Keith Urban formed a special bond with contestant Freddie Bailey on the fourth episode of The Voice Australia.

The 17-year-old sang his idol’s hit single Wild Hearts for his blind audition.

Clearly moved by the talented teenager’s performance, Keith, 54, joined Freddie for a duet and later gave him a special gift – his guitar pick.

‘First of all, lousy song choice,’ Keith joked, after Freddie finished his audition.

‘I don’t know what you were thinking… No, but thank you so much for singing that song.’

Fellow coach Jessica Mauboy, eager for Freddie to join her team, watched on as Keith took to the stage after asking the boy from Tamworth whether he could join him for a duet.

‘How do I compete with that? Seriously!’ she said.

Freddie’s family, including his mother, watched on as her son sang with his hero. 

‘Dream come true, hey?’ she said, as the pair finished their duet to rapturous applause from the studio audience.

The drama continued on The Voice on Tuesday night when Guy Sebastian moved the other coaches to tears when he also performed with a superfan.

After her audition, singer Alisha George explained how the 40-year-old’s music had helped her bond with her disabled brother.

A deeply moved Guy then asked Alisha if he could perform alongside her for her brother, who was standing off stage with their parents.

The Voice Australia continues Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel Seven
