Hundreds auditioned...

0:00:020:00:03

What category are you in?

0:00:030:00:04

..but only eight of the very best were chosen.

0:00:040:00:07

To battle it out...

0:00:100:00:11

-Bang!

-Ooh!

0:00:110:00:13

It's in my mouth!

0:00:130:00:14

..for the opportunity of a lifetime.

0:00:140:00:18

The prize is huge.

0:00:180:00:20

But with their mums as the judges...

0:00:200:00:22

Involve us in your performance.

0:00:220:00:24

-APPLAUSE

-It's not even an emotional song!

0:00:240:00:26

..and some seriously tough challenges...

0:00:260:00:29

I can't, I can't!

0:00:290:00:31

-Ah!

-Come on!

0:00:310:00:33

-I've hurt my leg.

-Just sit down, just let's sit down.

0:00:330:00:35

CHEERING

0:00:350:00:37

..will they still want to be part of the music industry?

0:00:370:00:40

I'm just urging you to dig deeper.

0:00:400:00:42

This song really scares me.

0:00:420:00:43

When they find out what it's really like...

0:00:430:00:45

Get a bit run down, you get a bit exhausted.

0:00:450:00:48

I don't get to spend time with my mum.

0:00:480:00:49

-One, two...

-It was embarrassing,

0:00:490:00:51

and it felt like dancing on your own in a party.

0:00:510:00:54

The music industry is so tough.

0:00:540:00:57

-Cut there!

-You're under pitch all the way through.

0:00:570:01:00

One bad performance, and it could all be over for you.

0:01:000:01:03

Sorry. Ooh.

0:01:030:01:05

It just made me feel that I was...

0:01:050:01:07

..really bad onstage.

0:01:070:01:09

This...

0:01:090:01:11

is Got What It Takes?

0:01:110:01:13

Have you ever, like, lied to your mum?

0:01:130:01:15

-Erm...

-So, good luck!

0:01:150:01:16

-ALL:

-Oh!

-What?

0:01:160:01:18

# So come on Tell me what's it going to be

0:01:200:01:22

# I got, got Got what it takes, now

0:01:220:01:25

# They gonna hear me

0:01:250:01:26

# Gonna make them see

0:01:260:01:28

# I got, got Got what it takes, now

0:01:280:01:31

# Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

0:01:310:01:34

# I got, got Got what it takes, now

0:01:340:01:36

# Oh-oh

0:01:360:01:38

# Oh-oh-oh

0:01:380:01:39

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

0:01:390:01:42

Hi, guys, welcome back to Got What It Takes?

0:01:440:01:47

The show that lifts the lid on what it's really like

0:01:470:01:49

to work in the music industry.

0:01:490:01:51

Last time, we had tears...

0:01:510:01:53

I am a bit upset...

0:01:530:01:54

-..tension...

-No way!

0:01:540:01:56

I can't do it!

0:01:560:01:57

..and tantrums...

0:01:570:01:59

I don't really want to answer that question.

0:01:590:02:01

Sorry, can I start again?

0:02:010:02:02

..But also some of the best young talent the UK had to offer.

0:02:020:02:05

But this time, the stakes are even higher for our eight young hopefuls.

0:02:080:02:12

The Music Mansion.

0:02:130:02:15

The new home of eight more talented young singers and their mums.

0:02:170:02:20

I'd just love to be able to get to perform every night.

0:02:220:02:25

My dream job is

0:02:270:02:28

to be a singer-songwriter.

0:02:280:02:30

I can sing jazz, pop, I can rap.

0:02:300:02:34

I just want to share my music with people.

0:02:350:02:39

I would like to be famous.

0:02:390:02:40

Leaving a mark on the world.

0:02:400:02:43

Singing is the most important thing in my life.

0:02:430:02:46

It's always about the feel of the song, and the emotion.

0:02:470:02:50

I've got a really fixed mind-set.

0:02:500:02:52

I want to make it big.

0:02:520:02:54

With everyone here, it's time to reveal what's at stake.

0:02:570:03:00

Hello, everybody.

0:03:000:03:02

-ALL:

-Hello!

0:03:020:03:03

So as you guys know, last year's champion got to perform

0:03:030:03:06

at Radio 1's Big Weekend

0:03:060:03:08

on the Introducing Stage.

0:03:080:03:10

It was an amazing opportunity,

0:03:100:03:11

but this year, there's an even bigger prize up for grabs.

0:03:110:03:15

The winner will get to perform at the festival again,

0:03:170:03:21

but this time, it will be on the Main Stage

0:03:210:03:26

in front of around 20,000 people!

0:03:260:03:30

Now I know what the prize is,

0:03:430:03:44

I can't wait to get started on the competition!

0:03:440:03:47

It's just a dream, really.

0:03:470:03:48

This could be like a chance to finally make it.

0:03:480:03:51

Are you ready to get started?

0:03:510:03:52

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's go!

0:03:520:03:55

The prize is absolutely amazing this time,

0:03:550:03:58

but it's not something where you can go on stage and just wing it.

0:03:580:04:01

They need to be prepared.

0:04:010:04:03

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

0:04:030:04:06

Each episode, only three of the kids will get to perform

0:04:080:04:10

in an end-of-show sing-off,

0:04:100:04:13

and those places can be won in a series of challenges.

0:04:130:04:17

But the entire group will be learning the first song

0:04:170:04:20

with our music maestro, David Tench.

0:04:200:04:23

So, David, we're back,

0:04:230:04:25

and starting off with a really, really hard song.

0:04:250:04:28

This particular artist is so well-known now,

0:04:280:04:30

so to bring their own flavour to this

0:04:300:04:32

is going to be quite a challenge,

0:04:320:04:33

but, you know, that's what we're here to do. I'm so excited.

0:04:330:04:35

-I think they're up to it. Shall we get them in?

-Let's do it!

0:04:350:04:38

Hi, guys!

