Last year on The Big Performance, ten terrified kids found the courage | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
to sing to an audience of 40,000 at Proms in the Park. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
The Big Performance is the biggest cheer of the night. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
But for this year's kids, the challenge is much bigger | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
and much scarier - singing live on BBC One to an audience | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
of 11 million on Children in Need night. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
This is the biggest thing I've ever done, and I'm scared. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Today it's boys versus girls, as they must perform in front of real pop stars. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
-This week, there's nowhere to hide. -And the pressure is ramped up. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Everybody has to have a say! | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
The winning group is... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
This is The Big Performance 2. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Ten talented children, bullied for singing... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
When you get...bullied, you believe them. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
..now too shy to perform in public... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
I just can't do it. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
..must find the strength to sing to the nation live on Children in Need night. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
They need captivating choir master Gareth Malone to help banish performance nerves. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
They're shy, but they've GOT to face up to this challenge. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-Last time, the timid performers turned into singer-songwriters... -What else can we say in the chorus? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
-Our sentence is served? -That's great. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
..and debuted live on Radio London. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
-That was amazing! -I can't believe I just did that! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Today the Big Performance bus is pulling up in the musical Mecca of Manchester, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
where some of the world's most successful pop and rock stars, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
including Oasis and Take That, have originated. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Five weeks into their musical journey, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Gareth wants to shake things up a bit. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
This week is going to be really exciting. We're not learning | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
one song, we're learning two - one for the boys and one for the girls. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
The competition is on. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
This week, we're going to do things a little bit differently, follow me. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
Gareth has brought the group to Manchester's | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
premier performance venue, the MEN Arena. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
It's time to find out who'll be stepping into the solo spotlight | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
on this stage later today. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Everyone who's already done their solo step back. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
OK. Imogen... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
..it could be you. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
James... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
..it's not you, step back. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Joan... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
it could be you. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Sasha... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
..it's not you, step back. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Mohammed... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
..you are the soloist. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Oh, my God, no! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
And Joan... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
you are the other soloist. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
I'm really confident with my school work, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
I just wish I could be confident with my singing, too. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
I dream of being a performer, but I just don't know how they do it. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
The way Gareth announced that it'd be different, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
I thought we weren't going to have a soloist, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
so it's really scaring me. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
So, that's the soloists sorted, what about the songs? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
The musical theme this week is really good fun, it is... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
boybands and girlbands! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
THEY SCREAM | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
That's right, today is a Big Performance first - | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
the boys and girls are going head to head. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Boybands - why?! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
'I really love the music theme.' | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I'm going to do it for the girls and show them what we're made of. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Girl power! | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
Up till now, the group's been relying on one or two of the strongest | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
singers, but with boys vs girls, this week there's nowhere to hide. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
With a capacity of 21,000, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
a huge arena like this is used to being filled | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
by acts like Justin Bieber and Madonna, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
so this timid group will have to learn fast | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
how to get their performance as big as the venue. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Will it be the girls or the boys putting in | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
superstar performances later today? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
OK, so, girls, your song... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
MASSIVE hit for... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
one of the biggest girlbands, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
if not THE biggest girlband ever, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
it's Spice up Your Life | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
by the Spice Girls! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
# Shake it to the right... # | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
The Spice Girls burst onto the music scene in the '90s | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
with attitude and personality. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
They've sold over 55 million albums worldwide | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
and are hailed as the best-selling girl group ever. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
# La, la, la, la, la... # | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Boys, you are going to be performing an enormous hit, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
Take That.. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
..and the song is Never Forget. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
No, no, no, this is the song. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
# Never forget where you're coming from... # | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
Take That are THE boyband to rival all others. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
They're still going strong after 11 number one hits | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
and multiple music awards. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
As famous for their good looks and personalities | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
as their singing, the boys have got a lot to live up to. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
It's straight to work for the new pop bands. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
