..the playoffs erupted...

Yes!

..with the best of the best fighting for their place.

Clarissa.

The person I'm taking through is Masha.

Timothy. Alex.

The person I'm gonna be taking forward is Jesse.

Tonight...

I really have to stand out.

I really have to stand out.

I trust that I'll be able to do what I have to do.

VIRGINIA: I have to win. There's a lot at stake.

I've worked my butt off to get this far.

I'm definitely gonna need to step up.

You gotta be able to go hard, or you will go home.

The final epic playoffs,

fighting for their place in the top 20.

Honestly, I don't know whatever the two of you just did.

You made it feel alive.

You made it feel alive.

Oh, my gosh!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I couldn't choose a winner.

Amazing. Probably my favourite so far.

And tonight, the coaches pick their wildcard.

It's all on the line.

# Where are the champs now? #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

This is it, Australia.

The final epic night of The Voice playoffs.

The competition is tougher than ever,

The competition is tougher than ever,

and the remaining artists will take to the stage

to keep their Voice dreams alive.

Yes, tonight, only the best will make it through.

But, four lucky artists will be given a second chance

as our coaches each use their wildcard

to save an eliminated team member.

Getting ready for a huge night from The Voice HQ, it's Guy Sebastian!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Also joining us here in the studio, Miss Delta Goodrem.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

All the way from London, it's Boy George.

All the way from London, it's Boy George.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

And live from Los Angeles, Kelly Rowland.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Let's get it started. First to play off against each other,

Team Delta.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

DELTA: This playoff is with my most timeless artist, Steve Clisby,

and the youngest artist to be on The Voice, Emmagen.

Hi! 12-year-old superstar.

The oldest and the youngest! Yeah! (CHUCKLES)

I was a bit worried to be paired with Steve.

He has a lot of experience.

So that's a bit nerve-racking.

So that's a bit nerve-racking.

OK, so, the theme is Australia.

(EXHALES) Right.

Whoo. Your song, Emmagen,

is the beautiful, wonderful Kasey Chambers, 'Not Pretty Enough'.

I love that song. Yes.

Steve Clisby. You rang?

The song I've chosen for you

is none other than 'I Still Call Australia Home'.

Yeah!

I've made Australia home,

and that song kind of encapsulates everything

that I've felt about being here.

that I've felt about being here.

I think they should make it the national anthem,

to tell you the truth.

My version. (LAUGHS)

Alright, Emmagen, you're up.

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC BEGINS)

# Am I not pretty enough?

# Is my heart too broken? #

Truthfully, I was curious about Emmagen today,

to see if she was gonna come in prepared for any song

that might have been thrown at her, and I did see that.

# Why do you see right through me? #

# Why do you see right through me? #

Oh, Emmagen. Mmm!

Oh, she came here to playoff, Steve!

(LAUGHS) I know, I gotta watch out! She came here to playoff! (LAUGHS)

Tell me, what does this song, like, mean to you?

I'm 12, so... Yep.

..people don't always think that I can do things,

should do things, because of my age.

I feel ready. Like, I'm here,

and I'm trying my hardest, so why?

They're just testing you, how much you really see it,

They're just testing you, how much you really see it,

and it makes you get even more, "I know I want to do this."

And so it's really exciting.

Wow, she's grown so much already. This is really amazing to watch.

She wants to be in the adult world in this moment.

She's here to learn, and I love that about her.

Steve Clisby. How do you feel about the lyrics?

'Cause the lyrics was our last battle.

The last time everyone saw Steve, it was the battles,

and he was struggling so much with the lyrics.

It wasn't, like, his best performance.

Steve. It was really messy.

Steve. It was really messy.

(CHUCKLES)

How are you feeling about these lyrics?

I'm feeling good about these. Yes. Great.

Because the lyrics are so important in this.

No, yeah. Because they're...

They really are the conversation. Yep.

It's two verses, no key change,

just letting you know. Yeah.

# But no matter how far

# Or how wide I roam... #

It's definitely the time to step up for Steve.

It's the time for him to really consolidate why he is here.

It's the time for him to really consolidate why he is here.

Yes, Steve!

# I've been... Someday... #

We'll get there. Oh, jeez. "Someday."

I gotta remember to switch to that version. "Someday..."

That's alright, that's 'cause you're...

I definitely got quite worried about Steve.

He lost his place.

Just practise it. Yep.

Practise, practise, practise. Yeah, yeah.

Practise.

I know the song inside out,

so there would be no excuse for me to forget the lyrics.

I really don't want to let Delta down, that's for sure.

It would be really powerful, you playing piano on this.

It would be really powerful, you playing piano on this.

It would be.

Um, I'll have to check that out.

Just, like, think about it. I will.

What are you talking about?

You know I'm having trouble, like, with the lyrics,

so now you're gonna give me something else to think about.

It's cool. Yeah.

Just gotta remember to hit the second verse.

(CHUCKLES)

I feel a little bit more pressure, being saved by Delta,

but I trust that I'll be able to do what I have to do.

# One more victory

# One more victory

# We are legends and we're here to stay... #

It is pretty intimidating going up against an all-star.

But I'm still gonna fight,

because I want to win this playoff.

Being up against a 12-year-old doesn't really matter.

She's just as determined as I am.

She is a formidable opponent.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Let the playoff begin.

# I've been to cities... #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # That never close down

# From New York to Rio... #

Yeah! This is so good! # And old London town

# But no matter how far

# Or how wide I roam

# I still call Australia home... #

(CHEERING)

# Someday, we'll all be

# Someday, we'll all be

# Together once more

# When all of the ships come

# Back to the shore

# I realise what I've... #

Come on! # Always known

# I still call Australia

# Home. #

# Home. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Aw, that was very nice.

Yes, Steve! Oh, yes.

Love you, Steve!

(GIGGLES) Whoo! (CHUCKLES)

Crushed it. Man, that was so good.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Go, Emmagen!

