0:00:02 > 0:00:05Eight of the UK's most talented young singers...
0:00:05 > 0:00:08THEY SING
0:00:08 > 0:00:10..are going head-to-head...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- Eh!- No way.- Pow.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16..in a battle for the ultimate gig.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Radio 1's Big Weekend.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I just can't believe it, to be honest, I just want to win.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23But with their mums as the judges...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Can I start again?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28I thought you were absolutely fabulous, I got goose pimples.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30..and some fierce competition...
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- Come on!- I don't believe I've done that!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- I am a bit upset.- I'm so sorry.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40..will they still want a career in the music industry...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42If I'm honest, I don't know. I'm just super scared.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- I literally can't sing that song. - Competition's really hotting up.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..when they find out what it's really like?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- It's brutal, there are no days off. - You're always being watched.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- I've completely forgotten.- Relax!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- You're always being judged.- I don't really want to answer that question.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00This is "Got What It Takes?"
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Why do you think you've got what it takes?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05That's a very tricky question.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09# Come on, what's it going to be?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# Got, got, got what it takes now?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15# Going to give it going to make them see
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# I got, got, got what it takes now
0:01:18 > 0:01:20# Oh, oh
0:01:20 > 0:01:23# Got, got, got what it takes now
0:01:23 > 0:01:26# Oh, oh
0:01:26 > 0:01:28# I got, got got what it takes now. #
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hey, everyone, I'm Lauren Platt.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I've already had a taste of how tough the music industry can be
0:01:37 > 0:01:39but it's nothing compared to what the singers
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and their mums will be facing this time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- I don't sing these kind of songs and I'm just so nervous.- Relax!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47I'm so nervous.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49SQUEALING
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Up you get, Linda.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53First of all, you're going in with the foundation.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I like it a lot.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Welcome back to the music mansion. Hey, guys.- Morning.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, it's a new day and you've all got a new song to learn.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I don't want to scare you, it might get a little bit hard.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13But some of the pressures that you guys will be facing are all
0:02:13 > 0:02:17pressures that you will probably face for the rest of your lives
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and in the rest of your careers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's go.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So this time it's a new song and I'm really,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29really excited about this one cos it is my all-time favourite song.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Each episode,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36only three of the kids get to perform the song in an end-off-show sing-off.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Those places can be won in a series of challenges.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43But, first, our musical director David Tench will be teaching
0:02:43 > 0:02:45the whole group the new song.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Hi.- Hiya.- So how do you think they're going to handle the song?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I think it's going to suit some singers better than others, Lauren.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's a big song. I am really, really nervous for them.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Hi, guys.- Hi.- It's time to find out what your next song is.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03- Are you excited?- Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You guys will be singing Elastic Heart by Sia.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15GIGGLING
0:03:15 > 0:03:20# But I've got thick skin and an elastic heart... #
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Elastic Heart was so popular, it remained in the charts for 34 weeks
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and there are not many people who can sing it like Sia.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34# You won't see me fall apart... #
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Matt, you're not looking too amused with the song.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I think it's quite a difficult song
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and it goes from high to low a lot of the time.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46When I hear it on the radio, it's really, really high.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I was quite worried. It could break my voice when I'm practising...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Rai-Elle, you look really happy about that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yeah, I really do like Sia because she's really original.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's one of my favourite songs
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and I feel like it will be a good opportunity to show
0:03:58 > 0:04:01everyone what I'm capable of doing.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06# And another one bites the dust
