0:00:02 > 0:00:03She went head-to-head

0:00:03 > 0:00:06with some of the UK's most talented young singers...

0:00:06 > 0:00:08and came out on top...

0:00:08 > 0:00:09It's Jorja.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14..winning the chance to perform on the Main Stage

0:00:14 > 0:00:16at Radio 1's Big Weekend...

0:00:16 > 0:00:18I think she's a little bit nervous

0:00:18 > 0:00:20but I don't think she's as nervous as I am.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22SPEAKERS BOOM

0:00:22 > 0:00:23It's like an earthquake!

0:00:23 > 0:00:27..alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry...

0:00:27 > 0:00:30You've just got to get up there and be super confident.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32I'm sure it's going to be great.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34..but after weeks of preparation...

0:00:34 > 0:00:36That sideways stepping is so awful,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38cos it's just like "Ooh, I've forgotten where to go."

0:00:38 > 0:00:40You're, like, creeping backwards.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42I don't want to make you do something you don't want to do.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43- Oh, that top...- No!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45- No!- ..is really nice.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46OK, but I'm wearing it.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47You're not wearing it.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Has Jorja got what it takes...

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, Hull!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56..to be one of the youngest people ever...

0:00:56 > 0:00:58She's 15 years old.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00..to rock the Main Stage?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Please make some noise for Jorja!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06The biggest thing I'm worried about with Jorja

0:01:06 > 0:01:08is she's going to get up here and just freeze.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11# So, come on, tell me

0:01:11 > 0:01:12# What's it gonna be?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15# I got, got, got what it takes, now

0:01:15 > 0:01:16# They're gonna hear me

0:01:16 > 0:01:18# Gonna make them see

0:01:18 > 0:01:20# I got, got, got what it takes, now

0:01:20 > 0:01:23# Oh, oh, oh, oh

0:01:23 > 0:01:26# I got, got, got what it takes, now

0:01:26 > 0:01:29# Oh, oh, oh, oh

0:01:29 > 0:01:31# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Radio 1's Big Weekend, Hull.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45So, Jorja, Steph, we're finally here in Hull at Radio 1's Big Weekend.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You're going to be performing on that Main Stage.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm really nervous because this is my first festival

0:01:50 > 0:01:52and I'm singing on the Main Stage,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55so that also puts a little bit of pressure on me, as well.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58How have things changed for you since you won the final?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Well, a lot of people, when I'm out shopping,

0:02:00 > 0:02:03take pictures with me - and they always come up to me

0:02:03 > 0:02:05and ask if I was on Got What It Takes.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Steph, you fought so hard to get Jorja in this position today.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10How big of an opportunity is that?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Well, I tried my very best in all the challenges,

0:02:12 > 0:02:16and this is a challenge for Jorja and I think she'll do her very best.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18She's going to smash it.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20This is such a crazy thing for Jorja

0:02:20 > 0:02:23because it's one of the biggest festivals in the country

0:02:23 > 0:02:24and Jorja's performing at it.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29When 15-year-old Jorja arrived in the Music Mansion,

0:02:29 > 0:02:33she made a big impression with her huge vocal range...

0:02:33 > 0:02:38# I'm so sick of love songs... #

0:02:38 > 0:02:40..but she wasn't the only talented teen

0:02:40 > 0:02:42hoping to walk away with the prize...

0:02:43 > 0:02:46I think my biggest competition in the music mansion was Evan.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48# Take that money Watch it burn

0:02:48 > 0:02:50# Sink in the river The lessons I've learned... #

0:02:50 > 0:02:54He had such a big personality, which is really opposite to me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58..but luckily Jorja had some serious backup,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00in the form of her Olympian mum.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03My mum was really competitive in the Music Mansion.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05The Olympic mind-set is there,

0:03:05 > 0:03:08I'm hoping the Olympic body of old will help me through.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11My funniest moment was when she jumped into the pit

0:03:11 > 0:03:15and then she lifted the carrot up, and she just looked so funny!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Jorja took to the stage in five incredible Sing-Offs

0:03:18 > 0:03:20in the Music Mansion...