# I live, I breathe

# I let it rain on me

# I let it rain on me

# I try as hard as I can

# Am I not pretty enough?

# Is my heart too broken?

# Do I cry too much?

# Am I too outspoken?

# Don't I make you laugh?

# Don't I make you laugh?

# Should I try it harder?

# Why do you see right through me?

# Why do you see, why do you see

# Why do you see right through me? #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Steve and Emmagen, that was so beautiful.

Does Steve get extra points? For being on the keys?

(LAUGHTER)

I was literally thinking that. (LAUGHS)

That's very good song choices

and very good playoff. Like, that was...

Thanks, Guy. ..amazing.

Probably my favourite so far.

Guy doesn't give those compliments away too easy,

so I would lap that up.

I'm gonna take this in! I'm gonna take this in!

Yes, I do! He does not give those compliments.

Loved it.

Loved it.

Kelly, is this a tough one for you?

Who would you pick?

I'd definitely say it's a tough one.

I feel like Emmagen is just constantly blooming,

you know what I mean? Like, her voice is coming into its own

and forever changing and forever getting to know herself.

And I look forward to hearing you perform.

I look forward to watching you.

Thank you.

And then for Steve, I was just thinking, like,

it's something about him that just feels like home.

His voice just makes me feel grounded and comforted...

His voice just makes me feel grounded and comforted...

Oh, yes. ..and I just love that.

Thanks, Kelly. Thank you very much. So well said.

What a compliment. You feel like home.

Delta, we know you love both of these artists deeply.

I do. So this is gonna be a hard decision.

And I really want you to know how much I just feel thankful

to have such wonderful artists like both of you on my team.

And I think when Kelly said

when you start singing, Steve, it feels like home,

I felt the warmth in your performance.

It really gave us a big hug, and it's exactly what we need right now,

and that's the power of music... Thank you.

and that's the power of music... Thank you.

..and the power of you, Steve, and that beautiful voice.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

And then, Emmagen, you set the tone to it being incredibly authentic.

What you did with that song, with so much control.

You're incredibly special, and you showed that tonight,

that you can deliver a ballad with goosebumps and truthfulness,

and it was a sensational performance, so congratulations.

Thank you. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I always have to go with my heart. That steers me in the right place.

But you both have a piece of that.

The artist I'm choosing to go through to the next stage...

# This is The Voice! #

# This is The Voice! #

I always have to go with my heart. That steers me in the right place.

But you both have a piece of that.

The artist I'm choosing to go through to the next stage...

(TENSE MUSIC)

..is Steve.

Congratulations, Steve. You're through to the next round.

You can go hang out in the green room.

Well done. Congratulations to you too.

If I could give you a hug, I would right now. It's really...

I mean, like, she's fantastic.

Isn't she? I know!

Thank you. Well done. Thank you.

Thank you, Steve. Congratulations.

Air hug, Steve. Ahh!

That was so soulful. Oh!

Emmagen, I'm thinking that we could do some work experience together.

Emmagen, I'm thinking that we could do some work experience together.

Come on my tour, and we could spend a day.

I think you're really ready for that real-world experience.

We're gonna see you on stage in the future,

and I want to make sure that I can be a mentor there too.

Thank you, Delta. That's alright.

How cool is that? Amazing!

But, Emmagen, the good news is, this isn't the end, necessarily, for you.

There is still a wildcard that Delta has to use.

So, why would you like to stay in this competition?

Well, I would love... (CHUCKLES) ..if you would.

Um... To be your wildcard, it would mean the world to me.

But, um, yeah, I just feel that my time here isn't quite finished yet.

But, um, yeah, I just feel that my time here isn't quite finished yet.

You can head over to the green room with Steve. Thank you!

Thank you! Bye. Bye, Emmagen.

GUY: Well done, Emmagen.

(CHUCKLES)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I'll talk to you later.

Make sure she pays you.

(LAUGHTER)

It's not just free labour. Make sure she...

Oh! (LAUGHS)

You were amazing! And you, you too!

I was just... And I loved playing for you.

I think that suggestion about taking you with her on tour

I think that suggestion about taking you with her on tour

for a couple of days. Imagine that!

Yeah! That's...

I'd like to do that myself. (BOTH LAUGH)

Team Delta has now wrapped up their playoffs.

Congratulations to Clarissa, Goldi, Jesse and Steve.

You are all heading into next week's showdown.

That range is the best I've ever seen on the stage.

You two being brought together

is a new experience to learn how to be performers.

There's still so much more in you.

The warmth in your performance, you really gave us a big hug,

The warmth in your performance, you really gave us a big hug,

and it's exactly what we need right now.

Delta, it's almost time for you to choose your wildcard.

But before we do, let's take a quick look

at your team's playoff performances.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Sometimes I dream about going back

# Keeping all the things I left behind

# But now I know you can't change the past

# Way too young to know the reason why... #

# Nothing has to change today

# Nothing has to change today

# I can't escape the way I love you

# I love you... #

# The strong will never fall

# But watching stars without you

# My soul cried... #

# My soul cried... #

# Am I not pretty enough?

# Is my heart too broken?

# Do I cry too much?

# Am I too outspoken? #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Alright, Delta, this is it.

This is your opportunity to save one of these artists

and complete your team. Who gets the wildcard?

and complete your team. Who gets the wildcard?

(EXHALES) Well.

The person I'm taking through as my fifth member...

is an artist that I believe

is one of the best artists that we have on the season.

I truly do. With all my heart.

(TENSE MUSIC)

But this moment is to remind them to fight for it,

and don't let their emotions take over them.

and don't let their emotions take over them.

And that artist is Stellar.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Congratulations, Stella. You are the fifth member of Team Delta.

Thank you, thank you! Congratulations, Stellar.

You can go join your team in the green room.

You're a superstar, Stellar!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

That's a great team over there, Delta.

Yay!

(VOCALISES)

Alright, as Stellar makes her way up to join Team Delta,

unfortunately that does mean the end of The Voice road, at least,

for Claudia, Graeme and Emmagen.

for Claudia, Graeme and Emmagen.

Thank you so much for the experience.

Sorry. That's OK. It's OK. It's OK.

