:14:41. > :14:51.your way to the superstar balcony. Gang, come along. Let's heard
:14:52. > :14:57.ourselves. Gareth, he is already doodling. I am making notes. With
:14:58. > :15:03.your x-ray vision, tell us the truth and advise these two groups what
:15:04. > :15:07.they can do to prepare. We are all a bit overwhelmed because the standard
:15:08. > :15:11.is so high. These are the best of the groups in the series and we have
:15:12. > :15:15.left so many behind to get to this point. It is stunning and it is
:15:16. > :15:22.fascinating to see how you bring the energy up to match your superstar
:15:23. > :15:26.singer. Scot Sole, you brought loads of joy and style and you always give
:15:27. > :15:39.me that immaculate phrasing. A couple of times you were sitting on
:15:40. > :15:44.the OS map, but it was exciting. Do not sit on them and always use a
:15:45. > :15:47.baton. Only one of these groups will go through to the next round, the
:15:48. > :15:50.other is about to be knocked out of the night's final.
:15:51. > :15:55.Deciding their fate is the themed Riff-Off!
:15:56. > :16:06.Let's reveal to the audience at home what your theme is!
:16:07. > :16:17.Well, all you have to do to succeed tonight is,
:16:18. > :16:25.You've simply got to be better than the other group.
:16:26. > :16:49.In tonight's first live Riff-Off, it's Scot Soul versus Tring Park 16!
:16:50. > :16:51.# I thought love was only true in fairy tales.
:16:52. > :17:03.# Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
:17:04. > :17:35.# I can feel something inside me say.
:17:36. > :17:39.# Really don't think you're strong enough.
:17:40. > :18:10.# How did you know I needed you so badly.
:18:11. > :18:15.# How did you know I'd give my heart gladly.
:18:16. > :18:19.# Yesterday, I was one of the lonely people.
:18:20. > :18:23.# Now you're lying close to me, making love to me.
:18:24. > :18:38.# Just listen to the rhythm of my heart.
:18:39. > :18:40.# There's a chance we can make it now.
:18:41. > :18:42.# We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down.
:18:43. > :18:45.# I believe in a thing called love.
:18:46. > :19:03.# Touching you, God, you're touching me.
:19:04. > :19:22.# Who knows what miracles you can achieve.
:19:23. > :20:01.# I think about it every night and day.
:20:02. > :20:51.There is a lot of love in the room. I'm going to have two separate them,
:20:52. > :20:59.it is like herding guinea pigs. Scot Soul, the prime mover, a bit of
:21:00. > :21:06.Gangnam Style there. Did you nanograms -- did you enjoy it? I had
:21:07. > :21:13.a great time. Just going to leave that there, sorry. Well done, Scot
:21:14. > :21:26.Soul. And pulling out all the moves, how was that for you? I'm so sorry,
:21:27. > :21:34.my darling, what is your name? Matt, my best friend, I know you very
:21:35. > :21:43.well! Matthew! And I had no time for questions. Call me. Very close
:21:44. > :21:52.friends. Only one group can go through to the next round.
:21:53. > :21:58.Cleopatra! Do you believe in these groups? I believe very much. Scot
:21:59. > :22:03.Soul, you guys are so consistent and natural, it comes out very
:22:04. > :22:11.effortless and synchronised. Tring Park, Matt, what a fantastic
:22:12. > :22:17.falsetto, gorgeous. You guys, your energy is electric and very
:22:18. > :22:22.exciting. Now we have five against 16, is that fair? The bottom line is
:22:23. > :22:30.you get the right five people together and they join their voices
:22:31. > :22:33.for that Harmony range. And Scot Soul, I cannot understand what you
:22:34. > :22:40.say when you speak, but when you think you sound like session
:22:41. > :22:45.singers. Unbelievable. Tring Park, I cannot believe that you are a
:22:46. > :22:53.classical choir. You're singing pop songs like that and running round in
:22:54. > :22:59.circles. I picked you up earlier for not living each phrase but there was
:23:00. > :23:02.so much energy. Absolutely infectious. You are up against a
:23:03. > :23:08.group with one of the warmest tones in the whole contest so it was a
:23:09. > :23:14.tough battle. Could we be seeing the winner on stage? Who knows. One
:23:15. > :23:22.group is about to be eliminated from the finals. It is decision time.
