Last time... The singers strutted their stuff on the catwalk...

0:00:020:00:04

That is different. Nobody else is going to wear a hat, are they?

0:00:040:00:07

-We're trying to find our vibe.

-This is actually really difficult.

0:00:070:00:10

..the mums had an art attack...

0:00:100:00:12

-Is it better than you thought?

-No.

0:00:120:00:14

Is there anything alike?

0:00:140:00:17

..and in the fifth sing-off, Annie took her second win.

0:00:170:00:20

Well done, Annie!

0:00:200:00:23

Today...

0:00:230:00:25

..Union J are the house...

0:00:250:00:27

THEY CHEER

0:00:270:00:29

Being in the music industry can be a really short-lived thing.

0:00:290:00:31

..the singers find it hard to harmonise.

0:00:310:00:34

No, you're in the wrong key.

0:00:340:00:35

What on earth is this?

0:00:350:00:36

-It's going to be really difficult.

-I don't know what to do.

0:00:360:00:39

-Definitely not my favourite challenge.

-No.

0:00:390:00:42

..and the mums make a big splash.

0:00:420:00:45

Oh, that was high!

0:00:450:00:46

Aggh!

0:00:460:00:48

Oh!

0:00:480:00:49

Agggh!

0:00:520:00:53

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

0:00:540:00:57

# I got, got got what it takes now

0:00:570:01:00

# They're gonna hear me gonna make them see

0:01:000:01:02

# I got, got got what it takes now

0:01:020:01:06

# Oh, oh

0:01:060:01:08

# I got, got got what it takes now

0:01:080:01:11

# Oh, oh

0:01:110:01:13

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

0:01:130:01:16

It's another day at the Music Mansion.

0:01:190:01:22

-Morning, guys. ALL:

-Morning.

0:01:220:01:23

So things are getting very serious now.

0:01:230:01:25

There's only three sing-offs left.

0:01:250:01:27

Is there any of you who feel like you can put the pressure on Annie

0:01:270:01:30

-and take the next win?

-Me!

0:01:300:01:32

THEY LAUGH

0:01:320:01:34

-So, are you guys ready to find out your next song? ALL:

-Yeah!

0:01:340:01:37

Let's go.

0:01:370:01:39

If Annie wins the next sing-off, she will be ahead with three points.

0:01:390:01:42

I think the others have got to be really, really careful

0:01:420:01:44

and they've really got to up their game.

0:01:440:01:47

Each episode, three of the kids get to perform the song

0:01:470:01:50

in an end-of-show sing-off.

0:01:500:01:53

Those places can be won in a series of challenges.

0:01:530:01:56

But first, our musical director, David Tench, will be teaching

0:01:560:02:00

the whole group the new song.

0:02:000:02:02

So, David, how do you feel about this song?

0:02:020:02:05

It's quite simple, so I don't think it poses much of a challenge.

0:02:050:02:07

It's just whether they can connect to this lyric, and I think they can.

0:02:070:02:10

I think, at some point, all kids have felt this

0:02:100:02:13

in their lives for whatever reason.

0:02:130:02:15

I think that really what they've got to do is just make it their own.

0:02:150:02:17

-Shall we get them in?

-Yeah, let's go.

0:02:170:02:20

-Hello, guys. ALL:

-Hi!

0:02:200:02:22

-Are you excited to find out your next song? ALL:

-Yes.

0:02:220:02:25

Today's song is going to be...

0:02:250:02:27

..Drag Me Down by One Direction.

0:02:320:02:35

I'm really happy it's my song.

0:02:350:02:36

# I've got fire for a heart

0:02:360:02:38

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:02:380:02:40

# You've never seen it look so easy. #

0:02:400:02:43

This chart-topping track was the fourth number one single

0:02:430:02:46

for boyband One Direction back in 2015,

0:02:460:02:49

and their first since the departure of fellow band-mate Zayn Malik.

0:02:490:02:53

So, Rio, this is the song that you chose.

0:02:530:02:55

Why did you pick this song?

0:02:550:02:57

Because it doesn't strike me as a very Rio song.

0:02:570:02:59

No, it's something different and out of my comfort zone.

0:02:590:03:02

I wanted to try and, like, push myself to different kind of styles.

0:03:020:03:06

-Would you like to hear Lauren sing the song?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

0:03:060:03:09

# I've got a fire for a heart

0:03:090:03:11

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:03:110:03:13

# You've never seen it look so easy. #

0:03:130:03:16

I absolutely love this song.

0:03:160:03:17

It really suits my voice and I can play the guitar

0:03:170:03:19

and I can just jam it.

0:03:190:03:21

# The shell of a man who could never be his best. #

0:03:210:03:24

I don't know if it will be a song that I can win with.

0:03:240:03:28

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:03:280:03:30

I wouldn't think of it to sing, like a One Direction song.

0:03:300:03:33

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:03:330:03:36

Thank you, guys. Good luck.

0:03:370:03:40

-Work hard and I'll see you later. ALL:

-Bye!

0:03:400:03:43

As always, the singers will be tackling the new track with

0:03:430:03:46

our musical director, David Tench.

0:03:460:03:48

OK, One Direction, Drag Me Down.

0:03:480:03:50

Take one, pass it on, please.

0:03:500:03:53

And taking on a boyband song is a very different vocal challenge.

0:03:530:03:56

We have a One Direction song this time.

0:03:560:03:58

And they can be a bit tricky sometimes because there's so much

0:03:580:04:01

energy and excitement on those records.

0:04:010:04:03

-OK, Rio, this is your song choice.

-Yeah.

-Right, here we go.

0:04:030:04:06

# I've got a fire for a heart. #

0:04:060:04:09

I was surprised when I found out this was Rio's song.