# We've come so far and we've reached so high | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
# And we've looked each day and night in the eye | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
# And we're still so young and we hope for more. # | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
Vocally speaking, you're sounding really strong and you're putting | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
lots of energy into it. | 0:05:58 | 0:05:59 | |
'The boys are doing brilliantly, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
they're going for it - they're trying' | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
to overcome their fears by singing and not just wimping out of it, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
and I'm really impressed by that. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
I thought we could start like this. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
The competition with the girls | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
has given these normally shy boys a focus. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
When we do "someone else's dream," | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-then we can all drop to our knees for the final one. -For the last one, yeah. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
I really want to beat the girls. There's six of them, and there's | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
four of us it would just humiliate them so much if we beat them. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
# Someday soon this will all be someone else's dream. # | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
-' -I think that the girls are getting a run for their money' | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
because our song is sounding awesome at the moment. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
More preoccupied with choosing a Spice name, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
the girls haven't even started singing yet. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-I'm Sporty Spice. -I'm Sporty! -I'm Scary Spice. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Can I be Scary? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Can I be the red-haired one? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
In six weeks', the shy singers will be performing live | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
to 11 million viewers on Children in Need night. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
OK, girls, can I see what you've got so far? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
It's crucial they throw themselves into each new challenge | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
from the start. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
THEY SING INCOHERENTLY | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
GIGGLING | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Right, pause it a sec. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
OK, pause it. One, two, three... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
# Slam it to the left... # | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Oh, dear, no, no, no. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
# Slam it to the left if you're having a good time! # | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Go for it! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
# Slam it to the left if you're having a good time | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
# Shake it to the front if you know that you feel fine | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
# Shake it to the front and go round. # | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
It just feels like everyone's waiting for someone else. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
At the moment the boys are all going, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
like they're trying to beat each other, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
I think we need the same competition with the girls, go for it. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
At the moment, it doesn't look like the girls are working hard enough. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
I think they think that someone else is going to sing, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
but they've got to realise it's down to them, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
they've got to find that Girl Power. At the moment, they don't have it. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
They haven't got long to find it because what they don't know is | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
there's a massive challenge ahead. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
The performance this week is intimidating - not only are they | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
performing for an A&R man from a record company, | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
but the girls are going to be performing for a boyband... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
and the boys are going to be performing for a girlband. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
I mean, that is scary. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
Successful boy and girlbands work well as a group, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
but stand out as individuals, too. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-# Never... # -The girls have got the individual bit right... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-You try and be the boss... -Shh, Claudia! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
But everybody has to have a say, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
everybody has to have a say. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Oh, just get on with it. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
The girls creative differences are threatening | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
to ruin their performance. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
There's a lot resting on soloist Joan. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
'I'm so nervous because I think I'll look stupid or silly.' | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
There's another me that goes, "Oh, Joan, just express yourself, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
"feel free," but I can't get that me to stay. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Joan has a real block when it comes to singing | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
and she desperately wants to change. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
She loves RnB, especially Rihanna, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
but if she wants to be as expressive as her, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
she needs to start believing in herself. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Gareth was blown away by Joan's voice when they first met. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
# Amazing Grace... # | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
But she's terrified of people looking at her when she sings | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-and it's affecting how she feels about herself. -I think you are | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
one of the most talented people in the group. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-I don't think I'm talented. -Well, listen, I do, | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
but...you sometimes show it. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Gareth has a technique to help her face her fear, and herself. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
One, two, three and go! | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
# When you're feeling...# | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Would you pay money to see that, Joan? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
That girl in the mirror can sing. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
That girl in the mirror is talented. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Gareth's words of encouragement have the opposite effect. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
I'm serious, you've got a really nice voice. What's the matter? Oh, honey, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Joan has an extreme reaction to performing, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
something Gareth realised during the karaoke challenge. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Are you OK, Joan, you all right? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-Joan, it's all right. What are you worried about? -I don't know. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
No, I don't either. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
It's going to be OK. I really, really feel | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
that you have great ability. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Yeah? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Come on, let's stand up straight and let's do it now, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
let's be that confident Joan. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