0:04:06 > 0:04:10# Why can I not conquer love? #
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I don't think it's a bad song, it's just I don't really like it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19# Cos I've got an elastic heart... #
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I think it's a really cool song.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It was actually the first time I've ever sort of properly
0:04:25 > 0:04:26listened to it.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30This time I really want to sing it cos it really suits my voice.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34# I've got an elastic heart. #
0:04:34 > 0:04:36APPLAUSE
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Yeah!- Thank you, guys.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I know this is a really, really tricky song but, obviously,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46you've got David here and he's going to help every single one of you find
0:04:46 > 0:04:48your own style, so I'll see three of you
0:04:48 > 0:04:50singing it at the end of the show.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Good luck, guys. Bye.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Thank you.- Bye.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56David Tench is one of the most experienced
0:04:56 > 0:04:58musicians in the business.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01How are you feeling about the song? Are you feeling good?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04But he might have his work cut out today.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07This song, Sia - Elastic Heart, it's challenging.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The three singers that have to perform this song,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11it could be difficult for them.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The kids are going to have to really up their game with this one
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and, before I leave, I want to find out what the mums make of it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So, guys, we've got another sing-off and a new song,
0:05:21 > 0:05:22how do you guys feel about it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I really would like her to be able to perform it if possible, yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Rai-Elle is competitive, so I do know that deep down
0:05:29 > 0:05:31it's something that she would want to win.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Obviously any opportunity for the Lily to perform is going to
0:05:34 > 0:05:37be great for her, so let's hope she gets through.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42I think, technically, Lily is the most experienced vocalist here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I think, as the competition goes on, it's going to get more intense.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49It's all fun and games, though, but I do want to win. Here we go.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51There's eight kids in here, they're all good
0:05:51 > 0:05:55but I don't think none of them's got nothing on Amaria.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56They ain't nothing on her.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Let's quickly talk about what the song is about.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's about sort of wanting to do something and then there being
0:06:02 > 0:06:04so many things in the way.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07No-one's going to push me down and I'm still going to keep battling.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So I think, as we perform this, we need to be strong.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It's definitely not a song for...for uncertainty.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Lily, if it's OK to start with you?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I'll give the first bit a go. - Good, OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22# And another one bites the dust
0:06:22 > 0:06:23# Oh, why can I not conquer love?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28# And I wanted it, I wanted... #
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I can't do it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31I thought you were going to make it!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The kids are going to face some problems and they're going to have
0:06:34 > 0:06:37to work on how they soar up to the high notes and back down again.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39# Fight this war with our weapons
0:06:39 > 0:06:41# And I wanted it, I wanted it... #
0:06:41 > 0:06:43HE STRUGGLES TO REACH HIGH NOTE
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I noticed with the Sia song that the boys were struggling
0:06:46 > 0:06:47a little bit more.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51# Cos I've got an elastic heart... #
0:06:51 > 0:06:53This is quite a difficult song to sing.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The sort of variations of going from really low to then up
0:06:57 > 0:06:59straight away to really high.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- # Your blade - ..it might be too sharp
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- # I'm like a - Rubber bad...Ugh... #
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You're straight in there, Paddy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think the boys, yeah, they could get lost in this but I think
0:07:08 > 0:07:11if they just concentrate on what the song is about and it'll all be good.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13OK, so, Rai-Elle, you ready to give it a shot?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- All right.- All right.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19# And another one bites the dust
0:07:20 > 0:07:24# Oh why can I not conquer love? #
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'm super impressed with Rai-Elle.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I think she was fantastic. She just flew straight into the song
0:07:29 > 0:07:31and it was totally in her voice.
0:07:31 > 0:07:38# You won't see me fall apart. #
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Rai-Elle, her voice fitted it a lot and she just was amazing, really.
0:07:44 > 0:07:51# Cos I've got an elastic heart. #
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I think there's competition.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55# An elastic heart. #
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Yeah. - APPLAUSE
0:07:59 > 0:08:02This is your jam, Rai-Elle! This is your tune.
