-PALOMA:

-The coaches, we're a bit like brothers and sisters.

0:00:010:00:05

-RICKY:

-As in all families, it can be a little bit explosive, as well.

0:00:060:00:09

There's going to be some fireworks.

0:00:110:00:13

The other coaches get on your nerves!

0:00:140:00:18

Tonight on The Voice...

0:00:180:00:19

Did you just butt in?

0:00:190:00:21

There's going to be a bunfight!

0:00:210:00:23

Excuse me?

0:00:240:00:25

Dad's gone, Mom's gone, kids act up.

0:00:250:00:28

I didn't even do anything.

0:00:280:00:30

You see someone getting tired and upset...

0:00:340:00:36

Don't get upset!

0:00:360:00:38

Yes!

0:00:390:00:40

-Whoa, whoa!

-Hey, wait a second!

0:00:400:00:42

-Is everything OK?

-CRYING:

-Actually, no. I'm all right!

0:00:420:00:44

Fire and flames...

0:00:440:00:47

That's extremely rude.

0:00:470:00:48

I disagree with Paloma.

0:00:480:00:50

Just getting that clear.

0:00:500:00:52

Can we bury the hatchet?

0:00:520:00:53

No, it's in your back!

0:00:530:00:54

I'm going to take her down.

0:00:540:00:56

What was that?

0:00:560:00:57

I can't stomach it! See you later.

0:01:000:01:02

See you later. Figure it out!

0:01:020:01:04

EMMA: In your face!

0:01:070:01:09

So here we go, 17-year-old student Aliesha Lobuczek.

0:01:090:01:13

ALIESHA: For me to be on that stage in front of those coaches

0:01:130:01:16

is just amazing.

0:01:160:01:18

Today could be the first step

0:01:180:01:20

into a life I hope I will live one day.

0:01:200:01:23

If one of the chairs did turn for me today, I think

0:01:230:01:25

that my friends and family would be really, really shocked.

0:01:250:01:28

But in a good way!

0:01:280:01:29

Come on, Aliesha. Come on!

0:01:300:01:33

I live at home with my dad.

0:01:330:01:35

He's really, really supportive.

0:01:350:01:37

Aliesha means the world to me.

0:01:370:01:39

Whatever makes her happy, I'm behind it 100%.

0:01:390:01:42

Whenever I do performances, he's always at the front,

0:01:420:01:44

like, recording and then on the way home

0:01:440:01:46

he'll play it in the car.

0:01:460:01:47

I love hearing Aliesha sing.

0:01:470:01:49

I think she's just fantastic.

0:01:490:01:51

I can't watch it! It makes me cringe.

0:01:510:01:53

He's really proud of me, which is nice.

0:01:530:01:55

# If you want it, take it

0:02:040:02:09

# I should have said it before

0:02:090:02:12

CHEERING # Tried to hide it, fake it

0:02:120:02:16

# I can't pretend any more

0:02:170:02:20

# I only want to die alive... #

0:02:210:02:24

Come on, let's go. Push the button. Come on!

0:02:240:02:27

# Broken heart

0:02:270:02:29

# I don't wanna hear you lie tonight

0:02:290:02:32

# Now that I've become who I really am

0:02:320:02:36

# And this is the part when I say I don't want ya

0:02:370:02:43

# I'm stronger than I've been before

0:02:430:02:45

# This is the part when I break free

0:02:450:02:50

# Cos I can't resist it no more

0:02:500:02:54

# It was lethal

0:02:540:02:56

# It was fatal... #

0:02:560:02:57

Go on, Liesh!

0:02:570:02:59

# My dreams, they felt so right

0:02:590:03:02

# But I woke up

0:03:020:03:04

# Every ti-i-i-ime

0:03:040:03:09

# This is the part when I say I don't want ya

0:03:090:03:14

# I'm stronger than I've been before

0:03:140:03:17

CHEERING

0:03:170:03:19

# This is the part when I break free

0:03:190:03:23

# Cos I can't resist it no more. #

0:03:230:03:28

CHEERING

0:03:280:03:31

Come on! Yes!

0:03:330:03:35

Hello, what's your name?

0:03:410:03:44

I'm Aliesha, I'm 17 and I'm a student from Birmingham.

0:03:440:03:46

CHEERING

0:03:460:03:49

How did you end up on here?

0:03:490:03:51

I'm not too sure!

0:03:510:03:53

I'm glad I came here though.

0:03:540:03:57

-I am.

-I... I don't... I'm sorry!

0:03:570:03:59

That was really lovely and we all looked at each other

0:03:590:04:02

and went, "Let's turn, yes!"

0:04:020:04:04

And then you see your hair and it's dazzling.

0:04:040:04:07

Thank you!

0:04:070:04:08

I didn't turn around but I think you are fabulous.

0:04:090:04:13

When there is a live animated Pocahontas,

0:04:130:04:16

you know who's getting the role. Right? That would be you.

0:04:160:04:19

-PALOMA:

-But, no, that was a really beautiful, crisp performance.

0:04:230:04:28

It was almost too perfect.

0:04:280:04:30

But that's a really good place to start,

0:04:300:04:33

in the sense that, you know,

0:04:330:04:34

we're all striving for that anyway and you're kind of like there.

0:04:340:04:38

CHEERING

0:04:380:04:40

-I'm Ricky, how you doing?

-I'm great, yeah.

0:04:400:04:43

-Are you nervous?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:04:430:04:45

It's a bit of a shock.

0:04:450:04:46

It didn't come across in your singing at all,

0:04:460:04:48

which is really strange,

0:04:480:04:50

to see you kind of like a ball of nerves now.

0:04:500:04:53

I however am really nervous that I might not get you on my team.

0:04:530:04:57

Hence I've been waffling for the last 20 seconds.

0:04:570:05:00

And I can tell that George really wants to say something.

0:05:000:05:02

I'm just going to keep talking! LAUGHTER

0:05:020:05:06

I just want to warn you that they've got, both of them,

0:05:060:05:08

have got similar singers to you,

0:05:080:05:10

so you've got to weigh that up when you...

0:05:100:05:13

-AUDIENCE: Oooooooh!

-It's true!

-Dang.

0:05:130:05:15

-What have I got that's similar?

-You've got some big voices.

0:05:150:05:18

Yeah, but very different stylistically, like...

0:05:180:05:21

-No.

-LAUGHTER

0:05:210:05:22

They are!

0:05:220:05:23

-She's lying.

-AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

0:05:230:05:26

-RICKY:

-I've done this for a couple of years and these two are new

0:05:260:05:28

and I'm starting to recognise their pitches already,

0:05:280:05:31

-and they're really good.

-Oh, what about yours?

0:05:310:05:33

Oh, I can do Ricky's!

0:05:330:05:35

-Go on, then.

-Hold on.

0:05:350:05:36

Could somebody give me some fake eyelashes so I can blink my eyes?

0:05:360:05:39

And the thing is, they're really good.

0:05:410:05:43

George has sold hundreds of millions of records.

0:05:430:05:46

Paloma's one of the most successful female artists

0:05:460:05:48

in the world right now, right?

0:05:480:05:50

-And that is...

-CHEERING

0:05:500:05:52

..a real draw.

0:05:520:05:53

I just promise you that if you repeat that,

0:05:550:05:57

I can remove all the obstacles in your way

0:05:570:05:59

of going further on in the competition.

0:05:590:06:02

And not just that, finding your dreams.

0:06:020:06:05

CHEERING

0:06:050:06:08

Can't get better than that!

0:06:080:06:10

-PALOMA:

-I feel like what I would like to work towards

0:06:100:06:12

is finding who the real you is

0:06:120:06:15

and what your influences are

0:06:150:06:16

and showing your versatility.

0:06:160:06:19

And that's where I'd go with it.

0:06:190:06:20

Thank you. CHEERING

0:06:200:06:22

I think the job of the coach is to find the right songs,

0:06:220:06:25

take you out of your comfort zone and, you know,

0:06:250:06:28

looking at the kind of career you want beyond this.

0:06:280:06:32

Did you have in mind a person that you wanted to go with?

0:06:320:06:36

-Kind of.

-Who was that?

0:06:360:06:38

AUDIENCE YELL

0:06:390:06:42

I'm kind of torn.

0:06:420:06:44

Being torn is great, nothing wrong with being torn.

0:06:440:06:47

You just need to go with your gut feeling,

0:06:470:06:49

and that's what I've done throughout my whole career.

0:06:490:06:52

It's time for you to be kind of brave, actually.

0:06:550:06:59

Rather than just going, "I know what I want and I'll stick to that,"

0:06:590:07:03

you know, be brave.

0:07:030:07:05

Be brave!

0:07:050:07:07

Choose wisely!

0:07:080:07:10

AUDIENCE YELL

0:07:100:07:11

But beware of wolves in sheep's clothing!

0:07:110:07:14

AUDIENCE: Oh!

0:07:140:07:16

I think I've made a decision.

0:07:180:07:20

I'm going to go with Paloma Faith.

0:07:310:07:33

CHEERING

0:07:330:07:35

-Congrats.

-Thank you.

0:07:440:07:45

Thank you.

0:07:470:07:48

-Thank you.

-Good luck.

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:07:480:07:50

-No, you don't need to be sorry. It's fine.

-Thank you.

0:07:500:07:52

-PALOMA:

-It's wonderful. Come on, let's go.

0:07:520:07:54

Don't get upset!

0:08:020:08:03

See you soon!

0:08:040:08:05

THEY SCREAM

0:08:110:08:14

Three people! Three people!

0:08:140:08:16

Well done.

0:08:160:08:17

- Sorry. - Sorry? What are you sorry for?

0:08:170:08:19

That wasn't...

0:08:200:08:23

Who's the wolf, me or Ricky or both?

0:08:230:08:26

Me?!

0:08:260:08:28

-Oh, you're the wolf in sheep's clothing?

-Apparently.

0:08:280:08:30

But isn't that just like a wolf with, like, wool trousers?

0:08:300:08:33

Does it have to be, like, SHEEP sheep?

0:08:330:08:35

I don't know what she means.

0:08:350:08:36

-I think she was just being metaphorical.

-Oh, OK!

0:08:360:08:38

Rate the performances, then challenge other fans, too.

0:08:500:08:53

...now!

0:08:590:09:00

-How many do you have, Rick?

-I have five!

0:09:020:09:05

I have five, too.

0:09:060:09:08

Forget sheep's clothing, try some really wild fashion statements

0:09:100:09:14

with a duo who call themselves the Dublin City Rounders.

