The Voice SA contestant that forgot 'Hey There Delilah' lyrics talks to Martin
The moment Emma Ellis forgot her lyrics live on television!
We've all had that moment where we forget our words or simply freeze under pressure, and it can be quiet embarrassing to say the least. And that is exactly what happened to Emma Ellis on the Voice SA.
Emma, 21, started her rendition of The Plain White Ts' "Hey There Delilah" on a pretty average note - and then 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.
To be honest, we've all had that moment where we simply go blank in front of a crowd, even after hours of practice.
