It seems that The Voice Australia can't be stopped in 2021 with the reality singing competition celebrating another huge night in the ratings. 

According to TV Tonight, the show has once again come in as the evening's most watched entertainment program with 1,066,000 viewers, smashing timeslot competitors Australian Survivor (664,000) and The Block (634,000). 

It's proving to be a hit for its new network Seven (moving across from Nine this season) where the show's first year episode has been "the biggest entertainment show launch on the streaming service ever" for the 7plus app. 

After seeing a former P Diddy signee appear on Monday night's show, more familiar faces and established artists have appeared on last night's show as part of the Blind Audition process. 

Included in those is Melbourne artist Tanya George who last year premiered her EP Normality with The Music last year. George shared a performance of The Source's You've Got The Love (popularised by Florence + The Machine's 2009 cover) which saw her get all four judges - Jessica Mauboy, Keith Urban, Rita Ora and Guy Sebastian - vie for her to join their team, with George choosing Ora's team. 

"I really did feel like that was something I have never seen before on The Voice," said Ora of the performance which included vocal looping.

Live theatre performer Cassie McIvor - who has success in both Europe, the US and Japan in various roles, including singing at the 2012 Olympic Games - shared a stellar rendition of Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me Now, seeing all four judges spin their chairs. 

"You have power, you have that ability to transcend any song that you do. To take on Celine Dion, hats off to you," said Ora. 

"Wow that was so mega... you killed that... I want to fight for you," added Mauboy. McIvor chose Urban - the first to spin his chair - as her coach.

The Voice Australia continues on Sunday night on Seven from 7.30pm, airing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday each week.
