Last year ten terrified kids found the courage

0:00:020:00:05

to sing to an audience of 40,000 at Proms In The Park.

0:00:050:00:08

# We can rule the world. #

0:00:080:00:11

-TERRY WOGAN:

-The Big Performance! The biggest cheer of the night.

0:00:110:00:16

But for this year's kids, the challenge is bigger and scarier.

0:00:160:00:20

Singing on BBC One to an audience of 11 million on Children In Need.

0:00:200:00:25

This is the biggest thing I've ever done.

0:00:250:00:27

Three weeks away from The Big Performance,

0:00:270:00:31

they hit the festivals.

0:00:310:00:33

ALL: Oi, oi, oi!

0:00:330:00:34

How will they cope with unusual music?

0:00:340:00:38

Ugh. Folk?

0:00:380:00:39

I don't like folk. I never will.

0:00:390:00:42

Nothing can be as bad as folk.

0:00:420:00:44

Will this week's soloist ever remember the lyrics?

0:00:440:00:48

I'm forgetting the words.

0:00:480:00:50

Especially with 3,000 people watching.

0:00:500:00:54

This is The Big Performance Two.

0:00:560:00:59

# Ooh!

0:01:080:01:11

# Yeah!

0:01:110:01:12

# Ooh!

0:01:130:01:15

# Whoa! #

0:01:170:01:19

These ten kids are turning their backs on their bullied past.

0:01:220:01:26

I feel not good enough.

0:01:260:01:28

Because I prefer singing to football.

0:01:280:01:30

With the help of choirmaster Gareth Malone,

0:01:300:01:34

they're preparing to sing live on TV in front of millions.

0:01:340:01:39

There's very little time. We're close to Children In Need.

0:01:390:01:43

I'm starting to get scared.

0:01:430:01:45

There have been highs...

0:01:450:01:48

But their last performance was a low.

0:01:500:01:53

THEY SING

0:01:530:01:55

Just log it in the book of experiences.

0:01:550:01:58

Gareth's reputation is on the line. They must step up.

0:01:580:02:02

No excuses. It's got to be right.

0:02:020:02:04

Today The Big Performance tour bus heads into Devon

0:02:070:02:10

and the group get festival fever at the Beautiful Days Festival.

0:02:100:02:16

There are five stages featuring comedy, DJs and live bands,

0:02:160:02:20

attracting 15,000 music fans from far and wide.

0:02:200:02:25

# What a beautiful day, hey, hey... #

0:02:250:02:29

Run by folk-rock heroes The Levellers, it's a sell-out weekend.

0:02:290:02:34

The crowd have high expectations.

0:02:340:02:36

Will Gareth's singers hold their own with professional acts?

0:02:370:02:41

They've really got to shape up.

0:02:410:02:43

They have to learn their words properly

0:02:430:02:46

because they're going up in front of a big audience who know about music.

0:02:460:02:51

In wellies, the shy performers pitch up at their first-ever festival,

0:02:530:02:58

all eagerly anticipating this week's musical theme.

0:02:580:03:01

Oh, it's Farmer Giles!

0:03:010:03:05

Oh, no!

0:03:050:03:07

THEY LAUGH

0:03:070:03:08

Hello, everyone!

0:03:080:03:10

I'm glad to see you have wellies on because we are at a festival.

0:03:100:03:14

THEY CHEER

0:03:140:03:16

And the theme is...folk week.

0:03:160:03:19

Oh, no.

0:03:190:03:21

Ugh. Folk? It's folk!

0:03:210:03:25

I don't like folk. I never will. If Gareth thinks

0:03:250:03:29

he's getting me to sing it, he's highly mistaken.

0:03:290:03:32

# My head told my heart... #

0:03:320:03:36

Chart-topping Mumford & Sons are a folk band.

0:03:360:03:40

Traditionally, storytelling to music,

0:03:400:03:42

artists like Ed Sheeran and Noah And The Whale are inspired by folk.

0:03:420:03:47

-James?

