Last year on The Big Performance, ten terrified kids found the courage

0:00:020:00:07

to sing to an audience of 40,000 at Proms in the Park.

0:00:070:00:11

The Big Performance is the biggest cheer of the night.

0:00:110:00:15

But for this year's kids, the challenge is much bigger

0:00:150:00:19

and much scarier - singing live on BBC One to an audience

0:00:190:00:22

of 11 million on Children in Need night.

0:00:220:00:25

This is the biggest thing I've ever done, and I'm scared.

0:00:250:00:29

Today it's boys versus girls, as they must perform in front of real pop stars.

0:00:290:00:33

-This week, there's nowhere to hide.

-And the pressure is ramped up.

0:00:330:00:37

Everybody has to have a say!

0:00:370:00:40

The winning group is...

0:00:410:00:43

This is The Big Performance 2.

0:00:430:00:46

Ten talented children, bullied for singing...

0:01:090:01:12

When you get...bullied, you believe them.

0:01:120:01:15

..now too shy to perform in public...

0:01:150:01:18

I just can't do it.

0:01:180:01:20

..must find the strength to sing to the nation live on Children in Need night.

0:01:200:01:24

They need captivating choir master Gareth Malone to help banish performance nerves.

0:01:250:01:30

They're shy, but they've GOT to face up to this challenge.

0:01:300:01:34

-Last time, the timid performers turned into singer-songwriters...

-What else can we say in the chorus?

0:01:340:01:40

-Our sentence is served?

-That's great.

0:01:400:01:42

..and debuted live on Radio London.

0:01:420:01:44

-That was amazing!

-I can't believe I just did that!

0:01:440:01:48

Today the Big Performance bus is pulling up in the musical Mecca of Manchester,

0:01:500:01:54

where some of the world's most successful pop and rock stars,

0:01:540:01:58

including Oasis and Take That, have originated.

0:01:580:02:02

Five weeks into their musical journey,

0:02:020:02:04

Gareth wants to shake things up a bit.

0:02:040:02:06

This week is going to be really exciting. We're not learning

0:02:060:02:10

one song, we're learning two - one for the boys and one for the girls.

0:02:100:02:13

The competition is on.

0:02:130:02:15

This week, we're going to do things a little bit differently, follow me.

0:02:150:02:20

Gareth has brought the group to Manchester's

0:02:200:02:23

premier performance venue, the MEN Arena.

0:02:230:02:27

It's time to find out who'll be stepping into the solo spotlight

0:02:270:02:30

on this stage later today.

0:02:300:02:32

Everyone who's already done their solo step back.

0:02:320:02:36

OK. Imogen...

0:02:390:02:40

..it could be you.

0:02:420:02:43

James...

0:02:450:02:46

..it's not you, step back.

0:02:470:02:51

Joan...

0:02:510:02:52

it could be you.

0:02:520:02:54

Sasha...

0:02:540:02:55

..it's not you, step back.

0:02:570:02:59

Mohammed...

0:02:590:03:01

..you are the soloist.

0:03:020:03:04

Oh, my God, no!

0:03:040:03:06

And Joan...

0:03:060:03:08

you are the other soloist.

0:03:080:03:10

I'm really confident with my school work,

0:03:140:03:17

I just wish I could be confident with my singing, too.

0:03:170:03:19

I dream of being a performer, but I just don't know how they do it.

0:03:190:03:23

The way Gareth announced that it'd be different,

0:03:230:03:26

I thought we weren't going to have a soloist,

0:03:260:03:29

so it's really scaring me.

0:03:290:03:31

So, that's the soloists sorted, what about the songs?

0:03:310:03:34

The musical theme this week is really good fun, it is...

0:03:340:03:39

boybands and girlbands!

0:03:390:03:41

THEY SCREAM

0:03:410:03:43

That's right, today is a Big Performance first -

0:03:430:03:46

the boys and girls are going head to head.

0:03:460:03:49

Boybands - why?!

