Let's Dance Got What It Takes?

-Last time...

-If I could make one song not exist it would be this one.

..the song didn't go down well with the group...

Find the thing that's in the song that you dig

and drag it out of the music.

..the singers strutted their stuff on the catwalk...

I don't think she seemed to like it.

..the mums horsed around...

and in the seventh sing-off...

-Evan.

-..Evan moved into pole position.

Team Essex is very happy tonight.

Today...

-Ellie, do you want to have a go?

-Um...

..will last lesson nerves get the better of the group...

Evan. We haven't done Evan.

It was an interesting atmosphere in the lesson today.

..can anyone step up in a dance challenge...

It is quite hard because it's quite fast.

..will it be one step too far for the mums...

-SOBS:

-I can't do this!

..and who will walk away with that guaranteed spot in the Grand Final?

The winner of our final sing-off is...

# So come on, tell me what's it gonna be?

# I got, got, got what it takes now

# They're gonna hear me, gonna make 'em see

# I got, got, got what it takes now

# Uh-oh, uh-oh

# I got, got, got what it takes now

# Uh-oh, uh-oh

# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

Welcome back to the Music Mansion for the final time.

-Morning, everyone. ALL:

-Morning.

Evan, congratulations on your sing-off win.

You've edged yourself into the lead. How are you feeling?

Feeling very happy because I won the sing-off yesterday, but everyone

here's really talented and there's still another sing-off

so everything could change.

And for the rest of you, the competition is far from over.

Are you ready to find out what your next song is?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Let's go.

There's such an amazing prize at stake,

performing on the Main Stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend,

and today, for one of those guys,

they're going to be one step closer to that becoming a reality.

Once again, there are only three spots in the end-of-show sing-off,

but this one will decide who walks away with that automatic spot

in the Grand Final, leaving the other seven to face the public vote.

Currently, Evan is in the lead with two sing-off wins, but there

are five others who could all draw level and take it to a tie-break.

But first, as usual, the whole group will be learning the song

with our musical director David Tench.

So, David, the last song, we've got that range problem again.

-Yeah, that's right. Another big one.

-Do you think the kids will struggle?

Some of them are going to be a little bit freaked out.

-Shall we get them in?

-Yeah, let's do it.

-Hi, guys. ALL:

-Hi.

The final song you guys will be learning is...

..One Last Time by Ariana Grande.

You all look really excited about that.

# One last time, I need to be... #

One Last Time is a platinum-selling single from Ariana Grande's

second album My Everything.

It's a fast-paced pop dance track that shows off her huge vocal range

and it's Erin's choice.

It's my song and I've been waiting a while for it to come now

so I can really show myself and my strengths.

Is anyone not particularly happy about the song?

-It's a hard song.

-The chorus is a bit too high.

# I was a liar, I came into the fire. #

I like it but I don't love it.

# So one last time, I need to be. #

I'm very worried about the high notes

because I can't really hit high notes.

# One more time, I promise after... #

I like the song,

but I don't really know if it would be a song I would personally choose.

# Takes you home. #

Yeah, I don't really like it.

Thank you very much, guys.

So, this is a really challenging song.

I wish you all the luck in the world with it

and I'll see three of you in the sing-off.

-See you later.

-Bye.

This is the final lesson in the Music Mansion...

OK, guys, we've got work to do.

..and David Tench is expecting the group to end on a high.

I'm really excited for this last sing-off because I think we're

going to see the best of them all.

I mean, Erin, you've got to run it through all the way, though, first

cos it's your song.

# I was a liar, I gave into the fire. #

It would definitely mean a lot for me to get into the final sing-off

because...as I've only been in one.

# Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart

# All I really care is you wake up in my arms. #

Erin's a powerhouse singer.

She sounds fantastic on it.

Killer!

OK, so, Ellie, do you want to have a go?

-Mmm, OK.

-Any thoughts before we start?

-Erm...

-Plough straight in?

-OK.

-OK.

It was an interesting atmosphere in the lesson today actually.