-This might be my solo.

0:03:480:03:51

It could be your solo but it could also be Tia's solo.

0:03:510:03:55

-My worst nightmare.

-Is folk your worst nightmare?

-Yeah.

-Step forward.

0:03:550:04:00

-Now Tia, I really need to put you to the test.

-It's my solo, isn't it?

0:04:000:04:08

James, I think that folk is going to test you to your limit.

0:04:080:04:12

-You might not think this is cool.

-Mm, just a little.

0:04:120:04:16

I think this style of music is going to suit you,

0:04:160:04:19

which is just as well because this week it's your solo, James.

0:04:190:04:23

Argh!

0:04:230:04:26

Guitar is my life. There's nothing I'd rather do.

0:04:260:04:30

When it comes to singing I don't think I'm the greatest.

0:04:300:04:34

Follow me and the beard.

0:04:340:04:37

This is just the worst ever. I mean, nothing could be as bad as folk.

0:04:370:04:43

The music theme hasn't resonated with the group.

0:04:470:04:50

Can they love folk when they find out what they're singing?

0:04:500:04:54

This song is called Scarborough Fair.

0:04:580:05:02

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair? #

0:05:020:05:06

The signs aren't good, but it has been well-known for centuries

0:05:060:05:11

and its tale of love and betrayal

0:05:110:05:13

has captivated listeners for generations.

0:05:130:05:16

Not helping to lift the mood,

0:05:160:05:19

in true festival style, the weather gets worse.

0:05:190:05:22

Gareth powers on through the session in the great outdoors.

0:05:220:05:26

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair? #

0:05:260:05:31

I feel like things are conspiring against me.

0:05:310:05:34

It's raining. They look so glum.

0:05:340:05:36

They were unhappy it was folk.

0:05:360:05:38

But there's no time for failure.

0:05:380:05:41

It's got to be word perfect from everyone.

0:05:410:05:44

# Remember me to one who lives there. #

0:05:440:05:50

Now, I am very serious

0:05:500:05:52

when I say we need to learn these words properly

0:05:520:05:56

because we had a bit of a disaster with learning the words last week.

0:05:560:06:00

Gareth needs to turn things around

0:06:000:06:03

to do justice to a lyric-intensive song like Scarborough Fair.

0:06:030:06:08

I've brought in someone who really knows about words.

0:06:080:06:12

This is Liz Kessler, who wrote the Emily Windsnap series of books.

0:06:120:06:17

If anyone can get those words in our heads and understand them, it's her.

0:06:170:06:22

-Here she is. Hi.

-Hi.

0:06:220:06:25

Liz has published eight books and sold over two million copies.

0:06:250:06:29

No stranger to a great story, she wants to

0:06:290:06:32

get the group straight into this one.

0:06:320:06:35

Think about the characters. Who's singing?

0:06:350:06:38

-It's a man about his, like, girlfriend.

-Brilliant.

0:06:380:06:43

Boyfriends and girlfriends sounds quite romantic

0:06:430:06:47

but things aren't as rosy as they seem.

0:06:470:06:50

# She once was a true love of mine. #

0:06:500:06:54

Is it his girlfriend now? It's his ex-girlfriend, isn't it?

0:06:540:06:58

-Maybe his girlfriend was cheating on him.

-That's probably it.

0:06:580:07:04

Scarborough Fair may be a darker tale than they were expecting.

0:07:040:07:09

'Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without a seam or needlework.'

0:07:090:07:14

What about the things he's telling her to do?

0:07:140:07:17

-He's trying to make her do impossible things.

-That's it.

0:07:170:07:22

Maybe he doesn't want to be in love with her any more.

0:07:220:07:25

-He's trying to push her away.

-Brilliant.

0:07:250:07:28

These ideas are fantastic.

0:07:280:07:31

I think it would be a really good point now to sing it to Liz

0:07:310:07:35

and see if we sing it differently. We were all going,

0:07:350:07:39

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair? #

0:07:390:07:42

It's not really like that. It's about betrayal, revenge and punishment.

