‘I’m having an emotional day in general,’ Soma said.
‘It was more emotional just to take the leap of faith to come and do this anyway and be convinced by a producer to come on the show.’
She added that she ‘sacrificed a lot’ to go on The Voice.
‘It’s taken a lot to be here — a lot out of my life, a lot out of my time, and for a short journey it’s taken a lot of sacrifices,’ Soma said.
Soma finished by saying that she will carry on doing music after the show.

On Tuesday’s show, Soma blasted the judges after her mentor, Guy Sebastian, failed to pick her in the playoff round.
Soma, who had performed the Brandy & Monica track The Boy Is Mine, complete with a rap segment, was told by Guy: ‘I feel like I’ve unlocked something that you need to work on but you need time to work on it.’
‘But I just don’t think this particular time in your life on this particular show is right for you right now.’

Appearing shocked and angered, a shaken Soma shot back: ‘OK, well, the thing about that is that I didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place!
‘I was convinced to come here, to be here, to stand here and do this in front of you. And, like, it is disheartening.’
She continued her rant, lashing out at the judges and suggesting that their advice for her was not genuine.
‘Your advice that you guys all give, it’s like, is that genuine? I would just like to know, you know, what you really think. Do I actually have what it takes to be a musician?’ she asked.
Kelly Rowland stepped in to try and calm her down while Guy looked absolutely aghast.
Angry: ‘OK, well, the thing about that is that I didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place!’ Soma said
‘Take a deep breath in, no one’s going to waste their time and just tell you something because it sounds good,’ Kelly said.
But Soma could not be stopped, she went on: ‘I think the disheartening thing about it is that you don’t have enough time to get to know me. You don’t know why I am in my shell.’
Guy responded carefully, telling her: ‘We can only dive in to our artists as much as they let us dive in.
‘If you don’t tell me what stops you from being the artist you need to be, what can I do?’

He added to Soma, who has said she suffered ‘traumatic experiences’ in her past, that she had to be open in order to overcome them.
Guy told her: ‘I think you’ve got something very special but you have to trust and you have to deal with the things that are holding you back.’
The final insult came when Guy failed to pick Soma as his wildcard, picking Matt Gresham instead and eliminating Soma from The Voice altogether.
