0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language
0:00:06 > 0:00:12Some people go, "Singers - blah blah. They have it all. They have money and nothing to worry about."
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I think that it's different whenever you are a singer
0:00:15 > 0:00:19because you don't know how much hard work you put into it, like.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23It is really nerve-wracking and one wee slightest off-tune
0:00:23 > 0:00:25can ruin your whole career and everything,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26know what I mean?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I like to change my hair with my mood, so I'm going back to pink.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I don't think the purple was me.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35My hair's fucking blue.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- I have blue hair. - She's got blue hair.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- It's green. It's a wee bit green and white.- It's fucking green.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Blue bleach on purple hair with the pink around that. - Oh, sweet divine.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I know my bit. It goes...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# And it's me, I know I know my name
0:00:51 > 0:00:53# Cos I say it proud. #
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I don't know the song.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01# Everything of what I always do
0:01:01 > 0:01:03# Looking for the right track
0:01:03 > 0:01:06# Always on the wrong track. #
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Don't know the song.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That's really bad.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- # Looking for the- right track
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- # Always on the- wrong track
0:01:13 > 0:01:15# But are you catching All these tracks
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- # That I'm- laying down for you. #
0:01:20 > 0:01:21- Done.- How is it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44The band's called Voodoo, so that was the hardest part.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46All we were doing was arguing over names, like.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We had some really groovy names.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49What was the other name?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54G-string! I loved G-string but I think it was a bit trashy.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56How was your new job? Carly started a new job today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I started a new job - it was awful.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01'Katrina's the mummy of the band - she has to look after me and Vicky.'
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Them two are really laid back where I would be more uptight
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and get worried and stressed about things
0:02:07 > 0:02:10but I think you maybe need that cos if them two were on their own
0:02:10 > 0:02:14they'd be, "Oh, it'll be done tomorrow," where I'm like, "Get it done now."
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- She made one change. All of us.- Did she?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21She's brilliant, she's amazing.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25'I've always sang. Always, from when I was, like, no age.'
0:02:25 > 0:02:29And then when I had my wee boy I had to put it all on the back burner
0:02:29 > 0:02:34but it was sort of still alive in me and I just needed to do something
0:02:34 > 0:02:37cos I'm starting to get on a bit in years. I need to sort it out.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Go, Kats - big grin.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41She's a mute make-up artist.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I look like a tranny.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47How do you? You look like a punk. You're going to look class in photos.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Does my hair look like a tranny? - Your hair's gorgeous.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52You never look like a tranny, to be fair, like.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Put your back foot further back - it will elongate you. The other way.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, perfect.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Carly's amazing. She really knows what she's doing but I feel a bit daft.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17It's all right saying we're not chasing the fame game and all
0:03:17 > 0:03:18cos I suppose we are, like.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Of course you are. - Of course you are.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23We're not going to say, "We're all about the music."
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Obviously, the music's really central to it but we're really ambitious.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- We all want to succeed, don't we, like?- Yeah, definitely.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43# Setting my sights on a falling rock star, I ain't easy... #
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We've been in the recording studio since about 9pm.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47It's been going quite well.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50The last time we were here, we didn't have the vocal coach with us,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53so it's a lot easier this time cos it's hard trying to remember
0:03:53 > 0:03:55all the harmonies and changes in the song.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59What we're going for is the very last line in this wee bit
0:03:59 > 0:04:04is going to be just an... # Oooh, with all the right moves. #
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- No...- It doesn't sound good, like. - # With all the right moves. #
0:04:09 > 0:04:10- That's it, yeah.- (It's not.)
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Rock it out a wee bit.- What? - Rock it out a wee bit.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I'll be all, like, # I prefer... #
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- That sounds a thousand... That is brilliant compared to that other one. - That is much better.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# I prefer
0:04:26 > 0:04:29# Oooooh... #
0:04:29 > 0:04:32'At the minute, I'm actually trying to put a harmony down'
0:04:32 > 0:04:37and make it sound rocky at the same time, which is becoming a hard task.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Harder than would be expected and I'm getting a wee bit annoyed.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's not about what I want, it's for the good of the song.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46That does not sound good. I'm sorry, it sounds awful.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Why don't you sing it? - It's not that, it's just the "oooh".
