The popular singing contest The Voice is back for 2021!
The reality show is entering its 10th season, and this year it’s not only welcoming new coaches but a whole host of talented fresh faces who will no doubt take Australia’s breath away.
The panel of judges includes three exciting additions who are replacing Delta Goodrem, Boy George, and Kelly Rowland.
Guy Sebastian, who has kept himself firmly placed on his red chair, will be joined by Australian country music star and Nicole Kidman’s husband, Keith Urban, actress and singer Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy – who rose to fame in 2006 on the hit show Australian Idol and has since gone on to carve out a successful music career.
Talent shows have offered some of the best TV moments, from uncovering mega-talent to emotional backstories; there’s a reason The Voice has had such enormous success.
Last year Guy’s brother, Chris Sebastian, carried on the famous family name by winning the competition with Kelly Rowland as his mentor.
The show will air on Channel Seven after the Olympics – and to say we are excited is an understatement!
As we count down to The Voice‘s premiere, meet the incoming batch of contestants

Halimah Kyrgios
Does this name sound familiar? That’s because Halimah is tennis pro Nick Kyrgios’ 31-year-old sister.
The performer has worked in musical theatre for years, and in an interview with The Canberra Times, Nick told the publication that she’s had to make a lot of sacrifices.
“She has always done what is best for her and her career, and it shows, she made a lot of early sacrifices and was away from family to go to uni in Singapore and has worked overseas in many countries doing musical theatre,” he said.

Jordan Fuller, 19
Jordan has spent his whole life immersed in music, with a singing teacher for a mother.
He chose to perform Harry Style’s hit song Falling for the four judges, and in a short clip released by Channel Seven, it’s clear he more than impressed them.
“I can’t believe how somebody this young has that much soul in his voice,” Rita Ora says in the preview clip.
However, in a wholesome twist, Jordan isn’t the only Fuller to appear on the show as he will be joined by his sister, Sian.