:23:23. > :23:31.Which group would you like to see go forward into the next round? It is a
:23:32. > :23:44.hard decision, I love both groups. I had to go with Scot Soul. Gareth,
:23:45. > :23:48.which group would you like to see progress? Progression is what I've
:23:49. > :23:58.seen, an amazing change in this group. I'm going to reward that
:23:59. > :24:04.youthful exuberance, Tring Park. It is down to you, Deke Sharon, which
:24:05. > :24:10.group would you like to go forward in the next round? Every person on
:24:11. > :24:20.stage has a bright future. But I'm going to go with Scot Soul. That
:24:21. > :24:28.means we have to say goodbye to Tring Park. You have been brilliant,
:24:29. > :24:34.thank you so much. Well done, guys. Natalie, are you able to speak? Yes.
:24:35. > :24:40.Your thoughts and feelings? We are just over the moon. You guys are
:24:41. > :24:52.amazing and we never thought we would get this far. Oh, guys. Thank
:24:53. > :24:55.you. Thank you everybody. Congratulations Scot Soul. Getting
:24:56. > :25:01.through to the next round. But not the solo battle that you will be
:25:02. > :25:05.taking on, oh no. The pressure is on because we are stripping away our
:25:06. > :25:09.band, the next round is all about the vocals as they entered the a
:25:10. > :25:16.cappella battle. How are you feeling about that? It is a challenge,
:25:17. > :25:24.something we've never done before. But we're excited. Where are you a
:25:25. > :25:30.bracelet and all will be good! Spots sold through to the a cappella
:25:31. > :25:35.battle. Well done. -- Scot Soul. Who is going to be joining them? You
:25:36. > :25:37.will get your chance to vote for the ultimate winner later in the show.
:25:38. > :25:40.You just need to sign in or register by going to bbc.co.uk/pitchbattle
:25:41. > :25:42.where you will also find full terms and conditions.
:25:43. > :25:53.But first out of the choral trap, it's the Portsmouth University
:25:54. > :26:15.Portsmouth University Gospel choir make my heart flutter, so exciting.
:26:16. > :26:21.They have a real sense of team. The final battle puts every emotion into
:26:22. > :26:27.the song. Portsmouth University Gospel choir showed fight and I
:26:28. > :26:31.admire that. To shared the stage with Seal, he's a legend. We're more
:26:32. > :26:38.than ready to go back into battle. We are in it to it. -- to win it.
:26:39. > :26:40.Please welcome superstar singer Seal with his heat's winners,
:26:41. > :26:54.The Portsmouth University Gospel Choir!

:27:16. > :27:43.# But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
:27:44. > :28:48.# But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
:28:49. > :29:13.Seal, you still haven't found what you're looking for? Perhaps a
:29:14. > :29:27.49-year-old from Leatherhead. If you don't tell anyone, I want. You have
:29:28. > :29:36.met your match! Heaven! How was that for you? This whole thing is just
:29:37. > :29:43.the most amazing experience. Even to be standing next to Seal. He is all
:29:44. > :29:47.right, isn't he, quite cute. Thank you so much, you were incredible.
:29:48. > :29:49.Now time to hear from their competition.
:29:50. > :30:01.it's our university cappella group All The King's Men with Bebe Rexha!
:30:02. > :30:09.All the Kings men bringing a very choral sound to pop. We owe
:30:10. > :30:14.everything to the fact that we all sang enquirers when we were younger.
:30:15. > :30:19.They stole the show for me. Just something I have seen before. As a
:30:20. > :30:25.group of friends there is no words to describe it. This is the biggest
:30:26. > :30:27.opportunity we have ever had. It feels everything has been leading up
:30:28. > :30:31.to this moment, this final. Please welcome to the stage singing
:30:32. > :30:34.with their superstar guest judge Bebe Rexha,
:30:35. > :30:39.it's All the King's Men! # Ooh I'm sorry I'm
:30:40. > :30:43.not the most pretty. # It could be anybody, tell me,
:30:44. > :32:08.are you that somebody? # Don't matter who you are,
:32:09. > :32:12.just love me the way I are. # Don't matter who you
:32:13. > :33:13.are, just love me the Oh, my goodness. Wow. Wow. Now,... I
:33:14. > :33:18.really love these guys. I can tell. I drove five hours in traffic and I
:33:19. > :33:25.wanted to see them and I wanted the best for them. Last time you said
:33:26. > :33:34.you would pay to see them. How much will they charge? Am I getting a
:33:35. > :33:42.commission? Lovely to see you. Bebe on the BBC. George, how was it
:33:43. > :33:47.sharing the stage with this goddess? Completely unreal to perform with a
:33:48. > :34:04.musician of Bebe's talent. Thank you.
