Moving on from the Playoffs the contestants aka artists move to the next round. Voice Australia Season 9 Showdowns Finale Spoilers News Recaps.
It’s confirmed that production will be filming the Grand Finale on Tuesday, with 4 possible endings. No-one knows who wins until they air it on the night (based on public voting).
Assuming it will be one artist from each team.
From the auditions contestants chosen numbered 49, the full team names and several clips appear below. Now we drop to 20 after this round.
“The next round of The Voice is The Play-Offs, where each Coach pairs their artists into four groups of two.
This time around, the duos sing a different song each, showing off their skills. The Coach selects a winner and the unsuccessful artists have to wait until the end of Play-Offs to learn who will score the coveted Wildcards.
The Coaches have one Wildcard each and they can only be used to save an artist from their own team.
At the end of the Play-Offs, each team has five artists, with a total of 20 artists left in the competition.”
See the teams and more below…
In summary, all four battle rounds have concluded. All results are posted with links to video and studio audio (if available).

The full-length clips have been deleted by the source.
Soma Sutton – The Boy Is Mine (Brandy and Monica) vs Stephanie Cole – Show Me Love (Robin S)
Emmagen Rain – Not Pretty Enough (Kasey Chambers) vs Steve Clisby – I Still Call Australia Home (Peter Allen)
Old and young, sweet and strong, patriotic, and charming, this playoff was memorable for many reasons. Well done to both. Keep up the good work Emmagen! Steve is a classic.
Virginia Lillye – Chandelier (Sia) vs Sapphire T – Breathe Me (Sia)
Another memorable playoff this season…loved George’s song choices for both, Virginia finally showcased her softer side…more appealing than the 90’s rock chick personality we have seen to date. As for Sapphire, you have the most memorable tones and control gifts, as George said to find your lane! (paraphrasing). You are awesome and have many new fans.
Chris Sebastian – 24k Magic (Bruno Mars) vs Lyric McFarland – Grenade (Bruno Mars)
The Voice coach reveals a time when she was ‘rich broke’ and struggling to keep up.
A contestant on The Voice did not react well after being eliminated from the competition, telling the coaches that she “didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place”.
Soma Sutton and Stephanie Cole competed against each other in a playoff with only one being picked by Guy Sebastian to go through to the next round.
Soma, who before her performance said she struggles with anxiety due to “traumatic experiences” in her past, lost the playoff and was cut from the competition.
“Soma, I feel like I’ve unlocked something that you need to work on but you need time to work on it,” Guy said to her. “But I just don’t think this particular time in your life on this particular show is right for you right now.”
Whereas most eliminated contestants thank the coaches and leave the stage, a visibly upset Soma hit back.
“OK, well, the thing about that is that I didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place,” she said to the coaches. “I was convinced to come here, to be here, to stand here and do this in front of you. And, like, it is disheartening.”
She continued: “Your advice that you guys all give, it’s like, is that genuine? I would just like to know, you know, what…
Mark Furze vs Bo’Ness twins Team Kelly…Mark advanced while the twins pleaded for one of two wild cards available. Both are 16…hang out in the green room…
GOLDI aka Mark and Janie advanced over Claudia…
Did anyone here Delta saying ‘I got you’ after Stellar plead her case?
Both Jesse and Stellar’s performances were so emotional. I’m happy for Jesse going through but Stellar does have something special.
For the record…Ever wondered about the length of each actual vocal? For example, Stella’s actual singing approx 1:16 vs 0:58 seconds for Jesse.
Seems reasonable…for a song playoff series…then spend 4 minutes providing a critique, result and after result pandering…Total 6 mins 43 seconds on the clock.
These are honest and sincere questions.
For years this has become the norm on this type of show, the celebrities gain all the attention and the contestants are the commodities. What do you say?