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It just doesn't sound like there's a place for it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm only saying what I think. I don't like it. It sounds like shit.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Well, then don't ask me to sing it. - I'm only telling the truth.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Carly!- I don't criticise you and say you don't sound...
0:05:02 > 0:05:05You criticise Vicky every other day - "Sing it like this, like that."
0:05:05 > 0:05:10I'm only telling the truth and Vicky's saying it too. We're trying to help you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14No, but I'm fed up. I'm 26. Do you know what I mean?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16She's 19, I'm trying to help her.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Wee things like this are what ruin a band
0:05:19 > 0:05:21so I'm a wee bit concerned, to be honest.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25But that's the thing, you don't say this to the camera.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27You wait till you're on your own with me.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I felt you were being very patronising, saying, "I'm 26 and she's only 18."
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- You have eight years on me. Maybe I do need to grow up. - I didn't say that, that's your words.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- No, you said I'm 26... - I'm just saying have a wee bit of respect for what I have to say.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I'm saying it in front of the camera cos we're close friends
0:05:43 > 0:05:46and I don't want the camera thinking we're not.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yeah.- And that's why I'm saying sort it out now.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, come here. Carrying on like that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55We've only known each other three months and we're best friends,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58always on the phone, going out, doing everything together.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I love the both of them. They're brilliant, both of them.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06# I might be the way everybody likes to say
0:06:06 > 0:06:10# I know what you're thinking about me
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Imagine - mohawk, Curious Tails jacket. Very cool, very...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I think he needs... - Yeah, but I'm sorry, listen.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Again, did anybody here ever watch The First Wives Club?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Yes.- You know the bit whenever Monique's mother... Remember, Goldie Hawn doesn't get the part
0:06:27 > 0:06:32and the girl's with her and she's getting into the character and she goes, "I'm thinking streaks."
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That's what yous are doing to me - streaks.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Before you're thinking about what's real here.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40What's real is an injection of your voices with each other, getting your dynamics.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Even for now, just go do-ba-do - put a little more street into it, a bit more funk into it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48To stand there like that, it's just making my bowels move, really.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51# And it's me, I know, I know my name
0:06:51 > 0:06:53# Cos I say it proud. #
0:06:53 > 0:06:54No, that's ridiculous.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57That's not even in tune, Carly, for some reason.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I don't know - is it not nice for you to sing?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You just have to pretend, like. It's like an act.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Just put your ego on and give it
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and be yourself when you're not doing it. That's the plan.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Yeah. He's a wee bit hard but he gets results.- That's the main thing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16No, like, I was scared to bring yous up cos, you know,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20my skin's this thick already because of him but I know a way to take him.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- He gets results so don't be taking it personally. - I don't, I'm loving it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's brilliant, it's what we need.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I think they need an awful lot of harmony work in order to make it as a pop band.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Listening to Kat sing on her own,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37you'd see that she's very much a soloist.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I could see her being very grungy and on her own.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I don't know how well she's going to mould into the whole group.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48But I do think if they pull it together and try to get more movement out of her,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I just think... Cos she's got a great voice.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I just think they need to keep it tight.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57# Looking for the right track Always on the wrong track
0:07:57 > 0:08:01# But are you catching all these Tracks
0:08:01 > 0:08:03# That I'm laying down for you. #
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Do you want to know something?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09That was actually beginning to sound like something, girls, honestly.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13'Their potential's there. The voices are there, everything was there.'
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's just THEY are not there.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I'm just so skint. I don't have a job so...
