Etienne Steven took to the stage of The Voice Australia with confidence, but no one expected how fresh and fun her cover of Jason Derulo’s “Savage Love” would be. At just 19 years old, she took a song everyone knows and gave it a new lease on life: smooth vocals, playful energy, and a style that felt completely hers.
It didn’t take long for the coaches to notice. One by one, the chairs turned until all four were facing her, smiling and letting themselves go to the beat. That moment showcased not only her voice, but also her star quality—that presence that makes you want to keep watching.
Fans quickly took notice, too, with her audition spreading online and receiving praise for the way she reimagined such a familiar song. Etienne didn’t just sing the song—she made it her own, making it one of the standout moments of the 2023 season.
