Blind Auditions 7 The Voice UK

It's the final week of blind auditions.

And it's a straight race to the finish.

Who will be first to cross the line?

Take your marks... Set...

And they're off! With Faith quick off the blocks.

The blinds are 100% a marathon. You have to pace yourself.

Wilson's looking steady.

But what's this? i.am's up to his usual tricks!

You could sprint your way to the end. Good luck.

I haven't met any sprinter win a marathon.

Watch out, here comes Boy George.

You've got to conserve your energy.

You've got to dig deep. You've got to eat a lot of pasta.

It's all about saving some energy for the final leg.

And then it's a sprint to the finish line.

It looks like it'll be a photo finish

as the coaches hit the final straight.

I hold out to the last minute, because I don't like to be rushed.

I like to order last, I like to board the plane last.

I like to do things last.

No room for false starts or false hopes.

Here come the last blind auditions.

We've got some work to do, George!

Ricky, Boy George and Will are neck-and-neck

with 10 out of 12 acts.

But Paloma is holding a fragile lead with 11 acts.

Take your marks. The first singer is on the approach.

Please be good, please be good. Be amazing.

'Meet Lisa Wallace from East London.'

I'm 42 years old, even though I don't look it,

and I'm a duty manager at a leisure centre.

You eat all your greens, don't ya?

I oversee everything in the centre,

make sure everything is running correctly.

OK, no problem, I'll just transfer you now.

How do I transfer it to you?

And during the evening, I'm an aerobics instructor.

Good!

I work hard. I know I don't look like it but I'm really fit.

-I bet your class is a lot of fun.

-They are, do you want to do some?

Let's do it, let's go.

I've got, you know when they check your heart rate,

blood pressure, I've got the blood pressure of an athlete.

Never know that, would ya?

-So, arms up.

-Arms up, yeah.

-Elbows in line with the shoulders.

-Is that all right?

Oh, babe! Let's just see that again.

-There we go.

-Oh, sorry!

So, what we're going to do, we're going to bring the elbows in,

little bit higher, cos we're working this muscle here.

-OK.

-SHE SIGHS HAPPILY

-Right. So we're going to go...

-We must improve the bust, yeah?

We must, we must, we must improve the bust.

-Love your support, thank you, Marvin.

-Cheers, babes.

-Thanks a lot.

-Thank you, babe, thank you.

I've sung since I was a little girl, this is all I've ever wanted to do.

I just, I want it so bad, so bad. If it's meant to be, it's going to be.

I believe it's meant to be.

CHEERING

Thank you so much.

-What happened? I saw the legs, what happened?

-What's your name?

-Lisa, pleased to meet you.

-Hi, Lisa, where you from?

Walthamstow, East London.

CHEERING

I didn't turn around, cos you'll see this on telly,

and I think you'll feel what we felt,

it was almost there, but more importantly, the stakes are high

because we all pretty much have the same amount of singers.

And now it's like the next level, and I'm not sure if you were, uh!

-Took me, you know what I mean?

-We can "uh," Will!

It's difficult when the audience, like, gives such a great reaction.

Thank you, guys, thank you.

CHEERING

-You're charming. There's an instant likeability.

-Thank you.

It's not easy to stand up on a stage when people don't know you

and get that kind of reaction.

You're obviously on fire with that.

I've been picked out of thousands of people,

and I saw all your legs doing that.

-I'm happy with that.

-Yes.

-I'm happy with that!

Thank you.

Thank you, Lisa.

-Well done. You sounded wicked.

-Thank you.

No hands!

I'm Faith Nelson, I'm 17,

and I'm a student.

Hi!

I come from a big family. I'm one of ten, I'm the third youngest.

It's crazy. Yeah!

The whole house is musical, it's just lively.

Faith gets her voice from me and my mum also was a singer.

It was almost like it was a gift which was given to her from God.

I'm really proud of her. She makes my heart melt.

I know she can do it.

I believe in her.

And when she sings, she makes me feel strong.

Come on, Faith! Come on!

# You make it look like magic

# But I see nobody, nobody but you

# I'm never confused

# I'm too used to being used

# So I love when you call unexpected

# Cos I hate when the moment's expected

# I'm-a care for you, you, yeah

# I'm-a care for yo-o-o-o-u

# Cos boy, you're perfect

# You're always worth it

# And you deserve it

# The way you work it

# And boy, you earned it

# Boy, you earned it

# And boy, you're worth it

# You're always worth it, yeah, yeah

# And you deserve it, whoa-oh

# And boy, you earned it

# Whoa... #

CHEERING

-What's your name?

-Oh, my days!

-What's your name?

-My name is Faith.

Hi, Faith.

-Faith?

-Yes.

-Wow!

We have something in common.

You were a great singer.

-You look awesome, love the coat, love the hat.

-Thank you.

I'm, you know, I'm close to being full myself.