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- I'm going to be on the look for a job.- Victoria wants to be a lady of leisure already.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- She's just left a job. - She's living the dream, already.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I just can't be doing working. I just don't like working.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- She just wants a band. - I just want money for nothing.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So, we're now going to Lavery's to try and get some money. Money!
0:08:44 > 0:08:49So, we'll be saying to peeps, "Get the money out." Let's hope they're a wee bit drunk.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- SHE SCREAMS - No, I can't. I'm not even joking.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm not even joking, please, I can't do this. I'm not going in.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- You have to. - No, I swear I can't do it. I can't.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Please help Belfast band Voodoo.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Hi, do you want to help Belfast band Voodoo?- Ah, no.- Stingy!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Thank you.- Oh, thanks very much, thank you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Our launch night will be here on 20th June.- Yes, 20th June in here.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Upstairs?- Yeah, come and see us.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Thank you very much.- Thanks so much.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Nothing's changed, you got your loan in two weeks ago.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Bollocks. Lying bastards. - What sort of music do you play? - Just really soft rock.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I fucking hate soft rock, to be honest.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- What's wrong with it? - Like what, fucking like...
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Kind of Pink, like.- Pink's not soft rock, she's fucking pop.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39She's moved on.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm sorry, I can't look at myself in the mirror
0:09:42 > 0:09:45if I'm supporting a Pink-style rock band.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Who got the most money? Me - you have to be nice.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Yeah, cos you know the manager. - You have to be nice.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53# Voodoo I can do what you do, easy. #
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Firstly, we have Emmanuel eating us alive for everything we're worth,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02then we come out with all these people who really don't want to give us any money.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- They keep saying no and we're like, OK.- Don't get what we're doing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:1255 quid, and there's about another - I'd say 20, 40, 60 -
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'd say there's about 60 quid there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Excuse me, can we have one more Coke, please?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Our launch is on the 20th of June in Lavery's,
0:10:21 > 0:10:26and it's a 500-people capacity, so we're hoping to fill that out
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and we're just going to do a very theatre-style show
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and really theatrical and fire-breathers and that sort of thing going on.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Cos Carly has so many friend dancers eager to get on board,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39it's going to put her in a very difficult position.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I might not even sit in the auditions, to be honest.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You know them best. You know more about dancing than us.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- We'll be sitting there... - He has nice hair.- OK.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Can you get them to take off their tops?- No!
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Do you know what we'll have to do? We'll have to go home and learn every song individually ourselves,
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- so we know them for whenever they get polished up.- We'll have to get dancers in for rehearsals NOW.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Before now. - Do they have to have good physique?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Don't be writing that.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- The drag act or the dancers? - The dancers.- No, because...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14No, the drag act, I mean.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- Not them ones.- They're probably all like...- Yeah, the dancers have to.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34We just want the 25 minutes we're on stage to be really remembered.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Hit, and you're looking at us, down. Ripple up.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44I'm looking for someone who's going to be in time with the music
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and going to have a nice style of dancing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Going to make us look good rather than outshine us.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52We want backing dancers, we still want to be the front.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56We'll chat about it but I'm going to leave it up to Dean and Carly.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05We don't know who we're going with yet. I'm deciding, not fucking him.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- You mind tell him, Katrina.- Right. You just tell him. You just say...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- We'll all tell him.- I want to go with them all for the opening number.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15For the big one, all of them.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Well, if it's in your budget
0:12:17 > 0:12:19to have that many dancers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- It is, it's fine. - Cool. I'm happy enough with that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24We've got the dancers, so that's the main thing.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28So, let's see how good they are at rehearsals. That's another story.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32# Follow me, show me What you can do. #
