0:00:44 > 0:00:46Competition is really hotting up.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48..when they find out what it's really like?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hi, guys, Lauren here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Working in the music industry requires you to have a
0:01:36 > 0:01:39lot of confidence in yourself as an artist - as our singers
0:01:39 > 0:01:40are about to find out.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm panicking about the lyrics now,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I've literally just forgot some of them.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Take one step, Katie.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I can't do it, I'm sorry.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- A lot of people are shocked when they hear me sing.- In a good way?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yeah, in a good way. In a good way.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Welcome back to the Music Mansion.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Morning, guys. - Morning.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So this is the last show before you perform for the public vote.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Rai-Elle, you are still in the lead, how do you feel about that?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I'm really happy I've got two wins, however, it's still anybody's game
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- so we'll just have to see what happens.- Paddy, are you hoping you
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- can tie with Rai-Elle today? - Erm, yeah, I am,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21but if I don't then I've still got
0:02:21 > 0:02:24a chance on the public vote so it's not like my life's over.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm just going try my hardest and see where it goes from there.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- So, guys, ready to find out what your next song is?- Yeah!- Let's go.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The pressure is on for our eight singers.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Only one will automatically get through to the final after
0:02:42 > 0:02:45today's sing-off. The others must face the public vote.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The opportunity at the end of this is so massive.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I mean, one of them will get to perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and I think it's really exciting that today one of them
0:02:55 > 0:02:57is going to take a massive step towards that.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Each episode, Musical Director David Tench teaches the group a new
0:03:01 > 0:03:05song, but only three will get to perform in our final
0:03:05 > 0:03:07end of show sing-off.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- It's a big song.- It's big, it's bigger than you think, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Yeah.- It goes from really to really high so that's going to be
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- the challenge.- I think this song is really, really going to suit Paddy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22But a lot of the girls, too, love this,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- the way it soars up to the high notes.- Yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It's time to reveal the song to the group.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34So, guys, the final song you will be competing to perform is...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Lay Me Down by Sam Smith.- Yes!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Erm... Well excited.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51# Can I lay by your side? #
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Four-time Grammy winner Sam Smith
0:03:54 > 0:03:58shot to the top of the UK charts with his single Lay Me Down.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00# You... #
0:04:00 > 0:04:04It gave him his fourth Number 1 single and spent two weeks in the top spot.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Paddy, you seem really excited about this song,
0:04:07 > 0:04:08What do you like most about it?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I like the song because it covers a lot of different ranges,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13it can go high, it can go low.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Does anyone not like this song?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It doesn't really have a beat to it, or it's not that there's a beat,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21it's just a slow piano song which isn't really my style.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27# Can I lay by your side? #
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I love everything about this song.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I think Sam Smith's range is amazing, it's out of this world,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36so it's a good opportunity to show your skills.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39When Lauren said this song I was really happy
0:04:39 > 0:04:41because it was a song we all knew.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44This is anyone's game now so I'd really like to sing this to
0:04:44 > 0:04:48win the sing-off and for me to go into the final.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53# Ooooh. #
0:04:53 > 0:04:54APPLAUSE
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So, guys, it's your final chance to
0:05:00 > 0:05:04compete for the sing-off, can't wait to hear three of you perform it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- See you later!- Bye!- See you, Lauren. Are you guys ready to start?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12'David Tench is one of the best in the business. He's worked with
0:05:12 > 0:05:15'stars including Leona Lewis and Lady Gaga.'