I wanted to turn round out of respect for a great voice,

but I'm holding out, just in case I miss something.

And when I saw them turn I thought, well, you got someone. So well done.

Thank you.

Faith, did you have your eyes closed throughout the whole of that?

-Most of it.

-Because I turned first.

-No, he did not!

-Oh!

-I just want you to know, I turned first.

No, it was magical.

-Are you a professional singer?

-No, I'm only 17.

-You're only 17?!

Well, as a professional careers adviser...

I would say you should pursue singing as a career.

Because it's what you were made to do.

And then he looks at you with those baby blues!

I love the song choice. I thought your delivery was amazing.

I was trying not to turn, because if you go with me,

then I have no more places left on my team.

-I only have one place left.

-OK.

Which shows you how brilliant I thought you were.

I feel like in terms of what I could offer you,

I feel like you're a fantastic singer already.

But I'd want to work with you about finding you and your identity

and who you are. And your personality and the whole thing.

I'd love to get creative with you and see what we make together.

Your voice is, like, supreme.

Superb. Super. Dope. Except...

The beginning, man, if you would have ended it like you started it,

as far as the control, ooh!

Rockets into outer space.

Astronauts on Mars.

But there's no doubt about that Paloma or Ricky

could help you fine-tune that.

And I don't want to mess with that.

OK. Thank you very much.

AUDIENCE SHOUTS SUGGESTIONS

Shh!

I've listened to what both of you have had to say. And it's good.

But I've decided...

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

Paloma Faith.

Go on, Faith!

-So nice to meet you. Beautiful, beautiful voice.

-Thank you.

You look like my cousin Ayesha.

-Thank you.

-You're all topped up, Faith?

I'm done. I'm out.

I can relax.

Really nice to meet you, I'll take you out.

I'm full, my team is amazing.

CHEERING

Rest of the day is chilled. Or not.

First over the finish line is Paloma Faith, completing her team of 12.

Jolly good show!

The boys are still neck-and-neck.

There's no question about it, it's an elite race.

-I'm glad you're out the running.

-I feel so glad.

-I'm so jealous!

We have three coaches with just six spaces left between them,

so it's over to 16-year-old Rachel Ann

to use a bit of peace and love power.

I'm probably not your regular teenager.

I'm a vegan, and I like to spend as much time outdoors as possible.

I can see beauty in things that people

don't necessarily even notice.

There will be like a certain cloud that I notice in the sky

or a bird that's over there or just a little ant

and I'll notice the little things, and it makes me feel happier.

My family and my siblings do tease me

for being a little bit of a hippy because I don't wear shoes.

# I feel the earth move under my feet

# I feel the sky tumbling down... #

I found that when I wore shoes, I felt trapped.

And when I walked around without shoes on,

I felt more connected to everything around me.

If I had my way, my performing space would be outdoors,

maybe on a field with the birds and everything.

People do call me a hippy, and I suppose if you wanted to put

a label on me then I kind of am, but I'm just being myself.

# I'm going in for the kill

# I'm doing it for the thrill

# I'm hoping you'll understand

# Now, don't let go of my hand

# I hang my hopes

# Out on the line

# Oooh-oooh

# Will they be ready for you in time?

# And if you leave them out too long

# Ooh-ooh

# Well, they'll be withered by the sun

# I'm going in for the kill

# I'm doing it for the thrill

# I'm hoping you'll understand

# No, don't let go of my hand

# Oh-oh-oh

# Ooooh-oooh-oooh

# I'm going in for the kill

# I'm doing it for the thrill

# Oh, I'm hoping you understand

# No, don't let go of my hand. #

CHEERING

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Wow!

-Wow, you!

-Wow.

-You are wow.

-Wow.

Hi! My name is Rachel Ann, I'm from Bournemouth.

Hi, Rachel Ann.

Hello.

-How old are you?

-I'm 16.

-Whoa!

Wow! That's a standing ovation.

-So amazing. Amazing.

-That was amazing.

No, you were amazing. I wish I could press my button.

I've got a full team, and it doesn't work any more.

I feel so lucky that I kept losing pitches,

I kept losing to George and Paloma.

And I'm so lucky that I kept losing because it got me

to a position where I've got places left and I turned for you.

Thank you so much for turning.

Yeah, so... There was a red moon a couple of days ago.

And it opened up a portal. And angels have fallen out of the sky.

And then, like, and then you're here.

See, I couldn't have come up with something like that. There's no way.

I borrowed that from Ricky's book. That was a Ricky pitch.

I just hope you appreciate how good you are.

-I'm literally still, like, shaking.

-No, I'm shaking too.

You know, I wish I had the words to express what you just did,

and what people at home just saw, because that, that was...

I, I didn't think there was that much more to hear in life

and you just provided it, it was brilliant.

Oh, thank you, thank you so much.

It's rare that you hear somebody take a song and just own it

and it's theirs, and it was such a beautiful

interpretation of that song, and it felt very much like you.