I just want you to know that you have taught me so much already.

You've made me realise that if I want this, I've got to,

you know, really fight for it, and I'm very thankful.

This is just the first step. It's the first step to that.

Just to be here is just an amazing experience, you know?

For me, I'll never, ever, ever forget that experience.

Thank you, Delta. I'm OK.

Thank you, Delta. I'm OK.

Like, I'm OK to be going home now, because...

I know that it's other people's time now.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) WOMAN: Aw!

So, well done, everyone.

(LAUGHS) She's so...

She's got time on her side. (LAUGHS)

BOY GEORGE: So adorable. Oh, my god. What a sweetheart.

KELLY: So gracious.

And congratulations to Delta's artists staying in the competition!

Hey, Delta! Whoo!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (DELTA LAUGHS)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (DELTA LAUGHS)

ANNOUNCER: Next... the final playoff from Team George.

And later, two all-stars face off.

WOMAN: This is pretty epic.

MAN: I'm gonna be giving this absolutely everything.

# This is The Voice! #

ANNOUNCER: Exclusive pics and unforgettable performances.

KELLY: I'm a fan. I want to go to the concert,

I'ma buy the ticket, I'ma buy the album.

I'ma buy the ticket, I'ma buy the album.

Y'all were just spectacular!

You made it feel alive. Thank you so much. You both owned your space.

For your ultimate Voice fix, head to:

# This is The Voice! #

Welcome back to The Voice playoffs. I think we're ready to roll.

It's Team George.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

This playoff is between Sapphire, who was with Team Kelly,

This playoff is between Sapphire, who was with Team Kelly,

and Virginia, who is my rocker, the Mohican powerhouse singer.

# Comin' atcha! #

Hi! Hi, hi, hi. Hi!

Welcome to this next phase of this journey.

Sapphire, who is new to Team George, you're an exile from Team Kelly.

This season, for some reason, I have taken all of Kelly's exiles.

(LAUGHTER)

There was something about you, Sapphire,

that I felt was worth nurturing and looking more into.

Being saved by George was definitely a big honour.

Being saved by George was definitely a big honour.

Second chance to just, like, show people what I've got.

So, you girls are gonna go into a double Sia fantasy.

Oh!

How do you take a song that everyone knows so well,

and dare to sing it?

This is the time to switch it up,

and, like, shine in a new way.

Are you babes up for the challenge? Oh, my god!

So, Virginia, the song you're gonna sing at the playoffs

is Sia's 'Chandelier'.

Awesome! Oh, that's crazy.

Awesome! Oh, that's crazy.

And it better be good, because I've heard this song by a lot of people.

Yeah! Oh, thanks. No pressure. Oh, man.

And Sapphire, your song is gonna be 'Breathe Me'.

Very different feels, those songs,

from each other. Yeah!

And I will start with Sapphire. OK.

Oh. OK. (CHUCKLES)

I do not know this song.

I have never sang this song before.

And I've heard it once, but that's all.

I'm actually not fond of this song.

You don't know the song? I don't know this song.

You don't know the song? I don't know this song.

Does it frighten you? Um...

Yeah. Kind of.

I think it is important to read through the lyrics.

Yeah. Um, this song...

You know, it's not about the vocal gymnastics, obviously,

it's really the connection with the lyric and what that means to you.

Just read them. Like you were telling a story.

"Help, I have done it again.

"And the worst part is, there's no-one else to blame."

When I was reading the lyrics,

I felt myself getting attached to the song more,

and, like, knowing its story.

# Warm me up

# And breathe me. #

Oh, yes! (ALL CHEERING)

Whatever happened there, we want more of that.

Yep. Definitely.

With the song, I feel like I need to understand its story

and how I can connect to it.

I've lost one battle.

I do not want to lose another one.

Virginia, we've given you some big songs to sing,

Virginia, we've given you some big songs to sing,

and now this one is slightly more vulnerable.

Alright.

# Party... Party girls don't get hurt

# Can't feel anything... #

Hold on a second. Hold on hold, hold on, hold on.

Even... Look, the beginning, right?

I can hear you worrying about the note

and not just getting straight into the story.

She needs to give herself permission to be a little bit more vulnerable.

She's used to fighting the other way.

You do come across like you've built a wall to protect yourself,

You do come across like you've built a wall to protect yourself,

and it's time, in this performance,

to take that wall down.

Yeah, it's for you to break through it.

It's saying, "I actually don't need this any more."

What can you reveal about yourself to us

that makes us see another side to you?

Because we know you're tough.

As you know, the first blind audition,

nobody turned for me, eight years ago,

and, um, I was completely gutted, to be honest, about that.

Throughout my whole career, I always...

Oh, I'm gonna bring a tear to my eye.

Throughout my whole career, I always thought that I was,

Throughout my whole career, I always thought that I was,

you know, always second choice.

Sorry. (EXHALES)

That's OK. Let it out.

Let it out. (LAUGHS)

Yeah. Yeah.

So, um, hopefully this time, you know, I can...

I can prove to myself that I'm worth... I'm worth it.

(LAUGHS)

I think you have to start with that point of view, though, Virginia.

You have to start with the belief

that those things are already in place.

that those things are already in place.

It's good to let the emotions out. Yeah.

It is. I think everyone wants...

I've been holding that in since the first round, you know?

Yeah. And I think that's...

Everyone's so used to seeing you be so strong.

It's... It's beautiful to see you in those vulnerable moments.

The secret is to tap into those emotions

and show that softer side.

Yeah. It's hard.

Virginia's, like, powerhouse. She's, like, fearless.

But I will do whatever it takes to win this playoff.

There's a lot at stake.

I've worked my butt off to get this far.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Party girls don't get hurt

# Can't feel anything, when will I learn?

# Can't feel anything, when will I learn?

# I push it down, I push it down

# One, two, three, one, two, three, drink

# One, two, three, one, two, three, drink

# One, two, three, one, two, three, drink

# Throw 'em back, till I lose count

# I'm gonna swing

# From the chandelier

# From the chandelier

# I'm gonna fly

# I'm gonna fly

# Like a bird through the night

# Feel my tears as they dry

# I'm gonna swing

# From the chandelier

# The chandelier! #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

KELLY: You gotta go for a note.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Help, I have done it again...

