Auditioning for a reality singing competition, in general, takes a lot of courage, but to come back and do it for a second time only one year later requires downright bravery. The Voice Australia contestant, Jesse Teinaki did just that.
Jesse did it so well that the judges didn’t even know it was the same person they’d seen a year earlier – including his own coaches!
Last season, Jesse had lost his duet battle with Natasha Stuart. Even though this loss kicked him off the show, Natasha, who was battling cancer was a hero to him. After she succumbed to her illness that following year, the loss hit Jesse and his previous coach Delta hard.
But Jesse used that emotion to grew as a singer over the year, which he displayed during his cover of Billie Eilish’s “When The Party’s Over.” It was raw, emotional, and downright breathtaking.
To the audience, it was no surprise that he was able to get all four judges to turn around, but the judges were totally shocked to see a former contestant standing in front of them and called his voice unrecognizable.
Watch Jesse’s audition in the video below, and share it with your friends!
