We're halfway through the Let It Shine auditions.

0:00:020:00:04

Oh, wow.

0:00:040:00:06

And so far we've seen some fantastic singers...

0:00:060:00:08

# Just go ahead, let your hair down... #

0:00:080:00:12

..incredible dancers...

0:00:120:00:13

Holy Moley!

0:00:130:00:17

..and met some real characters.

0:00:170:00:19

Strawberries and cream, living the dream.

0:00:190:00:22

I like riffing, so, like, Mummy told me to calm down a wee bit.

0:00:220:00:26

LAUGHTER

0:00:260:00:27

Ooh, they do a lovely sausage roll!

0:00:270:00:30

So, tonight's auditionees have lots to live up to if they're to

0:00:320:00:35

earn a place in the next stage.

0:00:350:00:38

Grab your seats - it's going to be a big night.

0:00:380:00:40

MAN SINGS HIGH NOTE

0:00:400:00:42

And there won't be a dry eye in the house.

0:00:420:00:45

There you are! Welcome to Let It Shine.

0:01:130:01:16

Oh! Now, we've got our hi-tech,

0:01:160:01:19

glow-in-the-dark wristy things, second Summer Of Love.

0:01:190:01:22

We're ready to go. So who wants to hear some singing?

0:01:220:01:25

-CROWD CHEERS Yeah?

-We do!

0:01:250:01:28

Anyone want to see some dancing?

0:01:280:01:30

MUSIC: Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit

0:01:300:01:32

Maybe not this dancing.

0:01:320:01:34

Er, the people have spoken, Graham,

0:01:340:01:36

so let's give them what they want.

0:01:360:01:39

Yay!

0:01:390:01:41

'Our Manchester crowd look ready. Let's get our judges out.'

0:01:410:01:45

'First up, it's singer and musical theatre star Dannii Minogue'

0:01:470:01:50

'Next, I like to call him Kempo.

0:01:530:01:56

'It's actor and Spandau Ballet ledge Martin Kemp'

0:01:560:01:58

'She's a star of the hit show Glee

0:02:000:02:02

'and has appeared on the West End stage.

0:02:020:02:04

'It's our guest judge, Amber Riley.'

0:02:040:02:06

'And finally, Take That's very own Gary Barlow.

0:02:080:02:11

'They're on the hunt for five brilliant boys to play

0:02:120:02:15

'a boyband in a new stage show featuring the music of Take That.'

0:02:150:02:19

We're not expecting the finished article,

0:02:190:02:21

we're looking for bags of potential.

0:02:210:02:23

JUDGES AND CROWD GASP

0:02:230:02:25

'To be in with a chance of winning that real job in a new musical,

0:02:260:02:29

'tonight our auditionees must get a total score of at least 15 stars

0:02:290:02:33

'from our judges to secure their place in the next stage.'

0:02:330:02:37

None of the judges know what each other has given,

0:02:370:02:40

so it's a complete surprise.

0:02:400:02:42

If you've got us at the edge of our seat,

0:02:420:02:44

you know you've done something right.

0:02:440:02:46

'Quite naturally, in our backstage common room,

0:02:480:02:51

'the adrenaline's pumping as the boys wait their turn.'

0:02:510:02:54

I've done things before like sing, gigs, things like that,

0:02:540:02:57

but nothing this big.

0:02:570:02:59

'And there seems to be one man in particular on their mind.'

0:02:590:03:02

How'd you feel about seeing Gary?

0:03:020:03:04

Nervous. He's pretty much my man-crush throughout my whole life.

0:03:040:03:07

I'm going to be the Asian Gary Barlow!

0:03:070:03:09

'Speaking of which...'

0:03:120:03:14

-GIRL IN CROWD:

-I love you, Gary!

0:03:140:03:15

I think they like you, Gary.

0:03:150:03:18

This is my town. OK, folks, this is it.

0:03:180:03:21

Jordan, as a child, had endless energy.

0:03:260:03:29

Erm, you never knew what he was going to do next.

0:03:290:03:32

He's 110mph. Yeah, he won't stop talking.

0:03:320:03:35

-Jordan's a very talented drummer.

-When he performs, he smiles.

0:03:350:03:39

-He loves it.

-All the reviews in the paper said the band had the smiliest

0:03:390:03:43

drummer they've ever seen.

0:03:430:03:44

Nobody knows he was a singer, but he must have secretly been

0:03:440:03:48

singing away in his bedroom or something.

0:03:480:03:50

When he's walking on to the stage he'll be so excited.

0:03:500:03:53

He loves it.

0:03:530:03:55

Music is his passion.

0:03:550:03:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:590:04:01

-Hi, what's your name?

-Hey, guys.

0:04:070:04:09

My name is Jordan Harvey. I'm 24, I'm from Edinburgh.

0:04:090:04:12

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:120:04:14

You've got a guitar there, you must be gigging.

0:04:170:04:19

How long have you been singing?

0:04:190:04:21

I've been singing for about six months.

0:04:210:04:23

I started singing cos someone told me it gets girls,

0:04:230:04:26

so I was like... LAUGHTER

0:04:260:04:28

So I was like, "OK, I'll start doing that."

0:04:280:04:30

And what's the drum for?

0:04:300:04:31

So I initially started out as a drummer,

0:04:310:04:34

and I decided that one day I was just too far back, so...

0:04:340:04:38

I still do that, though!

0:04:380:04:39

OK, well, whenever you're ready show us what you've got.

0:04:390:04:42

It's something new.

0:04:420:04:44

0:04:580:05:04

0:05:040:05:10

# What you waiting for?

# What you waiting for?

# What you waiting for?

0:05:180:05:21

# What you waiting for?

0:05:210:05:24

# When I dance alone and the sun's beating down

0:05:260:05:31

# Oh, blame it on me

0:05:310:05:35

# When I lose control and the veil's overused

0:05:370:05:42

# Oh, blame it on me

0:06:220:06:24

# What you waiting for? #

0:06:260:06:28

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:290:06:31

This man is Jordan!

0:06:340:06:37

Judges, don't forget the score.

0:06:370:06:39

Well done.

0:06:390:06:40

-I think Gary Barlow cracked a smile during that.

-I did.

-You did.

0:06:400:06:45

I've told myself, you know,

0:06:450:06:46

"Don't try and imagine what the band is going to be like

0:06:460:06:49

"in this musical",

0:06:490:06:50

but - but - I would love somebody who does play

0:06:500:06:54

a guitar or another instrument in there.

0:06:540:06:57

I think it would be the centre of the whole band.

0:06:570:06:59

So at the moment what I'm picturing is you!

0:06:590:07:01

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:010:07:03

That's nice!

0:07:030:07:05

Erm, high praise from Gary. Dannii, how did you feel about it?

0:07:080:07:12

I thought it was, like, understated.

0:07:120:07:15

I think there's a lot more there, but you just chose the bits

0:07:150:07:18

that went perfectly for this audition, and that shows a wise man.

0:07:180:07:24

-OK, er, nice comments.

-Yeah.

0:07:240:07:28

-The audience enjoyed it.

-Yeah.

0:07:280:07:31

But now we're going to find out the total number of stars

0:07:310:07:34

you've been awarded, OK?

0:07:340:07:35

If this one lights up, you're going through to the next stage, OK?

0:07:350:07:38

-All right.

-I wish you well.

-Thank you.

0:07:380:07:40

Let's find out how Jordan has been scored.

0:07:400:07:43

Here we go.

0:07:520:07:54

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:020:08:04

Big score! Well done, man!

0:08:120:08:16

Amber Riley, she likes you. Five out of five!

0:08:160:08:19

Yeah, I had to give you a five because I needed you to go through,

0:08:190:08:22

and they can be tricky sometimes.

0:08:220:08:24

APPLAUSE

0:08:240:08:26

Let's just get a comment from Martin.

0:08:260:08:30

My poker face is rubbish, isn't it?

0:08:300:08:31

-I think you'd be so good inside the band.

-Yeah.

0:08:310:08:34

You were fabulous, man, you rocked that audition!

0:08:340:08:37

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:370:08:39

You OK? You good?

0:08:430:08:45

You're OK. It's a good thing, it's all a good thing.

0:08:470:08:50

Today's a big achievement for me, and I just feel amazing, like.

0:08:550:08:58

You should feel amazing!

0:08:580:08:59

You should feel amazing, you should care.

0:09:010:09:03

We're all thrilled for you, we'll see you next time.

0:09:030:09:07

Thank you very much to Jordan, there you go. Really well done.

0:09:070:09:10

Very good.

0:09:100:09:12

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:120:09:13

-I was nervous about the kick drum, though, with the guitar.

-I was too!

0:09:130:09:18

-And the mic stand, like, behind all of that.

-I know.

-But he...

0:09:180:09:21

-He was so good!

-He was fine.

-It shined.

-It worked.

0:09:210:09:24

I loved that with the kick drum coming in, that was superb.

0:09:240:09:27

I bet, I bet that he can rub his belly and pat his head.

0:09:270:09:32

-I bet he can do that.