0:04:090:04:11

This is not normally her style, this kind of thing.

0:04:110:04:13

# When no-one else was ever behind me. #

0:04:130:04:17

I'm really nervous because I want to

0:04:170:04:22

set the bar high with my song.

0:04:220:04:24

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:04:240:04:27

Yeah! Wicked!

0:04:270:04:29

Fantastic. That was really great, Rio. I think that'll be cool.

0:04:290:04:32

Do you think it could be the song to put you in front

0:04:320:04:35

of the current leader?

0:04:350:04:37

Possibly could, but it just depends on how well

0:04:370:04:39

these guys sing it also.

0:04:390:04:41

14-year-old Rio from Hull is a rising star

0:04:410:04:44

with an unforgettable voice.

0:04:440:04:46

I think I do have a unique sound.

0:04:460:04:48

# If these wings could fly. #

0:04:480:04:51

I don't sound the same as everybody else.

0:04:510:04:54

# So rockabye, baby. #

0:04:540:04:55

She's already been in three sing-offs...

0:04:550:04:57

# Tell her to speak up and tell her to shout out. #

0:04:570:05:00

..and won one. Rio.

0:05:000:05:02

Everything was perfect.

0:05:020:05:04

But she's struggled with her confidence every step of the way.

0:05:040:05:08

-What's the matter with you?

-I'm just nervous.

-Why?!

0:05:080:05:11

It's almost as though Rio doesn't quite believe

0:05:110:05:13

in her own abilities.

0:05:130:05:15

And being one of the frontrunners isn't helping with her nerves.

0:05:150:05:17

Anybody could win at the minute.

0:05:170:05:19

The suspense is just, like, killing me.

0:05:190:05:22

Like, I just want to know who's won.

0:05:220:05:23

Back at the piano, one of Rio's biggest rivals

0:05:250:05:27

is about to take on her song.

0:05:270:05:29

Two sing-off winner Annie.

0:05:290:05:31

How are you feeling at this stage of the competition?

0:05:310:05:33

It's getting a bit scary.

0:05:330:05:35

But I like this song, I'm liking the sound of it.

0:05:350:05:38

-So I'm really excited to give it a go.

-Here we go.

0:05:380:05:41

# I've got a fire for a heart

0:05:410:05:43

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:05:430:05:45

# You've never seen it look so easy. #

0:05:450:05:48

Annie is in the lead and she's gaining more confidence

0:05:480:05:51

all the time.

0:05:510:05:52

She's the one to watch.

0:05:520:05:54

# When no-one else was ever behind me. #

0:05:540:05:56

I think she's going to be the hardest to beat, 100%.

0:05:560:05:59

So, yeah... I don't know what to say.

0:05:590:06:02

And Annie isn't the only one that's feeling confident with the track.

0:06:020:06:05

# All my life you stood by me. #

0:06:050:06:09

We started in the lesson with Rio singing her song

0:06:090:06:11

and then as she listened to everyone else,

0:06:110:06:14

I could see in her eyes she was getting more and more worried.

0:06:140:06:17

# I've got a fire for a heart

0:06:170:06:19

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:06:190:06:20

# You've never seen it look so easy. #

0:06:200:06:23

She wasn't expecting other people to come to grips with it so quickly.

0:06:230:06:27

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:06:270:06:30

Yeah!

0:06:300:06:32

Well done.

0:06:320:06:33

Rio, you've heard everyone else sing your song now

0:06:330:06:36

and you look a bit worried. What are you thinking?

0:06:360:06:39

I'm still really, really panicking.

0:06:390:06:41

I just think I could have chosen a better song,

0:06:410:06:44

now listening to everybody else, because they're all good!

0:06:440:06:46

I'm kind of freaking out

0:06:460:06:48

just a little.

0:06:480:06:49

There is time, and if you make it to the sing-off,

0:06:490:06:52

then we can try and bring out more of what you're going to be doing.

0:06:520:06:56

I love working with you guys. Thank you so much. Well done.

0:06:560:06:59

-Thank you, David.

-You too.

0:06:590:07:02

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

0:07:030:07:05

Hey, I'm Emeli Sande

0:07:080:07:10

and you're watching Got What It Takes?

0:07:100:07:12

Always make sure that you're pushing yourself artistically

0:07:120:07:14

and that you're pushing yourself in a place where you really can

0:07:140:07:17

be honest with others, and that you can help inspire them.

0:07:170:07:20

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

0:07:230:07:26

They can only be won in a music industry challenge.

0:07:260:07:30

And it's time to find out exactly what that will be.

0:07:300:07:33

What do Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Harry Styles

0:07:330:07:36

all have in common?

0:07:360:07:37

They earned their fame in groups before finding solo stardom.

0:07:370:07:41

And if you want to be a successful group,

0:07:410:07:43

your voices have got to sound good together.

0:07:430:07:45

SHE SINGS IN HARMONY

0:07:450:07:49

Oh, my God, yes!

0:07:490:07:50

So today's challenge is all about harmonising,

0:07:500:07:52

and you'll be learning from a British boyband

0:07:520:07:54

who have that down to a fine art.

0:07:540:07:56

# It'll carry you

0:07:560:07:58

# I'll carry you

0:07:580:08:00

# I'll carry you. #

0:08:000:08:02

Oh, I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!

0:08:020:08:05

Judging today's challenge

0:08:050:08:07

are Union J,

0:08:070:08:08

a boyband known for their slick harmonies.

0:08:080:08:12

Jaymi, JJ and Josh shot to fame after appearing on The X Factor

0:08:120:08:16

and have since gone on to have four UK top ten hits.

0:08:160:08:20

-ALL:

-Hi!

