gonna be more real and raw.

# I love you since I knew you

# I wouldn't talk down to you

# I told you once
I won't tell you again

# It's all by the way. #

The pressure of singing Sting
and the boys next to me.

And...

I just was like, whoa!

Yeah, sorry. I feel a bit nervous.

I know the weight
of what you're bringing emotionally

to all of your performances.

This song, you can kind of leave
a little bit of that baggage behind.

Please.

Well, she's dealing
with a lot of grief,

and there's a lot of heavy sorrow.

Just have fun.

OK.

It's alright
to just to let go for a minute.

It's not forever,
it's just for this moment.

And this is for you. Yeah?

It's not gonna be easy
for her to do that.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, the Knockouts
are gonna be tough.

Essentially, you're singing
for a spot in the semi-finals.

I'll see you out there.

Thank you.
Good luck.

Thank you.

I don't want to go home.

Before coming here,
I had fully forgotten what joy is.

And I'm not ready to not feel it.

I'm a little worried
going against Ellaphon and Cle.

This will be the hardest
performance of my life.

My anxiety levels
are through the roof.

Am I even worthy to be here
against these beasts of singers?

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Come on.

Are you nervous?
Yeah. Very nervous.

Really nervous.
Yeah.

Because they're so good.

Yeah.
I'm really.

Come on. You can do it. I got you.

Come on.

# A man decides After 70 years

# That what he goes there for

# Is to unlock the door

# While those around him criticise
And sleep

# Yeah

# Ooh

# In a world full of people

# Only some want to fly

# Isn't that crazy... #

Yeah, come on.

# Yeah

# In a world full of people

# Only some want to fly

# Isn't that crazy

# Crazy... #

Come on.

# Everybody sing with me, hey

# But were never gonna
Survive unless

# We get a little crazy

# Crazy, crazy

# Get a little bit crazy. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Go, Ella! Well done, buddy.

# Baby, don't understand

# Why we can't just hold on

# To each other's hands

# Ooh... #

Nice, nice.

# Oh... #

Come on.

# So, take these broken wings

# And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free

# When we hear the voices sing

# The book of love will open up

# And let us in

# Take these broken wings

# You've got to learn to fly

# Learn to live and love so free

# And when we hear, the voices sing

# The book of love will open up
for us

# And let us in, yeah. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Well done, Mitchell.

Yeah, man.

# Roxanne

# You don't have
To put on the red light

# Oh, those days are over

# You don't have to sell your body
To the night

# I loved you since I knew you

# Oh,
I wouldn't talk down to ya... #

Come on.

# Tell you once
I won't tell you again

# It's a bad way

# Roxanne

# You don't have to put
On the red light

# Roxanne

# You don't have
To put on a red light

# Put on a red light... #

Yeah, come on.

# Put on the red light

# Put on the red light, oh. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Yeah, whoo! Whoa.

Ellaphon, Mitchell and Cle.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Wow.

That was unbelievable.

Also, Mitchell,
I did want to tell you.

Your gorgeous little
baby boy Charlie is in the audience.

I think Cle might have woken him up.

I think we have him

on our shark fan cam.

Aw, there he is.

How old is he now?

He'll be two next week.

Two next week.
Gorgeous isn't he? Right.

I digress. Melanie,
three huge songs there.

It was brilliant.

I feel like we saw a slightly
different side to Ellaphon actually,

I really enjoyed that.

You know, cheeky little smile
was coming out a few moves there.

Mitchell,
love your voice in that song.

A little bit pitchy in parts,

but when it was in the right spot
it was soaring.

And then, Cle, I love it
'cause you're like composed

and then you just hit us
between the eyes.

You've got every beat down
and then it ends in composed again.

It's like...
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

That's me.

It's like...it's like the music
just like makes you alive.

Yeah.

You know,
and we could all feel that.

Yeah, it was wonderful.

So so good.

Well, Ronan, three amazing artists.

Only two will get a pass through
to sing again.

I can't choose.
Do you not want to ask Richard? No.

Richard.

I... I'm sitting this one out.

OK, OK, fine.

I will say...

Good luck, buddy.
Thanks.

(LAUGHTER)

I really appreciate that.

That has changed everything.
(LAUGHTER)

Team, I'm so bloody proud
of the three of you.

I mean...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

You know, you've all really shone
brighter than you ever have.