-Now that's a skill!

0:09:320:09:35

I bet, you know, I bet he can do it.

0:09:350:09:37

THEY CHEER

0:09:400:09:43

'So as Jordan celebrates

0:09:430:09:44

'winning over the judges with his audition...'

0:09:440:09:47

Oh, that was bad.

0:09:470:09:48

'..Mark Owen explains how he became a part of Take That

0:09:480:09:51

'all those years ago.'

0:09:510:09:53

Our first ever audition wasn't far from here -

0:09:530:09:56

it was in, erm, a club called Le Cage.

0:09:560:09:58

There were six people who turned up,

0:09:580:10:00

and one person didn't get through,

0:10:000:10:03

and us five did, but only six people turned up,

0:10:030:10:06

so, I mean, we all had quite a good odds of getting...

0:10:060:10:09

LAUGHTER

0:10:090:10:11

'No doubt wishing his odds were that good today,

0:10:150:10:17

it's 21-year-old student AJ Bentley.

0:10:170:10:19

AJ's currently studying a dance degree in London.

0:10:240:10:27

AJ started dancing at about the age of four.

0:10:270:10:29

As he got a little bit older, people were taking the mickey out of him

0:10:290:10:33

for dancing, but he didn't care - he wanted to carry on.

0:10:330:10:36

He's been gelling his hair since he was about five.

0:10:370:10:41

Even the local barber knows what to touch

0:10:410:10:44

and what not to touch of AJ's hair.

0:10:440:10:47

So my brother's been in a boyband before.

0:10:470:10:50

He was only in it for about a year.

0:10:500:10:52

AJ's perfect boyband material, he's a brilliant dancer, he's

0:10:520:10:55

a fantastic showman, so he draws the eye, and he'd be perfect for it.

0:10:550:10:58

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:010:11:03

Hello.

0:11:050:11:07

What's your name, please, sir?

0:11:090:11:11

Er, my name's AJ, I'm 21, and I'm a student from London.

0:11:110:11:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:140:11:16

AJ, what made you apply for this show?

0:11:190:11:21

I'm a big Take That fan and I love performing, so, erm...

0:11:210:11:25

to be able to perform in a Take That stage show would be

0:11:250:11:28

incredible for me, so...

0:11:280:11:29

What about Spandau Ballet? You never heard of them?

0:11:290:11:31

# You are gold! #

0:11:310:11:33

Love it!

0:11:330:11:34

AJ, who's with you today?

0:11:350:11:38

My lovely mother and father are here today, and...

0:11:380:11:41

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:410:11:43

-..and it's my mum's birthday today, as well.

-Ah, amazing.

0:11:430:11:46

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:460:11:48

-She's a massive Gary Barlow fan.

-We should get a picture.

0:11:480:11:51

Come on, we'll take a selfie.

0:11:510:11:54

OK, well, listen, we're ready to hear you sing.

0:11:540:11:56

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much.

Hey, listen to that! Judges, enter your scores, please.

0:13:520:13:56

0:13:570:13:58

Enjoy that, enjoy it.

0:13:590:14:00

Yeah. All right, let's go to the judges for comments.

0:14:020:14:05

0:14:050:14:07

Loved it, AJ!

0:14:070:14:10

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:100:14:13

You were great. You know what I loved about it?

0:14:130:14:15

You're really, really smart.

0:14:150:14:17

You're not the strongest vocalist,

0:14:170:14:19

but you played to your strengths, and you came out here,

0:14:190:14:21

you knew that you could perform the heck out of it,

0:14:210:14:24

and you knew that everybody in this audience was going to love it too.

0:14:240:14:27

-Thank you.

-And I did!

0:14:270:14:28

Ah, thank you.

0:14:280:14:30

OK, is AJ's mother still going to like you, Gary?

0:14:300:14:33

What have you got to say?

0:14:330:14:34

-I think we're definitely on for a selfie cos I loved it.

-Aww!

0:14:340:14:38

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:380:14:40

This show's called Let It Shine,

0:14:400:14:42

it was like a big light beaming off the stage.

0:14:420:14:45

I thought you were terrific, well done.

0:14:450:14:48

Good comments so far.

0:14:480:14:50

Dannii, do you agree?

0:14:500:14:52

You need one of everything in the band.

0:14:520:14:54

You need the guy who's got all the energy, who is going to,

0:14:540:14:57

you know, tumble over your head and be able to sing and be able

0:14:570:15:00

to perform and catch everyone's attention. Man, you gave that 100%.

0:15:000:15:06

-Oh, thank you, Dannii.

-Well done.

0:15:060:15:08

Very good.

0:15:080:15:10

-Great comments.

-They are.

0:15:100:15:13

There is a maximum of 20 stars available.

0:15:130:15:16

-Yep.

-OK? But the all-important one is the 15th star.

0:15:160:15:20

-That has to light up if you're going through to the next stage.

-I hope.

0:15:200:15:23

-OK, you all set?

-I'm all set, yes.

All right, let's find out how AJ has scored!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:460:15:48

Oh, my God!

0:15:530:15:54

-That was amazing.

-18 stars!

0:15:540:15:58

-Well done!

-I can't believe it!

0:15:580:16:00

-Well done, fantastic, well done.

-Thank you.

0:16:000:16:02

Look at that, five points - five points from Gary Barlow!

0:16:020:16:07

-Wow!

-Oh, thank you so much.

0:16:070:16:10

Your mother really loves him now.

0:16:100:16:12

And, er, Martin gave a maximum as well there. Five out of five.

0:16:120:16:16

You've got the charisma, you've got the personality,

0:16:160:16:18

you know who you are, you're completely comfortable

0:16:180:16:21

on stage and in your skin.

0:16:210:16:23

Just work on the vocals a little bit and you'll be absolutely brilliant.

0:16:230:16:26

Well, you certainly shined.

0:16:260:16:27

Ladies and gentlemen, we will be seeing him again - it's AJ!

0:16:270:16:30

Thank you.

0:16:420:16:43

'we've seen Gary out and about surprising people...'

GASPS AND SHRIEKS

0:16:460:16:48

'..who've been nominated to audition by their friends and family.'

0:16:480:16:51

Come and audition for us on the Let It Shine stage.

0:16:510:16:54

When? When?

0:16:540:16:55

'Luckily for our next secret hit target,

0:16:570:16:59

'the Barlow-mobile is back on the road.'

'Ah, there he is.

0:17:280:17:30

'Now, Deon thinks we're filming a sports documentary,

0:17:310:17:34

'but that is codswallop invented by his sister-in-law, Lois,

0:17:340:17:38

'who's asked our Gary to pay him a visit.'

0:17:380:17:41

Deon's a great singer.

0:17:410:17:42

I don't think he realises how good he is,

0:17:420:17:45

so that's why I decided to give him a bit of a push.

0:17:450:17:48

'Training over, the boys head to the clubhouse, and it's not long

0:17:500:17:53

'before Deon's belting out a little bit of Tom Jones.'

0:17:530:17:57

THEY ALL SING # My, my, my Delilah... #

0:17:570:18:03

'Meanwhile, Mr Gary Barlow is en route.'

0:18:030:18:05

I think, when I think of Wales, I think of an amazing history of

0:18:070:18:11

great singers, so I'm hoping this is the place.

0:18:110:18:14

-How are you?

-I'm all right, thank you.

Now, listen, your sister-in-law, Lois...

0:18:550:18:57

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you too.

0:18:570:18:59

She's nominated you to be part of our new show, and I wanted to know,

0:18:590:19:04

will you come and perform for us on the Let It Shine stage?

0:19:040:19:07

Yeah, definitely.

0:19:090:19:10

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:100:19:12

Fantastic.

0:19:140:19:16

Wow.

0:19:160:19:17

I just couldn't believe it, it was, honestly, it was just...

0:19:210:19:23

the biggest shock I've ever had in my life.

0:19:230:19:26

Hi, hello, hi!

0:19:300:19:32

Now, Lois...

0:19:320:19:34

-Yes.

-Deon, who's up next, how do you think he's feeling at the moment?

0:19:340:19:39

Er, I think he'll be excited, nervous, a mix of emotions,

0:19:390:19:42

-but I think he'll be up for it.

-Yeah.

0:19:420:19:44

I'm really excited to hear him sing.

0:19:440:19:46

Right, he's about to perform, let's cling close.

0:19:460:19:48

Come on, Deon, he can do it.

0:19:480:19:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:500:19:52

Hey there!

0:19:590:20:00

-Hiya.

-How are you?

-I'm all right, thank you.

0:20:000:20:02

-We know one another, don't we?

-We do.

-This is Deon, everybody.

-Hi.

0:20:020:20:07

We met in... What was the town we met in? It was on Anglesey, wasn't it?

0:20:070:20:10

Yeah, it's called, er,

0:20:100:20:12

0:20:200:20:22

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery- chwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?

0:20:220:20:25

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:250:20:27

I did.

0:20:270:20:28

Incredible. I am impressed.

