0:00:02 > 0:00:04THEY SING
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Hundreds auditioned...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10but only eight were chosen...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13THEY SING
0:00:13 > 0:00:15..to battle it out...
0:00:15 > 0:00:16No way.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Pow.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21..for the ultimate gig...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23I could have the chance to finally make it.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25..but with their mums as the judges...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Sorry, can I start again?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I knew from the first note that it wasn't working.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34..and some seriously tough challenges...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Oh, wow!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37I can't do it.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- I am a bit upset.- I'm so sorry.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42..will they still want a career in the music industry...?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45If I'm honest, I don't know, I'm just super scared.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46I literally can't sing that song.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48The competition is really hotting up.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51..when they find out what it's really like?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- It's brutal, there are no days off. - You're always being watched.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- I've completely forgotten them. - Relax.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58You're always being judged.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I don't really want to answer that question.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03This is Got What It Takes.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Why do you think you've got what it takes?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That's a very tricky question.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# So come on tell me what's it going to be
0:01:12 > 0:01:15# I've got, got, got what it takes now
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# Are you going to give me Going to make me see
0:01:18 > 0:01:21# I've got, got, got what it takes now
0:01:21 > 0:01:26# Oh, oh...got, got, got what it takes now.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32# Oh, oh...got, got, got what it takes now. #
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hi, guys, I'm Lauren Platt and this is me in action.
0:01:39 > 0:01:46# Let it go, let it go turn my back and slam the door... #
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I've already had a taste of what it's like to be
0:01:49 > 0:01:53treated like a superstar and I won't lie, it's fun...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:56 > 0:01:58..but it's not all celebrity parties,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01luxury homes and staggering bank balances, I can tell you that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Lauren, can you come and do the dishes?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, if you want to know what it's really like...keep watching.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Welcome to the music mansion.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16The new home of eight talented young singers and their mums.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21I want to be in the limelight.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I love being centre of attention.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29When I'm at school, I always sing and I get
0:02:29 > 0:02:33detentions for singing sometimes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I'm not really a soft singer.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I like to go for the big notes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I would describe myself as a rock chick.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I would describe myself as more of a popper than a rocker.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50For me, music isn't just music.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52To me, it's, like, a way of my life.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57My message to the other performers is watch out.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01My dream is that I want to make it out there.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I think I've got what it takes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11With everyone here, it's time to reveal what's really at stake.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Hi, everybody! And welcome to the Got What It Takes headquarters.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You guys have all done amazingly well to be here
0:03:18 > 0:03:20but for one of you there's an even bigger opportunity.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28And this is so exciting.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32One of you will get to perform on stage...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38at Radio One's Big Weekend.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Radio One's Big Weekend? I can't believe this.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I think it will be an amazing opportunity.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I really want to win now.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I think it's...game on.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But to earn that opportunity, you guys have got a lot of hard work
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and some really competitive challenges ahead of you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Are you ready? Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Let's go.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I think it's so, so exciting for them and I think it will teach them
0:04:14 > 0:04:16something massive about the industry as well.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But they do have a long way to go yet.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21# I got, got, got what it takes now. #
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Each episode, only three of the kids will get to
0:04:25 > 0:04:28perform in an end-of-show sing-off.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And those places can be won in a series of challenges.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But first, the group will be learning the song with a music maestro -
0:04:35 > 0:04:37David Tench.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41In the music industry, you have to be focused all the time.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44If you drop your guard, then people will always be there to give
0:04:44 > 0:04:47you a bad review. Hi, everyone. Hi.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm kind of used to working with singers and trying to find
0:04:50 > 0:04:53out their strengths and what they're good at and bring out
0:04:53 > 0:04:56the best in them so, hopefully I can do that for all of you.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00So, guys, I'll bet you're dying to find out what your first song is.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- ALL:- Yes.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Well, the song you'll be competing to perform this week is...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Yes!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13# I will be loving you
0:05:13 > 0:05:19# Till we're 70... #
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Thinking Out Loud was Ed Sheeran's second single to hit the number one
0:05:23 > 0:05:28spot and the first track ever to spend a year in the UK top 40.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30# ...hard at 23. #
0:05:30 > 0:05:34But will a love ballad suit everyone in the group?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Paddy, you look like you like that one.- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42I know it quite well and I'm very confident how I sing it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I don't like that song. I think it's really cringy. I don't know.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Oh, my gosh.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I've tried singing this before, performing it,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and it really didn't go as planned.