Ell, you're just...

You're in your own lane, man.

Ain't nobody touching you.
You're in your own lane.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Mitchell, from musical theatre vibes
to, you know,

you're a rock star dad now.

Thank you, thank you.

Cle, what can I say?
What a journey we've been on.

It's so incredible to work with you.

You're amazing.
Same.

You're amazing. You're amazing.
Amazing.

So...

I don't know how I choose two.
I don't know what to do.

I want to take everybody,
but I can't.

Can I? No, I can't.

You have two Knockouts,
so, you can take two from this team

and two from the next team.

Wait, are you gonna start
changing the rules now?

You can only have four people
in the Showdown.

But if I took three,

that means I can only take one
in the next.

That's correct.
Oh.

The artists I'll be taking through
to the Showdown are...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# This is The Voice. #

The artists I'll be taking through
to the Showdown are...

(TENSE MUSIC)

Cle...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(TENSE MUSIC)

..Ellaphon and Mitchell.

I'm taking the three.
Let's go. Let's go.

Take everyone. I can't.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

I can't choose, I can't do it.

Wow.

Yeah!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

OK, so, just to make sure
everyone understands

the history going forward,
and you can only take one person

from your next Knockout.

I get it,
I know it's crazy but I can't.

I don't want to burst
everybody's bubble over here, but...

I know, I know.

You are going into the Showdown

where you'll have
to sing again tonight.

And then only two will go through
to the semi-final.

Are we all clear?
Yes, I'm clear, Sonia.

I get it.
Excellent.

Well, Congratulations.

Head on down. Go backstage.

Get ready, you guys. See you. Bye.

Amazing, guys.
You're so bloody good.

You stepped it. You stepped it up.

Now, it's Team Kate's turn
to take to the stage.

There are three artists,
but only two spots in the Showdown.

Or are there?

Giving it their all
to secure a place?

It's Jayd, Sienna and Charlie.

Whoo.

# Five, four, three, two, one
Here we go... #

This knockout is between

my cool guitarist Sienna,

my pop singer Jayd...

and my undiscovered gem, Charlie.

# Here we go! #

Welcome, everyone.

So, the theme that I've chosen
for you three is iconic bands.

So, the lead singers of these bands
are people that really know

who they are.

And that's what I'm hoping

that you guys can bring
to this challenge.

Sienna, Charlie and Jayd
are still figuring out

who they want to be as artists.

This is the biggest challenge yet,

taking on a classic song
and making it your own.

Sienna, you are going to be singing
'Come Together' by the Beatles.

Oh, wow.
That's sick.

It's a big feat
to put a fresh take on a song

that everyone's heard
a million times.

You have to bring something

of your own to it.

# He wear, no shoeshine

# He got toe-jam football
He got... #

It is a challenge

because it is
such a repetitive song.

When you did a bit of variation
on the melody,

I think you could feel free to do
that a tiny bit more, you know,

show off a bit of your vocal chops.

OK, yeah, yeah.

It's gonna require
all of Sienna's musicianship

to keep it compelling
from start to finish.

What if it was even half that?

Like...

# Together right now... #

It's the sexiness.

I feel like
if we can keep that space

and that raunchiness

so, that we'll forget
about the Beatles

and believe that
this is Sienna's song.

# Come together right now

# Over me... #

Yeah. Awesome.

Charlie, you will be singing
'Champagne Supernova' by Oasis.

That's-that's perfect.
Yeah?

Oasis are one of my favourite bands.

This song will be really interesting
for you because so far,

we've seen a vulnerable side to you.

# Is this one more tear to cry

# One tear upon my...

# Eye... #

Can I ask what moved you
to tears at the end of that song?

Music.

It's something me and Dad
can do together.

Play guitar together.

This is more of a-a banger.

So, I'm really curious to hear
what you do with this.

Yeah.

'Champagne Supernova',

it's got so much power
and rockiness.

It's definitely gonna be tough.

# But you and I we live and die

# The world's been spinning around

# We don't know why, why

# Why... #

You need to commit all the way
through to the very end of the song.

Yeah.

It's...

# Why? #

Only a tiny "ee" at the very end.
Yeah.

Just make sure we get...

Have that commitment
all the way through.

He's so good at that vulnerable,
emotional storytelling.

This song is a bit more muscular.