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# And the worst part

# Is there's no-one else to blame

# Be my friend

# Be my friend

# Hold me

# Wrap me up

# Enfold me

# I am small

# And needy

# Warm me up

# And breathe me. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DELTA: Beautiful. Beautiful.

This is a tough one.

RENEE: Wow, wow, wow, ladies.

Virginia and Sapphire.

Come on down.

That was so beautiful.

Delta, how do you think they did?

Delta, how do you think they did?

All of a sudden, you've both kicked me into a new gear

where I'm ready for more of the concert, please.

This is a wonderful performance by both of you

and I say that because it is perfect song choices

and the thing is when you've got the perfect alignment of songs

with artists taking them on

and then having great choices by both of you,

that's when it's a real win for all. (APPLAUSE)

I would say if I was in your shoes

and someone said, "Oh, you're going to be singing Sia",

and someone said, "Oh, you're going to be singing Sia",

I would just hang my head and be like, "Oh, my gosh."

Like, they're such massive songs

and that's why it's always such a great challenge.

I think they were really good song choices to show off your range.

RENEE: Kelly. I know that Sapphire was your rare precious gem

that Boy George stole from you in the battles.

How proud were you of her in this moment?

From the moment you started, it's like you meant every word,

like it took all the breath out of you

to get every single note out.

I loved it.

Those two performances were worthy of both of you staying.

Those two performances were worthy of both of you staying.

Boy George, two very different performances.

Who will it be?

Ooh.

(LAUGHS)

Well, first of all, both of those performances were beautiful.

One of the things I liked about Virginia tonight

was this kind of softening of her whole look

because it just showed a more gentle side to her.

You just told the story a little bit more in that performance.

I've never seen you do that before.

That was really fun to watch.

And then you've got Sapphire who is this kind of fresh, you know,

kind of still forming kind of artist

and I feel like what you've gotta do is try and find the right material

that kind of allows you

to really be the expressive performer that you can so be.

You know, I saw a real improvement in your performance

and I think you could become an incredible performer,

so it is a tough choice.

so it is a tough choice.

(CHEERING)

In this moment...

The person I'm going to take through is...

..is Virginia.

RENEE: Congratulations, Virginia.

You're in the play-off. How do you feel?

I'm shocked.

Thank you so much.

I'm lost for words.

Sapphire was just absolutely beautiful.

Sapphire was just absolutely beautiful.

Her voice is just like chocolate and it just melts.

I'm blown away. I thought I was going home.

So, thank you so much.

RENEE: Congratulations. You're through to the next round.

You can go hang out in the green room.

GUY: Well done, Virginia.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) I mean, George, you've got it...

I don't know. From watching your team,

it feels like Sapphire would just be such a shame to lose.

Well, he does have a wildcard.

Kelly could give you one of her spaces.

Kelly's got some spaces.

Don't be funny.

Don't be funny.

RENEE: Potentially.

Why should you be Boy George's wildcard?

As a young artist, I would really love to show the world and you

that I have so much more to offer.

I'm just really thankful to be here.

Thank you so much.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) I want to give you a hug.

Virtual hug. Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm amazing, actually.

OK. Thank you, Sapphire.

Beautiful job.

NARRATOR: Next...

I wish all of them could say in the competition.

..George picks his wildcard.

And later, an unmissable performance by The Veronicas.

# This is The Voice! #

# This is The Voice! #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

RENEE: Team George has now finished their play-off.

Congratulations to Masha, Angela, Siala, and Virginia.

You are all through to next week's showdowns

with the chance to fight for a place in the semi-final.

GEORGE: It was so beautiful.

Wow. It sounded like you were really in control

of all the aspects of your voice.

You just pulled out the right feeling for me

and I was connected to you.

Whatever song you're given,

you're able to kind of just become that character.

you're able to kind of just become that character.

You just told the story a little bit more.

It's now time for George to name his wildcard winner.

But first, let's take a look back at Team George's play-off performances.

# Don't make me close one more door

# I don't want to hurt any more...

# Let's dance

# Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

# Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

# Let's dance...

# Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it

# What's love but a second-hand emotion...

# Be my friend

# Hold me

# Wrap me up...

DARREN: Oh, Boy George.

Amazing performances there.

It's going to be quite difficult to make a decision for you.

Which one of these artists gets the wildcard?

Let me start by saying

I wish all of them could stay in the competition

and every one of them has shown different types of promise.

You know, and I'm looking at my team now

and I'm thinking, OK, there's a lot of girl power

going on in Team George.

I think because my team is so eclectic,

I think I'm going to continue that.

The person I'm going to take through as my wildcard...

That person is...

Elise.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

RENEE: Congratulations, Elise.

Wow.

You are the last member of Team George.

You are through.

You can go join the rest of your team.

DARREN: Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much.

The last member of Team George.

Sadly, there are some lows and that does mean unfortunately,

Sadly, there are some lows and that does mean unfortunately,

tonight we do say goodbye to Sapphire, Nathan and Roxanne.

Is there anything you want to say to your coach?

This experience has been so amazing and I'm just so grateful to be here.

I would like to say thank you, you know, for believing in me

and pushing me.

I think that's the biggest thing

is, you know, having you be there and being really supportive.

George, you've been an incredible inspiration and thank you so much.

And congratulations to Boy George's artists

And congratulations to Boy George's artists

heading into the showdowns.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Go, Team George!

(LAUGHS)

Let's keep rolling through the play-offs.

Next to the stage, it's Team Guy.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Alright.

I've been excited to start this with you.

You know, being in these chairs when I could hear your voice.

# Because there's nothing, nothing...

GUY: I was like, that's unique. That's what I'm looking for.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

But then I've now saved you.

(LAUGHS) No, I'm stoked.

How are you feeling about it?