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yeah?- Yeah, good.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Step. Yes, that's it. That's your counts.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Yeah, let me see you do that. That's your counts.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Let me see yous two do that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It'll be grand, stop panicking.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I'm shit at this.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Kat and Vic are having a heart attack about dancing. He's only doing a bit of head-bopping.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Wait till he starts the routines, she'll take a heart attack.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- But we're not doing routines. - We are. It's a flipping show.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Five, six, seven, eight.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Oh, my God. Injury before you go on. - Is my tooth chipped?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Is it not chipped? That's OK, keep going.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The girls are brilliant.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I feel sorry for them cos they have to remember harmonies,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18the words of their songs, their movements, their positions,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22their character, trying to perform it all. And the boys in the background -
0:13:22 > 0:13:25the two of them have to work together.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30# All eyes on me in the centre of The ring just like a circus
0:13:30 > 0:13:34# When I crack that whip everybody Gonna trip just like a circus
0:13:34 > 0:13:39# Don't stand there watching me Follow me, show me what you can do
0:13:39 > 0:13:43# Everybody gonna make it to the Dance floor just like a circus. #
0:13:43 > 0:13:45All I can hear is people breathing.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47But you're going to get that anyway.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But you can't hear you singing, only breathing.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52The only person I can hear is you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56THE GIRLS PRACTISE HARMONIES
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Needs work until it's a bit more solid for that bit.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Sorry, I can't remember my harmony. I don't know what's going on.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06This is Mark and he's offered to help us.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08He really wants to help us.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12We're so privileged to have him on our side and he'll be backing us at the launch.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17# That's where it's true Hey there, Delilah,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19# Don't you worry about the distance
0:14:19 > 0:14:23# I'm right here if you get lonely Give a song... #
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Just making tea or whatever, just sing every day
0:14:26 > 0:14:29because honestly, your voice just gets better and better.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34I love singing when you're on the toilet cos it sounds much better in the bathroom.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It sounds better in the bathroom. It echoes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40# Well, since I've come on home Well, my body's been a mess
0:14:40 > 0:14:45# And I miss your ginger hair And the way you like to dress... #
0:14:45 > 0:14:52It takes a while to get strange harmonies embedded in your head
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but once you do you, just practise them and they're great.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59# Some girls like trips really far
0:14:59 > 0:15:03# I'd rather a guy who can play the guitar
0:15:03 > 0:15:04# Ain't it easy. #
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'm flat.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It's nice when you're not yelled at.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14See, you can do it in a nice, productive way without screaming and saying you're shit.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Our outgoings are, like... The dancers alone are costing us like £1,000.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- No, they're not. - Yeah, they are.- Fuck away off.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25They're getting a better wage than us!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Me and my fucking mates would have danced.- You'll get sorted too.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31No, what I'm saying - £1,000 for dancers, are yous nuts?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41I just don't think all of us are being dedicated enough.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I'm sorry but I don't.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I was on the phone to Emmanuel, he's like,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46"How's the band coming along? Are yous ready?"
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I was, like, "You having a laugh? We haven't even went through one song."
0:15:50 > 0:15:52He's like, "Your launch is in two weeks.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56"Do you want to stand on stage and look like an eejit and not be prepared?"
0:15:56 > 0:15:58No-one's talking to me about nothing.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Yous two are blabbing away and know everything and no-one's telling me fuck-all.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I just find it's probably more my fault
0:16:06 > 0:16:10cos I'm maybe taking too much to do with everything.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13At the minute, I'm just not happy about it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We have a launch in two weeks and if we're not ready,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18then I'm not going on stage.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22# Oh oh, I am finding
0:16:23 > 0:16:27# That's not the way I want my story to end. #
0:16:27 > 0:16:28It's nice.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31This is the new Voodoo means of transportation.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36I don't know where it is. What? You're not allowed to go up there.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40She's a completely amazing driver, which is why she's still alive,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43cos did you see the way she drives? It's not even normal.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46# All eyes on me in the centre of The ring just like a circus
0:16:46 > 0:16:49# When I crack that whip Everybody's gonna trip
0:16:49 > 0:16:51# Just like a circus
0:16:51 > 0:16:55# Don't stand there watching me Follow me, show me what you can do
0:16:55 > 0:16:59# Everybody let go we can make the Dance floor just like a circus
0:16:59 > 0:17:01# Ah-ah-ah-ah. #
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- I'm completely traumatised. We've got two weeks and that's it. - I know. I'm ready to vomit.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I've asked yous to go over and over and over it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I really have been. - Is it not good?- No.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- What are you going to be like when there's... How many people coming to watch this launch?- 300-plus.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- I actually feel like a nervous wreck.- How bad was I?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Collectively, I was sat going, I'm scundered.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- I want to talk to yous about a manager.- I think we need a manager.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think there's been a couple of wee things and we're mates
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and it's hard to draw a line in the sand and say, "Look..."