0:20:290:20:32

That is what he said, right? Yeah.

0:20:320:20:33

It was your sister in law, wasn't it, that nominated you?

0:20:350:20:38

It was indeed.

0:20:380:20:39

I probably wouldn't have had the self-confidence to do it at

0:20:390:20:41

the time, but she put me forward,

0:20:410:20:43

and since I've been here now I'm feeling so much better about it,

0:20:430:20:47

and trying to push on forward in the competition hopefully.

0:20:470:20:50

Well, listen, we can't wait to hear you sing. Good luck.

-Thank you.

0:22:280:22:31

Judges, please enter your scores.

0:22:310:22:33

Dannii, what do you think of Deon?

0:22:330:22:36

Beautiful, natural voice in there.

0:22:360:22:39

It seems like it's very new to you, performing on stage,

0:22:390:22:43

-because that was not there at all.

-Mm-hm.

0:22:430:22:46

You've just got to learn some of the tricks and things

0:22:460:22:49

to anchor that performance.

0:22:490:22:51

And when you get some of those under your belt, and some that are natural

0:22:510:22:54

to you, man, you are going to feel in a different planet.

0:22:540:22:59

All right. Gary, what did you think?

0:22:590:23:01

You're a really good singer.

0:23:010:23:03

The confidence thing, of course, it's going to be an issue tonight.

0:23:030:23:06

You know, someone has nominated you to be here.

0:23:060:23:09

So I understand it's a huge step for you.

0:23:090:23:12

And for me, at this point in the competition, it's about seeing the

0:23:120:23:16

talent within somebody and thinking, can we take it a little bit further?

0:23:160:23:19

And I'm really hoping the judges have voted with that in mind.

0:23:190:23:23

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:230:23:25

The judges don't know the total number of stars

0:23:260:23:29

you've been awarded yet, OK? The magic number is 15.

0:23:290:23:33

This is the 15th star, this is the one that has to light up

0:23:330:23:37

-if you're going through to the next stage.

-Yes.

0:23:370:23:39

-All right, you ready for this?

-Yep.

-OK.

0:23:390:23:41

Let's find out how Deon has been scored.

0:23:410:23:44

Come on!

0:23:590:24:01

Oh!

0:24:010:24:02

Ah, well. Thank you. It's all right. Thank you.

0:24:040:24:07

HE MOUTHS

0:24:090:24:11

13, am I right? Just short.

0:24:110:24:13

Amber, just three from you, but you've got to admire this guy's

0:24:130:24:16

courage, to come out and suddenly be thrust into this arena.

0:24:160:24:19

-That is a thing.

-Oh, absolutely.

0:24:190:24:21

It definitely is, so good on you for that, because that's a big deal.

0:24:210:24:25

But you know, I had to vote based on what it was that I saw,

0:24:250:24:27

and I saw potential, but I think

0:24:270:24:30

you will probably need a lot of work for eight shows a week...

0:24:300:24:32

-Yeah.

-..on a theatrical stage.

-That's fair enough. Yeah.

0:24:320:24:35

Martin, that was a lovely vocal. Was that not enough for you?

0:24:350:24:38

It was a lovely vocal, it really was.

0:24:380:24:40

It was just a little bit pitchy here and there.

0:24:400:24:42

And you've got stuff to work on.

0:24:420:24:43

You know, what I think would be really good for you

0:24:430:24:46

is to go to see drama coach as well.

0:24:460:24:48

Bring the confidence out in yourself, you know?

0:24:480:24:51

Open yourself up.

0:24:510:24:52

I think you can overcome that and your shyness,

0:24:520:24:54

and get a much better performance.

0:24:540:24:56

Go and see a drama coach as well as a voice coach.

0:24:560:24:59

Gary, any final words of encouragement?

0:24:590:25:02

Please, please, go away.

0:25:020:25:04

Take this experience, learn from it.

0:25:040:25:07

-But please, please, keep singing.

-Will do, thank you.

0:25:070:25:10

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:100:25:12

What would you like to say to the judges?

0:25:130:25:15

I'd just like to thank you all for your comments,

0:25:150:25:17

and I'll definitely go off and work on them,

0:25:170:25:19

-and hopefully come back sometime.

-All right.

0:25:190:25:21

-Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Deon.

-Thank you.

-Sorry.

0:25:210:25:25

There you go, down that way.

0:25:250:25:27

So, Deon's not quite right for a part in the stage show.

0:25:270:25:31

But the lucky five boys who do end up treading the boards in this new

0:25:310:25:34

touring musical will be following in the footsteps of some great

0:25:340:25:38

performers.

0:25:380:25:39

# I was cheated by you and I think you know when... #

0:25:390:25:44

Musical theatre is a big tradition in our country. We love it.

0:25:440:25:47

We have incredible shows full of amazing, incredible people.

0:25:470:25:52

I'm constantly blown away with the level of talent.

0:25:520:25:55

# Now, repeat after me

0:25:550:25:57

# I pledge allegiance to the band... #

0:25:570:25:59

Eight shows a week is really hard work.

0:25:590:26:03

It's a real test, a test of the character.

0:26:030:26:05

And some young kids that are going through today,

0:26:050:26:07

there's a lot of hard work in it.

0:26:070:26:09

I love the musical Wicked.

0:26:120:26:14

I went back seven times to watch this musical.

0:26:140:26:17

So many beautiful moments, characters on stage, performances.

0:26:170:26:22

I'm doing Dreamgirls on the West End.

# We'll be there

0:26:310:26:34

# We're your Dreamgirls... #

0:26:340:26:36

Coming here, it's something that's very new for me.

0:26:360:26:39

I'm just giving these boys the advice that I've been given,

0:26:400:26:43

and the things that I've learned while I'm on the same journey.

0:26:430:26:46

I'm on the same journey as them.

0:26:460:26:49

# Walk like a man, fast as I can... #

0:26:490:26:52

Jersey Boys, we're talking about a great story with great music,

0:26:520:26:57

with amazing performers in the show. That's basically the key.

0:26:570:27:01

That's what people go and see.

0:27:010:27:02

GUNFIRE

0:27:020:27:05

Every single musical that's on in the West End right now

0:27:050:27:09

applies to what we're talking about here.

0:27:090:27:11

Other musicals are our competition, and there's some amazing ones.

Now, you might think our next contender,

0:27:360:27:38

West End performer Matt, should be more confident than most.

0:27:380:27:41

But even HE'S not feeling totally stage ready.

0:27:410:27:44

I look like I got dressed in the dark.

0:27:440:27:46

Mate, don't put yourself down, OK?

-you want to be in this show, clearly?

-Absolutely, yeah, yeah.

0:28:430:28:45

It would be great to be in something that's brand-new.

0:28:450:28:48

-British musical, but a great songwriter.

-Oh, thank you.

0:31:210:31:22

I believe it.

0:31:220:31:25

LAUGHTER

0:31:250:31:27

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:270:31:30

Is that how you felt, Martin?

0:31:300:31:31

LAUGHTER

0:31:310:31:33

I did, actually. I got it.

0:31:340:31:38

They got it. Everybody in this whole room got it.

0:31:380:31:43

Ah-ha. OK!

0:31:430:31:45

All right, let's find out how those comments translate into stars.

0:31:450:31:49

Here we go, let's find out how Matt has been scored.

0:31:490:31:53

Come on.

0:31:590:32:01

Here they go. Here they go.

0:32:020:32:03

Yes! 15. Any more?

0:32:110:32:14

Yes! 18, 19...

0:32:140:32:17

here we go...yes!

0:32:170:32:20

For Matt, 20 stars, a standing ovation. How great is that?

0:32:300:32:36

Well done.

0:32:400:32:42

Now, I feel like you should now get a car or something...

0:32:420:32:46

-LAUGHTER

-..but there's no extra prize.

0:32:460:32:49

You just get through to the next stage of the competition.

0:32:490:32:51

That's good.

0:32:510:32:52

Final word to the man who wrote the songs, Gary?

0:32:520:32:55

What you did tonight was absolutely outstanding.

0:32:550:32:58

-Well done to you.

-Thank you.

0:32:580:33:00

We'll see you in the next stage of the competition.

0:33:020:33:04

It's Matt, everybody.

0:33:040:33:06

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:33:060:33:08

Well done. There you go.

0:33:080:33:10

Well done.

0:33:110:33:13

CHEERING

0:33:130:33:16

Gents... Gentlemen and gentlemen...

0:33:160:33:19

I give you Matt Thorpe. He brings news.

0:33:190:33:22

-20 stars.

-CHEERING

0:33:220:33:25

So a maximum for Matt, and while the mood's up in studio,

0:33:290:33:33

prepare for another 20-star performance.

0:33:330:33:35

# Is this the way to Amarillo?

0:33:350:33:39

# Every night I've been hugging my pillow

0:33:390:33:43

# Dreaming dreams of Amarillo

0:33:430:33:47

# And sweet Marie who waits for me

0:33:470:33:50

# Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, hey

0:33:510:33:54

# Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

0:33:540:33:57

# Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

0:33:570:34:01

# And Marie who waits for me. #

0:34:010:34:03

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:030:34:07

I'm absolutely exhausted.

