  Speaker 3: it's quite entertaining to us.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: How much that is written is.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Just nonsense, yes, but you know that is the nature
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: of the beast. Yeah, yeah, but you know, to take
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: not to take anything away from the day.

• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It's true that you walk down the aisle to want
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to be This is what I heard.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: No, that is not true.

  Speaker 1: I was just making a joke. Oh that's so beautiful.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it was.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It was a little bit of fun, but it's also
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: obviously beautiful song. Actually, I have some friends a beautiful
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: string quartet that I've worked with in the past, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: they played for us on the day. So yeah, it
• 3:21

• 3:23
  Speaker 3: big part of the celebration, and yeah, there was there

• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So many of my.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Friends and family and Chris's friends and family are huge
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: music lovers, so we satisfied everyone.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I love that, and I also love too that the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: friends and family would have loved the nod to the song,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: because because you have to sort of give them. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: got to give the people what they want, even though
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's your wedding day. You got to give the people
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what they want, right.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And when there's three Spie girls in attendance, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: know you have very.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Respectful Totally, I totally agree. What we love though, most
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: is that now you are forever joined to Australia, not
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: only through the television, but now we you're with your
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful husband, you are back on the voice. What are
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the contestants like this year? How how is our talent pool?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Because Melanie dare I say, there was a period of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: time there before you got here. I thought we could
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: have drained it. I actually thought, no, oh no, I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: think it's closed in my.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Mind, honestly, Like because obviously last year we had such
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: a good season, we had incredible singers, and I was nervous.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I was like, how how can we even get close
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to that? But let me tell you, I'm so excited.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You you know, you're starting to see these incredible artists
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and contestants that we have, but.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: You ain't seen none yet.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's such an exciting and brilliant season.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And of course this year I'm going to win.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, No of course you are. The coaches
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: are always very competitive with the do you off the set,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like obviously there's the singing, and you can coach and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you and I know you would do this on the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: show too, but do you ever give the contestants like
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit of how he is, how the fame
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: game works, like be careful, watch out for this, protect yourself,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: protect your sort of your energy because like, hey, if
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you win this, people are going to you know, want
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of you. And then and then just you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it can become very all encompassing for people who haven't
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: slowly built up the resilience to the fame.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think that is like the most important part
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of being a coach. You know, we we can share
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: our experience of being a performer, being on stage, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: technically about singing, but there's so much more to the show,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: being in the Podcai and absolutely, you know, I want
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to prepare my artists in every possible way because I think,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you know, even for we live in such a different
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: world now, right, so many of the great singers that
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: we see on the show, and I say singers artists,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you know, there's everything this year, and there's such a
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: wide range of performers, and I you know, they already
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: have a profile. You know, we have social media as
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: people building this and it's such a boost to them.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Even people who get to the auditions, you know, even
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: get into the auditions is a huge achievement and that
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: will raise their profile. So it is it's I think
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: it's the responsibility of the coach to impart that knowledge
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that you have of being out there. So yeah, absolutely,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: we feel like quite maternal or paternal boys around our artists.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So we always want to protect them in every way
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that we can.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Now that obviously you're on you're on the voice as well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and we've touched on the on the map. Have you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: fallen in love with Australia? Is there anything you love
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in particular about our country now that you have been
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: spending so much time here?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Well? What our country?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I've I've been so lucky, right because I've toured all
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: over Australia. I've seen so many different parts in you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you guys know you are so lucky because you have
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: all of these beautive places, so different this coastline. You know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: even you are so big that you have like different climates.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I love Australia. I love the people, I love the food,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I love the variety. I've learned so much about Australia,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: especially this season.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You know, there's so many, so many treats for the viewers.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of I get goosebumps kind of thinking about
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: what's to come. And yeah, I feel very blessed that
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I've learned so much more about your country. And now
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I have a huge family that live there, and most
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: of my family are based in Sydney, but I love
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to get far and wide and I love that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I love that. Oh hey, so since the last time
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you were here on the show, you know the band
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: five they have reunited, they're doing they did a tour here,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: right and they came here on the show and they
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: told me an incredible story about Simon cow Okay. Now
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask because I didn't know this, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in the height of the nineties and bands being given songs,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they ended up being offered a song that was originally
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or then ended up going to in sync and it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was Bye Bye Bye. Okay, Oh yeah, that could have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: been a five song. And I wanted to know, in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all of your time as an artist, did you ever
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: write a song or get offered a song that you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: turned down or gave to someone else that ended up
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: being a big hit for them, and it was could
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: have been yours.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: That's actually never happened to me, I think with the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Space Girls because we wrote very specifically for ourselves. Yeah, okay,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: so everything we wrote was very very spacey. And then yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: as a solo artist, yet I've only I have had
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: songs that I've gone on to other artists, not that
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: they've been huge hits, but no, I've never had that experience.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: But I saw five at the weekend I performing Right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And Pride, okay, and I.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Had forgotten how many bangers they've got, the brilliant So
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: good to see them back on stage, and I think
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: better than ever, better than they were like in the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: nineties and nineties.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also too, I didn't realize because I went
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: back into the deep catalog back in the day Top
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of the Pops. What a crazy show that was. Like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: all of you artists had to do like live TV
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: performances like every weekend, and like or then every other
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: weekend whenever in new song came out, you were like
• 9:20

• 9:27
  Speaker 3: an institution being British growing up here. It was that
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: was what you like dreamed about doing. And when one
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: we came out, we were actually in Japan. When it