People seemed a bit subdued.

Evan, we haven't done Evan.

-Evan, look at me.

-Huh?

-Look at me.

Maybe cos it's the last sing-off,

they're starting to feel the pressure.

# One last time I need to be the one who takes you home. #

Sounds great.

APPLAUSE

OK, so Jorja. Do you want to give this a go?

PIANO PLAYS

No, no, that's too high.

I've worked with you a lot and all of you now, so I do know your range.

-OK.

-Trust, trust, trust.

Trust me.

14-year-old Jorja from Hertfordshire has her heart set on

a career in music.

My dream job would be being a singer

because I would be able to provide for my family.

Oh, are you all right?

Oh.

She has already been in five sing-offs in the Music Mansion...

# When we were young. #

APPLAUSE

..but only managed to win one of them...

Jorja.

..after sometimes struggling to connect with the song.

I was falling asleep singing it. I was so bored.

What I want from her is emotional connection to the music.

But she could be Evan's main rival

if she makes it into the final sing-off.

# One more time

# I promise after that I'll let you go. #

Beautiful.

Ace.

-If you made it to the sing-off, you could do this one, right?

-Yeah.

It's been an edgy final lesson

and all eyes are on the singer in the lead, Evan.

# I'll let you go. #

Yeah, beautiful.

-So your voice is still quite tired, isn't it? It's quite airy.

-Yah.

At the moment, Evan is in the lead,

but he shouldn't drop his guard because he has to give

a fantastic performance again if he wants to make it.

I wish you a lot of luck. I hope you make it to the sing-off.

-ALL:

-Thank you.

-Well done.

# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

If you want a career in the music industry, it's not going to be easy,

so here's a few final tips that might help you.

Hi, guys, it's Fleur East and you're watching Got What It Takes?

Take any opportunity that comes your way.

Don't let anybody get in your way.

Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it.

Keep focused...to keep your mind set on a goal.

You have all the tools available to you now

that no-one ever used to have.

You can make entire albums in your bedroom.

You don't need anybody really.

Two of the end-of-show sing-off spots are up for grabs in

a music industry challenge and this is the very last one.

Guys, we've got a message from Lauren.

Hi, guys. To become the ultimate performer,

you can't just rely on killer vocals.

If you really want to entertain the crowd, you may also have to dance.

So in today's challenge, you're going to be heading into a studio

in London and learning some moves

from one of the hottest dance crews around, Entity Allstars,

and one of them just so happens to be my little brother.

Hi.

# Break it down, think of making a new sound

# Play a different show every night in front of a new crowd. #

Oh, yes, I love dancing.

I hate dancing. I cannot dance.

I can't dance. Oh, man!

The group are heading back into London for this challenge and

everyone is fired up for it.

# We're going to dance, we're going to dance. #

The singers are going to be put through their paces at the HQ

of one of the best hip-hop dance acts in the country...

Hi, we're Entity Allstars.

..but first they get to see some of the skills that put this young group

through to the final of Britain's Got Talent.

With the demo over, it's time to meet Tashan Muir,

the choreographer and director of the group.

So what you see here is a product of a lot of hard work.

Sometimes up to 24 hours in a week we train.

Is it tough always trying to stay at the top?

We come straight from school, three or four times a week.

It's a sacrifice we have to make to be in this group.

I had no idea how much hard work they had to put in

and how many hours they do dance.

So, guys, the challenge today is going to be

that I'm going to teach you a routine and then also

you're going to put your own little freestyle element into it.

-Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

No, seriously, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's go!

Later, the group will have to perform

a tricky dance routine that includes a freestyle move they have created.

So, guys, I'm going to be teaching you two eight-counts of dance.

First Tashan needs to teach them the steps.

The first move is always the most important cos the first thing

the audience are going to see, so make sure you put everything

into that first move, so I don't want to see this.

I want to see this.

But this challenge isn't about being the most experienced dancer.

One, two.

Today they will be judged on their focus...