0:34:070:34:08

Word of advice, loves,

0:34:130:34:14

don't try that dance manoeuvre in these trousers.

0:34:140:34:17

-LAUGHTER

-I love her!

0:34:170:34:21

Nice.

0:34:210:34:23

The touring musical our winning boys will star in features

0:34:240:34:26

Take That's music, but it doesn't tell the story of the band,

0:34:260:34:29

so we're not searching for lookalikes.

0:34:290:34:32

Our next auditionee, however, does seem rather familiar.

0:34:320:34:35

CHEERING

0:34:420:34:44

Good grief, you look like a friend of mine.

0:34:530:34:56

LAUGHTER, CHEERING

0:34:560:34:58

What's your name, please, sir?

0:34:580:35:00

I'm Dan Budd.

0:35:000:35:02

I'm scared to ask what you do for a living.

0:35:020:35:06

I am a Robbie Williams tribute act.

0:35:060:35:08

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:080:35:11

He will be made up you're wearing those shoes.

0:35:140:35:17

He loves those shoes.

0:35:170:35:20

-Listen, we're dying to see what you can do. Good luck.

-Thank you.

0:35:200:35:25

MUSIC: No Regrets

0:35:320:35:36

# Tell me a story... #

0:35:430:35:46

He sounds like him, as well.

0:35:460:35:47

# Where we all change

0:35:470:35:50

-# And we live our lives together and... #

-Whoa!

0:35:520:35:56

# Not estranged

0:35:570:36:00

# I didn't lose my mind It was mine to give away

0:36:020:36:08

# Couldn't stay to watch me cry You didn't have the time

0:36:110:36:16

# So I softly slip away

0:36:160:36:21

# No regrets

0:36:230:36:25

# They don't work

0:36:280:36:30

# No regrets, now

0:36:320:36:35

# They only hurt

0:36:370:36:39

# Sing me a love song

0:36:420:36:44

# Drop me a line

0:36:470:36:49

# Suppose it's just a point of view

0:36:510:36:56

# But they tell me I'm doing fine

0:36:560:37:00

# Remember the photographs Insane

0:37:000:37:05

# The ones where we all laugh So lame

0:37:050:37:10

# We were having the time of our lives

0:37:100:37:13

# Well, thank you It was a real blast. #

0:37:130:37:22

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:220:37:25

Give it up for Dan, everybody!

0:37:270:37:29

-Well done, sir.

-Thank you.

-Judges, please put your scores in.

0:37:320:37:38

Gary, that must have been a strange experience.

0:37:380:37:40

You are an amazing impersonator.

0:37:400:37:43

-Yeah.

-I mean, you really...

0:37:430:37:45

It's unbelievable how much you sound and look like Rob.

0:37:460:37:50

-I mean, it really is.

-Thank you.

0:37:500:37:52

We're trying to create this musical featuring the music.

0:37:520:37:55

At no point do I want band members to be named.

0:37:550:37:59

I want to take that out of it and have their music celebrated

0:37:590:38:01

to an entirely new story.

0:38:010:38:03

So by having someone who basically sounds and looks absolutely

0:38:030:38:07

identically to Robbie is kind of going against everything

0:38:070:38:10

that I'm trying to do, and it's whether we can de-Robbie you...

0:38:100:38:14

-Yeah.

-..is the point.

0:38:140:38:16

But you're talented. There's no question about it.

0:38:160:38:18

-You have a very good voice.

-Thank you.

-Dannii, how do you feel?

0:38:180:38:22

Your energy, your showmanship, there's nothing that I can fault.

0:38:220:38:26

But did I see you?

0:38:280:38:30

I'm thinking you couldn't not put this guy through,

0:38:300:38:34

cos the vocals are insanely good, insanely strong.

0:38:340:38:39

They would hold up for eight shows a week and more.

0:38:390:38:42

CHEERING

0:38:420:38:46

Amber, you're probably less familiar with Robbie Williams,

0:38:460:38:49

-so what did you make of the performance?

-I was completely

0:38:490:38:52

-enamoured by your performance. You are freaking incredible.

-Thank you.

0:38:520:38:56

-Your voice is incredible.

-Thank you very much.

0:38:560:38:59

Whether or not you sound just like him, you know,

0:38:590:39:04

that really doesn't matter to me. I loved what you did today.

0:39:040:39:08

Dan, do you think you can unlearn the habits?

0:39:080:39:13

-Yeah!

-Yeah?

0:39:130:39:14

-Right answer.

-Yes!

-All right, this is it.

0:39:140:39:18

We're going to find out if you're going through to the next stage

0:39:180:39:21

of the competition. Ready for this? You are. Here we go.

0:39:210:39:25

Let's find out how Dan has been scored.

0:39:250:39:27

-AUDIENCE MEMBER:

-Go on, Dan!

0:39:270:39:29

Come on, come on...

0:39:400:39:42

Go on!

0:39:440:39:45

Oh!

0:39:470:39:49

Oh!

0:39:490:39:51

CHEERING

0:39:510:39:53

HE MOUTHS

0:39:540:39:56

That's fantastic, congratulations, Dan.

0:39:560:39:59

Now, I'm trying to read Gary's expression.

0:40:000:40:02

Well, let me just say, Dan, I got my scoring wrong.

0:40:020:40:06

I got my scoring wrong.

0:40:060:40:07

I've had more time to think about it,

0:40:070:40:09

and I should have given you a five. I should.

0:40:090:40:11

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:110:40:13

Wow.

0:40:130:40:14

-That's a nice thing to hear.

-Thank you so much.

0:40:210:40:23

I'm going to show you there's more to me than just Rob.

0:40:230:40:27

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Dan Budd.

0:40:270:40:29

CHEERING

0:40:290:40:30

HE MOUTHS

0:40:300:40:32

-My doubt is that it feels to me like it's so ingrained in him...

-Yeah.

0:40:350:40:41

-Yeah.

-It's an interesting problem, to see if you can get rid of it.

0:40:410:40:44

-Yep.

-Because if you can, and you can pull out his own voice,

0:40:440:40:47

it's going to be great.

0:40:470:40:50

Are you going to be going for the whole, kind of, Robbie thing

0:40:500:40:52

-next time?

-No, no. They don't want Robbie.

0:40:520:40:55

It's not that show. They want me for me.

0:40:550:40:58

Are you going to change the hair, though, seriously, for next time?

0:40:580:41:01

-Who knows?

-Who knows? I'll keep everyone guessing.

0:41:010:41:03

-Keep the options very, very open.

-Yes.

0:41:030:41:07

Talking of keeping things open,

0:41:080:41:10

18-year-old student Elijah Holloway has gone textbook boyband.

0:41:100:41:14

-Exposed armpits? Check.

-Explain the vest.

0:41:140:41:17

-Very boyband, I've got to say.

-It's not boyband. It's for movement.

0:41:170:41:21

I'm doing a very energetic performance,

0:41:210:41:23

-so I just want to be comfortable.

-It's tactical, mate.

0:41:230:41:26

They said wear what you'd wear. This is genuinely what I'd wear.

0:41:260:41:28

Yep. In the bedroom.

0:41:280:41:30

CHEERING

0:41:310:41:33

-Hi, what's your name?

-My name's Elijah Holloway.

0:41:440:41:46

-I'm 18 and I'm from Letchworth Garden City.

-OK.

0:41:460:41:49

CHEERING

0:41:490:41:52

And what do you do?

0:41:520:41:53

At the moment I'm working in a department store,

0:41:530:41:56

so I'm actually mostly selling perfume to quite rich customers.

0:41:560:42:00

But it's quite fun cos I've got quite a good technique.

0:42:000:42:02

My technique is to convince the customer they have to buy this

0:42:020:42:05

product, so without this product, if they go away,

0:42:050:42:07

-they're empty-handed.

-OK...

-They have to buy this perfume.

0:42:070:42:10

-..what are you selling today?

-I'd say Amber, you're looking

0:42:100:42:12

for a spicy, rich fragrance.

0:42:120:42:14

Gary, you're looking for something floral, light. Like yourself.

0:42:140:42:17

LAUGHTER, CHEERING

0:42:170:42:19

I'd say, Dannii, you're definitely looking for something elegant,

0:42:190:42:24

quite sophisticated.

0:42:240:42:26

Martin, I'd say you're looking for something quite wooden.

0:42:260:42:28

-AUDIENCE:

-Oh!

0:42:280:42:31

And by wooden, I mean mature and elegant.

0:42:310:42:35

I know I was in EastEnders for a while,

0:42:350:42:37

but that's below the belt, I thought.

0:42:370:42:39

Well, this is your moment to leave the perfume department.

0:42:390:42:43

-Let's do it.

-Yeah, do it.

-Excellent.

0:42:430:42:46

Why, this car could be automatic...

0:42:530:42:56

CHEERING

0:42:560:42:58

It's systematic...

