Winner:Bella Taylor Smith
Runner Up:Arlo Sim, G-Nat!on and Mick Harrington
Winner Coach:Guy Sebastian
Network:Seven Network

The tenth season of The Voice began airing on 8 August 2021.[1] Due to the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, Fox Studios has been designated to Disney and Marvel productions, resulting in ITV Studios Australia becoming the new home for The Voice.[2] In August 2020, it was announced Seven Network had picked up the series for its tenth season, set to broadcast in 2021, with Sonia Kruger returning as host.[3] [4] In December of the same year, Seven announced that Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora, and Keith Urban were the coaches, replacing Boy George, Delta Goodrem and Kelly Rowland.[5]

The grand finale was prerecorded in April 2021, with four different endings being taped. The show was broadcast on 12 September 2021 with the winner, Bella Taylor Smith, being decided by a viewer poll. Smith’s victory marked Guy Sebastian’s first win as a coach. For the first time, an artist that had a coach blocked in his/her blind auditions (Guy Sebastian blocking Jessica Mauboy) went on to win an entire Australian season.[6]

Coaches and Host

On 15 December 2020, Seven announced Guy Sebastian would continue as a coach; Jessica Mauboy and Rita Ora were named as new coaches, replacing Kelly Rowland and Delta Goodrem; and Keith Urban, having last been a coach in the first season, returned to the coaching panel, replacing Boy George. Sonia Kruger, who left as host following the conclusion of the eighth season, returned as host following the exit of Darren McMullen and Renee Bargh.[7]

Blind auditions

In the blind auditions this season the coaches complete their teams without a specific number of members. Also, each coach can block another two times; however, the coach who is blocked is unable to pitch for the artist.

The Cut

In the Cut (filmed in the day after the blind auditions), each artist must immediately face their coach to prove their star power. The coaches divide their teams in groups of a specific theme and the contestants battle it out singing the same song. Each coach can only take five artists through to the Knockouts.

Knockouts

In the knockouts, each artist must perform to their coach. After each act performs, the coaches have three options: to either send the artist straight to the semi-final, send the artist home, or make a decision at the end of the show when all artists have performed. Each coach can only take two artists through to the semis.[8]