That's what I love to do,

I do covers of songs and change them up, it's what I love.

And do you write as well?

I'm starting to, I never used to but over the last couple of months,

I'm starting to write.

Here's the reason I turned around, to be honest with you.

-In the beginning, you were kind of like, OK.

-Yeah.

-You know that.

And then you said, "I'm going in for the kill,"

it was kind of like, I didn't really believe it.

And then you started improving.

Then I was like, OK, maybe she's going to stop there.

Then you kept on improving.

Then you were just, like, just became...you know, angelic.

And then, "I'm going in for the kill" again,

and then you hit that high.

And then you kept going.

And then Ricky was, he stood up, he shouldn't have stood up

cos I was like, "Maybe I should turn around too."

You come on my team, and...you know, it'll be fun.

And I would try to wear the same kind of sandals you have on.

-I'm not actually wearing any shoes, I don't wear shoes.

-Whoa!

-I don't wear them.

-Faux sandals!

-Yeah.

-So, is this when I choose now, yeah?

-Yeah.

-This is where you choose.

OK, thank you both very, very much for turning, I didn't expect it.

Um... The person I'm going to go with today...

-..is Ricky.

-Yes!

Meet the rest of them.

-Amazing.

-Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful. So honoured to meet you.

-Thank you, lovely to meet you.

-You too.

Nice to meet you guys.

-She was awesome.

-Yeah.

CHEERING

It really moved me. I think she'll go far. She can sing amazingly well.

Wilson can now see the home straight.

He's got one place left to fill.

George and i.am each have 10.

Come on, chaps!

So, Ricky only needs one more act and with places scarce,

getting a chair turn is becoming increasingly difficult.

Early on in the competition it's easier to trust your instincts

when you've got that many places.

But if you've got one place left,

your brain gets in the way of what you're feeling.

# Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you

# What it is that surprises me is I don't really want you to... #

I'm doing The Voice to just show people what I can do.

# I bet that you look good on the dance floor... #

I think the harder you work, the more luck you make for yourself.

Hopefully a chair turns.

# Dancing to electropop... #

Come on, press the button!

# From 1984

# From 1984! #

CHEERING

Well done, mate.

-Hi, guys.

-Your voice is great.

We were all like, shall we turn?

This is a competition and we're holding out.

When your team's almost full, you have this vision in your head

of something that you can't really pinpoint.

# You can get it if you really want

# You can get it if you really want

# You can get it if you really want

# But you must try

# Try and try

# Try and try... #

Awww!

It was a great performance, really solid, the audience did love it.

As long as you keep playing the game, you're going to win it.

It's getting really hard, when you get to the final few.

Knowing your own judgment, you've got to be careful.

# Can I lay by your side

# Next to you... #

Come on, Ricky! Come on!

# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... #

GROANING

-RICKY:

-It's really difficult to say no to people.

But it wasn't the right place and time.

In this competition, you just never know what to expect.

# He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way

# He had a boogie style that no-one else could play

# He was the top man at his craft... #

It's super stressful because I'm not sure

if there's something amazing coming, I might push that button too soon.

# The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

# Company B! #

I just don't want to miss something amazing.

I feel like being here is a big opportunity for me.

And hopefully, fingers crossed,

become an artist that people remember forever.

Hello, everyone. I'm sure you all know who I am. I'm Redcoat Sam.

My name is Sam Bloor, I'm 19. I love my job.

When I'm not performing, I'm having a laugh.

Aaaaagh!

Being a Redcoat is a bit like being a celebrity.

Hiya, guys!

'Kids recognise you all the time, adults recognise you all the time.'

All right, mate? Nice to see you guys.

I can understand why celebs like being celebs.

# I have been crazy

# But that's just all right

# All right

# I have been lonely

# But that's just all right

# All right

# My feelings, I don't hide 'em, hide 'em

# From me

# Now, now, now, all right

# Come and get it if you really want it

# Come and get it if you really need it

# Come and get it if you really want it

# Come and get it if you really need it... #

-Come on!

-Push it!

-Come on!

# If you really need it

# Come and get it if you really want it

# Oooooh! #

CHEERING

Aww, so cute.

-What's your name?

-Hi, my name's Sam Bloor, I'm 19 years old,

I'm originally from Stoke-on-Trent but I live in Bognor Regis now.

And I work at a holiday resort as a Redcoat.

-Hi-de-hi!

-Hi-de-hi.

-So you work as a Redcoat?

-Yeah.

-So that entails a lot of singing?

-Yeah, a lot of singing.

It's not your average job, it's quite fun.

It's obvious you're a seasoned performer,

because look what the crowd were doing.

-They were on their feet, they were joining in.

-Thank you very much.

-It's a John Newman track, right?

-Yeah, that's right.

You weren't doing an impression of him.

But you were doing what he does on that song.