0:03:490:03:52

'I really love the music theme.'

0:03:520:03:54

I'm going to do it for the girls and show them what we're made of.

0:03:540:03:57

Girl power!

0:03:570:03:59

Up till now, the group's been relying on one or two of the strongest

0:04:010:04:04

singers, but with boys vs girls, this week there's nowhere to hide.

0:04:040:04:08

With a capacity of 21,000,

0:04:120:04:14

a huge arena like this is used to being filled

0:04:140:04:17

by acts like Justin Bieber and Madonna,

0:04:170:04:20

so this timid group will have to learn fast

0:04:200:04:22

how to get their performance as big as the venue.

0:04:220:04:25

Will it be the girls or the boys putting in

0:04:250:04:28

superstar performances later today?

0:04:280:04:30

OK, so, girls, your song...

0:04:310:04:34

MASSIVE hit for...

0:04:340:04:36

one of the biggest girlbands,

0:04:360:04:39

if not THE biggest girlband ever,

0:04:390:04:41

it's Spice up Your Life

0:04:410:04:43

by the Spice Girls!

0:04:430:04:44

# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time

0:04:460:04:48

# Shake it to the right... #

0:04:480:04:50

The Spice Girls burst onto the music scene in the '90s

0:04:500:04:53

with attitude and personality.

0:04:530:04:56

They've sold over 55 million albums worldwide

0:04:560:04:58

and are hailed as the best-selling girl group ever.

0:04:580:05:01

# La, la, la, la, la... #

0:05:010:05:04

Boys, you are going to be performing an enormous hit,

0:05:040:05:08

Take That..

0:05:080:05:10

..and the song is Never Forget.

0:05:120:05:14

No, no, no, this is the song.

0:05:170:05:18

# Never forget where you're coming from... #

0:05:180:05:22

Take That are THE boyband to rival all others.

0:05:220:05:25

They're still going strong after 11 number one hits

0:05:250:05:29

and multiple music awards.

0:05:290:05:31

As famous for their good looks and personalities

0:05:310:05:34

as their singing, the boys have got a lot to live up to.

0:05:340:05:37

It's straight to work for the new pop bands.

0:05:370:05:40

# We've come so far and we've reached so high

0:05:400:05:44

# And we've looked each day and night in the eye

0:05:440:05:49

# And we're still so young and we hope for more. #

0:05:490:05:54

Vocally speaking, you're sounding really strong and you're putting

0:05:540:05:58

lots of energy into it.

0:05:580:05:59

'The boys are doing brilliantly,

0:05:590:06:01

they're going for it - they're trying'

0:06:010:06:03

to overcome their fears by singing and not just wimping out of it,

0:06:030:06:07

and I'm really impressed by that.

0:06:070:06:09

I thought we could start like this.

0:06:090:06:12

The competition with the girls

0:06:120:06:14

has given these normally shy boys a focus.

0:06:140:06:17

When we do "someone else's dream,"

0:06:170:06:19

-then we can all drop to our knees for the final one.

-For the last one, yeah.

0:06:190:06:23

I really want to beat the girls. There's six of them, and there's

0:06:230:06:26

four of us it would just humiliate them so much if we beat them.

0:06:260:06:29

# Someday soon this will all be someone else's dream. #

0:06:310:06:34

-'

-I think that the girls are getting a run for their money'

0:06:340:06:38

because our song is sounding awesome at the moment.

0:06:380:06:41

More preoccupied with choosing a Spice name,

0:06:410:06:44

the girls haven't even started singing yet.

0:06:440:06:47

-I'm Sporty Spice.

-I'm Sporty!

-I'm Scary Spice.

0:06:470:06:50

Can I be Scary?

0:06:500:06:52

Can I be the red-haired one?

0:06:520:06:55

In six weeks', the shy singers will be performing live

0:06:580:07:01

to 11 million viewers on Children in Need night.

0:07:010:07:03

OK, girls, can I see what you've got so far?

