0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Ten kids terrified of singing in public...- Hey, don't cry.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- What's happened?- I don't want to do it.- Two soloists, Chris and Oli.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13..must undergo the toughest performance challenges.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18- You must be extra-nervous.- I'm still shaking and I don't know why.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Today, they get a real taste of stage fright...
0:00:21 > 0:00:24I'm just really scared.
0:00:24 > 0:00:29..when a West End star prepares them for action.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Could you do it? This is The Big Performance.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# Ooh, ooh, ooh
0:00:47 > 0:00:48# Yeah
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Ooh, ooh, ooh
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# Oh, oh... #
0:00:57 > 0:01:02These shy singers are on a musical tour of the country
0:01:02 > 0:01:04with top choirmaster Gareth Malone.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10With time running out before they perform at Proms In The Park
0:01:10 > 0:01:13in four weeks, the pressure is mounting.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18We're going to perform in public and I feel quite nervous.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Last time, the group rocked out with Barney.- It's so much fun.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And their busking performance raised more than just a crowd.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33You raised two hundred and fourteen pounds.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36But today, the stakes are raised even higher
0:01:36 > 0:01:40when they perform in front of a packed-out theatre.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I'm not thinking about the audience. Just the song and the words.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Today, the Big Performance tour bus is heading south to Birmingham.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56With so many entertainment venues,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00this city has played host to some of the best music acts
0:02:00 > 0:02:04from all over the world. It's also home to Miriyah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08The group is getting better and better all the time.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They're gaining confidence.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I'm looking for a really sparkly performance
0:02:13 > 0:02:16that draws the audience in like never before.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I don't think they will have heard of the style of music for this week,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22but I think they'll really enjoy it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26They're performing it in front of the biggest audience they've seen.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28They'll be very frightened.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31With their audiences growing bigger and bigger,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Gareth's singers must brace themselves for this challenge.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40He's brought them to the Birmingham Hippodrome that holds 2,000 people.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's stop number seven on the Big Performance bus.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And this week, the style of music is glam rock.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Queen and David Bowie were pioneers of glam rock back in the late '70s.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57But current acts Pink, Mika and Lady Gaga have all contributed
0:02:57 > 0:03:00to its recent popularity.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05The key to being a glam rock star is about being so confident,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08so outrageous, so big in your personality
0:03:08 > 0:03:10that you just wow the audience.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14This week's soloist will have their work cut out.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Isthaque...- Yes?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It isn't you.- I knew it wasn't.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22LAUGHTER
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Jordan...- Yeah?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Jordan...- Yeah?- It could be you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34But it isn't because it's Miriyah.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37# Hello, hello... #
0:03:37 > 0:03:39My favourite style of music is R&B.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42My favourite song is Hello by Beyonce.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I like all types of music, but my least favourite is opera.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- OK, Miriyah, are you ready for a glam rock solo?- No.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'm very nervous about the solo
0:03:52 > 0:03:55cos I don't know much about glam rock.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I think they'll be seriously shocked and not a little bit frightened
0:04:00 > 0:04:04when they find out what their challenge is this time. Seriously.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09This theatre showcases everything
0:04:09 > 0:04:13from opera, ballet, musicals, pantomime and drama.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It's an intimidating place when it's empty,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20so imagine how the group will feel when it's packed.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- What do you think?- Amazing. - It's amazing, isn't it?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I've brought you here because, later on,
0:04:29 > 0:04:34you'll be doing your performance in here, but there's a twist
0:04:34 > 0:04:38because it's going to be in front of your first paying audience.