It's a bit more up tempo,
so, it is a challenge.

Alright, Jayd,
you are gonna be singing Meat Loaf,

'I'd Do Anything for Love'.
Do you know that song?

Yeah.

Hmm, it's not something
that I feel like

it's in my general repertoire.

I just feel like
the world is crumbling around me.

I thought you might have
this kind of reaction,

but I really wanted
to challenge you.

It's so over the top.

Think of it
as though it's from a musical.

I'm anxious about how it could go.

I don't know
if I'll be able to pull it off.

# And maybe I'm crazy

# Oh, it's crazy and it's true

# I know you can save me

# No-one else can save me now
But you... #

This song choice
is a challenge for her.

I think she might hate it,
but that's OK.

Sometimes we have to sing songs
we hate,

and we have to find a way
to make it your own.

I...I...I think you're up to it.
Alright?

There's a big expectation
that I will be able to deliver.

And I don't know if I...

can do it.

I don't know if that's...
I've got it in me.

# This is The Voice. #

# Sky is the limit
I want it all and I'll get it

# Feel so good when I'm winning

#You better move outa my way... #

This Knockout's gonna be

insanely tough.

I'm singing a song
that I don't know.

A song that is a vocal marathon.

It's gonna be the biggest
challenge I've faced so far.

I got a lot of nerves,

but I'm not ready to go home yet.

I'd love to be in the semi-finals.
I'm gonna give this Knockout 100%.

60 seconds is a really short time

to prove to Kate
that I have something

that the other contestants
don't have.

If I were to go home
after this round,

I would be pretty disappointed.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Whoo!

Alright. Whoo.

# And I would do anything for love

# But I won't do that

# No I won't do that

# And some days it don't come easy

# And some days it don't come hard

# Some days I don't come at all

# And these other days
It never rains

# And maybe I'm crazy

# I'm crazy and it's true

# I know you can save me

# No-one else can save me
Now but you

# As long as the planets are turning

# As long as the stars are burning

# As long as your dreams
Are coming true,

# You better believe it

# That I would do anything for love

# I would do anything for love

# I would do anything

# For love

# But I won't do that

# But I won't do

# That. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# Here come old flat-top
He come grooving up slowly

# He got ju-ju eyeball

# He one holy roller

# He's got hair down

# To his knees

# Got to be a joker
He just do what he please

# He wear no shoeshine
He got toe-jam football

# He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola

# He say

# "I know you, you know me"

# One thing I can tell you
Is you got to be free

# Come together right now

# Come together

# Right now

# Over me. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Whoo.
Holy moly.

# How many special people change?

# How many lives
Are living' strange?

# Where were you
While we were getting high... #

Come on, Charlie.

# Slowly walking down the hall

# Faster than a cannonball

# Where were you
While we were getting high?

# Someday you will find me

# Caught beneath the landslide

# In a champagne supernova
In the sky

# Someday you will find me

# Caught beneath your landslide... #

Come on, man.

# In a champagne supernova
a champagne supernova

# 'Cause you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning 'round

# We don't know why

# Why, why, why. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Jayd, Sienna and Charlie...

what a line-up.

Ronan.
Yeah.

'Champagne Supernova', I mean...

I mean, yeah, a great song.
All great song choices.

Charlie, I have to ask you,
how are you feeling, man?

I just...
You look a bit shell shocked.

Yeah, I wasn't-I wasn't happy
with the start.

Yeah.
Did something happen at the start?

Oh, just...

I think it was just
all the nerves kicking in.

I saw you struggle a little bit
in the beginning,

and I felt like
you righted yourself.

I feel like you got the wheels back
on track.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you very much.

And there's something
about your voice

that has always appealed to me
in a way

that I feel like
you're still untapped potential.

I feel the same way
about Sienna, too.

Jayd, I thought, you know,

you have such
a beautiful instrument.

And that's a very challenging song.

I felt like that performance
was full of great moments

and some really not great moments,

and there was an inconsistency
throughout that.

I was like eugh.

'Cause I know that your instrument
is better than that.

In Jayd's defence,
she absolutely hated this song.

Her face was like...

But I get you were probably like,
I've done.

You're trying to push her out
of her comfort zone...

Yeah, absolutely.
..to see what she can do.

I know.

Jayd, you're just an absolute master
at singing pop.