Remember, guys, if you have any questions,

put your hand up and I'll help you.

..how well they progress and their energy.

But for the singers who haven't danced before,

it's not going to be easy.

Good. Again.

I've never performed dancing before so I don't know what...

if it goes well or not.

One, two, three and four.

No, energy.

I'm finding this really hard.

I haven't danced since I was four and that was at ballet.

Left, right, step, spin, out, in.

It is quite hard because it's quite fast.

I'm finding this challenge really difficult.

But no-one is giving up and after a gruelling practice session,

all eight have made a big impression with Tashan.

They're getting on really, really well.

They're getting on better than I expected.

I thought people were going to walk out.

I thought people would be like, "No, Tashan, I'm not doing it,"

but no-one did that.

Practice over, it's time for the dance challenge.

First the group must perform the choreographed routine together.

Energy, focus, the progression all on point.

Now this is your time. Let's go.

Five, six, five, six, seven and

one, two, three and four,

five, six, seven and eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four...

With the choreography complete, it's time to go solo.

Each member must pull off a freestyle move in front of Tashan.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, NEXT, five, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, let's go, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Good, two, three, four, five, six, seven, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yes!

The group have all bravely stepped up to the challenge

but now Tashan must pick the two he thinks deserve

those all-important sing-off spots.

This is actually harder than I thought.

-That was really hard and I am sweating, man.

-I am as well.

Their energy was up there.

-I think Kyra and Kelli have got this.

-Yeah.

OK, I've got my two.

So, guys, first of all, I just want to say you guys done extremely well.

I was really impressed.

The first person that I've picked is...

..Evan.

APPLAUSE

Well done.

From start to finish, you have been focused and determined. Well done.

Really happy because I get that chance to perform in the last

sing-off before we leave the Music Mansion and hopefully,

fingers crossed, hang on to my lead.

The second person for me in the performance,

the energy was off the chain, so for that reason, I have picked...

..Kellimarie.

I wasn't expecting it at all.

My glasses are fogging up cos I tried that hard.

Now I'm in the last sing-off,

I get another chance to show what I can do.

Well done, everyone. Congratulations.

Today the kids were amazing. They were more than amazing.

They were sick. They looked like they could be in Entity.

# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

So that's Evan and Kellimarie into the eighth and final sing-off.

It's the group's last night in the Music Mansion,

but it's the mums who are really letting their hair down.

# If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends

# Making laughs forever, friendship never ends. #

Go on, Lou.

O-o-o-o-o-oh!

Whoo!

It's the final day in the Music Mansion

and now it's down to last night's party animals to win the one

remaining sing-off spot.

Mums, it's the final challenge and it's a crucial one,

so to wrap things up, my mum's back to deliver the clue.

Having a great vocal range can be a real advantage as a singer,

but in this business only a few can really hit those high notes.

But this challenge isn't about singing,

however, there will be notes and you will be up high.

-Very, very high.

-Another high one.

-OK.

It can't be any higher than last time.

Wrong again, mums.

The eighth challenge is an assault course

hanging over 30 feet in the air.

-That's wobbling.

-But this game's not about speed. It's about memory.

The aim is to make it round the tricky course whilst looking out

for a series of different coloured musical instruments.

The mum that can remember the most after making a terrifying freefall

to the ground wins that final sing-off spot for their child.

As always, keeping an eye on proceedings,

is our games guru, Kevin Adams.

Eight mums' challenges and this really is a high note to end on.

What an amazing challenge!

And his first job is to try and convince Brook's mum Sharon

to stick around.

I can't do it. I can't get on there.

Everyone here has a fear of something.

I'm with them. I feel for them and I totally understand.

-I'll have a think about it.

-Yeah?

If Sharon doesn't take part,

Brook will once again miss out on the chance to sing.

I would really like to get in the sing-off because I've only

been in one and if I got in this one, I think I'd give it my all

and end it on a high.

OK, mums, Sharon's still deciding whether she's going to take part in

today's challenge but I'm glad to have you all here and

you're all raring to go. Mums, are you pumped?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's go!