0:08:04 > 0:08:0814-year-old Rai-Elle is an experienced singer from South London.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I think Rai-Elle's been singing for as long as a sound could
0:08:10 > 0:08:12come out of her mouth, to be honest.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16# Oh, yeah, you smile... #
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Singing is my life.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Like, without music, I think I would be really lost.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24# If you give me half a second... #
0:08:24 > 0:08:27She developed her powerful voice at a young age
0:08:27 > 0:08:29singing in a gospel choir.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I sing in church, so they teach how to sing from the diaphragm.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I'm not really a soft singer. I like to go for the big notes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And, at the audition, she performed one of the biggest songs there is.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44# We could have had it all
0:08:44 > 0:08:50# Rolling and the deep... #
0:08:50 > 0:08:53And this confident team doesn't shy away from competition.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Me and my mum are a strong team,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58so I think that the other contestants need to watch out.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Other guys, I think you're going to have to step up a little bit
0:09:03 > 0:09:05to sort of reach that level but, well done, Rai-Elle.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Thank you.- Fantastic.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11# I got, got, got what it takes now. #
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You may dream of being a music megastar
0:09:13 > 0:09:16but is a career on stage all it's cracked up to be?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What's going on, everyone? It's Conor Maynard.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Have you got what it takes?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I had been going for years before
0:09:21 > 0:09:23anyone recognised or noticed me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's got its ups and downs
0:09:24 > 0:09:25and that's really the important
0:09:25 > 0:09:26thing to try and manage,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I think, as an artist.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You know, it is very stressful.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32There's a lot of work you've got to put in it and you're kind of like...
0:09:32 > 0:09:33You're either kind of spearhead,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35the figurehead of the whole thing
0:09:35 > 0:09:36and you've got to kind of
0:09:36 > 0:09:37drive it all the time.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Each episode, two end-of-show sing-off spots can
0:09:43 > 0:09:48be won in a music industry challenge. And it's time for today's.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Hey, guys, winning over fans isn't just about having a great voice.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You need to be able to connect with your audience
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and these days that can be done from your own bedroom.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58I only started vlogging this year
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and I already have over 10,000 subscribers to my channel.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04So let's see how you guys get on.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Vlogging!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Judging today's challenge is someone who has made a career
0:10:10 > 0:10:12out of performing online.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Singing and vlogging sensation Dodie Clark.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18# Am I hiding or is this just me? #
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Dodie's channel has around a quarter of a million followers.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Oh, my God, no, I'm going to cry, I love this girl so much.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- What do I press? - Are we going to meet her?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Hi, everyone.- Hi. - Hello, how's it going?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Good, thanks.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, I'm a vlogger, that's my like full-time job where
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I play my ukulele and I like to sing songs that I've written.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So how did you get so many subscribers?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45There was one vlogger who I really liked and I wrote him
0:10:45 > 0:10:49a love song and put it up on my channel and he actually found
0:10:49 > 0:10:53it and he commented on it and then it sent like loads of his
0:10:53 > 0:10:57subscribers onto my video and then it just kind of grew from there.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00In today's challenge, the kids will be working in pairs
0:11:00 > 0:11:01and making their own vlogs.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05OK, are you ready to get this challenge started? Yeah? OK.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Let's go.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11The pair who create the most engaging vlog will both get to
0:11:11 > 0:11:14perform in the end-of-show sing-off.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Oh, yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Lola has been paired with Becky.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I'm thinking we should do something related to self-confidence.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Yeah, cool.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Paddy is with Lily.- So what do you think about the opening?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It needs to be good, it needs to be snappy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Matt's with Evan. - We say Scottish.- Mm-hmm.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And then you try it and I try it and we decide who did it better.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- So we need to think of two more. - And Amaria is with Rai-Elle.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42# A to the M to the A to the R to the I to the A
0:11:42 > 0:11:44# Pow! #
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- That's not Amaria.- Yes, it is.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49# A to the M to the A to the R to the...I to the A. #
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Yeah, Amaria, Amaria. - That's what I said last time.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- Action.- Yeah.- Because it needs to be fast, short, snappy. Boom!- OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02If you make great content and you pop it online, you can
0:12:02 > 0:12:04build an audience, like...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06thousands of people.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11The four pairs have decided on very different ideas for their vlogs.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Hi, I'm Lily.- And I'm Paddy.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16And this is my first ever client of make-up.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18First of all, you're going in with the foundation.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I like it a lot.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23This bench today is our main topic
0:12:23 > 0:12:25that we're going to be talking about.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27We always talk about things like this.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30We've done a few chairs in the past.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32# Loo-loo, loo-loo loo-loo... #
