It should be one of the happiest times in Lucy Sugerman’s life, but the youngest finalist to ever tackle The Voice finale isn’t her usual bubbly self when OK! chats to her.

The online comments claiming that the show is “rigged” and she shouldn’t be in the final four, didn’t go unnoticed by the 15-year-old.
“The mean comments do get to me… it does hurt,” she admits.
However, despite deleting her social media apps in a moment of frustration, the Canberra songstress is holding her head high.
“You know, I may be young and my voice may still be maturing, but I’ve been doing this since I was nine so I know what I’m doing.”
Hoseah Partsch
Juggling year 12 studies, a hectic show schedule and the “devastating” news his family were forced to leave their home.
“We had to move out of our house, so we were separated from our grandparents,” tells the 17-year-old.
“It’s been stressful, but we’ve been staying with my uncle and working towards getting back together.”
The Melbourne singer says that winning will not only help him keep his dream alive – “I don’t ever want to stop singing for Australia,” he shares – but the $100,000 prize will also help him with another big goal.
“I’m going to buy my mum a house no matter what,” he shares.
Judah Kelly
Although he sang like a superstar last Sunday, Judah has almost completely lost his voice, and he thinks it might be stress-related.
“As much as you try to relax it [the show] is a lot of pressure… I hope it heals soon,” tells the 20-year-old.
“I feel fine otherwise,” he admits, and says his coach Delta Goodrem has been helping him to overcome his throat problems.
“Delta has been put me in touch with her throat specialist, so I’ll go and see him and she’s been making me tea and has even got me a ventilator,” he explains. “She’s really great.”
Fasika Ayallew
Going onto the show, Sydney’s Fasika, 19, says she finally has the full support of her once uncertain parents when it comes to her singing career.
“They are 100 per cent supportive of me now, they’ve even been making signs and t-shirts [to show their support],” she shares.
The Sydney songstress, however, still isn’t completely without concern going into this Sunday’s final. She admits she’s still “tossing and turning” at night, because of her need to fine-tune every aspect of performance.
“I can be a bit too serious and critical… practising every note and every gesture… that I forget to have fun,” she admits.
