Somer Smith, a 19-year-old singer, was both excited and scared when she learned she had been chosen to compete in The Voice: Australia blind auditions. She had previously only performed in front of her family. She was about to perform on national television in front of famous judges Delta Goodrem, Joe Jonas, Kelly Rowland, and Boy George.
Despite her dread, Somer is determined to overcome her fears and pursue her passion. All she wants to do in her pre-audition interview is turn one of the judges’ chairs. She chose an old Gospel song composed in 1905 for her audition, “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”
Somer steps onto the stage, apparently anxious. The judges can sense her nervousness as she takes a few seconds to calm herself down. Even though she begins timidly, Somer’s voice quickly grows louder and more assured.