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Er, OK, I'm not sure about that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36- OK, so let's practise it.- OK.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- AUSTRALIAN ACCENT:- Didgeridoo, mate, I'm from Australia.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- AMERICAN ACCENT:- Have you got what it...? Oh, my God.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- Lip gloss.- I want your lips to look nice and big for the guys out there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50They were doing so well, like, I really want to see them
0:12:50 > 0:12:52start their own channels and post their own videos.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Bye.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00The pairs have now completed their vlogs
0:13:00 > 0:13:03but which one will make an impression with Dodie?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I think I'm going to be looking out for like the first ten seconds,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09whether it grabs my attention.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Whether they're really passionate and communicating with the viewer.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm Matt and this is Evan and we're going to do the accent challenge.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Right, you ready? First up, Scottish. Scottish. You go first.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- SCOTTISH ACCENT:- I'm from Scotland and I've got what it takes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- But you're from Scotland? - Yes, I know.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I love this bench and the bench loves me.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Anyway, so today our video is going to be about confidence.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Everybody's unique but everybody's different.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36We all have hearts, we all have minds
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and it's important to stay true to yourself, guys.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40So, yeah, that's our word of advice for today.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41That was lovely, aww.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I'm going to be doing her make-up for you today, so let's get started.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Have you ever done make-up like this before?- No, never.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Oh, my gosh.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- We are done.- Oh, my God.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Ay-o, my name's Rai-Elle. - And my name's Amaria.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- And welcome to our vlog. - Oh, my gosh.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'm sure about these dance moves.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08So you tell me what you do when you're bored cos we'd like to know.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK, bye.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That was really good.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Hello.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Having seen all four vlogs,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Dodie must now decide which is her favourite.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24The pair who created it will both get to
0:14:24 > 0:14:26perform on the end-of-show sing-off.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28They were all really good
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but I think I've got one in mind that I really like.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Let's start with you guys.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I thought your video was really good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I liked how you did it about something you're
0:14:39 > 0:14:42passionate about as you both like dancing and it made me laugh.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Your video with the bench, that was really good as well.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Interesting, like, segue from bench to self-confidence
0:14:49 > 0:14:52but I really liked the message.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You guys with your make-up, that was very funny.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Make-up is actually really popular, like,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00loads of people do videos of like guys trying to do make-up or
0:15:00 > 0:15:03girls trying to make up, so I thought that was really good.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05And then you with your accent challenge.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I laughed when you tried the Scottish accent
0:15:07 > 0:15:11and then you were like, "You're Scottish, it doesn't count."
0:15:11 > 0:15:16But there is one group that stuck out in particular.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Amaria and Rai-Elle.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24APPLAUSE
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Me and Amaria get to perform Elastic Heart by Sia.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I was really motivated to get this position, so I made sure
0:15:32 > 0:15:37that our idea was outstanding and that we did the best to be funny.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40So we didn't win but I think we can always try harder.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'm not too fussed about performing again, if I'm honest.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I think I just need a rest now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I definitely think they should make videos more often now, like...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52They were so good. Yeah, I'd watch their stuff.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56# I got, got got what it takes now. #
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It's the end of another long day
0:15:58 > 0:16:01but practice never stops in the music mansion.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Hello.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07The key to life in the mansion.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09# Standing in the hall of fame. #
0:16:09 > 0:16:13We are practising Elastic Heart at the moment.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We're definitely going through to the sing-off.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Only one person can win.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Me.- Me.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23# And another one bites the dust
0:16:23 > 0:16:26# Oh, why can I not conquer love? #
0:16:27 > 0:16:29My alarm's just gone off.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35No, my door's locked! No!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Don't go changing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Don't go changing, mate.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48It's a new day in the music mansion
0:16:48 > 0:16:52and the mums are about to face their next physical challenge.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Morning, mums, so there's one final performance place
0:16:55 > 0:16:57up for grabs in today's challenge.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Even the most well-known rock stars have done their time
0:16:59 > 0:17:02performing in the mucky fields of a music festival.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Well, mums, now it's your turn to show us if you would have
0:17:05 > 0:17:09the same determination in this week's challenge, Muddy Mayhem.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Muddy Mayhem...- Great(!)