0:05:51 > 0:05:59# Darling, I will be loving you till we're 70...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06# And, baby, my heart... #
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I felt kind of happy
0:06:08 > 0:06:11because I'm familiar with that song,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I sing it all the time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18# People fall in love in mysterious ways... #
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I love this song and I'm not sure
0:06:20 > 0:06:22whether everyone loved it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24They didn't all look overly happy about
0:06:24 > 0:06:26the song when I revealed it to them.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29They have to be adaptable otherwise they're not going to make it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35# Maybe we found love right where we are. #
0:06:37 > 0:06:39APPLAUSE
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Thank you, guys.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43OK, I'm going
0:06:43 > 0:06:45to leave you now but when I come back three of you
0:06:45 > 0:06:47will be performing the song.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Who's it going to be? Good luck.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'll see you later.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- ALL:- Bye.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56David Tench is the musical director of The Voice
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and has worked with superstars like Kylie Minogue and Take That.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, guys, I want to get a sense of how you all sing.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05And he wants to see what our eight are capable of.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08For now, I think what we'll do is have you take a line each.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09OK, here's the intro.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15# When your legs don't work like they used to before...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21# ..And I can't sweep you off of your feet... #
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Yeah, good.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28# Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34# Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks...? #
0:07:34 > 0:07:35OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40# And, darling, I will be loving you
0:07:40 > 0:07:43# Till we're 70. #
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's so good to have all the singers there right in front of me
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and I can get a real sense of their unique styles.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54I was quite interested to how much confidence each singer had.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01# Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes... #
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Yeah, go on, son.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04This Ed Sheeran song, you know, it's...
0:08:04 > 0:08:07it sits more comfortably in some of the singers' voices.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09#..staaaand. #
0:08:09 > 0:08:11What is it?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Is it...just the high bit, isn't it?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15That's where you just grab the mic. And go, yes!
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I can't sing that note, I'm sorry.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Go for it, love, you can do it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Lola was, straight away, showing that she wasn't
0:08:20 > 0:08:22really into the song.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25# Take me into your loving arms. #
0:08:25 > 0:08:29You know, when you have to sing covers some people don't like to do it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32But it's a very important part of the industry, you know?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35People go on the Live Lounge on Radio 1 and they're doing covers all the time.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I just find it difficult, like, doing an exact cover of a song
0:08:38 > 0:08:40because I usually write my own stuff.
0:08:43 > 0:08:4414-year-old Lola is a
0:08:44 > 0:08:46strong minded singer from Kent.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48This is my daughter, Lola.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51No, you said this is Lola, my daughter.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'll do it again. This is my daughter, Lola.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I think I should start actually.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And she's already an experienced songwriter.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Music's huge in my life.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I mean, writing music is all I do.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07# Do you remember last summer Because I remember it clearly... #
0:09:08 > 0:09:13When I'm writing music I feel like I go somewhere else almost.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16At the auditions she made a big impression singing one of her
0:09:16 > 0:09:17own tracks.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# Never made sense the way you
0:09:19 > 0:09:21# Tell me you miss me
0:09:21 > 0:09:23# And then you turn it right around,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25# Yeah, you turn it right around... #
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But how will she cope covering someone else's?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32She really knows what she wants
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and she really knows what she doesn't want.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm not this evil stroppy teenager who, like,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- comes in with...- Really? Sorry! - Just cut that out.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45LAUGHTER
0:09:45 > 0:09:48There are things we can do to, sort of, coolify it,
0:09:48 > 0:09:49make it a little less cheesy.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You know, with different accompaniment,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53this can have a completely different feel.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I just find it hard to put my own
0:09:55 > 0:09:58spin on it, which I'm going to have to work at.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01# I got, got, got what it takes now. #
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Breaking into the music industry definitely isn't easy