0:03:20 > 0:03:25# ..will always lead you home... #

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Performing in front of the mums during the Sing-Offs

0:03:27 > 0:03:28was really nerve-racking,

0:03:28 > 0:03:31because they were each looking for different things

0:03:31 > 0:03:33and you wanted to try and please them all.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I think you're a fabulous singer, Jorja. I loved it.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37..but it was in the series semifinals

0:03:37 > 0:03:40when she showed off what she was really capable of.

0:03:40 > 0:03:46# Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor...? #

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Singing in the recording studio was such a great experience

0:03:48 > 0:03:50because it gave me an insight to what it would be like

0:03:50 > 0:03:52to be a pop star.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Congratulations, Jorja, you're through!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59I was so emotional when I found out I was in the final

0:03:59 > 0:04:02because I would have been devastated if I had been told otherwise.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm so happy.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05# I don't know what to do... #

0:04:05 > 0:04:08In the grand final, Jorja performed twice,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12in front of a studio audience and a panel of industry experts...

0:04:12 > 0:04:15That could very well be the performance

0:04:15 > 0:04:17that wins you this whole competition.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19..before the winner was finally announced.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's Jorja.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25When Lauren called out by name,

0:04:25 > 0:04:26it was the best feeling ever

0:04:26 > 0:04:29because I felt like I'd achieved such a great accomplishment.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36In Hull, Jorja will be performing on the huge Main Stage.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39How amazing is this?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40It's incredible.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43The gates are yet to open to the public,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46but it's already a scary experience.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49You're going to be performing in front of thousands of people

0:04:49 > 0:04:51right on this stage.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Are you excited?- That's so weird.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Like, I never, ever thought that that would be something I'd ever do.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Because it's broad daylight,

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm going to see the whites of everybody's eyes

0:05:00 > 0:05:02and that might make me a bit more nervous -

0:05:02 > 0:05:04but hopefully it won't put me off.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think you've just got to stay as calm as you can.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Nerves are good - it shows that you really care about your performance,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12and don't worry about all the people that are in the audience.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I know that's really easy to say

0:05:14 > 0:05:16but get yourself in your own little zone.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18This is your stage, you'll be the only one up here,

0:05:18 > 0:05:20and just do what you do best, which is singing.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, Jorja's just about to go on stage for her sound check.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think she's a little bit nervous...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29SPEAKERS BOOM

0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's like an earthquake!

0:05:31 > 0:05:32..but she won Got What It Takes

0:05:32 > 0:05:35so hopefully she has got what it takes to get up here and perform.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let me know when you want the music.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Just put your hand in the air or something.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41I think it'll be really scary

0:05:41 > 0:05:44and I hope the adrenaline kicks in before I go on stage.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48# When you hold me in the street

0:05:48 > 0:05:52# And you kiss me on the dance floor... #

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Standing on the stage myself, I feel so tiny,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59so the biggest thing I'm worried about with Jorja

0:05:59 > 0:06:01is she's just going to get up here and just freeze.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04But the sound check seems to have put Jorja at ease.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08It went really well and I felt really comfortable on the stage

0:06:08 > 0:06:10and all my nerves disappeared.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Steph.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15So what, are you actually going to take that off the stand

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- when you're doing Secret Love Song? - No, I'm keeping it on the stand.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm trying to stay chilled for Jorja's sake.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25If I start getting all nervous and panicky,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28then that will just pass on to her and I don't want that.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Does it need to be in there for you to do all your high notes?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Or will you take it...?- Preferably.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm just going to keep it in.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

0:06:39 > 0:06:42As part of her preparation for the Big Weekend,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Jorja has been fine-tuning her performances

0:06:44 > 0:06:48with our music maestro David Tench.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50This is such a big opportunity for Jorja.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm so proud of her.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Hello, Jorja.- Hello.- How are you?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Good, thank you. - Are you feeling excited?

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Yeah, but still a bit nervous,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01cos I haven't really sung in front of an audience that big,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03so I don't really know what to expect.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05What scares you about it?