0:09:140:09:17

-You have a very unique look.

-Thank you.

-So what would you put me in?

0:09:180:09:22

We basically just throw a whole lot of stuff together

0:09:220:09:24

-and see what looks good.

-Oh, look, she can do it. This is all right!

0:09:240:09:27

-All right, all right.

-And there is the third member of our band.

0:09:270:09:30

Boy George is going to love you!

0:09:300:09:33

-I am Rohan.

-I'm Al.

0:09:350:09:36

I'm the older brother.

0:09:360:09:37

And I'm the younger brother, by eight years!

0:09:370:09:40

Would you believe it?

0:09:400:09:41

We're Irish guys but we grew up in Australia

0:09:410:09:44

so we have this kind of weird hybrid accent

0:09:440:09:47

of, like, Irish and Australian.

0:09:470:09:49

-We're citizens of the world.

-Mm.

0:09:490:09:51

There's no two ways about it,

0:09:560:09:57

the opportunity to be on The Voice UK is absolutely massive.

0:09:570:10:02

We're just going to get out there

0:10:040:10:05

and expose ourselves to as many people as possible

0:10:050:10:08

and see what comes of it.

0:10:080:10:10

Rumblings!

0:10:180:10:20

-The amps.

-The bass.

0:10:210:10:23

It's all about the bass.

0:10:230:10:24

# Nice to meet you, where you been?

0:10:320:10:35

# I could show you incredible things

0:10:350:10:37

# Magic, madness, heaven, sin

0:10:370:10:40

# Saw you there and I thought

0:10:400:10:42

# Oh, my Lord, look at that face

0:10:420:10:44

# You look like my next mistake

0:10:440:10:46

# Love's a game, wanna play?

0:10:460:10:49

# Yeah

0:10:490:10:50

# So it's gonna be forever

0:10:510:10:54

# Or it's gonna go down in flames

0:10:540:10:57

# You can tell me when it's over

0:10:570:10:59

# If the high was worth the pain

0:10:590:11:02

# Got a long list of ex-lovers

0:11:020:11:04

# They'll tell you I'm insane

0:11:040:11:06

# Cos you know I love the players

0:11:060:11:08

# And you love the game

0:11:080:11:11

-# Cos we're young and we're reckless

-# Where you been?

0:11:110:11:14

-# We'll take this way too far

-# Incredible things

0:11:140:11:17

-# It'll leave you breathless

-# Heaven sent

0:11:170:11:19

-# Or with a nasty scar

-# Well, I thought

0:11:190:11:21

# Got a long list of ex-lovers

0:11:210:11:23

# They'll tell you I'm insane

0:11:230:11:26

# But I've got a blank space, baby

0:11:260:11:28

# And I'll write your name. #

0:11:290:11:31

CHEERING

0:11:310:11:34

I don't know what to expect!

0:11:410:11:43

I knew there was two people!

0:11:440:11:45

Hey, wait a second, what are you guys' names?

0:11:450:11:48

-My name is Rohan and this is my brother Al.

-I'm Al.

0:11:480:11:51

We're the Dublin City Rounders.

0:11:510:11:53

CHEERING

0:11:530:11:55

You look fantastic.

0:11:550:11:57

-ROHAN:

-Thank you very much.

0:11:570:11:58

I love your hat.

0:11:580:11:59

-Where are you guys from?

-We're from Dublin, Ireland, yeah.

0:12:000:12:03

The Irish!

0:12:030:12:05

-ROHAN:

-Usually that's followed with, "Then why do you sound Australian?"

0:12:050:12:08

And we follow that with,

0:12:080:12:09

"We lived in Australia, we grew up there as well."

0:12:090:12:11

What part of Australia?

0:12:110:12:13

Sydney and also near Byron Bay, beautiful part of the world, so...

0:12:130:12:16

-No!

-So, listen,

0:12:160:12:18

none of y'all turned around, which is, you know, whatevs.

0:12:180:12:21

But...!

0:12:210:12:23

-You did miss something.

-You did miss something!

0:12:230:12:25

I think a few of the audience might have picked up on this.

0:12:250:12:28

Do you want to give them a little twirl of what you do there?

0:12:280:12:30

He sings half the song like this, and...

0:12:300:12:33

-He was rapping away up there.

-Basically, I stand up here and...

0:12:330:12:37

Then when I'm done I just put this down here.

0:12:400:12:43

-GEORGE:

-It's actually a Stray Cats move,

0:12:430:12:45

- they used to do that. - Nice, nice.

0:12:450:12:48

I haven't seen it done since then, so that's pretty cool.

0:12:480:12:51

I'm upset that I didn't turn around,

0:12:510:12:52

just for the fantastic, like, imagery

0:12:520:12:55

-and the iconography of, like, your whole being.

-Yeah.

0:12:550:12:58

I was trying to...

0:12:580:13:00

It was hard for me to make out, like, what was happening.

0:13:000:13:04

-But I see what was happening.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:13:040:13:06

Now I see it, I get it.

0:13:060:13:07

I didn't get it blindly. It's a whole package.

0:13:070:13:10

Some things you have to be able to see and absorb everything.

0:13:100:13:13

And his hair is just off the charts.

0:13:130:13:16

Thank you very much!

0:13:160:13:17

If I could see you, I probably would have turned as well.

0:13:170:13:21

I thought it was weird.

0:13:210:13:23

-ROHAN:

-He's right. He's not wrong, he's not wrong.

0:13:230:13:26

No, that's... Weird...!

0:13:260:13:29

I don't like the term "weird"

0:13:290:13:30

because that gets used about me all the time.

0:13:300:13:32

- I've been told. - But I think, you know,

0:13:320:13:36

you are an alternative group.

0:13:360:13:38

That's a nicer way of putting it.

0:13:380:13:40

But I also think that it's not really fair to say to somebody,

0:13:400:13:44

"Oh, it's brilliant," if it's not. So...

0:13:440:13:48

Cheers!

0:13:480:13:50

- I won't mince. - I'll stick with weird, eh?!

0:13:500:13:53

I should have stuck with weird.

0:13:530:13:55

There's nothing weird about this(!)

0:13:550:13:57

I just don't think that it's got what it takes, I'm afraid.

0:13:570:14:00

Fair enough.

0:14:000:14:01

I disagree with Paloma, I actually think you have got something.

0:14:010:14:04

- Thank you, George. - I disagree.

0:14:040:14:06

I just think that it's one of those areas.

0:14:060:14:09

And I think the humour in you, you need to be seen.

0:14:090:14:12

And, you know, it just needs to be the right...

0:14:120:14:15

- The full package. - ..song and the right moment,

0:14:150:14:18

but I'm sure people will love you.

0:14:180:14:19

Do you guys dress like that, like, when you go to movies?

0:14:190:14:23

Depends what movie it is, I guess.

0:14:230:14:25

This is our casual look, yeah.

0:14:250:14:27

If it was Pirates Of The Caribbean, would you do that?

0:14:270:14:29

Yeah.

0:14:290:14:30

Thanks so much. It's been an amazing opportunity!

0:14:320:14:35

Hey, wait a second, so how do you do that bass stand thing?

0:14:370:14:40

Yeah, you can try that.

0:14:400:14:41

Someone call an ambulance just in case.

0:14:410:14:43

-PALOMA:

-You guys, I'm so right!

0:14:430:14:45

Man, you're going to put me out of a job!

0:14:480:14:50

CHEERING

0:14:540:14:57

-PALOMA:

-You've become too nice for your own good.

0:15:030:15:06

I've always been nice.

0:15:060:15:07

-Nice is my default setting.

-Nice in a deluded way.

0:15:100:15:14

But you don't have to sing to be a good singer.

0:15:140:15:17

-What?! What was that?

-I said you don't have to have a perfect voice

0:15:170:15:21

to be an interesting singer.

0:15:210:15:23

That's actually very correct.

0:15:230:15:24

I agree - Bob Dylan, but he said something amazing.

0:15:240:15:28

What was that?

0:15:280:15:29

She's a hard woman.

0:15:290:15:31

Have you got some ID, please, mate?

0:15:350:15:37

Nice one, mate. Have a good night, yeah?

0:15:370:15:39

I'm Alaric, I'm 21 and I'm a bouncer.

0:15:390:15:42

What place are you a bouncer for?

0:15:420:15:43

- It's a rock bar. - Right.

0:15:430:15:45

- Metal, rock. It's cool. - Do you ever perform in there?

0:15:450:15:47

No, never performed there.

0:15:470:15:49

It would be cool, it's a really cool place. I like it there, yeah.

0:15:490:15:52

Being a bouncer, you get to see a lot of things,

0:15:520:15:54

you get to meet cool people.

0:15:540:15:55

Evening.

0:15:550:15:56

For the most part, it's a lot of fun!

0:15:560:15:58

So, bouncers can sometimes be quite intimidating.

0:15:590:16:03

- Yeah. - But you seem quite lovely.

0:16:030:16:04

'Every now and then, you have to get someone out,'

0:16:040:16:06

causing trouble or something.

0:16:060:16:08

You're very tall!

0:16:080:16:10

- So... - OK, like, I want to come in.

0:16:100:16:12

OK. No, sorry.

0:16:120:16:14

- Why can't I come in? - Your shoes.

0:16:140:16:16

Are you offending my shoes?

0:16:160:16:18

Sorry, I don't make the rules.

0:16:180:16:19

You just dropped that one on me!

0:16:210:16:23

Being a bouncer, you're faced with some real tough places

0:16:290:16:33

but nothing compares to this.

0:16:330:16:35

It's scary but it's good. It makes me feel alive.

0:16:390:16:42

It's like being at the top of a roller-coaster,

0:16:420:16:44

just about to drop.

0:16:440:16:45

I'm ready, I just want to do it.

0:16:450:16:47

# Tell me his name

0:16:580:17:00

# I want to know

0:17:000:17:03

APPLAUSE

0:17:030:17:06

# The way he looks

0:17:060:17:07

# And where you go

0:17:070:17:11

# I need to see his face

0:17:110:17:13

# I need to understand

0:17:130:17:16

# Why you and I came to an end

0:17:180:17:22

# I let you go

0:17:230:17:27

# I let you fly

0:17:270:17:30

# Why do I keep on asking why?

0:17:300:17:35

# I let you go

0:17:370:17:40

# Now that I found

0:17:400:17:43

# A way to keep somehow

0:17:430:17:49

# More than a broken vow

0:17:500:17:57

# I let you go

0:17:570:18:01

# Now that I found

0:18:010:18:04

# A way to keep somehow

0:18:040:18:10

# More than a broken

0:18:130:18:19

# Vow. #

0:18:190:18:25

CHEERING

0:18:250:18:27

-Go on!