One, two, three, and go! | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
# When you're feeling sad and low... # | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
'Joan has the ability to really stand out, she draws attention' | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
and she just doesn't believe in herself. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
When I said she was talented, she rejected that completely. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
And I meant it, I think she has ability, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
but she just doesn't know it yet. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
It's not just Joan who needs to work on her self-esteem - | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
Mohammed is taking centre stage for the boys | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
and it's his turn for some solo training with Gareth. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
I want to be noticed, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
but I can't let my inner performance shine cos I'm too shy to do it. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
Hardworking Mohammed is focused when it comes to his school work, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
but his low self-esteem has made him performance-shy. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
He's desperate to be noticed, and is inspired by Lady Gaga, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
but the bullies in the past have made his dream impossible. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
At his audition, Gareth saw the potential in Mohammed. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
# I am beautiful, no matter what they say... # | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
But he couldn't see it in himself. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
I've always had really low self-esteem, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
I've never, ever, been confident at all. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
To help Mohammed find his inner performer, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Gareth has a special prop. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
Inside this box is where you are trapped at the moment. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
And I want you to burst out of it. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
Get inside. You'll be fine. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
OK, that's it, ready? OK, so, here we go. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
I want you to burst out of this box. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
He wants to be expressive, he wants to be free, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
but he just can't because he's imprisoned by fear. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
Two, three, and...! | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
# Been on this path of life for so long. # | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
Mohammed, did you burst out of the box. No? No, I want "Been!" | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
I'm here, Mohammed is here! | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
# Been... # Better, and...! | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-# Been! # -Good, but where's the smiling face? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
# Been | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
# On this path of life for so long. # | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Mohammed! | 0:12:36 | 0:12:37 | |
# Been on this path of life for so long. # | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
That's much better. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
For Mohammed to pull off that solo, he has got to just burst onto | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
the scene - he's got to be the one who comes to the front and says, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
"I'm here, I'm Mohammed," and then let that sound out. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
I mean, it sounds like a lot to ask at the moment. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
On Children in Need night, Gareth's group must find the confidence | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
to lead a nationwide choir. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
Today, they've got to have enough to convince a music producer | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
and bands Encore and Wonderland they're the real deal. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
It's time for a new look. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Your challenge is to get your image | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
ready to sell your boyband or girlband. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Gareth has brought in Alexis Knox, fashion stylist to the stars. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
Her celebrity credentials include Jessie J, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
and Marina and the Diamonds. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
That's a nice white skirt. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Today she's going to style our scared singers into proper popstars. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
-What do you think, Gareth, is that cool? -It's a little bit skater dude. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Being in a band is like being in a tribe - you've got a group identity, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
you have individuals, but you have a very strong image. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-Would you be up for going a bit all out? Shall we go all out? -Yeah. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
'Every performer has a stage outfit.' | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
You go on stage wearing something | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
and it makes you feel like a different person, powerful. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
It's an important part of performing. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
The boys go for the unified look. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
Everyone's got their glasses so we're kind of interlinked. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
While the girls still want to be more individual. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
So, you're the schoolgirl? Charlize is going on holiday... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
You do what you want to do. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
The boys are doing pretty well actually, the girls are looking | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
a little bit shocked. Some of their outfits are not quite working. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-I can't describe this. -I thought we would need | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
a lot more help than the girls, turns out it's the other way round! | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
You've got to look like individuals, but you've got to be a bit uniform. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
Alexis zones in on the girls' problem. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-Perfect. -And with help from Gareth... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Yeah, that's a little bit Pocahontas. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
..the girls are finally working together and have their new image. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
I think it's all right, but I don't normally wear pink. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Now that they've styled themselves I think their performances | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
will come alive a bit more cos they'll feel like popstars, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
they'll feel like showmen, and they'll be ready to really perform. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
All they need to know now is who they'll be singing to. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
You are going to need your songs to be absolutely tip top and perfect | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
because you are going to be performing them, girls, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
to the latest urban boyband, Encore... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
# Shall we give up, or will we just keep going round again? # | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
Encore are the latest boyband to hit the scene. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
These Londoners all sing, write and rap | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
and have recently supported Jessie J and N-Dubz on tour. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
And, boys, you are performing to girlband Wonderland. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
# Nothing moves me anymore... # | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Wonderland are an all female five-piece formed by X Factor judge | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
Louis Walsh. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