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Singing in front of 20,000 people and making a mistake.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Jorja's sharing the stage with some amazing artists at the weekend.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15She just needs to believe in herself a bit more.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20# Baby, I wrote a song about you last night... #

0:07:20 > 0:07:22When Jorja sang the MNEK song,

0:07:22 > 0:07:26she sounded fantastic on it - but it was just too low for too long.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You know you do the first verse, you do the pre,

0:07:29 > 0:07:31can't you come up for that first chorus?

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Um...

0:07:32 > 0:07:34So, what I tried to do was get her to sing up a little bit more,

0:07:34 > 0:07:38so get that first chorus up an octave and really sing out.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I can't... I can't already go into that, the high bit,

0:07:41 > 0:07:45because then when I come back down it's going to sound really croaky.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Listen, I don't want to make you do something you don't want to do,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49you can leave it how it is,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52but everyone's going to be thinking this song is too low for you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55They're not going to know what you've got coming at the end.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's really risky, changing the song,

0:07:57 > 0:07:59because it's really last-minute.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'm scared that I'm going to completely lose where I am

0:08:01 > 0:08:04and there's not going to be anybody there to pick me back up again.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06What do you think about this risk?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think she should try here -

0:08:09 > 0:08:12try, and if it feels good, she should do it.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Jorja can sometimes be really nervous and shy

0:08:15 > 0:08:18about trying new things

0:08:18 > 0:08:20but that's what it is to be an artist.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22So let's go from that same place at the verse...

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- OK.- ..but this time, you're going to have to give it more force.- Welly.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Yeah, exactly.- OK, here we go.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31# It had the strangest melody

0:08:31 > 0:08:35# I wrote a song about you last night... #

0:08:36 > 0:08:37That's going to be great!

0:08:37 > 0:08:41You've come on so far since we first started working together.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Please just feel confident

0:08:42 > 0:08:46and know that you've got as good a voice, if not better,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49than all of the artists that are performing at Big Weekend.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50Thank you.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Well, that was a brilliant session with Jorja.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56She's got a few things to work on, some changes,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58but if she can get that right, be confident,

0:08:58 > 0:08:59she's going to be amazing.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Back in Hull, let's check out a huge act

0:09:03 > 0:09:05also performing on the Main Stage over the weekend.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Brimming with that elusive confidence,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10it's superstar girl group Little Mix.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12# Shout out to my ex

0:09:12 > 0:09:14# You're really quite the man

0:09:14 > 0:09:16# You made my heart break

0:09:16 > 0:09:18# And that made me who I am

0:09:18 > 0:09:19# Here's to my ex,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21# Hey, look at me now

0:09:21 > 0:09:22# Well, I, I'm all the way up

0:09:22 > 0:09:25# I swear you'll never bring me down

0:09:25 > 0:09:27# Shout out to my ex

0:09:27 > 0:09:29# You're really quite the man

0:09:29 > 0:09:30# You made my heart break

0:09:30 > 0:09:32# And that made me who I am

0:09:32 > 0:09:34# Here's to my ex,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36# Hey, look at me now

0:09:36 > 0:09:38# Well, I, I'm all the way up

0:09:38 > 0:09:41# I swear you'll never, you'll never bring me down. #

0:09:41 > 0:09:44The Little Mix ladies definitely know how to work the stage...

0:09:47 > 0:09:50..but that's not something that comes naturally to Jorja.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53So, this is obviously a really, really big performance for you.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Do you reckon you're going to get up there and dance?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57No, not dance.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I'm doing a lot of movement, though, to what I would normally do.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I can be worried that I'm going to say the wrong thing

0:10:02 > 0:10:05or do the wrong thing, so I like to play it safe.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07You've been working with Kevin on your stage performance.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09How has that been going?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I think that's been going really well,

0:10:11 > 0:10:12and he's helped me out so much -

0:10:12 > 0:10:13and now I feel really confident

0:10:13 > 0:10:16that I'm going to give a really good performance.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

0:10:20 > 0:10:22To help Jorja get ready for the Main Stage,

0:10:22 > 0:10:25she's been training with our games guru Kevin Adams,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27who's also a legendary choreographer.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Jorja has an amazing voice, but before the Big Weekend,

0:10:31 > 0:10:33we need to bring out her performance.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35We need to raise her up and make her realise

0:10:35 > 0:10:37that she's not in her bedroom any more,

0:10:37 > 0:10:40she's actually performing in front of tens of thousands of people.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Kevin's going to be helping me with my stage presence

0:10:43 > 0:10:46and my movement on the stage and also talking...

