4 great contestants went through on this first episode. I probably wouldn't let Luke Ligtenberg go so soon, but all the others eliminated I don't really care.

Ripley Alexander's audition was epic, no doubts his my favorite.

 

I like this new format, we can connect better with those few contestants who are going through.

Another good episode, I like the cast till here and I think they all have a lot of potential to improve. Ripley is still my favorite though.

 

Conor Smith have been on The Voice Australia before, season 8, he turned 2 chairs and was on Team Guy. I think he is much better now, and I wish we could see more of him.

My favorite episode, I love the 4 who went through. Jake and Saoirse have beautiful voices and did a great audition. Jonathan is a showman, I think his audition was fun and I'm happy he went through cause I think I heard something in his voice and I think he has more to give.

I'm completely in love with Drea, to me her audition was perfect, she is a ready star, definitely an Idol. Her vocals and mainly her dynamics shows she knows what she is doing. She joins Ripley on my favorites.

 

The girls Kyle went after, are the only contestants on this episode that I didn't like, the ones who sang Hallelujah and Landslide have good voices, but really far from the level of the other contestants. Now Rohan, I loved her voice, it's such a different tone, I wish we could've heard some more of her.

The sneak peek for this last week of auditions got me excited. I already know that Jackson will be one of my favorite's, beautiful tone. And also I recognized Imogen, she has been on The Voice Kids Au back in 2014 and she's also really good.