Having supported superstar groups | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
such as Boyzone and Westlife, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
they know what makes a convincing boyband performance. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
The nerves are kind of starting to kick in, | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
but I'm just trying to keep me happy. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
What makes the ultimate boy and girlbands a success? | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
To be a tight-knit group is to look out for each other. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
If someone's having a bad day, | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
you've got your buddy to give you some support. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
It's important to be individual and obviously be part of the team | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
if you're in a group. Just to express yourself | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
and be yourself is the best way to go. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Today, Mohammed will try out for the Children In Need | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
solo spot in front of Wonderland. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Standing on the arena stage is a massive challenge | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
and Gareth wants him to face up to his biggest fear. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
Right, it's time for you to do something | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
that you've never done before. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
In that room...is your mother. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Have you never sung for her before? -Nope. -Never? -Never. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
Mohammed comes from an academic family. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
His mum's a doctor and has never seen his creative side. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
I'm dreading it. I don't want to sing in front of her | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
because I'm scared she won't like my voice. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
I've never heard him sing because he's always been very shy | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
so I don't know how good Mohammed is. I don't have any idea. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
Will Mohammed remember what it felt like to break out of the box | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
in his session with Gareth and make his mum and himself proud? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
# Come so far and we've... # | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
-Can we start again, please? -OK. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
The pressure is too much for Mohammed. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
-I can't... -Yes, you can. Oh... It's all right. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
Oh, quick hug. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-Yeah. -Come on, sweetheart, you can do it. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
You can do this, I know you can. Break out of the box, Mohammed, yeah? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Let's go. (One, two, three, four.) | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
# Been on this path of life for so long | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
# Feels like I've walked a thousand miles | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
# Sometimes strolled hand-in-hand with love | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
# Everybody's been there | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
# Never | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
# Forget what you've come here from | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
# Never... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:24 | |
# Never pretend that it's all real | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
# Someday... # | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
Mohammed has a lovely voice, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
but the fluffed lines have cost him dear | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
and he can't make it to the end of the song. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
OK, so looks like you lost your way halfway through. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
You've GOT to keep going, no matter what happens. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Be in charge of that performance. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
Mohammed gave it a good try, and, for me, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
I think that's more than enough. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
'Singing in front of my mum is the hardest thing I've done in my life.' | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
But I did it and I'm pleased with that. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
'I don't want Mohammed to break down' | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
just because there's one tiny mistake. He's got to keep going. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
What about second soloist Joan? She needs to tackle her fear | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
of people focusing on her when she performs. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
She's always wanted to sing to her mum's choir, but never had the guts. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
All that's about to change. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-In there is your mum's choir. Do you think you can do this? -No! | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
I think you can, and if you can do this, you can do anything. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
This is a pivotal moment for her. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
She has to get over this fear. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
Because she's a really good singer and performer. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
It's all there just waiting for her to grasp it. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
To see Joan performing in front of my choir, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
it will be very great and amazing. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
That will give her good confidence. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
Joan broke down during her training session with Gareth. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Now the stakes are raised, will she be able to perform her solo | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
without crumbling? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
One, two, three, four. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
# When you're feeling sad or low | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
# We will take you where you gotta go | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
# Smiling, dancing | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
# Everything is free | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
# All you need is positivity | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
# Colours of the world Spice up your life | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
# People of the... Spice up your life | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
# Boys and... | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
# Ahhhh... # | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
I actually didn't believe I was going to do this. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
This was the thing I did not want to do and I ended up doing it. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-It went pretty good. -I'm really proud of her. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
I'm really proud of Joan. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
That was really tough for Joan | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
and I think it'll really help her. It was a big deal for her. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
In a moment, the girls and boys will be going head-to-head | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
and every second of practice counts. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
Will their pop performances be worthy of such a superstar stage | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
and celebrity audience? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
I hope to see a lot of energy. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
I want to believe their performance. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
It's good to show your individuality | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
and show what you're about so that's kind of what I'm looking for today. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