Honestly, I feel so relieved to be on your team.

The previous songs chosen on Kelly's team,

I was really disheartened

and I didn't think that I got a good enough opportunity

to show Australia what I actually sound like.

I could definitely tell in the battle,

there was quite...

a lot of nerves

and I just felt like you were hiding or something.

What makes you nervous?

I've always been quite a self-conscious person

I've always been quite a self-conscious person

and I think it stems from something deeper,

something much deeper that I think that I've never dealt with before.

A lot of my anxieties would stem from traumatic experiences

from a younger age...

and emotions always come up about it

even just touching on the topic of it.

But um...

But yeah, I think we're all struggling with these things and...

I can't even talk about it.

Sometimes unless we're forced

to actually confront things in our lives,

to actually confront things in our lives,

we don't confront them. No, exactly.

You know, and it's not out of laziness,

it's out of fear. Yeah.

Just be unashamed of who you are.

You've got a really unique voice

and I want as many people to hear you be Soma and be comfortable.

It felt like I...

I feel like Guy could see a lot in me.

He could see straight away what areas I needed to work on.

I'm pretty excited about what we've got planned.

Like, I hope you dig it. Me too.

(LAUGHS) It'll be fun.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

And you've got to meet your play-off partner.

Hello! Hello!

We'll do an elbow. The most loving elbow.

Oh, my goodness.

So, the theme I've chosen for you guys is '90s.

Actually, were you even born in the '90s?

'95. '93.

'93, '95. Yeah, same.

(LAUGHTER) So, it's '90s theme.

Two songs that have made a bit of a resurgence as well.

'Show me love'.

For me? For you.

Yeah. I love that song.

Now, Soma, for you, it's Monica versus Brandy.

'The boy is mine'.

OK!

As soon as he told me, I was like, "Oh, amazing."

Watching some of the performances back, Steph,

vocally, you are just insane.

She's got this low tone

and then she's got this, like, airy beautiful tone,

and then this power tone that can cut through,

and what I would love to concentrate on is to unify your tone.

and what I would love to concentrate on is to unify your tone.

Mm-hm.

Two, three, four.

# Heartbreaks and promises

# I've had more than my share

# I'm tired of giving my love...

And there were moments where Steph was altering her tone

and singing a song like she thinks it's should sound like

as opposed to singing a song.

It just sounds like there's this voice

that is there for the first part of the line

and then there's this other voice that's there for the end of it.

Yeah. It's like...

Yeah. It's like...

(DEMONSTRATING TONE) # Heartbreaks and promises...

Oh.

I just would almost rather you go...

Hey!

And yell out and go, "That's my real voice."

"I'm not going to hold onto notes unnecessarily"

"because I'm trying to sprinkle this stuff on."

Can you just sing that verse once more

from where you went after the...

Yep.

# Heartbreaks and promises

# I've had more than my share...

Even that, even that just then was better.

Even that, even that just then was better.

Better? OK, cool. I was trying. (LAUGHS)

So, that's what I want you to try and strip away

is those little, "You've got to..."

All of that stuff.

Yeah, it's just always that kind of overcompensating

to sound unique, you know, that kind of thing.

I think that's what it is.

You probably have a lot of work to do, Steph,

because it is harder to undo things.

Kind of tough to hear that kind of feedback

where he, you know, wants you to change stuff

that you've been doing all your life or that, you know,

you think has been sounding good all these years.

But I love that honesty

But I love that honesty

and I really want to prove to him that I can do it.

# You need to give it up

# Had about enough

# It's not hard to see

# The boy is mine. #

You sound great doing this.

Yeah, I love this song.

Why not just throw it all in there for this.

I've seen you rap, right? Oh, yeah.

Can I put my own rap in there?

Yeah.

I want Soma to be herself

and show off everything that she does.

and show off everything that she does.

I'd love to just see you

come out of your shell a little bit in this rap

because I think if you're going to rap,

you're going to have to deliver a message

so it just gives you an opportunity to be comfortable

but still out there.

OK, cool.

I'm glad the little rap thing got thrown in there.

I'm glad to be doing it with a coach who I know has my back.

I want Soma to have no regrets.

She has that uniqueness but struggles with confidence.

Whereas Steph is incredibly confident.

I just want her to find that uniqueness and that identity.

I just want her to find that uniqueness and that identity.

I really have to stand out

but I also have to make sure I don't just try and be unique

for the sake of being unique.

SOMA: I really struggle with nerves,

so going up against someone with so much confidence,

it's extremely nerve-wracking.

She's got an even more vibrant song,

so I've got to, yeah, match that game.

I have to win.

# This is The Voice! #

# This is The Voice! #

Throwing it back to the '90s, it's Soma Sutton.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

RENEE: And Stephanie Cole.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# I think it's time we get this straight

# Sit and talk face to face

# There is no way you could mistake

# Him for your man, are you insane?

# You need to give it up

# Had about enough

# It's not hard to see

# The boy is mine

# I'm sorry that you

# Seem to be confused

# Seem to be confused

# He belongs to me

# The boy...

(RAPPING) You don't read between the lines

Yes, he captivates my mind

Synchronise signs Simultaneously stalls the guy

You be out, It's the space time continuum

It seems to be imminent

Isn't it Just the way you picture this

Look away, candidate, listening

Subliminal imaging

Just enough to make you think

'Cause I dream, I will sing...

# He belongs to me

# The boy is mine. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Heartbreaks and promises

# I've had more than my share

# I'm trying to give you my love

# And getting nowhere

# Oh

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# It's been so long since I've touched a wanting hand

# Oh, yeah

# I can't put my love on the line

# And that I hope you understand

# So baby, if you want me

# Hey, you've got to show me love

# Words are so easy to say

# Oh, right

# Oh, right

# You've got to show me love

# You've got to show me love

# You've got to show me love. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DARREN: Fantastic.

So beautiful. DARREN: Come on down.

Come on down.

Wow! So much to love about the '90s.

Over to you, Kelly, in Los Angeles.

Obviously, Soma was on your team and Guy came in and saved her.