0:04:38 > 0:04:45That means there will be nearly 2,000 people in that audience.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47When I walked out on to that stage,
0:04:47 > 0:04:53my belly nearly fell out. I looked at it and thought it was massive.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Performing in front of paying guests makes me feel nervous
0:04:57 > 0:05:01because if we're bad, what's the point of paying to see us?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So, Miriyah, later on, you're going to be stood about here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10And you will be looking right out there, all those seats full.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- How are you feeling?- Angry.- You're feeling angry with me?- Yes.- Really?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It's going to be fine. Do you think you can do it...?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23No.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I think Miriyah is a little bit upset. She's quite scared.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30But I know that she'll be brilliant.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34She doesn't yet believe it, but I believe in her.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39An audience of 2,000 is the largest the group have performed to yet.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43But in just four weeks, they'll face a crowd of 40,000
0:05:43 > 0:05:47at Proms In The Park and one of them will be singing the solo.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Which was met with a very unenthusiastic response
0:05:51 > 0:05:54from the petrified singers at the first stop on the tour.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Chris, you want to do it?- What?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Does anyone fancy that?- No, cos they'll boo you.- They won't boo you.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Gareth wants them to understand the scale of the challenge
0:06:05 > 0:06:08for whoever is picked to sing the solo.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11This is Proms In The Park.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15# Land of hope and glory... #
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, my gosh!
0:06:18 > 0:06:2040,000 people.
0:06:21 > 0:06:28# How shall we extol thee...
0:06:30 > 0:06:36# ..make thee mightier yet. #
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Who feels that they might want to do the solo?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh! That's brilliant.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46After eight weeks on the Big Performance tour,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49these desperately shy singers have blossomed.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I'm absolutely delighted. What's changed?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58I've become more confident because I have done solos in front of people.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Howard, do you want to go for it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Yes, I want to have a go and feel more confident in life.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07In the space of just a short few weeks,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10we've gone from nobody wanting to do this solo
0:07:10 > 0:07:13to all these people putting their hands up.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18This is about building up confidence and you can see the difference.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Will their positivity last when they hear today's track?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26The song for glam rock is Somebody To Love by Queen.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Hands up if you know it... Great.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- # Somebody- Somebody- Ooh, somebody
0:07:31 > 0:07:36# Can anybody find me
0:07:36 > 0:07:38# Somebody to love...? #
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Somebody To Love was written in 1976 by Queen front man Freddie Mercury.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It has since been covered by countless artists,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50including George Michael, G4 and Joe McElderry.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53# But everybody wants to put me down
0:07:53 > 0:07:55# They say I'm goin' crazy... #
0:07:55 > 0:08:00This song also features in the hit West End musical We Will Rock You.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04The show is based entirely on the music of Queen.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Somebody To Love is sung by the lead character Scaramouche,
0:08:08 > 0:08:13a girl teased for being different, something the group can relate to.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17We've got a fantastic singer - Sarah French.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Sarah plays the current lead in the hit West End show.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23# Each morning I get up, I die a little
0:08:23 > 0:08:26# Can barely stand on my feet... #
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Sarah understands all about confronting nerves
0:08:30 > 0:08:33as she performs this song to a packed audience every day.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37# To lo-o-o-ove... #
0:08:37 > 0:08:40APPLAUSE
0:08:40 > 0:08:44With Sarah's help, Gareth wants the group to understand
0:08:44 > 0:08:47a glam rock performance needs attitude
0:08:47 > 0:08:49and an exaggerated personality.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- "I've spent all my years in believing you."- Did you believe that?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- I didn't, no.- Neither did I.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59The important elements to remember while singing Somebody To Love
0:08:59 > 0:09:02are to connect with the lyrics. It's a glam rock song.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Exaggerate all the movements and just believe in what you're singing.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10# Each morning I get up, I die a little
0:09:10 > 0:09:13# Can barely stand on my feet
0:09:13 > 0:09:16# Take a look in the mirror and cry
0:09:16 > 0:09:18# Lord, what you're doing to me... #
0:09:18 > 0:09:23If you've been an outsider or you're not wearing the right clothes,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26if you've ever felt like that,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29remember that emotion and put it into the song.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32# Each morning I get up, I die a little
0:09:32 > 0:09:34# Can barely stand on my feet... #
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Sarah's coaching has paid off.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The song lyrics have struck a chord with the group.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44The song has a strong message to me because I used to get picked on.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The bullies made me not think it's cool to sing.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50But you want to be your own person.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54The song is really relevant to me
0:09:54 > 0:09:59because at my school, none of my friends sing and I'm singing.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It's like they think it's kind of weird and cheesy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06They got into Somebody To Love really well.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08They know it, they like it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13I just want them to really give it some energy and feisty attitude.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Later, Miriyah will be singing her solo
0:10:22 > 0:10:26to a theatre packed with a paying audience.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30The only concern I have is the fact that it's front of 2,000 people,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32but anything else, I have no problem.