0:07:420:07:47

# Remember me to one who lives there. #

0:07:470:07:53

They're all getting down with the folk, even Taylor.

0:07:530:07:57

When Liz taught us to look at it as a story,

0:07:570:08:00

I really got into the mood of it.

0:08:000:08:03

It was just really fun to sing it.

0:08:030:08:05

Hold on - rewind.

0:08:050:08:07

I don't like folk. I never will.

0:08:070:08:11

I think that's what we'll work on, getting that story across

0:08:110:08:15

and also making sure we remember the words.

0:08:150:08:19

Thank you very much, Liz. Round of applause.

0:08:190:08:22

Understanding the story

0:08:220:08:24

should make forgetting the words a thing of the past,

0:08:240:08:28

which is just as well, considering what Gareth has up his sleeve.

0:08:280:08:33

They don't know this but they're performing to 3,000 people.

0:08:330:08:37

Not just 3,000 ordinary people but 3,000 paying folk fans.

0:08:370:08:41

These guys will know if it's good or not. They must not get this wrong.

0:08:410:08:47

The sun's out. The festival's in full swing

0:08:520:08:55

with the wacky and wonderful.

0:08:550:08:57

In a few hours the shy singers will face the music

0:08:570:09:00

in front of thousands of festival-goers.

0:09:000:09:03

These stars know that on stage

0:09:030:09:05

you've got to draw the crowd into your performance.

0:09:050:09:08

When you feel the vibe off other people it makes you feel all right.

0:09:080:09:13

If the audience are up there roaring and everything

0:09:130:09:17

it makes you feel they like something you're doing.

0:09:170:09:20

That makes you 110 times better.

0:09:200:09:22

You want to make sure they're enjoying the music.

0:09:220:09:26

If you mess up it's just,

0:09:260:09:27

"Well, everybody messes up. I'm sorry. Let's do it again."

0:09:270:09:32

Have a good time.

0:09:320:09:33

If you're jumping like an idiot, they'll like it if you have fun.

0:09:330:09:37

That's what we do, jumping on the spot.

0:09:370:09:40

Just having a cracking time. Sing your head off.

0:09:400:09:43

To get the crowd going, the singers will have to bring masses of energy

0:09:430:09:48

to their traditional folk song.

0:09:480:09:50

Can drumming collective Big Beat help them find their rhythm?

0:09:500:09:55

DRUMMING

0:09:550:09:57

One, two, three, four!

0:09:580:10:00

These record-breaking drummers make music out of anything

0:10:020:10:06

and their enthusiasm is rubbing off on the group.

0:10:060:10:10

Wow. That is a big beat.

0:10:150:10:19

-Ready to make some noise?

-Yeah!

0:10:190:10:21

They're up for it.

0:10:210:10:23

They're looking the part.

0:10:230:10:25

But can they find their mojo?

0:10:250:10:28

It's a good start and they're getting into the festival beats.

0:10:320:10:36

These children were once afraid to make any noise. Not any more.

0:10:400:10:45

Oi, oi, oi, oi!

0:10:450:10:46

Oi, oi, oi, oi!

0:10:460:10:48

They attract attention

0:10:480:10:50

from festival organiser and Levellers drummer Charlie.

0:10:500:10:53

Hold the stick towards the end. You're not getting much power.

0:10:530:10:58

You want to hold it there.

0:10:580:11:01

Can the group put all their beats together into one performance?

0:11:010:11:05

-Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!

-Louder!

0:11:130:11:16

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!

0:11:160:11:18

I think that's what they call a banging success!

0:11:180:11:23

Will it last for their performance?

0:11:230:11:25

Well done, everyone. Come out.

0:11:250:11:28

You are going to need that rhythmical togetherness you found there.

0:11:280:11:32

Later on we're performing in the Big Top tent in front of 3,000 people.

0:11:320:11:39

THEY CHEER

0:11:390:11:42

-Sorry? You want to do it?

-Yeah!

