The Voice SA judge steps in to help contestant with audition
One of the coaches of The Voice SA stepped in to help a contestant from Port Elizabeth with her audition after she forgot the lyrics due to her nerves getting the better of her.
21-year-old Emma Ellis started her rendition of The Plain White Ts's "Hey There Delilah" on a pretty average not, whereafter she forgot her lyrics.
Emma confessed before her audition that her Voice SA dream was for coach Karen Zoid to turn for her and when she did, Emma got such a shock that it literally took her breath - and her lyrics - away.
Lost for words mid-way through her song, Karen joined Emma on stage to assist her in finishing the audition together, and with that, the three other coaches all pressed their buzzers to enjoy the rest of the performance.

Despite the fact that Emma forgot her lyrics, she received four legitimate turns from the coaches with Lira explaining that once Emma picked up from where she left off in the song, she absolutely deserved all of their turns and her spot in the competition.
The 21-year-old, who was visibly nervous, regained her confidence and then bounced back with her insane vocal ability.