0:07:030:07:07

It's crucial they throw themselves into each new challenge

0:07:070:07:10

from the start.

0:07:100:07:11

THEY SING INCOHERENTLY

0:07:110:07:14

GIGGLING

0:07:160:07:19

Right, pause it a sec.

0:07:190:07:21

OK, pause it. One, two, three...

0:07:210:07:24

# Slam it to the left... #

0:07:240:07:26

Oh, dear, no, no, no.

0:07:260:07:27

# Slam it to the left if you're having a good time! #

0:07:270:07:30

Go for it!

0:07:300:07:31

# Slam it to the left if you're having a good time

0:07:310:07:34

# Shake it to the front if you know that you feel fine

0:07:340:07:37

# Shake it to the front and go round. #

0:07:370:07:40

It just feels like everyone's waiting for someone else.

0:07:400:07:43

At the moment the boys are all going,

0:07:430:07:45

like they're trying to beat each other,

0:07:450:07:47

I think we need the same competition with the girls, go for it.

0:07:470:07:50

At the moment, it doesn't look like the girls are working hard enough.

0:07:500:07:54

I think they think that someone else is going to sing,

0:07:540:07:56

but they've got to realise it's down to them,

0:07:560:07:58

they've got to find that Girl Power. At the moment, they don't have it.

0:07:580:08:02

They haven't got long to find it because what they don't know is

0:08:040:08:08

there's a massive challenge ahead.

0:08:080:08:10

The performance this week is intimidating - not only are they

0:08:100:08:13

performing for an A&R man from a record company,

0:08:130:08:16

but the girls are going to be performing for a boyband...

0:08:160:08:19

and the boys are going to be performing for a girlband.

0:08:190:08:24

I mean, that is scary.

0:08:240:08:25

Successful boy and girlbands work well as a group,

0:08:250:08:29

but stand out as individuals, too.

0:08:290:08:31

-# Never... #

-The girls have got the individual bit right...

0:08:310:08:35

-You try and be the boss...

-Shh, Claudia!

0:08:350:08:38

But everybody has to have a say,

0:08:380:08:41

everybody has to have a say.

0:08:410:08:45

Oh, just get on with it.

0:08:450:08:48

The girls creative differences are threatening

0:08:480:08:51

to ruin their performance.

0:08:510:08:53

There's a lot resting on soloist Joan.

0:08:530:08:55

'I'm so nervous because I think I'll look stupid or silly.'

0:08:550:08:58

There's another me that goes, "Oh, Joan, just express yourself,

0:08:580:09:02

"feel free," but I can't get that me to stay.

0:09:020:09:05

Joan has a real block when it comes to singing

0:09:050:09:09

and she desperately wants to change.

0:09:090:09:11

She loves RnB, especially Rihanna,

0:09:110:09:14

but if she wants to be as expressive as her,

0:09:140:09:16

she needs to start believing in herself.

0:09:160:09:19

Gareth was blown away by Joan's voice when they first met.

0:09:190:09:24

# Amazing Grace... #

0:09:240:09:28

But she's terrified of people looking at her when she sings

0:09:280:09:32

-and it's affecting how she feels about herself.

-I think you are

0:09:320:09:35

one of the most talented people in the group.

0:09:350:09:37

-I don't think I'm talented.

-Well, listen, I do,

0:09:370:09:40

but...you sometimes show it.

0:09:400:09:43

Gareth has a technique to help her face her fear, and herself.

0:09:440:09:48

One, two, three and go!

0:09:480:09:51

# When you're feeling...#

0:09:510:09:53

Would you pay money to see that, Joan?

0:09:530:09:55

That girl in the mirror can sing.

0:09:550:09:58

That girl in the mirror is talented.

0:09:580:10:01

Gareth's words of encouragement have the opposite effect.

0:10:010:10:04

I'm serious, you've got a really nice voice. What's the matter? Oh, honey,

0:10:040:10:09

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry.

0:10:090:10:11

Joan has an extreme reaction to performing,

0:10:110:10:15

something Gareth realised during the karaoke challenge.

