Australia has a new Voice, and she’s barely out of high school. Nineteen-year-old Sydneysider Alyssa Delpopolo has taken out The Voice 2025 title on Seven.
Sonia Kruger delivered the big moment; Delpopolo stood frozen, shell-shocked, as the result landed.
“It doesn’t feel real at all,” she said – breathless, wide-eyed, and suddenly $100,000 richer with a full recording development package in tow.
Kate Miller-Heidke, who guided her to the finish line, looked just as stunned. “Australia loves you as much as I do, and I’m so thrilled. We did it!”
A Voice journey that started in the audience
Delpopolo’s win felt like lightning in a bottle, a season-long arc built on instinct and a little serendipity. Her journey began not on stage, but in the crowd.
Singing during a break caught the attention of Coaches and prompted an invitation to the Blind Auditions from both Miller-Heidke and Ronan Keating.
She first chose Team Ronan, then later switched to Team Kate after the Battles round – a savvy move that paid off.
Her finale performance of Celine Dion’s It’s All Coming Back To Me Now drew a standing ovation from all four Coaches.
Judge Richard Marx didn’t hedge: “That was stunning. I think even Celine would sit here and go, wow! That was incredible.”
Miller-Heidke added, “To see you in all of your glory. Standing there in all of your power. It’s transcendent.”
Duets, and emotion
Finale night delivered all the trimmings, including an emotional duet between Delpopolo and Miller-Heidke on Selena Gomez’s Lose You To Love Me – soft, angelic, tightly controlled.
Fellow finalists Bella Parnell, Cassie Henderson and Cle Morgan also closed strong, a reminder why this all-female final four landed as one of the season’s most-talked-about moments.
The industry-watchers in the wings will now shift to the next phase: can Seven convert talent momentum into chart traction and streaming heat?
It’s one thing to win The Voice; it’s another to move units in a cluttered music market. But Delpopolo arrives with vocal power, narrative punch, and a ready-made fan base.
It’s a compelling combo in a streaming-first world.