First to take on the course, Kyra's mum, Margaret.

I don't think I can do it.

SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY

Oh, that's good, Margaret.

That's good.

It's a very nervy start for Margaret

but she has to keep looking out for the instruments.

Blue tambourine.

You've got plenty of time.

I can't even remember the instruments. I'm so scared.

Things aren't looking good for Kyra.

If my mum does manage to win this one, I'll get into the sing-off

so I can have two wins.

Then I'll be level with Evan.

I can't... I can't do this!

Just take your time, Margaret.

But, on the way back, she finds some new inspiration...

Kyra, Kyra, for Kyra.

..and quickly makes her way back to the platform.

But the scariest part is yet to come.

She must now freefall over 30 feet to the ground before reciting

all the instruments she can remember.

-Oh, my God!

-Sort the breathing out.

-OK.

-Just close your eyes.

-OK.

Close them.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

You're down, you're down, you're down.

You OK? Go.

Blue violin. Blue guitar.

Blue tambourine. Green xylophone.

Um...I can't remember any more.

It's OK, you've got five seconds.

-Think of anything.

-Red trumpet.

-Good girl. Well done.

Very proud of myself for doing it.

Hopefully Kyra knows that I tried.

Yes!

Despite being terrified,

Margaret has remembered a very respectable nine instruments.

I can't believe I did that. I'm so scared of heights.

Next to go it's Ellie's mum, Lou...

Think about the instruments you're seeing.

..and Erin's mum, Julia...

-You feeling OK?

-No.

Yes, Lou.

..who bravely make it round the course.

Yes, Julia!

I really do hope that my mum can win this for me,

considering it is my song this week.

But, unfortunately, both struggle to remember the instruments...

Orange saxophone.

Did I say yellow xylophone? Did I say blue guitar?

Well done, that was great.

..and neither can beat Margaret's score of nine,

so bang goes Erin's chances of performing her song.

After seeing the course, Sharon wasn't sure if she could take part

but she's decided to return for Brook.

OK, Brook's going to be so proud of you,

the fact you're doing this for him.

Take your time in the transition. That's really good.

Great. That's good.

-How are you feeling, Sharon?

-Terrified.

-Almost there...

-Despite her fears, Sharon makes it round the course.

-Yes! Brilliant!

-But will she jump?

SHE SCREAMS

Yes, Sharon! Yes! Yes! Yes!

-Go!

-Blue... Blue guitar.

Erm, yellow maracas...

Erm, blue...

It's a brave attempt but unfortunately

Sharon can only remember six instruments.

-What was the worst bit for you?

-Coming down, sitting on the end.

That means there are only two mums left, Jorja's mum, Steph...

Every time I'm against Val in a challenge, either one of us wins.

So, we're kind of even at the moment.

..and her biggest rival, Luka's mum, Valerie.

Well done, Valerie!

Blue guitar... Blue guitar...

-LUKA:

-My mum's done high ropes before plenty of times,

so I'm sure she can smash it.

SHE EXHALES

Good technique there, Steph, good technique.

-JORJA:

-I think she's going to have tough competition because she's up

against Val and my mum's really scared of heights.

-How are you feeling?

-Great!

Both mums have made it round the course. But now's the tricky bit.

Ooh!

Yes, Steph! Yes! Wow! Standing ascent!

Oh, that was great!

Whoo!

Yellow maracas.

Orange piano, blue guitar, erm...

-Xylophone.

-Time's out.

It's surprisingly difficult to memorise things

while you're being scared!

I hope I've remembered more than Val

but I really want to get Jorja in this final sing-off.

Valerie and Steph have given it their all,

but have either remembered more instruments than Margaret

and won the sing-off spot?

So close when we come to the results but there can be only one winner.

And that winner is...

Back at the Music Mansion, our eight are nervously awaiting the result.

All I'm thinking right now is that any second it's just

-going to start going, "Bing-bing, bing-bing!"

-Yeah.