0:10:46 > 0:10:48YEAH!

0:10:51 > 0:10:52First up is a crash course

0:10:52 > 0:10:54in working the stage.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56Remember to start relaxed.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Start still then build to performance.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Gears. First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear.

0:11:02 > 0:11:03You want to end in fifth gear.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Do you understand? You don't drive, do you?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07No.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Ready?- Yeah.- Three, two, one.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11# Time has passed for someone new... #

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Strong stop. Stop. Boom.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- # Look at what you put me through... #- Yes.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19# I'd rather be alone than lonely

0:11:19 > 0:11:21# Wonder if you're thinking of me... #

0:11:21 > 0:11:23That's right, going to start now. Count you in.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Four, three, two, walk out.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Yes! Yes!

0:11:29 > 0:11:30When you're onstage as an artist,

0:11:30 > 0:11:33if you stand in one position and the song is not a ballad,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35it becomes too static.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36You're not inviting me in.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Stop! Go!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40# Found in the memories... #

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Go.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Kevin said go.- Oh, sorry, yeah.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I definitely have to do some movement

0:11:45 > 0:11:47because if I just stand there and sing,

0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'd just looked a bit weird and people will be a bit bored.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Three, two, one.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54# Every time I look around I sit and wonder

0:11:54 > 0:11:58# Where did you disappear? #

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Wait one... Wait one minute. Stop singing. What's this?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Sorry. - It's like Saturday Night Fever!

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I don't want to fall over!

0:12:05 > 0:12:06That sideways stepping is so awful,

0:12:06 > 0:12:09cos it's just like "Ooh, I've forgotten where to go."

0:12:09 > 0:12:10You're, like, creeping backwards.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11You have to turn.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Turn and walk back, or definite stride back.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16I've never seen her move so much,

0:12:16 > 0:12:19especially when she's singing, as well.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Walk back, strong.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- # Every time I look around... # - Yes!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24# I sit and wonder

0:12:24 > 0:12:28# Where did you disappear? #

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Next, Kevin wants Jorja to practise

0:12:30 > 0:12:31performing under pressure

0:12:31 > 0:12:33with some distraction training.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- # Telling myself I'm over you... # - YELLS:- WOOHOO!

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- YEAH!- # I'd rather be alone than lonely... #

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- LOVE YOU!- # Wonder if you're thinking of me... #

0:12:41 > 0:12:44There are lots of things that are going on when you're onstage.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46There's people holding up signs, there are people screaming...

0:12:46 > 0:12:51- HE YELLS - # It had the strangest melody... #

0:12:51 > 0:12:54..and the important thing is not to let it distract you.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- YEAH! - HE SCREAMS

0:12:57 > 0:12:59YEAH!

0:12:59 > 0:13:03HE YELLS AND SOBS

0:13:03 > 0:13:05WHY?!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Kevin's hilarious -

0:13:07 > 0:13:10but what he was doing really gives Jorja an insight

0:13:10 > 0:13:13into how it could be at the weekend.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Thank you everybody! Whoo!- Yeah!

0:13:18 > 0:13:21She's going to smash it at the Big Weekend.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22That's good.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24Back in Hull, another act

0:13:24 > 0:13:27who certainly doesn't lack stage presence

0:13:27 > 0:13:29is British grime artist Stormzy.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33# You're never too big for the boot

0:13:33 > 0:13:34# I've got the big size 12s on my feet

0:13:34 > 0:13:35# Let's go!

0:13:35 > 0:13:37# ..ain't big for my boot

0:13:37 > 0:13:38# Kick up the yout

0:13:38 > 0:13:39# Man know that I kick up the yout

0:13:39 > 0:13:41# Dem boy dere tried twist up the truth

0:13:41 > 0:13:43# Let's go, let's go!