Then there was Kelly being honest about her trainwreck playoff…watch!
Kelly now has two wildcards to pick.
Timothy advance over Matt. He joins the list of contestants waiting in the green room for a wildcard position.
Angela v Roxy for you…result…Angela advanced this round…love George’s poo suit!
Claudia Harrison has to wait for the wildcard position (as does Stellar on team Delta) what a trainwreck this season has become. Manufactured duo Janie and Matt advanced. Do you see an All-star future for Claudia?
Kelly’s replacement for Ella is Jimi The Kween
RESULTS
Team Delta
Clarissa advanced while Graeme waits for the wildcard. Full clip with comments…
Team George
Just released the full clip video
Siala advanced over Nathan. “That’s rule one of performing – if you don’t show that you’ve made a mistake, most people will have no idea.” Guy Sebastian to Siala.
Masha vs Ellyse. Masha advanced by George.
Team Guy
Johnny advanced over Wolf watch the clip for the performance and comments…
Despina v Alex. Alex advanced…shocker! Wildcard has to go to Despina! Double WTF
Adam v Josh. Guy Sebastian chose Adam.
#TeamGeorge we have:
1. Siala vs Nathan
2. Caleb (can’t see on a trailer) vs Angela
3. Masha vs Ellyse
4. Virginia vs Saphire
#TeamDelta we have:
1. Clarissa vs Graeme
2. Jesse vs Stellar
#TeamGuy we have
1. Johnny vs Wolf
# Team Kelly we have
1. Mark vs Bo’Nesse
2. Chris vs Lyric?
Caleb and Ella weren’t able to continue due to Australia and New Zealand border closures. George and Kelly both could ‘save’ an artist. That explains Elyse returned.
Kelly’s save? Maybe Xy Latu
Quote attributed to George about Ella.
“I was given a chance to bring back an artist who lost their Battle”
continuing with
“There was only ever one artist that stuck in my memory.”
and there is this from Caleb and Ella
“Caleb admitted that as an All-Star, he has at least had the chance to experience life on The Voice before, whereas Ella was fresh to the show. “It’s hard to be bitter about losing what I’ve already had the wonderful joy to experience,” he explained. “I’m more gutted for Ella, because this was her first go around, and I hope she’ll consider coming back for more.”
For her part, Ella agreed she’s keen to try to return in the future.
“I’ve got unfinished business! I guess getting a taste for what it was like being on the show, I want to finish what I started,” she said, adding that she will be “cheering from the sidelines” for the rest of Team Kelly.”
4 July 2020 – updates from Marcin – with thanks to him!
+ # TeamDelta update
Claudia vs Janie & Matt,
so it leaves Steve vs Emmagen (what for me is a little bit awkward but maybe she wants to put the youngest and the oldest artists ever on the voice together.
#TeamGuy Adam vs Josh. So if Elyse is brought back probably someone from Guy’s team could not take part in Playoffs. The only person from his team who is not shown on The trailers is Stephanie, so I assume that she will be replaced by Elyse.
In general, I would add that several states in Australia have/had shut their borders (now reopened them) due to COVID-19 and this may have affected the artists/contestants to continue with the show. Production is in Sydney, NSW and accordingly, may see a shorter season.
Other updates
Claudia – Rushing Back by Flume and Vera Blue
Janie and Matt – Never Be Like You by Flume
The production promo ‘the finals start Sunday’ so have playoffs become the finals? As one comment I read said … “bit premature to be calling the Top 32 the ‘finals’.” What do you think?

Updated post. Thanks Marcin!
It's me again! The new pairing confirmed - on a new video on Facebook we can see #TeamGuy Adam vs Josh. So if Elyse is brought back probably someone from Guy's team could not take part in Playoffs. The only person from his team who is not shown on The trailers is Stephanie, so I assume that she will be replaced by Elyse.
Have a good weekend guys!! :)

Claudia vs Janie & Matt,

Great Site and Fantastic Articles Gary :)
Thanks for both updates Marcin. I appreciate your site feedback!
Alex is Drops of Jupiter by Train
Johnny Before I Go by Guy
Is Siala singing another original?
The artists picked the songs based on the twist announced at the end of the Playoffs.
Consequently, five on each team will be reduced to two on each team…three will be eliminated per team.
The Veronicas’ new song Biting My Tongue…