-How are you doing?

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

0:08:200:08:23

Before we get to the challenge, have you guys got any questions

0:08:230:08:26

about what it's like to be an artist in the music industry?

0:08:260:08:29

What's it like to live with the boys all of the time?

0:08:290:08:32

-Obviously we argue sometimes, but it's like brothers...

-All the time.

0:08:320:08:35

-No, I'm joking!

-We're all messy.

0:08:350:08:37

I mean, you guys live together so I'm sure you know

0:08:370:08:39

who's the messiest.

0:08:390:08:41

I'm not!

0:08:410:08:42

Have you got a top tip for us making it into the industry?

0:08:420:08:46

It's really important to stay grounded and to spend as much

0:08:460:08:49

time with your loved ones, because being in the music industry

0:08:490:08:51

could be a really short-lived thing.

0:08:510:08:53

Yeah, stay with your friends and keep in touch with them

0:08:530:08:55

and make sure you see them whenever you can.

0:08:550:08:58

Carry You was Union J's debut single that showcased

0:08:580:09:01

their harmonising skills.

0:09:010:09:03

# And when the vision you have gets blurry

0:09:030:09:06

# You don't have to worry. #

0:09:060:09:09

Harmonies are difficult.

0:09:090:09:11

# I'll carry you

0:09:110:09:13

I'll carry you. #

0:09:130:09:15

The key thing is making sure that you're listening to each other.

0:09:150:09:18

# I'll carry you. #

0:09:180:09:22

Performance over, it's time to set the challenge.

0:09:250:09:28

Right, guys, now on to the important part - the challenge.

0:09:280:09:31

You guys have one hour to put your own spin on a classic song,

0:09:310:09:34

rehearse it, work out the harmonies and get it ready

0:09:340:09:37

to perform in front of me and the boys.

0:09:370:09:39

In this week's industry challenge, the singers have been split

0:09:410:09:43

into pairs and they have each been given a different chart-topping

0:09:430:09:47

song that they have to try and harmonise to.

0:09:470:09:49

But there's a twist...

0:09:490:09:50

The songs are quite classic songs and maybe some of the guys don't

0:09:500:09:53

know the songs or maybe weren't even born when the songs were out.

0:09:530:09:56

First to find out their song, it's Shaun and Rio.

0:09:560:09:59

-Call Me Maybe.

-Are you serious?!

0:09:590:10:01

-I mean...

-How are we going to work with that?!

0:10:010:10:04

# And this is crazy

0:10:040:10:06

# But here's my number

0:10:060:10:08

# So call me maybe. #

0:10:080:10:09

No, can we change it?

0:10:090:10:10

# I just met you. #

0:10:100:10:12

-We can work around this.

-Come on.

0:10:120:10:14

We can work round this.

0:10:140:10:15

Next, it's Emilly and Jeremiah.

0:10:150:10:18

Yes! Get in!

0:10:180:10:20

-Yes!

-I'm OK with this.

-I'm happy with that!

0:10:200:10:23

# You can stand under my umbrella

0:10:230:10:24

# Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh. #

0:10:240:10:27

It is exactly what we wanted as well.

0:10:270:10:29

Next, it's Annie and Jada.

0:10:290:10:31

-I hope it's something that we know.

-Yeah, that would be good.

0:10:310:10:33

Otherwise, I just don't know what we're going to do.

0:10:330:10:37

What on earth is this?!

0:10:370:10:39

# Mmmbop, ba duba dop

0:10:390:10:41

# Ba du bop ba duba dop

0:10:410:10:43

# Ba du bop

0:10:430:10:45

# Ba duba dop ba du. #

0:10:450:10:47

I don't think anyone knows what this is!

0:10:470:10:49

And finally, it's Henry and Nataya.

0:10:520:10:54

-Shall we look?

-Yeah.

0:10:540:10:56

-"Oops I..."

-Oh!

0:10:560:10:59

# Oops I did it again

0:10:590:11:02

# I played with your heart. #

0:11:020:11:05

-It's not really a Nataya and Henry song, is it?

-No, it's not, no.

0:11:050:11:07

-It's not.

-We'll have to put our own spin on it or something.

0:11:070:11:10

SHE SQUEALS

0:11:100:11:12

Hmm.

0:11:120:11:13

Each pair has just one hour to learn the song

0:11:140:11:16

and work out the harmonies...

0:11:160:11:17

# And this is cra... #

0:11:170:11:19

No, you're in the wrong key.

0:11:190:11:20

..before they have to perform in front of Union J.

0:11:200:11:24

# Eh, eh. #

0:11:240:11:25

That was very good.

0:11:250:11:27

# Mmmbop. #

0:11:270:11:29

-What is this? What have we...?

-No.

0:11:290:11:31

# I'm not that innocent. #

0:11:310:11:34

# I hate this song so much. #

0:11:340:11:36

# And this is crazy. #

0:11:370:11:39

Why can you not get that?!

0:11:390:11:41

Harmonising can go terribly wrong.

0:11:410:11:43

If you're not good at it, it can sound awful.

0:11:430:11:45

He's getting it wrong, it's stressing me out!

0:11:450:11:48

Oh, I actually don't know how we're going to do this.

0:11:480:11:50

But it's not long before a couple of the pairs start to gel.

0:11:520:11:56

# So call me maybe. #

0:11:560:11:58

OK... OK, we're getting somewhere. Right, three...

0:11:580:12:00

I'm really excited.

0:12:000:12:01

# You can stand under my umbrella

0:12:010:12:03

# Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh. #

0:12:030:12:06

I think you need to either work out whether you come up,

0:12:060:12:08

or whether you come down a little bit to blend,

0:12:080:12:10

do you know what I mean? So you need to be singing at the same level

0:12:100:12:12

but the harmony can't overpower.