0:04:380:04:39

So, each week, you guys will be learning a track

0:04:390:04:42

that one of you has picked for the sing-off.

0:04:420:04:44

But the question is,

0:04:440:04:46

whose track will you be learning today?

0:04:460:04:49

The song you guys will be singing this week is...

0:04:520:04:56

..When We Were Young by Adele.

0:04:580:04:59

You guys all look really excited!

0:05:020:05:04

# Everybody loves the things you do... #

0:05:060:05:09

When We Were Young is a track from Adele's most recent album,

0:05:090:05:13

which has sold over 15 million copies,

0:05:130:05:16

and has been number one in 28 countries.

0:05:160:05:19

The song demonstrates her amazing vocal range,

0:05:190:05:22

and it's Jorja's song choice.

0:05:220:05:24

I was really happy that my song was the first song,

0:05:240:05:26

because it's kind of like my chance to show what I can do.

0:05:260:05:30

# Of when we were young... #

0:05:300:05:33

I wouldn't really say this song is my favourite,

0:05:330:05:35

because I'm not too familiar with it.

0:05:350:05:38

# In case it is the last time... #

0:05:380:05:40

I can sing Adele's songs, but I've never heard of that song before.

0:05:400:05:43

# ..exactly like we were before we realise... #

0:05:430:05:48

Well, I think the song's...

0:05:480:05:50

It's not my type.

0:05:500:05:52

# When we were young. #

0:05:520:05:55

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:550:05:58

Thank you very much, guys.

0:05:580:05:59

So, I am going to leave you in the hands of David now.

0:05:590:06:02

And when I come back,

0:06:020:06:03

three of you are going to be getting ready for the sing-off.

0:06:030:06:06

Good luck!

0:06:060:06:07

-See you later. ALL:

-Bye!

0:06:070:06:09

David Tench is one of the best musical directors in the business.

0:06:090:06:13

OK, guys. First song, we can just walk through this nice and easy.

0:06:130:06:18

He's worked with megastars like Kylie Minogue and Take That,

0:06:180:06:21

so our eight have got a lot to live up to...

0:06:210:06:24

The prize to sing at Radio 1's Big Weekend is huge,

0:06:240:06:28

so we're going to have to work on all kinds of things

0:06:280:06:31

to get them ready for that.

0:06:310:06:33

Jorja, this is your choice,

0:06:330:06:34

so you feel comfortable with this song, right?

0:06:340:06:36

-Yeah.

-SHE COUGHS

0:06:360:06:38

DAVID COUGHS

0:06:380:06:39

All right!

0:06:390:06:40

# Everybody loves the things you do

0:06:420:06:47

# From the way you talk

0:06:470:06:50

# To the way you move #

0:06:500:06:53

Yeah!

0:06:530:06:54

I felt that there was a lot of pressure

0:06:540:06:56

being the first one to sing.

0:06:560:06:57

It's kind of like, "Who's going to do it better?" type thing.

0:06:570:07:01

# When we were young. #

0:07:010:07:05

Yeah!

0:07:050:07:07

Fantastic, Jorja. Well done!

0:07:080:07:10

That was like a walk in the park for you, wasn't it?

0:07:100:07:13

-Oh!

-THEY LAUGH

0:07:130:07:14

So, if you guys are happy,

0:07:140:07:16

let's just work through and each take a turn.

0:07:160:07:19

# Of when we were young

0:07:190:07:23

# Let me photograph you in this light

0:07:230:07:27

# In case it is the last time... #

0:07:270:07:30

So Jorja performed really well today,

0:07:300:07:32

and then I noticed, as the session went on,

0:07:320:07:34

as she heard the other kids sing,

0:07:340:07:37

I think maybe she was starting to get a little bit nervous

0:07:370:07:39

and thinking, "Whoa, I've got some competition here."

0:07:390:07:41

# We were sad of getting old

0:07:410:07:45

# It made us restless

0:07:450:07:48

# When we were young. #

0:07:480:07:51

Really good, really good, really good, really good.

0:07:510:07:54

You want to be better than how everyone else sounds,

0:07:540:07:57

and you don't want anyone to be better than you, so...

0:07:570:07:59

Yeah.

0:07:590:08:00

14-year-old Jorja

0:08:020:08:03

is a soulful singer

0:08:030:08:04

from Hertfordshire,

0:08:040:08:05

who is a pop diva in the making.

0:08:050:08:07

I like to sing Beyonce, Whitney Houston,

0:08:070:08:10

Celine Dion, Mariah Carey.

0:08:100:08:13

At the auditions, she blew everyone away performing a Whitney classic.

0:08:130:08:17

# Will always love you. #

0:08:170:08:24

And her mum has high hopes when it comes to the competition...

0:08:240:08:28

I want her to win.

0:08:280:08:29

She's going to have to try her best at all times.

0:08:290:08:32

..which is an understandable mentality from an Olympic sprinter.

0:08:320:08:36

I was an elite athlete.

0:08:360:08:38

I ran the 100 metres in 11.27 seconds. Peuw!

0:08:400:08:44

She takes everything so seriously

0:08:440:08:46

because she wants to win at everything!

0:08:460:08:48

For 14, look at her!

0:08:480:08:50

Winner!

0:08:500:08:51

Adele's big ballad may be perfectly suited to Jorja,

0:08:510:08:55

but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

0:08:550:08:57

-Right, Brook.

-Could I...

-What are you saying?

0:08:570:09:00

Could I wait and hear someone else sing before I do it?

0:09:000:09:03

Well, if you want to, yeah.

0:09:030:09:05

I wanted to hear everybody else before,

0:09:050:09:06

cos I wasn't, like, quite confident with it.

0:09:060:09:08

# Everybody loves the things you do

0:09:080:09:12

# From the way you talk

0:09:130:09:15

Yeah.

0:09:150:09:17

# To the way you move. #

0:09:170:09:21

-Yeah!