0:10:06 > 0:10:08but is it glamorous, once you have?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Yo, we're Rudimental! Have you got what it takes?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14The lifestyle is not as glamorous as it looks.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17It's um, some very early hours.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Is it glamorous?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21No, it's definitely not glamorous in the beginning, either.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I've got a son at home who I haven't probably seen for the last
0:10:25 > 0:10:27two and a half weeks and that breaks my heart.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's also a lot of hard work and you've got to be ready to
0:10:29 > 0:10:33put in that hard work, otherwise it's not going to pay off.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Each episode, two end-of-show sing-off spots are up for grabs
0:10:37 > 0:10:41in a music industry challenge, and it's time for the first.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We've got a message from Lauren.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47'Hey, guys. Sometimes you might be asked to perform in a way that's'
0:10:47 > 0:10:49completely out of your comfort zone.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I know you're all aspiring solo artists but in today's challenge,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54we're going to see if you can cut it in a group.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57# La, la, la... #
0:10:57 > 0:11:00THEY LAUGH
0:11:00 > 0:11:01# Yeah, come on. #
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Judging today's challenge is someone who knows the highs
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and lows of being in a group -
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Bradley McIntosh from '90s pop sensations S Club 7.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12# DJ's got this party started, there's no end in sight
0:11:12 > 0:11:16# Everybody's moving to the rhythm that's inside... #
0:11:16 > 0:11:20S Club had four number ones and a number-one selling album
0:11:20 > 0:11:23but most of it happened before any of our eight were born.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Hey, guys. How you doing? My name's Bradley. Have you guys heard of S Club 7?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28ALL: Yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Right, cool. So we released our first single in 1998.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I was 16 years old and we beat Madonna to number one, which was amazing.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37That was incredible. Incredible feeling for all of us.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38So how was it, being so young?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You're going to be away from your parents, away from your friends,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43especially if you're travelling around the world.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46That's one of the toughest things that I found being in the group.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48What was it like when you finished the group?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Cos you've just come off this wild rollercoaster
0:11:50 > 0:11:52adventure for the past five years,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56it does hit you a little bit and you go, you know, well - what next?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58One of the biggest mistakes that some people make is thinking
0:11:58 > 0:12:01that, "If I leave school early, I know what I'm going to do.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04"It's definitely going to happen. I'm definitely going to make it."
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I mean, that's not realistic. We never know how things are going to turn out.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09So always have something to fall back on.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Bradley made me realise it's not all fun and games.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I never really thought about it, like, how you can be so well-known
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and famous and then you go back to just living a normal life.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Now we've got all the serious stuff out of the way,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24we're going to do something a little bit fun right now. So I've got a challenge for you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28The kids' first industry challenge is to form two new pop groups
0:12:28 > 0:12:32and do their own versions of one of Bradley's biggest hits.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33One, two, three, four.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39# DJ got the party started, there's no end in sight
0:12:39 > 0:12:43# Everybody's moving to the rhythm that's inside
0:12:43 > 0:12:49# It's a crazy world but tonight's the right situation
0:12:49 > 0:12:51# Don't get left behind
0:12:51 > 0:12:55# Don't stop moving, can't you feel the music
0:12:55 > 0:12:59# DJ's got us going round, round
0:12:59 > 0:13:03# Don't stop moving, find your own way to it
0:13:03 > 0:13:06# Listen to the music
0:13:06 > 0:13:12# Taking you to places that you've Never been before
0:13:12 > 0:13:18# Baby, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woooh. #
0:13:18 > 0:13:22ALL: Woo!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Let's get going. You ready?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Come on!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The eight singers have been split into two groups.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Group one is Paddy, Rai-Elle Lola and Amaria.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38# DJ's got the party started, there's no end in sight
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- # Everybody moving to..#- That's her.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44THEY LAUGH
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Group Two is Becky, Lily, Matt, and Evan.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50When it goes, # DJ's got us going... #
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Then we all stop and one of us goes # Around, round... #- Yeah.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Later, Bradley will be picking one winner from each group,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02based on their teamwork, input to the song and their performance.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- # Don't get left behind... #- Oh! - Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Being in a group is really hard. Everybody has different styles
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and trying to find a part of the song that's going to
0:14:10 > 0:14:14complement your style is really what they are trying to figure out now.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15# Don't get left behind... #
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- So you've got to...up a few notches above her.- Because you're singing quite low, so...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22While the groups try to work out their versions of the song...