The biggest test today is to impress this man, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
a talent scout who can sign bands and make stars. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Olivier has worked with some of the biggest names in music, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child, | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
But what will he make of our chronically shy performance? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
From the performance, I want to see | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
confidence because confidence will win every time. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
With the audience in position, the boys are feeling the heat. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
My biggest fear about doing the solo is that I'm going to | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
mess up and forget the words halfway through. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I hope the whole group can overcome the nerves and perform well. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
To project their image and beat the girls, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
the boys really need to pull off an energetic performance | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
that really sells their brand to the audience. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
# We've come so far | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
# And we've reached so high... # | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
Can Mohammed make it to the end of the song without breaking down? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
# Been on this path of life for so long | 0:22:15 | 0:22:21 | |
# Feel I've walked a thousand miles | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
# Sometimes hold hand-in-hand with love | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
# Everybody's been there | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
# Just didn't realise what a fool I could be | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
# Just cos I looked so high you don't have to see me | 0:22:38 | 0:22:44 | |
# Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
# There's a road going down the other side of this hill | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
# And never forget where you're coming from | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
# Never pretend that it's all real | 0:22:57 | 0:23:02 | |
# And someday | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
# Soon this will all be someone else's dream | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
# This will be someone else's dream | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
# Yeah. # | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
I thought it was fantastic. Better than what I was expecting. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
They impressed me. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
The boys performed well, but as soon as they're off-stage, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-they become disappointed. -I think I ruined it for everyone. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
I don't think it was enough to beat the girls | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
unless they muck up big-time. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
It's the girls' turn, but while they wait in the wings, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Joan becomes paralysed by fear. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
-OK? -I can't do it. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:43 | |
I know it's only four people, but I can't do it. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
'I think the competition is very, very close.' | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
The boys are singing well. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
The girls, if they pull off that energy, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
-it could be great. -It's OK. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
I'll try and stay focused | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
because I don't want to let the girls down so I'll try my best. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
# La la la la la la la la la | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
# La la la la la la la la | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
# When you're feeling sad and low | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
# We will show you where you gotta go | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
# Smiling, dancing, everything is free | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
# All you need is positivity | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
-# Colours of the world -Spice up your life | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
-# Every boy and every girl -Spice up your life | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
-# People of the world -Spice up your life | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
# Aaahh! | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
# Shake it to the right If you know that you feel fine | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
# Chicas to the front Uh-huh, go around | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
# Slam it to the left If you're having a good time | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
# Shake it to the right If you know that you feel fine | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
# Chicas to the front Hai si ja, hold tight! | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
# Yeah! # | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Yeah, I was impressed. Definitely. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
All in all, I think it was a cool performance. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Soloist Joan held the group together | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
and they put in a girlband-worthy performance. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
-I just think it went great. -I think we have done enough to beat the boys | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
because we had our personality into it. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Both groups have sung, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
but which one's stuck with the music industry insider? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
-It's got to have confidence, power and a bit of showbiz. -Yes. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
The girls had elements of that, but the boys, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
on the other hand, has more precision. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
It's coming down to which performance was better as a whole. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
That one? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:36 | |
I think they just edge it. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
Right, let's tell them. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
It's crunch time. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Will the boys or girls get their hands on the trophy? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
To come up here and see you guys perform as you did today, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
-you've done really well. -We wanted a performance | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
that could fill a room like this. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
It was a tough decision, but the winning group is... | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
..the girls. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Yay! | 0:26:10 | 0:26:11 | |
Well done, girls. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Really good, congratulations. Give them a round of applause, guys. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
It was a really hard decision, but the girls just pipped it | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
because they gave a performance that felt ready for the stage. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
It just came together more than the boys. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
The boys looked intimidated and that's what we've got to get over. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
Today we saw Mohammed and Joan try out for the solo spot, | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
but what are their chances taking centre stage at Children In Need? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:45 | |
I really want to rate Mohammed's chances at being soloist as high, | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
but if something went wrong, I'd worry for him | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
that he'd fall apart on stage, so, medium-high. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
I'm really pleased with Joan. She's got it. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
She's got a good voice. With a bit of encouragement and work, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