0:10:32 > 0:10:3612-year-old Miriyah, the youngest of three,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40loves nothing more than making up songs and dressing like a pop star.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43But her fear of people making fun of her
0:10:43 > 0:10:47has stopped her singing in front of anyone.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50These insecurities were clear when Gareth first met her.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52What was the worst thing?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56At primary school, people made fun of my singing.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- That must have been very upsetting. - Yeah.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01# I've spent all my years believing you... #
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Since being on the Big Performance tour,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Miriyah's belief in her singing ability has gradually grown.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Can her past help her shine in today's solo?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14# Somebody to love... #
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Is this a song you can relate to? - Yes, if I want to.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Have you ever been bullied in the past or felt you're not...?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Primary school. They said I can't sing.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I didn't want to put my hand up for parts in the plays.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32You held yourself back. Is this at the root of your fear about singing?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37You need to put some of that angst and irritation into the singing,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39so we get that glam rock attitude.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Gareth has a technique to help her be more assertive in her singing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47You've got to push her on every single word.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52# Every day, I try and I try and I try, but... #
0:11:52 > 0:11:54SHE STARTS TO LAUGH
0:11:54 > 0:11:59# Every day, I try and I try and I try
0:11:59 > 0:12:02# But everybody's bringing me down
0:12:02 > 0:12:05# They say I'm goin' crazy
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- # Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... # - Awesome!
0:12:09 > 0:12:14I think the song is going to be a great song for me to perform
0:12:14 > 0:12:19because I can prove to some people that told me I can't sing that I can.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21# Somebody to love... #
0:12:21 > 0:12:25The big question for me is - is she going to just get through the song
0:12:25 > 0:12:30or is she going to sing with glam rock attitude and wow the audience?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36The group have the rock,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40but they are yet to find the glam, so Gareth has a plan.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44In there I've got a dressing-up box that will put Lady Gaga's to shame.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Come and have a look.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52This is Lydia, the fashion stylist from teenage magazine Mizz.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Oh, cool!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Jo will be doing hair, make-up and wigs in the corner.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02And then finally, it's going to be in that magazine
0:13:02 > 0:13:05on a two-page spread.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, good!
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Let the mayhem commence.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Glam rock is all about attitude
0:13:15 > 0:13:19and nothing screams attitude more than a Lady Gaga-style outfit.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Gareth hopes this treasure chest of delights will transform the group.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- It's a bit frightening.- This is their first ever photo shoot.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The previously timid group needs
0:13:30 > 0:13:33to shed their inhibitions and dare to be glam.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Oh, that's brilliant.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40It seems the boys' enthusiasm for a bit of rock glamour
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- is rubbing off on Gareth. - I'm thinking of a change of career.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Surprisingly, it's the girls who can't summon up their inner Gaga.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51That looks really good. Oh, that's great.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53You're destroying my hair.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57It's scary. I've got a big lobster on my head.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00It takes some inspiration from Jo and the great Gaga
0:14:00 > 0:14:03for the girls to let go of their shyness.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I like the eyelashes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Shall we get started on it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Look how wild they are!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It's really fun to dress up as a glam rock star.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23It's more like Lady Gaga. She IS a glam rock star.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27They look absolutely brilliant. That will help them get into it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32These glam rock stars may look good enough for a top teenage magazine,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35but the challenge doesn't end there.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Right. You are going in these outfits to go and strut your stuff
0:14:40 > 0:14:45with real glam rock attitude through the streets of Birmingham.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- OK! Yeah!- Let's go!
