Hoppers Crossing teenager Bella Paige is continuing to wow television viewers across the nation as she sings her way through Channel 9’s The Voice.

The 16-year-old said that when she auditioned for the show, she did not expect to make the top 12.

But Bella said she was thrilled to be snapped up to join the team of one of the show’s four mentors – and one of her idols – Kelly Rowland.

“I’ve learned so much from her, it’s been the most amazing experience to be able to work with someone of her calibre,” Bella said.

“She always says, ‘Rehearse until you can’t get it wrong’.”

Bella said she had especially enjoyed singing in the live shows of The Voice.

During Sunday night’s episode, the second live show for the season, she sang the Ariana Grande tune No Tears Left To Cry.

“My family are so happy for me and have supported me for my whole life, especially my mum – I don’t know where I’d be without her,” Bella said.

Bella said that the staff and students of Westbourne Grammar School, where she is studying year 11, had also been “incredible”.

The Voice continues on Sunday, June 3, from 7pm on Channel 9.