You know, female pop songs.
You've got that in the bag.

I was thinking
what else could she do?

And-and I don't think

that was your best performance
of that song.

I don't know.

I feel like it is hard to connect
to a song um,

when you've done
it a few different times...

And you start
to over think it and...

Yeah, I'm really sorry
that I couldn't deliver in that way.

Oh, my god.

No, no, I mean,
you're also so great at learning.

And I give you a note once,
and you've got it instantly.

You've got an incredible voice.

It's such a flexible instrument,
and I love to listen to it.

Well, Kate, the time has come.

Which two of your young guns
are you going to be taking

to the Showdown?

Well, this is...this is so rough.

Sienna, I'm just...
I'm a massive fan of yours.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

You sound like
nobody else on the planet.

You open your mouth.

And I really want to hear
what's gonna come out of it.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Charlie, I can see
in your face right now

that you're shocked and upset,
but I am full of admiration.

You went from that moment
of absolute terror and shame,

and we've all felt that.

And then you were like,
"You know what?

"I'm in this song now,"
and you double down.

Yeah, man.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Yeah, fair.
Yeah.

Alright.
So, who's it gonna be, Kate?

(TENSE MUSIC)

So, the first artist

that I'm gonna take through

to the Showdowns is...

Sienna.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

The second artist
that will be coming through

to the Showdowns is...

Charlie.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Sienna and Charlie
are going through to the Showdowns.

You OK, Charlie? Yeah.

It's a big second chance.

You guys now will sing again
at the end of the show

for a spot in the semi-finals.

Put your hands together
for Sienna and Charlie, everyone.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Well done, guys.

Jayd, I just want to say thank you

for all of the incredible moments

that you have brought
to this show this year

for all the things
that you did on stage

that made us happy.

Is there anything
that you want to say?

I really did enjoy my time here

and I hope to see everyone
some other time.

Put your hands together for Jayd.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Well done.

You're such a fantastic singer
and performer.

And yeah we'll stay in touch.

Thank you so much.
I've loved working with you.

The artists are really
bringing their A-game tonight

with some
utterly breathtaking performances.

Don't go anywhere
as we still have one final Knockout

before tonight's Showdowns kick off.

We'll see you right after this.

Up next...

Ronan's final knockout
has emotions running high.

Unfortunately,

only one of you can progress
through to the Showdown.

(SONG PLAYS IN BACKGROUND)

Milly's pissed off.
I know.

Honest to god, I'm-I'm lost.

# This is The Voice. #

Welcome back to The Voice.

Now, Ronan,
this is your last Knockout.

And your artists have to deliver
to get a spot in the Showdown.

I've only got one spot left.
One-one spot.

One spot left in the Showdown.
I mean, this is gonna be ruthless.

So, what do they have
to do to get that one spot?

I'm this has got
to be really special.

Alright,
that's what we're looking for.

Something special. Check this out.

This Knockout is between
Milly, Hunter and Tiffney.

Milly, how are you feeling
after the battles?

I'm a bit nervous
seeing these guys here with me.

Hunter, how are you feeling?

I think
that's the most amount of emotions

that I've gone through in one,
like, hour.

At the battles I've versed Cle.
She really stole the show.

The artist that won this battle
is Cle.

As I was on my way out the door.
I was quickly called up backstage.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Great people go home,
but that's the game

and that's the way it works.

But for me, I made a big mistake.

The best way to kind of thank him

and show him my gratitude is
to prove to him

that he saved me for a good reason.

The team for your Knockouts
is natural talents...

because I think you three,
you've got that natural ability.

You're raw.

They've all had moments

where they've been lacking
in confidence.

And I'm hoping by putting the three
of them together,

perhaps they can see it
in each other and learn.

Tiff.
Let's go.

The song that you'll be singing
in the knockouts.

Belinda Carlisle 'Heaven
Is a Place on Earth'.

Sick. That's good.
You know it?

I do.
Thank god.

Never sung it.
OK.

But ripper of a song.

# Who will make heaven a place
On earth?

# Oh, baby
Do you know what that's worth?

# Oh, heaven is a place
On earth... #

I'm in the room
with Hunter and Milly and Ronan.

And I was feeling a lot of pressure.

A second, Scotty. Sorry.
Relax your jaw.

You're tight.
OK.

