The Voice is back with a bang, and burlesque artist Lou P Scarlett drove the crowd wild with her racy performance on Sunday.

Before stepping on stage, she mentioned that she was taking a ‘big risk’ with her routine - and her performance did not disappoint.

The contestant put on a show for the crowd as she stripped while singing an upbeat rendition of Doja Cat’s Say So.

By the end of the song, she was left in just a red and pink corset with thigh-high, hot pink boots.

Judges Guy Sebastian, Keith Urban, Rita Ora and Jessica Mauboy were confused by the audience’s incredible reaction, but it wasn’t enough to convince anyone to turn a chair.

Rita Ora was wowed by the contestant’s ‘amazing’ outfits, saying that the audience's response suddenly made sense.

“If I was to see you from the get go, I think it would have been a completely different story,” she explained.

The contestant had started off with a frilly, full pink gown, before revealing a full skirt covered in emojis, and finally stripping down to her corset and thigh-high boots.

The burlesque performer explained how her costumes worked, “I started as a cupcake and I ended as a little cupcake – with feelings.”

Jessica Mauboy was in awe of the ‘brave’ performance, and even admitted that she would probably be a burlesque performer if she wasn’t a singer.

Jessica and Rita ended up taking to the stage to try on parts of the stunning outfits for themselves, fawning over the intricate details.

Unfortunately, this was the end of the 30-year-old’s The Voice journey and Keith Urban let her down gently.

“Obviously burlesque is not made for the backs of chairs," he began.

"It’s sad that your voice is just one ingredient in this delectable cupcake dish you’ve got going on, and I wish we could’ve seen it.”

Lou was quick to reply, “Well, you’ll just have to come to a burlesque show, won’t you?”