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Shall we give it a go?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And the group will really need his
0:05:18 > 0:05:20help today to keep them sounding at their best.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Evan, what are you thinking about this song?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Is this another one that is your favourite kind of thing to sing?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Not really but I'll try it. I'll try it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32# Yes, I do, I believe that one day
0:05:32 > 0:05:36# I will be where I was Right there
0:05:36 > 0:05:38# Right next to you... #
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I really, really, really, really, really want to sing
0:05:41 > 0:05:43this in the sing-off.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48# I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight. #
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I really do like the song, but I think the tempo
0:05:51 > 0:05:53is a bit slow for me.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00# Can I lay by your side? #
0:06:00 > 0:06:03This song really works well for all of them.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05OK, next up is Becky.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12# And make sure you're all right
0:06:12 > 0:06:16# I'll take care of you
0:06:16 > 0:06:26# I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight. #
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Well. Fantastic, well done, Becky!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38And the thing is if you're trying to make it in the industry it's
0:06:38 > 0:06:41about finding your unique voice, it's about finding that thing that
0:06:41 > 0:06:46sets you apart from other people and Becky, you just did that, well done!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Thank you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51When I think back to that first rehearsal, people were shy,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53nervous, didn't know what to do.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I think they've progressed so much and no matter who gets to this
0:06:56 > 0:06:59sing-off, I think there could be fireworks, it could be the best one!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01But while everyone's improving,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04weeks of singing is starting to take its toll.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I've lost my voice a little bit.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I'm not losing it, but it's getting a bit of a croak.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16# Next to you... #
0:07:16 > 0:07:20My voice isn't at its best at the moment cos yesterday I think
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I practised a bit too much and a bit too high
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and I think it might be a little bit damaged
0:07:25 > 0:07:30but hopefully I can be OK and I can try and push through it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:3512-year-old Paddy is a pop star wannabe from Lancashire.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40My dream is to make it as far as I can possible, singing.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44He wants to go all the way with it and I do think he can.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48# Take me into your loving arms. #
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Paddy won his first sing-off...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55..but since then, he's struggled with remembering the lyrics.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Argh, I've completely forgot them!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Take a deep breath, man, you're going to be absolutely fine!
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I think Patrick just needs to work
0:08:02 > 0:08:05on his confidence, really, believing in himself.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09He's hoping he can make it straight to the final and get closer
0:08:09 > 0:08:10to his dream of being a pop star.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Hopefully, if I ever am a singer
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I'll be selling lots of records and just performing on stage.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I've just worked so hard to try and be the best I can
0:08:18 > 0:08:22and I'm still trying to improve.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27# Next to you... #
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yeah, good job, good job!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I can see in your eyes that you're disappointed by that performance.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40But you know what's happening here - you've done a lot of singing,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43you've done a lot of challenges,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and of course now when you get tired it takes it's toll on your voice.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Your voice is so delicate, it's always the first to go when you're
0:08:50 > 0:08:54tired but you know what? In the industry I see that all the time.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You do gig after gig, your voice is getting tired,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59really the only answer is just sleep.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Sleep, eat healthy and look after yourself.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07It's incredibly hard to make a career in the music industry,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10but these stars have some top tips that might help you get here.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Hi, I'm MNEK, have you got what it takes?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Don't try and follow trends or what
0:09:14 > 0:09:17anybody else is doing that's like the hot thing at the moment.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Keep your family really close,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21keep your friends really close and don't get arrogant.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Find your name, find your vibe, find your groove.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Each episode, two end of show sing-off spots can be
0:09:31 > 0:09:34won in a music industry challenge, and it's time to find
0:09:34 > 0:09:37out what the group is facing next.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Lauren's left us a message.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43'In the music industry being a great singer is not always enough,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46'you also need to be able to win over the right people
0:09:46 > 0:09:49'and in today's challenge you'll have to do exactly
0:09:49 > 0:09:52'that by impressing a music executive whose job it is to sign
0:09:52 > 0:09:54'new talent. Good luck!'
