The Voice Australia 2025 has kicked off with the Blind Auditions, which have so far seen some highly talented contestants assigned to the coaches’ teams.
The premise of The Voice Australia 2025 is that the superstar coaches Melanie C, Ronan Keating, Richard Marx, and Kate Miller-Heidke blindly listen to contestants perform and then slam their buzzers when they hear something they like
Like last year, each coach has an ultimate block, which allows them to block all of their fellow coaches and ensure the contestant joins their team. The Voice 2025 coaches also received a block, which allowed them to block just one judge.