:34:05. > :34:24.Come on in, Portsmouth. Come right here. Cling close. Now, gang. Let us
:34:25. > :34:29.find out what the judges thought. Deke, I think it is time to hear
:34:30. > :34:33.some of your trademark low energy banter is. We have got two very
:34:34. > :34:40.different choir is standing before you. What did they do to impress
:34:41. > :34:45.you? They are both the same age, but there the similarities differ.
:34:46. > :34:48.Portsmouth, your performance was so close to perfection it was
:34:49. > :34:53.statistically insignificant. You were flawlessly beautiful and I want
:34:54. > :35:05.to go and buy that record right now. But... That was difficult. What you
:35:06. > :35:11.are doing is exactly right, it is three or four part harmony. On the
:35:12. > :35:18.other hand, what you guys did not do was not perfect, but it is more
:35:19. > :35:22.difficult. You guys did a flawless somersault, a perfect ten, but the
:35:23. > :35:32.difficulty level was not as hard. You did a double and a gerbil
:35:33. > :35:33.somersault. It is a singing competition, Deke.
:35:34. > :35:38.Only one of these two groups will go through to the next round.
:35:39. > :35:41.The other, well I'm afraid we will be bidding you a final farewell.
:35:42. > :35:46.Deciding their fate is the themed Rip-Off!
:35:47. > :35:48.Deciding their fate is the themed Riff-Off!
:35:49. > :35:59.Let's reveal to the audience at home what your theme is!
:36:00. > :36:21.Crazy horses, crazy horses! Literally no one got that reference.
:36:22. > :36:28.Very Best of luck, everyone. See you later.
:36:29. > :36:39.It's Portsmouth University Gospel Choir versus All the King's Men!
:36:40. > :36:48.# You've got that something, what can I do?
:36:49. > :37:02.# Woah cra-a-zy, but it feels alright.
:37:03. > :37:08.# Baby thinking of you keeps me up all night.
:37:09. > :37:12.# Crazy crazy crazy 'til we see the sun.
:37:13. > :37:16.# I know we only met but let's pretend it's love.
:37:17. > :37:19.# And never never never stop for an-y-one.
:37:20. > :37:33.# Wanna live wanna live wann live wanna live while we're young.
:37:34. > :37:36.# Wanna live wanna live wann live wanna live while we're...
:37:37. > :38:03.# I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying.
:38:04. > :38:30.# And I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy.
:38:31. > :38:34.# I'm feeling quite insane and young again.
:38:35. > :38:48.# And all because I'm mad about the boy.
:38:49. > :38:58.# In a world full of people there's only some want to fly-y-y.
:38:59. > :39:08.# But we're never gonna survive unless.
:39:09. > :39:17.# No no never gonna to survive unless
:39:18. > :39:35.# I look and stare so deep in your eyes.
:39:36. > :39:37.# I touch on you more and more every time.
:39:38. > :39:40.# When you leave I'm begging you not to go.
:39:41. > :39:43.# Call your name two or three times in a row.
:39:44. > :39:47.# Your love's got me looking so crazy right now.
:39:48. > :39:49.# Lookin so crazy your love's got me looking.
:39:50. > :40:19.CHEERING Oh, my word. Too much love again.
:40:20. > :40:27.Too much hugging, I am going into separate them. Come on, gangs. I
:40:28. > :40:34.have to separate you out, darling. Are you feeling this? This is
:40:35. > :40:44.unbelievable, this is amazing. Now, how did it feel doing the old Crazy
:40:45. > :40:49.in front of the man himself? It is amazing, to sing it on its own is
:40:50. > :40:56.amazing, but to sing it in front of him... I know, it is so weird
:40:57. > :41:01.looking up there, it is like my CD collection come to life. I cannot
:41:02. > :41:07.deal with it. 400 million records have been sold collectively by that
:41:08. > :41:15.bunch. Oh, my goodness. Please tell me that you are Rob. You are Rob.