-Three, two, one...

No!

-It's tense!

-Do you know how difficult this is, guys?

-PHONE RINGS

-Oh, my God!

-Hello?

-Hi, it's Val!

-Hi!

-Did you win?

-Yes!

-ALL:

-Yeah!

I won! Well, my mum won, and I'm going into the sing-off.

I'm really happy, I'm really proud of my mum.

Can I have like a camera five?

-Hi, Jorja.

-Hello!

-I did my very best but I came rock bottom.

Oh, my God! Why did you come last?

-Because I only remembered six instruments.

-Oh, it's a memory one.

# I got, got, got what it takes now. #

So, it's Luka that will be joining Evan and Kellimarie

in the final end of show sing-off.

They will each be performing their own version of One Last Time

by Ariana Grande.

And for the last time, our music maestro, David Tench,

will be helping fine-tune their performances.

-Hi, Kellimarie.

-Hi.

-How are you doing?

-Good, I've taught myself the song.

-Boom! Let's have a listen.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yeah!

# I was a liar

# I gave into the fire... #

I'm really proud of Kellimarie. In fact,

I'm blown away. She works very hard.

# ..you home... #

-Nice! Good job!

-Thank you.

Well done! You've done a lot of work, haven't you?

-I've put my own spin on it.

-How are you feeling?

I'm a firm believer of everything happens for a reason,

so that's the mind-set I'm going with.

So, this time, I'm just going to do it really, really slow, just

ballad, try to show off some of my low tones and keep it simple.

# I was a liar I gave into the fire... #

He's changed the song, he's made it a big ballad

and that's...cool, but I'm wondering, "Is it exciting enough?"

# I let you go... #

I definitely think it's a risk

but I'm not going all out for the last one. This time,

I wanted to push myself more in the emotional side of things.

14-year-old Evan is a talented singer from Essex

with big ambitions.

I think my absolute dream career has got to be being, like,

a recording artist and a performer.

I just think it would be really cool.

Evan first showed his star quality in

a radio interview with Nick Grimshaw.

It's like to meet my twin, everyone says I look like you wherever I go.

-I just heard that!

-You look like Nick Grimshaw!

And since then, he's performed in four sing-offs

in the Music Mansion...

# Tears on the ground Rain in my window. #

THEY CHEER

I think you're a pop star in the making,

it was really good, loved it.

..winning two of them with his energetic performances.

Evan. CHEERING

Evan is a really exciting performer, he's got loads to give.

So, changing up his singing style at this point in the competition

-is a brave decision.

-Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

-Thank you, thank you, thank you.

-DAVID LAUGHS

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Now, tell me little bit about the song.

Well, I've been practising loads because I don't want to have

another blunder with the lyrics, erm, so, I have got them down.

-Have you?

-Pretty much. Yeah.

# I was a liar I gave into the fire... #

I know that I made a major mistake, well, 100, last time,

but I'm really, really excited to put that behind me

and I want to show the mums that I have got what it takes.

-# The one who takes you home... #

-Nice.

Love what you have done with that pre-chorus.

I know that this is it and this is the one that I have to give my all.

Here we are in the last sing-off

and we've got three really great unique styles,

all different, it's exciting.

Rehearsals over, it's time for the eighth and final sing-off.

Evan is already in the lead but if Luka or Kellimarie win,

then they're going to draw level.

What an interesting sing-off this is going to be.

Each sing-off, the mums are the judges

who vote to decide which performer is the winner.

The singer with the most wins after today will automatically

qualify for the Grand Final in Show 10.

Currently, Evan is in the lead, with two wins,

but Luka or Kellimarie could draw level and force a tie-break.

-Hello, mums! ALL:

-Hello, Lauren.

Welcome to the eighth and final sing-off before the public vote.

As you all know, there's only one guaranteed place in the final

and today, one of our singers will secure that spot.

First up, it's Kellimarie.

CHEERING

'Kellimarie has been the dark horse of the competition.

'Could she surprise everyone today?'

