REDLAND City music lovers had their fingers crossed on Sunday night for blonde bombshell Peta Evans-Taylor who sang up a storm on The Voice.
Evans-Taylor, a member of the Madden Brothers team, is well-known in music circles in Redlands and Logan after joining forces in 1999 for a duet with Karen Williams before she was mayor of Redland City.
Together the pair won the Queensland Champion of Champions contest that year.
Cr Williams took to Twitter on Sunday night to wish her country music and yodelling partner well.
“Vote Peta Evans Taylor 2nite #TheVoiceAU my old country music/yodelling duet partner/ QLD Champ of Champ winners1999.”
Her performance of Melissa Etheridge’s Give Me Some Water went down well with the audience.
But although she wowed the crowd, the Madden Brothers did not throw her a lifeline, choosing instead to “save” 24-year-old Joe Moore from New South Wales.
Evans-Taylor, who now calls Victoria home, cites Dolly Parton and Alice Cooper as her heroes and loves to cross between country, rock and “everything in between”.
The 28-year-old hairdressing apprentice is busy with regular gigs in her band and shaved her head in honour of her sister who won the battle against a brain tumour.
Redland City already has one Voice winner - Alexa Curtis from Cleveland, who won last year’s The Voice Kids contest in Team Delta.
The next round of The Voice is on Channel 9 at 7pm on Sunday.