Obviously, Soma was on your team and Guy came in and saved her.

What's your thoughts?

Soma, I've got one question for you.

Yeah.

You waited to go to Guy's team to show me that?

(LAUGHTER)

I don't know how to feel about that right now.

I don't know how to feel about that.

I'm so serious.

I'm like, and I wasn't expecting it.

And I really enjoyed it.

Did you write the rap?

I wrote the rap, yeah.

Girl, if I was there, I would pop your hand

like a teacher would.

Oh, my gosh, I'm so mad you said that but I mean, I am happy.

Oh, my gosh, I'm so mad you said that but I mean, I am happy.

You know, I think it's all about

the artists always get with the coaches

that they're supposed to get with.

(APPLAUSE)

Stephanie, you came out with a lot of freedom

and you were having so much fun, so then I could have so much fun.

I really thought you were very magnetic

and just you really sparkled, so that was really beautiful.

Wow. Thank you so much, Delta. (APPLAUSE)

And Soma, like, you're so unique

and there's something so interesting.

I kind of just wish you had that thing in Stephanie,

that freedom out there

that freedom out there

because I just wanted a little more

of the performance side from you tonight.

(APPLAUSE) Thank you.

Guy, your choice.

I wanted to see how both of you

responded to the challenge this week.

Steph, with you, it was joining all of your tones into one

and making it a seamless voice,

and in that performance, you did that

and that's what I love about you.

Like, you just take any challenge on,

and Soma, I'm so proud of you.

Like, look what you just did.

That's what the show's about.

It's about growing

and it's about finding out things that you didn't know about yourself,

and it's about finding out things that you didn't know about yourself,

working on them and ironing it out, and trying to do it in a week.

My decision really is about who I think will benefit from this.

For me, the person who I'm going to be taking through tonight...

..is you, Stephanie.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) DARREN: Congratulations, Stephanie.

You seem shocked.

You seem shocked.

Are you a little shocked?

It's...

Yeah, it's been a privilege sharing the stage with Soma.

I'm so inspired by your tone

and just the person that you are on and off the stage, so I am...

Yeah, I'm shocked and I'm so grateful, Guy.

Thank you so much for your honesty

and for always seeing more in me than I even seen myself sometimes.

I can't thank you enough.

Congratulations.

You can make your way to the green room now.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) DELTA: Well done!

And Soma, I feel like I've unlocked something

that you need to work on

but you need time to work on it.

But I just don't think this particular time in your life

on this particular show is right for you right now.

OK. Well, the thing about that is

is that I didn't even really want

to come on the show in the first place

and I was convinced to come here,

to be here and stand here and do this in front of you

and, like, it is disheartening.

Your advice that you guys all give, it's like, is it genuine?

Or is it actually, like...

Or is it actually, like...

I just would like to know, you know, what you really think.

Like, do I actually have what it takes to be a musician or...

Soma, can I...

I'm so sorry to cut you off.

Take a deep breath in.

No one's going to waste their time

and just tell you something because it sounds good

and I like the fact that you are asking us

like, for real, for real, like, "What y'all think?"

I think just the disheartening thing about it

is that you don't have enough time to get the know me,

you don't know why I'm in my shell.

We can only dive in to our artists

We can only dive in to our artists

as much as they let us dive in.

Sure. And so, if you don't tell me

what stops you from being the artist you need to be, what can I do?

GEORGE: You know, sometimes you have to become

what you're going to become despite the obstacles

and we can't make you into what you're going to become

but you definitely have something very unique about you.

Thank you, George. That's beautiful advise.

Thank you.

I think you've got something very special

but you have to trust

and you have to deal with the things

and you have to deal with the things

that are holding you back.

Yeah, for sure. Thank you so much.

(APPLAUSE)

NARRATOR: Coming up, a heartbreaking decision for Guy.

I have to go with the person who I think

has the most special gift right now.

NARRATOR: And later...

I want you to, like, go for it!

..Kelly pushes Chris outside his comfort zone.

I could see myself outside of my body, dancing.

I could see myself outside of my body, dancing.

I didn't like it.

I look like Steve Urkel on stage.

(LAUGHS) It's going to be bad.

# This is The Voice! #

# This is The Voice! #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Welcome back, everybody,

to the final night

and what a night it's been of The Voice play-offs.

All of Team Guy has now performed.

Big congratulations goes to Adam, Johnny, Timothy and Stephanie.

Big congratulations goes to Adam, Johnny, Timothy and Stephanie.

They all cemented their spots in our showdowns.

GUY: You do have incredible uniqueness

and that tone is stunning.

You can do anything.

You're phenomenal.

You are the ultimate storyteller.

You just take any challenge on and you just go for it.

You're such a pro.

It's now time for Guy to pick his wildcard winner.

But before he does that, let's take a look back

at all of his team's performances in the play-offs.

# I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the light

# No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch...

# Move for me, move for me, move for me, yeah, yeah, yeah

# And when you're done

# I'll make you do it all again, yeah! #

# How am I supposed to love you

# When I don't love who I am

# When I don't love who I am

# How do I give you all of me

# When I'm only half a man...

Listening, subliminal imaging, Just enough to make you think

Because I dream, I will sing

# He belongs to me, the boy is mine. #

Guy, incredible performances there.

But now it is decision time.

Who gets your wildcard tonight?

GUY: Um, wow.

As a coach, obviously this is the part we hate the most.

As a coach, obviously this is the part we hate the most.

'Cause I love you guys and I love that we get an opportunity

to show Australia what we do

and I hope that you're proud of what you've done.

I really, really hope that.

I have to go with the person who I think

has the most special gift right now.

My wildcard and the person I'm taking through

as my fifth member of Team Guy...

..is Matt Gresham.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DARREN: Matt, congratulations, buddy.

You can join the rest of the team up in the green room.

Thank you. You are the fifth member of Team Guy

going forward.

DELTA: Well done, Matt.

That voice. That voice!

Thank you, Guy.

Join the team, brother. What a team. Wow.

What a great team.

