That\u2019s exactly what happened when 23-year-old Abbey Green stepped onto <em>The Voice Australia<\/em> stage. She chose to sing <em>\u201cHow to Be Lonely\u201d<\/em> \u2014 a track by Rita Ora, who was sitting just meters away, completely unaware of what was coming. It was a bold move, and it made the moment even more intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She sang \u201cHow to Be Lonely\u201d by Rita Ora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a risky move. Performing a coach\u2019s own song means you\u2019re being directly compared to the original, and that\u2019s not easy. Even Abbey admitted backstage that her nerves could get in the way. But she also said what mattered most: \u201cI just want people to hear my voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coaches&#8217; reactions said it all \u2014 they were clearly impressed. One by one, they turned their chairs, fully engaged in the performance. And by the end, they stood up, showing real respect for the way she owned such a challenging song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/collage-istori.website-12-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/collage-istori.website-12-2.png 785w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/collage-istori.website-12-2-300x261.png 300w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/collage-istori.website-12-2-768x669.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Moment Everything Changed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as Abbey began singing, Keith Urban turned his chair \u2014 and hit his block. That meant Rita, the original artist of the song, was officially out of the running to have Abbey on her team. It was a big statement: Keith wanted her on his team so much that he used his only block to keep the competition away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not long after, all four coaches had turned their chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Rita was blocked, she was clearly impressed. When the song ended, she told Abbey, \u201cYou sounded unbelievable.\u201d That\u2019s not something you hear every day \u2014 especially from the artist who made the song famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abbey chose Team Keith and moved on to the Battle rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Abbey Green?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of her audition, Abbey was 23 and from Victoria, Australia. She wasn\u2019t already famous, but she\u2019d been posting covers online and slowly building an audience. Singing was something she\u2019d always loved, but this audition gave her the chance to take it to a bigger stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s also someone who enjoys a quieter life outside of music \u2014 she has a strong connection with animals and often shares photos of herself riding horses. It\u2019s clear that she values balance, even as she pursues music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happened After The Voice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abbey didn\u2019t win the show, but that one audition opened doors. People still search for her performance online, and it\u2019s gathered thousands of views and comments. For many, it was one of the most memorable auditions of the season \u2014 not because of flashy tricks, but because of how real it felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She showed confidence without arrogance, emotion without overdoing it. It was the kind of performance that felt honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Abbey continues to share music and connect with fans through her social channels. While she may be taking her own path outside of the spotlight, she\u2019s clearly someone to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t seen the audition yet, now\u2019s the time. Watch the full performance \u2014 the link is in the first comment. It\u2019s worth hearing for yourself what one brave song choice can lead to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even years later, this performance continues to resonate. It\u2019s crossed 4 million views on YouTube, and clips from it still go viral across social media. There\u2019s a reason people keep coming back to it \u2014 so let\u2019s take a moment to listen, and understand why it still hits home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1351\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rR4qBmd8Mbw\" title=\"The Blind Auditions: Abbey Green sings How to be Lonely by Rita Ora\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How powerful is it when a coach hears their own song performed by a contestant?
