The Voice Australia 2013 Recap: Harrison Craig, Celia Pavey, Early Favorites Unhurt in Battle Rounds
The Voice Australia 2013 finished its first of several Battle Rounds Tuesday, as the competition continues to find the show's second champion. Harrison Craig and Celia Pavey, who are both early favorites, survived the 'battle' unscathed.
Contestants from the coaches/judges teams gear up their vocals for the next important step towards The Voice 2013 championship. But first, the coaches - Delta Goodrem, Seal, Joel Madden, and Ricky Martin - set the mood for the evening by performing "Uprising" by Muse.
Team Delta's Anna Weatherup and Celia Pavey were up first in the sing-off. They delivered a beautiful performance of "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Delta's verdict: Celia goes through the next round.
Team Joel's Michael Paynter and Louise Roussety faced the challenge of singing Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me." The arrangement, however, couldn't help either one of the two contestants. Joel noted the lack of spark in the number, but decided to choose Michael.
Team Delta's Rob Edwards and Michael Stangel made the stage alive come alive with their "Have A Little In Me" sing-off. The judges rose to their feet in recognition of a good number. Delta favoured Rob, but Michael also gets to continue in the competition, after being "saved" by the judges. Michael is now with Team Joel.
Team Seal's Alex Gibson and Skye Elizabeth took on Adele's "Skyfall." Seal chose Alex to continue on in the competition.
Team Ricky's Caterina Torres and Katie Reeve performed Pink's "Try." Both girls sounded good, but Caterina was the better singer for Ricky.
Team Seal's Harrison Craig and Tim Moxey were the last to perform a sing-off. Singing "You Raise Me Up," both contestants did pretty well, but the song belongs to Harrison's 'popera' turf. Seal chose early favorite Harrison.
The next Battle Rounds will air on Nine from April 28 to 30.