0:17:14 > 0:17:17With Amaria and Rai-Elle's mum sitting this one out,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20the others are really feeling the pressure.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I don't like the sound of what it's going to be at all.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'm going to give it all I've got today
0:17:26 > 0:17:30because my little girl deserves to sing on that stage tonight.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Lily's come here to sing, she must sing,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35so I must win this for her.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43In today's challenge, the mums will be
0:17:43 > 0:17:47taking on one of the toughest assault courses in the country.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Oh, my God!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52To complete the course, they must complete
0:17:52 > 0:17:53a series of muddy obstacles...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Oh, my God. That's even worse.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00..before scaling a 20-foot cargo net to the finish line.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01SQUEALING
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And making sure the mums play by the rules is our games guru,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08choreographer and celebrity fitness trainer Kevin Adams.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'm scared to look at it, let alone go on it but these mums are really
0:18:11 > 0:18:13going to have to push, push, push
0:18:13 > 0:18:15to win that last spot in the sing-off.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Hi, mums, welcome to challenge two, Muddy Mayhem.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22So how are you feeling?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I think there's a bit of pressure here today because
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Fiona and myself and Lisa over there, our kids haven't sung yet,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- so we're really going to go for it. - Let's go.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37In this challenge, the six mums will be racing in pairs
0:18:37 > 0:18:40but it's the fastest time overall that wins.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42And even the weather is against them.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Let's move forward.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47First up, it's Paddy's mum Dianne and Lily's mum Lisa.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I'm just going to just go for it, run as fast as possible.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The one thing my mum's worried about
0:18:53 > 0:18:55is getting her running stuff dirty.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56She can wash it!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Yeah, she was just like,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01"I hope my running stuff's not going to get ruined."
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Oh, my...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Of course it is, it's an assault course.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08HORN TOOTS
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Oh, yes, they're off to a flying start.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15They're already in the mud, I can't believe it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17This time is going to be ridiculous.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- They're in. And they're coming out.- Oh, my.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Out she comes. Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35You've got to close the gap now. It's all about the time.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39SHE PANTS
0:19:45 > 0:19:47First one to the horn wins.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48It's amazing.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52HORN BLARES
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Done deal. Well done.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Lisa has won the first heat with a time of 1 minute and 26 seconds.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03How did that feel?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It was really hard getting out of the water, that was the worst bit.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But it was fun doing it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10And they're off.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Hoping to beat her time are Evan's mum Fiona
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and Becky's mum Linda.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18There's no point going slowly, let's get in. Up you get, Linda.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- But it's not long before both mums are struggling.- Be careful.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Whoo!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Go on.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34And with Linda stuck in the muddy pit...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Come on, Linda.- Go on.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- ..Fiona makes a break for the finish line.- Keep your legs moving.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Come on, Linda! - I AM coming. Don't shout!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Come on, Fiona, you're almost there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45HORN TOOTS
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Yeah, well done, Fiona.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Fiona, high five, mate, I like that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52You didn't think you were going to be a contender.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Do you think you've done Evan proud?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I did my best and I'm hoping that
0:20:55 > 0:20:58it's good enough to get Evan singing.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Fiona takes heat two with a time of 2 minutes and 16 seconds.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Which means that Lisa's time is still the one to beat.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10But there is one final heat between Matt's mum Katie
0:21:10 > 0:21:11and Lola's mum Imogen.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm ready, let's do this.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16How well do you want your mum to do, Lola?
