0:00:02 > 0:00:05Last year on The Big Performance, ten terrified kids found
0:00:05 > 0:00:09the courage to sing to an audience of 40,000 at Proms In The Park.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16'The Big Performance gets the biggest cheer of the night!'
0:00:16 > 0:00:19But for this year's kids the challenge is much bigger
0:00:19 > 0:00:20and much scarier -
0:00:20 > 0:00:23singing live on BBC1 to an audience of 11 million
0:00:23 > 0:00:25on Children In Need night.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28This is the biggest thing I've ever done. I'm scared.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Now at the halfway mark, Gareth is getting tougher...
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Let's get it absolutely right, we're talking about quality.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38..The challenges are getting more extreme...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41You're going to be performing in front of a group of boys.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Oh!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44..The surprises keep coming...
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I love you!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Oh, I love you, too!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52..And they face their most important performance yet.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55You are going to be singing this at someone's wedding.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56THEY GASP AND GROAN
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm really scared.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Oh-oh-oh-oh!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02This is The Big Performance 2.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28These ten children love to sing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- # La...- Ley...- Oh... #
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But have been silenced by bullies.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37When I was a kid I used to get bullied a lot about singing.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39They made me feel like I'm not good enough.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Now choirmaster Gareth Malone is taking them on a musical journey
0:01:43 > 0:01:46to get them confident enough to sing to millions
0:01:46 > 0:01:48live on Children In Need night.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I KNOW they're shy but they've got to face up to this challenge.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Last time, it was boys versus girls as the group went head to head.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I really want to beat the girls.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01And sung for REAL pop stars.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I just ruined it for everyone.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04I can't do it.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06After the girls' victory,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09can the whole group come back together to raise their game?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11It's week six, they need to REALLY go for it.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Today the Big Performance tour bus is pulling up in the South West
0:02:16 > 0:02:20at a very British music venue just outside Bristol.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25This is Aston Court - a grand estate that's played host to classical,
0:02:25 > 0:02:30rock and pop gigs, including Plan B and Portishead.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33It's a musical legacy Gareth hopes will inspire the group.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We're getting to the point where the focus has to be
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the quality of the singing,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43not just the enthusiasm. It's going to be difficult for them.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- So far Molly... - # Oh... #
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- ..Charlize... - # Let's rock... #
0:02:47 > 0:02:48- ..Taylor... - # Me... #
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- ..Mohammed... - # Ee-eee... #
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- ..and Joan... - # Positivity... #
0:02:52 > 0:02:56..have all taken on the solo. Five names remain.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Who will Gareth chose to step into the spotlight next?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Morning, everybody. ALL: Morning!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04This week's soloist is...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Ge... Imogen!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10CHEERING
0:03:10 > 0:03:15I'm feeling a bit scared but I think I'll get through it, hopefully.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Fingers crossed.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21My favourite type of music is indie and a LITTLE bit of folk.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26In just five weeks, the group will sing live to millions
0:03:26 > 0:03:28on Children In Need night,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32so Gareth wants them to raise their game with this week's music style.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35This is a really appropriate place for this week's theme...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37British soul.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39ALL: What?!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Plan B. ALL: Oh!
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Yeah?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Amy Winehouse.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44ALL: Oo-oh!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49# She said I love you boy I love you so... #
0:03:49 > 0:03:51British soul is a mixture of Jazz, R'n'B and reggae
0:03:51 > 0:03:57and comes from the hugely successful American soul sound of the 1960s.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The songs are melodic with heartfelt vocals
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and need to be sung with precision.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Today's British soul artists, such as Plan B and Adele,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07dominate the UK charts.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Now, this is going to be very difficult this week
0:04:10 > 0:04:13because we're doing a very emotional song.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14The artist is...
0:04:16 > 0:04:17..Adele.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19ALL: Yes! Yes!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And the song is...