# I was a liar I gave into the fire

# And I know and I know and I know she gives you everything

# But, boy, I couldn't give it to you

# I know, I know, I know that you got everything

# But I got nothing here without you

# So one last time

# I need to be the one who takes you home

# One last time I need to be the one

# Who takes you-ou-ou-ou Ooh, ho-o-o-ome... #

-Thank you.

-CHEERING

Kellimarie, that performance was absolutely breathtaking.

That was really emotional,

you put every bit of feeling into that, as if you wrote that song.

-Just simply beautiful, Kellimarie, you're a star.

-Thank you.

Kellimarie has just gone from strength to strength.

Now, she steps up there with her guitar and she's confident in

every performance she gives.

I really enjoyed it, I think it went quite well.

It was actually quite emotional

because it is my last time in a sing-off.

Next to perform today, it's Evan.

CHEERING

for the first time, Evan has decided to give a slow,

emotional performance. Will the gamble pay off?

# I don't deserve it I know I don't deserve it

# But stay with me a minute I swear I'll make it worth it

# And I know, I know, I know that you got everything

# Boy, I couldn't give it to you Oh, baby

# So, one last time I need to be the one

# To take you home

# Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart

# All I really care is you wake up in my arms

# One last time I need to be the one

# To take you home... #

CHEERING

-Evan, that was so beautiful.

-Thank you.

And that was the first time I've ever heard you sing a slow ballad.

Thea, how proud are you feeling right now?

Yeah, very proud, it was beautiful, well done.

You've done it again, you just keep getting better and better.

-I really liked the high notes.

-Thank you.

Today, he took a risk, he tried something new.

He sang this song as a ballad and that risk paid off,

the mums loved it.

Just feel like I threw every bit of, like,

myself and my emotions and everything into that last

ever performance, to try and win over the mums.

Next up, it's Luka.

CHEERING

In the past, Luka has struggled to remember his lyrics.

Will the pressure get to him once more?

# I was a liar I gave into the fire

# I know I should have fought it At least I'm being honest

# One last time I promise after that

# I'll let you go

# I don't deserve it I know I don't deserve it

# Just stay with me a minute, I swear I'll make it worth it

# And I know, I know, I know that you've got everything

# But I couldn't give anything to you

# Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart

# All I really care is I wake up in your arms

# So, one last time I promise after that

# I'll let you go. #

CHEERING

Luka, in my opinion, that was the best I've ever seen you perform.

-Thank you.

-You did beautifully, Luka, yeah,

and well done for working so hard on the song and it's... It was great.

I really liked it, Luka. You're the baby of the bunch

and you've done really well

-throughout the competition.

-Thank you.

CHEERING

Luka has come so far in his time here at the Music Mansion.

Now he can hold himself together and really deliver a great performance.

I'm really buzzed.

I just finished the sing-off and it went really well.

And now there's a chance I'll get in that final spot.

Mums, you've heard three awesome performances but who is your winner?

Please vote now.

The mums must now decide

who they think deserves to win the final sing-off.

And the winner of our final sing-off is...

Whoever wins today definitely deserves it

cos everyone's so talented.

I think I could have this one.

I gave it my best shot and that's all I can do.

..Evan.

CHEERING

-Oh, my God!

-I won the sing-off! Thank you!

I think what swung it for Evan in the end was his performance skills.

Whenever he takes to the stage, he really owns it.

Evan, you've won that guaranteed spot in the final.

-How are you feeling?

-Really good!

With three sing-off wins, Evan goes straight through to the grand final.

We've done it, I'm very proud and we're happy bunnies! Yay!

Next time...

..the remaining seven singers battle it out

to join Evan in the grand final.

Who will you vote for?

I have no idea who's going to go through.

THEY SING LONG NOTES

It really could be anyone.

-ALL:

-# All I really care is you wake up in my arms

# So, one last time

# I need to be the one who takes you home. #

APPLAUSE

That was impressive, we didn't even have to stop.

You guys are getting GOOD at this!