0:42:580:43:00

CHEERING

0:43:000:43:02

It's hydromatic...

0:43:020:43:05

# Why, it's greased lightning

0:43:070:43:09

# We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads, oh, yeah

0:43:100:43:13

# A fuel injection cut-off and chrome-plated rods, oh, yeah

0:43:160:43:20

# With a four-speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door

0:43:220:43:25

# You know that it's for real We'll be getting lots of feel

0:43:250:43:28

# With greased lightning

0:43:280:43:30

# Go, greased lightning You're burning up the quarter mile

0:43:310:43:34

# Go, greased lightning

0:43:370:43:39

# You're coasting through the heat lap trials

0:43:390:43:41

# You are supreme The chicks'll scream

0:43:430:43:45

# For greased lightning... #

0:43:450:43:48

Everybody clap!

0:44:020:44:04

# Go, greased lightning You're burning up the quarter mile

0:44:130:44:17

# Go, greased lightning

# Greased lightning. #

0:44:350:44:39

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:44:390:44:42

Let's hear it for Elijah, everybody!

0:44:430:44:45

Congratulations, sir, well done.

0:44:470:44:49

Judges, if you want to enter your number of stars, now would be

0:44:490:44:52

-the time to do it. I have to say, you smell very good.

-Thank you.

0:44:520:44:57

Gary, I'll go to you. What do you make of Elijah?

0:44:570:45:00

Er, Elijah, the chat is so much better than the singing,

0:45:000:45:03

-let me just tell you that.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:45:030:45:05

A very entertaining song, but even the moves weren't that great.

0:45:050:45:09

Not that I know that much about moves...

0:45:090:45:11

-LAUGHTER

-..but I know enough.

0:45:110:45:13

-Amber?

-I feel like you have potential,

0:45:140:45:18

and you know what kind of won me over, actually?

0:45:180:45:22

The very last note that you hit and you held showed me that there's

0:45:220:45:25

a lot more inside there than you probably know.

0:45:250:45:28

One of the things that I feel like I'm looking for is someone

0:45:280:45:31

whose personality can fill the room as well as their voice.

0:45:310:45:35

-So I enjoyed it.

-Thank you.

0:45:350:45:39

Mixed comments there.

0:45:390:45:40

You ready? Let's find out how Elijah has been scored.

0:45:420:45:45

Ooh!

0:46:010:46:03

11, Elijah. I'm sorry.

0:46:050:46:09

-Gary, seriously?

-Do you know what?

0:46:100:46:13

-One?!

-Can I just say, Elijah,

0:46:130:46:16

when you see the last five people we have in this competition,

0:46:160:46:19

they're people who will have put their whole life into this.

0:46:190:46:23

I feel like you're just about to start on that treadmill.

0:46:230:46:26

How are you feeling now?

0:46:260:46:27

Do you feel encouraged by their words in the end?

0:46:270:46:30

Yeah. Maybe some more singing experience is required.

0:46:300:46:33

I think there definitely is a lot more to my voice,

0:46:330:46:36

and maybe nerves got the better of me.

0:46:360:46:38

Yes, to come out here and entertain a crowd is not an easy thing to do.

0:46:380:46:41

I'm sorry we're not going to see you...

0:46:410:46:43

Well, not in the rest of this competition.

0:46:430:46:45

We'll see you again, obviously.

0:46:450:46:46

-You're not killed when you walk offstage.

-No.

0:46:460:46:49

-I don't know what happens backstage.

-It's not that harsh.

0:46:490:46:53

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a huge round of applause to Elijah.

0:46:530:46:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:46:570:46:58

Wow, Gary. One?

0:47:030:47:06

Is like another art, doing an audition.

0:47:090:47:11

To try and present yourself within one minute 30 on a stage,

0:47:130:47:17

in front of an audience, takes a lot of courage.

0:47:170:47:19

-Hiya.

-How are you doing?

0:47:190:47:21

I'm doing much better now.

0:47:210:47:23

The audition arena is one of the hardest places to be in

0:47:230:47:26

for any actor, performer, musician.

0:47:260:47:28

I've had to go through the audition process as well. It is frightening.

0:47:310:47:36

You can tell as soon as someone walks in the room,

0:47:380:47:40

-the confidence level.

-You look great, by the way.

-So do you.

0:47:400:47:44

LAUGHTER

0:47:440:47:45

This is going to go extremely well, this audition, I can feel it.

0:47:450:47:49

When you have confidence, that's your spirit in your heart.

0:47:490:47:52

# Show me how to fight for now

0:47:520:47:54

# And I tell you, baby

0:47:540:47:57

# It was easy coming back here to you once I figured it out

0:47:570:48:01

# You were right here all along... #

0:48:010:48:04

Manchester, make some noise, come on! CHEERING

0:48:040:48:07

You see something in their eyes.

0:48:070:48:09

When they look at the audience, you can see how much they want it.

0:48:090:48:13

# It's like you're my mirror. #

0:48:130:48:15

Yes! Yes!

0:48:170:48:20

You had them. That is a gift.

0:48:220:48:24

Keep going with that, you've got star talent.

0:48:240:48:28

Hiya. You all right?

0:48:280:48:30

You can't really give someone a personality.

0:48:310:48:34

They've either got it or they haven't.

0:48:340:48:36

My name is Harry Fabulous Brown and I'm 17 years old.

0:48:360:48:40

CHEERING Harry Fabulous...

0:48:400:48:42

-Is that your real name? Fabulous?

-That is my genuine, real name.

0:48:420:48:45

# My mamma don't like you, and she likes everyone... #

0:48:470:48:50

Before I was born, my sister, she used to call me Baby Fabulous.

0:48:500:48:54

# And I've been so caught up in my job

0:48:540:48:56

# I didn't see what's going on... #

0:48:560:48:59

And so when my dad was sent to the registry office,

0:48:590:49:02

he just thought, why don't I just call him Harry Fabulous Brown?

0:49:020:49:05

-LAUGHTER

-And it's stuck ever since.

0:49:050:49:08

# You should go and love yourself. #

0:49:080:49:12

Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:49:160:49:19

17 stars? Wow.

0:49:200:49:24

'One of the best things that happens for me

0:49:240:49:26

'is when you're completely surprised.'

0:49:260:49:28

# I was left... #

0:49:280:49:29

'Could that be in the show? Well, yeah, it could be.'

0:49:290:49:32

And all of a sudden, you start to think differently about the endgame.

0:49:320:49:36

And that's exciting.

0:49:360:49:37

# Woo! #

0:49:370:49:41

Yeah!

0:49:440:49:47

I'm always worried when people come out and they're full of personality,

0:49:470:49:50

and often it fades when the song starts.

0:49:500:49:52

You actually backed it up with some real talent.

0:49:520:49:54

CHEERING

0:49:540:49:56

On audition day you have to feel your best.

0:49:560:49:59

If you don't, it's the worst nightmare.

0:49:590:50:02

-How are you doing?

-All right.

0:50:020:50:04

My throat's just a little bit sore.

0:50:040:50:06

Are you going to be able to get the high notes?

0:50:060:50:09

We'll have to wait and find out.

0:50:090:50:11

What do you do for a living?

0:50:110:50:13

I'm an actor/singer/dancer.

0:50:130:50:15

-I managed to be in The Book Of Mormon in the West End.

-Oh, wow.

0:50:150:50:20

# You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

0:50:200:50:23

# I'm shaking, falling onto my knees...#

0:50:230:50:27

When you want a part so badly,

0:50:270:50:29

but your body lets you down, it can be really tough.

0:50:290:50:32

And it can really hurt.

0:50:320:50:34

# I'll be needing stitches... #

0:50:340:50:36

I don't know if you've told anyone,

0:50:360:50:38

but you're either getting over a cold, or you've got a cold, right?

0:50:380:50:41

-I've got tonsillitis.

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

0:50:410:50:44

Cos I can tell you can sing, but you're far from your best.

0:50:440:50:47

You shouldn't even be talking.

0:50:470:50:48

If your doctor saw you now, he'd be like, "Sh!"

0:50:480:50:51

-Which shows me that you really want this.

-Yeah!

0:50:510:50:54

-I did it...just!

-Oh, wow!

-15.

0:51:040:51:07

-Oh!

-Such a relief.

0:51:070:51:10

-Yay! Can we get you a hot lemon and honey?

-I'd love a brew.

0:51:100:51:14

Yeah, a little brew? I shall sort that out for you. Come on.

0:51:140:51:17

Meet 27-year-old business analyst and singer Kyle.

0:51:220:51:27

All right, Billy Elliot in the room.

0:51:270:51:29

He's busy boosting his boyband chances with some priceless

0:51:290:51:33

-dance tuition.

-I'm like a baby elephant as opposed to Billy Elliot.

0:51:330:51:36

OK. I'll tell you what you do need to be able to do.

0:51:360:51:39

Take That started with the running man.

0:51:390:51:41

-Can you do the running man?

-No.

0:51:410:51:42

-Come on, Howard. You know the running man.

-Can you do that?

