The Voice semi-finals: Judges forced to choose after impressive performances

Keith Urban was so busy praising one of the other judges he forgot about the singer and Rita Ora was unimpressed by his comments.

The semi-finals of The Voice have wrapped up and it was an emotional night on and off the stage.

Each coach had the chance to hear their final two artists sing for a spot in the Grand Finale before making the tough call on who to send through.

After amazing performance after amazing performance, it became clear that the coaches were in a tight spot.

With nothing but praise for all of their artists, Rita Ora seemingly wanted praise of her own after Keith Urban offered up nothing but amazing words for Jessica Mauboy.

When Jess’s artist Ella belted her heart out to Symphony by Clean Bandit, featuring Zara Larsson, Keith praised Jess for her exceptional coaching.

“I loved watching Jess watch you,” Keith said. “You’re the most amazing coach Jess. You’re so encouraging.”

However Rita wasn’t having it.

“Excuse me!” she interjected. “What about me and Guy?”

“Sorry I’m talking past you Rita,” Keith said, standing up to look past her at Jess. “You’re the most amazing, incredible coach. If more people were like you, really … the world would be such a better place” Keith added before pretended to walk off.

“I’m going,” she laughed.

“There’s a walkout,” announced host Sonia Kruger.

“Oh no no, I’m kidding,” Rita added, making her way back to her chair.

Almost forgetting that Ella was on the stage waiting for feedback on her performance, Keith lost his train of thought.

“Where was I?”

Finally giving Ella some feedback he added, “It was an amazing song choice and you have amazing range.”

All of the performances were great but only four contestants could go through to the Grand Finale.

Keith decided to take Arlo, saying goodbye to Lau.

Jess took on Mick, meaning Ella didn’t make it through.

Guy made his decision to take Bella Taylor-Smith, and not Jordan.

Rita couldn’t say goodbye to her amazing girl group G-Nation, which meant she had to farewell Sian.

The Voice Grand Final is on Sunday September 12, 7pm on Channel 7 and 7 Plus.

Voting for Season 10 will occur exclusively at ​​https://7plus.com.au/the-voice/vote and will open after Sunday night’s show.