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Top music executive Conrad Withey
0:09:58 > 0:10:00works with some of the biggest online pop stars.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04And today, our eight singers will be trying to convince him
0:10:04 > 0:10:05that they're in the same league.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09When it comes to actually trying to launch an artist, you really do need
0:10:09 > 0:10:12to know who you are, what you're about, and how you're different.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15But before the singers face Conrad, one of his artists,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Elyar Fox, has popped in to meet the group.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21# When I saw your face
0:10:21 > 0:10:24# I lost time and space
0:10:24 > 0:10:26# When I saw your smile
0:10:26 > 0:10:29# It made my heart go wild
0:10:29 > 0:10:31# Touching your lips on our first kiss... #
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Elyar has had over 22 million views online and, as a result,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39he was signed and has had a top 10 single.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43# Like deja vu. #
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So, hey, I'm Elyar, I started out online posting
0:10:48 > 0:10:53videos around 2012 and pretty much haven't stopped since.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56What age did you start singing?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I started singing when I was about 13,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I used to be in a band in high school.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04What's the hardest part about working in the music industry?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Staying positive.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09A lot of the time people are going to put you down but the longer you
0:11:09 > 0:11:12do it, the more confident you become in yourself and what you are doing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15The singers face a tough challenge today,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17so Elyar has some last minute advice for them.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So for today's challenge you are going to be
0:11:20 > 0:11:22interviewed by my manager, Conrad.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25He will be picking two of you from the interviews
0:11:25 > 0:11:27based on the following -
0:11:27 > 0:11:32your potential to make it in the industry, your stand-out talent
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and your ability to sell yourself as an artist.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I would recommend always be yourself if you're going into a meeting.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It can be nerve-wracking sometimes,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44but always try to forget about that and just do you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Good luck! Thanks, guys. - Thank you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52The singers will take it in turns to face an interview with Conrad.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The two who impress him the most will
0:11:54 > 0:11:56get to perform in the end of show sing-off.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I really want to win this industry challenge, I'm going to
0:11:59 > 0:12:03do my best, I'm going to fight the hardest to get into this sing-off.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I want to have the chance to perform and show off my voice.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I really do want to get into the sing-off, it would be good
0:12:09 > 0:12:14just to go out with a bang, really, and finish on a good note.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16What will Conrad make of our young singers?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's time to face the music.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Hi, I'm Evan. - Have a seat.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- I'm Matt.- Nice to meet you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Hi, I'm Rai-Elle.- Nice to meet you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'm just going to try and establish
0:12:26 > 0:12:28whether you think you've got the potential to be successful
0:12:28 > 0:12:29in the music business.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What type of artist do you want to be?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I want to be a very versatile artist,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I don't want to say R&B or one type of genre of music.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42I'm more of a rock chick, I like listening to rock music.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I've always written my own music and I would class
0:12:46 > 0:12:50myself as a musician and an artist rather than a singer.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Why do you think you've got what it takes?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I've got quite a unique style, it's sort of a mix up of rock
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and pop and even country a bit.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03When I sing, a lot of people are shocked when they hear me sing.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- In a good way?- In a good way. Yeah, in a good way.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10So what makes you different from the thousands of other
0:13:10 > 0:13:13people your age who want to make it in this business?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Some people think it's all about the money and I'm not about that,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'm like music over money, I just want to make an audience
0:13:19 > 0:13:22enjoy my music that I've made and I think that's more important.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've got my own style, I dress like how I want to dress
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and if you don't like it, it's not my problem, I don't dress for you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Nothing can get in my way of becoming a singer, that's the thing
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I want to do most in the world. All I want to do is be a singer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39All eight have managed to keep their cool under questioning,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42but now Conrad wants to hear the potential in their voices.
