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