The Voice Australia 2013 Recap: Delta Goodrem Finally Uses 'Save' Option, Goes with Steve Clisby
The Voice Australia 2013 held its fourth Battle Rounds Tuesday, and judge/coach Delta Goodrem has finally used her precious "save" with Steve Clisby. Is Delta's choice better than Lauren Dawes?
Nicholas Roy got the first win of the evening. He battled Ryan Sanders for Team Seal, and won the match because his vocals worked well with The Fray's "You Found Me." The sing-off, however, lacked some fireworks.
Nathan Allgood and Sophie Phillis were up next with "Stay" by Rihanna. Sophie sounded as if she were trying to hard, while Nathan was more relaxed during the number. Delta chooses him to stay in her team.
Kathy Hinch and Jessika Samarges took on "Titanium" by David Guetta. Joel Madden choosing Kathy when Jessika was clearly the better performer was a puzzle. Apparently he had hoped Delta would save Jessika, but no, she didn't.
Josh Kyle and Luke Mansini performed "Hearts a Mess" by the brilliant Aussie talent Gotye. It was a vocal mismatch, really, with Luke starting off poorly. As expected, Josh went through to the next round.
Adam Garrett won out against Nick Stenmark in their rather impressive vocals battle to the tune of "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia. It was a toss-up for Team Joel, but the judge eventually went with Adam, again hoping that Delta would use her save. No, she didn't. Again.
Mitchell Anderson and Steve Clisby were up next and Seal chose "Walking In Memphis" by Mark Cohn for them. They gave the judges and the audience a remarkable piano duel onstage, but it was more like a mutually supportive number. The judges were overwhelmed with emotions. Ricky Martin said the two should go on tour together. Ultimately, Seal was left alone to make a decision. He went with Mitchell. Then comes Delta's precious save, finally! For many viewers, it makes great sense that Lauren Dawes and the rest of the too-good-to-let-go-too-soon contestants were not saved in previous battles. (Props for Delta's saving prudence!)
The final battle is up and obviously no one will be saved. The pressure is grater for battlers Imogen Brough and Katie Carr for Team Ricky Martin. They sang "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)" by David Guetta. The judges were split in their decision, but Imogen was named the winner.
And with that, The Voice Australia 2013 is all set for the live rounds!