0:12:120:12:14

But for the other two teams, things aren't going so well.

0:12:140:12:18

-I don't know what we're going to do.

-No.

0:12:180:12:20

It's going to be really difficult. I don't know.

0:12:200:12:22

Maybe just forget about harmonies.

0:12:220:12:23

I don't know how we're going to learn it and do harmonies.

0:12:230:12:26

-The challenge is harmonies, though.

-I know!

0:12:260:12:28

I don't know what to do.

0:12:280:12:30

-Definitely not my favourite challenge.

-No.

-By no means.

0:12:300:12:33

It's got all these weird made-up words that are in no order

0:12:330:12:37

whatsoever that we have to learn.

0:12:370:12:40

-I don't think we're going to win this one, Jada.

-No.

0:12:400:12:43

We pretty much spent the first half hour learning the words

0:12:430:12:46

because we just had no idea.

0:12:460:12:48

But luckily, the Union J boys are on hand with a bit of advice.

0:12:480:12:52

The best advice I can give you is slow it down

0:12:520:12:54

and then obviously work...

0:12:540:12:55

-It's not an easy song, I'll be totally honest.

-Yeah.

0:12:550:12:58

-You don't need to harmonise all the way through it.

-OK.

0:12:580:13:00

Just little bits.

0:13:000:13:01

You know, most of the songs that we had to sing on X Factor,

0:13:010:13:04

I didn't like personally.

0:13:040:13:06

If you don't like it, don't like it, but make sure you don't let

0:13:060:13:08

us feel that in your performance.

0:13:080:13:10

Just pretend it's your favourite song in the world and you sing

0:13:100:13:12

it every night before you go to bed.

0:13:120:13:15

Time's up.

0:13:150:13:16

Two places in the sing-off are up to grabs for the pair

0:13:160:13:18

that can impress the Union J boys with their harmonies.

0:13:180:13:21

The pressure's been on.

0:13:220:13:23

I know a few of them haven't enjoyed the song choice.

0:13:230:13:26

We may see a couple of hiccups along the way today.

0:13:260:13:30

First up, it's Henry and Nataya with their version of

0:13:300:13:33

Oops!... I Did It Again.

0:13:330:13:34

-We're first.

-Yes, which is great!

0:13:340:13:37

-Which is great!

-The best position!

-Yes!

0:13:370:13:39

Good luck. Enjoy it.

0:13:410:13:43

# I think I did it again

0:13:430:13:46

# I made you believe

0:13:460:13:48

# We're more than just friends. #

0:13:480:13:51

It was really difficult

0:13:510:13:53

and, yeah, it wasn't the most fun of challenges.

0:13:530:13:55

# Oops, you think I'm in love

0:13:550:13:58

# That I'm sent from above

0:13:580:14:02

# I'm not that innocent. #

0:14:020:14:04

-Thank you.

-Very good, well done.

0:14:060:14:08

-It went OK.

-Yeah, it could have gone better, but...

0:14:080:14:11

Second to perform, it's Annie and Jada who are taking on Mmmbop.

0:14:110:14:15

-You've got this.

-Let's do it.

0:14:150:14:17

# Hey, hey

0:14:170:14:18

# Mmmbop, ba duba dop

0:14:180:14:20

# Ba du bop, ba duba dop

0:14:200:14:22

# Ba du bop, ba duba dop

0:14:220:14:24

# Ba du. #

0:14:240:14:25

-I think we tried our best to harmonise as well as we could.

-Yeah.

0:14:250:14:28

# Ba du bop, ba duba dop

0:14:280:14:30

# Ba du, yeah, yeah. #

0:14:300:14:33

Well done.

0:14:360:14:38

I think it went better than I expected.

0:14:380:14:41

Emilly and Jeremiah are third up with their cover of Umbrella.

0:14:410:14:44

Right, take it away.

0:14:440:14:46

# Baby, cos in the dark

0:14:460:14:48

# You can't see shiny cars

0:14:480:14:50

# And that's when you need me there

0:14:500:14:52

# With you I'll always share. #

0:14:520:14:55

Yeah, it was really fun because we're really close,

0:14:550:14:57

like best friends, so we just get each other.

0:14:570:15:00

Yeah, we bounced off each other.

0:15:000:15:02

# Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh

0:15:020:15:05

# Under my umbrella. #

0:15:050:15:07

-I think it went really well.

-Yeah, I think it was really good.

0:15:100:15:12

-I could see lots of smiles on their faces.

-Yeah.

0:15:120:15:15

And, finally, it's Rio and Shaun with Call Me Maybe.

0:15:150:15:17

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Here we go.

0:15:170:15:19

-# Hey, I just met you

-Met you

0:15:190:15:22

# And this is crazy

0:15:220:15:24

# But here's my number so call me maybe. #

0:15:240:15:27

-I still don't like the song, I'm not going to lie.

-No.

0:15:270:15:29

-I still don't like it.

-We tried our hardest... We did.

0:15:290:15:32

We made it our own.

0:15:320:15:33

# But here's my number

0:15:330:15:35

# So call me

0:15:350:15:37

# Maybe. #

0:15:370:15:42

-Thank you.

-Good job.

0:15:450:15:47

One or two times when you covered for me.

0:15:470:15:48

We covered that up, it's fine!

0:15:480:15:50

-We handled that situation.

-Yeah.

0:15:500:15:52

Performances over, it's decision time.

0:15:520:15:55

-So, that's it...

-Yes.

-..all four pairs.

0:15:550:15:57

-Very impressive.

-Very impressive.

-Very talented.

0:15:570:16:00

They're really good, aren't they?