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I don't really want to sing this song.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It doesn't really suit my voice. I'm kind of like...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Yeah, I don't like the song but I still want to...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I love the song, don't get me wrong, I love the song,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I just want to sing this. If my mum wins...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Are you ready, ladies?- Yes!- Yes!- Go!
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And they're off and they're straight into the mud.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35There's no holding them.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Imogen is off. Go on.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42And she's in.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Go, Imogen.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57We're closing the gap, keep the pace going. Go on, Imogen!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Close the gap. That's good, Imogen.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Katie's closing the gap.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's the sound of the horn that signifies the winner.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- HORN BLARES - Oh, yes!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Imogen has stormed to victory in the final heat
0:22:15 > 0:22:20but has she beaten Lisa's time and won the final sing-off spot for Lola?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Well done, ladies. Absolutely amazing stuff.- Thank you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26There was mud, there was sliding, there was climbing.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- The mothers did so well. - Well done, well done. Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33But only one of them can win that final spot.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35PHONE RINGS
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Hey.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Hey, guys, I'm going to tell you the result of the mums' challenge.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47The mum with the fastest time was...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- ..Imogen. - CHEERING
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Oh, my God.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's just karma, that is karma.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I said yesterday before she left my room,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I said, "Mum, please don't win."
0:23:04 > 0:23:06She went, "OK, I won't, Lola. I won't. I won't win."
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- No!- Why do you look so scared?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'm too scared to sing this song.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15# I got, got got what it takes now. #
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Yes, Lola.- Hi, David.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19So Lola is joining Amaria
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and Rai-Elle in the end-of-show sing-off
0:23:22 > 0:23:24performing Sia's Elastic Heart.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27But, first, they need to work on their arrangement with
0:23:27 > 0:23:29musical director David Tench.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, are you excited to be singing this song?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Yeah, I'm going to give it my all and smash it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Do you want to give it a run through and then see how we get on?- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39OK, great.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43# And another one bites the dust
0:23:43 > 0:23:46# Oh, why can I not conquer love?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49# And I might have thought that we were one... #
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I wanted to do me. I don't want to be the same as Sia.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I want to be like me and put my own twist on it.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59# Ahh... #
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Yeah, killer. Yes.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05That was fantastic.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07The lyrics you're not fully comfortable
0:24:07 > 0:24:10with coming off yet, right? You're going to need those with you.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13No, I just need to practise, practice, practice, practise,
0:24:13 > 0:24:14practice and I'll get it.
0:24:16 > 0:24:2012-year-old Amaria is a self-assured singer from north-east London.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I've got a unique style. From what I've considered,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25there's no other singer like me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28# Let me be your ruler. #
0:24:28 > 0:24:32She already has strong ideas about making it in the music industry.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I think it's about being who you are, not changing for anybody.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And being confident.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41My daughter Amaria is a triple threat, 100%, because
0:24:41 > 0:24:46she can sing, she can dance and she's a very good actress.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50At the auditions, Amaria impressed everyone with her unique voice.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53# I just want somebody, body
0:24:53 > 0:24:57# To treat me like somebody, body... #
0:24:57 > 0:25:01And she puts her assured performing down to one person.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I get my confidence from my mum.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06She's the talent and I'm the fun factor.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08SHE SNORTS
0:25:08 > 0:25:12When you go into the room, whatever happens, keep going.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Yeah, I'm just going to put my own spin on it and smash it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- How are you feeling today?- Great, I'm feeling very happy right now.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- You're very excited to be singing this song, aren't you?- Yes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- This is one of your absolute favourites, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I feel so comfortable when I sing this song
0:25:26 > 0:25:29but I think we've all tried to push up our game a bit