-This is a first.

0:11:420:11:47

The only way is up.

0:11:470:11:49

They were excited about performing! Oh, my goodness.

0:11:490:11:54

Oh, my God! I'm so excited.

0:11:540:11:57

Just the fact it's called a Big Top tent is daunting

0:11:570:12:01

but I reckon we can do it if we work as a team.

0:12:010:12:04

I'm really happy. I think the penny is starting to drop.

0:12:040:12:07

Performing is fun. It's why people do it.

0:12:070:12:10

I love it. They're starting to love it too.

0:12:100:12:13

Later, James will be trying out for the Children In Need solo spot

0:12:170:12:21

in the Big Top tent in front of a crowd of 3,000 people.

0:12:210:12:25

Come into my folk tent.

0:12:250:12:27

So Gareth gets to work on helping him prepare.

0:12:270:12:30

For 13-year-old James, music is his life.

0:12:300:12:34

He loves a range of music from metal bands to Ed Sheeran.

0:12:340:12:38

He listens to music, and he plays his guitar,

0:12:380:12:41

which he's been learning since he was six.

0:12:410:12:44

Throughout the tour,

0:12:440:12:46

James has proved he's a confident and talented guitarist.

0:12:460:12:51

But as Gareth found out in his audition,

0:12:510:12:55

he doesn't have the same belief in his singing.

0:12:550:12:58

# It's too cold outside for angels to fly... #

0:12:580:13:03

Sorry. It was really bad.

0:13:030:13:05

James is difficult to crack because he's very musically accomplished

0:13:050:13:10

but he still has some way to go.

0:13:100:13:11

He's got talent but he's got to find a confidence to match it.

0:13:110:13:15

JAMES SINGS

0:13:150:13:18

GARETH CORRECTS HIS SINGING

0:13:180:13:20

# H'are you... #

0:13:200:13:21

Not h'are. "H'are you..."

0:13:210:13:24

When I correct you it's like, "It's a disaster. I got it wrong."

0:13:240:13:28

It isn't a disaster. We have to work to get better.

0:13:280:13:32

# Remember me to one who lives there

0:13:320:13:37

# She once was a true love of mine. #

0:13:370:13:42

You did a tiny eye flinch and I knew you'd made a mistake.

0:13:420:13:45

You let the audience know with your face

0:13:450:13:48

when you think it didn't go well.

0:13:480:13:51

I'm used to doing that because every time I make a mistake

0:13:510:13:55

I'm like, "You need to get it right."

0:13:550:13:57

It's good to be self-critical but at the same time

0:13:570:14:01

the more you go, "Agh! Oof!"

0:14:010:14:03

when you come to perform the song, you'll do the same thing.

0:14:030:14:07

# Tell her to make me... #

0:14:090:14:11

He can sing a tune beautifully but James is his own worst enemy.

0:14:110:14:16

He's a harsh critic and that's difficult

0:14:160:14:19

because he flinches when he makes a mistake

0:14:190:14:22

and he reveals that he's got it wrong. You cannot do that.

0:14:220:14:26

I've got to get him to stand on the stage

0:14:260:14:30

and look like he really is confident.

0:14:300:14:34

In three weeks, the singers will put on the performance of their lives

0:14:380:14:43

as they sing to the nation on Children In Need night.

0:14:430:14:46

They'll be supported by choirs around the country

0:14:470:14:51

including the award-winning New Forest Children's Choir.

0:14:510:14:55

They're young but they bring folk to life.

0:14:550:14:58

# Underneath the sea far away from land

0:15:010:15:05

# That is where I will be

0:15:050:15:08

# Shaking on the sand

0:15:080:15:10

# Rattling in my rigging

0:15:100:15:12

# Dithering on my deck I'm just a nervous wreck. #

0:15:120:15:17

I was like, "Whoa. Didn't think they could make so much noise."

0:15:170:15:21

They had that focusing eye thing

0:15:210:15:23

where they were engaged with the audience.

