Woman Earns 4-Chair Turn With Unique Cover of ’80s Hit ‘Down Under’

Everybody loves a good chair turn on The Voice Global. Check out as this woman earns a 4-chair turn with her unique cover of ’80s hit ‘Down Under.’

At the start of this song, Keith quickly laughs, smiling in awe that this young woman has taken the opportunity to rearrange a classic 80s song. She has turned “Down Under” into a ballad. The original song was released in October 1981 by the band Men at Work.

This young woman’s name is Drew Walker, and she is only 22 years old. She takes on unexpected belts, powerhouse moments, and sweet soft authenticity. At the end of her song, the judges and the audience cheer so loudly and are thrilled. 

Keith Urban stands in ovation. She shares about how she is from Ichuka in Victoria. The judges make jokes that she must not be the best help on the farm where her family lives.

She says that she is doing the fun stuff at the farm alongside her musical gigs and songwriting. The judges thank her for sharing the emotion of the song. They highlight her layers and vulnerability. 

They tell her that she took a risk and it paid off. After wowing the judges and the crowd, Drew selects her coach. This farm girl is now living her musical dream.

Australians adore this song. It is an anthem to their nation. The chorus says:

Oh, do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, 'cause we are

There is a pride and joy in being a part of a nation and something bigger than yourself. The Bible tells us that we are ambassadors of heaven. All who believe in Jesus are part of His kingdom, and we can celebrate that always.

“So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 1 Corinthians 5:20