-Oh, my God, two of them!

0:18:350:18:37

How's it going, guys?

0:18:370:18:39

-What's your name?

-My name is Alaric. And 21 and I'm a bouncer.

0:18:410:18:45

CHEERING

0:18:450:18:47

I have to say, it's not what I expected to see when I turned round.

0:18:470:18:50

I mean, you look like somebody from Game Of Thrones.

0:18:500:18:53

LAUGHTER

0:18:530:18:55

-It's amazing!

-Thank you very much.

-First of all, beautiful voice.

0:18:550:18:58

Thank you very much.

0:18:580:19:00

I'm not sure what I would be able to do with you as a singer,

0:19:000:19:04

that's why I didn't turn around.

0:19:040:19:05

But, you know, you clearly could see that everyone in the audience,

0:19:050:19:09

they stood up for you.

0:19:090:19:10

Thank you very much. That's amazing. Thank you.

0:19:100:19:12

ALL CHEER

0:19:120:19:14

Well, have to warn you...

0:19:140:19:16

Paloma said she hates musical theatre!

0:19:160:19:20

-Sorry!

-Which is pretty extreme, but we can see that you don't, right?

0:19:200:19:23

I just personally... Like, it's just not for me.

0:19:230:19:26

-But I'm really sorry because you're really good at it.

-Thank you!

0:19:260:19:29

So what's the ambition? Do you want to go into theatre?

0:19:290:19:33

I don't know, mate. Like...

0:19:330:19:35

LAUGHTER

0:19:350:19:36

"I don't know, mate. Do you know what I mean, geezer?

0:19:360:19:39

"I just like a bit of opera."

0:19:390:19:41

-So what clubs do you bounce at?

-I'm in Camden at the moment.

0:19:420:19:46

Do you go...

0:19:460:19:47

# Get out, now! #

0:19:470:19:49

Yeah!

0:19:490:19:50

# Get out of my place! #

0:19:510:19:53

# I'm telling you to leave! #

0:19:560:19:58

-Can I be honest?

-Yeah.

0:20:010:20:02

So, I'm sitting here listening to you sing,

0:20:020:20:05

and then I'm writing the notes down,

0:20:050:20:07

and then as I am writing it down...

0:20:070:20:10

my arm hits the button!

0:20:100:20:11

-Oh, no!

-I swear to you!

0:20:140:20:16

No, but I think the Lord works in mysterious ways.

0:20:160:20:20

All right!

0:20:200:20:22

Right? Because now you've got Ricky turned, too,

0:20:220:20:26

so I think it's like...

0:20:260:20:28

Yo, I mean, dang, if there was ever, like, a ghost that went, like,

0:20:280:20:32

"We better move your hand and hit that button."

0:20:320:20:35

That's how I felt what happened. You saw my face!

0:20:350:20:38

I was like, "No, I didn't...!"

0:20:380:20:40

But also, like, before that happened,

0:20:410:20:43

Ricky was looking at me going,

0:20:430:20:45

"I really think he's good, I really think he's good."

0:20:450:20:48

And then I was like, "Well, great," and then he, like, went.

0:20:480:20:51

When he saw, he was like - his mind was decided, so...

0:20:510:20:55

-RICKY:

-Also, I don't know what's good and what's not

0:20:550:20:58

in this kind of world,

0:20:580:20:59

but I don't really know what I'm doing anyway. So...

0:20:590:21:02

You either like a voice or you don't, I mean, it's not...

0:21:020:21:05

Exactly, and who am I to get in the way of someone

0:21:050:21:07

that I just knew he was good?

0:21:070:21:09

Right? I really like the voice.

0:21:090:21:11

I turned around for it, and I know that people...will like you.

0:21:110:21:15

And that's halfway to, you know, the final, isn't it, really?

0:21:150:21:18

- Yeah. - But, yeah, well done, mate.

0:21:180:21:20

Thank you, man. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:21:200:21:22

Are we going to say hello?

0:21:220:21:24

He hasn't chosen yet!

0:21:240:21:25

Oh, you have to choose!

0:21:250:21:27

Oh, we're not involved - it's fine.

0:21:270:21:28

Well, yeah, I've made my decision.

0:21:280:21:31

I'm going with Ricky.

0:21:310:21:32

CHEERING

0:21:510:21:53

-I hit the freaking button!

-That was so funny.

-Did you really not hit it?

0:21:530:21:57

I swear that I slipped on the button.

0:21:570:22:00

But he was very likable, though.

0:22:000:22:01

He's really nice.

0:22:010:22:02

He was a likable chap,

0:22:020:22:03

and he was kind of - I love that when you turn around you're like,

0:22:030:22:06

-"Oh, my God, that's not what I was expecting at all."

-Yeah.

0:22:060:22:09

CHEERING

0:22:090:22:11

Come on, big boy!

0:22:110:22:13

Ooh...

0:22:160:22:18

Whoo!

0:22:180:22:20

Ladies and gentlemen, over the next nine hours...

0:22:200:22:24

we shall attempt to find a superstar.

0:22:240:22:26

The next one's going to be it. The next one.

0:22:260:22:29

What if a duck comes out, or the next five are ducks?

0:22:310:22:35

HE CHUCKLES

0:22:350:22:36

Don't worry, Will - no ducks on the way,

0:22:370:22:39

but if you still fancy some feathers,

0:22:390:22:41

our next acts can help out.

0:22:410:22:43

My name is Faheem. I'm 21 years old.

0:22:430:22:46

I love music and my parrots.

0:22:460:22:49

My name's Tim Baldwin.

0:22:500:22:51

I'm 20 years old, from Gloucestershire,

0:22:510:22:53

and I'm an engineer and also a bird keeper.

0:22:530:22:56

Me and my dad keep about 400 birds in our back garden.

0:22:580:23:02

I obviously like to talk to the birds

0:23:020:23:04

and sing to them when I go in there.

0:23:040:23:06

# Dinner time, dinner time

0:23:060:23:07

# What's your dinner time? #

0:23:070:23:09

I think the birds enjoy it. Never had any complaints, anyway.

0:23:090:23:11

I live at home with my two parrots, two cats, a budgie,

0:23:140:23:19

so, yeah, it's quite crazy.

0:23:190:23:20

We've been trying to teach the birds to talk.

0:23:200:23:22

Hello.

0:23:240:23:25

Hello.

0:23:270:23:28

-# It's, oh, so quiet... #

-You say it.

0:23:280:23:32

And I tried to teach Maisie to sing Karma Chameleon, as well.

0:23:320:23:36

# You come and go-oh-oh-oh. #

0:23:360:23:39

-You sing it.

-# Sing it back to me. #

0:23:390:23:42

Say, "Faheem to win The Voice."

0:23:430:23:45

# I don't wanna

0:23:470:23:49

# Talk about it. #

0:23:490:23:52

Yeah. It's not really working.

0:23:520:23:55

I do love looking after birds but, obviously, singing is my dream.

0:23:560:24:00

It's my passion, so I'm going to pursue that as far as I can.

0:24:000:24:03

# And it's like flying without wings

0:24:030:24:07

# Cos you're my special thing

0:24:070:24:11

# I'm flying without wings. #

0:24:110:24:15

# Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

0:24:210:24:24

# I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

0:24:240:24:28

# I fell right through the cracks

0:24:280:24:30

# Now I'm trying to get back

0:24:300:24:34

# Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest

0:24:340:24:37

# Nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention

0:24:370:24:40

# I reckon it's again my turn

0:24:400:24:43

# To win some or learn some

0:24:430:24:47

# But I won't hesitate

0:24:470:24:51

# No more, no more

0:24:510:24:54

# It cannot wait

0:24:540:24:57

# I'm sure

0:24:570:24:59

# Open up your mind and see like me

0:25:000:25:03

# Open up your plans and, damn, you're free

0:25:030:25:07

# Look into your heart and you'll find

-HE WHISTLES

-Should have stuck that in the song!

0:25:400:25:42

Should've. A bit of whistling.

-I can do a pigeon.

-Go for it. Go on.

0:28:130:28:15

Well, I know how to hear freaking awesome tones.

0:28:190:28:23

Sometimes a singer don't even have to sing for 90 seconds.

0:28:230:28:27

They can sing for two seconds for you to know

0:28:270:28:29

if they're freaking awesome or not.

0:28:290:28:31

I thought it was amazing and I feel terrible that I didn't turn.

0:28:510:28:54

-Thank you.

-Sorry about that.

-No, that's absolutely fine.

0:28:540:28:57

-I understand.

-You're amazing.

0:28:570:28:59

Just to sing for all four of you anyway was more than

0:28:590:29:01

I could ask for, so, like,

0:29:010:29:03

honestly, thank you very much.

0:29:030:29:05

What I've learned is the fact that...

0:29:070:29:10

I am a sucker for female voices.

0:29:100:29:11

I really like them and I turn quite a lot for female voices

0:29:110:29:14

so it takes an extraordinary male voice to, like,

0:29:140:29:18

get inside here and make me just go, "This is for me."

0:29:180:29:22

And it takes even more of an extraordinary one to make me

0:29:220:29:24

want to go up against Will, and I...

0:29:240:29:28

I am fighting for this and I'm making a fool of myself, so...

0:29:280:29:31

-And it's all for you.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:29:310:29:34

How am I supposed to choose, like?

0:29:360:29:37

AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT Nah, I...

0:29:370:29:40

Going with Ricky would give you a whole different

0:29:440:29:47

type of experience to add to your Army Swiss knife,

0:29:470:29:50

to have a whole bunch of different styles up in that.

0:29:500:29:52

So going there, awesome styles. You'll get crazy styles there.

0:29:520:29:55

Coming here, I can improve where you're going.

0:29:550:29:58

I don't know if I'm going to give you different styles.

0:29:580:30:01

Going there with Ricky, you added a new blade.

0:30:010:30:03

It all depends, you know what I mean,

0:30:030:30:05

on what you're going to be chopping up in the next couple of months.

0:30:050:30:09

-You feel me?

-I'm...

0:30:090:30:11

-You get what I'm saying?

-Yeah, 100%, I hear what you're saying.

0:30:110:30:14

-Yeah, word up, yeah.

-Thank you for that.

0:30:140:30:16

Like I say, from the bottom of my heart,

0:30:160:30:18

just to even be here was amazing, so the fact that you guys have

0:30:180:30:22

turned around... I mean, two of you have turned around...