0:25:29 > 0:25:31because we know what the prize is now.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33We want to do our best.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34You're obviously very confident.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think, be careful not to be complacent,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38though, when you get in the performance room.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40When you get in a different environment
0:25:40 > 0:25:42it can throw you off your game a little bit.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Just remember to hold your own and you're going to be great.- Thank you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49How are you feeling about the song today?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51If I'm honest, I'm really nervous.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm up against, like, Amaria and Rai-Elle
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and they're like two of my biggest competition.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's just the big voices. I don't have a huge, powerful voice.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I don't sing these kind of songs and I'm just so nervous.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Relax!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You don't have to be big and powerful with these necessarily.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- You have to be strong.- All right, all right, all right.- OK?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I think their voices, their tone really suits the song.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15They have really powerful voices.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Doesn't suit me so much because I don't have as powerful a voice.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21# And I wanted it, I wanted it
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- HER VOICE CRACKS:- # Bad... # Oh, God.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- One more time. - Again, again, again. Sorry.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- That was terrible.- Chill, chill.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You could make that softer. Try it in soft head voice. Try it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- SOFTLY:- # And I wanted it I wanted it bad. #
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Killer.- Thank you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Well done, Lola.- Thank you so much.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44If she's not careful, she could get up there
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and let the nerves get the better of her.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51And then she could choke and it's the worst thing that could happen.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55David Tench has now done everything he can.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It's time for our second "Got What It Takes?" sing-off.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03I'm nervous because it's such a big song and for such young people to
0:27:03 > 0:27:07take on this song, it's going to be really, really interesting.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11And, after a shaky rehearsal, Lola is still struggling with her nerves.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12How are you getting on?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15If I'm honest, I don't know. I'm just super scared.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Cos this is such a big song, you have to really pull it off.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Firstly, nerves are great because if you didn't have them, it would
0:27:21 > 0:27:24show that you don't really care and obviously if you don't care,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27none of this is going to be able to happen for you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Each sing-off the mums are the judges
0:27:31 > 0:27:36and will vote to decide which of the three performers wins.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The person with the most wins after eight episodes will
0:27:39 > 0:27:41automatically qualify for the grand final.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46And Paddy is currently in the lead after winning the first.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Hi, mums. So another sing-off.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I think the first one was a massive eye-opener to all of us
0:27:55 > 0:28:00but we've got a new song now and it's a really, really big one.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But which one of them will get one step closer to that massive
0:28:02 > 0:28:05opportunity at the end - Radio 1's Big Weekend?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm excited to see all of them sing this song.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It's a challenging song but it's a good one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14I've got butterflies in my stomach. Oh, I don't even know.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16So first up is Rai-Elle.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18APPLAUSE
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Elastic Heart is one of Rai-Elle's favourite songs.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25But will she be able to do it justice in front of the mums?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31# And another one bites the dust
0:28:31 > 0:28:35# Oh, why can I not conquer love?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39# And I wanted it I wanted it bad
0:28:39 > 0:28:42# But there were too many red flags
0:28:42 > 0:28:49# You did not break me
0:28:49 > 0:28:53# I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
0:28:54 > 0:28:57# But your blade, it might be too sharp
0:28:57 > 0:29:04# You won't see me fall apart
0:29:04 > 0:29:12# Cos I've got an elastic heart
0:29:12 > 0:29:18# Yeah, I've got an elastic heart. #
0:29:20 > 0:29:21APPLAUSE
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Hey, Rai-Elle. - Hi.- That was absolutely amazing.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Thank you.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- How do you feel it went?- I think it went really well, yeah, I'm happy
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- with my performance.- You really should be, well done.- Thank you.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40APPLAUSE
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Oh, my days, it was so fun. I want to go on again.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I was super impressed, she put a lot into it
0:29:47 > 0:29:51and she really gave a big performance.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53So next up is Amaria.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55APPLAUSE
0:29:55 > 0:29:59In rehearsals, Amaria impressed David with her unique style.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02But will she have managed to learn the tricky lyrics?