0:14:22 > 0:14:26# Don't stop moving to the S Club beat... #
0:14:26 > 0:14:28..Bradley has caught up with the mums.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31How do you feel? What are your thoughts about your kids getting into, you know,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33getting into the music industry?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37It does concern me a lot - the media. And how people react.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It is really tough.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41You have to be kind of mentally strong to be able to take
0:14:41 > 0:14:44a lot of that criticism from different people.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48The main thing is to have your support. That's your part to play.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51You've got to make sure that they've got that support base at home.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Always run back to mum.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55That's what I did. I always ran back to my mum or dad! You know!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Both groups have prepared a version of Bradley's number-one hit.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05But now, they have to perform it to him.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08My objective is to find one member from each group, which is going to
0:15:08 > 0:15:12be really tough and I've got to say, I don't envy Simon Cowell one bit!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19First to the stage are Evan, Becky, Matt and Lily.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21OK, guys.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24When you're ready.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28One, two, three, four.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32# DJ's got the party started, there's no place in sight
0:15:32 > 0:15:36# Everybody's moving to the # rhythm that's inside
0:15:36 > 0:15:40# It's a crazy world but tonight's the right situation
0:15:40 > 0:15:44# Don't get left behind
0:15:44 > 0:15:48# Don't stop moving, can you feel the music
0:15:48 > 0:15:53# DJ's got us going around, 'round
0:15:53 > 0:15:56# Don't stop moving, find your own way to it
0:15:56 > 0:15:58# Listen to the music
0:15:58 > 0:16:03# Taking you to places that you've never been before
0:16:03 > 0:16:08# Baby now. #
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Brilliant!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Wicked. That was awesome.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's a solid performance from the first group.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18We rocked that.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I think we did quite well, yeah.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Hoping to better it are Amaria, Lola, Rai-Elle and Paddy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29OK, guys. Take a deep breath.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Ready when you are.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38# DJ's got the party started there's no end in sight
0:16:38 > 0:16:43# Everybody's moving to the rhythm that's inside
0:16:43 > 0:16:50# It's a crazy world but tonight's the right situation
0:16:50 > 0:16:53# Don't get left behind
0:16:53 > 0:16:57# Don't stop moving, can you feel the music
0:16:57 > 0:17:02# DJ's got us going around, 'round
0:17:02 > 0:17:07# Don't stop moving, find your own way to it
0:17:07 > 0:17:10# Find... # Sorry!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12# That you've never seen before
0:17:12 > 0:17:17# Baby now. #
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Cool, cool. That's wicked. That was really, really good.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Really, really good.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I was a bit upset.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I think it went OK but if I didn't forget my words, it would have gone better.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- You done well. - Don't worry. It was fine.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35I think it was really good.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Paddy really, really wants to be a singer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40He really wants the opportunity.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43But I think it's a cut-throat industry.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44I hope he can accept that
0:17:44 > 0:17:48there'll probably be many knockbacks.
0:17:48 > 0:17:5212-year-old Paddy from Lancashire only started singing three years ago.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And he hasn't stopped since.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Patrick sings generally everywhere.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59In the car.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Tossed it in the trash, you did... #
0:18:02 > 0:18:05In the bath, in the shower, on the toilet.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07HE HUMS
0:18:07 > 0:18:12At the auditions, Paddy give a powerful rendition of one of his favourite songs.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16# Take a bullet straight through my brain
0:18:16 > 0:18:18# Yes, I would die for you, baby... #
0:18:20 > 0:18:23But there is one area of his game that still needs work.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28My worst thing when I'm performing would probably be forgetting words.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33I think Patrick needs to work on just his confidence, really. Believing in himself.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Despite forgetting his words, Paddy is still in the running.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Bradley is going to pick one individual from each group
0:18:46 > 0:18:48who's impressed him the most.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Both groups are really good but I'm going to have to pick a good
0:18:51 > 0:18:54all-rounder and there's two people that I think...
0:18:55 > 0:18:56..I've got them.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03The two he chooses will get to perform in the end-of-show sing-off.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06This has got to be one of the hardest things I've ever done.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Seeing you sing, I mean, there's no doubt about it -
0:19:08 > 0:19:11every single one of you has got a future.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Based on everything that I saw today, from group one...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26..I'm going to pick Matt.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Well done.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32But from group two...
0:19:40 > 0:19:44..I went with Lola. Everyone give a round of applause. Well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I was really shocked, because everyone did amazing
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and I really didn't think I'd get it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Well done!- Well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It was quite disappointing.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Cos I was quite confident.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I think Matt deserved it. I think he was really good
0:20:01 > 0:20:04and he stood out from the rest of the group.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I know that the song I'm going to be singing
0:20:08 > 0:20:11isn't one that I particularly love.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14But I'm really excited, and I'm happy that I won.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17There could easily be a future star there, there's a lot of talent
0:20:17 > 0:20:19flowing around with those guys. I mean, who knows,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22at the end of the day, success is... It all comes down to the public.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26# I got, got, got what it takes now. #
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's the end of a long first day.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33But energy is still high in the music mansion.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Lights, action. Action! That would be...