0:30:220:30:24

Go for Will - he turned first!

0:30:260:30:28

THEY CHEER

0:30:280:30:30

Er...

0:30:320:30:33

..the coach I'm going to go with...

0:30:350:30:37

..is... I'm going to join...

0:30:400:30:43

..Team will.i.am. Ricky, I apologise.

0:30:450:30:48

Thank you so much.

0:30:480:30:50

Well done, mate.

0:30:530:30:55

THEY CHEER

0:30:590:31:00

-Well done. Congratulations.

-Thank you so much.

0:31:000:31:02

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:020:31:05

Well done.

0:31:100:31:11

I really liked Faheem. I was going up against Will

0:31:180:31:20

and when Will really wants something, he can get it.

0:31:200:31:23

I turned literally two lines in,

0:31:230:31:25

cos the tone of his voice was just immaculate.

0:31:250:31:28

THEY CHEER

0:31:280:31:30

-Are you comfortable, Will?

-Oh, yeah. Of course.

-You're, like...

0:31:330:31:37

-laid-back.

-Oh, you ain't comfortable?

0:31:370:31:41

-Well, I'm wearing a skirt.

-Oh, you're wearing a skirt.

0:31:410:31:45

Be careful of wolves in pink skirts!

0:31:450:31:48

THEY CHUCKLE

0:31:480:31:51

EMMA: Wings of a different variety now, with 17-year-old Sammy-Jo.

0:31:560:32:00

I work as a trainee engineer at Stansted Airport.

0:32:000:32:03

My job is really important because if the power runs out...

0:32:030:32:06

..Stansted Airport will come to a close.

0:32:080:32:10

A general day for me would be getting in, checking my e-mails.

0:32:100:32:14

If we have a fault that day, then we have to go out and sort that out.

0:32:140:32:18

When we're driving from job to job in the airport,

0:32:180:32:20

we're always singing in the vans.

0:32:200:32:22

# Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on

0:32:220:32:25

# You got that feeling that I want... #

0:32:250:32:28

I normally do it, like, messing around.

0:32:280:32:30

I wouldn't really sing properly in front of them.

0:32:300:32:32

-# Ah

-# Ah

0:32:320:32:34

# Trouble, trouble

0:32:340:32:35

# Ah. #

0:32:350:32:37

I've worked so hard to get the job that I'm in but it's not my dream.

0:32:400:32:43

Singing's always been my dream.

0:32:440:32:47

It's really important for me to go out there and give it my all.

0:32:470:32:50

I'm never going to have this experience again in my life,

0:32:500:32:52

so I need to prove that I can do it.

0:32:520:32:55

It's been what I've wanted for so long.

0:32:560:32:58

# I walked into a honky-tonky

0:33:140:33:17

# Just the other day

0:33:170:33:18

# I dropped a nickel in the jukebox

0:33:180:33:21

# Just to hear them play

0:33:210:33:23

# I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose

0:33:230:33:27

# Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the jukebox blues

0:33:270:33:31

# There's a guy over there with an old tin horn

0:33:360:33:38

-# And a fella on an old banjo... #

-Press the button, Will!

0:33:380:33:40

# And the man on the fiddle, he were no slouch

0:33:400:33:42

# He could really drag that bow

0:33:420:33:45

# Well, the man on the fiddle, he must have got tired

0:33:490:33:51

# I didn't hear him say

0:33:510:33:53

# Cos he cut loose on the steel guitar

0:33:530:33:55

# And the jukebox ran away

0:33:550:33:57

# I've played a lot of jukeboxes

0:34:010:34:04

# Most every one in town

0:34:040:34:06

# That's the first tune I've ever heard

0:34:060:34:08

# That can make one dance around

0:34:080:34:10

-# Play the jukebox blues... #

-Ricky!

-Just go bam!

0:34:120:34:15

# Such a rhythm I've never heard

0:34:150:34:17

# I danced out both of my shoes... #

0:34:170:34:21

-Oh!

-Oh, come on!

0:34:210:34:22

# Playing the jukebox blues. #

0:34:220:34:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:240:34:26

-Hey!

-Hello.

-What's your name?

0:34:360:34:40

My name's Sammy-Jo Evans.

0:34:400:34:42

I'm 17, I'm from Essex

0:34:420:34:43

and I'm an electrical fitter at Stansted Airport.

0:34:430:34:46

Amazing!

0:34:460:34:47

So, the country thing -

0:34:500:34:52

tell me about that, cos it was very specific.

0:34:520:34:55

My dad started off with my country influence.

0:34:550:34:58

I like a lot of rockabilly and jive and I used to do musical theatre

0:34:580:35:01

before this but country is what I want to do now.

0:35:010:35:05

Well, you do it very well.

0:35:050:35:06

It's not something that I feel I can contribute anything to.

0:35:060:35:10

You know, I'm always looking for something a bit off the wall.

0:35:100:35:13

What you did was very accomplished.

0:35:130:35:15

I can't say anything bad about it. It was really good.

0:35:150:35:18

You got an amazing reaction from the audience,

0:35:180:35:20

so you obviously did it very well.

0:35:200:35:22

That's what you've chosen to do - it's perfect.

0:35:220:35:24

-It's just not right for me.

-A touch of Loretta Lynn thing in your voice.

0:35:240:35:27

-Did you just butt in?

-Sorry.

0:35:270:35:29

AUDIENCE EXCLAIM

0:35:290:35:31

-Getting my own back from earlier.

-Palaver...

0:35:310:35:34

Well done. I mean, you know, it wasn't right for me and, you know,

0:35:360:35:39

I'm building my team and it just wasn't the right sound for me

0:35:390:35:42

-but you do it great.

-Thank you.

0:35:420:35:44

APPLAUSE

0:35:440:35:46

I thought it was excellent and George is exactly right.

0:35:480:35:51

It was really accomplished. You couldn't really fault it.

0:35:510:35:53

You have a voice like crystal but you have a voice, like...

0:35:530:35:57

It was kind of an impression because it wasn't your voice, cos...

0:35:570:36:00

But it just wasn't for me today. That's the only reason.

0:36:010:36:05

Thank you anyway.

0:36:050:36:06

-PALOMA:

-I actually don't think that was, er...

0:36:060:36:08

I thought that was very constructive criticism,

0:36:080:36:11

in the sense that I actually started out singing myself by, like,

0:36:110:36:16

impersonating singers that I like.

0:36:160:36:17

But when I started to write my own songs,

0:36:170:36:20

then all those influences piled in and then after a while,

0:36:200:36:25

I started to find my own voice that made me

0:36:250:36:28

different from those people and the next stage would be to try

0:36:280:36:32

and write and think about how you can be you.

0:36:320:36:35

OK. Thank you very much.

0:36:350:36:37

I actually... Because you...

0:36:370:36:39

Rick, you made it sound like I thought it was an impersonation.

0:36:390:36:41

-I actually didn't...

-No, no, not at all.

-OK, just getting that clear.

0:36:410:36:44

I didn't think you were impersonating anyone.

0:36:440:36:46

I think, you know, you're 17. Your voice is always going to develop.

0:36:460:36:50

You know, that wasn't a criticism. I don't think you sound like anyone.

0:36:500:36:53

Also, country has a sound and you've just said that's what you

0:36:530:36:56

want to do, so go and do it and I hope you get better and better.

0:36:560:36:59

-Thank you.

-You look lovely!

0:36:590:37:01

APPLAUSE

0:37:010:37:03

Yeah, I have to agree - like,

0:37:030:37:05

country does have a unique twang to it.

0:37:050:37:09

You sound like YOU.

0:37:090:37:11

I don't know what people mean by, like, "That's not your voice."

0:37:110:37:15

-Well, why didn't you turn your chair?

-I didn't turn my chair...

0:37:150:37:19

So many different styles of genres come out,

0:37:220:37:24

but that style of music belongs on the show, so I apologise.

0:37:240:37:28

That's OK. Thank you.

0:37:280:37:29

There's nothing better than commitment to a style and a sound

0:37:310:37:34

and by doing that, you are just going to get better and better.

0:37:340:37:37

Thank you.

0:37:370:37:39

-Thank you. It's pretty intense, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:37:430:37:48

-You did really well.

-Thank you.

-It was great.

0:37:480:37:51

Thank you. Thank you.

0:37:510:37:54

-Amazing.

-Thank you.

0:37:540:37:56

APPLAUSE

0:37:560:37:58

Wahey!

0:38:020:38:04

George and Paloma operate with no filters, so when you have

0:38:100:38:13

people that have no filters,

0:38:130:38:15

sometimes there's going to be chemicals that mix.

0:38:150:38:18

It's a laboratory and things explode.

0:38:180:38:21

# Saturday night's all right for fighting

0:38:210:38:25

# Saturday night's all right... #

0:38:250:38:27

Like myself, Paloma doesn't always think about

0:38:270:38:29

what she says before she says it.

0:38:290:38:31

That can kind of cause quite interesting conflict.

0:38:310:38:34

Sometimes I clash with George a little bit.

0:38:380:38:41

She's lying.

0:38:410:38:43

I think it's because we're quite similar.

0:38:450:38:49

But she's also got very thick skin

0:38:490:38:50

so she gets over stuff really easily, so...

0:38:500:38:53

I don't. I hold a grudge!

0:38:530:38:57

# You've got to fight For your right... #

0:38:580:39:01

Some of the tensions that were going on - it's just natural.

0:39:010:39:04

I've been in a band for 15 years with the same people

0:39:040:39:06

and we have to share buses and stuff and there's a time when you

0:39:060:39:09

walk away and sit in another part of the bus or, you know...

0:39:090:39:12

It's like a pressure cooker.

0:39:120:39:14

Things happen.

0:39:150:39:17

-PALOMA:

-That's what happens with strong personalities,

0:39:180:39:21

and we're all very emotionally invested in the show.

0:39:210:39:24

Basically, sometimes the other coaches get on your nerves.

0:39:240:39:28

It's a little awkward!

0:39:290:39:30

-MARVIN:

-Competitive coaches!

0:39:340:39:35

But, unaware of the tension, welcome, J Sealy.

0:39:350:39:38

I absolutely love music, you know. It's a passion,

0:39:380:39:42

and it doesn't feel like work. I get up and I'm just enjoying my life.

0:39:420:39:47

In 2014, I woke up on a Saturday morning

0:39:470:39:51

and I heard my left ear close. I couldn't hear anything.

0:39:510:39:55

It was vertigo and I basically lost my hearing.

