*SPOILER ALERT*
Emily Kate
When it came to selecting her finalist, coach Rita Ora was faced with a tough choice.
“I’d like to think that we saved the best till last,” she told both Emily and Tarryn after their final performance.
Ultimately it was Tarryn she sent through to the grand finale, the judge giving some kind words for the departing Emily.
“Emily, you’re only 18 and you’ve taken everything I’ve thrown at you and smashed it out of the park.”
David Aumua
Fans were devastated to see David eliminated in the Semi Final and so was coach Jess Mauboy.
“David, you have stepped into your light, into your power,” she told the singer after eliminating him in favour of Ezra.
Callum Warrender
It’s been a huge first year as a coach on The Voice Australia for international superstar Jason Derulo.
In the Semi-Final, he was faced with his toughest decision yet as he had to choose between Ethan and Callum for the one spot in the finale.
“Big C, you give us those huge musical theatre notes that just blow the roof off this arena,” Jason said.
“Ethan, you surprise us every single time with knowing who you are as an artist. So, the artist that I’ll be taking through to the Grand Finale is….Ethan!”
Bella Mackenzie
Unfortunately for the beautiful Bella, coach Guy chose Charlie and not Bella to continue to The Voice Australia grand finale for 2023.
“Bella, I know there’s a lot of people watching through this journey that love country music, and just love music in general, that have really connected with you,” he emotionally told the singer prior to her elimination.
Jade Taunton
Her rendition of What About Us by Pink took our collective breaths away, but unfortunately it was this Battle Round performance that was her last as she was sent home and David was sent through to the next stage of the competition.
“I feel privileged to have been a part of this amazing journey and to have sang on that stage with you 🤍.”
Levi X
Despite dazzling the judges with his rendition of Tainted Love, Levi was sent home by coach Rita.
“The Voice of course is just one small stepping stone for me in my music career ahead, and I am going to look back fondly on it,” Levi shared on his Instagram after his onscreen elimination was aired.
Nyree Huyser
Whilst Nyree was sad to depart the competition, she had some kind words for her friend Tarryn Stokes who bested her in the Battle Rounds.
“Tarryn Stokes you are an incredible performer and an even more incredible person, this performance was one I will treasure FOREVER!!!! now go on and WIN THIS THING!!!!!!,” she shared to her Instagram after she was eliminated.
Giaan Jordan
Despite forgetting the words to Justin Bieber’s Hold On in her battle against Shyjana, coach Jess Mauboy had some kind words for the young singer.
“I want to tell you how powerful you’ve been,” Jess told an emotional Giaan.
“For every little girl watching at home struggling with those same feelings, those same insecurities, you challenged that.”
Dillon Rhodes
What a battle it was between Dillon and Ezra Williams from Team Jess!
Unfortunately for Dillon it was Ezra who was selected to progress to the next stage of the competition but we are sure he has bright things ahead.
“I’m sure we haven’t heard the last from Dillon!! Amazing talent!” penned one supporter on social media.
Shyjana
“We had so much fun in the lead up to our battle and I will cherish all of our memories for life I love you always,” Shyjana told her competitor Giaan Jordan after they were both eliminated from the competition.
Elsa Marilyn
Alongside Gezel, Elsa was one of the youngest competitors to grace the stage this season.
Despite the rules of the Battle Rounds stating that one singer per battle would progress to the next stage of the competition, judge Rita Ora chose to send both Elsa and Gezel home in favour of progressing other members of her team further in the competition.
“How is that fair for the two young girls, they battled for no reason in the end 😠,” one confused fan commented on social media.
Gezel Bardossi
After four stellar performances, Gezel has made her final bow on The Voice Australia stage after being eliminated in the Battle Rounds.
“I’m so blessed to have been the youngest contestant to ever be on The Voice stage and prior to this, I had only sung 8 times (in front of an audience) – so it really is the start of my singing journey!!”
Elly Poletti
Elly had us feeling all the feels with her emotional rendition of I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt, but ultimately it was Marley Sola who progressed through to the next round of the competition.
Alex Jeans and Andrew Taylor Knight
Coach Jason stunned Alex, Andrew, and their fellow battle-round competitor Callum Warrender when he offered them all a spot in the semi-finals as a trio supergroup.
“Separately you are really unbelievable. Together as a group you are unstoppable; so, my question to you is: will the three of you as a unit join me for the semi-final?” he posed to the men.
On behalf of the group, Callum responded to Jason’s extraordinary proposal: “The offer is so incredible, and it just warms our hearts that you even think that is a possibility….but together we have decided that we are singular artists. We believe in ourselves, we believe in our artistry enough separately that one of us still deserves a spot in that Semi-Final.”
A shocked Jason then made the tough decision to send through Callum to the next round of the competition, eliminated Alex and Andrew.
Jaydean Miranda
Unfortunately whilst both Jaydean and Bella Mackenzie wowed the coaches with their cover of The Bones by Maren Morris featuring Hozier, only one could progress in the competition, and that someone was Bella, not Jaydean.
On his decision to send Bella and not Jaydean through, Guy said: “The thing that is guiding my gut is really about who I can help the most.”
Etienne Steven
Unfortunately for Etienne, her cover of Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine wasn’t enough to best her battle-round competitor Ethan Beckton.

“I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me and how you’ve helped me grow as an artist and as a person. You are like a big brother to me ❤️.”
“I can’t wait to see what you do in the next round. Lesh go baby!!! Much love! ❤️”
Coach Guy made an emotional tribute of his own to the eliminated Robbie, describing him as “someone who has a lot left in the tank to give, someone who legitimately I see will be a stayer and have some level of industry success.”
Calista Nelmes
Superstar singer Calista Nelmes has stunned audiences with her powerhouse vocals all season long, but unfortunately was sent home midway through the competition.

Maree Mamalis
