The Voice' exit interview: Tje Austin

© PA Images / Lewis Jacobs/AP/NBCTje Austin won his place on The Voice with arendition of 'Just The Way You Are' by Bruno Mars during the first blind audition. He ultimately chose to work with Cee Lo Green over fellow interested mentor Adam Levine, but unfortunately his time on the show came to an end on this week's battle round when he was paired with Nakia for a performance of 'Closer' by Ne-Yo. Cee Lo's guest advisor Monica had insisted that a string of singers would die to have Tje's melodic voice, but the 'Forget You' star eventually chose to send him home.
Here's what he told reporters about the experience:
On going out at this stage of the competition:
"I think getting eliminated from the battle round is probably the hardest round to get eliminated from because we made it through the blind audition and America knows who we are - finally! - so, for me, now it would be great to be eliminated by America's choice when they are picking me out of 16 people. It's hard to get eliminated when I'm just up against one guy and I haven't made it to the live rounds. It's very frustrating to get eliminated even if it's a great singer or if someone had a lucky night, it's just hard getting eliminated in the battle round. I feel while Nakia is a great guy and a great artist, I would love to know what America would have thought. For me, that was the hardest part."
On whether he had a strategy for the performance:
"My whole goal was to get up on stage and do me; sing a great song. I think we had a great duet and I think I succeeded. I had a lot of people in my corner and I did impress the judges but they were definitely intrigued by [Nakia's] delivery."
On being a solo artist and having to perform a duet:
"I enjoy singing with somebody else. I love being a solo artist, but I love harmony; that's my big thing. I love blending voices and my whole goal singing with Nakia was to try to make the best performance possible, which I really do think we did. I enjoyed singing with him - I thought it was great - and I'd love to do more with him in the future because I think we have really good chemistry and he's my friend. The fact we were friends and singing such a great song together was uplifting."
On the most important lesson he learned:
"To be myself, that's how I got on the show. They liked me because of how I sang. I learned a lot from all the other artists. I like seeing where we all are in our careers. It was very inspiring. What I've taken from the show is how great we all were, where I want to be in five years, what type of career I want to have. I'm just glad I made so many great friendships. Everybody is so awesome. This is the best experience I've had in my life."
On what surprised him the most about the judges:
"I was so excited to be on Cee Lo's team. It's amazing to be given the opportunity to work with someone of such amazing caliber. I was constantly in awe. He's such a great artist and great writer. I just wanted to take something away from that. It really helped motivate me to be in the music industry and make my own mark and ask what type of career do I want to have. It was great when he said he could see pieces of him in me. And to meet Monica… she's beautiful, man! Nobody else can say that they've had this experience that we've had to be around these artists. It was just very inspiring and it just pushes me to do so much."
On who he is rooting for now:
"I love everybody but I am rooting for - and this is a list, if that's okay - Frenchie [Davis], Javier [Colon] - I'm such a big fan of his; I went fanboy a couple of times after I met him - Sara Oromchi, she has such a great voice, Lily [Elise] has a great voice, Casey Desmond is awesome. It's such a hard question. Everybody is so great, and with the four of us [who got eliminated this week], I feel we'll be doing some great things in the future and we're all awesome so I'm still rooting for us!"

Green is joined on the show's judging panel by popstar Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and country singer Blake Shelton, and said that he doesn't expect that to change.
"That would be the safe assumption, I haven't heard anything other than that," Green toldBillboard, when asked whether all four judges would be back. "I'll be there, that's for sure.
"We've already been secured for a second season, so prepare to see a lot more of myself, Christina, Blake and Adam, and a host of great artists doing their thing."
Green also responded to comments made by American Idol judge Randy Jackson earlier this month in which he described The Voice as 'gimmicky'.
"I believe that's a little harsh to say that that's 'gimmicky'," Green said. "I don't believe we're competing; I believe there is a co-existence."
The Voice continues next Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC.

More on the Show the Voice
'The Voice' to get expanded live episodes

The new NBC vocal competition featuring Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green as celebrity mentors premiered last month.
It began airing its one-hour "battle round" episodes this week, in which each mentor pits two of their own contestants against each other before deciding who will go home and who will advance in the competition.
The network has now announced that it will offer expanded two-hour live episodes from June 7 from 9pm to 11pm ET because of the strong ratings the show has achieved. Those episodes will follow new episodes of America's Got Talent.
That show will retain its Tuesday, May 31 premiere date, but will now run from 8pm to 10pm ET. It will then air each Tuesday from 8pm to 9pm ET beginning June 7, while the Wednesday shows will begin June 1 and run from 9pm to 10pm ET. The live shows begin Tuesday, July 5 from 9pm to 11pm ET, with the results being announced the following night between 9pm and 10pm ET.
The Voice continues its live "battle rounds" on Tuesdays at 10pm ET from now until May 31. The two-hour episodes will air Tuesdays at 9pm ET from June 7 until June 28.
The New Show Voice
'The Voice' exit interview: Niki Dawson

The Voice contestant Niki Dawson has said that she was happy with her final performance on the show.
The 19-year-old from Florida performed 'Perfect' by Pink for her battle round performance on Tuesday, which saw her eliminated from the competition over teammate Vicci Martinez.
"The song was pretty close to perfect for me," she told reporters on a conference call. "I was used to singing the lower parts but I took the high parts [and Vicci took the low parts] even though it wasn't my thing.
"I was impressed with myself because I didn't think I could hold the high note that long. It was intense for me. I worked with myself and pushed myself to another level and I'm really thankful Cee Lo saw that in me."
The teenager was sent home after her mentor Cee Lo Green - who was advised by Monica in rehearsals - chose to advance Martinez to the next round, but said she had no regrets about choosing the musician as her coach.
"I'm pretty happy with my choice," she said, when quizzed about who else she would have liked to work with. 'Maybe Adam [Levine] but I think I've gotten so at home with the feeling of working with Monica and Cee Lo.
"Monica said that she was impressed by the uniqueness in my voice which was really weird because I thought I sounded pretty plain and didn't think I had a unique sound in my voice at all… Even if I didn't make it through, I would still want to be on that team."
Discussing what she learned about herself from the experience, she told reporters that she now understood the nature of the TV and music industries, and the desire to push herself to the best of her abilities to succeed.
As for her future plans, the teenager - who is backing current contestant Javier Colon on the show - said that she has nothing set in stone yet but is hoping to return to Florida and start building her fanbase.
"I'm not like Tarralyn or Frenchie or someone who has a big old community," she said. "I'm just starting, like a little ant. I'm going to try to grow a little bit and reach out and find myself. Hopefully something good will come out of that."
She also admitted that she'd love to realize her dream of appearing on the Disney Channel in some capacity. "I love the channel to death and I've always wanted to do something for them," she said. "I don't care if it's a tiny little part. I want to be on Disney Channel so bad!"
In the meantime, she told reporters that the most memorable thing she will take away from The Voice is knowing that Cee Lo saw something special in her as a performer.
Let me know what you guys think keep watching the show on Tuesdays at 10 channel 7 nbc eastern time