0:39:550:39:58

I went deaf in my left ear.

0:39:580:40:00

I've had to adapt everything I do in terms of sound to one ear.

0:40:000:40:04

Right now, I feel so great about life.

0:40:060:40:08

I just feel so great about myself. This is an amazing opportunity.

0:40:080:40:13

I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to take it to the next level.

0:40:130:40:16

Go on, J! Yes!

0:40:170:40:19

# I would have given you all of my heart

0:40:280:40:33

# But there's someone who's torn it apart

0:40:340:40:38

# And she's taken just all that I had

0:40:400:40:44

# But if you want I'll try to love again

0:40:450:40:49

# Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

0:40:510:40:56

# The first cut is the deepest

0:40:580:41:02

# Baby, I know

0:41:020:41:04

# The first cut is the deepest

0:41:040:41:08

# But when it come to being lucky, she's cursed

0:41:090:41:14

# When it come to loving me she's worst

0:41:150:41:19

# I still want you by my side... # THEY CHEER

0:41:210:41:25

# Just to help me dry these tears that I've cried

0:41:270:41:32

# Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

0:41:320:41:36

# The first cut is the deepest

0:41:390:41:44

# Whoa-oh, oh

0:41:440:41:46

# The first love is the deepest

0:41:460:41:50

# And when it comes to loving me, she's worst

0:41:500:41:54

# But if you want, I'll try, yeah. #

0:41:560:42:02

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:020:42:04

-First of all, what's your name?

-My name is J Sealy.

0:42:180:42:21

I am 43 years old.

0:42:210:42:23

That's my mum's favourite song right there, so I'm glad.

0:42:230:42:27

I appreciate you turning. Thank you very much. It's a beautiful thing.

0:42:270:42:31

-And do you know who sang the original?

-Er, Cat Stevens.

0:42:310:42:35

And then Rod Stewart.

0:42:350:42:37

-Yes.

-And then more people just brought this thing to life.

0:42:370:42:40

-It's beautiful.

-You have a beautiful vibrato in your voice.

-Thank you.

0:42:400:42:43

-You've got great chops.

-Appreciated.

0:42:430:42:45

A great soul voice and there's a great

0:42:450:42:47

vulnerability in your voice, so we've got something to work with.

0:42:470:42:50

-Very happy to have you on my team.

-Oh, me too. Thank you very much!

0:42:500:42:53

Whoo!

0:42:530:42:54

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:540:42:57

JC, yeah, it was incredible.

0:43:000:43:02

You could tell you poured a lot of emotion into that

0:43:020:43:04

and it was really coming across and it's great when you hear

0:43:040:43:07

someone that understands a song, connects with it,

0:43:070:43:09

and that's what the next round's all about, I suppose, so well done.

0:43:090:43:12

-You've got through.

-Thank you. Appreciate that.

0:43:120:43:15

I think with you and George,

0:43:190:43:21

you've already got a natural soul voice and a soulful soul.

0:43:210:43:27

I think George can help you fine-tune that

0:43:270:43:30

and you'll be a threat in this competition. We just don't...

0:43:300:43:34

-We didn't see that but George saw that.

-Absolutely. Thank you.

0:43:340:43:37

Appreciate that. Thank you.

0:43:370:43:39

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:390:43:41

-Great.

-Very happy. I'm just getting tall people. Have you noticed?

0:43:450:43:49

-You'll have to get a bigger hat.

-Exactly.

0:43:490:43:51

THEY SQUEAL

0:43:510:43:53

Yeah, he can really sing. He's a real singer. I love that.

0:43:570:44:00

We're going to sit back and let our next act talk.

0:44:000:44:03

It's what he does best.

0:44:030:44:05

My name's Steve Devereaux.

0:44:050:44:06

I'm 60 years old

0:44:060:44:08

and I'm from Kenley in Surrey.

0:44:080:44:10

It's quite a voice you've got there, Steve.

0:44:100:44:12

-Well, there we are, you see.

-So, what do you do?

0:44:120:44:14

You would have heard of this little station called CBeebies.

0:44:140:44:17

-24/7 in my house.

-It's a life-saver, isn't it?

0:44:170:44:20

Well, on that, I'm very happy to be part of

0:44:200:44:24

a production called Chuggington.

0:44:240:44:25

-Oh!

-Yeah!

0:44:250:44:27

-BOTH:

-# Chuggington

0:44:270:44:29

# Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, Chuggington

0:44:290:44:31

# Chuggington

0:44:310:44:33

# Chugga-chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga-chugga. #

0:44:330:44:36

But you know, I go to sleep with that song in my head sometimes.

0:44:360:44:39

I wake up to it.

0:44:390:44:40

But for me, it's great that I get to play a character called Howie.

0:44:400:44:43

Oh, dear.

0:44:430:44:45

-AS HOWIE:

-And Howie, he talks like that.

0:44:450:44:46

If you're wondering, "Is it really him?", yes, it is.

0:44:460:44:49

Where The Voice could take me is

0:44:510:44:53

somewhere where I've actually always wanted to be.

0:44:530:44:55

And that is to work with music.

0:44:550:44:58

That would be a form of earthly heaven.

0:44:580:45:01

-SHE SQUEALS

-Oh, he's looking sharp, isn't he?

0:45:030:45:05

Mm-mm!

0:45:150:45:16

So who are we talking?

0:45:160:45:19

A-ha!

0:45:190:45:20

# She gets too hungry

0:45:210:45:24

# For dinner at eight

0:45:250:45:27

# She likes the theatre

0:45:290:45:32

# But never comes late... #

0:45:320:45:35

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

0:45:350:45:36

# She never bothers

0:45:360:45:38

# With people she hates

0:45:380:45:42

# That's why the lady is a tramp

0:45:420:45:46

# She likes the free, fresh

0:45:480:45:53

# Wind in her hair

0:45:530:45:55

# Life without care

0:45:550:45:58

# She's flat

0:46:000:46:01

# That's that

0:46:010:46:02

# Hates California

0:46:030:46:06

# Cold, oh, damp

0:46:060:46:09

# That's why the lady....

0:46:110:46:14

HE SCATS

0:46:140:46:15

# She won't have crap games

0:46:180:46:21

# With sharpies and frauds

0:46:210:46:24

# Won't go to Harlem

0:46:240:46:28

# In Lincolns and Fords

0:46:280:46:31

# Don't dish that dirt Don't dish that dirt

0:46:310:46:35

# With the rest of the broads

0:46:350:46:38

# That's why the lady is a tramp. #

0:46:380:46:45

Thank you!

0:46:460:46:48

CHEERING

0:46:480:46:49

-RICKY:

-All right, mate?

0:46:580:46:59

Thank you.

0:46:590:47:00

-I've found my father figure!

-Oh, at last!

0:47:000:47:04

I'm so happy.

0:47:040:47:06

-Well, I'm pretty happy, too.

-You know what?

0:47:060:47:08

You've got the most beautiful tone and I'm such a big fan of, like,

0:47:080:47:12

Frank Sinatra and all that, that as soon as I heard it

0:47:120:47:16

and the way you held it, you didn't wobble from it

0:47:160:47:19

and it was just like going back in time, and I just love that.

0:47:190:47:23

Like, I wish... You know, Will's in the future, well, I'm in the past.

0:47:230:47:27

-RICKY:

-Paloma, I wonder what his name is?

0:47:270:47:29

-Where does that put Boy George?

-Sorry, what's your name?

0:47:290:47:32

I was too excited. Apart from Daddy.

0:47:320:47:35

I think we're going to quit the story right now

0:47:350:47:37

before we get into deep trouble.

0:47:370:47:39

My name is Steve Devereux.

0:47:390:47:41

I am 60 years old. I am from London, born in Stoke Newington.

0:47:410:47:46

-Wow.

-All right?

0:47:460:47:49

And I do voice-overs to make a crust.

0:47:490:47:53

- Anything we'd have heard? - Listen to his voice!

0:47:530:47:55

What voice-overs can you do?

0:47:550:47:57

Well, you want a voice-over?

0:47:570:47:59

I'll tell you what, imagine this television series was a film.

0:47:590:48:02

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:48:020:48:04

In a world...

0:48:040:48:05

where singing is everything...

0:48:050:48:07

in a place called...

0:48:070:48:10

Manchester...

0:48:100:48:12

and a tricky guy named Ricky

0:48:340:48:37

sit in chairs, finally...

0:48:370:48:41

You do it better, sorry.

0:48:410:48:43

Can you just do the end bit again? Just do the end.

0:48:430:48:48

Start again. Go on.

In a world where there's four coaches...

0:48:490:48:53

-I just picked you!

-PALOMA:

-Yes!

-Come on, then.

0:49:080:49:09

Thank you.

0:49:110:49:13

-Lovely to meet you.

-You too.

0:49:170:49:18

You could rap like that. You just have to rhyme it.

0:49:200:49:22

# Ain't nothing I can't fix

0:49:220:49:24

# Cos I can do it in the mix

# That's why the lady... #

0:49:400:49:42

-PALOMA:

-I loved his voice.

0:49:420:49:43

I just shouldn't turn now for a while.

0:49:430:49:45

You did it!

0:49:450:49:47

-Josh.

-You just rapped with will.i.am, lad.

0:49:510:49:54

Team Paloma invite

0:49:540:49:57

everyone else to bring it on.

0:49:570:50:00

Devereux has joined Faith.

0:50:000:50:02

Faith and Devereux.

0:50:020:50:05

Watch out.

0:50:050:50:06

Oh, stop it, Steve.

0:50:080:50:09

Make way for our next act, straight from the home of pop.

0:50:090:50:12

It's "our kid", Lester.

0:50:120:50:14

I'm Lester Preston Jr, I'm 33, from Liverpool.

0:50:140:50:17

I've got two main passions in my life -

0:50:170:50:19

singing and Everton Football Club.

0:50:190:50:22

On a match day, my dad will come round

0:50:220:50:23

and I'll cook him a bacon butty and a cup of tea.

0:50:230:50:25

Come on, lad, I'm starving here.

0:50:250:50:27

Tea will be gone before I get my butty.

0:50:270:50:29

I've got a great relationship with my dad,

0:50:290:50:31

apart from the fact that he supports Liverpool and I support Everton.

0:50:310:50:34

You're enjoying that cup, there, lad?

0:50:340:50:35

-Eh?

-Why?

-That's the only cup you're going to get this season.

0:50:350:50:38

Oh, is that right?

0:50:380:50:39

He thinks he's a know-it-all

0:50:390:50:41

in his Liverpool shirt.