:41:16. > :41:21.Yes. A spitting image of the young roofers Sule. Is anyone with me? I
:41:22. > :41:26.noticed you were doing amazing singing and some trumpeting in
:41:27. > :41:35.there. We like playing around with sounds in rehearsing and we wanted
:41:36. > :41:40.to try it out. Multitasking, lovely Rob. Judges, only one can go through
:41:41. > :41:45.to the next round. Gareth, you have to give me some comments. I feel
:41:46. > :41:53.like Bruno Tonioli and I want to stand up, it was so great. Do it.
:41:54. > :41:59.All The King's Men, sometimes feedback about a cappella is that it
:42:00. > :42:08.is cold, but you brought heart and fronted it, but you are up against a
:42:09. > :42:17.immensely warm and passionate group, that let you down a bit, but
:42:18. > :42:20.fabulous. I would be standing. Both groups brought something really
:42:21. > :42:27.different but really great to the show. Portsmouth, you are so warm.
:42:28. > :42:32.You guys are so lovable and exciting and the energy is great. There are
:42:33. > :42:37.some cheery issues, but there were chewing issues with All The King's
:42:38. > :42:42.Men as well. But you do so many creative things that I love. One
:42:43. > :42:50.group is about to be cast out of the final. It is decision time. Gareth,
:42:51. > :42:55.which group would you like to see going forward into the next round?
:42:56. > :42:57.The group I want to see in the next round, despite a fantastic
:42:58. > :43:07.performance here, is All The King's Men. Which group would you like to
:43:08. > :43:14.see going through tonight? You are both amazing, well done, I am going
:43:15. > :43:20.with Portsmouth. Deke, the decision lies with you all stop it is up to
:43:21. > :43:26.you. He is in tatters. Which group would you like to see going through
:43:27. > :43:30.to the next round? I want both of your albums, but based upon the
:43:31. > :43:40.incredible risks, I have got to go with All The King's Men. Which means
:43:41. > :43:45.very sadly we have to say goodbye to Portsmouth University Gospel Choir.
:43:46. > :43:53.Oh, guys, just amazing. There is a lot of hugging going on. Thank you.
:43:54. > :43:59.Now, listen, going through to the a cappella battles is All The King's
:44:00. > :44:06.Men. Are you prepared for this? George, the pressure is on. Yes, it
:44:07. > :44:13.is and we will give it our all. We better believe it. She is off. You
:44:14. > :44:16.cannot stop her. We now know that All The King's Men will be joining
:44:17. > :44:23.Scot Sole in the a cappella round. But now, let's meet tonight's final
:44:24. > :44:26.two groups about to take to the stage for their Superstar
:44:27. > :44:28.Collaborations. And up first, it's our
:44:29. > :44:30.vocal harmony group, the Leeds Contemporary Singers
:44:31. > :44:39.with Will Young! Leeds take what we think about the
:44:40. > :44:44.choir and do something for this generation. There is something very
:44:45. > :44:49.fresh about them and it excites me. When he walked towards as I got him
:44:50. > :44:55.in the headlight. We are going to win it. The next day I was back at
:44:56. > :45:00.work and they were back doing exams. But they could not stop smiling. To
:45:01. > :45:04.get this opportunity to perform in front of millions will be amazing
:45:05. > :45:06.and that will give us the extra bit of a fight for the final.
:45:07. > :45:10.Singing with their Superstar Guest Judge, it's Will Young
:45:11. > :45:26.# You're making me feel like you and I could be real.
:45:27. > :46:02.# I can't keep wasting my time on your game.
:46:03. > :46:46.# I can't keep wasting my time on your game.
:46:47. > :47:46.Will, it is emotional. I have to say, lovely to see you. You always
:47:47. > :47:58.bring it when you come. Local what we have got, the sleeveless onesie.