0:16:000:16:01

The Union J boys are in there deciding who's going to win.

0:16:010:16:04

-Is anyone nervous or anything?

-I'm dreading it.

0:16:040:16:07

We agree and we think it was the best song on the day.

0:16:070:16:10

Well, let's tell them, then.

0:16:100:16:12

We have come to a decision. So the winner is...

0:16:120:16:15

..Rio and Shaun.

0:16:210:16:23

The winners stood out for me because they were clever

0:16:260:16:29

with their harmonies and that's one of the things that we said,

0:16:290:16:31

be clever, be adventurous.

0:16:310:16:33

To do what they did in an hour is really impressive.

0:16:330:16:36

-All of you, like...

-All of you did so well.

0:16:360:16:38

-Yeah, all of you.

-And it was really tough to obviously decide.

-Yeah.

0:16:380:16:42

-Yes, we've done it, we've done it!

-Whoo!

0:16:420:16:44

Give us a cuddle.

0:16:440:16:45

-So now it's the sing-off.

-I know.

-I'm against you.

-Oh, OK.

0:16:450:16:50

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

0:16:500:16:53

So it's Rio and Shaun that take the first two spots

0:16:530:16:56

in the sing-off, and Jaymi's hung about to break the news to the mums.

0:16:560:17:00

The winner of this challenge was...

0:17:000:17:02

-..Rio and Shaun.

-Yeah!

0:17:030:17:05

Rio and Shaun were spot on. Their harmonies were pitch perfect.

0:17:080:17:11

But, overall, just so proud of all the guys.

0:17:110:17:13

I think they really stepped up their game.

0:17:130:17:15

It's a new day and time for the mums' next challenge.

0:17:230:17:26

With Shaun through, Shelly gets to sit this one out,

0:17:260:17:29

but Sherina has offered to step in for Natasha,

0:17:290:17:31

who was injured in the air guitar battle.

0:17:310:17:34

Hey, mums, I hope you're all excited for your next challenge.

0:17:360:17:39

This one is so wild, I can't even explain it,

0:17:390:17:41

so I'm just going to sing.

0:17:410:17:43

# I feel it in my fingers

0:17:430:17:46

# I feel it in my toes. #

0:17:460:17:49

-Wet Wet Wet!

-Oh!

0:17:490:17:51

-We've got water.

-That means the water one.

0:17:530:17:56

We're off to our water challenge.

0:17:560:17:58

I think we're all a bit worried because we don't know

0:17:580:18:01

actually what it is.

0:18:010:18:03

We know it's something wet and cold.

0:18:030:18:05

We're hoping it's something safe.

0:18:060:18:09

Something gentle.

0:18:090:18:10

Sorry, mums, gentle is not a word I would use

0:18:100:18:13

to describe this challenge.

0:18:130:18:15

Today, you will each be taking to the water in a rubber ring

0:18:150:18:19

that's being pulled by a very fast speed boat.

0:18:190:18:22

-Oh, no!

-Look!

0:18:220:18:23

The two mums that hang on for the longest time will then

0:18:230:18:25

face off in a final showdown.

0:18:250:18:27

And making sure everything's shipshape,

0:18:290:18:31

it's our games guru Kevin Adams.

0:18:310:18:34

The mum that wins this challenge has got to want it the most, but also

0:18:340:18:37

they've got to have good upper body strength

0:18:370:18:39

because it is really gripping on!

0:18:390:18:41

Hello, mums, and welcome to challenge six

0:18:410:18:44

which is wet, wet, wet!

0:18:440:18:46

Sherina, you're standing in for Natasha.

0:18:460:18:48

How are you feeling right now?

0:18:480:18:49

I can't wait. I love it. I'm so excited!

0:18:490:18:51

So, Kelsey, tell me, how do you feel about this lake?

0:18:510:18:54

I'm nervous about the lake. I don't mind a swimming pool.

0:18:540:18:56

-I'm very nervous about a lake and what's in it.

-Ready?

0:18:560:18:59

-ALL:

-Yeah!

0:18:590:19:01

Me too!

0:19:010:19:02

Back at the Music Mansion, the kids are about to find out what

0:19:020:19:05

their mums are up against.

0:19:050:19:07

Ringos?!

0:19:070:19:08

You have rubber rings and they sit on it

0:19:080:19:10

and a speedboat drags them along.

0:19:100:19:12

Whose mum do we think is going to win this one, guys?

0:19:120:19:14

-Liz.

-No, not Liz. Not Liz.

0:19:140:19:17

Marie or Liz.

0:19:170:19:19

No-one believes in my mum!

0:19:190:19:21

Back at the lake, Annie's mum, Liz, is about to take to the water.

0:19:220:19:26

I'm really nervous, if I'm honest.

0:19:260:19:29

Liz is super competitive.

0:19:290:19:31

Now, she always talks down every challenge

0:19:310:19:33

and then, pow, she's in there, always in the top three.

0:19:330:19:37

Remember, it's the two mums that can hold on for the longest time

0:19:370:19:40

that will face off in a final showdown.

0:19:400:19:43

Three, two, one...

0:19:430:19:44

Go on, Liz!

0:19:470:19:49

She's a bit tense in the shoulder. Relax a bit.

0:19:510:19:53

Oh!

0:19:530:19:55

Oh!

0:19:550:19:57

It looks a bit bumpy.

0:19:570:19:58

Come on! Yes, Liz. Do it for Annie.

0:19:580:20:02

-Oh!

-Oh, that was high.

0:20:020:20:05

Oh!

0:20:070:20:09

Liz sets an impressive time to beat,

0:20:140:20:16

hanging on for...

0:20:160:20:18

-I actually quite enjoyed that.

