TEAM Ricky stormed into favouritism in the first of The Voice's live finals, with his "killer sauce" singers turning up the heat on the competition.

In the surprise package of the evening, Jackson Thomas won his coach Ricky Martin's fast pass to the next round — saved from the public vote, which opened for the first time this season.

Thomas turned summer's pop rock anthem This Is What It Feels Like into an achingly emotional ballad which tamed rival coach on The Voice Kylie Minogue and wowed Joel Madden and will.i.am.

The quiet achiever overcame the power and passion of C Major, Sabrina Batshon and Elly Oh who all delivered stand-out performances in a somewhat patchy episode.

Coldplay, especially the smiling dial of front man Chris Martin, set an electric tone opening the show.

It's clear the contestants were also star struck when they met him backstage.

Martin's opening was followed by performances from Team Will's Anja Nissen, Mat Verevis, ZK and Gabriel and Cecelia.

Their Black Eyed Peas coach responded with mixed feelings, praising their collective efforts but admitting they were "rocky" and "tense" in parts.

His decision to save sibling duo Gabriel and Cecelia divided social media, but won support from Madden and Minogue.

The pop princess, who hosted her team over dinner at Mr Chow's, her favourite restaurant in London, also drew solid performances from her foursome: with charismatic drummer Johnny Rollins rewarded with her save.

Others watching the show also backed Rollins and his talent.

Team Joel's resident rocker Frank Lakoudis was back at his ball-tearing best, raising the roof with the Kiss classic, I Was Made For Lovin' You and winning his way to the next live final.

There was also a lot of love in the Twittersphere for Lakoudis, but some questioned his choice to wear a cape as part of his wardrobe choice.

Amping up the vamp action, a black lace and thigh-high boot-wearing Holly Tapp showed little of the hippie cowgirl who charmed in the blind auditions, singing Bang Bang.

Isaac McGovern and Taila Gouge both showed more of their potential, with 17-year-old Gouge fierce and feminine with her take on Pink's Who Knew.

At the marathon episode's end, iTunes voting showed who the viewer favourites are, with Team Will's ZK leading the early chart race (climbing to no. 38); followed by Team Kylie's Kat Jade (no. 44); and Robbie Balmer (no. 48).