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I find it dead hard and I'm really uncomfortable with it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Everyone needs to know exactly and a manager could do that for us.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- What do yous think?- Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Who do you think we should talk to about it? Mark?- Catriona.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Fuck, she'd sort you out. - She'd be alright.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Catriona really wants to be our manager.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Do you think she'd be a good manager? Think she would?- I do.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05She'd be scary. "Oh, get to rehearsal! Ah!"
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What's her specific role?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Stylist/promoter/everything.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Hello, Cat. You're on loudspeaker and the camera's on, right?- 'Why?'
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Because we want to ask you something.- 'What are you asking?'
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Voodoo have come to the decision that they need a management team.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- 'Right.'- And we want you to be part of our management team.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Are you happy with that? - 'I'm happy with that, yeah.'
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Are you sure?- 'Yes.' - Good cos we love you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35'Right, this week, we need to get tickets distributed,'
0:18:35 > 0:18:39we need to get the fire-breathers, we need to get the DJ,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44we need to get the photos from JMX to get the PR material, get the press releases out,

0:18:50 > 0:18:54we need to get ourselves up to scratch, get outfits.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You can have a 50-page list, if you please.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's probably going to be easier than wondering what I have to do.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02PIERCING ELECTRICAL SOUND
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, fuck!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Seriously, you have to stop. That's fucking wild. Jesus Christ, sorry.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Launch at the end of the month in Lavery's
0:19:24 > 0:19:27so, that'll be make or break, I think.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Come to the launch and see. We're giving it everything.

0:19:40 > 0:19:46# I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight... #
0:19:46 > 0:19:48What I says to Kat the other day, I said to her,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51"I am sick of looking at your two faces."
0:19:51 > 0:19:54She says, "Same here." Everybody's getting that bit fed up.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00MUSIC DROWNS OUT SINGING

0:22:16 > 0:22:19'You can't describe the feeling before you go on stage
0:22:19 > 0:22:23'but you have so much adrenaline that if you go wrong, you don't even care.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26'It's really weird and you know you'll pick it up.'
0:22:26 > 0:22:27With the crowd singing along with you,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30sometimes they don't even hear the mistakes.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32As long as you perform to the highest...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35You're not always going to have notes and harmonies perfect,
0:22:35 > 0:22:36not on a first launch night.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40# I think life
0:22:40 > 0:22:44# Is what you make it
0:22:44 > 0:22:48# What's the point
0:22:48 > 0:22:52# Trying to fake it? #
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Thank you so much for all your support, we really appreciate it.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Look out for Voodoo. Trudy, we haven't forgotten you.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I know, tonight, I just felt like I came into my own or something.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I just really went for it, like, and that's all...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10My mummy was in tears - she was, like, "You shone so brightly," like.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13She couldn't believe it. She was like...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I mean, I've been singing for years and she's heard me.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18She's like, "How many times have I heard you sing?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22"Tonight, that was yours. That's what you were born to do and meant to do.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24"We're behind you and we'll keep going.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28"If you're 50 or 60 or 70, till you get there, like, keep going
0:23:28 > 0:23:31"and we'll support you." I was all filled up and choked up.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32We did it!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Let's go get drunk.- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42If people in our own area know us, then that's some support.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Home-grown support - isn't that how you start, like?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- First west Belfast, then the world. - West Belfast, then the gays. We've already got the gays.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Love the gays.- We've got the gays.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We need the boys now and we'll get the industry.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Voodoo, Voodoo, Voodoo!