I'm stoked.

You'd have to mention

that we're having another lumberjack moment on the show.

GUY: Oh, yes, there is a lot of lumberjacking going on.

Thank you, sister.

Soma and Wolf and Josh, we're really going to miss having you here.

It's been such an honour. You've been incredible.

Is there anything you would like to say?

Yeah, guys, you know, I just want to thank you

for everything you've done. You know, it's been phenomenal.

I didn't even think that I was going to turn a chair

in the first place, so, you know, thanks, guys.

This has been a wild ride and you've all been so gracious.

This has been a wild ride and you've all been so gracious.

I'm just so proud and happy to be up here,

performing with people of this calibre and this team.

It's just been amazing.

Thank you so much. All the love. Thank you.

Let's give a big congratulations

to Team Guy's showdown artists up there.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DARREN: What a team.

What a team!

Now, it's time for the final play-off of 2020 with Team Kelly.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

This play-off is between my extraordinary all-stars.

Chris Sebastian versus Lyric.

CHRIS: Lyric is ridiculous.

As far as confidence goes,

she's just got it in spades

and I think that's where she edges me out.

Chris Sebastian is really good.

Putting us together, nice move, Kelly. (LAUGHS)

Nice move.

I... I...

You were the one person I was like, I wonder if it's going to be her.

Oh, man. Let's do the whole...

Good to see you. It's weird.

I'm so excited!

Battle of the all-stars! CHRIS: This is going to be fun.

Let's go! This is going to be fun.

It's the all-star part.

Because this makes me feel like,

well, Kelly doesn't need two all-stars on her team, does she?

# I'm legendary. #

What I find so interesting

is that all of us are now working musician parents.

is that all of us are now working musician parents.

Yeah. Yes.

That hasn't sunk in yet.

And I have to say, like, balancing it all is not the easiest.

How's daddy life?

You know, I gotta ask.

It's going amazingly.

It's going so well. Yeah?

Yeah.

Being a new dad is the greatest.

# Someone I've been looking for

# Everything's changed...

CHRIS: It's the best thing in the world.

She smiles and every bad thing,

every sleepless night just disappears.

# I found what I've been looking for...

Eva was born during this whole lockdown period,

so I haven't had to balance it yet.

So, that's about to happen

and that's about to hit me a little bit harder, so...

Good luck. Yeah. Thanks for that. I'm...

Wait, Lyric, how do you balance it?

I just made them part of it.

So, all my kids sing, so they get it.

What? They all... I know.

Some of them try and sing better than me.

Some of them try and sing better than me.

They can try. (LAUGHS)

My kids...

It's so important for me to be a good example to them.

More than anything, I just want them to, you know,

just reach for the stars.

I'm super excited about...

The theme for you guys...

..is Bruno Mars.

Whoo! Yes.

Yeah! I love Bruno Mars.

Yeah! I love Bruno Mars.

Then move over. So do I.

(LAUGHTER)

Well, that's what I'm saying.

I think Bruno Mars is the bomb.

He's the ultimate performer at this point in time

and what he does, he brings fun.

Whether it's a ballad or whether it's an up-tempo song,

boyfriend can cut it. Yeah.

So, I have given Lyric 'Grenade'...

(GASPS)

Wow.

I love that song. Good tune.

And I have given you, Chris...

(SINGING) # 24 carat magic...

Oh, no way! What a tune!

That's going to be fun. That's not easy to sing.

That's going to be fun. That's not easy to sing.

I am typically a ballad person.

I'll take fast songs and I'll turn them into ballads.

This is new territory for him

but I want him to embrace it and have a good time with it.

I like singing ballads. Yeah, yeah.

But I also like running round the stage like a crazy person

and having fun with it, so...

Then I think that you should try it.

I feel like I'm going to have to with this song.

No, no. I'm saying right now.

Now? Yeah.

Oh, man. Right... Yes!

(SINGING) # Pop, pop, it's showtime, showtime,

# Showtime, showtime

# Showtime, showtime

# Guess who's back again...

(SQUEALS)

Like, I want you to, like, go for it.

Well, that's just put me on the spot.

I've done that to myself though. That's my bad.

Yes, you have.

I look like Steve Urkel on stage.

(LAUGHS) It's going to be bad.

Bruno is such a showman and I felt like,

you know, Chris has to, like, really lean in more to that.

(SINGING) # Pop, pop, it's showtime, showtime,

# Guess who's back again...

I felt like a proper doofus.

I could see myself outside of my body, dancing

I could see myself outside of my body, dancing

and I didn't like it. (LAUGHS)

I didn't like what I was seeing.

That's what we call improvisation. KELLY: It's all good.

LYRIC: So good.

By the way, when you just gave me this

and you put your hand in the air... That was yours.

I just copied your move. (OVERLAPPING SPEECH)

But it was a vibe.

It didn't even matter. It was a vibe.

I'm going to have to get out on stage and move a little bit

and not make a fool of myself.

Alright. Well, then let's get started, Lyric.

CHRIS: Yeah.

Lyric has all the sass, needs no help in that department

Lyric has all the sass, needs no help in that department

and with this, they're going to see a whole different side of her.

You come across so incredibly strong, which is not wrong.

But you have to show that the vulnerable.

You know, like, when you're holding a child when it's not well,

you know that...

You've got to give that.

# To give me all your love

# Is all I ever ask

# 'Cause what you don't understand

# Is I'd catch a grenade for you

# Is I'd catch a grenade for you

# Throw my hand on the blade for you

# I'd jump in front of a train for you

# But you won't do the same. #

Alright. Amazing.

(CHUCKLES) Wow.

All I have to say is, Lyric,

I'm thousands of miles away and I can feel you.

It's...

Yeah, I can see each of my children

Yeah, I can see each of my children

singing it and yeah, it's...

It's...

Yeah.

You thinking about taking that bullet for them.

Yeah.

You know, I think you sang it pretty perfectly

but up the ante.

Yeah. Just up the ante

'cause you can do it.

It's so believable what you just did.

I want to deliver that.