0:13:42 > 0:13:50# I have no doubt that I could love you... #
0:13:50 > 0:13:57# Darling, I will be loving you till we're 70. #
0:13:57 > 0:14:02# At last
0:14:02 > 0:14:07# My love has come along... #
0:14:07 > 0:14:15# Wish I could have known that I was loving you babe. #
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Thank you, brilliant. Sounded great. That's one of your songs?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Yeah.- Impressive, I loved the lyrics.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25They've almost made it through the interview, but how will
0:14:25 > 0:14:28they cope with Conrad's final question?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30If you were running a record label,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34who from the eight talented people here would you pick?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I would pick...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Erm, that's a very tricky question, erm...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Can I... How much... Do I have to pick one person or two?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49If I owned a record label I'd probably sign all of them.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- They're all amazing!- Easy then, isn't it? Great. Nice to meet you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Nice to meet you, too. - Take care and good luck.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57They've finally made it through their interviews.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01That was so, so, so exciting!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I really want to do that challenge again, I had a really good time
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and now I'm out I'm sort of thinking of little bits I should have said.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I don't know if I do or if I don't have a good chance,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I just said what I thought and hopefully I can win.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Time for Conrad to deliver the news to the group.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Who has impressed the most?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So, guys, how did you find it?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I found it quite difficult just to
0:15:25 > 0:15:28kind of make my answers unique, but I think I did well.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The criteria was to sell yourself,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and you had to make yourself stand out from everyone else
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and I think that was the trickiest thing we had to do.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I had to pick two of you and it was really tough.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42All of you have a potential to do great things, but based on today's
0:15:42 > 0:15:48interview and the criteria that we were using to judge...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I pick Lola.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And Paddy.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I chose those two mainly because I felt that they were
0:16:01 > 0:16:05closest to the complete package. I thought her song-writing
0:16:05 > 0:16:09stood out and I thought Paddy just had a lot of raw talent.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Paddy won, look, right there!
0:16:11 > 0:16:12HE LAUGHS
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I won the challenge, I'm really, really excited
0:16:15 > 0:16:17because I really wanted to get this challenge.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I learned that you have to stay confident, you also need to believe
0:16:20 > 0:16:23in yourself because there's always going to be people to put you down.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You have to always be yourself, no matter what.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30All of the challenges have just made me think that it's really not
0:16:30 > 0:16:34all about the voice and it is about everything else put together.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's the end of another long day
0:16:38 > 0:16:40but the singing does not stop in the Music Mansion.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44# I've got, got Got what it takes now
0:16:44 > 0:16:46# Nothing in this whole wide world...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- # Got, got! - THEY LAUGH
0:16:49 > 0:16:52# You haven't even seen The best of me
0:16:52 > 0:16:55# I've got, got, Got what it takes now
0:16:55 > 0:16:57# Oh, oh
0:16:57 > 0:16:59# Got, got
0:16:59 > 0:17:01# One, two, three Oh, oh. #
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's a new day in the Music Mansion
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and the mums are about to find out what their eighth
0:17:13 > 0:17:15and final challenge will be.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18So, one final performance place is up for grabs in today's challenge.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21A good roadie will do anything to support their act
0:17:21 > 0:17:24but how far would you go for your little stars?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Or should I say, how high?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Surely, they are not going to give us more heights.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29they've given us them already.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33In their final challenge - Mum's The Roadie - the mums will need
0:17:33 > 0:17:36a good head for heights if they stand any chance of winning.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The thing is swinging around, there's nobody even on them!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42They must transport a guitar around an assault course
0:17:42 > 0:17:4412 metres in the air.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46No, I'm not doing it, absolutely no way.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Not at that height and I'm terrified of heights.- Come on.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50No, it's ridiculous.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53They'll need to be brave and fast
0:17:53 > 0:17:55as the mum who finishes in the quickest time
0:17:55 > 0:17:58wins that final sing-off spot.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Providing the mums with some much-needed encouragement
0:18:00 > 0:18:02is Games Guru Kevin Adams,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04choreographer and trainer to the stars.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I think today's challenge is going to show
0:18:06 > 0:18:08what the mums are really made of.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I look up there and I think, kind of scary.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11In fact, it is a lot scary.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17While Lola and Paddy's mums sit this challenge out,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19the stakes are high for the others.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Lily, Matt and Amaria could all draw level with Rai-Elle
0:18:22 > 0:18:25if their mums can win that final sing-off spot.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Coming from a man that is scared of heights,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I want to know how you are feeling right now.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm going to give it a go but I don't think
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I will get on to the first - whatever it is - stick thing.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39But I like the fact you are going to give it a go.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Katie, you are another person that is scared of heights
0:18:41 > 0:18:44along with myself. How are you feeling right now?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46If you are scared of heights, you are more concerned with that