So song choice was excellent for showing that you can do that,

but not excellent enough for me to turn around

because I didn't see anything different, I wasn't sold on it.

This is where you're supposed to be, today wasn't your day,

-tomorrow is the start of something else.

-Thank you very much.

I didn't really know the song, and I loved your performance.

But I've literally got two spaces left.

But you're a good singer, and you should definitely,

definitely carry on doing what you're doing.

Thank you very much, guys, Cheers, thank you.

Cheers, thank you very much, mate.

Well done. Keep going.

CHEERING

-PALOMA:

-It's hard to say no to people when you look at them,

and their little faces are like...

-GEORGE:

-Some of the nos have been so great.

And it's a very hard thing to have no-one turn.

But what you do with that no

is as important as what you do with a yes.

My name is Leighton Jones, 41, from Cardiff. Singer-songwriter.

I'm a full-time musician, and play with a band as well,

we play charity events, pubs, wherever they'll have us, really!

The reason I'm here, funny story, I had a bet with my boy.

If he got into Cardiff rugby, he said, "You have to go on The Voice."

And he got into Cardiff rugby, so I've come on The Voice!

-You nervous?

-For you, really.

-Why?

I just want you to get through.

-Don't you think I'm good enough?

-Obviously I do!

'My son Jay is 15 years old. Love him to bits.'

He's doing really well, he's Cardiff captain of the under 16s now.

We hang out and he pinches money off me.

Today is really important, because I've been singing a long time,

and I want people to know who I am and my vocal abilities.

-Good luck, Dad, smash it.

-Thank you. Love you lots.

-Talk to you later, OK?

-All right.

Also, it will be nice to see Jay's little face

if one of the chairs turn round.

Here he is. Come on, mate, come on!

Come on, mate, let's go.

# Yeah, baby

# Do-do, yeah

# Heaven help the brother who never had a home

-Leighton Jones.

-From?

-From Cardiff, Wales.

You've got to be if you're called Jones, right?

You've got to be Welsh!

Man, you have got, like... You have got so much soul.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

Seriously, I am so happy George turned around.

Because I was going to turn around.

And then George turned around.

You are on my team, there is no competition!

Thank you, Mr Boy George.

It's a relief.

No, it is one of those things that I have been saying,

that I am looking for, I don't know, a voice that melts snow.

It would have been an insult if I hadn't turned, right?

Thank you very much, much appreciated.

-I was pressing my button manically, but I have got a full team.

-Oh, OK.

So it doesn't turn, I am locked in,

but I thought that was a fantastic performance.

CHEERING

I think we were all waiting for George to turn,

because you are so up his street, it is unbelievable.

It is a match made in heaven, and to be totally honest,

-I can't wait to hear you sing again.

-Oh, thank you very much.

Cheers, guys.

-Welcome to Team George, Mr Welsh Man.

-Thank you, Georgie Boy.

CHEERING

I didn't want to turn, I wanted to hold out,

but he was so good, it was kind of...

I had to push the button.

How happy are you now, Leighton,

that you put on that bet with your son?

Very happy, yeah.

It's paid off. Jay, anything you want to say to your dad?

I'm just so proud.

George is finally hitting his stride

on 11, level pegging with Wilson.

I.am still laps behind with

two places left to fill.

-What are you looking for, Will?

-I'm just open for something awesome.

-Something that surprises you?

-Yeah.

OK, Will - awesome? Yeah. Surprise? Yeah.

This next act could be your bag.

My name is David Barnes, I'm 37, and I'm in the British Army.

I'm David Williams, I'm 26 and I'm in the Royal navy.

I'm the drum major at the Royal Military School of Music.

The E to the B to the E...

is where it's slightly disjointed.

Day to day we do a lot of servicing on the aircraft, just maintaining

the aircraft, making sure they are all up to speed and ready to go.

-HE BELLOWS

-A typical day for me

would involve inspection outside in the uniform...

How big is your belt?

I have been doing it for a year.

Before that, I was in the Royal Marines

and went out to Afghanistan with them.

I think the best bit about my job is the excitement.

Every day is different.

I love it, bit of discipline,

a bit of shouting on the square - it's great.

Marvin! By the left, quick march!

Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right,

Not bad at all. You can join up any time, it's fine.

-LAUGHING:

-I'm petrified.

I am massively proud to do my job,

but I have always wanted to pursue

the singing side of being a musician.

I am really proud to be in the Forces, I think it is

an honour to be able to represent the country.

I decided to enter The Voice because it is either now or never.

# I'm falling to pieces. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-JUDGES:

-Hey.

-What's your name?

-I am David Williams, I'm 26

-and I am in the navy.

-You're in the navy?

AUDIENCE: Woo!

-NORTHERN ACCENT:

-Strapping lad from the navy.

If you had dressed in your uniform,

you would have sent Paloma over the edge.

LAUGHTER

What do you do in the navy?