# Oh, in the night. #

It changes the sound
when you drop this jaw.

Relax your tongue.
OK.

# When the night...

# When the night falls... #

OK, I always find myself, like...

Tight here.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna tense
it again straight away.

Yeah, no but try and try it.
If you think about it, you'll do it.

Yeah, I know.

She needs to relax all of this.

If she's not warm
and ready for this performance,

it'll be a car crash.

Hunter song that you will be singing
in the Knockouts is

'Someday, Someday'.

Really?
Thirsty Merc.

Oh, wow.
I love that song.

I love this song.
Wow.

These guys are awesome.

# You gotta hear what I say

# I'm in love with you

# I'm not so far away... #

I was immediately thinking
of which way I could alter this

and how could I can make it,
you know, Hunter's song.

Because I'm not a big kind of
extravagant doing my runs.

I'm not that kind of singer.

Can we do it, like,
a fair bit slower than the original?

Is that possible?

We're similar as singers, you know.

I can't sing like Ellaphon.
I wish I could.

Exactly yeah.
But I'm a totally different singer.

And-and I've done alright for myself

because I attach myself emotionally.

I tell a story when I'm singing.

So, do the same.
Yeah.

For Hunter,
he's limited as a vocalist.

But what he has in trumps is heart.

Be that guy.

Milly looking back
at your performance.

How do you feel you went?
Um.

Look, I was a little disappointed,
especially after what you said.

In the battles
I sang against Olivia.

(SINGERS VOCALISE)

Unfortunately, it started out pitchy
from the beginning.

It wasn't as good
as it could have been

and should have been.

Always good to have things
to improve on

so, hopefully
I can smash the next one.

I see...I see
the possibilities with you.

That's why you're here.

OK, song that you will be singing
in the knockouts is

'Seventeen Going Under' Sam Fender.

Yes.
Yeah?

Let's go.
Yeah.

One of my faves.

# The distances we covered

# The fist fights on the beach

# The thing... #

'Cause I'm so used to singing
the really slowed down version.

This is straight
in off the top of the song.

You've 60 seconds.

You've got to give it
all from the top.

Yeah.
Very much at this performance.

Very much with this song.
This is a rock tune, right? Really.

You will lose the energy
in that song if you slow it down.

Milly's got to bring that edge.

She's got to bring that coolness
to the performance.

And fingers crossed she can do it.

Being teamed up
with Hunter and Tiffney,

I feel vocally out of my depth.

But I want to win this Knockout
more than anything.

I know how it feels to go home,

and I don't really want
to have that feeling again.

These Knockouts
there's no room for a missed note.

We have to be absolutely perfect.

(DRAMATIC TENSE MUSIC)

The pressure is definitely on.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# I remember

# The sickness was forever

# I remember snuff videos... #

Yes.

# Cold Septembers
The distances we covered

# The fist fights on the beach

# That's the thing, it lingers

# And claws you when you're down

# And I was far too scared
To hit him

# But I would hit him
In a heartbeat now... #

Yeah.

# That's the thing with anger

# It hurts them like

# They're nothing

# Ooh

# I see my mother
The DWP see a number

# She cries on the floor encumbered

# I'm 17 going under

# I'm 17 going under. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Oh.

Wow.

# When the night falls down

# I wait for you

# And you come around

# When you walk into the room

# You pull me close
And we start to move

# And we're spinning
With the stars above

# And you lift me up
In a wave of love

# Oh, baby
Do you know what that's worth?

# Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

# They say in Heaven
Love comes first.

# We will make Heaven a place
On Earth

# Oh, baby, do you know
What that's worth?

# Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

# They say in Heaven
Love comes first

# We'll make Heaven a place on Earth

# Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Well done, Tiff.

# So, we've established the fact
that things are gonna be different

# In the future, babe... #

Yeah, man.

# And I've been going outta town
Baby, it's gonna happen more

# We gotta be strong
But now while I'm gone

# Just be a fly on the wall

# You know, I'm thinking about you

# Just wait and see
You gotta hear what I'm saying

# I'm in love with you
I'm not so far away

# Someday, someday,
I will be here, baby

# Someday, someday
I will be the one, baby

I will be here, baby

# Someday, someday
I will be the one, baby

# Someday

# Hey

# I just need you here, baby. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Well done.

Oh, Jesus Christ almighty.