0:13:43 > 0:13:45# You're getting way too big for your boots

0:13:45 > 0:13:47# You're never too big for the boot

0:13:47 > 0:13:48# I've got the big size 12s on my feet

0:13:48 > 0:13:50# ..ain't big for my boot

0:13:50 > 0:13:52# Kick up the yout

0:13:52 > 0:13:53# Man know that I kick up the yout

0:13:53 > 0:13:55# Dem boy dere tried twist up the truth... #

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Amazing stuff from Stormzy.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01The clock is counting down to Jorja's performance,

0:14:01 > 0:14:04so she's got herself stage-ready.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Jorja, your outfit is absolutely beautiful.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Tell me what kind of look you've gone for here.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11This is a '70s-inspired jumpsuit

0:14:11 > 0:14:13with gold detailing and gold jewellery,

0:14:13 > 0:14:16and I really like it because it's different

0:14:16 > 0:14:17to what I would usually wear.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20So I hear you had a bit of help putting this outfit together.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23What was it like being styled for Radio 1's Big Weekend?

0:14:23 > 0:14:24It was such a cool experience,

0:14:24 > 0:14:28because it gave me a flavour of what my life could be like.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Well, I love your look, Jorja.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32It's such a, like, cool performance outfit -

0:14:32 > 0:14:35and, to be perfectly honest, I don't think I could imagine you

0:14:35 > 0:14:37in, like, a pretty, frilly dress up there.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think this is more you.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

0:14:43 > 0:14:45To help style Jorja for her performance,

0:14:45 > 0:14:48she met up with celebrity stylist Alex Longmore,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51who has worked with stars like Gary Barlow and Little Mix.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's super important to have a strong look as a pop star

0:14:55 > 0:14:58because it's your whole image, it's like your whole brand.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Jorja, what I would really like to achieve with you today

0:15:02 > 0:15:05is a fantastic look, so you feel totally comfortable

0:15:05 > 0:15:07and it's got to make everyone remember you

0:15:07 > 0:15:09and remember your performance.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11So, Jorja, tell me what you love.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16- What's your style?- Nothing too bright or, like, really bold.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Steph, tell me, what do you like to see Jorja in?

0:15:18 > 0:15:20I like bold colours. I...

0:15:20 > 0:15:22THEY LAUGH

0:15:22 > 0:15:23I like bold.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Jorja's first outfit is a '90s-inspired grungy look

0:15:29 > 0:15:32with a grey T-shirt dress and black choker.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yeah, I really like this one.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I feel really comfortable in it and it's close to my style.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's something you would wear every day, though, Jorja,

0:15:40 > 0:15:42not on the big stage.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Grey dress was quite dull,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47but it was a typical, what Jorja would wear.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I was not so mad about that outfit

0:15:49 > 0:15:52because I didn't think it showed her to her potential.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55She could've just been walking to the shops in that.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59You look wicked!

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Amazing.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Jorja's second look is completely out there.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06A silver catsuit with a sequined cape

0:16:06 > 0:16:07and cool mirrored shades.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11I think you look amazing.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14You look like a pop star, you've got that stage presence.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17It's not something that I would usually go for.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19I think it looks fabulous.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I could see you singing on stage at the Big Weekend...- No, no, no, no.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Cut that. - I could see you singing on stage.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27It's fabulous.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28But it should be out of your comfort zone.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30That's about being a star.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34There's just no way!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I thought it looked great,

0:16:36 > 0:16:38and I thought it would look really good up on the stage,

0:16:38 > 0:16:41but Jorja didn't like it.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Because you're going to be like, "It's better than the first one."

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- That top...- No! No! - ..is really nice.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK, but I'm wearing it.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51- You're not wearing it.- But what if you wore that with something...?- No.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54This was meant to be the funny, jokey one.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56LAUGHTER

0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm the only one that's not laughing.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01She really, really looked good in that,

0:17:01 > 0:17:04but unfortunately she just wasn't feeling it.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Jorja's final outfit has a '70s feel.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's an elegant olive-green jumpsuit

0:17:13 > 0:17:15with a gold necklace.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I like the colour, I like the flares at the bottom,

0:17:18 > 0:17:23I like the sleeves, I like the zips, I like this, I like that...