I was in the Royal Marines for five years, and then transferred

-over to the greater navy to be an aircraft engineer.

-Wow.

And what about the singing thing, tell us about that.

-How did this start?

-While I was in the navy, I was a break dancer.

Wait a second, so you were break dancing, then you were like...

"Yo"...

-Whilst windmilling, yeah.

-Do you perform now?

No, to be honest, only to myself in the car. And maybe my baby as well.

Aww.

But I think my advice to you would be that you need to

-get out and do this more to build up your confidence.

-Yeah.

You have got a good voice, but it wasn't a strong performance.

-But there is definitely something there.

-Thank you very much.

Don't give up your job, cos...

LAUGHTER

You know when he said... No...

I did that once.

I sort of got really confident and I went and left my job,

and then I realised that I couldn't pay my rent.

And got really worried.

And then I was like, "Oh, OK, the bailiffs are coming round",

and I went back to the same workplace that I'd told,

"Right, screw you, I'm hitting the big time!"

And I was like, tail between my legs,

"Can I have my job back, please?"

Do you guys wear those suits, like the navy suits?

Yes, we have got all our military uniform,

the navy one is like the marshmallow man kind of hat thing.

-Me and Boy George would probably wear those hats.

-Yeah, yeah.

-I'll get some sorted out for you.

-Hook us up.

-Thanks, bro.

-Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

-Thanks very much.

-Do you still do any break dancing?

-I can do some moves.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Can you do windmills?

AUDIENCE: Woo!

Spin me, Will, spin me!

-Really appreciate that.

-Thank you, cheers.

MUSIC: In the navy by Village People

Wahey! Look, they loved him.

-In the navy.

-# In the navy... #

-MARVIN:

-So, in the battle of the services,

the navy failed to gain a place.

Can David Barnes put the army into action?

Come on, David. Come on.

# When a man loves a woman

CHEERING

# Can't keep his mind on nothing else

# He'd trade the world for the good things he found

# Yeah

# When this man loves...

# When this man loves a woman

# I'll give you everything

# I'll give you everything

# I'll give you everything!

CHEERING

Woo!

-Hey!

-What's your name?

My name is David Barnes, I am 37 years old,

I am from Teddington in London, and I'm a British Army soldier.

A soldier?

Um, first, thank you for the service you do for this great nation.

Thank you, sir, thank you.

So you are in Team Ricky.

I welcome you on this show and let's have a great time.

Right, well, a British Army soldier.

You're in Team Ricky, you are the final member of Team Ricky

and you will be keeping everyone in check then.

-It's a pleasure to be on the team, sir.

-Thank you very much.

CHEERING

So what do you do in the army?

So my job is I train army musicians to march in military bands,

and I do that at the Royal Military School of Music in Twickenham.

So, like...?

Yeah, the guys you see outside Buckingham Palace doing

the military music, that is my job, to train them to do that.

Well, again, you are on my team...

I'm excited to see what's going to happen.

Well done.

-PALOMA:

-Good on you, mate.

-Thank you.

Wilson crosses the finish line with a full team at last.

Just Boy George and i.am

in the running. It's getting tense.

I think it is safe to say that will.i.am is going to be

the last coach to fill up his team.

Here's me.

Say for example I have to wake up and be somewhere at 9am.

I'm not going to be late. Ooh.

I've nicknamed Will "Will I Am Always Late."

The alarm goes off at six.

I'm like, "Let's get breakfast."

That's his gimmick.

It's like Kojak had a lollipop, Will fills his team last.

I'm gonna wake up at 8...

ALARM CLOCK RINGS

..it's like, "Just going to lay down for five minutes."

Then that five minutes turns into, like, ten minutes.

Then you're rushing out of the house, and that always happens.

No matter how much I plan, for some reason,

it goes down that way.

And I'm working on that.

SNORING

EMMA: 'There's just three places left in the competition.

'Over to you, Rose Farquhar.'

I think you get to this point from years of practising.

Not many people in the world get to sing on the stage with a live band,

within feet of will.i.am, Paloma Faith, Boy George and Ricky.

It's insane.

SHE LAUGHS

# Anyone who ever loved

# Could look at me

# And know that I love you

# Anyone who ever dreamed

# Could look at me

# And know I dream of you

# Knowing I love you

# So!

# Anyone who had a heart would take me in his arms and love me too

# You couldn't really have a heart

# And hurt me like you hurt me

# And be so untrue

# Anyone who had a heart would love me too... #

-Come on!

-Come on!

# ..in his arms and always love me

# Why won't you? #

CHEERING

Hello, lovely.

-Hi.

-What's your name and where do you come from?

-My name is Rose, I'm from London.

-Rose from London.

Hi. What do you do for your living?

I basically celebrate British brands in emerging and growth markets.

That sounds really grown up.

LAUGHTER

-Yep.

-So you are an adult?

-Yes, I am officially an adult.