0:04:21 > 0:04:23One And Only.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27# You've been on my mind
0:04:27 > 0:04:30# I grow fonder every day... #
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Adele is one of Britain's most successful soul artists.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Her debut album went four times platinum
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and she's already won two Grammys.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41One And Only is a heartfelt love song
0:04:41 > 0:04:45about one person persuading the other to take a chance on love.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Good song?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48ALL: Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It's a BEAUTIFUL song, so there we are...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52one for our soloist.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Singing a love song is a bit awkward,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59because it's a bit soppy and I don't really like songs like that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Let's start by learning the chorus.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Crucially, this is all about the quality of your singing.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The shy singers are over halfway through their musical training
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and Gareth is raising the bar.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15# You'll never know if you never try. #
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Let's get it absolutely right,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21this is where we're talking about quality.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22'It's week six.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'There aren't many weeks before we sing at Children In Need.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'And they NEED to up their game.'
0:05:27 > 0:05:29They need to REALLY go for it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31And they need to make a good quality sound.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35ALL: # You'll never know if you never try... #
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Almost, but I just get the impression that one or to of us are like,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41"Yeah, whatever." Let's get it right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44# You'll never know... #
0:05:44 > 0:05:49ALL: # You'll never know if you never try. #
0:05:49 > 0:05:52# I dare you to let me be your... #
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Good, that's getting there. It's getting much better.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Let's look at the beginning. This is going to be your solo, Imogen.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02# You've been on my mind. #
0:06:02 > 0:06:04# You've been on my mind. #
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Nice to meet you. You nervous?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10For Imogen, singing alone fills her with fear,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13as Gareth found out when they first met.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15When I was in Year 7,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I was up on stage and all these boys laughed at me,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22calling me nasty names and saying "You've got a really rubbish voice."
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Then I've never sung again. - Never?- No.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'She's exactly the sort of person that you think,'
0:06:30 > 0:06:33"Why shouldn't you sing? Why should people stop you? No reason."
0:06:33 > 0:06:38We've got to make her feel all right about her own voice, that's the key.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41She has to feel that it's OK for her to open her mouth in public
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and that people will like it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46# To let my doubts go... #
0:06:46 > 0:06:49'I found it quite hard to sing my solo
0:06:49 > 0:06:51'because I didn't really know it.'
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I still don't really like singing in front of people still.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59'I'm trying to jump over that hurdle.'
0:06:59 > 0:07:01# You're the only one that I want. #
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Good!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06OK, so all we have to do is get you to share that and convey the emotion.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Really good, good start. OK, everyone.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Successful British soul performers really identify
0:07:12 > 0:07:13with the emotional lyrics.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16The group need to sing with more feeling.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I have got, right here, some signs.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24These signs are to help you to convey emotion.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Go.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30# I dare you to let me be
0:07:30 > 0:07:33# Your one and only. #
0:07:33 > 0:07:35OK, good.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36# I dare you...#
0:07:36 > 0:07:39# I dare you to let me be your... #
0:07:39 > 0:07:42OK, good. Go.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46# I dare you to let me be your... #
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Good. That's how you sounded this morning.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Now we're going to sound like this.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54# I dare you to let me be your... #
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It actually sounds so much better when we do it like that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01As the timid performers start to sing with more passion,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Gareth drops a bombshell.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07We're going to be performing this somewhere where quality of singing
0:08:07 > 0:08:12really, really, really matters.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Because you are going to be singing this at someone's wedding.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20ALL: Oh!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm really scared I'm going to mess it up, because it's their day.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm going to make it as special as I can.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Really nervous about singing at the wedding.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's the most important thing of their life
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and we kind of think, "Oh, are we going to wreck it?"
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Later, the group will be performing Adele's love song, One And Only,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44at the wedding of Kelly and Mark.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Their performance will set the tone for the whole day.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Gareth has brought in a celebrity friend to help prepare
0:08:51 > 0:08:53for the task ahead.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57This person has been really making waves in the music industry.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58And it is...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Dionne Bromfield.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Here she is.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I love you!- Ah, I love you too.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Dionne is going to perform for us with her guitarist.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- What are you going to sing? - This one is called Get Over it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21# You're staring at your phone all day
0:09:21 > 0:09:26# Waiting for a text to come
0:09:26 > 0:09:31# From a boy that barely knows your name
0:09:31 > 0:09:34# But you think that he's the one... #
0:09:34 > 0:09:36As soon as Dionne started singing,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39you could see they were all absolutely hooked.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42She drew them in and conveyed the emotion of the song.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45# ..Tell it like it is... #
0:09:45 > 0:09:47'It's simple.'