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Do they have the confidence and glam rock arrogance
0:14:53 > 0:14:58to do their photo shoot on a busy street? This challenge will test
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the self-conscious group to their limits.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06A few weeks ago, they were afraid singing made them look stupid.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- I'll lose my friends.- All your friends? Do you really think that?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15People start saying, "I'm not going to sing," it'll all fall apart.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18OK, guys. This is your challenge.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I want you to get off the bus one at a time,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27walk down the steps, making a series of fabulous poses.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And then walk back. Simple as that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Today, soloist Miriyah is first in line to parade her new look.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- How are you feeling?- Scared. But I'll get it over and done with.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Brilliant. Off you go.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50With the crowd gathering outside...
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- I have a lobster on my head! - You look great! Gorgeous!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Imagine they're all lobsters!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Brilliant. Go for it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Five poses. OK, go.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Count the poses, everyone. We want to see a real glam rocker.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Someone's looking at me like I'm a freak!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- You'll get a round of applause. - I'm not going.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Image-conscious Miriyah loses her nerve. At her audition,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24she worried about how she looks.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I want to be confident and walk out wearing shorts or leggings.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Normally I put jeans and a big jumper on.- You'd like to be more confident
0:16:33 > 0:16:37about what you wear and who you are. Yeah?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- It seems she's still struggling. - It's going to be really fun.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I don't want to go!
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- I'm not doing it. I don't care. - Come on, Miriyah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55She refuses to leave the safety of the bus, but with the crowd growing,
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- someone needs to go next. - Chloe?- Yes.- You can do this, yeah?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Big, confident attitude. Go on! - Embracing her new look,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Chloe steps up.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Yeah! Go on!
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Her courage pays off as the public like what they see.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23You did so well! High five!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27For the first time ever, the others forget about what others think
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and follow Chloe's lead.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Whoo!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- What did you think?- Horrible!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Well done, Ollie!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah! Work it, Howard!
0:17:51 > 0:17:55That is glam rock attitude. That's how you do it.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00All but one of these glam rockers has risen to the challenge.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Will Miriyah find the courage?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07No one will recognise you. You look completely different.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Do you want to do it on your own? Go for it! Yes!
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Having previously clammed up, Miriyah comes out of her shell
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- and faces her worst fear head-on. - Well done!
0:18:27 > 0:18:32You did it! This is all about not worrying if you look silly.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35You looked great. It was fun.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46These guys are under-confident and scared of the public.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50This was the hardest thing imaginable.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55I think they started to enjoy it and get over that worry.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04As the group cram in some extra practice, Katie takes control.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11I'm Gareth Malone and I'm going to teach you this song. Louder, people!
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Louder!
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Gareth has a challenge to help Miriyah let go of her insecurities.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21After being bullied at primary school, she's so self-conscious
0:19:21 > 0:19:26she's never even sung in front of her mum. That's about to change.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Who do you think is inside?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's your entire family.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- You going to be able to do this? - I have to.- You do have to.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44It's really important to overcome this and become the singer you are.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Can you do it?- Yeah.- Let's go.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49'I'm feeling scared right now.'
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I don't like singing in front of my family.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58I wish Miriyah had more confidence to sing in front of the family.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I hope today's the start.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Miriyah! Welcome to your family barbecue and let's go for it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08You have to face your audience.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Can Miriyah put her demons to rest
0:20:11 > 0:20:14by showing her family her talent?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17# Each morning I get up I die a little
0:20:17 > 0:20:20# I can barely stand on my feet
0:20:20 > 0:20:23# Take a look in the mirror and cry
0:20:23 > 0:20:26# Lord, what you doing to me
0:20:26 > 0:20:32# I spent all my years believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord
0:20:32 > 0:20:34# Somebody, somebody
0:20:34 > 0:20:38# Can anybody find me
0:20:39 > 0:20:42# Somebody to
0:20:42 > 0:20:47# Lo-ove? #
0:20:51 > 0:20:53CHEERING
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Miriyah, let's have a bow.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Wasn't she brilliant?- Yes!
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- Absolutely!- Look, your mum's crying it was so good!
