When Guy Sebastian didn’t remember X Factor singer…
The Voice singer was a grand finalist in 2012 X Factor ....judged by Guy Sebastian.

Either Guy Sebastian didn’t recall talent he’s engaged with, or he chose not to declare it, or producers edited the moment out…
Last night when Jay Sierra turned chairs on The Voice some viewers took to social media to question why coach Guy Sebastian didn’t mention that he knew the talented performer from The X Factor in 2012.
Sierra was part of boyband The Collective who finished third on the series, mentored by Ronan Keating.
Sebastian was also a judge on the same season, seeing The Collective perform week after week.
Last night there was no mention of their history, either not declared or ending up on the cutting room floor.
There’s no rule against previous talent show artists, or professionals, competing -both has happened a number of times. But it would have made better sense to include the link between the two to avoid the social media shade and news stories.
Keith Urban blocked Sebastian from choosing the act, eventually becoming the chosen coach.
Seven has been contacted for comment.

Guy was “blocked” halfway through his pitch, so he just stopped talking.
I missed the episode, but from the clip in the link, it looks like Jess recognised him (The Collective were her support act on tour many years ago). Did she go on to say that she knew him?
No.
This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve noticed it happen a lot when contestants have appeared on other talent shows. I figure they just don’t want to give attention to a show on a rival network.
Well in this case The X Factor was on channel 7 when Jay Sierra was on it, and now The Voice is there too.