0:50:410:50:43

He shouldn't be wearing Liverpool shirts,

0:50:430:50:45

especially not with your little beer belly neither.

0:50:450:50:47

Nothing wrong with that belly, mate.

0:50:470:50:49

Excited about the game.

0:50:490:50:51

Come on, lad, come on!

0:50:510:50:53

I go watching Everton as much as I possibly can...

0:50:530:50:56

The Blues!

0:50:560:50:57

..with my good mate Bri.

0:50:570:51:00

If you cut my blood, it would run blue, so if Martinez is listening,

0:51:000:51:03

give me a free season ticket.

0:51:030:51:05

CROWD ROARS

0:51:050:51:07

This is the biggest opportunity I've ever had in my life.

0:51:100:51:13

I'm hoping to go on and do Liverpool proud today.

0:51:160:51:19

I come from a city that's got great musical influences

0:51:190:51:22

and I want to be up there with the rest of them.

0:51:220:51:25

# Somebody said you've got a new friend

0:51:400:51:44

# But does he love you better than I can?

0:51:480:51:52

# There's a big, black sky over my town

0:51:560:52:00

# I know where you're at, I bet he's around

0:52:040:52:08

# Stilettos and broken bottles

0:52:120:52:16

# I'm spinning around in circles

0:52:160:52:20

# I'm in the corner, watching you kiss him, oh-oh

0:52:200:52:26

# I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh-oh

0:52:280:52:35

# I'm giving it my all, I'm not the guy you're taking... #

0:52:360:52:40

Come on, Ricky!

0:52:400:52:42

# Ooh, I keep dancing on my own... #

0:52:430:52:48

THEY CHEER

0:52:510:52:54

# But still so near

0:52:540:52:56

# The lights go on

0:52:560:52:58

# The music dies

0:52:580:53:00

# You don't see me standing here

0:53:000:53:04

# I just came to say goodbye. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:53:100:53:13

-PALOMA:

-Ohh!

0:53:220:53:25

Hi, there, what's your name?

0:53:250:53:26

I'm Lester Preston Jr from Liverpool, 33.

0:53:260:53:30

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:53:300:53:33

You've got that sort of George Clooney sexiness.

0:53:330:53:37

Why didn't you turn, then?

0:53:370:53:38

-LAUGHTER

-Cos I couldn't see through...

0:53:380:53:40

I know, fair do's.

0:53:400:53:42

-RICKY:

-Mate, the thing is,

0:53:440:53:46

I enjoyed it and Will thought it was aimed at me and that kind of thing,

0:53:460:53:49

because obviously I had some success last year with a guy called Stevie,

0:53:490:53:53

but I think I've explored all the options in that arena.

0:53:530:53:57

-I was looking forward to working with you as well, Ricky.

-Sorry, man.

0:53:570:54:00

-PALOMA:

-Aww!

-Hello, Will, what's happening?

0:54:000:54:02

Um, the reason why I didn't turn was because that statement,

0:54:020:54:05

certain matches, perfect matches -

0:54:050:54:08

I was gutted that Ricky didn't turn.

0:54:080:54:10

-Yeah, me too.

-So we're aligned there.

0:54:100:54:14

And if I would have turned,

0:54:160:54:17

you wouldn't have picked me, even if I'd turned by myself.

0:54:170:54:22

-LAUGHTER

-That would really suck, right?

0:54:220:54:24

Imagine that - I'm the only one, you're like, "But I don't want you."

0:54:240:54:28

LAUGHTER

0:54:280:54:31

I think you should definitely keep going

0:54:310:54:33

and keep singing,

0:54:330:54:34

but I didn't feel like I could help that style of singer.

0:54:340:54:40

Yep, no worries, all right, cheers, thank you.

0:54:400:54:42

APPLAUSE

0:54:420:54:45

Hey, man.

0:54:480:54:50

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:54:530:54:55

-I thought Ricky was going to turn.

-Did you?

0:55:090:55:11

You always say that, though, and it puts me off.

0:55:110:55:13

The rocker even said so.

0:55:130:55:14

Well, it always puts me off when you say, "This is for you,"

0:55:140:55:17

cos it makes me just go, "I don't want it."

0:55:170:55:19

-I love Ricky's rocking reputation.

-I have got a rocking reputation.

0:55:190:55:22

-Rockin' Ricky Wilson.

-Cos he was like...

0:55:220:55:24

I mean, all the rockers in the world are like,

0:55:240:55:26

"How come Ricky's not turning for us?"

0:55:260:55:28

I know, that puts pressure on me and I don't want to turn.

0:55:280:55:31

That's whack.

0:55:310:55:33

The thing about Will is, we're not best pals,

0:55:330:55:35

we don't go on barging holidays.

0:55:350:55:38

A barge.

0:55:380:55:39

It might be a great reality show.

0:55:390:55:41

The Voice - Barging.

0:55:420:55:44

First of all, I'm not a big fan of barges.

0:55:470:55:49

MUSIC: Messing About On The River by Josh Macrae

0:55:490:55:53

Cuts to a canal, beautiful canal. Here comes a barge.

0:55:530:55:56

"George!" "Hi, Rick."

0:55:560:55:59

"Permission to come aboard, sir."

0:55:590:56:01

"Of course, the more, the merrier."

0:56:010:56:03

"And then the other one, Paloma."

0:56:030:56:05

Wow.

0:56:050:56:07

PALOMA CHUCKLES

0:56:070:56:08

It's cold and I can't swim and they're going to make fun of me

0:56:080:56:11

and shake the boat and I'm going to get all freaked out.

0:56:110:56:13

"Aye-aye, skipper!"

0:56:130:56:14

-He's really the captain?

-Yeah!

0:56:140:56:17

I'd rather just ride a bike on the land watching them have a barge.

0:56:170:56:21

Well, there'd be a dog involved.

0:56:220:56:24

DOG YELPS

0:56:240:56:26

We might get along.

0:56:260:56:27

No.

0:56:270:56:29

Maybe for, like, a day.

0:56:290:56:30

I think longer than a day would be a disaster.

0:56:300:56:33

I think I'm going to skip this holiday,

0:56:330:56:36

sun myself somewhere hot instead.

0:56:360:56:38

Well, that was random, wasn't it?

0:56:420:56:44

Let's get some glam into the proceedings.

0:56:440:56:47

This necklace - got it in a charity shop.

0:56:470:56:49

Wasn't cheap, for charity, but quite chuffed with that.

0:56:490:56:53

And my top - catalogue.

0:56:530:56:54

It's Valerie Bacon from Southport.

0:56:550:56:58

'Been married 35 years.'

0:56:590:57:00

Oh, it's my favourite programme, Arthur.

0:57:000:57:03

My husband is very good.

0:57:030:57:04

He's very good, he does look after me.

0:57:040:57:06

We've both got a turner for the telly,

0:57:060:57:08

but his is more powerful than mine.

0:57:080:57:10

I watch House Under The Hammer.

0:57:110:57:13

Don't you mean Homes Under The Hammer?

0:57:130:57:14

I think you could be right.

0:57:140:57:16

I think he's taken the batteries out of it, to be honest with you.

0:57:170:57:20

His favourite programmes are always murder mysteries.

0:57:200:57:23

I'm sure he's learning how to kill me.

0:57:230:57:25

Oh, dear.

0:57:270:57:28

-Good evening.

-AUDIENCE: Good evening.

0:57:280:57:30

-Everybody OK?

-AUDIENCE: Yes.

0:57:300:57:32

I perform every weekend now in Blackpool and I just love it.

0:57:320:57:35

If people don't like the singing, I throw a few jokes in, you know.

0:57:350:57:38

..so get your own blanket.

0:57:380:57:39

LAUGHTER

0:57:390:57:42

I've never told her, but I'm very, very proud of her.

0:57:430:57:46

She's the life and soul of the party.

0:57:460:57:48

I wouldn't change her, no.

0:57:480:57:49

At the minute.

0:57:490:57:50

WHOOPING

0:57:500:57:53

Well, I've always watched The Voice and loved it, but I said,

0:57:570:58:00

"Oh, I don't know, it's all kids.

0:58:000:58:01

"Don't want anybody my age there, do they?"

0:58:010:58:03

My husband said, "Oh, go!"

0:58:030:58:05

I said, "All right, then, I'll go.

0:58:050:58:06

"But if I can't park the car

0:58:060:58:07

"and I've got to stand around in the rain, I'm coming home."

0:58:070:58:11

THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

-PALOMA:

-Oh, hello!

1:00:041:00:06

Hiya!

1:00:061:00:08

-Hello.

-You look fabulous.

-Thank you.

-I love your necklace.

1:00:081:00:11

-What's your name?

-My name is Valerie.

1:00:111:00:14

-And where did you come from today?

-I come from a place called Southport.

1:00:141:00:17

CHEERING

1:00:171:00:19

That was a wonderful performance.

1:00:191:00:21

What made you decide to be here at The Voice?

1:00:211:00:23

It's my last chance.

1:00:231:00:24

-No!

-Cos I am 70. 70, you see, so there we are.

1:00:241:00:29

CHEERING

1:00:291:00:30

It's never your last chance until you decide it's your last chance,

1:00:321:00:35

and I strongly urge you not to make that decision tonight,

1:00:351:00:37

because you need to keep on singing because you entertain people

1:00:371:00:40

and this crowd were entertained.

1:00:401:00:42

-Yes, yes.

-WHOOPING

1:00:421:00:43

Whoa!

1:00:431:00:45

Do you perform usually?

1:00:491:00:50

- Yes, I do, yes. - So you're a veteran singer?

1:00:501:00:53

Yes, yes, I perform anywhere if the money's right.

1:00:531:00:55

LAUGHTER

1:00:551:00:57

- I love that song. - Yes.

1:00:591:01:01

But I guess I'm looking for something

1:01:011:01:03

- a little bit more contemporary. - Yes.

1:01:031:01:06

But I love the song.

1:01:061:01:07

It reminds you of Cilla Black, doesn't it?

1:01:071:01:09

- Cilla Black was amazing. - Yes.

1:01:091:01:11

-May she rest in peace.

-Oh, yes.

1:01:111:01:14

That's why I sang it, that's why I sang it.

1:01:141:01:16

I could tell that you've done this before.

1:01:171:01:20

You sounded like a veteran, you've got a good pair of chops.

1:01:201:01:23

You look great.

1:01:231:01:24

Big girl, big set of lungs, that's what it is.

1:01:241:01:27

You know, I was hoping and praying

1:01:271:01:29

I'd have got a fella to turn for me tonight.