0:20:35 > 0:20:38That made sense. Can you tell? Lights, camera rolling.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Lights, camera rolling. Action!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44This is Paddy. And this is Matt.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46We are in Matt's room rehearsing Thinking Out Loud
0:20:46 > 0:20:48by Ed Sheeran, it's going pretty well so far.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Yeah.- Matt and Lola won the challenges.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- I'm tired. It's tiring, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55# Na, na, na, na, na, na. #
0:20:57 > 0:21:01# People fall in love in mysterious ways. #
0:21:01 > 0:21:06# We are in love right here together
0:21:06 > 0:21:11# There's nothing better than singing along. #
0:21:11 > 0:21:13This is the end of the vlog.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's a new day at music mansion
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and the mums are about to face their first physical challenge.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26There's a message from Lauren, ladies.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28The winner will secure the third
0:21:28 > 0:21:31and final end-of-show Sing-Off spot for their child.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Morning, mums. To give you a clue about what you'll be facing in your
0:21:35 > 0:21:37first challenge, I thought I'd introduce you to my mum.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Go for it, Mum.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Hello. So this challenge is called Hit The Right Note.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44And to win this challenge, you don't need to be musical.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47But you do need to be able to rock and roll.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49THEY GIGGLE MUMS: Oooh!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58In the first challenge, Hit The Right Note, the mums will be going bowling,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00using themselves as the ball.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05The mum who knocks over the most musical notes will win that
0:22:05 > 0:22:07final singing spot for their child.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Keeping an eye on proceedings is our games guru, Kevin Adams,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15a choreographer and fitness trainer to the stars.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I think the mums will start off being really, really friendly,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21but when it comes down to competing for your child that's
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- when the gloves are off. - DING-DING!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28With Lola and Matt's mums getting to sit this one out,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30the pressure is on for the other six.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32You know what's at stake here today.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34There is one performance spot up for grabs,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and the mum that wins sends their child into the sing-off.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Don't let them down. But most of all, do not let me down!
0:22:41 > 0:22:42THEY GIGGLE NERVOUSLY
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I'm ready and I'm excited. Bring it on!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Let's get this challenge started. Let's go.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53First up is Amaria's mum, Jasmine.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Oh, God, I can't see!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Oh, God!- Let's go, Jasmine. Three, two, one.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02KLAXON
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Go, Jasmine, come on! Come on! That's a good speed there.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Oh, yes!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It's like a 100 metres sprint, how many's she going to get down?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14LAUGHTER
0:23:16 > 0:23:19And the score for Jasmine is four!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- APPLAUSE AND CHEERING - Well done, Jasmine.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I can't get out, I don't think.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27KLAXON
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Come on!- Next up is Lily's mum, Lisa...
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Come on, Mum!
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Boom!
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- ..Evan's mum, Fiona...- Come on, Mum, yes! Come on, Mum!- Go, go, go!
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Boom. Come on, boom!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47..and Becky's mum, Linda...
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Whoo! Well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56..who only managed to knock down three pins each.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- I let you down, didn't I? Sorry. - It's all right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I would like to have won it for you,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but, at least I made it to the skittles(!)
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Which means that Amaria and Jasmine are still in the lead.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I've got four down, the rest have got three.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14But it's nerve-racking because they always leave the best till last.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Next up and hoping to knock Jasmine off the top spot is
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Rai-Elle's mum, Bernice.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Bit scary.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Three, two, one. - KLAXON
0:24:23 > 0:24:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We're off to a flying start there.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Oh, great technique there. Good pace. She's going. She's going.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Boom!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And the score for Bernice is another four.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44So, your mum and your mum both have four, and lastly, is Paddy's mum.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50The pressure is now on Diane to knock down more than four notes,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54to win Paddy that third, and final, place in the end of show sing-off.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm so nervous.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Hopefully, it's best till last, and I really want to sing the Ed Sheeran
0:24:59 > 0:25:03song because it's one of my most favourite songs in the world.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10OK, Diane. Three, two, one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11- KLAXON - Go!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Go on, Mum!- Come on, Diane. Great technique there. Great pace.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Oh, wow! That is some serious speed.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Boom!
