Kelly brushed off Delta’s question, insisting: ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’.
Speaking to artist Stellar, the Destiny’s Child star explained: ‘You sang that song beautifully. It’s very rare that you meet artists that come and just don’t mind opening [their hearts]. I needed that, so I really appreciate you being so open.’
Stellar revealed her ‘pain’ behind the song choice and said it’s dedicated to love.

The contestant said: ‘I’m going through a transitional phase of thinking that you’ve got what you’ve got for the rest of your life, and that might not be the case.
‘I’m really struggling with that so much, because I want it so much. And I love love, and I’m not very good at letting love go. Whether it’s good for me or not. So anytime that I sing anything to do with love, I want to chase it and embrace it.
‘I don’t want to remember it, I want it to be in my present every single day and that’s really confronting for me and those lyrics really hit home.’

The 36-year-old revealed before her audition that she was forced to start her own cleaning business in Victoria after years failing to make it as a singer.
‘I have shed so many tears on almost making it,’ she said.
‘I started gigging 20 years ago. I’ve been in lots of bands and done lots of solo stuff, but never reached my full potential. It’s heartbreaking… I just can’t give up.’
The Voice continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