1:01:291:01:31

LAUGHTER

1:01:311:01:32

I thought, "I've never had a fella turn for me before in my life!"

1:01:351:01:39

-LAUGHTER

-I wouldn't be much good to you, babe.

1:01:391:01:41

You never know!

1:01:411:01:42

We could, like, swap make-up.

1:01:441:01:46

That's right!

1:01:461:01:47

- Yes! - I have to say,

1:01:471:01:49

you look amazing for 70!

1:01:491:01:51

- A bit of a Liz Taylor thing. - That's right!

1:01:511:01:54

- One of my favourites. - Yes.

1:01:551:01:57

-Hello, Will.

-Hello, how are you?

1:01:571:01:59

-Very well, thank you.

-My grandma would love that necklace.

1:01:591:02:02

Would she? Charity shop.

1:02:021:02:04

LAUGHTER

1:02:041:02:06

I'll be putting it back next week.

1:02:071:02:09

-BOY GEORGE:

-You're a great comedian, is that what you do as well?

1:02:111:02:13

- Yes. - You do that?

1:02:131:02:15

You've done this before, you're just too good.

1:02:151:02:18

I'm not very good at tap dancing, though, I'm afraid.

1:02:181:02:21

-I've tried.

-Kept falling in the sink.

1:02:211:02:24

LAUGHTER

1:02:241:02:25

I've got a feeling that the reason why you look so great for 70

1:02:261:02:30

is because you keep singing, so I'd continue doing that.

1:02:301:02:33

It's wonderful and inspiring that you came today, thank you.

1:02:331:02:35

- Thank you very much. - God bless you.

1:02:351:02:37

-Oh, hey!

-That's it.

1:02:401:02:42

SHE LAUGHS

1:02:441:02:46

-Let's do a quick selfie, come on.

-Everybody, get in.

1:02:461:02:48

-VALERIE:

-He wants to copy my make-up.

-I can't see.

1:02:481:02:51

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

1:02:511:02:53

Waay!

1:02:581:03:00

That's so sad when they say, "It's my last chance."

1:03:011:03:05

I've said that a few times.

1:03:051:03:07

Time for us all to raise our game now

1:03:111:03:13

with 16-year-old Heather from Bracknell.

1:03:131:03:16

I'm doing A levels in politics, RS, music and music tech.

1:03:161:03:20

I've been a member of Mensa for about, I think, six years now.

1:03:211:03:25

Mensa is basically an organisation that contains the top 2%

1:03:251:03:30

of intelligent adults.

1:03:301:03:32

EMMA: I'd love to do a little quiz with you.

1:03:321:03:34

- This is like The Voice Mastermind. - OK.

1:03:341:03:36

I'm around the same kind of point with my IQ as Albert Einstein

1:03:381:03:43

and Stephen Hawking, which I don't actually believe, but apparently so.

1:03:431:03:48

What is the next number in the series?

1:03:481:03:50

I have a little knack for puzzles,

1:04:001:04:02

conundrums, riddles and stuff.

1:04:021:04:05

1,597.

1:04:051:04:12

Yes!

1:04:131:04:15

Genius!

1:04:151:04:16

I'd love to have a big career in the music industry,

1:04:171:04:21

to perform loads and to gig loads.

1:04:211:04:23

It is just such a big opportunity,

1:04:241:04:27

to actually sing in front of four people

1:04:271:04:29

that are so well known

1:04:291:04:31

and absolutely amazing in the music industry.

CHEERING

1:06:191:06:21

THEY SCREAM

1:06:261:06:29

Hi!

1:06:361:06:37

-Hello, what's your name?

-Hi, I'm Heather and I'm 16.

1:06:391:06:42

Heather and 16!

1:06:421:06:43

CHEERING

1:06:431:06:44

So, Heather, are you still at school?

1:06:451:06:48

Yeah, I'm a student, I've just started lower sixth,

1:06:481:06:51

-so A levels.

-A levels?

-Yeah.

-Worst days of my life.

1:06:511:06:55

LAUGHTER I know!

1:06:551:06:56

So that's why you need to become a singer?

1:06:561:06:58

-Exactly! Quit school and...

-Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

1:06:581:07:01

Stay in school, kids.

1:07:031:07:05

(Become a rock star!)

1:07:051:07:06

-Anyway, well done.

-Thank you.

1:07:071:07:09

-Obviously, there were some issues with control there.

-Yeah.

1:07:091:07:12

It's nice to be vulnerable, but I liked it.

1:07:121:07:15

-Thank you very much.

-I think you've got great potential.

1:07:151:07:17

-Thank you.

-It gives me a chance to show off my Bowie tattoo.

1:07:171:07:22

Obviously, you know, I'm a massive Bowie fan.

1:07:221:07:25

I saw Bowie when I was 11 years old

1:07:251:07:27

at Lewisham Odeon and it was the beginning of me

1:07:271:07:30

wanting to be a musician and I'm always pleased

1:07:301:07:33

when I hear someone really young singing a Bowie song,

1:07:331:07:36

cos that's a mark of good taste.

1:07:361:07:38

Thank you very much.

1:07:381:07:40

APPLAUSE

1:07:401:07:42

I'm so happy Ricky and George turned for you

1:07:421:07:46

-and welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

1:07:461:07:48

I think you know

1:07:481:07:50

the areas that your potential coach is going to help you fine-tune

1:07:501:07:54

-and I wish you the best.

-Thank you.

1:07:541:07:57

Over to Paloma.

1:07:571:07:59

Well done.

1:07:591:08:00

It was definitely a really nice gravel and tone and softness

1:08:001:08:04

and everything to the way you sang

1:08:041:08:07

and I think once you build your confidence hopefully over the show,

1:08:071:08:11

we'll start seeing some more exciting performances from you.

1:08:111:08:15

-Thank you.

-The thing is -

1:08:151:08:17

this is a barbed compliment in a way -

1:08:171:08:19

we haven't turned for a lot better singers in the competition,

1:08:191:08:23

but there's not been as many personalities like you.

1:08:231:08:25

-Thank you.

-That was the reason, cos George went

1:08:251:08:28

and I thought it's one of those moments

1:08:281:08:30

where I wasn't going to let him get away with it.

1:08:301:08:33

Like he ever does!

1:08:351:08:38

He's the doe-eyed killer.

1:08:381:08:40

He has to be watched.

1:08:401:08:41

He has very smooth ways, I don't know what he does.

1:08:411:08:44

-It's his look, I think.

-Yeah?

1:08:441:08:46

He just gives everyone a look. AUDIENCE WHOOPS

1:08:461:08:49

You're 16 - did your mother not warn you?

1:08:491:08:52

LAUGHTER

1:08:521:08:53

-So are we pitching?

-PALOMA:

-Yeah.

1:08:531:08:56

-RICKY:

-Go for it.

-Let the pitches begin!

1:08:561:08:58

I think you're definitely quirky.

1:08:581:09:01

And I'm definitely the king of quirk.

1:09:011:09:03

A lot of the young people have been going for Ricky

1:09:031:09:06

because he won last year, and that's a bit like, you know,

1:09:061:09:10

going for the fur coat before you've done the work.

1:09:101:09:12

But I think when you're young, it's always impressive if you make

1:09:121:09:15

brave moves, and I would definitely feel myself to be a brave move.

1:09:151:09:20

-I have a lot of experience.

-Yeah.

1:09:201:09:22

I've had dinner with Bowie.

1:09:221:09:24

LAUGHTER

1:09:241:09:26

-Ricky's turn.

-George would certainly keep you in check.

1:09:261:09:31

George has sold millions of records. Hundreds of millions of records.

1:09:311:09:34

150 million, to be precise. Sorry.

1:09:341:09:36

150 million records, and this is his first year doing this. He's got a lot to offer.

1:09:371:09:41

Everyone always says, "I would do this with you, I would do that with you,

1:09:411:09:44

"I would turn you into this. This is what you should be."

1:09:441:09:47

My job, I think, would be just to find out what really you wanted.

1:09:471:09:50

-Yeah.

-That's kind of my pitch.

1:09:501:09:52

It's all about you now, it's not about what

1:09:521:09:55

-we want to project onto you.

-Thank you.

1:09:551:09:58

-Those are two good pitches.

-I know!

1:09:581:10:00

Two good pitches. Who are you going to choose?

1:10:001:10:03

I... I think...

1:10:051:10:07

-I kind of had an idea before I came out here.

-Who was it?

-I can't say!

1:10:091:10:13

But I'm very glad that he turned, so... Yeah.

1:10:131:10:18

I think... I admire you both so unbelievably much.

1:10:211:10:24

But I think the person I am going to go for is...

1:10:261:10:29

Boy George.

1:10:331:10:34

CHEERING

1:10:341:10:36

I wasn't expecting you...

1:10:401:10:43

-Thank you. I'm so sorry.

-Don't apologise!

-Thank you very much.

1:10:461:10:49

-There are no wrong decisions on this show.

-Thank you very much.

1:10:491:10:52

-Everyone wins.

-PALOMA:

-You were brilliant.

1:10:521:10:54

Literally, I could not have read that.

1:10:541:10:56

She was staring down my eyes when she said,

1:10:561:10:58

"The person I'm going to choose is..."

1:10:581:11:00

-PALOMA:

-I love her personality.

1:11:001:11:02

-I could not have read that.

-There is definitely something in there with her voice.

1:11:051:11:09

-PALOMA:

-I love her character.

1:11:091:11:10

Boy George.

1:11:151:11:17

-So that's who you wanted before you even got out there?

-Exactly.

1:11:171:11:21

-Congratulations.

-Thank you very much.

1:11:211:11:22

I'm so pleased for you. I'll see you at the battles.

1:11:221:11:27

Thank you so much. I am so happy.

1:11:271:11:29

-Is this the last one?

-This is going to be a good one.

1:11:311:11:33

I've got a feeling. There is a good one right at the end of the day.

1:11:331:11:36

-Yeah.

-Then we're all going to fight. There's going to be blood.

1:11:361:11:39

Well, let's see.

1:11:441:11:46

Last to sing is 35-year-old Kevin Simm from Chorley,

1:11:461:11:49

and he is definitely feeling the weight of expectation.

1:11:491:11:53

I'm very nervous, taking part in The Voice, I can't lie about that.

1:11:531:11:56

I've had nightmares about not having any turns.

1:11:581:12:01

I just have a feeling that this is what I have to do.

1:12:021:12:06

# Work it a little bit... #

1:12:061:12:09

I was with a band called Liberty X. It was amazing.