0:51:420:51:45

-I don't want to attempt it, cos I'll probably look like...

-Come on.

0:51:450:51:49

-Right...

-There you go.

0:51:490:51:51

That's it. You are in. You are officially in.

0:51:510:51:55

Nice one.

0:51:550:51:56

I am Kyle's biggest fan. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

0:51:590:52:03

My heart bursts when I hear him sing. I just love it.

0:52:030:52:07

Kyle's big dream is to be on stage entertaining,

0:52:070:52:11

singing his heart away.

0:52:110:52:13

Every single Christmas party we have at work, he's the first person

0:52:130:52:16

to try and get on the stage and grab the mic off the DJ.

0:52:160:52:19

He comes as this bit of a cheeky chappie, Jack the Lad.

0:52:190:52:23

But when he sings, he's serious about it.

0:52:230:52:26

I don't think his future lies here in this office.

0:52:260:52:29

I think his future lies out there on the stage,

0:52:290:52:31

because you can just see it's what he wants to do.

0:52:310:52:34

Kyle's probably a nervous person, but it never shows.

0:52:340:52:38

Kyle, you just need to believe in yourself. You just need

0:52:380:52:41

to have confidence in what you do.

0:52:410:52:43

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:52:430:52:45

-Hi, how are you?

-I'm really good, thanks.

-Good, what's your name?

0:52:530:52:57

My name's Kyle Passmore. I'm 27, from Blackpool,

0:52:570:52:59

live in Birmingham now.

0:52:590:53:01

CHEERING

0:53:010:53:02

So what do you do for a living?

0:53:050:53:06

Monday to Friday I'm a business analyst,

0:53:060:53:08

so I've got to act like, "Hi, good morning, everyone".

0:53:080:53:11

-At the weekend I'm a mess.

-LAUGHTER

0:53:110:53:13

Then back at work on Monday, I'm like, "Hi, Janet, you all right?"

0:53:130:53:16

I'm a mess on the weekend too!

0:53:160:53:19

Is this like the most nerve-racking experience? How has it been?

0:53:190:53:23

It's amazing, but it's probably the second. The worst one,

0:53:230:53:26

I worked at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. The Royal Variety came.

0:53:260:53:30

My boss said, "You can open the door for the Queen." I'm like, "What?!"

0:53:300:53:33

-LAUGHTER

-So everyone started bowing, and I'm like...

0:53:330:53:36

LAUGHTER

0:53:360:53:38

That's the picture. I'm like this.

0:53:380:53:41

So that's the most nervous.

0:53:410:53:43

But obviously this is just as nervous.

0:53:460:53:47

I've had a similar experience.

0:53:470:53:49

-I met the President of the United States, President Obama.

-Oh, my God.

0:53:490:53:52

And I sang for him, and I snorted...

0:53:520:53:55

So... LAUGHTER

0:53:550:53:58

We're in the same boat, kinda.

0:53:580:53:59

-Exactly!

-Well, I'm really excited to hear you sing.

0:53:590:54:03

-So are you ready to give it a go?

-I'm ready to do it.

0:54:030:54:05

-All right, good luck.

-Thank you.

0:54:050:54:07

CHEERING

0:55:540:55:56

Good job, Kyle.

0:56:010:56:03

Judges, have you all put in your scores?

0:56:080:56:11

Martin, what did you think?

0:56:110:56:12

You know, in auditions in drama,

0:56:120:56:14

there's three Cs that they talk about.

0:56:140:56:16

You have to be confident, you have to be charismatic,

0:56:160:56:19

and you have to be comfortable.

0:56:190:56:21

You had all three.

0:56:210:56:23

I absolutely loved this audition.

0:56:230:56:27

-Amber?

-I enjoyed it.

0:56:280:56:30

I know that you may have been little shaky and you were looking up,

0:56:300:56:33

but I think you were putting all of your emotion into it,

0:56:330:56:37

and a love for music.

0:56:370:56:38

And I personally appreciate that.

0:56:380:56:40

I love when someone loves music as much as I do,

0:56:400:56:43

and you made me feel that.

0:56:430:56:45

It was great.

0:56:450:56:46

OK, let's see what the total number of stars is.

0:56:480:56:52

You can get a maximum of 20, but you've got to get 15, Kyle.

0:56:520:56:56

Here you go.

0:56:560:56:58

Let's find out how Kyle has been scored.

0:56:580:57:01

CHEERING

0:57:190:57:22

Oh! 17...18...

0:57:220:57:25

19... Oh!

0:57:250:57:28

You're through! You're through.

0:57:370:57:39

Somebody slightly spoilt the party.

0:57:450:57:47

BOOING

0:57:470:57:50

Dannii, four?

0:57:520:57:54

Four. I honestly think you have so much more to give.

0:57:540:57:59

-You've got further to go.

-Yeah.

-Five stars?

-He was five stars!

0:57:590:58:03

Do you know how many people get a five-star review?

0:58:030:58:06

He had five stars written all over him.

0:58:060:58:08

CHEERING

0:58:080:58:10

And then a final word from Gary Barlow?

0:58:100:58:12

A big, ringing endorsement there.

0:58:120:58:14

Five stars out of five.

0:58:140:58:16

Yeah, you know, we sit here studying,

0:58:160:58:18

watching for movements, listening for sounds, pitch, whatever else.

0:58:180:58:22

This was five stars with my heart, this one.

0:58:220:58:26

CHEERING

0:58:260:58:28

-Well, this has pretty much gone as well as you could have hoped.

-Yeah.

0:58:300:58:35

-What have you got to say after that?

-Thank you so much.

0:58:350:58:37

You've done a massive thing for me right now. Like, it's been amazing.

0:58:370:58:41

We are all so happy for you, Kyle.

0:58:410:58:44

You're through to the next stage of the competition.

0:58:440:58:46

Give it up for Kyle!

0:58:460:58:47

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:58:470:58:49

Well done, sir.

0:58:490:58:51

Dannii? Wa-wa!

0:58:510:58:53

It was all going so well. I was ready for the standing ovation.

0:58:550:58:59

-I was ready to get up.

-Well, then you should have got up!

0:58:590:59:02

-I was ready for the confetti...

-You should have!

0:59:020:59:04

-Guys, I got 19 stars!

-Yeah!

0:59:060:59:12

19? Did you see your mum?

0:59:120:59:14

Yeah, she wasn't even looking at me. She was looking at Gary. Like...

0:59:140:59:17

I was like...

0:59:170:59:18

Melanie Giedroyc, what are we actually doing?

0:59:190:59:22

You know when the lads do the kind of, cool

0:59:220:59:24

-slow-mo walk through the tunnel?

-Yeah...

0:59:240:59:27

-Yeah? And their life flashes around them in an interesting way?

-Yes.

0:59:270:59:30

-We're going to do it.

-Really?

-Are you up for it?

0:59:300:59:34

-Yeah!

-Come on. To the tunnel.

0:59:340:59:36

-I love Graham. He's such an amazing bloke, isn't he?

-Who's that?

0:59:410:59:46

Is that Sue's friend?

0:59:470:59:49

Graham, top guy. Suave.

0:59:490:59:52

Mel, she really takes the biscuit.

0:59:540:59:57

In fact, she really did take my biscuits.

0:59:571:00:00

How good was that?

1:00:001:00:03

Are you having a laugh? Did you see what they put in the tunnel?!

1:00:031:00:06

Back to business, Mel.

1:00:101:00:12

Next up, it's two boys with different sets of skills

1:00:121:00:14

to bring to their audition.

1:00:141:00:16

Professional circus performer Matt wants to show off his moves

1:00:161:00:19

as well as his singing.

1:00:191:00:21

But for student Josh,

1:00:211:00:22

it's all about vocal gymnastics.

1:00:221:00:24

My name is Josh. I'm 17 years old and I'm from Reigate, Surrey.

1:00:271:00:32

My name's Matt Knight. I'm 27, I'm from Gloucester.

1:00:321:00:34

-What do you normally do?

-Physical theatre and circus

1:00:341:00:37

-and comedy standstill, as you can probably tell.

-Yeah, I can see that.

1:00:371:00:40

Hopefully I can...show you some moves.

1:00:401:00:43

I'm currently at college five days a week,

1:00:431:00:46

and then four nights a week I work at the local supermarket.

1:00:461:00:49

But the dream is something more?

1:00:491:00:52

I never aspire to anything else.

1:00:521:00:54

-It's just singing I've wanted to do.

-OK. Well, show us what you've got.

1:00:541:00:58

Thank you very much.

1:00:581:01:00

MUSIC: Jealous

# I'm jealous of the rain

# That falls upon your skin

# Oh, I'm jealous of the rain

# I'm jealous of the wind

1:01:281:01:32

# That ripples through your clothes

1:01:341:01:37

# It's closer than your shadow

1:01:391:01:44

# Oh, I'm jealous of the wind... #

1:01:451:01:49

# So wake me up when it's all over

1:01:491:01:52

# When I'm wiser and I'm older

1:01:521:01:56

# All this time I was finding myself

1:01:571:02:00

# And I didn't know I was lost... #

1:02:001:02:05

CHEERING

1:02:061:02:10

# But I always thought you'd come back

1:02:201:02:23

CHEERING

1:02:401:02:42

So, two different approaches.