-Did you enjoy it?

0:20:200:20:23

Next up...

0:20:230:20:24

-..it's Henry's mum, Marie...

-Agggh!

0:20:250:20:28

-..Emilly's mum, Irene.

-Aggh!

0:20:280:20:32

..and Nataya's mum, Kelsey...

0:20:320:20:34

..who all wipe out in spectacular fashion.

0:20:360:20:38

Agggh!

0:20:400:20:41

But it's Marie who hangs on for the second longest time so far.

0:20:430:20:47

It was fine on the first bit and then kind of got wilder and wilder

0:20:470:20:50

and then, in the end, I think I did do a backflip

0:20:500:20:52

-off the back.

-Next up, it's Jeremiah's aunt, Aminata.

0:20:520:20:55

Whoo!

0:20:550:20:57

..who's looking to a higher power to help her.

0:20:570:20:59

I'm holding on to my very dear life.

0:20:590:21:01

God, help me.

0:21:010:21:03

Come on, Aminata! You can do this!

0:21:050:21:08

Those legs are kicking.

0:21:100:21:12

This is amazing!

0:21:120:21:14

Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Jesus!

0:21:140:21:17

Thank you, Jesus!

0:21:170:21:18

She... Oh, wow!

0:21:180:21:21

Oh!

0:21:210:21:22

She's got this.

0:21:230:21:25

Well done! Oh, my God!

0:21:320:21:35

Despite her unusual technique, Aminata hung on for...

0:21:350:21:38

Meaning that she is now in line for a spot in the final showdown...

0:21:410:21:44

SHE MUMBLES

0:21:440:21:46

..unless Sherina, who is standing in for an injured Natasha,

0:21:460:21:50

can beat her in the final run.

0:21:500:21:52

Come on! Go on, Sherina!

0:21:520:21:54

Three, two, one...

0:21:540:21:56

Wow! And she's off!

0:21:580:22:01

Yes, Sherina!

0:22:030:22:05

Come on, Sherina, hold on tight.

0:22:060:22:08

Sherina didn't let go and at one point she had one arm off,

0:22:160:22:19

it was a bit like a rodeo, and then she gripped back on again.

0:22:190:22:22

Wow!

0:22:220:22:23

In an incredible run, Sherina hangs on for...

0:22:230:22:27

Meaning that she will face off against Liz in a final showdown.

0:22:270:22:31

I just gripped on for dear life!

0:22:310:22:33

Well done, Sherina! So proud, so proud!

0:22:330:22:35

Hi, guys! Two finalists - Liz and Sherina.

0:22:380:22:41

No way!

0:22:410:22:42

How are you feeling knowing my sister

0:22:420:22:44

-might actually win this one for you?

-That makes me so happy.

0:22:440:22:48

OK, mums, this is the big final, two mums in a double ring-off.

0:22:480:22:52

Are you ready, ladies?!

0:22:520:22:54

-No, not ready, actually.

-So long, sister!

0:22:540:22:57

Three, two, one...

0:22:570:23:01

Come on, Sherina!

0:23:050:23:08

Wow, it's a tighter circuit this time round.

0:23:080:23:11

Whoa! Oh, I think there could be a bit of argy-bargy here.

0:23:110:23:14

Go on! Whoa!

0:23:180:23:22

Oh, her legs are up in the air!

0:23:260:23:28

Sherina's done it.

0:23:300:23:32

Her iron grip has got Jada that final spot in the sing-off.

0:23:320:23:35

-Sherina won!

-This is the best thing ever in my life.

0:23:350:23:38

-Well done, Sherina.

-I'm wet, sorry.

-I don't care if you're wet!

0:23:380:23:41

I think you did a better job than I could have done.

0:23:410:23:44

-It's Sherina!

-It's Sherina.

-No way!

0:23:440:23:47

My sister just won the challenge for Jada.

0:23:500:23:52

I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Oh, I know.

0:23:520:23:55

Thank you, Sherina.

0:23:550:23:56

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

0:23:580:24:02

So Jada will be joining Shaun and Rio in tonight's end of show

0:24:020:24:07

sing-off in front of the mums.

0:24:070:24:09

They will each be performing their own version of One Direction's

0:24:090:24:12

Drag Me Down.

0:24:120:24:14

Now it's up to musical director David Tench

0:24:140:24:16

to get the best performance out of them.

0:24:160:24:19

Fourth time in this position, right?

0:24:190:24:21

So today it's more important to you to win this than before.

0:24:210:24:25

-Yes.

-Rio is desperate to win this sing-off.

0:24:250:24:28

She really wants to catch Annie.

0:24:280:24:31

It's scary.

0:24:310:24:33

It's scary.

0:24:330:24:34

I can tell she's worried! Here we go, then.

0:24:340:24:36

-Let's go from the top of this one.

-OK.

0:24:360:24:39

# I got a fire for a heart

0:24:390:24:41

# I'm not scared of the dark. #

0:24:410:24:43

I don't really have any ideas of what I'm going to do to the song.

0:24:430:24:46

You sounded like you were walking through this, like it was easy.

0:24:460:24:49

-No, no, we want some impact.

-OK.

0:24:490:24:51

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:24:510:24:55

Rio wanted to stand out from all the other singers.

0:24:550:24:59

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:24:590:25:01

So what we've got is a fantastic thing

0:25:010:25:04

but the question is have we bitten off more than she can chew?

0:25:040:25:07

-All right, Shaun.

-You all right?

0:25:070:25:09

OK, from the top.

0:25:090:25:11

# I've got a river for a soul

0:25:110:25:13

# And baby you're a boat. #

0:25:130:25:14

I was really impressed with Shaun.