0:18:46 > 0:18:49than actually doing the challenge so, yeah, I'm going
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to give it my best shot but I am obviously at a slight disadvantage.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56That last spot is up for grabs in the sing-off.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58The question is - is it going to be yours?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01It's time to play Mum's The Roadie. Let's go.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07First up is Lily's mum, Lisa.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Lisa, how are you feeling?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I don't think I can do it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Take a breath, don't look down.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm going to give you three, two, one and start in your own time.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Three,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21two,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22one.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Let's go, Lisa.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Yes, Lisa, yes, well done.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Now, go. Go, Lisa, go.- Go, go, go.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33One arm, then the other arm.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Brilliant stuff there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well done, that's good.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Go, Lisa, as soon as you touch your foot on the platform,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47we stop the clock. Well done.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48THEY CHEER
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Well done. Well done. Stop, you're going to choke yourself.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK, well done.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Lisa.- I don't believe I've done that.- Tell me how you feel.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I wasn't going to do it. - What made you step out, though?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Lily.- Lily?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Lisa sets the time to beat,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07completing the course in four minutes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Next up, can Bernice give Rai-Elle the chance for a third win
0:20:12 > 0:20:14to send her straight to the final?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16OK, on my count.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Three,
0:20:17 > 0:20:18two,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19one,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21let's go!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Come on, girl.- Oh, wow.- Go on.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26This is great technique, there, Bernice.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Don't think, just do.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You are whizzing along this, well done.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Let's just get this first foot in.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38This is great. Oh, brilliant.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41We are looking at a quick time here, Bernice, you are doing so well.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Get your foot on the platform. Well done.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Brilliant.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Do you think you have done enough to win the last place
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- in the sing-off for Rai-Elle? - I hope so.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Bernice leaps into the lead,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58finishing the course in three minutes, eight seconds.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Next up is Becky's mum Linda,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03who gets round in five minutes, three seconds.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04How are you feeling?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I can't believe I did it!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Then it is Evan's mum, Fiona...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I don't know if I can do this one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13..who manages a time of 6 minutes, 49 seconds.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15THEY CHEER
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I am very shaky, very shaky.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20And Amaria mum's Jasmine falls at the final hurdle
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and doesn't manage to finish the course.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I can't do it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Yeah. - THEY CHEER AND CLAP
0:21:28 > 0:21:29I didn't like that.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35With Matt's mum, Katie, the last to go,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Rai-Elle's mum Bernice is still in the lead
0:21:38 > 0:21:41with a time of three minutes, eight seconds.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But how will Katie cope with her fear of heights?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48OK, Katie, starting in three,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49two,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50one,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Mum's The Roadie.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56In your own time, breathe and just step forward.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I can't do it, I can't do it, I'm sorry.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Take one step, Katie.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Think of the first plank, don't look down, the first plank.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Well done, that's right, yes.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:22:10 > 0:22:14That's it, lovely, yes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16There you go, Katie.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You are getting a bit speedy there, I like that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Oh, well done, well done.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Go, go, go.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27THEY CHEER
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Go on, Katie.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30THEY CHEER
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Yes!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yes!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- How do you feel?- Good.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38You conquered your fear.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Katie finishes the course but was it quick enough to win?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There can only be one winner.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49And that winner is...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Bernice. - THEY CHEER
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Katie completed the course in
0:23:01 > 0:23:034 minutes, 27 seconds,
0:23:03 > 0:23:04meaning Rai-Elle's mum Bernice was
0:23:04 > 0:23:06the fastest roadie
0:23:06 > 0:23:07on the course today.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10And that means Rai-Elle has the last spot in the sing-off
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and a chance to clinch that place in the final.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Ask them, I won!- Did she win?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Are you for real?- Yeah. - You won?- I won!