0:15:230:15:27

I never really did that because I'm scared of audiences.

0:15:270:15:31

# Just a nervous wreck. #

0:15:310:15:33

-I think maybe, just possibly, they were having fun. Yes? Is it fun?

-Yes!

0:15:400:15:46

-Would you like to hear us sing a song?

-Yes.

0:15:460:15:49

OK, let's sing Scarborough Fair.

0:15:490:15:52

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

0:15:520:15:58

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

0:15:580:16:03

# Between the salt water and the sea sand

0:16:030:16:10

# Then she'll be a true love of mine. #

0:16:100:16:15

Do you have any advice for them?

0:16:200:16:23

If you mess up, just pretend you haven't and carry on.

0:16:230:16:27

-Don't make a face.

-Anyone in particular make a face?

0:16:270:16:32

James, yes, James.

0:16:320:16:34

I can't believe they noticed the cringe that I did.

0:16:340:16:38

What would happen if I actually did that on the stage?

0:16:380:16:42

I really have to either get it right or I need to get rid of the cringe.

0:16:420:16:47

James flinched and he gave away that he was nervous

0:16:470:16:50

and that he made mistakes.

0:16:500:16:52

They wouldn't have noticed had he not shown it on his face

0:16:520:16:56

I think that's a really good lesson for James.

0:16:560:16:59

It's not all about being a perfectionist.

0:16:590:17:02

It's about putting on a show, turning the lights on when it counts.

0:17:020:17:06

Great. Thank you.

0:17:060:17:08

It's about time we don't care what people say.

0:17:080:17:11

Just show what we're made of.

0:17:110:17:13

Let's go.

0:17:170:17:19

Later today, the group will be singing to 3,000 music fans.

0:17:190:17:23

Soloist James must convince the crowd he's a competent folk artist.

0:17:260:17:31

Before he can do this, he needs to shake off his bad habits.

0:17:310:17:35

So Gareth's got permission for an impromptu street performance.

0:17:350:17:40

I think you have a really lovely voice but you don't believe that.

0:17:400:17:44

You give it away by flinching and showing it on your face.

0:17:440:17:48

I've got a challenge for you. We are in a town square.

0:17:480:17:52

I want you to busk in front of total strangers

0:17:520:17:55

and we're going to be raising money for Children In Need.

0:17:550:17:59

The more money you raise, the more of a success it is.

0:17:590:18:03

Ready for this? Let's raise some money.

0:18:030:18:06

If I've made something wrong it doesn't matter.

0:18:060:18:09

The audience don't know. I need to remember that.

0:18:090:18:13

James should get this right. He's got the confidence and talent.

0:18:130:18:17

He just needs to get the words right and not flinch.

0:18:170:18:21

This is Scarborough Fair.

0:18:210:18:24

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

0:18:240:18:29

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and...thyme

0:18:290:18:33

# Remember me to one who was there

0:18:330:18:37

# She... #

0:18:370:18:39

He's lost the lyrics and his face says it all.

0:18:390:18:43

# Tell her to find me an acre of land

0:18:430:18:47

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. #

0:18:470:18:51

I keep forgetting the words.

0:18:510:18:54

Can his first donation give James the confidence to go on?

0:18:570:19:02

-Listen, we got a pound.

-I know, but I'm doing really badly.

0:19:020:19:06

-What happened?

-I forgot the words. I don't know why.

0:19:060:19:10

It's what happens in performance. It's a really difficult thing.

0:19:100:19:14

-We've just got to focus on the words. Are you OK?

-Yeah.

-They're clapping.

0:19:140:19:19

Brilliant. We've got two pounds.

0:19:190:19:22

Let's do it once more and see if you can keep going, whatever happens.

0:19:220:19:27

James must learn to ignore his mistakes

0:19:270:19:30

and appear confident, even if he isn't.

0:19:300:19:33

'I think he didn't realise how difficult it would be.'

0:19:330:19:36

He flinched, lost the words and panicked.

0:19:360:19:39

He thought about the audience instead of the song - a critical lesson.