0:10:150:10:18

Are you OK, Joan, you all right?

0:10:180:10:20

-Joan, it's all right. What are you worried about?

-I don't know.

0:10:200:10:24

No, I don't either.

0:10:240:10:27

It's going to be OK. I really, really feel

0:10:270:10:29

that you have great ability.

0:10:290:10:32

Yeah?

0:10:340:10:36

Come on, let's stand up straight and let's do it now,

0:10:360:10:39

let's be that confident Joan.

0:10:390:10:41

One, two, three, and go!

0:10:410:10:44

# When you're feeling sad and low... #

0:10:440:10:47

'Joan has the ability to really stand out, she draws attention'

0:10:470:10:52

and she just doesn't believe in herself.

0:10:520:10:54

When I said she was talented, she rejected that completely.

0:10:540:10:58

And I meant it, I think she has ability,

0:10:580:11:01

but she just doesn't know it yet.

0:11:010:11:02

It's not just Joan who needs to work on her self-esteem -

0:11:020:11:06

Mohammed is taking centre stage for the boys

0:11:060:11:08

and it's his turn for some solo training with Gareth.

0:11:080:11:11

I want to be noticed,

0:11:110:11:12

but I can't let my inner performance shine cos I'm too shy to do it.

0:11:120:11:16

Hardworking Mohammed is focused when it comes to his school work,

0:11:160:11:21

but his low self-esteem has made him performance-shy.

0:11:210:11:25

He's desperate to be noticed, and is inspired by Lady Gaga,

0:11:250:11:28

but the bullies in the past have made his dream impossible.

0:11:280:11:32

At his audition, Gareth saw the potential in Mohammed.

0:11:320:11:35

# I am beautiful, no matter what they say... #

0:11:350:11:40

But he couldn't see it in himself.

0:11:400:11:43

I've always had really low self-esteem,

0:11:430:11:45

I've never, ever, been confident at all.

0:11:450:11:47

To help Mohammed find his inner performer,

0:11:470:11:50

Gareth has a special prop.

0:11:500:11:52

Inside this box is where you are trapped at the moment.

0:11:520:11:57

And I want you to burst out of it.

0:11:570:11:58

Get inside. You'll be fine.

0:11:580:12:02

OK, that's it, ready? OK, so, here we go.

0:12:020:12:04

I want you to burst out of this box.

0:12:040:12:06

He wants to be expressive, he wants to be free,

0:12:060:12:10

but he just can't because he's imprisoned by fear.

0:12:100:12:12

Two, three, and...!

0:12:120:12:14

# Been on this path of life for so long. #

0:12:140:12:18

Mohammed, did you burst out of the box. No? No, I want "Been!"

0:12:180:12:23

I'm here, Mohammed is here!

0:12:230:12:25

# Been... # Better, and...!

0:12:250:12:28

-# Been! #

-Good, but where's the smiling face?

0:12:280:12:30

# Been

0:12:300:12:33

# On this path of life for so long. #

0:12:330:12:36

Mohammed!

0:12:360:12:37

# Been on this path of life for so long. #

0:12:370:12:43

That's much better.

0:12:440:12:47

For Mohammed to pull off that solo, he has got to just burst onto

0:12:470:12:51

the scene - he's got to be the one who comes to the front and says,

0:12:510:12:54

"I'm here, I'm Mohammed," and then let that sound out.

0:12:540:12:57

I mean, it sounds like a lot to ask at the moment.

0:12:570:13:00

On Children in Need night, Gareth's group must find the confidence

0:13:040:13:07

to lead a nationwide choir.

0:13:070:13:09

Today, they've got to have enough to convince a music producer

0:13:090:13:13

and bands Encore and Wonderland they're the real deal.

0:13:130:13:16

It's time for a new look.

0:13:170:13:19

Your challenge is to get your image

0:13:190:13:23

ready to sell your boyband or girlband.

