The Voice recap episode 5: One judge begs on her knees for a contestant to join her team

Did it pay off?

It’s episode 5 of The Voice Australia 2023 and we saw another round of the Blind Auditions, with one particular stand out.

The episode saw coaches Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Jason Derulo and Rita Ora battle it out for their favourite voices, and all four were desperate to secure one talent who was described as an “undeniable force”.

See below for the highlights from the 2023 Blind Auditions #4!

David Aumua 

David gave such a stunning performance of You Say by David Aumua that he not only got a four-chair turn, but he also had Jess on her knees, begging him to join her team. And, that wasn’t before she blocked Guy mid-pitch.

The Queenslander opened up about his weight insecurities, and emotionally spoke about how they’ve stopped him from pursuing a career in music.

Jess’s desperate plea for the 24-year-old was successful and David officially joined Team Jess.

Nyree Huyser

Nyree also managed to get all four coaches to turn their chairs for her rendition of Stone Cold by Demi Lovato. Rita called the performance “next level” while Guy questioned: “Where have you been hiding?”.

The 37-year-old mother of three opted to go with Team Rita.

Caitlyn Bamber

Year 11 student – and Guy Sebastian super fan – Caitlyn bravely belted out Guy’s song Where Have You Been Hiding. The risk paid off and both he and Jason turned their chairs. After an impressive pitch by Jason, Caitlyn shocked the audience by choosing his teams, instead of Guys.

Maz Green

Guy and Jess both spun their chairs for Maz, who covered TikTok tune Snap by Rosa Linn. After a face-off between the two judges, Maz chose Team Guy.

Sihana Haxhnikaj 

Sixteen-year-old Sihana joined Team Rita after the pop singer spun for her performance of Miley Cyrus’s Nothing Breaks Like A Heart.

The Voice continues 7.30pm on Tuesday on Channel 7 and 7plus.