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You just focus on the words, the emotion
0:09:49 > 0:09:51and communicate with your audience.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56# ..You can't make somebody love you
0:09:56 > 0:09:59# So mate, just get over it
0:09:59 > 0:10:02# O-oh, oh
0:10:02 > 0:10:05# O-oh, oh
0:10:05 > 0:10:06# Oh, whoa, whoa
0:10:06 > 0:10:09# Whoa. #
0:10:09 > 0:10:12APPLAUSE
0:10:15 > 0:10:20I think the most important thing to say is, Dionne, how old are you?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- I'm 15.- 15.- My God!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24LAUGHTER
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Dionne is only a few years older than you
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and look how confident she is. Have you got any questions for her?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Well, I'm the soloist. Is there any advice which you could give to me?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Be yourself, that's the main thing. Just be you and not someone else.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Sasha?- Have you always been really confident?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Oh, no. Oh, no.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Definitely not. I used to be so scared to sing.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Before, I used to feel like,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51"People will hate me," though I hadn't sung.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The main thing is I'm sure you've got amazing voices,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56so just use it. It's a talent.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You've got it, so be proud of it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Great, thank you. Give her a round of applause.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Amazing, I loved it!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06SHE GIGGLES
0:11:06 > 0:11:09To think that she's only 15 and only a few years older than us,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12it's amazing. It's really inspiring.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17Her words have really encouraged me and I'm going to do my best for her.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Dionne's confident performance is an inspiration to all of the group,
0:11:21 > 0:11:26but this week it's down to Imogen to prove she too can take centre stage.
0:11:27 > 0:11:3113-year-old Imogen lives half at home with Mum, Dad
0:11:31 > 0:11:34and little sister, and half at boarding school.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39She loves music and rocking out to favourite band Two Door Cinema Club.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46From day one, Imogen has been one of the quietest singers in the group...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You've really got to move your mouth, naming no names at all...Imogen.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER
0:11:51 > 0:11:54..and has struggled to face up to the performance challenges.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Come and stand over here.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01'What's holding her back at the moment is her fear of an audience.'
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Specifically a fear of boys.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06When she's with the rest of the group, she hardly sings at all.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I have to get her past that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09And one.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- # You've been on my mind - # You've been on my mind
0:12:12 > 0:12:15# You've been on my mind. # Try that?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17# You've been on my mind. #
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Imogen, what we need is to see a very different side
0:12:21 > 0:12:22of your personality.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Is the rest of your family shy?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26No.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- My mum's not shy at all. - What about your dad?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33He's in the army, so he just tells people what to do.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38So it is in your family. I'm going to try a little experiment.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I have here this officer's cap.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'd like you to put it on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47There we are. You are now in charge
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and I am going to be your soldier
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and I want you to order me
0:12:53 > 0:12:56through these cones.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59OK?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I'm not going to move unless you give me a proper order.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Imogen suffers from a stutter,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08so this challenge will take her completely out of her comfort zone.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12OK, move to the first cone.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Please?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Can you please...?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Right, move to the first cone.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Move to that orange cone there.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Move fast!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Move to the fifth one.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37MOVE NOW!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Good, that's it. That's real authority.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You've got real authority there.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45'She has the ability and she needs to realise that herself.'
0:13:45 > 0:13:48That she can stand up in front of a room and she can command.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52You're quite powerful. You've got a loud voice.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Let's leave the hat on and just try again.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56HE PLAYS PIANO
0:13:56 > 0:14:00# You've been on my mind
0:14:00 > 0:14:04# I grow fonder every day... #
0:14:04 > 0:14:09'Imogen is a person with bags of personality, waiting to come out.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11'She can do this, she can give an order,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14'she can stand up and sing if she believes in herself.'
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And she's got a difficult song.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Fine, good. We are almost there. I'm going to take your hat back.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I need to see this when you're singing.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I know that you can do this and I know you've had a stutter,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I know you've been bullied,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32but I don't think it's destroyed Imogen, has it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Because you're quite tough, I think.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Can you do it?- Yeah.- Good, thank you. Good girl.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40'I don't really like shouting at people,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43'so that was quite hard. But I did it and it felt really good after.'