0:13:230:13:26

Gareth has brought in Alexis Knox, fashion stylist to the stars.

0:13:260:13:30

Her celebrity credentials include Jessie J,

0:13:300:13:32

and Marina and the Diamonds.

0:13:320:13:35

That's a nice white skirt.

0:13:350:13:37

Today she's going to style our scared singers into proper popstars.

0:13:370:13:41

-What do you think, Gareth, is that cool?

-It's a little bit skater dude.

0:13:410:13:44

Being in a band is like being in a tribe - you've got a group identity,

0:13:440:13:48

you have individuals, but you have a very strong image.

0:13:480:13:51

-Would you be up for going a bit all out? Shall we go all out?

-Yeah.

0:13:560:13:59

'Every performer has a stage outfit.'

0:13:590:14:02

You go on stage wearing something

0:14:020:14:04

and it makes you feel like a different person, powerful.

0:14:040:14:07

It's an important part of performing.

0:14:070:14:10

The boys go for the unified look.

0:14:100:14:12

Everyone's got their glasses so we're kind of interlinked.

0:14:120:14:16

While the girls still want to be more individual.

0:14:160:14:19

So, you're the schoolgirl? Charlize is going on holiday...

0:14:190:14:23

You do what you want to do.

0:14:230:14:26

The boys are doing pretty well actually, the girls are looking

0:14:260:14:29

a little bit shocked. Some of their outfits are not quite working.

0:14:290:14:33

-I can't describe this.

-I thought we would need

0:14:330:14:36

a lot more help than the girls, turns out it's the other way round!

0:14:360:14:39

You've got to look like individuals, but you've got to be a bit uniform.

0:14:390:14:43

Alexis zones in on the girls' problem.

0:14:430:14:46

-Perfect.

-And with help from Gareth...

0:14:460:14:48

Yeah, that's a little bit Pocahontas.

0:14:480:14:51

..the girls are finally working together and have their new image.

0:14:510:14:56

I think it's all right, but I don't normally wear pink.

0:14:560:14:59

Now that they've styled themselves I think their performances

0:14:590:15:03

will come alive a bit more cos they'll feel like popstars,

0:15:030:15:06

they'll feel like showmen, and they'll be ready to really perform.

0:15:060:15:10

All they need to know now is who they'll be singing to.

0:15:100:15:13

You are going to need your songs to be absolutely tip top and perfect

0:15:130:15:17

because you are going to be performing them, girls,

0:15:170:15:19

to the latest urban boyband, Encore...

0:15:190:15:24

# Shall we give up, or will we just keep going round again? #

0:15:260:15:30

Encore are the latest boyband to hit the scene.

0:15:300:15:33

These Londoners all sing, write and rap

0:15:330:15:35

and have recently supported Jessie J and N-Dubz on tour.

0:15:350:15:39

And, boys, you are performing to girlband Wonderland.

0:15:390:15:44

# Nothing moves me anymore... #

0:15:440:15:47

Wonderland are an all female five-piece formed by X Factor judge

0:15:470:15:51

Louis Walsh.

0:15:510:15:52

Having supported superstar groups

0:15:520:15:54

such as Boyzone and Westlife,

0:15:540:15:56

they know what makes a convincing boyband performance.

0:15:560:16:00

The nerves are kind of starting to kick in,

0:16:000:16:03

but I'm just trying to keep me happy.

0:16:030:16:06

What makes the ultimate boy and girlbands a success?

0:16:060:16:10

To be a tight-knit group is to look out for each other.

0:16:100:16:14

If someone's having a bad day,

0:16:140:16:16

you've got your buddy to give you some support.

0:16:160:16:18

It's important to be individual and obviously be part of the team

0:16:180:16:22

if you're in a group. Just to express yourself

0:16:220:16:25

and be yourself is the best way to go.

0:16:250:16:28

Today, Mohammed will try out for the Children In Need

0:16:320:16:36

solo spot in front of Wonderland.

