BETH Anderson had already lost so much, after the death of her brother Kristian — an inspirational cancer campaigner who lost his battle with the disease two years ago.

But without her "counterpart" and role model, the 31-year-old found no joy in the musical passion they once shared.

He'd been there to produce her first album, In The Fall (available on iTunes), featuring a song Everything Fades Away which he would find comfort in during the final days of his life.

The music had died with him, but braving the blind audition stage on The Voice was reward enough for Anderson who sang again for the first time since his death.

It was a moving moment on TV.

Even without a single chair turn, the Melbourne-based singer said "something was unlocked" inside her during the performance — reawakening her musical dreams.

Still struggling to reconcile her beloved brother's painful passing, she told News Corp Australia: "I had this moment when I was progressing to the blind audition where I thought, in a really weird way, this makes sense ... he had to go through that so I could get here and whatever comes of the audition doesn't matter because that moment exists because of what he went through."

She said: "it would be so wrong not to tell his story and it's so intertwined I would be robbing him of the gift he gave me."

Her audition song choice, Foo Fighters Times Like These, had special meaning for the young singer, who married her partner of seven years Stuart Walker last year.

"It's just a really great reminder that no matter how awful you feel and no matter how life seems to be going in a particular way, it's in those moments you really do learn to be who you are and to be yourself. I felt a connection with that message and wanted to go out there for my first performance back since he died and really just say 'you know what, this is my story and I'm still going to keep going."

Anderson hopes to use her appearance on The Voice to get traction for the album she produced with her brother's help in his dying days.

During the recording of Everything Fades Away, a track played at Kristian's funeral as his body was carried from the church, the siblings shared an emotional bond she will never forget.

"He just happened to be at the studio and I played him the new song. I'll never forget it ... he sat in this chair, in the corner of the studio, absolutely silent for about 30 seconds and believe me, Kristian always had something to say."

Just months into chemotherapy treatment for his advanced bowel cancer, Beth said: "He just sat there with tears in his eyes and said: 'that does something to me that I can't explain ... that's got something special.' When we went into the studio ... I'm getting teary just remembering it ... I sort of broke down because the pressure really hit me hard. I didn't feel like I could sing the song, the emotion I was feeling, do it justice. I felt like I was failing. And I said to him, 'this is really so much more than just a song.' This song means everything to me and I want you to understand that there's so much in it for me and he just said, 'me too.' So I went away and washed my face and we nailed it in the next vocal take. I can still feel a particular moment in the recording ... the look on his face and the things he did to keep me going during those recording sessions. It had suddenly become clear he wasn't going to make it and we weren't going to win the fight and he started making arrangements for his funeral. He just said to me 'yup, this is it, this is the song, my life's work ...," Anderson said, crying. "It was very surreal."

In a heartwarming family postscript, Anderson revealed Kristian's wife Rachel and their sons Cody and Jakob have returned to live in her homeland of New Zealand, where Rachel recently found love again and has remarried.

"Rachel was 100 per cent behind me and supportive. She's extremely happy and that's all we could wish for her," Anderson said.

"She did the long, hard yards with Kristian and she feels (her new husband, who Beth declined to name) is great for her and it's great to see her get a second chance ... everybody wants that for her. The boys are such characters, they always have been, but they're so like Kristian. They are tough little guys, beautiful kids and they get on so well with Rachel's husband and that's important and all we could have hoped for them."

Also on The Voice tonight Kristal West, the granddaughter of the late indigenous land rights activist Eddie Mabo, won a place, with her singing partner Zaachariah Fielding.

Weeping with pride at her "babies" success back stage, Mabo's widow Bonita was overjoyed when the Central Australia duet wowed will.i.am with their soulful harmonies on a cover of Justin Beiber's As Long As You Love Me.

Later, the friends of just five years introduced themselves to their new coach who inquired a