0:23:17 > 0:23:18RAI-ELLE SCREAMS IN DELIGHT
0:23:18 > 0:23:19BERNICE LAUGHS
0:23:22 > 0:23:2614-year-old Rai-Elle is a soulful singer from South London.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28My mum is really supportive.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I call her my mum-ager because she is like my mum
0:23:30 > 0:23:32and my manager at the same time.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34She has got a talent, she has been blessed with a gift.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# You won't see me fall... #
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Rai-Elle has been in two sing-offs...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42# Ooh Sweet love. #
0:23:42 > 0:23:44..and won both of them.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45The winner is
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Rai-Elle.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49..Rai-Elle.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The stage is her second home, she always says,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53so when she gets on the stage, she is in her comfort zone.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Now, she is hoping she can make it all the way to the final.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02My musical ambition is to share my talent with everyone
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and really being on stage at all times.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Lola, Paddy and Rai-Elle will each perform their own versions
0:24:10 > 0:24:14of Sam Smith's Lay Me Down for the mums in the final sing-off.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Hi, Lola.- Hello.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- How are you doing, Paddy? Good to see you.- Good to see you, too.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- How are you doing, Rai-Elle? - I am good, thank you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25But first, musical director David Tench has one last session
0:24:25 > 0:24:28to help them perfect their performances.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I am not looking really to belt this one,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I am looking to try and put more feeling into it.- OK, all right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37And I've also changed up... # Next to you. #
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Oh, have you?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41# Next to you
0:24:41 > 0:24:43# Next to you. #
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- That sounds great. - Shall I try that?- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49# I don't want to be here... #
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Today was new Paddy. He was like a completely new person.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55He came into the rehearsal and he said I want to change it up,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I want to try this, so we started experimenting.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Fantastic. Really good.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yeah, I was playing with it a little bit, but I think...
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Paddy, but that's new for me,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06hearing you play with the tune like that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Has this competition changed you?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yeah, I think I needed to step my game up so, yeah, I just thought and
0:25:11 > 0:25:14thought and thought, cos it weren't working how I was singing it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You've grown so much, Paddy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Thanks.- It sounded fantastic.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Have you had any more thoughts since our piano rehearsal?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Yeah, I'm against two very strong singers,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and that's not my forte,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28so I think what I'm focusing on is
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- trying to make the emotion raw. - Yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31That's what I want to give across.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34# I'll take care of you-u-u... #
0:25:34 > 0:25:36One of Lola's strengths is her ability to...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39# I don't want to be here if I... #
0:25:39 > 0:25:42..take any song and really, kind of, add her own style to it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's sort of that creative artist in her.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46# Tonight. #
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yeah, and then I can play with you at the end, as well.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- You think that was...? - That'll be a cool moment,
0:25:51 > 0:25:52if I suddenly came in.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Cos they wouldn't expect it, would they?- No, exactly.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'I think she gives a fantastic, mature performance.'
0:25:57 > 0:26:00She's always trying to find a new way to impress
0:26:00 > 0:26:02the mums, the judges.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05# Toni-i-ght. #
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Fantastic. Well done.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I just want to try one key up,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13just to see if you can still take
0:26:13 > 0:26:16it on those high notes, because the verse then will come out a bit more.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18# Told me not to cry... #
0:26:18 > 0:26:20'David put me on a higher key,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22'higher than Sam Smith's,'
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and he was pleased with it,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and so was I, and I was really proud of myself.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28One thing I would say is,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32try and slow that verse down just a little touch. Imagine you're just
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- singing to that one person who's right next to you.- OK.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37# Yes, I do, I believe... #
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Rai-Elle is so confident. She just spends this bit of time
0:26:40 > 0:26:41beforehand thinking it through,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and then she just delivers.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46# ..Oo-o-o. #
0:26:46 > 0:26:48HE IMITATES APPLAUSE
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Whoo.- Yeah!- I was like, "I'm not going to hit this note."