0:30:03 > 0:30:07# And another one bites the dust
0:30:07 > 0:30:10# Oh, why can I not conquer love?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15# And I wanted it I wanted it bad
0:30:15 > 0:30:18# But there were so many red flags
0:30:18 > 0:30:24# You did not break me
0:30:24 > 0:30:29# I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
0:30:29 > 0:30:32# But your blade, it might be too sharp
0:30:32 > 0:30:34# I'm like a rubber band
0:30:34 > 0:30:37# Until you pull too hard
0:30:37 > 0:30:41# Yeah, it may snap... Mm-mm-mm
0:30:41 > 0:30:45SHE MUMBLES
0:30:47 > 0:30:54# I've got an elastic heart. #
0:30:54 > 0:30:57APPLAUSE
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Hi, Amaria.- Hi.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I thought that was a really, really great performance.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- How did you feel it went? - I think it went good.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I forgot the words a bit but I carried on.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Yeah, that's the main thing.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- You carried on. Well done. - Thank you.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14APPLAUSE
0:31:14 > 0:31:17That went really well. I forgot the words, though.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I absolutely loved Amaria's performance.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I think she did it so different and she did it in a way that
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I don't think anybody expected.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29So there was two amazing, really different performances
0:31:29 > 0:31:32and we've still got Lola to come. In you come, Lola.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33APPLAUSE
0:31:33 > 0:31:37In rehearsals, Lola's nerves were really affecting her performance
0:31:37 > 0:31:40but she needs to step up now if she wants to impress the mums.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46# And another one bites the dust
0:31:46 > 0:31:50# Oh, why can I not conquer love?
0:31:50 > 0:31:54# And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
0:31:54 > 0:31:57# But there were so many red flags
0:31:57 > 0:32:04# You did not break me
0:32:04 > 0:32:09# Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
0:32:09 > 0:32:12# But your blade, it might be too sharp
0:32:12 > 0:32:17# I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
0:32:17 > 0:32:20# Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
0:32:20 > 0:32:27# You won't see me fall apart
0:32:27 > 0:32:33# Cos I've got an elastic heart
0:32:35 > 0:32:42# I've got an elastic heart. #
0:32:43 > 0:32:46APPLAUSE
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Hi, Lola.- Hi.- I thought that was a really, really great performance.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54And you really put your own spin on it. How do you think it went?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Obviously, I was really nervous just because...being up against those
0:32:57 > 0:33:00two but I think I pulled it off all right, I think.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01- Well done.- Thank you.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04APPLAUSE
0:33:06 > 0:33:07I'm shaking so much.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11But, yeah, I think it went well. So, yeah, bye.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Lola was nervous today because she was up against Rai-Elle and Amaria.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17But, you know, I was really impressed.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20So, guys, time to get your scores down.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22The mums must now vote for the person
0:33:22 > 0:33:25they think performed best in the sing-off.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I think the bar was raised from the first sing-off dramatically.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32This sing-off is going to be really close.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38After three amazing performances, there can only be one winner.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39How do you feel?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43It's just so nice to see all of them up there and all different.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's good competition, I like that.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Their performances were so entertaining today.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49They have all got their own style.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53All three were just fantastic. I loved all of you, well done.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56This time, the winner is...
0:34:02 > 0:34:05..Rai-Elle. APPLAUSE
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Rai-Elle was note perfect the whole way through the song.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14She was just outstanding today.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Rai-Elle was the deserved winner.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18And if she makes it all the way to the end
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and sings at Radio 1 Big Weekend,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23she'd definitely be well received there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27My baby after her win! We're so proud of her.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Rai, how do you feel?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30# Ye-eaaah! #
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Next time...
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It's really tricky because you've got to get every move on point.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I'm so bad at dancing. Sweating myself to death.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Do you think I should get the mums to clap?
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Or what if they don't clap? That's going to be so awkward.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47# Ga... # Sorry, can I start again? Sorry,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50sorry, can I start again? I went wrong.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Let's go quiet and soft at the end.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58# I've got an elastic heart. #
0:34:59 > 0:35:06# Yeah, I've got an elastic heart. #
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Love it.