0:17:23 > 0:17:25This is definitely my favourite one.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26And not the sequins?

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Yeah, no. Not the sequins. - Definitely not?- No.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31- Not to bring out...?- No!

0:17:33 > 0:17:37She definitely knows her own mind when it comes to style.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40So, Jorja, how are you feeling in the outfit that you've chosen

0:17:40 > 0:17:42for your big performance?

0:17:42 > 0:17:43I'm feeling really confident,

0:17:43 > 0:17:46and I can't wait to wear this one at the Big Weekend.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48In Hull, Jorja's rubbing shoulders

0:17:48 > 0:17:51with some of the biggest names in the music industry...

0:17:52 > 0:17:55..and backstage, she's caught up with two Radio 1 DJs.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59You meet people in this industry all the time -

0:17:59 > 0:18:01so, what should I do to build on my career?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04If you're going to start a career, then this is the place to start it -

0:18:04 > 0:18:06and the fact that you're doing it at 15,

0:18:06 > 0:18:08it's a great, fantastic start for you. Right, Cel?

0:18:08 > 0:18:09I couldn't do it. No way.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11No!

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Sing all you can, perform all you can.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Don't turn down any gig, cos the more that you can do now,

0:18:16 > 0:18:19the better a position you're going to be in in the future.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22It isn't an easy ride but if you do put those graft hours in,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24you will reap the rewards.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25I think hard work is key.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Another young singer who is rocking the Main Stage in Hull

0:18:32 > 0:18:35is 19-year-old Swedish pop megastar Zara Larsson.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38# ..as if it was the last

0:18:38 > 0:18:40# Live my day as if there was no past

0:18:40 > 0:18:43# Doin' it all night, all summer

0:18:43 > 0:18:45# Doin' it the way I wanna

0:18:45 > 0:18:48# I'mma dance my heart out till the dawn

0:18:48 > 0:18:50# But I won't be done when morning comes

0:18:50 > 0:18:52# Doin' it all night, all summer

0:18:52 > 0:18:55# Gonna spend it like no other

0:18:56 > 0:18:58# It was a crush

0:18:58 > 0:19:00# I kept saying I'mma stay in touch

0:19:00 > 0:19:02# But that thing went bust

0:19:02 > 0:19:04# So I gave it up... #

0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's just minutes until Jorja performs at the Big Weekend...

0:19:11 > 0:19:14..and there is just time for some last-minute advice

0:19:14 > 0:19:17from a couple of other acts who will be on the Main Stage.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18How excited are you right now?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Really excited!

0:19:20 > 0:19:24First, American rock sensations Imagine Dragons.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28In the series, Jorja actually sung Radioactive, by you guys, of course,

0:19:28 > 0:19:30in one of the sing-offs, and she absolutely smashed it.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Jorja, did you win that sing-off? - No.- Oh. Sorry!

0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's our fault.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39# Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh

0:19:39 > 0:19:45# I'm radioactive, radioactive. #

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Jorja's about to perform on the Main Stage.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- OK.- She's never been to a festival before.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51How big of a deal do you think that is?

0:19:51 > 0:19:55I think our first festival was about 25 people we were playing for,

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- so...we kind of started... - Yeah, you're starting like...

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Yeah, you're starting at the top. - At the top of the top.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- So, well done.- If you play some shows and it's five people,

0:20:03 > 0:20:06like, you know, it should be just as amazing and intense

0:20:06 > 0:20:08as, you know, 50,000 people.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11You've just got to get up there and be super confident

0:20:11 > 0:20:13and authentically yourself.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, Jorja, this is James. I'm sure you probably know James.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- James, this is Jorja. - Hi. How are you doing? How are you?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21British songwriting superstar James Arthur

0:20:21 > 0:20:23is also on hand for some advice.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- She's about to perform on the Main Stage.- Wow.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27What do you think about that? She's only 15.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Yeah, it's a big experience at 15 to do this.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I've been wanting to do this for, I don't know,

0:20:32 > 0:20:3620 years, or something, so, congratulations.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Have you got any tips for performing in front of a big crowd?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41What I used to make the mistake of doing