0:26:53 > 0:26:54But you did.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Wow, well done, Rai-Elle, that's mega.- Thank you.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59# I've got, got Got what it takes now. #
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm back for the final sing-off, and obviously only one kid
0:27:06 > 0:27:08can win that automatic qualification in the final.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I think it's going to be an amazing sing-off
0:27:10 > 0:27:14so I'm really excited to see how they all do it individually.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17This is the final sing-off in the Music Mansion.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20For the last time, the mums will decide who is their winner.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23The person with the most
0:27:23 > 0:27:25sing-off wins in total will take
0:27:25 > 0:27:27the automatic place in the final.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Currently, Rai-Elle is in the lead
0:27:30 > 0:27:32with two wins, but if Paddy or Lola
0:27:32 > 0:27:34win the final sing-off,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35they can draw level.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37In the event of a tie,
0:27:37 > 0:27:38the singer who has been in the most
0:27:38 > 0:27:40sing-offs wins, and gets
0:27:40 > 0:27:41straight through to the final.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46I'm kind of in the middle between taking it up a semitone
0:27:46 > 0:27:48or keeping it in the key that I was in before.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I don't know really what I'm going to do.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Hi, guys, I'm panicking about the lyrics now -
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I've literally just forgot some of them.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56HE GROANS
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I'm really nervous and I feel sick.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00This is horrible.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I just really need to get up there and do it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Hey, mums, and welcome to the eighth and final sing-off
0:28:09 > 0:28:10before the public vote.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm sure I don't need to remind you, mums,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15but there's only one automatic qualification spot in the final,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and any one of the singers in the sing-off can take it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Imogen, how do you feel about Lola being in the final sing-off?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'm really looking forward to seeing Lola perform tonight.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm really nervous, for her and for me.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Bernice, you worked really hard to get Rai-Elle
0:28:30 > 0:28:32in the sing-off today - how are you feeling?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I'm really excited for her. I just want her to go up there,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36do her best and enjoy herself, as well.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38They've all done so well.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41First up is Lola.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00She took a ballad and she played it on the guitar,
0:30:00 > 0:30:01and then she had the piano come in,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04which was such a surprise. I thought it was amazing.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05So next up, we've got Paddy.

0:31:26 > 0:31:31He just kept going. He came across like a true professional.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33So last up is Rai-Elle.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Rai-Elle's hoping she can do enough
0:31:36 > 0:31:38to make it three out of three wins today.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Thank you very much.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57'She was note-perfect. Her big notes...'
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I've never, ever heard notes like that
0:32:59 > 0:33:01come out of a 14-year-old before.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Three amazing performances, it's time to vote.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I thought the final sing-off was actually one of the best
0:33:09 > 0:33:11sing-offs we've had so far.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13All three singers in the sing-off today are different,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16they've got a different approach, and they're developing
0:33:16 > 0:33:18as artists, and that's great -
0:33:18 > 0:33:20that's what we're here to help them do.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27This is the closest one we've had so far -
0:33:27 > 0:33:29the decision was split by just one vote.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33And the winner is...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39..Rai-Elle.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41APPLAUSE
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Rai-Elle smashed it today - she just knocked it out the park.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47It was actually her best sing-off.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49She really deserved to win.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I am so happy. I-I'm speechless.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57I didn't expect it, but I tried my best so I'm happy that I won.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I couldn't be more proud of Rai-Elle - she knows that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So with three sing-off wins, Rai-Elle tops the leaderboard
0:34:03 > 0:34:06and goes straight through to the grand final.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09The remaining singers must face the public vote
0:34:09 > 0:34:10to see which three will join her.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's so hard when it comes to public voting.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14You don't know who they're going to like,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16and who they're not going to like.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Rai-Elle's definitely in the final,
0:34:18 > 0:34:19but what about the others?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I'm VERY excited to see what happens.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Next time...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28THEY SING VARIOUS NOTES
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Really, really important
0:34:31 > 0:34:33that they connect with the public.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37THEY SING VARIOUS NOTES
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I have no idea who's going to be in the final.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41It's anybody's guess.
0:34:41 > 0:34:48# Can I lay by your side?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53# Next to you-u-u?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57# You-u-u-u...? #