1:02:581:03:02

But have they done enough for a place in the next stage?

1:03:021:03:04

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:03:161:03:18

It's the potential to use that strength in your voice

1:03:241:03:27

to really kick it out to the back of the room in a theatre.

1:03:271:03:30

But there's also this, like, pop sound about your voice which I love.

1:03:301:03:35

-I think it's all there.

-Thank you very much.

1:03:351:03:38

We haven't seen a 10th of what you're going to give us,

1:03:381:03:41

I don't feel. You should be really proud of yourself.

1:03:411:03:44

Josh's vocals clearly impressed.

1:03:441:03:46

But did Matt's singing and dancing gets the judges in a spin?

1:03:481:03:51

CHEERING

1:04:031:04:07

Dude, you flipped on your head!

1:04:091:04:11

Like with no hands!

1:04:111:04:15

Listen, the dancing was amazing, the singing, with practice,

1:04:171:04:21

-it could potentially be really great in a group.

-Thank you.

1:04:211:04:24

Thanks so much.

1:04:241:04:26

Yeah, it was a tentative vocal performance,

1:04:261:04:28

and it was interesting watching you transform into the great dancer

1:04:281:04:33

you are, cos actually just singing you were quite robotic.

1:04:331:04:36

And then all of a sudden it was beautiful to then watch you free up,

1:04:361:04:39

and the dancing was incredible.

1:04:391:04:41

So there's work to do on the vocals, but you know what?

1:04:411:04:44

This is very encouraging. I'm very excited to watch that performance.

1:04:441:04:48

Well done.

1:04:481:04:49

-Thank you, guys.

-Matt, everybody.

1:04:511:04:53

-There you go.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

1:04:531:04:56

Now if, like Graham, you love spending time on social media,

1:05:021:05:06

then do get involved and tell us what you think.

1:05:061:05:08

We've also got some backstage exclusives

1:05:081:05:10

waiting for you to discover.

1:05:101:05:12

Ever since I was two years old, I've always wanted to be in a boyband.

1:05:211:05:24

Cos I used to watch people like Take That and the Spice Girls

1:05:241:05:27

-and Steps.

-Oh!

-I say "used to", I still do.

-Steps?

1:05:271:05:30

-Steps, who doesn't love a bit of Steps?

-You know.

1:05:301:05:33

# Tragedy

1:05:331:05:34

# When I'm washing my hair and it won't come out, it's tragedy... #

1:05:341:05:37

-Exactly.

-Wasn't it?

1:05:371:05:39

It's like a whack with your hip and your hand.

1:05:391:05:41

So you shoot to the right, but then, ooh,

1:05:411:05:43

a cheeky shoot to the left, or maybe two. You never know.

1:05:431:05:47

In the '80s, this was quite big.

1:05:471:05:49

So you go...

1:05:491:05:51

-Oh!

-It was a double scoop. Double...scoop. Double...scoop.

1:05:511:05:56

That was my signature move.

1:05:561:05:57

-Oh, nice.

-And when I did that, boy, oh, boy, Tayler, the floor cleared.

1:05:571:06:01

CHEERING

1:06:041:06:07

-What's your name?

-I'm Tayler, so...

1:06:161:06:19

I'm 21, and I'm from Southampton.

1:06:191:06:21

CHEERING

1:06:221:06:25

Have you got family here today?

1:06:251:06:27

-I've got my partner Tom somewhere.

-Hi, Tom.

1:06:271:06:30

Hi, Tom.

1:06:301:06:31

Just one second, a minute.

1:06:331:06:35

Tom's very good-looking. Can you sing, Tom?

1:06:351:06:37

-He's better!

-Is he? Is he?

1:06:371:06:41

So let us into your world. What's the dream?

1:06:411:06:43

Boyband. Honestly, boyband.

1:06:431:06:46

Christmas 1998, let me take you all back...

1:06:461:06:49

LAUGHTER

1:06:491:06:50

I got a few video tapes of Take That concerts,

1:06:501:06:55

and Spice Girls and Steps.

1:06:551:06:58

And we always had Spandau Ballet in the car, don't worry.

1:06:581:07:00

Yeah!

1:07:011:07:03

We can all relax now.

1:07:031:07:05

And every day I'd just go home and I taught myself each member's

1:07:051:07:08

track throughout the concert, so on a Monday I'd be you,

1:07:081:07:12

and then on a Friday I'd be Howard, you know?

1:07:121:07:15

LAUGHTER

1:07:151:07:16

The closest I've actually got is, I'm in a One Direction tribute band.

1:07:161:07:19

-CHEERING

-Yeah. There you go.

1:07:191:07:22

So you're sort of used to having screaming fans, and...?

1:07:221:07:25

Yeah, but not over the age of eight.

1:07:251:07:27

LAUGHTER

1:07:271:07:29

-OK, good luck.

-Right, let's do it.

1:07:311:07:33

MUSIC: Faith

1:07:421:07:46

# Well, I guess it would be nice

1:07:461:07:49

# If I could touch your body

1:07:491:07:51

# I know not everybody has got a body like you

1:07:511:07:56

# Oh, but I've got to think twice

1:07:561:07:58

# Before I give my heart away

1:07:581:08:01

# And I know all the games you play

1:08:011:08:03

# Because I play them too

1:08:031:08:06

# Cos you gotta have faith

1:08:061:08:08

# Oh, I gotta have faith

1:08:081:08:11

# I gotta have faith, faith, faith

1:08:111:08:13

# I gotta have faith, faith, faith

1:08:131:08:17

# Baby, woo!

1:08:171:08:19

# You mean every word you say

1:08:191:08:21

# Can't help but think of yesterday

1:08:211:08:23

# And another who tied me down to the lover boy rules

1:08:231:08:27

# Before this river becomes an ocean

1:08:271:08:31

# Before you throw my heart back on the floor

1:08:311:08:35

# Oh, well, baby, I reconsider My foolish notion

1:08:351:08:41

# Well, I need someone to hold me But I'll wait for something more

1:08:411:08:46

# Cos I gotta have faith

1:08:461:08:48

# Oh, I gotta have faith

1:08:481:08:51

# I gotta have faith, faith, faith

1:08:511:08:53

# I gotta have faith, faith, faith. #

1:08:531:08:56

CHEERING

1:08:561:08:59

Tayler, everybody!

1:09:011:09:03

Judges, judges, input your scores.

1:09:031:09:06

-Oh, how nice to hear adults screaming!

-Gosh, I know.

1:09:061:09:10

-Now, I'm going to go to the judges. Martin?

-Great energy.

1:09:101:09:13

The way you came up here and you brought it to the desk,

1:09:131:09:16

I loved that. The audience were with you. We were with you.

1:09:161:09:20

Everyone at the back was with you. The song, you sang it well.

1:09:201:09:23

-Well done.

-Thank you so much.

1:09:231:09:25

-Thank you.

-OK, let's ask Dannii.

1:09:251:09:28

Let's ask Dannii what she thought.

1:09:281:09:29

What did you think, Dannii?

1:09:291:09:31

-Good, good.

-Not everything fired as well as it could have.

-OK.

1:09:311:09:35

OK.

1:09:351:09:37

BOOING I think that it was a timing issue.

1:09:371:09:40

Yeah.

1:09:401:09:41

So it was rushing at parts, and behind in other parts.

1:09:411:09:44

And it was all a bit frantic. Less is more.

1:09:441:09:48

-That would you my advice for you.

-Great. Thank you.

-OK.

1:09:481:09:52

-Tayler, we're going to find out how you've been scored now.

-OK.

1:09:521:09:55

You need 15 stars or more to light up if you're going through

1:09:551:09:58

-to the next age.

-Yeah.

1:09:581:09:59

Good luck. Let's find out how Tayler has been scored.

1:09:591:10:02

Oh!

1:10:211:10:22

AUDIENCE GROANS

1:10:221:10:25

BOOING

1:10:251:10:27

I'm so sorry.

1:10:351:10:37

Judges, don't look shocked! It's your fault!

1:10:371:10:40

BOOING

1:10:421:10:43

OK, let's go to Amber, because Amber, it was a four.

1:10:451:10:48

I think you have complete likeability.

1:10:481:10:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:10:501:10:52

Yeah, it was a little overdone, but I think it's because you really,

1:10:541:10:57

really want to do something like this, like you said,

1:10:571:10:59

since two years old, this is what you've wanted to do.

1:10:591:11:02

But, yeah, you guys missed the mark on this one. He's really good.

1:11:021:11:05

I saw your face, Gary! I think you're sorry he's not going through.

1:11:051:11:08

I can only tell you what I felt from watching your performance.

1:11:081:11:12

-Right now, you don't have a lot of character in your voice.

-OK.

1:11:121:11:16

Your voice is that pre-set theatre voice at the moment,

1:11:161:11:18

which is very nice, but I want voices with edge.