0:25:27 > 0:25:28That's five out.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- How many have I got? - You got five! Woohoo!
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Yes!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Diane came up trumps, five!
0:25:39 > 0:25:40I just focused, and just thought,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Patrick really wanted to do this song. I just went for it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44So, yes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48THEY CHATTER OVER EACH OTHER
0:25:50 > 0:25:52So Paddy will be joining Lola
0:25:52 > 0:25:56and Matt in the first end-of-show sing-off in front of the mums.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59They will each be performing their own version of Ed Sheeran's
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Thinking Out Loud...
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Hi.- How you doing?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04..and musical director, David Tench,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07doesn't have long to get them prepared.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11When Lauren announced the song, you quite clearly said,
0:26:11 > 0:26:12"This is not for me."
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Yeah, definitely.- Right. - I was not happy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Close your eyes, throw your head back, and just see what happens.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24# We found love right where we are...
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Fantastic.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I would say that what you've got going on is beautiful,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- but it's too quiet, Lola. - My comfort zone is my own music.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37But I think I can pull it off. I have hope that I can pull it off.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38I'm not going to say I have confidence,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40because right now I don't. Not going to lie.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45# Is a... #
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Oh, I've messed up there!
0:26:47 > 0:26:53# Honey, I'll be loving you... #
0:26:53 > 0:26:55..I messed that up. Are we doing the second one or the first one?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57It's "only your soul could never grow old."
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I didn't know which one we were doing.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02If you're going to go into the performance and you're not
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- quite sure, maybe we should have a little stand with the words on for you?- Yeah, sure.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It wouldn't be my song of choice.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I think there are other people who could, er,
0:27:11 > 0:27:12be better than me in that song.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14What about the sense in the lyrics?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Do you feel like you can connect? - I know what the song is about.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Like, people growing old and still loving each other,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24but yesterday, when we were singing a song, I forgot my lyrics.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It helps me if I try and put a picture into the words that
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I have to remember.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32So, as you go through the song, "Take me into your loving arms",
0:27:32 > 0:27:35then you can think of, maybe, the arms of an orang-utan.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37They have pretty long arms.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I do get nervous before I perform. You'll be worrying if you're going
0:27:41 > 0:27:43to get something wrong, if you're going to forget the words.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It made me feel like I had to up my game and get more ready.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51David has now done everything he can.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It's time for our first Got What It Takes Sing-Off.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58We've got Lola, Matt and Paddy.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03It's going to be really interesting because they're all so, so different.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Each sing-off the mums are the judges,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and will vote to decide which performer is the winner.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13The person with the most sing-off wins after eight episodes will
0:28:13 > 0:28:16automatically qualify for the grand final.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Hi, guys. So, as you all know,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Matt, Lola and Paddy will be going head-to-head
0:28:24 > 0:28:27with their version of Thinking Out Loud, and the winner of this sing-off
0:28:27 > 0:28:32gets one step closer to that amazing opportunity, Radio One's Big Weekend.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35So, you mums are the judges, how are you guys feeling?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It feels strange being on this side of the table,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39judging other people's singing.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41This is kind of, quite intimate, with all the mums sitting here.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I think it's actually quite a difficult one.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47It feels very strange that I'm going to be judging my own son.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48So, guys, let's get started
0:28:48 > 0:28:51because I'm really getting nervous for them now.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Matt's up first. In you come, Matt.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58In rehearsals it was decided that that Matt would
0:28:58 > 0:29:00bring his lyrics in with him.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03But in a last-minute decision he has also decided to sing without
0:29:03 > 0:29:05David accompanying him.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11# When your legs don't work like they used to before
0:29:13 > 0:29:15# And I can't sweep you off of your feet
0:29:17 > 0:29:22# When my hands don't play the strings the same way
0:29:23 > 0:29:27# I know you'll still love me the same
0:29:27 > 0:29:34# Cos, honey, your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
0:29:35 > 0:29:43# And baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memories
0:29:43 > 0:29:46# I'm thinking out loud
0:29:46 > 0:29:52# Maybe we found love right where we are. #
0:29:53 > 0:29:54APPLAUSE
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Hey, Matt.- Hey.- So why did you decide not to do it with the piano?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I think because, um,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I can do more variety of notes with my voice without the piano.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I don't have to stick to one thing.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13When Matt took to the stage, and suddenly decided to sing
0:30:13 > 0:30:17without piano accompaniment, I was really shocked.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20And I felt like it actually affected his performance badly.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23So, Katie, what did you think of Matt's performance?
