When Ella Monnery returned to The Voice after COVID travel restrictions forced her out of the reality TV show last year, there was not a dry eye in the house when she performed Jess’s hit song ‘Little Things’.
Ella’s heartfelt performance touched all the coaches, Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora, and Keith Urban, but no one more so than Jess herself.
Following the performance, Jess went on to share the meaning behind the deeply personal lyrics, which was why she was overcome with emotion.