So how did you get into singing?

Like everyone, I have sung since I was a small, little girl,

and singing really makes me tick.

From my point of view, I loved the song, I loved your performance,

and it just isn't right for my team right now.

But well done, and bravo for coming on the show

-and showing us what you can do.

-Thank you very much.

CHEERING

I feel completely gutted but really proud,

and glad that I got the opportunity.

There's three places left. One with you and two with Will.

I'm just going to do a little...

HE WHISPERS TO HIMSELF

I'm just hoping for someone amazing.

My name's Laura Begley, I'm 22, I'm from Stirling in Scotland.

I probably would say I'm a hippie.

I love going to festivals and I like to find peace,

I am pretty chilled out, to be honest.

Last year, I came out of a break-up.

# Hello, darkness, my old friend. #

Because it was such a shock, something just

clicked in my head and I was like, "I need to learn to love myself."

I decided to go to a spiritual detox retreat in Portugal.

You do yoga, meditation, so it is all about the mind and the body.

I think I really found myself,

it was just an amazing experience for me.

Whilst I was still in Portugal, one of the guys

we met asked me to go and sing, and I got a really good reaction.

# What a beautiful day... #

So I've been doing a lot of gigs

and I've been getting really good compliments.

I've kind of learned to believe in myself.

I can do this, I can be successful.

It's been a good year for me. I feel really happy.

# Nothing is impossible in my all-powerful mind. #

THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

# Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you

# From doing all the things in life you'd like to

# Coyness is nice and coyness can stop you

# From saying all the things in life you'd like to

# So if there's something you'd like to try

# If there's something you'd like to try

# Ask me, I won't say no, how could I?

# Warm summer days indoors

# Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

# Ask me, ask me, ask me

# Ask me, ask me, ask me

# If it's not love, then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb

# The bomb that will bring us together

# Nature is a language, can't you read?

# So ask me, ask me, ask me

# Ask me, ask me, ask me

# If it's not love

# Then it's the bomb

# Then it's the bomb that will bring us together. #

CHEERING

Hello, what's your name?

My name's Laura, I'm 22, I'm from Stirling in Scotland.

Yeah!

AUDIENCE: Woo!

Thank you for coming on the show. Me and Paloma can't turn.

We were doing this, weren't we?

- Yeah. - I loved it.

Thank you so much.

Great song choice, great way of changing it up, love it.

-Congratulations, you are on the show.

-Thank you!

I thought it was a really good song choice.

Uplifting, and you delivered it really well.

Thank you, I am a huge Smiths fan, so it's like the best song for me.

I met Morrissey in 1983.

It was hilarious, I had tea with him in Paris and he hated me.

He didn't speak and so I got really nervous

and just went into verbal overdrive for the whole hour.

And when I left, he said, "Boy George is overbearing."

But the good news is, we've met since then

and I was a little more grown up the second time and he was lovely.

-But anyway, welcome to The Voice.

-Thank you.

OK, so this is the situation - we are down to the bone.

-Bone.

-I have one space left, Will has two spaces left.

We are keeping it very exciting. So, basically, if you go with me,

-then that's me done.

-That's a great pitch(!)

Well, you know...

I turned around for you, I liked your voice, that kind of

country break, which I always love, which I don't have on my team...yet.

I have a lot of kind of soulful voices, really,

you know...the choice is yours!

CHEERING

I loved it. I love that song. It brings me back to my childhood.

I love your approach and how you made it your own.

If you are on my team, I would...clear traffic for you.

LAUGHTER

What that means, literally, is to literally clear traffic.

OK.

It means that every time you are walking in the street after

this show, and you want to cross the road...

I'd be like...

Move out the way! Get out the way!

She's coming through, I'm clearing traffic.

She's on my team, move.

Move out the way.

Where did you get that?

You're not allowed to have props, that is unfair.

-Oh, no, no, this is not props.

-He just carries that anyway.

Listen, honestly, it makes total creative,

cultural sense for the song you sang to go with Boy George.

I swear to you, that makes logical sense. It's like...

It's like orange juice in the morning with scrambled eggs.

Who would have thought to put the champagne from last night in it?

-Darling...

-And that is called a mimosa.

-Darling...

You know what I'm talking about?

You with me, it's like champagne in orange juice.

Whoever did that for the first time, is his last name Mimosa?

I don't know.

The fact is, I kind of like the drink.

Come with me, we are mimosa-ing up, I'm clearing traffic,

we're not driving and drinking mimosas...

LAUGHTER

Make up your mind, Smiths girl.

Erm...

-AUDIENCE MEMBERS:

-Will!

-George!

-This is so exciting.

-No, the choice is... Let's help her.

-RICKY:

-OK, the choice is...

-So, like...

-What are these two doing?

Either you stay with this kind of mad scientist experimental guru,

who understands about that genre a lot more than you think he does.

Even I am agreeing, imagine putting The Smiths with will.i.am.

