Wednesday TV Ratings: “I’m Not Crying You Are!” – Audiences Moved To Tears By Young The Voice Singer
It was an emotional episode of The Voice last night as 25-year-old Charlie Pittman performed “How Do I Say Goodbye,” in honour of his late father who encouraged him to follow his dreams of becoming a singer.
The remaining coaches were so moved by the performance they turned around for the singer. After coaches Guy and Jess offered the young star a place in their team, he eventually chose Team Guy – taking the last available spot.
Pittman was a hit on socials with one viewer saying “I’m not crying you are” and another commenting “Dad was definitely there with you!”
The Voice was once again the most-watched entertainment show on Seven with 589,000 metro viewers watching.