0:16:360:16:38

Standing on the arena stage is a massive challenge

0:16:380:16:41

and Gareth wants him to face up to his biggest fear.

0:16:410:16:45

Right, it's time for you to do something

0:16:450:16:48

that you've never done before.

0:16:480:16:50

In that room...is your mother.

0:16:500:16:53

-Have you never sung for her before?

-Nope.

-Never?

-Never.

0:16:570:17:00

Mohammed comes from an academic family.

0:17:000:17:03

His mum's a doctor and has never seen his creative side.

0:17:030:17:07

I'm dreading it. I don't want to sing in front of her

0:17:070:17:09

because I'm scared she won't like my voice.

0:17:090:17:12

I've never heard him sing because he's always been very shy

0:17:130:17:17

so I don't know how good Mohammed is. I don't have any idea.

0:17:170:17:21

Will Mohammed remember what it felt like to break out of the box

0:17:210:17:25

in his session with Gareth and make his mum and himself proud?

0:17:250:17:28

# Come so far and we've... #

0:17:320:17:35

-Can we start again, please?

-OK.

0:17:350:17:37

The pressure is too much for Mohammed.

0:17:370:17:40

-I can't...

-Yes, you can. Oh... It's all right.

0:17:400:17:43

Oh, quick hug.

0:17:440:17:46

-Yeah.

-Come on, sweetheart, you can do it.

0:17:460:17:49

You can do this, I know you can. Break out of the box, Mohammed, yeah?

0:17:530:17:57

Let's go. (One, two, three, four.)

0:17:570:18:00

# Been on this path of life for so long

0:18:000:18:06

# Feels like I've walked a thousand miles

0:18:070:18:10

# Sometimes strolled hand-in-hand with love

0:18:110:18:15

# Everybody's been there

0:18:150:18:18

# Never

0:18:180:18:20

# Forget what you've come here from

0:18:200:18:23

# Never...

0:18:230:18:24

# Never pretend that it's all real

0:18:240:18:27

# Someday... #

0:18:270:18:28

Mohammed has a lovely voice,

0:18:280:18:30

but the fluffed lines have cost him dear

0:18:300:18:33

and he can't make it to the end of the song.

0:18:330:18:35

OK, so looks like you lost your way halfway through.

0:18:350:18:39

You've GOT to keep going, no matter what happens.

0:18:390:18:42

Be in charge of that performance.

0:18:420:18:44

Mohammed gave it a good try, and, for me,

0:18:440:18:48

I think that's more than enough.

0:18:480:18:50

'Singing in front of my mum is the hardest thing I've done in my life.'

0:18:500:18:54

But I did it and I'm pleased with that.

0:18:540:18:58

'I don't want Mohammed to break down'

0:18:580:19:01

just because there's one tiny mistake. He's got to keep going.

0:19:010:19:04

What about second soloist Joan? She needs to tackle her fear

0:19:070:19:11

of people focusing on her when she performs.

0:19:110:19:14

She's always wanted to sing to her mum's choir, but never had the guts.

0:19:140:19:18

All that's about to change.

0:19:180:19:21

-In there is your mum's choir. Do you think you can do this?

-No!

0:19:210:19:25

I think you can, and if you can do this, you can do anything.

0:19:250:19:28

This is a pivotal moment for her.

0:19:280:19:31

She has to get over this fear.

0:19:310:19:32

Because she's a really good singer and performer.

0:19:320:19:35

It's all there just waiting for her to grasp it.

0:19:350:19:38

To see Joan performing in front of my choir,

0:19:400:19:43

it will be very great and amazing.

0:19:430:19:46

That will give her good confidence.

0:19:460:19:48

Joan broke down during her training session with Gareth.

0:19:480:19:52

Now the stakes are raised, will she be able to perform her solo

0:19:520:19:56

without crumbling?

0:19:560:19:58

One, two, three, four.

