Hundreds of aspiring singers line-up in the hopes of being selected by one of the coaches on The Voice Australia, and 2024 is no different.
In order to boost viewers’ anticipation, Channel Seven has begun to slowly tease the identity of each contestant set to appear in the new season of The Voice.
Before the real competition can begin, the hopeful singers must enter a Blind Audition where the coaches will either slam that big red button to turn their chair or unfortunately reject them.
On the coaching panel is Guy Sebastian, Adam Lambert, LeAnn Rimes and Kate Miller-Heidke. Guiding the contestants through their wins and losses is 2023 Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger as host.
The network is yet to reveal the full list of contestants for The Voice 2024 but continue scrolling to discover the young hopefuls as they are announced.

Liz Player, the 20-year-old from Sydney’s northern beaches sang It don’t mean a thing (if it ain’t got that swing) by Duke Ellington – with a twist. She did some scatting, completely improvised.

Tom Leeming – ELIMINATED
Team Adam
Tom Leeming, the 29-year-old from Queensland, wowed the judges, playing the piano and singing, Somebody to Love by Queen – a risky move since Adam is now the lead singer of the British band.

Team LeAnn
Singing, Anyone by Demi Lovato, Amber, 22, impressed LeAnn and Kate enough to turn around in their big red chairs.

Mol Turner – ELIMINATED
Team Kate
In what was probably the most unique The Voice anywhere audition, 17-year-old Mol, a cheerleader, did a rendition of Britney Spears’ hit song Toxic that was… memorable.
The death metal singer took that pop song to depths it’s certainly never been before, using her “scream voice”.
Kate was the only coach that turned around, but the other judges were very impressed that such a sound could come out of such a small human.
Hannah Sands – ELIMINATED
Team Guy
Self-professed ‘mummy TikToker’ Hannah got both Guy and LeAnn to spin around thanks to her performance of Snooze by Sza.

Before her audition, Hannah gushed about being a fan of Guy, so it was no surprise when she chose his team!
Jaydin Shingleton
Team Guy
Singing Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton and strumming his guitar, Jaydin tempted Guy to spin around first. Then soon after, the rest of the judges turned their chairs, with Kate being last only by a hair.

It was a good move because Jaydin chose to be on his team in the end.
Jaedyn Randell

The voice behind Disney princesses Moana and Frozen‘s Princess Ana in New Zealand, Jaedyn performed a beautiful rendition of Big White Room by Jessie J, earning three chair spins from Kate, Guy and Adam.

Everyone agreed it was truly a spiritual experience!

Team Adam
Taking a risk and singing, Whataya Want From Me by coach Adam Lambert, Cody proudly took the stage for an amazing performance.

Team LeAnn
Natalie Colavito, the 37-year-old from Sydney with powerhouse vocals belted out Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, captivating the judges.
Adam even got on stage, performing a surprise duet with Natalie, and it rocked the house.
“I’m a stickler for pitch and to hear you hold out those notes with such power and passion – your voice could sing anything. There’s so much to work with,” LeAnn said in an attempt to get Natalie to join her team. And it worked!
Laura Glynn – ELIMINATED
Team LeAnn
Laura Glynn, 29, performed Vienna by Billy Joel with such heartfelt emotion that every judge but Adam turned.
“That was stunning,” LeAnn praised.

Overwhelmed and moved to tears by the judges appreciation of her audition, Laura explained that her dad, who has been diagnosed with cancer, is her “musical hero and influence” and the reason she was there.
Annie Jones
Team Adam
The fiery 16-year-old from Victoria, Annie Jones, came to The Voice on a mission to join Adam’s team. And it worked!
Her performance of Holding on for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler – the Adam Lambert version, naturally – got Adam (the first to turn), Kate and Guy to spin in their chairs.

Team Kate
MJ took a risk, coming on stage to sing Zero Gravity by coach Kate – the song she sang at Eurovision! – and it paid off. Kate and Guy both turned around.