-APPLAUSE

0:09:210:09:25

-OK, Brook.

-Yeah.

0:09:250:09:27

So you deferred to the group, and now it's back on you, man!

0:09:270:09:31

I think Brook just needs to concentrate on his own style,

0:09:310:09:34

and not feel pulled along by other singers,

0:09:340:09:38

and the way other people do it.

0:09:380:09:40

# Everybody here is watching you

0:09:400:09:45

# Cos you feel like home... #

0:09:450:09:48

I think Brook, definitely, I don't even think he's a dark horse,

0:09:480:09:51

I think he's just standout, like, competition.

0:09:510:09:53

Brooke is very exciting, I think.

0:09:530:09:56

# When we were young. #

0:09:560:09:59

-Yeah!

-APPLAUSE

0:09:590:10:02

I love it!

0:10:020:10:03

What I love about it is that you have

0:10:030:10:05

a completely different approach. Well done.

0:10:050:10:07

I'm really impressed with the talent this series,

0:10:070:10:09

and there are some vocals there

0:10:090:10:11

that you could stick right on top of a pop record

0:10:110:10:13

and have a smash hit already.

0:10:130:10:16

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

0:10:160:10:17

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

0:10:170:10:20

Hi, guys. So as you know, making it in the music industry isn't easy.

0:10:230:10:27

So here's a few tips that might help you.

0:10:270:10:30

Hello, I'm Charlie Puth,

0:10:300:10:31

and you're watching Got What It Takes?

0:10:310:10:33

The best advice - if you believe, you can achieve.

0:10:330:10:36

I think you've got to believe in yourself.

0:10:360:10:37

I think it's really important to have an online presence,

0:10:370:10:40

because you can make this connection and special bond with your fans.

0:10:400:10:43

Practise every single day,

0:10:430:10:44

on your instrument or your voice, anything.

0:10:440:10:47

Each episode, two of the end-of-show sing-off spots

0:10:490:10:51

can be won in a music industry challenge.

0:10:510:10:54

Guys, we've got our first message from Lauren.

0:10:540:10:56

And it's time for the first.

0:10:560:10:57

Having a great voice can get you a long way in the music industry,

0:10:570:11:01

but if you want to establish yourself as a serious artist,

0:11:010:11:04

it's a big advantage if you can create your own material.

0:11:040:11:07

So, your first challenge is all about songwriting.

0:11:070:11:10

And today, you're going to be learning from someone

0:11:100:11:12

who was in one of the biggest boybands in the world,

0:11:120:11:14

but it all happened ten years before any of you were born.

0:11:140:11:17

Aw.

0:11:170:11:19

Tony Mortimer was a member

0:11:220:11:24

of '90s boyband sensation East 17.

0:11:240:11:27

# Stay now

0:11:270:11:29

# Baby, if you've got to go away... #

0:11:290:11:31

The group was Take That's main rivals in the charts,

0:11:310:11:34

and sold over 20 million records worldwide.

0:11:340:11:38

And it was Tony who wrote this number one song

0:11:380:11:41

about the death of his brother,

0:11:410:11:42

winning a prestigious Ivor Novello award.

0:11:420:11:45

-Hello!

-ALL:

-Hi!

0:11:450:11:47

I'm Tony Mortimer.

0:11:470:11:48

I'm here today to give you some tips on songwriting,

0:11:480:11:51

and help you in any way I can if you've got any questions.

0:11:510:11:54

-What is it like to be really famous?

-It's mayhem!

0:11:540:11:57

SCREAMING AND SHOUTING

0:11:570:11:58

Your whole lifestyle changes.

0:11:580:12:01

I missed the birth of my daughter.

0:12:010:12:03

I was in Hawaii, my friend came in,

0:12:030:12:05

he said, "Oh, by the way, you've just had a baby".

0:12:050:12:07

I'm like, "Oh, OK."

0:12:070:12:08

So, there's lots of sacrifices you make.

0:12:080:12:11

What was it like going from a real high,

0:12:110:12:13

and then the band breaking up?

0:12:130:12:15

It's a complete shock to the system, you know,

0:12:150:12:18

going from all that mania and hysteria,

0:12:180:12:21

and then all of a sudden it goes really quiet,

0:12:210:12:23

and then the quiet can be so loud, it's deafening,

0:12:230:12:27

and you've got to prepare for that, as well.

0:12:270:12:29

I learned that

0:12:290:12:30

if you want to stay up there,

0:12:300:12:31

you're going to have to work hard

0:12:310:12:32

and make sacrifices.

0:12:320:12:33

He even missed his child's birth,

0:12:330:12:35

and I think that would have been quite hard for him.

0:12:350:12:37

So now, I'm going to give you your challenge.

0:12:370:12:40

You'll be put into pairs

0:12:400:12:42

to write a song about your mother.

0:12:420:12:45

-Best of luck!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Off you go.

0:12:460:12:49

They weren't fazed by the challenge at all.

0:12:490:12:51

If you told me at that age I've got to write a song about my mum,

0:12:510:12:53

I'd be like a rabbit in the headlights!

0:12:530:12:55

But they looked really cool.

0:12:550:12:57

Before the writing begins,

0:12:570:12:58

there's just time to interview the topic of their songs, the mums.

0:12:580:13:03

-What's it about?

-You.

-Me?

0:13:030:13:05

Tell me about your past.

0:13:050:13:07

-SHE LAUGHS

-Tell me some embarrassing stories.

0:13:070:13:10

I was there when...

0:13:100:13:13

-you had your first boyfriend?

-No.

0:13:130:13:15

Can you think of anything funny you can put in there?

0:13:150:13:17

Erm...

0:13:170:13:18

-Do you want to come back to that?

-Yeah, I'll come back to that.

-OK.

0:13:180:13:21

Thinks she knows it all.

0:13:210:13:23

Thanks for that, Erin!