0:25:140:25:16

He knew exactly how he wanted to approach the song.

0:25:160:25:19

And it was the opposite of what I expected.

0:25:190:25:22

# I've got a fire for a heart

0:25:220:25:24

# I'm not scared of the dark. #

0:25:240:25:26

Normally Shaun goes in for long notes, like a ballad approach,

0:25:260:25:29

this one he wants to deliver punchy.

0:25:290:25:31

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:25:310:25:34

This is a new approach, Shaun.

0:25:340:25:36

This isn't what I was expecting from you at all.

0:25:360:25:39

-This is a new man.

-Yeah.

-I like it.

0:25:390:25:41

Shaun is out of his comfort zone,

0:25:410:25:45

and it's a risk.

0:25:450:25:46

So whether it goes well for him or not, remains to be seen.

0:25:460:25:49

-Hello, Jada.

-Hi.

-Welcome to the sing-off again.

0:25:510:25:54

How are you feeling about this one?

0:25:540:25:56

Yeah, I'm not sure because I want to do it

0:25:560:25:59

-a bit more, like, chilled out. Like, just a kind of...

-OK.

0:25:590:26:01

-If you know what I mean?

-Yeah, I do, yeah.

0:26:010:26:04

I'm still struggling on how to make it my own.

0:26:040:26:07

I wonder what it would be like if you just sang the whole thing

0:26:070:26:09

with me playing the drum and I didn't play any piano.

0:26:090:26:12

-Do you want to try it?

-Yeah, we could try it.

0:26:120:26:14

# I've got a fire for a heart

0:26:140:26:17

# I'm not scared of the dark. #

0:26:170:26:19

She's got this wonderful, perfectly in tune, perfectly in time voice.

0:26:190:26:24

And so with just the drum behind her, it makes you focus on that.

0:26:240:26:27

# Baby, you're my only reason. #

0:26:270:26:30

So there I'll just play a few bars.

0:26:300:26:33

-I think maybe we should have the piano from there to the end.

-Yeah.

0:26:330:26:37

Jada is a 13-year-old R&B diva from Elgin, in north Scotland.

0:26:370:26:42

I like singing on stage because it's just a good feeling.

0:26:420:26:45

Like, it's just a buzz.

0:26:450:26:46

She got off to an incredible start in the Music Mansion...

0:26:460:26:49

# I need you to pick me up. #

0:26:490:26:51

..impressing one of the biggest pop stars in music history...

0:26:510:26:54

Rio and Jada.

0:26:540:26:55

-Oh, my God!

-Well done.

-They wrote a really catchy song.

0:26:550:26:59

..and showing off her unique style in the first sing off.

0:26:590:27:02

# Baby, rockabye. #

0:27:020:27:03

She just blew me away.

0:27:030:27:05

But her next performance on stage didn't go so well...

0:27:050:27:07

# Ain't it funny... #

0:27:070:27:10

I did forget the words a little bit.

0:27:100:27:12

..and now she has a chance to get back on track.

0:27:120:27:15

In the last sing-off you had a little stumble

0:27:150:27:17

-and then we picked it up and carried on.

-Yeah.

0:27:170:27:19

I mean, it was a bit frustrating at the time afterwards.

0:27:190:27:22

But I think I just kind of got over it and just moved on.

0:27:220:27:25

That's a really great attitude.

0:27:250:27:26

-That's what live performance is all about.

-Yeah.

0:27:260:27:29

Rehearsals are over,

0:27:290:27:30

it's time for the sixth sing-off.

0:27:300:27:32

I think this one is going to be one of our strongest ones.

0:27:320:27:35

We've got Jada, we've got Shaun, and we've got Rio,

0:27:350:27:37

all very confident in what they do.

0:27:370:27:40

Each sing-off, the mums are the judges and will vote to

0:27:410:27:43

decide which performer is the winner.

0:27:430:27:46

The person with the most sing-off wins after eight episodes

0:27:460:27:48

will automatically qualify for the grand final.

0:27:480:27:52

So far, Annie is in the lead with two points.

0:27:520:27:55

Can anyone catch her up?

0:27:550:27:57

Well, welcome to the sixth sing-off.

0:27:570:27:59

First up, we've got Rio.

0:27:590:28:01

This is Rio's fourth time on the sing-off stage.

0:28:010:28:04

If it goes well, she could draw level with Annie.

0:28:040:28:08

# I've got a fire for the heart

0:28:080:28:10

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:28:100:28:11

# You've never seen it look so easy

0:28:110:28:14

# And if I didn't have you there would be nothing left

0:28:140:28:18

# The shell of a man who could never be his best

0:28:180:28:21

# If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun

0:28:210:28:25

# You taught me how to be someone

0:28:250:28:28

# Yeah

0:28:280:28:30

# All my life

0:28:300:28:33

# You stood by me

0:28:330:28:36

# When no-one else was ever behind me

0:28:360:28:42

# With your love nobody can drag me down

0:28:420:28:45

# Nobody, nobody

0:28:480:28:50

# Nobody can drag me down

0:28:500:28:52

# Nobody, nobody

0:28:540:28:57

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:28:570:29:01

That was a wicked performance.

0:29:040:29:06

How do you feel it went?

0:29:060:29:08

I'm so proud of myself for remembering the words because I was

0:29:080:29:11

really nervous before I sang.

0:29:110:29:12

Shall we see what your sister thought?

0:29:120:29:14

You smashed it, Rio. I'm proud of you. Well done, Rio!

0:29:140:29:17

Rio showed so much control and confidence.

0:29:180:29:22

She's like a properly fully fledged artist.

0:29:220:29:25

I remembered all the words, I was cool,

0:29:250:29:28

I was just chilled about it.