Great job, guys.

Now, earlier tonight,

Ronan decided to send
all three of his singers

from his first Knockout through
to tonight's Showdown.

Milly is pissed off.

I know. Sorry, Milly.

So, unfortunately...
It's not in the rules, Ronan.

I know I can't help myself.

That does mean,
unfortunately, that only one of you

can progress through
to the Showdown.

This is going to be
a really hard decision now, Ronan.

You know, Milly,

I asked of you certain things
in that performance,

and you gave it.

You just gave it tenfold.

It's a...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Why the tears, Milly? What's wrong?

Um...

I just think I'm realising
how much it means to me right now.

I know.
I know. It's a big thing.

This is a big thing.

Tiff, you gave up on your dream,
and now, you're back.

You got your axe,
and you are ready to rock.

I mean, you've been...you've
been amazing.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

It's-it's reignited the fire

that I thought
was probably gone forever.

So...
Well, it is not gone forever.

It's brighter than ever.

Hunter, man, I've never seen you
perform like that ever.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
In all we've done.

You were rocking.
You were an artist.

Yeah. So, I am honest to god,
I'm-I'm lost.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Showdown is huge. You have no idea.

Those other three are crazy good.

We know,
We know.

Yeah.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC TENSE MUSIC)

The artists I'm-I'm taking
through to the Showdown...

It's Milly.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(CONTESTANTS CHATTERING)

Congratulations, Milly.

You are going through
to the Showdown.

Good luck.

What's it like for you guys
being part of Team Ronan?

Oh, the-the amount
of mentoring and stuff

that Ronan has given us.

It's been something I'll remember
for the rest of my life.

Um yeah, it's-it's been amazing.

Thanks, mate. Thank you.

Just the whole journey
has been amazing, honestly.

Yeah.

I'm-I'm so thankful
for every single step of the way.

So, thank you.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you. Thanks, Tiff.

For one final time,

please give a massive round
of applause

for Tiffney and Hunter.

Mate, you should have been there.

Well done, Tiff. You were awesome.

You're great. You were great.
Well done.

After the break it's Showdown time

where our artists will do everything

they can for their spot
in the semi-finals.

Next...

Team Kate face off
for a spot in the semi-finals.

It would mean the absolute world
to go to the semi-finals.

Music is my passion.
It's my dream.

It's all I want.

I'm going
to give this performance 100%.

'Cause if this is the last time
I sing on this stage

it needs to be the best.

# This is The Voice. #

Welcome back to The Voice.

Now, the stakes are
at an all time high

with no second chances.

James, Charlie, Alyssa and Sienna

have fought their way
through the Knockouts,

but there's still another hurdle
before they can secure

one of the two places
on Team Kate in the semi-finals.

All singing a song they've chosen.
Let the Showdown begin.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# You never expect it

# To be in your wildest dreams... #

Come on!

# So, take a step backwards
For a little while

# You'll find it there

# Yeah

# It's something
That I can't explain

# So, I remain trapped inside

# Still holding strong
Still holding on to you

# To you

# Take me back to you
It's been a long time

# Alone every night, I think of you

# You're such a lonely life

# Oh, oh

# Take me back to you, baby

# Take me back to you... #

Come on!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# There goes my heart beating

# 'Cause you are the reason

# I'm losing my sleep

# Please come back now

# And there goes my mind racing

# 'Cause you are the reason

# That I'm still breathing

# I'm hopeless now

# I'd climb every mountain

# And swim every ocean

# Just to be with you

# And fix what I've broken

# Oh, 'cause I need you

# To see

# That you are

# The reason. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# Guess mine

# Is not the first heart broken

# My eyes are

# Not the first to cry... #

Wow.

# I'm not the first to know

# There's just
No getting over you... #

Holy moly.

# I'm hopelessly devoted

# To you

# But now there's nowhere to hide

# Since you pushed my love aside

# I'm out of my head

# Hopelessly devoted

# To you

# Hopelessly devoted

# To you

# Ooh. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# Flowers in hand, waiting for me

# Every word in poetry

# Won't call me by name, only baby

# The more that you give
The less that I need

# Everyone says I look happy

# When it feels right

# I know that you're wrong for me

# Gonna wish we never met
On the day I leave

# I brought you down to your knees

# But they say misery loves company

# It's not your fault
I ruin everything

# And it's not your fault
I can't be what you need

# Baby, angels like

# You can't fly down hell with me

# I'm everything
They said I would be. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Make some noise for James, Charlie,

Alyssa and Sienna.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, Kate, the moment has arrived.