0:14:43 > 0:14:48I'm going to just sing as loud as I can and just enjoy myself
0:14:48 > 0:14:52and not care what everybody thinks.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57All eyes will be on Imogen and the group
0:14:57 > 0:15:00when they perform at the wedding later on.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03They need to take to the stage like stars.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's very important, when you're on stage,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07to not care what other people think.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You need to get lost.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Get lost in your performance, get lost in yourself
0:15:11 > 0:15:14and that's when you'll be the best you can.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think it's always the best to be yourself
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and show your true personality when you're on stage.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22That's when the audience can tell if you're a true performer.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25You have to be yourself and I think you do have to have the courage
0:15:25 > 0:15:28to just go out there and put what you are out there.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Soul singers are known for their heartfelt performances
0:15:35 > 0:15:38that convey real emotion.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Gareth wants his group to be able to do the same
0:15:40 > 0:15:43when they sing at the wedding.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47And he has a rather unusual strategy to get them expressing themselves.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51In there is a press room and you are going to be interviewed
0:15:51 > 0:15:55by Top Of The Pops Magazine journalist Zoe. What I'm looking for
0:15:55 > 0:15:58is for you to be open, engaging and honest,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00as much as you possibly can.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05The person who is, will get their face on the magazine.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06ALL: Oh!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Follow me.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The things that make an interview really interesting
0:16:11 > 0:16:13are honesty and truthfulness.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14This is Zoe.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19'Someone who can be conversational and engaging.'
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Most of these shy children find it hard to be the centre of attention.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Can they relax and talk about themselves?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Today, I'm going to be asking you all about The Big Performance.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Who's been your favourite celebrity guest?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I think Melanie C from The Spice Girls. She was really fun.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37She gave really nice advice.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40She was so sincere with it, I found that really nice.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42He's really clear and really concise.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46He kind of made it his own interview by making it really personal.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48They're enjoying speaking,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51they're enjoying talking about themselves and they're opening up.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You have to open up when performing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Next is Michael. In rock'n'roll week,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00he managed to cover up his mistakes during the dance challenge.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03That was a great example of when you go wrong, keep going.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08This task isn't about distracting the audience with fancy moves.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Can he keep his cool and give a no-frills, honest interview?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- What's been hardest for you so far? - Well, it's hard to put my finger on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Er... probably be trying to stand out from the crowd more when I'm singing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Michael's really good. He's very honest, very open.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I hesitated on a couple of them and I said, "Um,"
0:17:27 > 0:17:31quite a lot, because everyone does that, but I think... I don't know.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Hi, James.- James has no problem talking honestly about Gareth.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Let's say he's a bit of a... a beatbox.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- I can't really describe him. - Really?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43HE BEATBOXES
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Finally, it's Taylor. Can he make the headlines with Zoe?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I've really enjoyed all the fun activities, like meeting celebrities.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Especially coming here and meeting you.- Wow!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- It's true.- OK. Er, and...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Smooth moves, Taylor!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08'He was really good. He was charming, he was funny.'
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's not always what you're saying, it's how you say it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Adele, for example, is really truthful, honest and bubbly.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20They've all started to open up,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22but who was the most expressive and engaging?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26We have deliberated, we have thought about your interviews
0:18:26 > 0:18:27and we have chosen a winner.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29You all did a really brilliant job,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33but there was one of you that really stood out and that was...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Mohammed.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38APPLAUSE
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Well done, Mohammed.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41'It was amazing.'
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm definitely going to put it on my wall in my room.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's hard to believe that Mohammed was crying when he had to sing
0:18:47 > 0:18:51a solo, and now he's really finding much more confidence.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Children In Need is just five weeks away,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00where the nervous performers will sing live on television
0:19:00 > 0:19:01to 11 million viewers.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04On the night, they'll be joined via satellite
0:19:04 > 0:19:06by nine other groups across the nation.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Including Bridgewater College Show Choir,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15who Gareth's brought to demonstrate the performance he's looking for.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19As soon as they started, it was just like a sonic boom of voices.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23'I really want our choir to be like them.'
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I thought they were really cool and I was literally feeling the vibe.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I was like, "Yeah!"