Team Guy
The first guy of the night to get a turn, Roland, the 32-year-old from New Zealand, got his by singing one of Guy’s early songs, Angels Brought Me Here.
Guy spinned around first, with LeAnn and Kate following.
“You know what I really loved about it? It was so much better than Guy’s version,” Kate said, adding, “That was a joke… in a way.”
It was no laughing matter when Guy then used his ultimate block, securing Roland on his team.
Eden Borrie – ELIMINATED
Team Guy
Performing Life on Mars by David Bowie, the 19-year-old classically trained flautist first got a turn from Guy, who seemed unable to resist hitting his big red button. Next LeAnn turned and then Adam.

“I’m absolutely stoked to have you on my team.”
Tori Darke – ELIMINATED
Team LeAnn
Tori Darke treated the coaches to a performance of Stupid Boy by Keith Urban.
The song was not chosen by random. In fact, the 33-year-old from Brisbane first auditioned on The Voice three years ago – but with a pop song, which did not land with the coaches.
Guy, who was still on the coaching panel then, however, encouraged Keith Urban (another coach that season) to join Tori on stage to sing this very song – Stupid Boy. They did, and it went viral! She now owns her calling as a country music artist.
LeAnn gushed, “I loved when you opened up. There’s power in your voice.”
Aaron Hayward – ELIMINATED
Team Adam
Aaron, the 29-year-old from Melbourne, got Adam to turn his chair with his performance of Arcade by Duncan Laurence. This was a HUGE deal, considering Adam only had one spot left on his team.
That doesn’t mean he didn’t have competition though. Guy, LeAnn and Kate all ended up spinning in their chairs. And when the performance was done, they gave Aaron a standing ovation.
“I thought I’d seen it all and then along comes you,” said Guy, praising his performance.
“You’re like an artistic action man.”
Much to the other coaches dismay, Adam used his ultimate block, securing Aaron on his team.
Cookie Robinson – ELIMINATED
Team LeAnn
Just 16 years old, Cookie Robinson took the stage with a risky song – Can’t Fight The Moonlight by coach LeAnn Rimes.
But her risk paid off! LeAnn turned. She said, “It takes a lot of guts to come out here and sing one of our songs.”
The two ended up doing a duet together.
Paea Havili – ELIMINATED
Team Guy
Singing, Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, Paea impressed the coaches, getting Guy, LeAnn and Kate to turn. Adam really wanted to as well, but his team was full!
“That was torture for me,” Adam said, sharing that he wished he wasn’t so “trigger happy” because he really wanted him on his team.
Arthur Hull – ELIMINATED
Team Guy
Arthur Hull, the 19-year-old from Victoria sang When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars – and the coaches loved it!
Adam, whose team was full, took a sneaky peek while Arthur was performing. Then Guy turned, followed by Kate and then LeAnn.
“This is redemption,” Arthur said, explaining that he was on the show two years ago but didn’t get the result he wanted. Poor guy went into anaphylactic shock after eating a Brazil nut ahead of his audition.
Guy jested, “It took some nuts to come back.”
Annaleese Fuda – ELIMINATED
Team LeAnn
Annaleese Fuda came on the stage to sing Into You by Ariana Grande. LeAnn and Kate both turned – the only two coaches that had space left on their teams.
“I was just mesmerised. I wanted to dive into the pool of your voice,” Kate gushed.
However, the competition against LeAnn was stiff. With both coaches begging for the 27-year-old from Adelaide, LeAnn ended up securing her for her team.
Letitia Butler
Team LeAnn
Letitia Butler sang Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga, earning her a turn from LeAnn and then Kate.
“I have one spot left on my team, and I would do anything to work with you,” LeAnn said.
It worked – Letitia chose team LeAnn!
Nethra Raman – ELIMINATED
Team Kate
Nethra, the 21-year-old from Sydney, sang Bruises by Lewis Capaldi. And she got Kate to turn – the last coach with a spot left on her team.
“Wow, I really felt that deeply,” Kate said. “You’re amazing.”
Jaymee Lancaster – ELIMINATED
Team Kate
The coaches all wished they weren’t so trigger happy earlier in the competition because Jaymee had some pipes! The 19-year-old from Sydney auditioned with Elastic Heart by Sia.
Kate turned with a huge smile after the other coaches urged her to spin around. Once she did, the other three coaches stood up out of their chairs to watch the rest of Jaymee’s performance.
“Oh wow, I’m still recovering from that. I had full-body goose bumps. You’re a true artist,” Kate beamed.