1:12:091:12:12

We won a Brit award, got to number one, travelled the world.

1:12:121:12:16

We just had the time of our lives for a couple of years, really.

1:12:161:12:20

We had a couple of hits

1:12:201:12:22

and then it just started going a little bit downhill.

1:12:221:12:24

The chart positions weren't great, so we got dropped.

1:12:241:12:27

# Just a little... #

1:12:281:12:30

Straight after the band,

1:12:301:12:31

I signed with a label and recorded my own album.

1:12:311:12:34

At that point, I was like, "This is going to be awesome.

1:12:341:12:37

"I'm going to be massive."

1:12:371:12:38

And then I sort of just got shelved, pretty much. What can you do?

1:12:381:12:41

It puts you off music a little bit.

1:12:411:12:44

It did knock my confidence a lot.

1:12:441:12:47

Life became a bit more normal. I was out of this little bubble.

1:12:471:12:51

I just started thinking that I have to get a job.

1:12:511:12:54

-So what have you been up to since Liberty X finished?

-I got married.

1:12:561:13:00

Had two children, been singing the whole time.

1:13:001:13:04

When I go out and gig on my own, people are like,

1:13:041:13:06

"Oh, I didn't know you actually sung.

1:13:061:13:08

"I thought you just stood at the back while the girls did their bit."

1:13:081:13:12

My kids definitely spur me on to want to better myself.

1:13:141:13:17

And I think The Voice is a good opportunity to do that.

1:13:201:13:24

# Like it doesn't exist

1:14:291:14:33

# I'm gonna fly

1:14:331:14:38

# Like a bird through the night

1:14:381:14:42

# Feel my tears as they dry

1:14:421:14:45

# I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

1:14:451:14:53

# From the chandelier... #

1:14:531:14:57

Come on, Will.

1:14:581:14:59

# Cos I'm holding on for dear life

1:14:591:15:02

# Won't look down Won't open my eyes

1:15:021:15:05

# Keep my glass full until morning light

1:15:051:15:09

# Cos I'm just holding on for tonight. #

1:15:091:15:15

-What's your name?

-My name is Kevin Simm.

1:15:451:15:49

I'm 35 years old, from Chorley.

1:15:491:15:52

CHEERING

1:15:521:15:54

OK...

1:15:551:15:57

Question - you're 35 years old, which isn't old, but it's not young.

1:15:571:16:02

You have an incredible voice. Where have you been?

1:16:021:16:06

I used to be in a pop group a while back called Liberty X.

1:16:101:16:13

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:16:131:16:16

Now I recognise you. You did that...

1:16:161:16:18

# Hot, just a little bit... #

1:16:181:16:19

-That's right?

-Yeah, that's right.

-I loved that record.

1:16:191:16:22

It's like one of my guilty pleasures.

1:16:221:16:24

I used to dance to that when no-one was looking.

1:16:241:16:26

# Sexy... #

1:16:261:16:27

-Great record. Wow. Well, hello.

-Hello.

1:16:271:16:30

Obviously you have been in a pop group,

1:16:311:16:33

so you have experienced some of that.

1:16:331:16:36

You know what it's like to have a record deal.

1:16:361:16:38

Also, to not have a record deal. What is the current situation?

1:16:381:16:42

I've just been gigging, really, ever since the band finished.

1:16:421:16:47

I had a solo deal and it didn't really work out.

1:16:471:16:51

I was just put off for a couple of years, I guess.

1:16:511:16:53

Probably one of my biggest regrets, I suppose.

1:16:531:16:55

So you know right now that the decisions that you

1:16:551:16:59

make are very crucial.

1:16:591:17:00

Uh-huh!

1:17:001:17:01

No pressure(!)

1:17:031:17:04

It's just obvious when you hear a voice of that quality singing

1:17:061:17:09

that you have to turn around. So, well done today.

1:17:091:17:12

-APPLAUSE

-Thanks very much.

1:17:121:17:15

I've just got goose bumps over my whole body.

1:17:151:17:18

Cos that was absolutely stunning. Like...aw!

1:17:181:17:23

I was absolutely on the edge of my seat,

1:17:241:17:27

and I just think you are phenomenal.

1:17:271:17:29

-That's not my pitch, that's just saying what I feel.

-Thank you.

1:17:291:17:34

You are fighting for something. You can tell.

1:17:351:17:38

And your performance there, you know - in a pop band, you don't

1:17:381:17:42

really get a chance to be emotional.

1:17:421:17:44

It's, like, you've got to do as a pop band is supposed to do.

1:17:441:17:48

It's not like, "I'm writing these songs, it's how I feel right now.

1:17:481:17:51

"The world's been mean to me and this is the way it is," right?

1:17:511:17:54

It felt like you were trapped in this box and you came out here

1:17:541:17:59

to be like, "I'm coming here on The Voice, I'm just going to burn

1:17:591:18:02

"the place down, vocally." And you did that.

1:18:021:18:06

And I waited till the end, because I just wanted to listen.

1:18:061:18:10

I just want to say thanks, though. It means a lot.

1:18:111:18:14

I did really think as long as I give it my best,

1:18:141:18:17

if no-one turns around, you know...

1:18:171:18:19

The thing is, you've been in the business before.

1:18:191:18:23

You've thrown yourself back in

1:18:231:18:24

and you've thrown yourself back in at quite a high level,

1:18:241:18:27

in front of a lot of people,

1:18:271:18:28

and you have been burned before.

1:18:281:18:31

It takes a lot of guts to do that, to go back in that hard,

1:18:311:18:35

and that brilliant.

1:18:351:18:36

You don't have to worry about anything from the past,

1:18:361:18:38

any past decisions or any mistakes.

1:18:381:18:40

This is day one of the future for you and...

1:18:401:18:43

..I would like to be part of that.

1:18:441:18:46

APPLAUSE

1:18:461:18:48

I mean, there were a lot of big voices in this show.

1:18:511:18:53

You sit here and you hear different things and you think no-one can be better than that.

1:18:531:18:57

And then suddenly, something comes.

1:18:571:18:59

So it's just constant surprise, you know?

1:18:591:19:02

One thing that I do know is that I understand singers. That's my forte.

1:19:021:19:08

And I have been doing this for a long time.

1:19:081:19:11

PALOMA SNORES

1:19:111:19:13

LAUGHTER

1:19:131:19:15

Excuse me, Palaver.

1:19:191:19:20

Is it finished? Is it time for us to wake up now?

1:19:221:19:25

Excuse me? Excuse me?

1:19:271:19:31

The fire and the flames are lit.

1:19:311:19:34

I don't understand. That's extremely rude.

1:19:341:19:36

-Anyway. You're amazing.

-Thanks, man.

1:19:381:19:40

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

1:19:401:19:42

I feel like...

1:19:441:19:46

I haven't got somebody in my team who is like you.

1:19:461:19:50

When I put my mind to something, I will win.

1:19:501:19:54

I am determined, and the one extra layer that I feel

1:19:541:19:59

I would like to add to what you already have, which is very special,

1:19:591:20:03

is the fact that I am obsessed by it being creative.

1:20:031:20:07

I am just so excited, and I'm not often lost for words, but that's it.

1:20:071:20:12

Thanks.

1:20:121:20:13

Cheers.

1:20:151:20:16

I think that, you know, one thing you haven't done, Paloma,

1:20:161:20:20

is have a hit in America.

1:20:201:20:22

I've had a few, so we are talking about global strategy with me.

1:20:221:20:26

And, you know...

1:20:261:20:27

Maybe I haven't achieved that now,

1:20:271:20:29

but I haven't had as long in the game as George.

1:20:291:20:31

Eventually, hopefully, one day I will get there.

1:20:311:20:35

CHEERING

1:20:351:20:37

And who knows? Maybe it would be a duet between the two of us

1:20:381:20:41

that breaks us both at the same time.

1:20:411:20:44

Oh, jeez.

1:20:461:20:48

All right, all right, OK. I've got to do this, haven't I?

1:20:551:21:00

-WILL:

-Did you have a clue who you wanted to come with before you came on the show?

1:21:001:21:05

No...

1:21:051:21:07

LAUGHTER

1:21:071:21:08

-All right, OK, OK.

-OK, here it comes, guys.

-Erm...

1:21:171:21:21

OK.

1:21:231:21:24

I respect everyone massively, for all different reasons.

1:21:261:21:31

He's going to go with Will.

1:21:341:21:36

I think from the reaction that got me the most...

1:21:361:21:39

It's Paloma.

1:21:431:21:45

PALOMA GASPS

1:21:451:21:46

I'm so emotional! That's so incredible.

1:21:501:21:53

I promise I'm not going to let you down. I promise.

1:21:531:21:56

You're amazing.

1:21:581:22:00

-RICKY:

-Well done. You're awesome. Well done for coming back.

1:22:001:22:03

-WILL:

-You sing great.

-KEVIN:

-Thanks, man. Thank you.

1:22:031:22:06

-WILL:

-You've got a perfect beard too.

1:22:061:22:08

Cheers, mate. Thanks for turning around.

1:22:081:22:10

Give it up! It's going to be amazing, honestly.

1:22:131:22:17

It's really nice to meet you.

1:22:171:22:19

(I've upset George.)

1:22:291:22:31

-Leave it for five minutes.

-PALOMA:

-OK.

1:22:311:22:33

-He's great, by the way.

-PALOMA:

-I know.

1:22:371:22:40

She hasn't won.

1:22:591:23:00

# Cos, baby, now we got bad blood... #

1:23:061:23:09

Paloma and George had a right old barney...

1:23:091:23:12

# Now we got problems... #

1:23:121:23:14

We have Paloma full-on, George, full-on.

1:23:141:23:17

They're both people that keep their emotions a lot closer to the surface.

1:23:191:23:22

-PALOMA:

-I'm gutted.

-RICKY:

-I think it's cos they really care.

1:23:221:23:25

We are trying to win.

1:23:251:23:27

You know, sitting in that chair, it's kind of intense.

1:23:281:23:31

There is nothing else like it.

1:23:311:23:32

They might fight, but they will always be cool.

1:23:321:23:35

She knows I love her.

1:23:351:23:37

# We are family... #

1:23:371:23:38

We are both very gobby.

1:23:381:23:40

He talks a lot, but I think I'm evenly quite matched with him.

1:23:401:23:45

They are no-holds-barred, unfiltered charisma.

1:23:451:23:49

I think everything's all right now.

1:23:491:23:51

They've kissed and made up.

1:23:511:23:53

I love you, Paloma!
