Abbey Green's Blind Audition on is widely considered a high-risk, high-reward moment because she chose to perform "How to Be Lonely" by one of the coaches, Rita Ora . Performance Highlights
: Her performance earned a four-chair turn . Keith Urban was the first to turn and strategically used his "Block" button on Rita Ora to prevent Abbey from joining her team, despite the song being Rita's own.
: Singing a coach's own song is often discouraged as it invites direct comparison, but Abbey—a self-proclaimed superfan—approached it with a stripped-back arrangement that prioritized emotional honesty over imitation.
: Reviewers noted her "quiet power" and steady restraint, allowing the song's vulnerability to breathe rather than relying on vocal gymnastics.
: Before the audition, the 23-year-old Victorian artist admitted to struggling with confidence and feared her nerves might ruin the performance, making the successful outcome a significant milestone in her musical journey. About the Song: "How to Be Lonely"