It's time to reveal
your first semi-finalist.

Who is gonna claim the spot
on Team Kate?

First of all, I just want to say
I'm in awe of all of you.

And I've loved every second of us
working together.

And no matter what happens tonight,
you will always be on Team Kate.

And I want to keep
this relationship going.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

This is, um,
this is a really tough decision,

and I'm not enjoying it at all.

(AUDIENCE YELL)

(TENSE MUSIC)

The first artist that I'm gonna

take through to the semi-final is...

Alyssa.

(JOYFUL MUSIC)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Alyssa,
you're through to the semi-finals.

To be on the stage
with these amazing artists,

it's such a blessing

and I'm so grateful
for every moment.

You deserve that spot, my friend.

We can't wait to see
what you bring in the semi-finals.

Whoo!

Well done.

This is where it gets tough, Kate.

Means that only one more person
can go through to the semis.

On Team Kate, it's between James,
Charlie and Sienna.

Who's it gonna be?

The next artist
they will be taking through

to the semi-finals is...

Sienna.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Sienna.

I just think like
everyone singing today is like

so phenomenal
and the competition is just mad.

And I think
you can never expect like,

to get this far in the competition.

I'm pretty shocked so...
Yeah, you have, you have.

And you are through
to the semi-final.

Go on down, Sienna.

Take your position
in the winner's balcony.

Which leaves our boys,
James and Charlie.

Look, you've just
missed out this time,

but it's been so great
having you on the show.

And I'm sure there's something
that you'd like to say.

It's been a good time huh?
Great time.

We've had some fun huh?
Yeah.

No, this has been, um,
such a wild experience for me.

And after this show, um,
yeah, it's all I want to do.

Please put your hands together
one more time

for James and Charlie.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Hey. Well done, both of you.
Oh, it's been such a pleasure.

Well done. We've got so much ahead.
Yeah, I'm gonna be in touch.

Well done. You smashed it. So good.

Australia, up next, we find out

who our last two semi-finalists
of 2025 will be.

Ronan, you've got a big decision
to make.

Do not move.

I'm not. I won't move.

Next...

# On to the battlefield... #

Team Ronan sing for a spot
in the semi-finals.

I really want this.

I want to go through
to the semi-finals.

I just don't want
to stop singing on that stage.

I need to show
that I deserve my spot here

in the competition.

This is what I want to do.
This is where I need to be.

I have to get
through to the semi-final.

# This is The Voice. #

Welcome back.

Earlier, Ronan
made some bold choices

selecting his top four artists
for this high stakes showdown,

taking all three singers through
from his first Knockout.

But with only two spots
in the semi-finals,

the decisions that come next
are the ones that really matter.

Mitchell, Milly, Cle and Ellaphon

must deliver a performance

that takes them one step closer
to Voice victory.

And the Showdown starts now.

# I'm going under, and this time

# I fear there's no-one to save me

# This all or nothing

# Really got a way
of driving me crazy

# Now, the day bleeds into nightfall

# And you're not here
To get me through it all

# I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug

# I was getting kinda
Used to being someone you loved

# And I tend to close my eyes

# When it hurts sometimes

# I fall into your arms

# I'll be safe in your sound
Till I come back around

# For now, the day bleeds
Into nightfall

# And you're not here
To get me through it all

# I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug

# I was getting kinda
Used to being someone you loved. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

He's good. He's good.

