Alyssa Delpopolo Wins The Voice Australia After Pre-Recorded Finale with Multiple Outcomes
The 19-year-old Sydney singer learned she was the winner at home, while the grand-finale broadcast was pre-taped with alternate winners.
Alyssa Delpopolo has been crowned the winner of the 2025 season of The Voice Australia, in a finale that was recorded in advance and filmed with different possible outcomes.
The Sydney-based 19-year-old received her victory confirmation while watching the show at home with friends and family, after producers aired the version reflecting the public vote.
The grand-finale broadcast featured Delpopolo performing Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” followed by a duet with her coach Kate Miller-Heidke of Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love Me”.
Sources affiliated with the production explain that several “winning reaction” sequences were filmed at the studio, but only the correct one—matching viewer results—was aired.
The format continues The Voice Australia’s recent practice of pre-recording its finale: although the live broadcast invites the impression of a real-time event, the actual winner and confetti-drop moment are edited in after public vote counts are finalised.
Delpopolo’s social-media clip of her stunned reaction on the couch at home prompted questions from fans, many of whom noted that she appeared both in-studio on-screen and simultaneously at home.
Alongside the revealing of this process, Delpopolo’s win makes television history for the show: the 2025 final was the first all-female grand-final line-up in the series’ 14-season run.
Her victory also marks the first time a “stolen” artist—an act rescued by a coach after elimination—has gone on to win the show.
Upon her announcement, Delpopolo said the outcome “doesn’t feel real at all,” while Miller-Heidke expressed profound pride in her protégé’s journey and the strength displayed by all finalists.
The contestant now receives the A$100,000 prize and a full artist-development package.
The transparency of the pre-recorded finale has renewed conversation about the nature of “live” reality-tv events, but for now viewers and fans are embraced the landmark win of the young vocalist and the historic all-female top board in the show’s evolution.
