As soon as Elsa Marilyn began singing Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” for her blind audition on “The Voice Australia,” all four coaches were captivated. Starting out soft and building up to a powerful chorus, the 17-year-old demonstrated incredible control over her voice as well as an impressive range. It wasn’t long before Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy, and Jason Derulo staked their claim on the singer by pressing their buttons. Guy Sebastian wasn’t far behind his colleagues, eventually throwing his hat into the ring, as well.

“That for me was a perfect audition,” said Ora, according to TV Blackbox. “There was not one flaw.”