0:19:390:19:44

You cannot do that in front of 3,000 people.

0:19:440:19:47

Thank you very much.

0:19:470:19:50

But I think people could hear he had a nice voice

0:19:500:19:54

and that's why they gave £15.59. Not bad for a few minutes.

0:19:540:19:58

-Well done, James. How are you feeling?

-Scared.

0:19:590:20:02

I think my solo challenge went OK.

0:20:020:20:04

It could've went better,

0:20:040:20:06

just because I kind of fluffed up at a few bits, but half the time

0:20:060:20:09

I wasn't doing the cringe, so I'm actually quite proud of myself.

0:20:090:20:13

The reluctant folk singers

0:20:140:20:15

are one stop away from their debut festival performance.

0:20:150:20:19

The unpredictable festival weather has brightened up once again

0:20:190:20:23

and a listing of the group's gig in the programme

0:20:230:20:27

has attracted an expectant crowd to the Big Top Tent.

0:20:270:20:29

Putting the nervous group on the professional stage

0:20:330:20:36

is a huge risk for Gareth,

0:20:360:20:37

and he's leaving nothing to chance.

0:20:370:20:40

Right, everyone, we've parked up

0:20:400:20:42

for a last little rehearsal.

0:20:420:20:44

We've got a tour bus. We might as well use it properly.

0:20:440:20:46

The most important thing for me now is that you all know the words.

0:20:460:20:50

That's really, really critical.

0:20:500:20:52

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

0:20:520:20:57

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

0:20:570:21:01

# Remember me to one who...

0:21:010:21:04

# Who grew up near there

0:21:060:21:08

# Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well

0:21:080:21:14

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme... #

0:21:140:21:18

THEY ALL STRUGGLE TO REMEMBER WORDS

0:21:180:21:21

# Then she'll be a true love of mine. #

0:21:250:21:31

Oops. Oops. Oh, dear.

0:21:350:21:38

Shall we try it again? ALL: Yeah.

0:21:380:21:40

I'm a little bit concerned that we had a bit of a fluff there.

0:21:400:21:43

You've had two verses.

0:21:430:21:45

Nerves I can understand,

0:21:450:21:47

but everyone together, I can't. We've talked about this a lot.

0:21:470:21:51

Let's do it again. Don't get it wrong this time.

0:21:510:21:53

# Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well

0:21:530:21:58

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

0:21:580:22:03

-TENTATIVELY:

-# Where water ne'er sprang or drop of rain fell... #

0:22:030:22:08

This isn't the dazzling performance Gareth expects at this stage.

0:22:080:22:14

It's a different group of people that I see from eight weeks ago.

0:22:140:22:17

But I'm just really worried

0:22:170:22:19

that we're going to get out there on stage in front of 3,000 people

0:22:190:22:23

and what will show in your eyes and in your body language is fear.

0:22:230:22:28

We've got to be professional this time.

0:22:280:22:31

'I just want to hear some really good singing'

0:22:310:22:34

and I want to hear vocal confidence,

0:22:340:22:37

because this is week eight, there's very little time left

0:22:370:22:40

and we're getting very close to Children In Need.

0:22:400:22:42

I'm starting to get scared.

0:22:420:22:45

Our singers find performing to any crowd tough,

0:22:450:22:48

but even stars have difficult days and they still put on a good show.

0:22:480:22:52

Sometimes I can be having a bad day and it seems like,

0:22:520:22:56

"How am I going to get out there and do a concert like I normally do?"

0:22:560:23:00

But I think, you know,

0:23:000:23:03

just to remember that these people have come to see you.

0:23:030:23:06

The best thing you can ever do is be professional.

0:23:060:23:08

Be professional, be ready to do your job.

0:23:080:23:10

I definitely have not been in the mood to perform - I've been tired.

0:23:100:23:14

And it's the times that you power through

0:23:140:23:16

which really makes the difference.

0:23:160:23:19

They ought to be able to do a fantastic job,

0:23:290:23:32

they just need to show that on stage.