0:13:230:13:25

-You're not very helpful.

-Ooh, OK.

0:13:250:13:28

I don't know. You always come up with better ideas than I do.

0:13:280:13:31

Do I not help you in any way?

0:13:310:13:33

Well, you shout at me a lot!

0:13:330:13:35

-You're hot at me a lot.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:13:350:13:36

It needs to be all the important stuff,

0:13:360:13:38

like spending time together.

0:13:380:13:39

You don't let me spend much time with you!

0:13:390:13:42

After getting inspiration from their mums,

0:13:440:13:46

it's time to pair off for the challenge.

0:13:460:13:48

Brook has been teamed with Ellie.

0:13:480:13:50

I'll go low, and you go high.

0:13:500:13:52

Like a harmony of like... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

0:13:520:13:54

Like that, or something like that?

0:13:540:13:56

Kyra is with Kellimarie.

0:13:560:13:58

Let's think of things that rhyme with ground.

0:13:580:14:01

-Round.

-Sound.

0:14:010:14:03

Jorja is with Luka.

0:14:030:14:05

For the verse, I think we should talk about

0:14:050:14:07

good things about our mums.

0:14:070:14:10

They cook you pancakes, that's a good thing about mums.

0:14:100:14:13

And Erin is with Evan.

0:14:130:14:15

So, I think you should go, "You are there..."

0:14:150:14:17

-The one you done originally.

-When I need you.

-That one.

0:14:170:14:19

"When I need you."

0:14:190:14:20

The pairs haven't got long to finish their songs,

0:14:200:14:23

and then Tony will pick a winner.

0:14:230:14:25

They will be judged on teamwork,

0:14:250:14:27

song structure, and lyrical content.

0:14:270:14:30

It takes an amazing amount of courage,

0:14:300:14:32

to bring out something sometimes so personal that's in your life.

0:14:320:14:35

While the teams try to finish their songs...

0:14:350:14:37

-BOTH:

-# Never hit the ground

0:14:370:14:38

# I'll try my hardest to make you proud. #

0:14:380:14:40

That's it.

0:14:400:14:42

..the mums have caught up with Tony to find out more about the industry.

0:14:420:14:45

Songwriters and performers are perfectionists,

0:14:450:14:48

and if you're a creative person, you need that outlet,

0:14:480:14:51

otherwise, you know, life can be really, really difficult.

0:14:510:14:55

So what advice could you give us, as parents, to support our kids?

0:14:550:14:58

The key word there is support.

0:14:580:15:00

You know, they're going to make mistakes, the same as we did.

0:15:000:15:03

God knows I made horrific mistakes in my life!

0:15:030:15:05

But just support them and be a bit of a cushion for them, you know?

0:15:050:15:09

Time's up.

0:15:130:15:14

Now the four teams must perform the songs they have written

0:15:140:15:17

in front of Tony.

0:15:170:15:18

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Hi.

0:15:180:15:20

First up, it's Evan and Erin.

0:15:200:15:22

In your own time.

0:15:220:15:24

-# Hey

-BOTH:

-# You're the light in the night sky

0:15:250:15:28

# Guide me from wrong and right

0:15:280:15:31

-# Make everything all right

-# My mother knows best

0:15:310:15:36

# You always moan Take away my phone

0:15:360:15:39

-# Tell me that I have to go

-Go

0:15:390:15:41

# Go to my room

0:15:410:15:42

# That I have to clean

0:15:420:15:44

# Why you always gotta be so mean? #

0:15:440:15:46

I worked with Erin

0:15:460:15:47

and we sort of took a different approach

0:15:470:15:49

and sort of went for more of a funny, teenager approach.

0:15:490:15:51

# Mother knows best

0:15:510:15:54

-# Yeah

-# Mother knows best

0:15:540:15:57

-BOTH:

-# One, two, three Mother knows best. #

0:15:570:16:01

Well done, wow. Fantastic.

0:16:010:16:03

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you. See you later.

0:16:030:16:05

-We sort of done the best, I think, we could.

-Yeah.

0:16:050:16:08

We didn't forget any of the words which is good

0:16:080:16:09

because, like, five minutes before...

0:16:090:16:11

-Before we completely forgot everything.

-Yeah.

0:16:110:16:13

Next to perform it's Kyra and Kellimarie.

0:16:130:16:16

-BOTH:

-# So I say thanks

0:16:170:16:19

# For everything you do

0:16:190:16:25

# Never let me down I never hit the ground

0:16:260:16:28

# I'll try my hardest to make you feel proud

0:16:280:16:30

# You're my everything Inspire me to sing

0:16:300:16:32

# So I say thanks for everything. #

0:16:320:16:34

I've never co-wrote with someone,

0:16:340:16:36

but she's got a different style

0:16:360:16:38

to me, so it kind of worked.

0:16:380:16:39

-BOTH:

-# So I say thanks

0:16:390:16:40

# For everything

0:16:400:16:44

# You do. #

0:16:440:16:54

Whoo! Well done.

0:16:540:16:57

I think we done quite well.

0:16:570:16:58

We were quite nervous before, but I think it really paid off.

0:16:580:17:00

Yeah.

0:17:000:17:02

Jorja and Luka are next in front of Tony.

0:17:020:17:05

# Thank you for everything you've done for me

0:17:050:17:09

# You always know how to make me happy

0:17:090:17:12

# I hope we'll never have to be apart

0:17:120:17:15

# Because you'll always have you in my heart... #

0:17:150:17:19

I found Tony was, like, a really helpful guy.

0:17:190:17:21

He actually taught us a lot, even in that short space of time.

0:17:210:17:24

Really good tips on songwriting.

0:17:240:17:25

-BOTH:

-# Thank you, thank you, thank you

0:17:250:17:28

# For everything

0:17:280:17:31

# Cos you're always there and you'll always care

0:17:310:17:36

# No matter what it may be

0:17:360:17:38

# You're my mummy. #

0:17:380:17:40

Well done.