It's like a game show. This is my glamorous assistant.

He turns dirt into pearls, he's amazing.

Paloma, when did you start working for Will?

I think they're both incredible, and either way, you are winning.

APPLAUSE

Who are you going with, babe?

-You are making this so easy for me(!)

-Will, what do you predict?

A riot.

I'm going to go with Boy George.

CHEERING

You're awesome. Seriously, you're awesome.

I'm done!

I said I was waiting for something quirky and special,

and there you came.

MUSIC: This Charming Man by The Smiths

-ALL:

-Yay!

A respectable bronze for George means i.am is

still in the race searching for a place.

But he's not bothered.

I've completed my team and now,

I can sit back like Paloma and Ricky and watch Will...

-PALOMA:

-..Squirm.

-BOY GEORGE CHUCKLES

Now, it's all about you, man.

# It's all about you! #

LAUGHTER

It's the biggest opportunity to date.

It's one of those things where you never actually think it will happen

and now I'm here, it's just... massive.

I think that's what it is -

it's having the biggest audience you've ever had in your life.

It's exciting.

I'm Kerry O'Dowd. I'm 32 and I'm from Kent.

I started out once I left school working as a karaoke disc girl.

The songs ranged from 3,000 songs to eventually 15,000.

I learnt a lot of songs.

I then started singing in holiday parks, pubs,

clubs up and down the country.

I've loved music since I can remember.

I love performing, so this is mega.

This is massive.

# Standing here in the music hall

# With my microphone and a glitter ball

# And you walk right in blowing through the doors

# Like a force of nature Force of nature

# I can not look cos my head's a mess

# But you're beautiful in the way you dress

# I'm lost for words and I'm powerless

# Right from the beginning You've got me singing

# Ooh

# Singing

# Ah-oh, singing

# Ooh

# Singing

# Oh

# I'm so in love with you

# Yeah yeah yeah

# And I feel

# Love. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-JUDGES: Hello!

-Hello.

-What's your name?

-My name's Kerry O'Dowd.

-Oh, my God!

-I know!

Are we related?

Unfortunately, I don't think we are, but that would have been awesome.

That was a lovely performance, but us three, we're closed down.

-We're all...

-Ah, so...

-The timing is just...

It is an amazing opportunity to do this anyway.

You did an amazing job.

The reason why no-one turned, primarily,

it's because there's only one person that can turn

and I'm discombobulated...

LAUGHTER

-Did I use that word right, right there?

-No, it's a great word.

..and over-analysing, so I apologise for that.

-Thanks for coming on, and your hair is beautiful.

-Thank you.

Thank you for having me. It's been amazing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Woo-hoo! Can we keep doing that for ten minutes?

-CREW:

-We're having a problem with the chairs at the moment, so sorry.

LAUGHTER

Just stay in them for us!

-We in for the ride!

-Get me off of this ride!

They're trying to kill me!

'Our next act knows all about the power of a spinning chair.'

My name is Aaron Hill, I'm 25 years old,

I'm a hair stylist and I'm from London.

What are we doing today, love? It's a fun job.

You just have to have great customer service skills,

cos at the end of the day, you want your clients to return,

so you have to treat them good and also do their hair great as well.

# Oh-oh, oh... #

Singing before the four coaches is a golden opportunity.

I'm feeling nervous,

but I know for a fact when I go out on that stage,

I'm really going to deliver the song.

# I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me

# You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy

# There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you

# You're at the top of my list cos I'm always thinkin' of you

# Oh, my love

# A thousand kisses from you is never too much

# And I just don't wanna stop

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started

# I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted

# Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'

# Walked out the door and there to my surprise there you were standin'

# A thousand kisses from you is never too ma-ma-ma-much

# Ma-ma-ma-much

# And I just don't wanna stop. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good evening, my name is Aaron Hill.

I'm a hair stylist, I am 25 years old.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome to Team Will. That's my mom's favourite song,

that means it's my favourite song.

It's hard doing Luther.

His licks and his runs are like, the best licks and runs in R&B,

but you didn't do his licks, you put your own licks and that was fresh.

Thank you so much, thank you so much.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of singing with Luther Vandross...

-Oh, wow.

-Ooh!

-..at the Apollo in Harlem

and it was one of the most scariest things I've ever done.

LAUGHTER

But it was a pleasure and everyone loves that song.

You know, we're always singing along all the words...

It's a winning song. Welcome to The Voice, welcome to Team Will.

-Thank you.

-RICKY:

-Great singing. Congratulations.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Got one spot left, there's two singers coming up.

I either pick one or the other.

-That's just the way it goes.

-I never knew it would be this exciting!

My name is Jeffri Ramli.

I'm 35 years old and I'm originally from Malaysia,

but I live in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Over the last few years, I've been mastering my skills in K-Pop.

It is a very unique style of music.

There's a lot of dancing, doing this...