0:20:41 > 0:20:44is focusing on trying to do everything,

0:20:44 > 0:20:47trying to entertain people, trying to sound good -

0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think if you just begin by making sure that you sound good

0:20:50 > 0:20:53and then the rest will all kind of fall into place.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Just enjoy it. Just going to be fun,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58the crowd seem like they're really up for it

0:20:58 > 0:21:00and I'm sure it's going to be great.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03So, this is it. After months of battling it out

0:21:03 > 0:21:05in the Music Mansion,

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Jorja is about to perform on the Main Stage

0:21:08 > 0:21:10of one of the biggest UK music events...

0:21:17 > 0:21:20I don't think she realises how big of an opportunity this is for her.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23I am worried that she's done so much practice on her movement

0:21:23 > 0:21:24and her stage presence

0:21:24 > 0:21:26that when she gets up there and sees all those people,

0:21:26 > 0:21:28then it's all going to go out the window.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30..and to add to the pressure,

0:21:30 > 0:21:34she's even getting an introduction from legendary DJ Nick Grimshaw.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39Hello, Hull!

0:21:39 > 0:21:43I want to bring out a really new, amazing, exciting artist

0:21:43 > 0:21:45that I want you to make a lot of noise for.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47She's 15 years old

0:21:47 > 0:21:52and she is the winner of a TV show called Got What It Takes.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53CROWD CHEERS

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Here she is!

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Please make some noise for Jorja!

0:21:58 > 0:22:02First up, it's the energetic dance track by MNEK -

0:22:02 > 0:22:05but will Jorja remember to work the stage?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11# Sitting in this empty room

0:22:11 > 0:22:15# Telling myself I'm over you

0:22:15 > 0:22:17# I'd rather be alone than lonely

0:22:17 > 0:22:21# Wonder if you're thinking of me

0:22:21 > 0:22:23# Well, do ya?

0:22:23 > 0:22:28# Baby, baby, baby I wrote a song about you last night

0:22:28 > 0:22:33# It had the strangest melody

0:22:33 > 0:22:37# I wrote a song about you last night

0:22:37 > 0:22:40# And it went a little something like

0:22:40 > 0:22:43# La, la, la you broke my heart in two

0:22:43 > 0:22:45# I don't know what to do

0:22:45 > 0:22:47# You've got me so confused now

0:22:47 > 0:22:55# Baby, I wrote a song about you last night

0:22:55 > 0:22:57# Just say you love me I'll believe it

0:22:57 > 0:23:00# You don't even have to mean it

0:23:00 > 0:23:03# It's all I want

0:23:03 > 0:23:06# Every time I look around I sit and wonder

0:23:06 > 0:23:10# Where did you disappear?

0:23:10 > 0:23:13# My thoughts are no longer a cappella

0:23:13 > 0:23:15# But it doesn't seem to matter

0:23:15 > 0:23:19# Cos I feel you here I feel you here

0:23:19 > 0:23:25# Baby, baby, baby I wrote a song about you last night

0:23:25 > 0:23:29# It had the strangest melody

0:23:29 > 0:23:33# I wrote a song about you last night

0:23:33 > 0:23:36# And it went a little something like

0:23:36 > 0:23:40# La, la, la you broke my heart in two

0:23:40 > 0:23:42# I don't know what to do

0:23:42 > 0:23:44# You've got me so confused now

0:23:44 > 0:23:50# Baby, I wrote a song about you last night

0:23:50 > 0:23:54# Oh, yeah

0:23:54 > 0:23:58# Ooh, ooh...

0:23:58 > 0:24:05# It was all about you now. #

0:24:05 > 0:24:07- CROWD CHEERS - Thank you!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- She sounds amazing.- She sounds amazing.- I want to manage her.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13I'm serious.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Jorja has wowed the crowd with her stage presence...

0:24:18 > 0:24:21This is Secret Love Song by Little Mix.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23..but now she needs to win them over with her vocals.

0:24:24 > 0:24:32# When you hold me in the street and you kiss me on the dance floor

0:24:34 > 0:24:37# I wish that it could be like that