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Really pressured situation for him, and I'm really, super proud.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Matt, that's the first time I've heard you sing
0:30:30 > 0:30:31and I think you've got a lovely voice.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41I did do it a cappella, which I'm not sure I should have done now.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I'm just going to take in everything that's on board,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and next time you see me I think I'm going to smash it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50So, guys, up next is Lola. Come on in, Lola.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Doing covers isn't something that comes naturally to singer
0:30:56 > 0:30:57songwriter, Lola.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59So will she be able to impress the mums?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06# When your legs don't work like they used to
0:31:06 > 0:31:12# And I can't, I can't sweep you off of your feet
0:31:12 > 0:31:19# Darling, I will be loving you till we're 70
0:31:19 > 0:31:21SHE COUGHS
0:31:23 > 0:31:30# And baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
0:31:33 > 0:31:37# I'm thinking about
0:31:37 > 0:31:43# Maybe we found love right where we are. #
0:31:51 > 0:31:53So, what did you think of the performance?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Oh, Lola, I thought it was really good. Well done.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I look forward to seeing more of you.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I didn't really know what to expect. I never do when she comes on stage.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Every time she does a song it's different.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03So I'm really proud of that.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Lola's performance was amazing,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13but maybe she bit off a little bit more than she could chew.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I think, with this performance, I just tried too hard.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19That's the trouble, sometimes trying too hard doesn't get you anywhere.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22The next performance is Paddy, in you come, Paddy.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Paddy's biggest fear is forgetting his words on stage,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31so will he be able to hold his nerve in front of the panel of mums?
0:32:37 > 0:32:41# Darling, I will be loving you
0:32:41 > 0:32:45# Till we're 70
0:32:49 > 0:32:55# Baby, my heart could still fall as hard
0:32:55 > 0:32:57# At 23
0:33:01 > 0:33:05# Take me into your loving arms
0:33:07 > 0:33:12# Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
0:33:12 > 0:33:16# Oh, darling, place your hand on my beating heart
0:33:18 > 0:33:21# I'm thinking out loud
0:33:21 > 0:33:27# Maybe we found love right where we are. #
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Hey, Paddy. That was such a great performance, how are you feeling?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45I'm feeling quite happy that I've just not forgot the words.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Oh, good(!)
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I know you were worried about that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Let's go over to the mums to see what they thought.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55I think Paddy did extremely well, I'm so proud of you, well done.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Oh, Paddy, that's the first time I've heard you sing,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59and it was beautiful.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00I think it was really lovely. Well done.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- Well done, Paddy.- Thank you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09I was blown away by Paddy today.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12All the way, start to finish, he was perfect.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16It was really nerve-racking, but I managed to pull through it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Right, mums, so it's voting time.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Write down your votes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25The mums must now vote for the person they think deserves to win the first
0:34:25 > 0:34:30sing-off, taking them one step closer to that automatic spot in the final.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I think doing this is a massive learning curve for not just
0:34:33 > 0:34:35the kids, but the mums as well.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I'm sure it was really tough for them to judge the kids today,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43and I think it was a lot harder than they expected it to be.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45So, guys, I've got the winner.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51The person with the most votes today was...
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Paddy.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I think, for me, the right person won today.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10What he did was really, really simple.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Sometimes, simple is more effective.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15All the singers are facing this huge opportunity,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18to sing at Radio 1 Big Weekend.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22But, based on that first sing-off, I don't think anyone's ready yet.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Next time...
0:35:28 > 0:35:29It's a big song.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31# I wanted it, baby. #
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I am really, really nervous for them.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- HE FAILS TO HIT THE NOTE - Oh!
0:35:35 > 0:35:37THEY SCREAM
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Up you get, Linda.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41We're closing the gap. Keep the pace going.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I don't sing these kind of songs. I'm just so nervous.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Relax!
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Oh, God.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52# Place your hand on my beating heart
0:35:53 > 0:35:56# I'm thinking out loud
0:35:56 > 0:36:02# Maybe we found love right where we are. #
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Boom!