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Look at their faces. That's joy that you've created.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You did that with your singing.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18I do feel a bit proud that I've sung in front of them now.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I've learnt you just give it your all.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26I couldn't believe that voice was coming from my little girl.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The way she stood there, it touched me. It really did.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Yes! Brilliant! I couldn't have asked for anything better
0:21:34 > 0:21:38in the time she's had. Fantastic. She's got a lovely voice.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I just hope she does that for the people at the Hippodrome.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52A good tip for a top glam rock performance is an onstage persona,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55something these celebrities know.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00If you are a personality onstage, you're a bigger version of yourself.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You have to be that personality.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Energy, energy, energy. Just keep it going.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11If you provide the crowd with energy, they feed it back.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Command the stage.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17It's about personality, delivering that performance.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28With half an hour to curtain up, Gareth uses every last minute.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- # Find me... #- Strong!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33# Somebody to... #
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Strong! - # ..love! #
0:22:36 > 0:22:38This is a glam rock performance
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and the group need to reach out to every person in the audience.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46The breath has got to be early, so again...
0:22:46 > 0:22:51# Each morning I get up I die a little
0:22:51 > 0:22:53# Can barely stand on my feet... #
0:22:53 > 0:22:58The theatregoers will expect 100% from their performance.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- # I've spent all my years... # - I want more edge!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06'This is 2,000 paying guests.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10'To win this size of audience over,'
0:23:10 > 0:23:14they need to up the ante and give that glam rock attitude.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16A small performance won't work.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24The group head off to get changed as final preparations are made.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30As the seats fill up, the reality of what they've to do is sinking in.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I'm trying not to think about the audience. Just the song.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Words can't explain it. I'm scared!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41This is really frightening.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:23:57 > 0:24:00# Can anybody...
0:24:00 > 0:24:03# ..find me...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07# ..somebody to...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10# ..love?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19# Each morning I get up I die a little
0:24:19 > 0:24:22# Can barely stand on my feet
0:24:22 > 0:24:25# Take a look in the mirror and cry
0:24:25 > 0:24:27# Lord, what you're doing to me
0:24:27 > 0:24:31# I've spent all my years in believing in you
0:24:31 > 0:24:33# But I just can't get no relief
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- # Somebody- Somebody
0:24:36 > 0:24:43# Can anybody find me somebody to love?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45LOUD CHEERS
0:24:47 > 0:24:52# Every day I try and I try and I try
0:24:52 > 0:24:58# But everybody puts me down They say I'm going crazy
0:24:58 > 0:25:00# They say I got a lot of water on my brain
0:25:00 > 0:25:05# I got no common sense I've got nobody left to believe
0:25:05 > 0:25:08# Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
0:25:08 > 0:25:14# Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love
0:25:14 > 0:25:20# Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love
0:25:20 > 0:25:23# Can anybody find me
0:25:23 > 0:25:26# Somebody to...
0:25:26 > 0:25:30# ..lo-ove? #
0:25:30 > 0:25:33CHEERING
0:25:37 > 0:25:42This was a massive challenge for such inexperienced performers,
0:25:42 > 0:25:47but they've pulled it off and there's a great response.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50APPLAUSE CONTINUES
0:25:58 > 0:26:01That was nerve-racking.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- For the first time, they feel a real sense of pride.- Brilliant!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It was one of our best performances.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13We just went on there and we gave it our all.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18I am so proud of you. Miriyah! Fantastic. Did you enjoy it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23When they cheered, I wanted to jump up and down!
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I felt really happy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29That was so good. There was an electricity in the air.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34And what was amazing was that they enjoyed performing.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38As soon as they heard that audience roar with approval, the smiles!
0:26:38 > 0:26:42It was brilliant.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47The group needed to put on a glam rock performance that sparkled.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Onstage, they put into practice everything I told them
0:26:51 > 0:26:57and pulled off a performance of real energy. Fabulous.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02We're starting to get a group who can really sing, who can enjoy it
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and do it in front of a big audience, in front of Hyde Park.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12I haven't made up my mind about the soloist, but Miriyah raised the bar.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18She's proved she can be relied upon in front of a big audience.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26Next time on The Big Performance, it's all about pop music.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- Choreographer Cisco Gomez puts them through their paces.- This is hard.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37Isthaque goes back to school to face his worst nightmare.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42And they go starry-eyed performing to the hottest boy band around -
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- The Wanted. - I thought we'd go like, "Ohhh!"
