Emotions were running high on The Voice tonight as Adam Lambert and Kate Miller-Heidke’s top seven artists competed for a spot in the Semi-Final in the most challenging phase of the competition so far: The Knockouts.
Grouped in duos or trios for the three Knockouts per team, the artists performed individual songs centred around a theme. The winners from each Knockout then faced off in a final Showdown with a song of their choice, leading to two artists from each team advancing to the Semi-Final.
From Team Adam, young guns Annie Jones, Siena Fodera and Arthur Hull triumphed in their Knockouts. The three winners then went head-to-head in a final Showdown with show-stopping performances of Mamma Knows Best by Jessie J, A Song For You by Donny Hathaway and Rocket Man by Elton John.
After their performances, Annie and Siena clinched the first two spots in the Semi-Final, while Arthur was eliminated from the competition.
With Matthew Hearne withdrawing from the competition after The Battles, coach Kate had an open slot on her team. She invited eliminated artist Tom Leeming from Adam Lambert’s team to return to the competition and the gamble paid off. Tom advanced to the final Showdown alongside Jaymee Lancaster and Jaedyn Randall. The trio performed Another Love by Tom Odell, Figures by Jessie Reyez and Mirror by Madison Ryann Ward.
Facing a tough choice, Kate expressed her struggle: “I really hate it. All three of you have your own distinct vocal qualities, which makes this so hard”, before ultimately selecting Jaedyn and Tom for the Semi-Final.
Tonight’s eliminated artists included Lana Sayah, Chloe Kay, Stephanie Milostic, Cody Gunton and Arthur Hull from Team Adam; and Elias Lanyon, Nethra Raman, Yorke Heath, Michael and Violeta, and Jaymee Lancaster from Team Kate.