0:19:28 > 0:19:32# I'm talking to the man in the mirror... #
0:19:32 > 0:19:35At Children In Need, we have to reach that level.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37We have to get to that intensity,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40we have to mean what we're singing about.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Later, the shy singers will be performing Adele's love song
0:19:46 > 0:19:49One And Only to a bride and groom on their wedding day.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55This is a huge responsibility, especially for timid soloist Imogen.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00To make sure she's up to it, Gareth wants her to face her worst fear.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Who do you think you're going to be performing for
0:20:03 > 0:20:05in your performance challenge?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- I think in front of my friends. - I'm afraid it's not your friends.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It is something a little bit more scary.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You are going to be performing in front of a group of boys
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- from the local boys school. - Oh!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I'm feeling quite, like, nervous about the solo challenge
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and I'm quite scared of boys.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The reason Imogen's frightened of singing
0:20:35 > 0:20:38is because she was bullied about her singing by boys.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41This is the only way for her to get over this fear.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43She's got to confront it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Come and stand there. This is Imogen, everyone.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53That's it, stand up to it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Um...- Go for it.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Oh!
0:21:14 > 0:21:18With the boys all watching, shy Imogen forgets the lyrics.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19# Losing myself in... #
0:21:19 > 0:21:23# Losing myself in time
0:21:23 > 0:21:29# You're the only one that I want. #
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- How do you think she did?- Brilliant. - What do you think of her voice?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Fantastic.- Amazing. - It's a nice voice.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It really is a nice voice. Any words of advice?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Try and be more confident with yourself,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49because you're just amazing at it. Just be more confident.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I think now I can conquer anything
0:21:51 > 0:21:54because I've just performed in front of six boys
0:21:54 > 0:21:58and I did it, so I can do anything, really.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01She did it, she passed.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But she did fluff some lines and the worry is, at the wedding,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06she cannot afford to do that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08But I'm really proud of her.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15As they arrive at the wedding venue,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18the countdown to show time begins.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Weddings are one of the most emotional occasions
0:22:22 > 0:22:25in anyone's life, so the group must put on a memorable performance.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30When under pressure, soloist Imogen forgot the lyrics
0:22:30 > 0:22:32so Gareth calls a last minute rehearsal with the band.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37We are singing to them on the most special day of their entire lives.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41So it's got to good, but I think more than anything it has to be heartfelt.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So we've got to forget about our worries,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46forget about ourselves and put them first.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I felt really proud of myself.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52I was so happy to hear Imogen sing properly, with a loud voice,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54in front of everyone
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and really get the solo exactly as it should be.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01It's a great final rehearsal for Imogen, but will she lead the group
0:24:01 > 0:24:03and sing her heart out when it matters?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm feeling quite scared about doing a solo at the wedding,

0:24:24 > 0:24:26'I'm excited now, but really scared.'

0:24:31 > 0:24:33They cannot get this wrong.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38This has got to be fantastic and if it's not, we're in trouble.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Can Imogen dig deep and sing with real emotion to the bride and groom?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49This song is dedicated to you.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's called The One And Only by Adele.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Despite a few mistakes with the lyrics, they did it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Their first formal gig and this time
0:26:30 > 0:26:33the only tears were in the audience.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Imogen is amazing. Yeah, she made me cry.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38We were very impressed.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It was very nice to have that as part of our wedding.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Smile, guys!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45'I kind of mucked it up because I forgot some words,'
0:26:45 > 0:26:49but I covered it up and followed Gareth's voice
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and I just gave my performance.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I think they liked it, especially the bride
0:26:54 > 0:26:56because she was crying.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I think, hopefully, it was with happiness.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03'I'm not sure that they absolutely slammed it.'
0:27:03 > 0:27:04It was good and they were pleased,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06but I know that they can do much better
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and I have to keep getting them to aspire
0:27:09 > 0:27:12to be as good as they possibly can be in front of the audience.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15That's the problem.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19I'm really pleased with how far Imogen has come,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22because she seemed so timid when they started.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24As much as I'd like to give her a high, as her voice
0:27:24 > 0:27:28sounds really nice, she was a little bit unreliable in performance.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32So I'm giving her a medium chance of being a Big Performance soloist.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Next time, Gareth gets tough.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39We perform for the entire nation
0:27:39 > 0:27:40in a matter of weeks.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Their final performance is thrown into jeopardy.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Their first performance on a massive scale, and look at the weather!
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Can Rizzle Kicks save the day? - It's all about confidence, right?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54You've got to show you know what you're doing.
