Here’s a deep dive into the semi-finalists, their journeys so far, and what makes each team a contender.
Team Melanie C: Soulful Versatility and Comeback Stories
Spice Girls icon Melanie C has nurtured a duo blending raw emotion with pop flair. Her squad advanced through grueling knockouts and showdowns, showcasing resilience that echoes Mel’s own career longevity.
- Cassie Henderson, 26, Christchurch, New Zealand The first contestant to turn all four chairs in the blind auditions, Cassie’s sultry take on a classic had coaches scrambling. A veteran of New Zealand’s X Factor (where she finished fifth in season one), she’s channeled past competition nerves into powerhouse performances like “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane in the knockouts. Her Kiwi twang and heartfelt delivery make her a fan favorite, proving experience can be an edge in this high-stakes game.
- Euan Hart, 25, Sydney, NSW Originally turning heads on Team Kate with his energetic vibe, Euan was saved by Melanie C in a dramatic twist, joining her roster mid-Battles. The 25-year-old Sydneysider electrified the knockouts with a charged rendition of The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” securing his semi-final spot in a four-way face-off. With his boy-next-door charm and genre-hopping skills, Euan’s got the charisma to rally votes.
Team Melanie C’s blend of maturity and youth positions them as dark horses—watch for Cassie’s storytelling to shine in the semis.
Team Richard Marx: Timeless Power and Underdog Grit
Rock legend Richard Marx, making his coaching debut, has assembled a team of soul-stirring belters who thrive under pressure. Their advancement came via intense showdowns, highlighting Marx’s eye for raw potential.
- Bella Parnell, 21, Sydney, NSW This young gun started on Team Kate before a steal landed her with Richard, where she’s flourished. Bella’s knockout performance of Nina Simone’s “I Put a Spell on You” was a smoky standout, earning her a showdown win and semi-final berth. At 21, her bluesy depth belies her age, drawing comparisons to a young Adele with her commanding stage presence.
- Joseph Vuicakau, 35, Western Sydney, NSW A late bloomer from the heart of Sydney’s west, Joseph joined Team Richard straight out of blinds and hasn’t looked back. His soulful knockout cover of Al Green’s “Stay Together” sealed his fate in the showdown, outshining competitors like Chris Cobb and Rose Carleo. With 35 years of life experience fueling his gravelly tones, Joseph’s the veteran voice Team Marx needs for an emotional edge.
Richard’s team screams authenticity—expect ballads that could melt hearts and sway public votes.
Team Ronan Keating: Pop Polish and Idol Echoes
Boyzone’s Ronan Keating, returning after a nine-year hiatus, has curated a polished pair with crossover appeal. Their path included steals and saves, underscoring Ronan’s knack for spotting stars.
- Cle Morgan, 44, (Location not specified) No stranger to the spotlight, Cle (formerly Cle Wootton) reached the Top 10 on Australian Idol’s inaugural season. Now 44 and wiser, her blind audition turned three chairs, landing her on Team Ronan. Cle’s versatile pop-soul style has carried her through battles and knockouts, making her a semi-final lock with seasoned poise. She’s the team’s anchor, blending nostalgia with fresh fire.
- Ellaphon Ta, 27, Auckland, NZ Bringing trans-Tasman flavor, Ellaphon turned heads in blinds and powered through Ronan’s rigorous rounds. The 27-year-old Auckland native’s unique timbre and stage energy shone in the showdown, edging out rivals like Milly Monk and Mitchell Dormer. With her Kiwi roots and pop edge, Ellaphon’s got the X-factor to surprise.
Ronan’s duo mixes Idol grit with modern pop—perfect for radio-ready anthems in the semis.
Team Kate Miller-Heidke: Theatrical Flair and Surprise Gems
The only returning coach, Kate Miller-Heidke, has a theatrical twosome that’s overcome steals and emotional showdowns to reach this stage. Her team’s journey has been the season’s most dramatic.
- Alyssa Delpopolo, 19, Sydney, NSW One of the show’s feel-good stories, 19-year-old Alyssa was pulled from the audience by Kate for an impromptu audition on “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims, turning all chairs and initially joining Team Ronan before a steal-back kept her in the fold. The Sydney teen’s bubbly energy and vocal range advanced her through the October 12 showdown, eliminating Charlie O’Derry and James Van Cooper. Youthful and fearless, she’s Kate’s wildcard.
- Sienna Langenheim, 19, Sydney, NSW Fellow 19-year-old Sydneysider Sienna joined Team Kate in blinds and has been a consistent force.