0:17:420:17:43

That went all right.

0:17:430:17:45

I think your part was very good...

0:17:450:17:47

-Thank you.

-..but I messed up

0:17:470:17:48

a couple of times.

0:17:480:17:50

Finally, it's Ellie and Brook.

0:17:500:17:52

-BOTH:

-# You taught me how to be strong

0:17:540:17:58

# Even though you don't know where you're going

0:17:580:18:02

# Sometimes

0:18:020:18:03

# And maybe it's make-believe

0:18:030:18:07

# But would do anything, anything to be just like you... #

0:18:070:18:13

-I think working together was really good, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:18:130:18:15

We both kind of, like, bounced off each other's ideas.

0:18:150:18:18

# Just like you

0:18:180:18:20

# Just like you. #

0:18:230:18:28

Yay, well done, that was awesome.

0:18:280:18:32

-We think it went really well.

-Yeah.

-Hopefully.

-Good.

0:18:320:18:35

Yeah. Get yourself in here!

0:18:350:18:38

HE LAUGHS

0:18:380:18:39

Tony has now heard all four songs

0:18:390:18:41

and has a very tricky decision to make.

0:18:410:18:44

Really difficult to choose a winner because they were all magnificent.

0:18:440:18:49

First of all, I've got to congratulate all of you.

0:18:490:18:52

I've worked with so many people over the years

0:18:520:18:56

that are still not as good as you guys are now,

0:18:560:18:59

so you should be really proud of yourselves.

0:18:590:19:01

But for me the winner is...

0:19:010:19:04

..Luka and Jorja.

0:19:110:19:13

I'm really happy I won the challenge

0:19:160:19:17

cos that means I get to be in

0:19:170:19:19

the sing-off and now all I can do

0:19:190:19:21

is just smash it.

0:19:210:19:22

I became emotionally involved in the song.

0:19:220:19:24

That is so mature to be able to write like that.

0:19:240:19:27

There's definitely some serious songwriters there for the future.

0:19:270:19:30

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

0:19:300:19:32

So that's Jorja and Luka through to tomorrow's sing-off.

0:19:340:19:37

It's been a busy first day, but things are just getting started.

0:19:370:19:41

Welcome to the Music Mansion.

0:19:410:19:44

It's 7:45pm

0:19:440:19:47

and the housemates are gathering round the piano.

0:19:470:19:50

THEY LAUGH

0:19:500:19:53

Today was really good cos it was our first day.

0:19:530:19:55

-These two won the challenge.

-Yay!

0:19:550:19:58

How do you think today went, Evan?

0:19:580:20:00

Well, you know,

0:20:000:20:02

I thought it went good up until the point where I lost the challenge.

0:20:020:20:05

-Aargh!

-Ah!

0:20:050:20:07

ERIN SCREAMS

0:20:070:20:08

My face is really shiny.

0:20:080:20:10

Why is my face really shiny?

0:20:100:20:11

It's a new day in the Music Mansion,

0:20:160:20:18

and the mums are about to face their first physical challenge.

0:20:180:20:22

We've got a message from Lauren.

0:20:220:20:24

The winner will secure the third and final end-of-show sing-off spot

0:20:240:20:28

for their child.

0:20:280:20:29

Morning, guys. May I introduce you to my wonderful mum.

0:20:290:20:33

-Hi.

-She's had my back through some of the toughest times in my career

0:20:330:20:36

and if your little stars want to make it in the music industry,

0:20:360:20:39

they are going to need you every step of the way.

0:20:390:20:41

So now is your chance to show just how committed you really are

0:20:410:20:45

in your first challenge, Rock And Rollers.

0:20:450:20:49

THEY LAUGH

0:20:490:20:52

-Oh, no.

-Do we have to wear the wigs as well?

-Silly wigs.

0:20:520:20:55

They're going to make us look really silly.

0:20:550:20:58

I'm afraid that's right, mums.

0:20:580:21:00

In the first challenge you'll be dressed as rock stars.

0:21:000:21:03

And racing each other in giant, inflatable balls

0:21:040:21:07

on a track filled with water.

0:21:070:21:09

There are three heats,

0:21:100:21:11

and the two mums with the fastest times

0:21:110:21:13

will then battle it out in a final race.

0:21:130:21:17

Making sure they stick to the rules is our games guru Kevin Adams.

0:21:170:21:21

I've worked with dedicated dancers

0:21:210:21:23

and Olympians, but nothing compares

0:21:230:21:25

to a mum who is trying to win

0:21:250:21:26

a top spot for their child.

0:21:260:21:28

They're in it to win it.

0:21:280:21:29

OK, mums, it's time to get serious.

0:21:290:21:31

There's only one spot left in the sing-off,

0:21:310:21:33

and which one of you mums is going to get that spot, I don't know.

0:21:330:21:36

Thea, how are you feeling?

0:21:360:21:38

I'm really nervous actually

0:21:380:21:39

cos it's the first time the pressure is on me,

0:21:390:21:41

and I want to make Evan proud so he can sing.

0:21:410:21:43

Sharon, do you think you can win?

0:21:430:21:44

Yes, I've got to do it for Brook.

0:21:440:21:46

-Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Let's go.

0:21:460:21:49

In the first heat it's Evan's mum, Thea,

0:21:490:21:51

against Kyra's mum, Margaret.

0:21:510:21:53

How do you think your mum's going to do?

0:21:530:21:55

I think my mum's going to do very well.

0:21:550:21:56

-Evan, do you think your mum can do it for you?

-No.

0:21:560:21:59

No! There's a whole heap of negativity there.

0:21:590:22:01

I'm going to banish that,

0:22:010:22:02

and I want you to say something positive for your mum. Go.

0:22:020:22:05

She looks nice in a wig.

0:22:050:22:07

Mums, are you ready?

