The Voice Australia: Keith Urban stunned by Jessica Mauboy’s ‘shock’ decision

The Voice Australia coach Keith Urban is left baffled by Jessica Mauboy’s ‘shock’ decision during the battle rounds

Keith Urban was stunned when Jessica Mauboy sent contestant Kaylee Bell home during the battle rounds on Sunday’s episode of The Voice.

Jessica had earlier blocked Keith from having Kaylee on his team during the blind auditions after she performed a song written specifically for him.

But in a shock twist, she decided to let go of Kaylee following her performance of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac against Finnian Johnson.

After the pair’s performance, Keith said: ‘I obviously wanted Kaylee for my team but sweet Jessica here blocked me.’

‘I’m not mad or anything,’ he added sarcastically.

‘I am. I’m still mad. I think, Kaylee, your vocal styling really came out in that song and it was very good.’

Jessica then revealed her decision on who would be staying in the competition.

‘I’m so super proud of you both. Kaylee, you’re just effortless and you just know where you’re going with the song. Coaching you is like setting you up to shine,’ she said.

‘Finnian, goodness gracious me, that tone that you have, it is meant to tell stories.’

‘You have this barrel thing that’s really deep in your gut. This is a really tough decision,’ she added, before revealing Finnian as the winner.

A shocked Keith exclaimed: ‘Oh, wow!’

He then yelled ‘Go, Kaylee!’ as she left the stage following the verdict.