:47:59. > :48:08.But hey, look at Kelis, I have got to bring it. You could swap. Leeds,
:48:09. > :48:15.Hannah, you have got a big fan in Will Young. What was that like for
:48:16. > :48:23.you? We absolutely love him. We are massive fan. He came up with this
:48:24. > :48:28.idea the day after we were the winners, he is amazing. I just
:48:29. > :48:33.wanted to shine myself! Come closer, you are too far away! Time to meet
:48:34. > :48:38.their competition. from Aberystwyth, it's Sgarmes
:48:39. > :48:50.with Jermaine Jackson! This is the first competition we
:48:51. > :49:01.have ever entered and it was all about the nerves. We really wanted
:49:02. > :49:13.it. Hey, Sgarmes, you are the wild card. I am just overwhelmed to have
:49:14. > :49:18.met such a legend. Amazing. We always had music in our house
:49:19. > :49:22.growing up, the Jacksons always were part of that. You have sole and
:49:23. > :49:29.feeling on stage. I hope that we do him proud. Please welcome pop legend
:49:30. > :49:44.Jermaine Jackson and Sgarmes. # Where there is love,
:49:45. > :50:06.I'll be there. # Build my world
:50:07. > :50:14.of dreams around you. # I'll be there with
:50:15. > :50:22.a love that's strong. # I'll be your strength,
:50:23. > :50:29.I'll keep holdin' on. # If you should ever
:50:30. > :52:10.find someone new. Jermaine Jackson, so nice to see
:52:11. > :52:17.you. Nice to be here. This is too much. I am touching a Jackson. Come
:52:18. > :52:25.along, this is all too much. So good to have you here. Happy to be here.
:52:26. > :52:30.Have you sung with choirs before? Tell you the truth this is my first
:52:31. > :52:40.time and they are sensational. The feeling, the emotion. What they do
:52:41. > :52:47.makes me do more. So God. Hedge, are you all right, are you coping? I'm
:52:48. > :52:56.very emotional, everyone is in tears. Wipe yourself down. I think
:52:57. > :53:04.I'm having a bit of a crisis. Hedge, you have the best name in the whole
:53:05. > :53:09.studio. Really I think you have said it all, the emotion is there, it has
:53:10. > :53:18.been incredible. I'm going now, we need to settle ourselves. Let's
:53:19. > :53:23.bring back Leeds can to greet singers now. And for now given up
:53:24. > :53:38.for Jermaine Jackson. -- contemporary singers.
:53:39. > :53:53.We are in tatters, absolute tatters. Please use the sleeve. Not on the
:53:54. > :54:03.nose, if possible. Now Kelis, what are your thoughts? Leeds, sonically
:54:04. > :54:08.that blend is so beautiful, masterful. You are the perfect
:54:09. > :54:13.summary broke, technique oriented and then all that heart which I
:54:14. > :54:21.love. And then Sgarmes obviously, you guys know, I love you guys, you
:54:22. > :54:27.have a family feeling, it is so special and what this is all about.
:54:28. > :54:30.There's one place left in the next round, but who is worthy
:54:31. > :54:41.Deciding their fate is the final themed Rif-Off.
:54:42. > :54:58.Let's reveal to the audience at home what your theme is.
:54:59. > :55:07.I hereby decree that the theme is Royalty!
:55:08. > :55:10.Who will become homecoming queen and who will receive a royal wave
:55:11. > :55:30.In tonight's third and final live Riff-Off by quite
:55:31. > :55:32.literally royal appointment, it's the Leeds Contemporary
:55:33. > :55:49.# Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
:55:50. > :55:59.# That kind of lux just ain't for us.
:56:00. > :56:01.# We crave a different kind a buzz.
:56:02. > :56:47.# But if you want a play with me you better learn the rules.
:56:48. > :57:13.# Buys an eight by twelve four bit room.
:57:14. > :57:40.# I wanna feel like you've let me go.
:57:41. > :57:45.# Let go of every thing, let go, let go.
:57:46. > :58:19.# You can dance, you can jive.
:58:20. > :58:31.# Ooh ooh see that girl, watch that scene.
:58:32. > :59:04.# To absolutely drive you wild, wild.
:59:05. > :59:33.APPLAUSE. Oh my goodness. The bar is being
:59:34. > :59:40.raised ever higher. Enough of the chitchat. We are not at a cocktail
:59:41. > :59:47.party. Get into your groups. That was an absolutely brilliant version
:59:48. > :59:54.of dancing Queen. So wonderful. Enjoyable or stressful? Very
:59:55. > :00:02.enjoyable, we thought we should play to our strengths and something
:00:03. > :00:10.different. So good. Sgarmes, I get the feeling you rather liked being
:00:11. > :00:17.up on the balcony. It is nice to rock out with the band a little bit.