0:23:320:23:34

It counts in there.

0:23:340:23:35

With just minutes to go until their biggest performance yet,

0:23:370:23:41

all Gareth can do is hope they deliver nothing short of their best.

0:23:410:23:45

Do not go into that dark place of fear. Let's do this!

0:23:450:23:49

OK, team, are we ready? Let's do this, here we go.

0:23:550:23:57

Let's go.

0:23:590:24:00

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:24:030:24:06

The sheer scale of the audience is overwhelming

0:24:080:24:10

and the group's shock is apparent.

0:24:100:24:14

During his solo challenge, James fluffed his lines

0:24:140:24:17

and his face said it all.

0:24:170:24:19

Can he conceal his nerves now?

0:24:190:24:21

# Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

0:24:240:24:31

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

0:24:310:24:35

# Remember me to one who lives there

0:24:350:24:40

# She once was a true love of mine

0:24:400:24:48

CHEERING

0:24:480:24:49

# Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well

0:24:490:24:54

# Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

0:24:540:24:59

# Where water ne'er sprang nor rain never fall... #

0:24:590:25:05

Despite nerves causing some of them to forget the lyrics,

0:25:050:25:07

soloist James keeps the song on track.

0:25:070:25:11

# Then she'll be a true love of

0:25:110:25:18

# Mine. #

0:25:180:25:23

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:25:230:25:25

Thank you!

0:25:340:25:35

We've had a lot of tears, a lot of failures,

0:25:350:25:40

but also, we're starting to have triumphs.

0:25:400:25:42

I'm really proud of you today. You did a fantastic job.

0:25:420:25:46

Especially our soloist, James.

0:25:460:25:48

CHEERING

0:25:480:25:49

SHE SCREAMS

0:25:510:25:52

Well done.

0:25:550:25:57

That was like a bear pit, that was really scary. A real rush.

0:25:570:26:00

That was the true best feeling of my life,

0:26:000:26:02

but I just went up there and did my best

0:26:020:26:04

and they were all roaring and I was so happy.

0:26:040:26:06

SHE SCREAMS

0:26:060:26:08

It's the best thing I've ever done, it was absolutely amazing.

0:26:080:26:11

I've never felt such adrenaline before.

0:26:110:26:14

I felt like I was on the biggest rollercoaster ever.

0:26:140:26:16

The best performance we've ever done yet.

0:26:160:26:19

Oh, we just went for it. We've got fans. We've got fans!

0:26:190:26:23

That's the first time, honestly, the first time in eight weeks

0:26:230:26:26

that I've thought, "They'll be all right for Children In Need."

0:26:260:26:29

Just a glimmer. If we carry on like this, we could get there.

0:26:290:26:34

I always knew James could sing. He's got a great voice,

0:26:420:26:46

but the question for me was whether he could perform in front of that kind of audience, and he can.

0:26:460:26:51

He didn't seem to flinch, got right through the performance,

0:26:510:26:54

I'm really impressed.

0:26:540:26:55

Based on that performance, I'm going to give James a high chance

0:26:550:26:58

of being the Big Performance soloist.

0:26:580:27:00

Next time, it's the last solo audition.

0:27:000:27:04

-I can't do it.

-You can.

0:27:040:27:05

But with their television debut looming...

0:27:050:27:08

The first performance by the Children In Need choir.

0:27:080:27:11

..will it all be too much for Tia...

0:27:110:27:13

-I don't like singing in front of people.

-..And the rest of them?

0:27:130:27:16

We've worked so hard over the last nine weeks,

0:27:160:27:19

but it doesn't matter a jot

0:27:190:27:20

if they can't pull it off in front of live audiences.

0:27:200:27:23

# Oh-oh, ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-ah

0:27:250:27:29

# Ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

0:27:290:27:34

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

0:27:340:27:36

# Yeah

0:27:360:27:37

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

0:27:370:27:40

# Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah. #

0:27:400:27:43

# Yeah! #