0:29:280:29:30

Next up, we've got Shaun.

0:29:300:29:32

Shaun has decided to step out of his comfort zone with this performance.

0:29:320:29:36

Will his gamble pay off?

0:29:360:29:38

# I've got a fire for the heart

0:29:390:29:41

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:29:410:29:43

# You've never seen it look so easy

0:29:430:29:46

# I got a river as a soul

0:29:460:29:48

# A river as a boat

0:29:480:29:50

# Maybe you're my only reason

0:29:500:29:53

# All my life you stood by me

0:29:530:29:56

# When no-one else was ever behind me

0:29:560:30:01

# All these lies they can't blind me

0:30:010:30:04

# With your love nobody can drag me down

0:30:040:30:11

# Nobody can drag me down

0:30:120:30:17

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:30:190:30:22

Well done. That was like something I've never seen you do before.

0:30:280:30:31

Well done. How do you feel it went?

0:30:310:30:34

I feel it went well.

0:30:340:30:35

Like, I've done my best, so...

0:30:350:30:37

You did yourself proud, mate. You smashed it

0:30:370:30:39

and I'm so proud of you.

0:30:390:30:41

Shaun's performance today was absolutely on point.

0:30:430:30:45

He really wanted to win and he was trying something new.

0:30:450:30:49

I forgot some of my words.

0:30:490:30:50

I think I said "A baby as a boat,"

0:30:500:30:53

so that isn't great.

0:30:530:30:55

Last up, we've got Jada.

0:30:550:30:57

Jada is going to perform with only a drum to accompany her.

0:30:570:31:01

It's a risky move but it could help her stand out.

0:31:010:31:04

# I got a fire for a heart

0:31:040:31:06

# I'm not scared of the dark

0:31:060:31:08

# You've never seen it look so easy

0:31:080:31:11

# I got a river for a soul

0:31:110:31:13

# And, baby, you're a boat

0:31:130:31:16

# Baby, you're my only reason... #

0:31:160:31:20

# All my life you stood by me

0:31:260:31:30

# When no-one else was ever behind me

0:31:300:31:33

# Baby, you're my only reason

0:31:330:31:37

# Yeah

0:31:390:31:41

# All these lights they can't blind me

0:31:430:31:47

# With your love nobody can drag me down

0:31:470:31:51

# Nobody, nobody

0:31:530:31:55

# Nobody can drag me down. #

0:31:550:31:58

Jada, well done. How do you feel it went?

0:32:020:32:04

Yeah, I think it went quite well apart from the little gap

0:32:040:32:07

where I missed the lyrics.

0:32:070:32:08

But what you did was so good.

0:32:080:32:11

You stopped, you waited a little bit and you carried on.

0:32:110:32:14

So, well done for that. Natasha, what did you think?

0:32:140:32:17

I'm so proud, Jada.

0:32:170:32:18

I loved the shade in it, I loved the depth.

0:32:180:32:20

It was just so interesting and I loved it.

0:32:200:32:23

Jada was fantastic today.

0:32:230:32:24

She's got such a unique sound,

0:32:240:32:27

but I think what happens is when she gets to the stage,

0:32:270:32:30

she's distracted by lights, people looking at her.

0:32:300:32:33

I did forget the words a little bit

0:32:330:32:35

but I don't think it was that noticeable.

0:32:350:32:37

So hopefully it was OK. Yeah.

0:32:370:32:40

So, three fantastic performances but now it's the hard bit,

0:32:410:32:45

it's time to vote.

0:32:450:32:47

The mums must now vote for the person they think deserves to

0:32:470:32:50

win the sing-off.

0:32:500:32:52

Everybody worked really hard to make the song their own

0:32:520:32:54

and make it sound different. And everybody took risks.

0:32:540:32:57

I think it was such a wicked sing-off

0:32:570:32:59

but there can only be one winner.

0:32:590:33:01

And the winner is...

0:33:010:33:03

..Jada.

0:33:090:33:10

-I won the sing-off.

-You won the sing-off!

-Yes.

0:33:130:33:15

-You did an amazing job.

-I'm really happy.

0:33:150:33:17

That was absolutely incredible.

0:33:170:33:19

I think Jada took a really big risk. It definitely paid off for her.

0:33:190:33:23

Jada did so well to win today and I'm proud of her.

0:33:230:33:26

I won the sing-off!

0:33:260:33:27

-You won the sing-off?

-Yeah!

-Oh, right!

0:33:270:33:31

-Woohoo!

-By the way, we're filming right now!

0:33:310:33:34

So far, on this Got What It Takes? everybody's been friends.

0:33:360:33:40

But you know what? We're getting close to the end -

0:33:400:33:43

who knows if that'll stay the same?

0:33:430:33:45

Next time...

0:33:450:33:47

It's not going to work.

0:33:470:33:48

# Eh... #

0:33:480:33:49

I just feel a bit defeated.

0:33:490:33:51

This was the first time that we saw people really struggling.

0:33:510:33:54

-Bring it on.

-Yeah, boy!

-Yeah!

0:33:540:33:57

# Hey, what are those and things by your toes?

0:33:570:33:59

# You're just a wannabe. #

0:33:590:34:02

THEY SCREAM

0:34:020:34:04

-The mums got really vicious.

-Get in, Mother!

0:34:040:34:07

Hey, guys, it's Jaymi here.

0:34:080:34:10

If you want to see even more Got What It Takes? action,

0:34:100:34:13

I am your man.

0:34:130:34:14

# Won't let go. #

0:34:140:34:16

-Amazing!

-Just say you won't let go!

-Just say!

0:34:160:34:18

# I did it again

0:34:180:34:22

# I played with your heart. #

0:34:220:34:26