0:20:000:20:02

# When you're feeling sad or low

0:20:020:20:05

# We will take you where you gotta go

0:20:050:20:08

# Smiling, dancing

0:20:080:20:11

# Everything is free

0:20:110:20:13

# All you need is positivity

0:20:130:20:16

# Colours of the world Spice up your life

0:20:160:20:19

# People of the... Spice up your life

0:20:190:20:21

# Boys and...

0:20:210:20:22

SHE LAUGHS

0:20:220:20:23

# Ahhhh... #

0:20:230:20:24

I actually didn't believe I was going to do this.

0:20:280:20:32

This was the thing I did not want to do and I ended up doing it.

0:20:320:20:36

-It went pretty good.

-I'm really proud of her.

0:20:360:20:38

I'm really proud of Joan.

0:20:380:20:40

That was really tough for Joan

0:20:400:20:43

and I think it'll really help her. It was a big deal for her.

0:20:430:20:46

In a moment, the girls and boys will be going head-to-head

0:20:500:20:54

and every second of practice counts.

0:20:540:20:57

Will their pop performances be worthy of such a superstar stage

0:20:570:21:02

and celebrity audience?

0:21:020:21:03

I hope to see a lot of energy.

0:21:030:21:05

I want to believe their performance.

0:21:050:21:08

It's good to show your individuality

0:21:080:21:10

and show what you're about so that's kind of what I'm looking for today.

0:21:100:21:15

The biggest test today is to impress this man,

0:21:150:21:18

a talent scout who can sign bands and make stars.

0:21:180:21:22

Olivier has worked with some of the biggest names in music,

0:21:220:21:26

like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child,

0:21:260:21:29

But what will he make of our chronically shy performance?

0:21:290:21:33

From the performance, I want to see

0:21:330:21:35

confidence because confidence will win every time.

0:21:350:21:39

With the audience in position, the boys are feeling the heat.

0:21:390:21:43

My biggest fear about doing the solo is that I'm going to

0:21:440:21:47

mess up and forget the words halfway through.

0:21:470:21:50

I hope the whole group can overcome the nerves and perform well.

0:21:500:21:55

To project their image and beat the girls,

0:21:550:21:57

the boys really need to pull off an energetic performance

0:21:570:22:01

that really sells their brand to the audience.

0:22:010:22:04

# We've come so far

0:22:070:22:08

# And we've reached so high... #

0:22:080:22:11

Can Mohammed make it to the end of the song without breaking down?

0:22:110:22:15

# Been on this path of life for so long

0:22:150:22:21

# Feel I've walked a thousand miles

0:22:210:22:26

# Sometimes hold hand-in-hand with love

0:22:260:22:31

# Everybody's been there

0:22:310:22:34

# Just didn't realise what a fool I could be

0:22:340:22:37

# Just cos I looked so high you don't have to see me

0:22:380:22:44

# Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still

0:22:440:22:48

# There's a road going down the other side of this hill

0:22:480:22:52

# And never forget where you're coming from

0:22:520:22:57

# Never pretend that it's all real

0:22:570:23:02

# And someday

0:23:020:23:04

# Soon this will all be someone else's dream

0:23:040:23:08

# This will be someone else's dream

0:23:080:23:13

# Yeah. #

0:23:130:23:15

I thought it was fantastic. Better than what I was expecting.

0:23:170:23:21

They impressed me.

0:23:210:23:22

The boys performed well, but as soon as they're off-stage,

0:23:220:23:26

-they become disappointed.

-I think I ruined it for everyone.

0:23:260:23:30

I don't think it was enough to beat the girls

0:23:300:23:33

unless they muck up big-time.

0:23:330:23:35

It's the girls' turn, but while they wait in the wings,

0:23:350:23:39

Joan becomes paralysed by fear.

0:23:390:23:42

-OK?

-I can't do it.

0:23:420:23:43

I know it's only four people, but I can't do it.

0:23:430:23:47

'I think the competition is very, very close.'

0:23:470:23:50

The boys are singing well.

0:23:500:23:51

The girls, if they pull off that energy,

0:23:510:23:54

-it could be great.

