Bella Paige impresses judges on The Voice Australia
Bella Paige gave an outstanding performance in the blind auditions phase of the The Voice Australia 2018. All four judges, Delta Goodrem, Kelly Rowland, Joe Jonas and Boy George turned their seats in admiration of her fine interpretation of the song Praying by Kesha.
Bella will be mentored by Kelly Rowland (international singer and songwriter and former member of Destiny’s Child). With Bella’s powerful vocals and stage presence she has a good change to make further big impressions on this journey.
Bella represented Australia at the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with the song My Girls and she went all the way to the final of The Voice Kids in Australia in 2014.
