Night one of The Voice Generations hits all the right notes
The hotly anticipated premiere of The Voice Generations had superstar coaches Keith Urban, Rita Ora, Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy up, down and spinning around in their iconic red chairs as the first night of Blind Auditions produced one standing ovation after another.
Rita was the first to fill the coveted two spots on her team, out-pitching her fellow coaches to sign two incredible father/daughter acts: R&B pop sensation Micah and Maurice, and emotive vocalists Caitlin and Tim – who had Ora in tears with their version of Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
The Wenas, a vibrant Victorian family of six, turned all four coaches’ chairs with their heart-warming rendition of Sister Sledge’s We Are Family but chose last season’s winning coach, Guy. Jessica teamed up with Western Australian couple Bloom and James after being hypnotised by their haunting performance of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep .
Father and son rock duo, Ty and Eddie from NSW, blew the coaches away with their high-energy take on the Fleetwood Mac classic, Go Your Own Way , with the guitar-loving pair choosing to team up with Keith for their shot at Voice glory.
While the competition was fierce on and off the stage, Keith, Guy and Jess found time to showcase their sublime vocals performing an acapella version of Stand By Me in a mock audition for Team Rita.

Nonetheless, the coaches had nothing but praise for the duo’s competitors, multi-generational bluegrass family band The O’Donnells, featuring three-year-old Amy, the youngest performer ever on any Voice stage in the world.
It was a family affair for Team Guy with Victorian family of six, The Wenas, facing off against the globetrotting buskers from NSW, Kids of Leo. Despite both acts’ incredible voices, Guy was won over by the Wenas’ rendition of I’ll Be There by Jess Glynne.

I binged all three episodes of The Voice Generations on Sunday. It was a great series with some incredible performances. I think some of the contestants may audition solo for future seasons of The Voice.
Congratulations to Caitlyn and Tim Rizzoli for winning Generations.
Kelsi Boyden, who made the grand final with her student Jess Laffan, is an opera singer and will next play Meg Giry in The Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour season of The Phantom of the Opera, which opens on March 25.
The voice set to soar
Superstar coaches left in awe by amazing performance
The world’s biggest singing competition and Australia’s #1 entertainment program of 2021, The Voice , is back, returning soon to Channel 7 and 7plus soon.
Ready to unearth Australia’s next singing sensation and reclaiming their iconic spinning red chairs for another season of fierce competition are ARIA and GRAMMY© Award winner Keith Urban, UK hit machine Rita Ora, mega-selling, singer-songwriter Guy Sebastian and singing and acting sensation Jessica Mauboy.
The calibre of performers stepping up to The Voice stage is higher than ever, but one phenomenal female voice has all four superstar coaches in awe, asking “Whose voice is it”?
From pop and rock to soul, country, R&B and every genre in between, The Voice will again see the nation’s greatest voices perform on the biggest stage in Australia. Expect spine-tingling performances, epic chair-turning moments and standing ovations as music dreams become reality.
With over 60 talented Artists ready to share their voice, what will it take to turn the coaches’ chairs this season?
“What will get me the most is when I feel something; when there’s a truth in their voice that speaks to me beyond the sound of just their vocal and I’m able to feel it deeply,” says Keith.
Adds Rita: "I’m listening for passion. I want to hear how much the person loves to sing and their passion for their artistry.”
Last year’s winning coach, Guy is searching for that one-in-a-million voice. “Special voices are rare, and it is worth fighting for as a coach when you hear it.”
For Jess, it’s the artist’s connection with the song and how they tell their own story within the performance. “I want them to make me jump out of my chair to learn more about them as an artist.”
One of the most successful television shows in the world, the 11th Australian season of The Voice is hosted by Sonia Kruger and is poised to uncover some of the world’s most incredible performers, all vying to be crowned the 2022 series winner.

Look at clip around 49 seconds. All the coaches were encouraging Rita to turn, so maybe they have introduced a cap instead of the unlimited amount of people per team they had last season
The new season starts “after Easter”, according to an updated promo shown during the AFL season opener tonight.
Is it really a good idea to start this so soon after Generations bombed? They should wait until after the Commonwealth Games to get maximum halo effect and give The Block a run for its money.
Generations was a three-night spin-off that was merely a pre-Olympics filler. Think there’ll probably still be interest in the ‘regular’ version (though wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t perform as strongly as it did last year).
Am in two minds about that. On one hand, there’s an argument for doing that considering The Voice performed strongly post-Olympics last year. On the other hand though, the show only ‘tamed’ (for lack of a better term) The Block during the blind auditions phase. As soon as The Voice got past that stage, The Block bounced back (helped by a ‘scandal’) and its ratings took off from there. Guessing the thinking is Seven wants to see if other shows will give The Block run for its money for longer.

Teen stuns superstar coaches
Meet the first artist ready to face the music when Australia’s #1 entertainment program of 2021, The Voice , returns to Channel 7 and 7plus after Easter.
Singing means everything to 19-year old Alley Eley from Melbourne, but in primary school one cruel moment rocked her confidence.
Now, after 10 years, Alley uses the setback to her advantage and summons the courage to prove that you can strive for your dreams no matter what others say.
Her unique rendition of Teenage Dirtbag has the superstar coaches enraptured, and leaves the teenager in tears after all four coaches turn their iconic red chairs.
Keith Urban observed: “We get a lot of fuel from the cheerleaders in our lives, but man we get a lot of fuel from the naysayers who say to us: you’ll never amount to anything.”
Rita Ora added: “You have just scratched the surface of something beyond your expectations.”
