In Partnership with The Voice

As the Battle Rounds get to the pointy end in the 2024 season of The Voice, we can’t help but reflect on the journey so far. With Sunday’s episode on the horizon, let’s recap the jaw-dropping performances and show-stopping drama that have kept us all enthralled.

Reuben De Melo’s Breathtaking Blind Audition

Though you might have to cast your mind all the way back to the first episode, who could forget FIFO worker Reuben De Melo’s unbeatable performance of Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire”? From the very first note, De Melo captivated the coaches and the crowd, setting an impossibly high bar for the remainder of the season. Incidentally, his performance also prompted coach LeAnn Rimes to use the very first Ultimate Block of the season.

SKŸE’s Soaring Vocals

Another big moment in the Blind Auditions occurred when artist SKŸE took to the stage and performed Billie Eilish’s song “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie soundtrack. The performance was so incredible that all four coaches turned their chairs and vied for SKŸE to join their teams. As SKŸE opted for Guy Sebastian, the remaining coaches admitted they’d be “hard to beat.” After the performance fans took to social with an outpouring of love, and comments like “I literally held my breath the whole performance.”

Cookie Robinson and LeAnn Rimes Fight the Moonlight

There’s no doubt that all the coaches on The Voice are musical powerhouses, and Rimes is no exception. So when Cookie Robinson performs Rimes’ iconic track “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” it was a bold move. Fortunately, the risk paid off, as Rimes was blown away by Robinson’s rendition, earning her a spot on Team LeAnn. The duo then took the stage together, delighting fans with a duet of the song, while the crowd sang along to every word.

Guy Sebastian’s Big Save

As we moved from the Blind Auditions and into the Battles, the drama took a turn with a spectacular soul battle between contestants Roland Williams and Jaydin Shingleton. Both poured their hearts into Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” leaving their coach Sebastian facing an impossible choice. Ultimately, he chose Williams, saying he felt Roland was “most at home” in the song. However, Shingleton’s performance impressed all four coaches so much they all decided to save him. Despite their urging to switch teams, Shingleton chose to stay loyal to Sebastian, who now had no saves left for the remainder of the Battle rounds.

An On-Stage Proposal

The Battle Rounds have provided a string of high-octane performances so far, but they’ve also delivered something unexpected – a whole lot of love. One of the emotional highlights came in last week’s episode when real-life couple Jenna Hudson and Yorke Heath battled it out against each other with Paramore’s “The Only Exception.” Although Kate Miller-Heidke decided to advance Heath to the Knockouts instead of Hudson, fans swooned when Heath dropped to one knee and proposed. Now that’s great TV!

As the Battle Rounds are starting to wrap up, there’s no doubt that each artist has got what it takes. But with many unexpected twists and heartfelt moments still to come, who will rise to the challenge and claim their spot in the finals of the Voice 2024?