-It's OK.

0:23:540:23:57

I'll try and stay focused

0:23:590:24:01

because I don't want to let the girls down so I'll try my best.

0:24:010:24:05

# La la la la la la la la la

0:24:080:24:12

# La la la la la la la la

0:24:130:24:15

# When you're feeling sad and low

0:24:170:24:21

# We will show you where you gotta go

0:24:210:24:25

# Smiling, dancing, everything is free

0:24:250:24:29

# All you need is positivity

0:24:290:24:33

-# Colours of the world

-Spice up your life

0:24:330:24:35

-# Every boy and every girl

-Spice up your life

0:24:350:24:37

-# People of the world

-Spice up your life

0:24:370:24:40

# Aaahh!

0:24:400:24:41

# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time

0:24:410:24:43

# Shake it to the right If you know that you feel fine

0:24:430:24:46

# Chicas to the front Uh-huh, go around

0:24:460:24:49

# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time

0:24:490:24:51

# Shake it to the right If you know that you feel fine

0:24:510:24:54

# Chicas to the front Hai si ja, hold tight!

0:24:540:24:57

# Yeah! #

0:24:570:24:59

Yeah, I was impressed. Definitely.

0:24:590:25:01

All in all, I think it was a cool performance.

0:25:010:25:04

Soloist Joan held the group together

0:25:040:25:07

and they put in a girlband-worthy performance.

0:25:070:25:10

-I just think it went great.

-I think we have done enough to beat the boys

0:25:100:25:14

because we had our personality into it.

0:25:140:25:17

Both groups have sung,

0:25:170:25:19

but which one's stuck with the music industry insider?

0:25:190:25:22

-It's got to have confidence, power and a bit of showbiz.

-Yes.

0:25:220:25:26

The girls had elements of that, but the boys,

0:25:260:25:29

on the other hand, has more precision.

0:25:290:25:31

It's coming down to which performance was better as a whole.

0:25:310:25:35

That one?

0:25:350:25:36

I think they just edge it.

0:25:380:25:39

Right, let's tell them.

0:25:390:25:41

It's crunch time.

0:25:440:25:45

Will the boys or girls get their hands on the trophy?

0:25:450:25:48

To come up here and see you guys perform as you did today,

0:25:480:25:53

-you've done really well.

-We wanted a performance

0:25:530:25:56

that could fill a room like this.

0:25:560:25:59

It was a tough decision, but the winning group is...

0:26:010:26:04

..the girls.

0:26:080:26:10

Yay!

0:26:100:26:11

Well done, girls.

0:26:110:26:13

Really good, congratulations. Give them a round of applause, guys.

0:26:130:26:17

THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER

0:26:180:26:21

It was a really hard decision, but the girls just pipped it

0:26:210:26:25

because they gave a performance that felt ready for the stage.

0:26:250:26:29

It just came together more than the boys.

0:26:290:26:31

The boys looked intimidated and that's what we've got to get over.

0:26:310:26:35

Today we saw Mohammed and Joan try out for the solo spot,

0:26:360:26:40

but what are their chances taking centre stage at Children In Need?

0:26:400:26:45

I really want to rate Mohammed's chances at being soloist as high,

0:26:450:26:49

but if something went wrong, I'd worry for him

0:26:490:26:52

that he'd fall apart on stage, so, medium-high.

0:26:520:26:55

I'm really pleased with Joan. She's got it.

0:26:550:26:58

She's got a good voice. With a bit of encouragement and work,

0:26:580:27:02

she could do really well.

0:27:020:27:04

I'm give her a high chance of being The Big Performance soloist.

0:27:040:27:08

Next time on The Big Performance 2, the stakes are raised...

0:27:100:27:13

Let's get it right. We're talking about quality.

0:27:130:27:17

..the group get a celebrity introduction to British soul...

0:27:170:27:20

..and take on an extra special performance with no second chances.

0:27:220:27:26

It is the most important thing of our life and we could wreck it.