0:22:070:22:09

Three, two, one...

0:22:110:22:13

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Go!

0:22:130:22:15

And they are off to a good start.

0:22:150:22:17

OK, yes.

0:22:170:22:18

Ah! Yes! And one mum's over!

0:22:180:22:22

Yes!

0:22:220:22:24

The last zone.

0:22:240:22:25

OK.

0:22:250:22:26

OK, Margaret's over!

0:22:260:22:29

Yes! Thea's going.

0:22:290:22:31

Yes! Give me a high-five.

0:22:310:22:32

I feel bad now, I said my mum was going to lose.

0:22:320:22:35

You said bad stuff about your mum.

0:22:350:22:36

OK, your mum is going to need some consoling from you.

0:22:360:22:38

-Do you think she did her best?

-No.

0:22:380:22:40

With a time of 19 seconds, Thea wins the first heat,

0:22:420:22:46

but will it be fast enough for a spot in the final?

0:22:460:22:49

Next up it's Kellimarie's mum, Debbie,

0:22:490:22:52

and Brook's mum, Sharon.

0:22:520:22:53

Three, two, one...

0:22:530:22:56

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Go!

0:22:560:22:58

And they're off.

0:22:580:22:59

Oh, they're off to a good start.

0:22:590:23:01

They're through the first water zone.

0:23:010:23:03

CHEERING

0:23:030:23:04

-It's important they cross there in the crossroads.

-Come on!

-Oh, yes.

0:23:040:23:07

It's a bit like a catwalk.

0:23:070:23:09

Oh, yes.

0:23:090:23:11

OK, yes.

0:23:110:23:13

Yes, Sharon got there first, Sharon wins.

0:23:130:23:16

Hit me up top.

0:23:160:23:18

Pow!

0:23:180:23:19

Sharon wins with a time of 20 seconds.

0:23:190:23:22

Remember, only the two fastest mums will make the final.

0:23:220:23:25

Which means it's all down to the third heat.

0:23:270:23:29

Erin's mum, Julia, versus Ellie's mum, Lou.

0:23:290:23:33

Three, two, one...

0:23:330:23:36

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Go, Mum!

-And they're off!

0:23:360:23:39

-Come on, mums.

-Oh, no!

0:23:390:23:41

-Oh! They're both over!

-Come on, Mum!

0:23:410:23:44

The crossroads is the most important bit.

0:23:440:23:47

Go, go, go.

0:23:470:23:48

-Can she make up the ground?

-No.

0:23:480:23:51

No, she can't.

0:23:510:23:53

Oh, she's over.

0:23:530:23:54

And she's into the end zone. Well done.

0:23:540:23:57

Erin, well done, your mum won the race.

0:23:570:23:59

After taking an epic fall, Julia races to victory.

0:23:590:24:04

But with a time of 21 seconds,

0:24:050:24:07

she misses out on a final spot.

0:24:070:24:09

Which means Thea and Sharon face off for that place in the sing-off.

0:24:100:24:15

Mums, are you ready?

0:24:150:24:16

Three, two, one...

0:24:170:24:20

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Thea is off to a good start.

0:24:200:24:23

It's so difficult in the water.

0:24:230:24:24

Slowly but quickly.

0:24:240:24:26

Come on. Get up to the end.

0:24:260:24:28

-Go, Mum!

-Go on, Sharon!

0:24:280:24:29

Oh, yes, getting caught up by Thea.

0:24:290:24:31

-Mum, go!

-Oh, it's a dead heat!

0:24:310:24:34

Oh!

0:24:340:24:35

Come on, you're almost there. Come on!

0:24:350:24:38

-Yay!

-APPLAUSE

0:24:380:24:41

Sharon's done it for Brook,

0:24:410:24:43

but there are mixed feelings about the result.

0:24:430:24:45

Obviously I'm a bit disappointed that my mum didn't win

0:24:450:24:47

the challenge, but I'm very proud of her.

0:24:470:24:49

It was good today, but I felt a lot of pressure for Evan

0:24:490:24:51

cos he absolutely loves Adele

0:24:510:24:52

and this is a song that he really wanted to sing

0:24:520:24:55

and then Brook, obviously, wasn't that fussed.

0:24:550:24:57

Mum's just won the challenge.

0:24:570:24:58

I didn't really want her to win it.

0:24:580:25:00

Brooke didn't really want us to win cos he hadn't practised last night.

0:25:000:25:03

It's an Adele song, but I'm not really comfortable with that.

0:25:030:25:05

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

0:25:050:25:08

So, it's a reluctant Brook that will be joining Jorja and Luka

0:25:120:25:16

in the first end-of-show sing-off in front of the mums.

0:25:160:25:19

They will each be performing their own version

0:25:190:25:21

of When We Were Young by Adele.

0:25:210:25:23

Singing Adele for the first song is very, very big,

0:25:240:25:27

and they've kind of been chucked in at the deep end with this song.

0:25:270:25:30

Before they take to the stage,

0:25:300:25:32

musical director David Tench will be helping them

0:25:320:25:35

fine-tune their performances.

0:25:350:25:38

You weren't so sure about the song, were you?

0:25:380:25:40

No, not really. It's not that I'm not into the song,

0:25:400:25:42

it's just that I'm not familiar with it.

0:25:420:25:44

OK. So, let's give it a blast.

0:25:440:25:47

# Everybody here is watching you

0:25:470:25:51

-# Cos you feel like...

-like home

0:25:510:25:55

-# You're like a...

-come true... #

0:25:550:25:57

Keep going. Keep going.

0:25:570:25:59

So, I know there's been a little bit of drama in the Music Mansion today.

0:25:590:26:03

Sharon won the Mum's Challenge,

0:26:030:26:05

but Brook really doesn't want to sing the song,

0:26:050:26:07

but he's in with David now, so fingers crossed.