Hey! And all of that.

It's just basically, go crazy.

Fashion is very important.

It's not just about your voice, but the whole package.

I think the UK need to hear Jeffri Ramli.

Hey!

# Well sometimes I go out by myself

# And I look across the water

# And I think of all the things What you're doing

# In my head I paint a picture

# Well, since I've come on home

# My body's been a mess

# And I miss your ginger hair

# And the way you like to dress

# Won't you come on over?

# Stop making a fool out of me

# Why don't you come on over Valerie

# Valerie

# Oh, Valerie. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-JUDGES:

-Hello!

-Hello.

-What's your name?

My name is Jeffri Ramli and I'm 35 years old.

I'm originally from Malaysia, but I live in Newcastle now, for 13 years.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You've got an incredible dress sense.

-Thank you.

I very much admire it, from head to toe.

Thank you.

Can ask you a question?

Do you know how to do the traditional Malaysian dance?

Yeah, I can. Like this.

WHOOPING

-Yeah, like that. That's it.

-Why don't you do it, Will?

Everybody does this. They go like this. # Dah-dah-dah... #

Oh, I think it's poco-poco -

it's like, one, two, three, four...

..And six and seven...

Yeah, that's it. Is it that?

-Yeah, it is that.

-Can we do it?

-That's a Malaysian dance.

-That's an electric slide.

WE say that's electric slide.

Actually, it originated from Indonesia,

-but we call it poco-poco.

-Can we try and do it?

Do you want to do it?

Shall I try? I'm useless...

Can we get some music? What kind of music you want?

-BAND PLAYS MALAY BEAT

-Yeah, that's it.

-That's it, that's it!

-Woo!

-These guys can do it!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you very much.

The electric slide!

I was like, "You mean to tell me

"y'all been doing this for frigging 2,000 years?"

We just thought it was a new dance.

I've been doing this in the hood for like, 30 years!

Swear to God!

We called it the electric slide.

Is this the last person of the whole series?

-It depends if I don't turn, though.

-You have to.

If I don't turn, we have to stay here another day.

I've got some fish in the fridge that's going off tomorrow, Will.

I've got to get back to London.

Will just like, totally views this as a game.

He loves playing the lottery.

That's quite exciting.

Here we go.

He's up to his old tricks, but he's playing a very dangerous game.

-Super brave, Will.

-Yeah, we cool, we cool.

'It's a gamble.'

It's also a bit exciting, waiting till the last minute. It's like...

HE GIGGLES

It's competition!

I got this. I got this.

One spot. Maybe something's lurking behind that's angelic -

it has wings and it's capable of flight.

'Typical Will. It's the last act and he wants a flying angel.

'Well, here's 28-year-old Colleen Gormley.'

I started singing for my local church

and this is really where I felt at home.

My type of music is country music.

It has that sort of spiritual edge to it.

It's music, I think, that just speaks from the heart.

I'm not looking for a certain genre, certain type.

Whatever happens will happen, wonderfully.

I believe a lot in what's meant to be

and I just hope to capture that moment

and make everyone feel like, "Yes, I've had that moment."

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# It's amazing how you

# Can speak right to my heart

# Without saying a word

# You can light up the dark

# Try as I may, I can never explain

# What I hear when you don't say a thing

Come on, Will!

# The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

# There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

# The touch of your hand says you'll catch me

# If ever I fall

# You say it best

# When you say nothing at all

# The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

# There's a truth in your eyes

# Saying you'll never leave me

# Cos you say it best

# When you say nothing at all. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING

We did it!

What's your name?

My name is Colleen Gormley

and I've just got my heel stuck in this part of the stage!

LAUGHTER

-There you go.

-You're from Ireland?

-I'm from Ireland, yes. Getting old - I'm 28.

-28?

-That's not old.

That's the age that we put Fergie in our group.

I had one singer left on my team.

I was holding out for something angelic and here you are,

-dressed in all white...

-CHEERING

That's off-white cream, darling.

LAUGHTER

It's taupe.

-Is it taupe?

-I think it's taupe.

Rhymes with dope!

LAUGHTER

Here you are, dressed in all taupe,

singing all dope,

and you're everything that I hoped.

You got my vote.

You could do an album called Dope In Taupe.

Nope.

LAUGHTER

Welcome to Team Will. Awesome to have you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's amazing, it's amazing! It's been amazing.

-Thanks for coming.

-Thank you!

-Thank you.

I can't think of anything else to say!

SCREAMING

Welcome back, Will. Well done.

-Thank you.

-Jolly good show.

Taupe is dope, taupe is dope.

Get over it? Nope.

# I can't believe it's over... #

Oh, my gosh.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Next week on The Voice...'

The blinds are done.

Now, we're going to turn it up a notch.

-It's the Battles!

-Let the battle commence!

12 singers -

six go home,

two get saved.

-'But there's a brand-new twist.'