1:11:181:11:22

Cos we're making a modern musical.

1:11:221:11:24

-We're not making something that's 50 years old.

-Cool.

1:11:241:11:27

I feel so sorry, you got literally that close to going through.

1:11:281:11:33

Thank you for having me here anyway. Thank you.

1:11:331:11:35

-Honestly.

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

1:11:351:11:37

-Let's hear it for Tayler.

-Thank you, guys.

1:11:371:11:40

-One star away.

-Ah, that is tough. One away is hard.

1:11:481:11:53

-Tayler...

-Hiya.

1:11:531:11:55

I am giving you... Listen, come here.

1:11:551:11:59

Come here. Do not worry.

1:11:591:12:03

-Do you feel a bit deflated?

-Yeah, a bit deflated.

1:12:031:12:06

But who wouldn't be, you know? I was only one point away, you know?

1:12:061:12:09

-One star away.

-Oh, I know. Stop it. That is so frustrating.

1:12:091:12:13

It's like a... It's right there, come on, come on...

1:12:131:12:17

Oh, no, red, you know?

1:12:171:12:18

-Do you know what? Keep it.

-I'm going to keep this going on.

1:12:181:12:23

-And the shoop?

-Definitely the shoop.

1:12:231:12:25

-The shoop's not going anywhere.

-MEL LAUGHS

1:12:251:12:28

It's almost the end of today's auditions,

1:12:281:12:30

and the judges, quite frankly, have been spoilt with talent.

1:12:301:12:33

Can our final auditionee heroically top them all?

1:12:331:12:36

He's made a name for himself overseas,

1:12:361:12:38

but wants to become massive in the UK.

1:12:381:12:40

His name?

1:12:401:12:42

Hercules...um, Smith.

1:12:421:12:44

Hercules loves to train.

1:12:491:12:52

He goes to the gym a lot - like, every day.

1:12:531:12:56

Hercules, I think he's got a lot to live up to, don't you?

1:12:571:13:00

There's a small side to Hercules. I think he has a shyness about him.

1:13:021:13:06

But it's a nice quality.

1:13:061:13:08

Is Hercules a big softie? Yeah.

1:13:081:13:11

His daughter, Tayla, absolutely adores Hercules.

1:13:111:13:15

Daddy's my number one favourite singer in the world,

1:13:151:13:18

and he's better than Gary Barlow.

1:13:181:13:20

-What's your name?

-My name's Hercules. I'm 33 years old.

1:13:331:13:37

-Is that your real name?

-Yes, it is.

1:13:371:13:39

In my mother's belly, as you do the baby scans, the doctor said

1:13:391:13:43

that I was going to be big, and have big hands and big feet.

1:13:431:13:46

So yeah, my dad decided to call me Hercules.

1:13:481:13:50

-It's a lot to live up to, isn't it?

-It is, it is.

1:13:501:13:53

As a young kid I was the tiniest and smallest boy in school,

1:13:531:13:57

with such a big name, so yeah, it was hard.

1:13:571:14:00

But there it is.

1:14:001:14:02

OK, so what made you apply for the show today?

1:14:021:14:04

One thing is, I love your work, Gary.

1:14:071:14:11

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:14:111:14:13

Are you OK?

1:14:191:14:20

-AUDIENCE MEMBER:

-Come on!

1:14:201:14:22

I tell you what, to have a name like Hercules,

1:14:261:14:29

and come out and be emotional on stage, well done to you, my friend.

1:14:291:14:32

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

1:14:321:14:34

And who are you here with today? Who did you come with?

1:14:351:14:39

My wife and my daughter's here.

1:14:391:14:41

Your biggest fans?

1:14:411:14:43

Hercules, can I ask - I've just heard a little bit of an accent.

1:14:461:14:50

-Where are you from?

-All the way from South Africa.

-Good. Well, welcome.

1:14:501:14:53

-We can't wait to hear you sing.

-Thank you so much.

1:14:531:14:55

MUSIC: Iris

1:15:031:15:08

# And I'll give up forever to touch you

1:15:121:15:16

# Cos I know that you feel me somehow

1:15:181:15:22

# You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

1:15:231:15:29

# And I don't want to go home right now

1:15:291:15:33

# And all I can taste is this moment

1:15:351:15:39

# And all I can breathe is your life

1:15:411:15:45

# When sooner or later it's over

1:15:461:15:50

# I just don't wanna miss you tonight

1:15:521:15:56

# And I don't want the world to see me

1:15:571:16:02

# Cos I don't think that they'd understand

1:16:021:16:08

# When everything's made to be broken

1:16:081:16:14

# I just want you to know who I am

1:16:141:16:19

# And I don't want the world to see me

1:16:191:16:25

# Cos I don't think that they'd understand

1:16:251:16:37

# I just want you to know who I am. #

1:16:401:16:45

CHEERING

1:16:461:16:50

Wow. Hercules, everybody!

1:16:511:16:55

Well done, sir. Well done.

1:16:551:16:58

That was stunning, well done.

1:16:591:17:01

Let's go to Amber.

1:17:011:17:03

Well, the one thing that the performance did not lack

1:17:031:17:06

was passion. You are so passionate about music.

1:17:061:17:10

-And you have a background in opera? Yes?

-Yeah.

1:17:101:17:14

Yes, your breathing... Your lungs probably expanded so much,

1:17:141:17:18

they are so big. You blew me away with your voice.

1:17:181:17:23

-And I absolutely loved you. I did.

-Thank you so much.

1:17:231:17:26

There's no denying Hercules has got a great voice.

1:17:271:17:30

Is he right for the competition, Gary?

1:17:301:17:32

Interestingly, the crowd really reacted to your operatic voice.

1:17:321:17:35

Thank you so much.

1:17:351:17:37

And it is very impressive, but actually for me, I was more

1:17:371:17:40

interested in your pop voice, cos you presented us with both tonight.

1:17:401:17:44

-I did.

-And obviously for the show that we are putting on,

1:17:441:17:47

it's going to be the music of Take That.

1:17:471:17:49

And I want to hear those songs sung in the pop voice, not...

1:17:491:17:52

-OPERATIC VOICE:

-# All I do each night is pray... #

1:17:521:17:55

-LAUGHTER

-You know? But listen...

1:17:551:17:58

-Gary, he didn't sound like that!

-No, he didn't. Fair enough, he didn't.

1:17:581:18:03

-But listen, you have an amazing talent there, sir...

-Thank you.

1:18:031:18:06

..and the passion, as Amber said, is absolutely beautiful. I love that.

1:18:061:18:11

There's one thing about people in theatre,

1:18:111:18:14

is that the passion is absolutely crucial. And you have bags of it.

1:18:141:18:18

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-All right, this is the moment of truth.

1:18:181:18:21

Let's find out how Hercules has been scored.

1:18:211:18:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:18:441:18:47

You did it, sir! You did it.

1:18:531:18:55

Well done, well done. Well done.

1:18:551:18:58

You did a great job. Seriously.

1:18:581:19:01

You're thrilled, right? This is all a good thing.

1:19:021:19:06

-Yeah, I'm not crying cos I'm sad.

-Let it out, cry it out.

1:19:061:19:09

-Cry it out. Look at your daughter up there. Is that Tayla?

-Yeah.

1:19:091:19:13

There she is. She's thrilled for you.

1:19:131:19:15

Dannii, what have you got to say to Hercules?

1:19:151:19:17

You know, you're perfect for this business because thespians

1:19:171:19:21

on the stage are very emotional, and very dramatic.

1:19:211:19:25

And you've got that.

1:19:251:19:26

We don't need to teach you that. Done.

1:19:261:19:29

Martin, what you want to say to her?

1:19:291:19:31

There's a saying, isn't there? An old saying in theatre,

1:19:311:19:34

about lifting the roof off the house. And that's what you did, man.

1:19:341:19:38

CHEERING Absolutely lifted the roof off the house.

1:19:381:19:43

I felt everything you were singing. It made me so emotional,

1:19:431:19:47

-because it was a great performance.

-Thank you so much.

1:19:471:19:50

-You should be so proud.

-Thank you.

1:19:501:19:52

Tell me this, Hercules, are you always this emotional,

1:19:571:19:59

or is it something about today? What's going on?

1:19:591:20:01

-Let me tell you why.

-OK, please do.

1:20:011:20:04

I've been chasing my dream for a long time,

1:20:041:20:09

so it's kind of nice to get the recognition.

1:20:091:20:11

Well, you're on your way. You're on your way. I'm so happy for you.

1:20:111:20:14

Ladies and gentlemen, raise the rafters for Hercules.

1:20:141:20:17

CHEERING

1:20:171:20:19

We'll see you again. Great job, really good job.

1:20:191:20:22

This is it, the last day.

1:20:271:20:29

You threw everything at that.

1:20:311:20:33

What you have is a complete gift.

1:20:341:20:37

-London!

-Wow.

1:20:381:20:41

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

1:20:411:20:44

I would have married you.