0:26:070:26:09

14-year-old Brooke

0:26:130:26:14

is a self-taught musician

0:26:140:26:15

from Newcastle.

0:26:150:26:17

# When your legs don't work like they used to before. #

0:26:170:26:21

I didn't really have singing lessons or guitar lessons.

0:26:210:26:23

I just teach myself off the internet.

0:26:230:26:25

# And I can't sweep you off of your feet. #

0:26:250:26:28

He would love to follow in the footsteps of his idol.

0:26:280:26:32

My biggest inspiration is Ed Sheeran

0:26:320:26:34

because he writes songs and he plays guitar.

0:26:340:26:39

At the auditions he put on

0:26:390:26:40

a standout performance

0:26:400:26:41

of Thinking Out Loud.

0:26:410:26:42

# People fall in love in mysterious ways. #

0:26:420:26:49

But this laid-back singer does have one weakness.

0:26:490:26:53

The thing I would like to work on

0:26:530:26:54

is getting better without using my guitar.

0:26:540:26:58

# You look like a movie

0:26:580:27:02

# You sound like a song... #

0:27:020:27:04

He's got such a unique approach to music and singing.

0:27:040:27:08

He sounds like himself on whatever he does.

0:27:080:27:11

# Let me photograph you in this light

0:27:110:27:14

-Breath.

-# Until... #

0:27:140:27:15

-Oh.

-In case it is the last time.

0:27:150:27:18

However, Brook is very nervous about going into the sing-off.

0:27:180:27:21

I think you should read them.

0:27:210:27:22

-All right, OK. Yeah.

-DAVID LAUGHS

0:27:220:27:25

-Shall we dive straight in?

-Yes.

0:27:250:27:26

I've been practising, but I don't think the lyrics are there yet.

0:27:260:27:30

I know most of them, but it's still a bit sketchy.

0:27:300:27:33

OK, let's go.

0:27:330:27:34

# Let me photograph you in this light

0:27:340:27:38

# In case this is the last time

0:27:380:27:41

# That we...urgh. #

0:27:410:27:43

-"That we might."

-Might, that's the word.

0:27:430:27:45

"In case this is the last time..."

0:27:450:27:47

It's really awkward when a singer freezes

0:27:470:27:49

and then doesn't know the lyrics, but he's so close.

0:27:490:27:52

It's tricky, so I think you should keep rehearsing without the paper.

0:27:520:27:56

The technical part of it, which is hitting that high note,

0:27:560:27:59

-I think you should try and get that note into your performance.

-Yeah.

0:27:590:28:03

-# My gosh, this reminds me

-And build.

0:28:030:28:07

# Of when we were young

0:28:070:28:15

-# This is the last... #

-SHE LAUGHS

0:28:150:28:17

-That's beautiful. Did that feel good?

-Yeah.

0:28:170:28:19

It's like you've grabbed the audience's attention

0:28:190:28:22

with the high note and you are keeping hold of it.

0:28:220:28:24

So I think we should do the whole thing one more time,

0:28:240:28:27

but if you've got anything else that you want to say, please do.

0:28:270:28:30

She sings fantastically well.

0:28:300:28:33

I mean, she sounds beautiful,

0:28:330:28:35

and yet her focus is not quite in it.

0:28:350:28:38

You sound beautiful,

0:28:380:28:39

but I want to know what you're thinking about, you know?

0:28:390:28:42

Because I don't want to mess up.

0:28:420:28:43

I just feel like maybe there's something on Jorja's mind.

0:28:430:28:47

I think there's a lot of pressure on me because it is my song,

0:28:470:28:50

but also I find it hard singing in front of my mum because she is...

0:28:500:28:54

I don't know how to say it.

0:28:550:28:57

Like, she's my mum, so her opinion, to me, is most important,

0:28:570:29:01

so obviously she's the one I want to make proud.

0:29:010:29:04

Each sing-off the mums are the judges

0:29:080:29:10

and will vote to decide which performer is the winner.

0:29:100:29:14

The person with the most sing-off wins

0:29:140:29:16

after eight episodes

0:29:160:29:17

will automatically qualify

0:29:170:29:19

for the grand final in show ten.

0:29:190:29:21

Welcome to our very first sing-off, mums.

0:29:210:29:24

It is a super tricky song today.

0:29:240:29:26

Let's get cracking.

0:29:260:29:27

Up first is Jorja.

0:29:270:29:29

APPLAUSE

0:29:290:29:30

This is one of Jorja's favourite songs,

0:29:300:29:32

but will the pressure of singing in front of her mum get to her?

0:29:320:29:36

# You look like a movie

0:29:380:29:40

# You sound like a song

0:29:410:29:45

# My gosh, this reminds me

0:29:450:29:49

# Of when we were young

0:29:490:29:56

# In case it is the last time

0:29:560:30:00

# That we might be exactly like we were

0:30:000:30:05

# Before we realised

0:30:050:30:07

# We were sad of getting old

0:30:070:30:11

# It made us restless

0:30:110:30:14

# When we were young. #

0:30:140:30:18

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:30:190:30:22

Jorja, that was absolutely amazing.

0:30:240:30:26

It was your choice of song, so how do you think it went?

0:30:260:30:29

I'm happy with my performance.

0:30:290:30:31

Good. Let's go over to the mums.

0:30:310:30:32

I'm really proud, it was fantastic.

0:30:320:30:34

I'm shaking so much, and I'm a bit overwhelmed.

0:30:340:30:38

I'm really happy.

0:30:380:30:40

Give it up for Jorja.

0:30:400:30:41

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:30:410:30:43

The high note in the middle, she nearly didn't do it,

0:30:430:30:46

but I encouraged her to give it a go, and it just really paid off.

0:30:460:30:51

I didn't look at my mum.

0:30:510:30:52

I looked at my mum at the end, and she was smiling,

0:30:520:30:55

I could see she was shaking.

