“I’m sorry”: The Voice Australia coach stuns everyone with divisive move

Fox has grown up around music, having fond memories writing songs with his nan.

She had to stay at home to look after his grandfather after he had surgery, but the 18-year-old had his nan at the front of his mind when he auditioned.

“You’ve just got to give it your all and hope one of them turns,” he said before he took to the stage.

He took a risk singing the Man I Need by Olivia Dean, but it ended up paying off.

In the end, he decided to go with Kate as a coach.

But he was sent home during the Knockouts.

“It’s just an honour to even be here, to get on The Voice has been the most incredible experience ever, and it’s just been so cool. So thank you very much,” he said.

As a trained dancer, being a pop star is Charlotte’s dream.

She decided to perform Rihanna, where all four coaches turned their chairs. In the end, she decided to go with Melanie.

“I soon as I saw you turn, I knew I wanted to pick you,” she said as she embraced her new coach.

Sadly, she was sent home during the Knockout rounds.

Litia chose to prusue music over her father’s dreams of her being a lawyer, so the stakes when she first auditioned.

Thankfully, Tones and I chose to save her to mentor her.

“Thank you so much for the kind comments, I’m soso proud of myself for doing such a big thing and I hope you all enjoy this crazy journey!”

She made sure to make the most of her second chance, and ended up joining Team Melanie.

However, Litia’s dreams came to an end during the Knockout rounds.

The freight train driver blew everyone away during his Blind Audition, but didn’t make it through to the Quarter Finals.

For his final performance in the competition, he sang Another Love.

Richard was one of the artists Richard refused to save in the Knockout round on September 7. In fact, he didn’t save anyone.

“You’ve got to do what’s right for you. I definitely had a bad day, I didn’t put on my best performance, I didn’t sing my best. But the thing is, I am a performer, and I do work very hard, so I’m still going to continue doing this,” he said.

Dicko’s dreams on The Voice Australia came to an end on September 7, when Richard refused to save any of his artists.

“You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do, mate,” he said to Richard. “It doesn’t stop me from chasing my dreams still at 47, I’m going to keep working hard at music, thanks for the opportunity.”

Richard also chose not to save Saem.

“Honestly, I’m feeling a little bit disheartened, but I know that this is just the beginning, and I think the music industry, there’s a lot more waiting for me, and I’m going to get it, and this isn’t going to stop me.”

Going on The Voice Australia was a major step for Madeline, who hadn’t performed in 10 years.

“I had to do it,” she told us about the audition.

“I knew I would always have wondered what would have happened.”

Despite her nerves, she had her karaoke comrades in the back of her mind.

“All you have to do is go and try, and people will respond,” she says about her audition.

However, she was eliminated during the Knockout rounds.

Before her elimination, she told New Idea that she was thankful to work with Ronan.

For her Knockout round, she performed Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.

While Benny D impressed everyone with his looping during the Blind Auditions, he didn’t make it past the Knockout round.

Kate didn’t like his rendition of Hallelujah, even saying she no longer liked the song after hearing his version!

Lachlan has been a trained opera singer for the last 15 years, and took the bold risk to perform without a microphone, in order to respect the discipline.

It paid off, because all of the coaches turned around.

In the end, he decided to go with Kate.

But, he was sent home during the Knockout round.

“Thank you to Kate, thank you for having me, I had the best time. I hope to see you all again,” he said.

While she loves to sing, Renee’s life changed forever when she discovered a vocal nodule on one of her vocal cords in 2024, and needed intensive surgery.

With the other vocal cord severely inflamed from overuse, she once feared that she wouldn’t be able to sing again.

However, she blew the coaches away with her rendition of Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra for her Blind Audition.

In the end, she chose Ronan.

But he didn’t save her during the Knockout round.

“I just want to say thank you to Ronan. You’ve been so supportive,” she gushed.

Georgia took the ultimate risk – quitting her day job to audition for The Voice Australia.

While she originally didn’t get any chair turns, Tones saw something in her, so she had the opportunity to redeem herself.

And that’s exactly what she did, and had all four coaches turn!

She chose to join team Ronan, but didn’t make it past the Knockout round.

“This won’t be the last you see of me, Australia!” she said.

Being on The Voice Australia is a dream come true for the mother of two, who longs to be a singer.

“I love being a mum; it’s the greatest gift. They’re my rock, but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” she says.

She knew the pressure was on when she planned to audition with Celine Dion’s hit, Because You Loved Me, which she dedicated to her father, husband and children.

Then, she had to make it through to the Quarter Finals, but Richard didn’t choose her.

“So blessed to be able to sing my heart out again. Thank you Lord for this opportunity ❤️🙏🏼,” she wrote on Instagram.

While Sam wowed everyone during his Blind Audition, he didn’t make it past the Knockouts.

Findlay was born with a rare heart condition and had three open-heart surgeries before he turned six.

Before his audition, he revealed that growing up, he felt left out because he couldn’t participate in sports with other children his age due to his health, so he turned to music.

He performed Survive by Lewis Capaldi and chose Ronan as his coach.

But that was as far as he went in the competition. He was eliminated during the Knockout round.

“I had the most incredible experience and it’s something I will never forget, thank you to everyone that supported me, the love has been overwhelming,” he penned on Instagram.
