The Semi-Finals

The Semi-Finals was broadcast on 3 July 2016.
At the beginning of the show, the four artists with the most votes were fast tracked to the second half of the show, the four artists with the fewest votes performed to stay in the competition. Only two made it through on an instant app vote mid-show to join the top four artists, giving us the top six. The top six performed their Semi-Final song, followed by another instant app vote, and from there the top four were announced and advanced to The Grand Finale. Coach Delta Goodrem performed her new single "Enough" featuring Gizzle.
  • With the elimination of Andrew Loadsman, The Maddens had no more contestants left on their team, making this the second season in the Australian version of the franchise where a coach did not have a contestant in the grand finale.