Whatever that takes.

# Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

# You gotta take a leap...

I've got two dope all-stars on my team.

KELLY: Tough pairings like this,

they have to dust their shoulders off,

dig their feet in the ground.

You've got to be able to go hard or you're going to go home.

# You gotta take the leap

# You gotta feel the fire...

# You gotta feel the fire...

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# This is The Voice! #

# You've gotta take the leap

# You gotta feel the fire

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Easy come, easy go,

# That's just how you live, oh

# Take, take, take it all

# You never give

# You never give

# Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash

# You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did

# To give me all your love was all I ever asked

# 'Cause what you don't understand

# Is I'd catch a grenade for you... (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

# Throw my hand on a blade for you

# I'd jump in front of a train for you

# I'd jump in front of a train for you

# Oh

# I would go through all this pain

# Take a bullet straight through my brain

# I would die for you, baby,

# But you won't do the same. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) DELTA: Wow.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) DELTA: That was amazing.

GUY: Yeah. Killed it.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

That was really good.

Really good.

# Tonight

# I just want to take you higher

# Throw your hands up in the sky

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (LAUGHS)

# Let's set this party off right

# Pop pop, it's show time, show time

# Pop pop, it's show time, show time

# Guess who's back again

# Don't think too hard might hurt yourself

# Known to give the colour red the blues

# Oh, yeah

# I'm a dangerous man with some money in my pocket,

# Keep up, hey

# Put your pinky rings up

# To the moon

# Tell me what you're trying to do

# 24 carat magic in the air

# Head to toe so player

# Head to toe so player

# Oh. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DARREN: How about that?

Come on down, Lyric.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Wow!

All-star battle.

That was incredible.

Delta, who do you think did Bruno better?

Well, it really left me wanting more.

Great choices by both of you.

And Chris, you know, just the energy, it felt joyful.

And Chris, you know, just the energy, it felt joyful.

That first run when you went all the way

from the top of the scale to the bottom,

I was like, "Oh, OK. OK, Sebastians."

(LAUGHS)

Lyric, when you decided to, like, back off on the gas

and just sort of go into the falsetto, I got goosebumps.

That was beautiful. I loved that. Thank you very much.

Lyric, I mean, to me, that's like the first time

I've really, really kind of noticed you in the competition so far

and then Chris, you were performing your bum off,

so I'm so glad you had a chance to do something up-tempo.

so I'm so glad you had a chance to do something up-tempo.

I think you're talking about two ridiculous vocalists.

My gosh.

Well done. You guys deserve to be here.

DARREN: Over to the coach, Kelly, for the big decision.

Are you sweating over there?

You can honestly tell they're both all-stars.

They are seasoned, they know what they're doing on that stage.

Lyric, I'll start with you.

You nailed it.

Thank you. Like, nailed it out of the park

and I'm so glad that you did that.

You deserve this performance.

Thank you very much. (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Chris, I know that you're my balladeer

but we had to shake things up a bit this week

and I'm so glad that we did.

You know your brother told me that he can't dance.

(LAUGHS) Really? No, he can move.

He told me that, he's like, "I'm not a dancer."

Can you call it dancing though? I was like, "Boy, please."

"You're about to get on the stage."

We wanted a vibe and that's what you gave us

and I'm so happy that you did.

You know what I mean?

(GROANS)

So, I have to make a decision.

The artist that I'm going to take through...

..is Chris Sebastian.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

DARREN: OK. Congratulations, Chris.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I'm over the moon.

I'm pinching myself.

Kelly, I'm so unbelievably grateful.

Oh, I'm happy. Thank you so much.

I'm happy. Oh, fantastic.

Great to still have you in the competition moving forward...

I'm so grateful. Thank you. ..to the next phase.

I'm so grateful. Thank you. ..to the next phase.

You can head over to the green room. Thank you, Chris.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Well done, Chris. Well done. Killed it.

Danced your bum off. (LAUGHS)

DARREN: Lyric, not over yet for you.

About a year ago,

I never would've thought that I would be able to sing

let alone on this stage

and there have been so many things that I have been uncertain of

leading up to right now.

But one thing I am definitely sure of is I'm supposed to be here.

But one thing I am definitely sure of is I'm supposed to be here.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

GUY: Yes, you are.

And I...

It's a bit dusty in here, guys.

And if you can be sure

of just like a handful of things in your life

then nothing else can really phase you

and I 100% know that I am supposed to be right where I am right now.

and I 100% know that I am supposed to be right where I am right now.

DELTA: That's beautiful. Alright, Lyric.

DARREN: You can go join Chris over there in the green room.

I will, I will. Thank you. All the best. Good luck.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Thank you, guys.

GUY: Well done.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I mean, she has to be a wildcard.

That was awesome, yeah. I loved it.

I mean, that was, like, one of the best of the day.

DELTA: Loved it.

DARREN: Welcome back.

The whole of Team Kelly has now performed.

Mark, Alex and Chris won their play-offs

and will now perform again in the showdown.

KELLY: I am ready to buy the record, I'm ready to follow you on tour.

You had the courage to, like, go for it.

We wanted a vibe and that's what you gave us.

Earlier in the play-offs, you may remember,

during Jimi and Elishia's play-off,

Kelly made the decision not to take either artist through

to the showdowns, so that's now left her with two wildcards to hand out.

# Oh

# I would go through all this pain

# Take a bullet straight through my brain

# I would die for you, baby

# I would die for you, baby

# But you won't do the same. #

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

So, Kelly, without further ado, over to you.

Who is your first wildcard?

KELLY: I'm going to make my first choice.

So, this artist that I'm going to take through...

This week was a moment

that you showed us another side of you.

The artist that I'm taking through...

..is Lyric.

DARREN: Congratulations, Lyric.

You are off to the showdowns

and become the fourth member of Team Kelly.

Alright, Kelly, who is getting your second wildcard?

The artist that I'm choosing for my wildcard is...

Sadly, that does mean that Bo'ness will be leaving us tonight.

Boys, we have loved having you as part of the show.
