Why Kelly Rowland stormed off after clash with Guy Sebastian

Is this The Voice’s most bitter fight yet? - by Erin Doyle
  • 21 Jun 2020

The Voice coaches have never been personalities to shy away from a heated moment.

But on Sunday night’s episode, an argument between Guy Sebastian and Kelly Rowland escalated to the point where the pair could no longer bear to be on stage with one another.

Tensions reached boiling point in the Battles round after Team Guy’s Bukhu and Johnny Manuel went head to head as they fought to remain in the competition.

After their performance, Delta Goodrem accused Guy of picking a song that was unfair for Mongolian throat singer Bukhu, as it let Johnny shine while in her opinion, Bukhu seemed like a “back up” musician.

But when Kelly stepped in with her opinion, agreeing that Guy’s actions were unfair, that’s when things really kicked off.

Kelly slammed Guy’s song choice, telling him “Johnny just can’t relish in this incredible moment” because “you took that away from him”.

Guy was not happy, and hit back against Kelly and Delta for “moaning” about the situation.

“You’re crapping on a moment,”  he fumed. “I think you’re trying to pick fights.”

Kelly Rowland

Losing her cool, the Destiny's Child singer stormed off stage.

Channel Nine

As the coaches continued to bicker, the Destiny’s Child singer had had enough and stormed off stage.

“I’m not going back and forth with you Guy, I’m not doing it. I’m not doing that. That ain’t even working,” she raged as Guy continued to fight his case.

The ARIA award winner was less than impressed by Kelly’s departure and didn’t hold back with his feelings about it as a shocked audience watched on.

Artists Buhku (left) and Johnny Manuel were forced to watch on awkwardly as the coaches clashed.

“So a walk off does heaps!” he yelled at her as she made her way backstage. “What’s a walk off gonna do? It’s so disrespectful!”

A livid Kelly disagreed and screamed at him from off-stage: “No you’re disrespectful. You’re disrespectful!”

Meanwhile, artists Bukhu and Johnny were left to linger on-stage alongside host Darren McMullen, with the episode ending on a cliff-hanger and something tells us that things are set to get even more explosive before Guy makes his final pick.

Following the episode, Guy took to Twitter to further explain his reasoning and apologise for the outburst.

"There is a lot that people don’t see on this show including mentoring and follow up phone calls with the artists. I am disappointed that I didn’t just cop it on the chin and bring focus back to the artists," he wrote.

"It was a challenge having someone like Bukhu and I admit that it seemed vocally unbalanced. I wanted them both 2 shine & thought that showcasing Bukhu’s musicianship was the way 2 do it. He is exceptional and I’m sad that this went down the way it did due to my choice. It’s something that cuts me & I didn’t handle it well"

The Voice continues Monday 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