0:24:08 > 0:24:13You're very welcome to the County Down final of the U Factor.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- I can't get in this.- Get in! - I can't.- She's claustrophobic.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Give me two seconds, I'll get you upstairs.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Vicky.- I can't, I can't. Seriously.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Vicky, it's only one wee floor.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Up next, three young ladies - together they are Voodoo!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41# Then it drops Catches like fire
0:24:41 > 0:24:42# It's a sound of... #
0:24:42 > 0:24:46BOOING AND SHUSHING
0:24:46 > 0:24:48If you can't harmonise, you shouldn't be where you are.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Because I do it for a living. - Come up and do it then! - I'm a professional. No!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Carly, don't stoop to their level.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Love it! Love it!
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Let go of me, Geraldine. Let go of me!- Carly, stop.- Come on outside.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- I'm going to get her.- No!- I am.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12One girl said "sluts", so Carly's annoyed, obviously, so am I,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15but I don't want to let myself down. We're only down to sing.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19It's really bitchy. I wish we had went to the Belfast heat, I think.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I am only announcing the name of the winner.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26£2,000 for...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29..Una McMullen!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- We're gutted, to be honest. - Absolutely gutted.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It was an audience vote so what can we do?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Fair play to yous - you've got a great attitude. - Thank you.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Put the song over well. Unfortunate they were beaten by a couple of votes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We had three cousins that couldn't make it cos of flu.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And they come from Belfast, so nobody else can get a word in. Aarrgghh!
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Three votes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Is that hurting? - You should torture people with this.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06That's only for a set of eyelashes - wait till you're getting Botox.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07You can be an amazing wee singing group
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but you can be in a working man's club singing
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Friday, Saturday, Sunday night.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15To me, that's not - no disrespect to anybody that's doing that -
0:26:15 > 0:26:20but that's not being a success at your craft, like, so hopefully...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23We like to think we're good enough but you just don't know.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Some days you're so, "What are we doing, where are we going?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30"What's next?" You're banging doors and no-one's answering them
0:26:30 > 0:26:33but we'll keep going, like.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36You know us three, we'll not stop till somebody lets us in.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Carly, I can't breathe.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- She's beautiful.- I'm not, I'm obese.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48The manager's blocked. Is she steaming? Why are you so drunk?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Have an iced water and then come and meet us.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Don't forget the CD. I'm going to go and put my shoes on.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- The clothes, your CD - do you have it?- Yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Where's Vicky?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I forgot about her.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Manager's blocked and Vicky's went AWOL. We're good.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Do you have the CD? - No. I forgot the CD.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Oh, for fuck's sake!- I forgot. - I told you twice.- I'm sorry.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I knew she'd forget that. She'd forget her head.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Why do you put me as responsible for stuff? Hello...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Goes to the shops for accessories and leaves her keys on the accessories stand,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29leaves her handbag in places. Leaves everything, you know?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33She wasn't great with remembering, now she's forgot the CD I asked her to lift twice.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37By the time we get there it'll be 1am. Do you know I've to go to work tomorrow?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Vicky's not answering to me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47DJ PLAYS VOODOO SONG
0:27:54 > 0:27:56THEY SCREAM
0:28:02 > 0:28:08We're in the number one hotspot in Belfast at the minute and for them to play our song,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11it's an achievement and we're so proud.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14# Someday you're going to find me
0:28:14 > 0:28:18# Holding on to something That might have been
0:28:18 > 0:28:22# I'm telling you that it's over I need closure. #
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Fed up of being told I'm flat and I'm off.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28I said, "You're never being told whenever you're flat and off."
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I think Kat should be out on her own.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I don't care. In this industry, you don't need to be the best singer.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36We've said that every time. You don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You know, after the anger and hurt and all that's died down,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41we're back to the beginning again.