# Joey

# Baby

# Don't get

# Crazy

# I know you've heard it all before

# So, I don't say it anymore

# I just stand by
And let you fight your secret war

# But if it's love
You're looking for

# Then I can give a little more

# And if you're somewhere drunk

# And passed out on the floor

# Oh, Joey

# I'm not angry

# Anymore

# Angry anymore. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# I understood loneliness

# Before I knew what it was

# Saw the pills on the table

# For your unrequited love

# I would be nothing

# Without you holding me up

# I'm strong enough for both of us

# Both of us, both of us, both of us

# I am a giant ooo,

# Stand up on my shoulders

# Tell me what you see

# I am a giant ooo

# We'll be breaking boulders
Underneath our feet

# I am, hey

# Throw it away, in the dirt,
Under me yeah, yeah

# Yeah, oh, hey

# I am, I am, I am

# I understood loneliness

# Before I knew what it was. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

# Turn down the lights

# Turn down the bed

# Turn down these voices

# Inside my head

# 'Cause I can't make

# You love me

# If you don't

# You can't make your heart feel

# Something that it won't

# Oh, and here in the dark

# In these final hours

# I will lay down my heart

# And I'll feel the power

# But if you don't

# No you won't

# 'Cause I can't make you love me,

# Yeah

# If you don't

# Ooo, Ooh. #

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Leaving absolutely
nothing on the table.

Mitchell, Milly, Cle and Ellaphon.

Melanie, who did you see
star quality in tonight?

You know what?

I think each of these artists
has star quality.

That was the most passionate
Showdown that we've had.

I feel like you were
literally singing for your lives.

It was amazing.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Ronan.

I know I can only take two...

through to the semi-finals, so...

(TENSE MUSIC)
(AUDIENCE YELL)

My first semi-finalist in Team Ronan

is Cle.

(JOYFUL MUSIC)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

This is a pretty magical place
to be and I just feel so blessed.

Thank you.

We're gonna see you
in the semi-final.

Well done, Cle.

So, Ronan, you now have
one final decision to make.

It is down
to Mitchell, Milly and Ellaphon.

Milly, you're a star.

Tonight it won't be you. OK.

That's OK.
You're amazing.

But I can't take you
to the semi-final.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

To stand on stage with these three

meant so much to me.

Good on you.

Yeah, and I just...
Thanks to, everyone.

Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Milly.

Put your hands together
as we farewell,

Milly from The Voice stage.

Then there were two Ronan,
just Mitchell and Ellaphon.

Who is gonna be
your second semi-finalist?

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
(TENSE MUSIC)

I-I just...
I can't not have him on my team.

It's Ellaphon.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Ellaphon.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Ronan,
for taking a chance on me

and continuing to.

Thank you to the other coaches
for just giving me

something that to believe in.

And yeah, you guys like,

yeah, but surely you guys are
so fucking cool, man.

Yeah. Lights off.

So, you my friend.
You're freaking cool.

Well done, Ellaphon,
you're in the semi-final.

Head on over
to the winner's balcony.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

This is not the last
we will see of you, Mitchell.

Thank you, Ronan,
for-for taking a chance on me and...

Thank you.
..and believing in me.

Thank you so much.
Always. Good on you, buddy.

Put your hands together
for Mitchell.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Mitchell.

Thanks, mate. Thank you.

And good on you. Thank you.

Cheers.
Beautiful work tonight.

Keep going.

And just like that,

we've reached the end
of our electrifying Knockouts.

Your semi-finalists for 2025...

For Team Melanie,
it's Euan and Cassie.

For Team Richard,
it's Bella and Joseph.

For Team Ronan,
it's Cle and Ellaphon.

And for Team Kate,
it's Alyssa and Sienna.

One of the artists standing up here

will be crowned winner
of The Voice Australia.

But first, they must survive
the semi-finals.

Two nights of heart
stopping performances

with our fight for the final spot
on their coaches' team.

And if that wasn't enough,

get ready for
an exclusive performance

from none other than
Ronan Keating himself.

Whoa really?

Until next time, Australia.
Good night.

Next time on The Voice...

Hello.
Team Mel...

Down to the final two.
Congratulations.

And you deserve to be here.

..and Team Richard...

Not to put
too much pressure on you,

but you know what's at stake here.

..are in the spotlight.

I have Joseph and Bella on my team,

and they're both amazing.

But only one can go through.

(SINGER VOCALISES)

Yes!

I didn't think I'd make it this far.

I hope I have what it takes

to get to the grand final.

(SINGER VOCALISES)

This is my last chance
to really show

that I can take this all the way.

I've got Euan and Cassie

on my team, both amazing,

but they need to give

the performance

of their life tonight.

(SINGER VOCALISES)

There's a lot of pressure.

I don't want

to let a Spice Girl down.

(SINGER VOCALISES)

When you think about

what's coming next, you get scared.

Like, can you be

the absolute best version

of yourself to get those spots

in the grand finale?

The artist I'll be taking through...

To the grand finale is...
