The Voice Australia: Queensland's Luke Kennedy makes final eight contestants ANOTHER ROUND: Queensland's Luke Kennedy will be hoping his luck holds on The Voice. LUKE Kennedy has survived another elimination and is into the final eight contestants on The Voice. Despite his rendition of George Michael's Freedom being his lowest performing song since starting on the show it was still popular enough to see him the highest-voted contestant on Ricky Martin's team. The only remaining Queensland contestant was joined by Miss Murphy as the final two contestants on Team Ricky who now battle it out for a position in the finals. Kennedy will be hoping his version of Stevie Wonder's RnB classic Overjoyed will strike a chord with the audience, who now must download his single or vote for him via text and phone calls to keep him in the competition. His performance on the show was praised by the coaches, particularly Joel Madden. "You do big moments in songs that make me feel like I am standing on a mountain with a sword," he said. Viewers have until 6pm next Monday to cast their votes and put Kennedy through to the finals.
