I love you.
But you know that, because we know each other really well.
Oh okay. - Do you?
Yeah.
Her voice, she knows it's a gift.
And I tell you this all the time.
Your voice is insane.
Hello.
Who are you?
My name is Chynna Taylor, hello.
That's a superstar name.
I'm originally from Texas.
But now being in Australia for about five almost six years...
I have definitely made Australia another home of mine.
When I was 18 years old...
An Aussie came to my land.
And I fell in love.
And my now husband, Jordan.
Brought me back to Australia with him.
I've had some amazing opportunities.
That have happened in my career so far.
I've done backing vocals for Guy Sebastian.
Which is incredible because his voice is insane.
And to kind of match him as a background vocalist.
Pushed me really out of my comfort zone.
I'm coming out of the gates, guns blazing.
You just blew this whole room up.
I am literally speechless, because it was just this...
...power and...
...great intent and passion and...
I just felt like I just met you, just through your voice.
You know what I mean, like...
...it was just incredible.
I love you.
But you know that, because we know each other really well.
Oh, oh okay. - Do you?
Yeah, yeah.
Her voice, she knows it's a gift.
And I tell you this all the time, your voice is insane.
We've worked together before, I know that...
...and there are three other great coaches here.
So try something new.
I think I'm the most scared to go with Guy.
Because it seems like such the obvious choice.
But for me it's not.
It's actually pretty scary...
...because we have history, but...
Guy, I'd be honored to be on your team.
I thought that was gonna go the other way.
Oh my gosh!
I was trying to convince myself to not pick you.
For my next group, I put Chynna...
...Connor and Akina together.
This is kinda scary.
Coaching my friend, kind of sucks.
To be honest.
Because right now, as the coach...
I am in control of what happens to her near future.
So the Madonna song I've given you is...
'Papa Don't Preach'.
It's a big one - It's a huge one.
When you read through it and you read these lyrics...
It's about not being that little girl.
Who's dictated to...
...by what people say or what people do.
Or the pressures that they place on you.
You know, this is 'I'm keeping my baby'.
But you're basically saying...
Your baby is your gift.
Your baby is your career.
And you're not gonna be dictated to by anyone.
So papa don't preach, I'm doing my thing.
It's a really good speech.
That was good actually. - That was really good.
I thought it was good too. - It was excellent.
I feel really encouraged and...
But you know what I'm saying? - Yeah no, no.
That's your thing, this is like...
That's what you gotta grab hold of. - Okay.
For me this is gonna be particularly hard, because...
If Chynna really doesn't shine...
I have to let her go.
Chynna, you delivered a really, really good vocal, one.
And I was actually...
I was looking forward to hearing you sing.
Because I remember your voice distinctly.
I feel like, I got it wrong for you, Chynna.
I feel like you couldn't really have done more with that song.
You know?
There wasn't these moments where maybe I'll let you really explode.
And show what you're capable of.
I know what you're capable of, 'cause...
You're my friend, I've known you for a long time.
I know how you can sing.
I know that there's this insane voice there.
I feel like there's somebody in this group...
...that can do something extremely special.
And something that can make people's mouths...
...drop to the floor.
For me right now...
...the person that I'm going to take through...
...is Chynna.
Chynna, you've done it. You're going through.
To the battle rounds.
Hello legends!
It's always hard to compete against...
...somebody that you actually like.
I think both of you have...
...similar challenges.
The main one being identity.
And that is, like, who are you?
Kim and Chynna, they can sing anything.
But as a coach I've got to show...
...what sort of artist they're gonna be.
Not just two great singers that can sing any song.
That was everything and more.
Congratulations for having such control over your voices.
To the highest nose, to the lowest notes.
That's how you do a battle.
Okay so...
I just felt like somebody...
Grabbed the bull by the horns just a little bit more.
That person was Chynna.
How are you finding everything?
I have loved this experience.
It's been really great to be part of it.
Because like...
In my personal life it's kind of been a bit...
...like kind of all over the place, a bit hectic.
After the blind auditions.
My dad had a really bad stroke.
I pulled out my computer and I wanted to book a flight...
...and go home immediately.
And that was really hard.
Hello Ray and Jessica.
Oh, dad!
When I found out about...
...what Chynna has been going through...
...these last few weeks.
I really wanted to organize something special for her.
Hi daddy, hi mommy!
Oh my god, we're so excited. Ray, show her the sign.
Oh, wow.
I wouldn't be the singer I am today.
Or the person that I am if it wasn't for them.
We're just so proud, just keep on...
Daddy, I'm gonna sing this song...
I'm gonna sing this song for you.
I felt like I was on the ride with you.
I felt so connected to you.
You know what I mean?
'Cause I knew you were about to break at any moment.
You really stay committed, Chynna.
I am rooting for you.
You better not make the wrong decision on this one.
Wanna have you perform this week, confidence...
...plus the star that Chynna is.
I think maybe the last couple of weeks haven't really highlighted...
...just how incredible her voice is.
To me this is our last chance.
I think we have to see another side of Chynna...
...or she may be in trouble.
Semi-finals! - I know!
You're here, we've made it.
I can't believe it. - Yeah, yeah. I can.
I think now is the time for her to...
...start writing her own story.
Now it's about upping the ante.
And I kind of want you to lead the way a little bit...
...with that.
So I'd love you to choose the next song.
What?
Okay...
That's nerve-racking, because then it's my fault...
...if the song isn't it.
Exactly.
This needs to represent...
...who you are as an artist and...
...who you think moving forward...
...people are gonna get.
I would have to say...
My roots are definitely country.
It's the music that I grew up with.
So choose a country song.
I know.
One of my favorite songs is Jolene.
From Dolly Parton. - From Dolly Parton, cool.
I like it, because it's gonna show a different side too.
I will now announce the first artist...
...who did not receive enough votes...
...to go through to the grand finale.
So the first artist to be leaving the competition...
...is...
...it's Chynna.