0:30:550:30:56

Next up, welcome Luca.

0:30:560:30:58

APPLAUSE

0:30:580:31:00

In rehearsals, Luca struggled to remember the lyrics.

0:31:000:31:03

Will he be able to up his game in front of the mums?

0:31:030:31:06

# You look like a movie

0:31:080:31:11

# You sound like song

0:31:110:31:15

# My gosh, this reminds me

0:31:150:31:18

# Of when we were young

0:31:180:31:22

# Let me photograph you in this light

0:31:220:31:26

# Unl...this is the last time

0:31:260:31:29

# That we might be exactly like we were

0:31:290:31:34

# Before we realised

0:31:340:31:36

# We were sad of getting old

0:31:360:31:39

# It made us restless

0:31:390:31:41

# When we were young. #

0:31:430:31:46

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:460:31:50

Luca, well done, that was really, really good.

0:31:530:31:55

-Thank you.

-How do you fell it went?

0:31:550:31:56

I think that went well,

0:31:560:31:58

apart from that little slip-up in the middle.

0:31:580:32:00

-Oh, no-one noticed, don't worry.

-OK.

0:32:000:32:02

Let's go over to the mums.

0:32:020:32:03

It was very good, Luca.

0:32:030:32:05

-Sorry.

-Thank you.

0:32:060:32:08

Super good.

0:32:110:32:12

-Thank you, Luca. Well done.

-Thank you.

0:32:120:32:15

APPLAUSE

0:32:150:32:16

My mum, she was crying, that was nice,

0:32:160:32:19

but a bit embarrassing, but you know...

0:32:190:32:22

Luca's performance was fantastic.

0:32:220:32:24

He stumbled a little bit, but he covered it so well,

0:32:240:32:27

and that's so important in performance, to just keep going.

0:32:270:32:30

And last up, he might be slightly reluctant to be here doing Adele,

0:32:300:32:34

but I'm sure he'll smash it, it's Brook.

0:32:340:32:37

APPLAUSE

0:32:370:32:38

Singing Adele is completely out of Brook's comfort zone.

0:32:380:32:41

And to help, he's decided to bring the lyrics in with him.

0:32:410:32:45

# You look like a movie

0:32:480:32:52

# You sound like a song

0:32:520:32:55

# My God, this reminds me

0:32:550:32:58

# Of when we were young

0:32:580:33:02

# Let me photograph you in this light

0:33:020:33:06

# In case it is the last time

0:33:060:33:09

# That we might be exactly like we were

0:33:090:33:14

# Before we realised

0:33:140:33:16

# We were sad of getting old

0:33:160:33:19

# It made us restless

0:33:190:33:23

# When we were young. #

0:33:230:33:26

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:33:260:33:28

-Well done, Brook.

-Thank you.

-That was so, so great.

0:33:340:33:37

-How do you think it went?

-It went well, I think.

0:33:370:33:40

Good, I'm glad you liked it.

0:33:400:33:42

So, Sharon,

0:33:420:33:44

I know that he didn't really want you to get him up on stage today,

0:33:440:33:47

but how do you think it went?

0:33:470:33:48

I think, considering it was an Adele song, and it's for a girl,

0:33:480:33:51

I think he did fantastic.

0:33:510:33:53

-Thank you, Brook, you did amazingly, well done.

-Thank you.

0:33:530:33:56

APPLAUSE

0:33:560:33:58

He somehow found a way of turning it into a Brook sound.

0:33:580:34:02

Unfortunately, he didn't trust himself to know the lyrics.

0:34:020:34:06

So he was looking down for his performance.

0:34:060:34:08

Well, I've just come out of the sing-off,

0:34:080:34:10

and I think it went really, really well, and I'm happy.

0:34:100:34:13

So, this is it, it's crunch time.

0:34:130:34:15

Please start voting.

0:34:150:34:17

The mums must now decide which performance

0:34:170:34:19

they believe deserves to win the first sing-off.

0:34:190:34:22

Taking them one step closer to that automatic spot in the final.

0:34:220:34:25

Unbelievable.

0:34:250:34:26

I mean, first sing-off, and the standard is so high.

0:34:260:34:31

And the winner is...

0:34:310:34:33

..Jorja. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:390:34:42

I won! Yay!

0:34:420:34:44

It was fantastic. I was really moved.

0:34:450:34:48

I think the thing that won it for her was that middle note.

0:34:480:34:51

It's exactly what Adele does, and it's extremely hard,

0:34:510:34:55

and she absolutely nailed it.

0:34:550:34:56

It's going to be very interesting now to see what happens next.

0:34:560:35:00

All the other singers that didn't get into this sing-off

0:35:000:35:03

have so much to offer.

0:35:030:35:04

I can't wait.

0:35:040:35:06

Maybe it was the lucky headband that I'm wearing,

0:35:060:35:07

that you don't like.

0:35:070:35:09

I don't like it.

0:35:090:35:10

-It just looks so bad!

-No, it doesn't!

0:35:100:35:14

Next time on Got What It Takes?

0:35:140:35:16

Love Yourself, by Justin Bieber.

0:35:160:35:18

Are you ready to dive into this song?

0:35:180:35:20

-I've just got a really sore throat.

-It's quite boring.

0:35:200:35:22

I don't think she wants to do it.

0:35:220:35:24

I'm literally really nervous. I'm about to meet Grimmy.

0:35:240:35:26

Have you ever, like, lied to your mum?

0:35:260:35:28

-Yes.

-Erm...

0:35:280:35:29

SHE SCREAMS

0:35:290:35:31

I'm in big trouble!

0:35:330:35:35

Next time.

0:35:350:35:36

I'm not very happy.

0:35:360:35:39

-ALL:

-# It was just like a movie

0:35:390:35:42

# It was just like a song

0:35:420:35:46

# When we were young. #

0:35:460:35:50

Yeah! That's really impressive for a start. I'm really impressed.
