The winner of The Voice 2016 is...
... Alfie Arcuri!
Good singer. - Great.
What's your name? - Alfie Arcuri.
Australia meet Alfie.
My name is Alfie Arcuri. I am 27 and...
... I'm from Camden City South West.
I work as an architect and my job involves dealing with clients...
... initial design concepts phase right through to construction on site.
I could count on one hand how many times I've sang in front of people.
I feel a bit vulnerable in those sort of settings. It's quite daunting.
Hi! - How are you?
I'm good!
How are you? - Good.
Did you bring enough people?
It's probably just like everyone else. I sang in the shower and I don't know...
... I never thought I was any good and then my sister was diagnosed with cancer...
... like two weeks before her wedding.
I wanted to do something nice for her so I ended up singing her Bridal waltz...
... for her and her husband.
It was the most incredible thing I've ever done.
How are you now? Is everything OK?
- Better. Now my hair is growing.
So everything's good? Yeah everything's good.
Actually my sister she got Hodgkin's lymphoma like you Delta and...
... that was like motivation for me to get some courage...
... like she was portraying at the time.
- And how did she gotten through?
She went into remission about six months after treatment and...
... she felt pregnant straight away so she's good.
She's actually, she's watching wherever that room is...
- Well done! Survivor.
So it's funny, because during her treatment...
... my mum had a photo of you on our fridge for the whole treatment.
- Wow! ... and I asked her what that was...
... for one day and she said it was so to give my sister courage, ....
... because you know you went through it and and now you're where you are.
- I'm honored that your sister would have me in that time and I'm so proud and happy for you guys.
I felt a beautiful connection to your voice and your moment and...
I turned around cuz I would love to be your coach and love to be on the journey with you.
You have a beautiful voice that, that I'm excited to continue to hear singing.
I go with Delta.
Andrew and Alfie!
Watching Alfie and Andrew in the Blind Auditions...
... something that struck me was incredibly clear; that they both have star quality.
We're in the Battles!
Alfie is so green to music yet he's tapped into his heart and soul...
... when he sings. Have you ever harmonized with anyone?
- No.
When it comes to the technicalities like I just I've got no idea.
And just remember there's the eight notes to the octave and...
... they'll just open up.
He has to find confidence in himself.
You are my hardest battle. I know it...
... you both have the ability I reckon to go all the way.
I just feel like Alfie was the lead singer on that one.
I feel like you're on the stage, this kind of like you've never done...
... this before thing, is nice, but it's gonna get boring quick...
... if you don't really believe in yourselves.
- Yes.
I absolutely really love the two of you.
Alfie.
- Alfie, congratulations!
I feel great!
This is your like sixty seconds, so...
... just remember that you do have to prove yourself...
... up there. I'm honored that the four of you...
... are doing the Aussie songs, that you were making it sound like your own.
You have to remember you have to fight for your position.
The first person I'm taking through is...
... Alfie.
- Alfie, congratulations!
You are going through on team Delta to the lives.
The song I have chosen for you is Pillowtalk by Zayn.
- I love that song.
But Alfie, one of our missions is... we're going to bring a bit of sexy to this song.
It's got to be sexy. It's alright, we're gonna take my clothes off.
It will be a challenge.
Sexy can become awkward with me...
... I don't know we'll have to wait and see.
At the start it doesn't have to be as like aggressive at that first.
- Am I frowning a lot? You're frowning a little bit yeah.
I do that when I'm being sexy though. No joking.
It's my sexy face. Haha.
Just groove into it. Imagine it's just you and one other person...
... and you have to think of it a bit like a striptease.
Very sexy come on huh, what'd you just say Joe?
- Sexy time!
There's no more ice in my drink it's all melted.
I connect a lot with this song because like I recently lost someone.
Do you mind me asking what happened?
My uncle passed away and he was sick for five years and...
... he passed away about five days before the Blinds so yeah.
So it would be a bit tricky. It's gonna be good.
You're OK.
The lyrics are so relevant to what my family and I went through recently.
I guess it's why it sort of struck a chord with me.
You just got an angel in the sky.
Don't shut me out when you start to sing, keep your eyes open...
... stay connected the whole way through. - My goal for Alfie is that he stays...
...connected to every single word so that no one can look away from him.
I mean he's such a beautiful soul and it just comes through the TV and...
... everybody feels it in the whole room and the ability you have in your voice...
... to tap into your heart felt really connected the whole way through and...
... so I'm so proud of you. You couldn't have done any better.
You we're great.
The thing is Alfie, is that somebody's gotta win next week.
- Yeah.
Why not be you?
I need to push Alfie to dream a bit bigger.
I want you to see that you can win this.
I want us to write Alfie, The Voice winner.
I'm visualizing it for you as well.
So we need to write it.
At first I felt a bit apprehensive, because I sometimes, I didn't feel like...
... I deserve these things.
I like seeing that back.
Yeah that's what our goal is. Yeah I thought you know what I could win this.
I do deserve this and why do I not deserve it. I love singing.
Alfie needs to go out there and be fearless and feel that fire...
... that's inside of him.
I was sitting back here watching your performance and...
... man you should be so proud.
You said that the first time you performed to anybody was at the...
... Blinds right? That's incredible.
You've come so far man if you end up going home...
...it doesn't matter for you now.
... Australia knows who you are and...
... you should be very proud man.
Alfie Arcuri! - Come on!
So I wanted to choose a song that really meant a lot to you...
... I thought it should be time that you sang 'All of Me' by John Legend.
I love that song.
It was the first song that I'd sang in front of people, at my sisters wedding.
This is one of the most emotional days of my life, because...
... my sister was obviously sick.
I remember the feeling, as soon as I got there inside, of singing.
My sister was smiling and dancing and it was like...
... I made her really happy...
... in a really bad time in her life.
And then she brings my sister out.
Hello.
She's cheeky.
It means so much to me that your singing this.
- Yeah. Okay.
Alfie needs to go out there and use all those memories as his fight.
You feel like a seasoned pro, you know you really do...
... you stand up there and you deliver man.
You just talk on my heart and you really, I mean, I feel like people really...
... my heart, you just leave my heart on the floor, you see, you just...
...are so connected to the heart.
The winner of The Voice 2016 is...
... Alfie Arcuri!
Yes! Congratulations Alfie!