:00:18. > :00:24.And they are an amazing band. Extraordinary. Lovely stuff. Only
:00:25. > :00:31.one group can go through. Let's hear from our own king of the castle,
:00:32. > :00:39.Deke Sharon, as an American, did you love that Rafa off? It was
:00:40. > :00:43.fantastic. Let me start with Sgarmes, you sing with so much love
:00:44. > :00:48.and even though it is not perfect some of the time, I often do not
:00:49. > :00:52.care and that is about the highest compliment you can get. For people
:00:53. > :00:56.who work all day with this kind of stuff. You made me well up with
:00:57. > :01:04.tears when you were singing I'll be there. But I have to say comic you
:01:05. > :01:10.said you were playing to your strengths but everything is your
:01:11. > :01:56.strength. You sing with precision, you have got swagger.
:01:57. > :02:02.It is wonderful, it is such a pleasure to listen to you, Leeds,
:02:03. > :02:14.you are the guys to beat. One group is about to face the chop. Judges,
:02:15. > :02:19.it is decision time. Deke, which group would you like to see
:02:20. > :02:26.progressing into the next round. These guys need to go pro, it is
:02:27. > :02:32.Leeds. Kelis, which group would you like to see going through to the
:02:33. > :02:43.next round. As much as my heart goes out, I have to go with Leeds as
:02:44. > :02:47.well. So we do have a winner. But, Gareth, out of interest which group
:02:48. > :02:52.would you have gone with? Leads all the way for me, they are fantastic.
:02:53. > :03:02.We have got to say goodbye to Sgarmes. You were absolutely super.
:03:03. > :03:11.This is a very intense group hug. Congratulations, you were brilliant.
:03:12. > :03:17.Leeds, well done. Go and give yourself some knighthoods. A final
:03:18. > :03:27.round of applause for Leeds contemporary singers and Sgarmes. We
:03:28. > :03:31.are walking and talking at the same time. Now.
:03:32. > :03:35.So, three groups are left in the running to win Pitch Battle
:03:36. > :03:37.and as it's the final, we thought we'd ramp
:03:38. > :03:41.It's time for the A Cappella Battles.
:03:42. > :03:44.Our groups are now going to have to sing A Cappella so no help
:03:45. > :03:47.from our quite frankly amazing band whatsoever.
:03:48. > :03:54.You heard, put down your drum sticks, drummer Neil!
:03:55. > :04:04.But as luck might have it, we have a fella who knows a lot
:04:05. > :04:08.That's right, it's our very own Deke Sharon.
:04:09. > :04:24.Thank you. Deke, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. You know all about
:04:25. > :04:28.a cappella. How hard is it to sing? It is the hardest. These people are
:04:29. > :04:35.singing without any safety net and one person goes out of tune and the
:04:36. > :04:40.whole thing can unravel. It is high stakes, live television. Anything
:04:41. > :04:49.can happen. Is it easier if there is a large group? Can you hide in the
:04:50. > :04:57.background? Not always. Take heed, groups, Alfredo a cappella has
:04:58. > :05:06.spoken. Up first group that has been mustering support to home. The
:05:07. > :05:12.community support around Loch Lomond has been amazing. It is lovely to
:05:13. > :05:17.put on a special show for the people that mean the world for us. We would
:05:18. > :05:20.love to win the final for them. A cappella is something the Scots have
:05:21. > :05:26.never done before. There is only five of us. If they have a larger
:05:27. > :05:33.group, they can create a fuller sound. We want to show Gareth Malone
:05:34. > :05:36.that we can do this. Performing their a cappella song it is Scot
:05:37. > :05:43.Sole. # Yes, I do, I believe
:05:44. > :05:47.that one day I will be. # Where I was right
:05:48. > :05:51.there right next to you. # And it's hard the days
:05:52. > :05:54.just seem so dark. # The moon and the stars
:05:55. > :05:59.are nothing without you. # No words can explain
:06:00. > :06:12.the way I'm missing you. # Deny this emptiness,
:06:13. > :06:15.this hole that I'm in. # These tears they
:06:16. > :06:18.tell their own story. # Told me not to cry
:06:19. > :06:26.when you were gone. # But the feeling's overwhelming,
:06:27. > :06:36.it's much too strong. # I don't want to be
:06:37. > :07:34.here if I can't be with you. CHEERING
:07:35. > :07:40.Spine tingling stuff. Feeling the pressure next it is a
:07:41. > :07:48.group that has been preparing for the final by getting down with the
:07:49. > :07:53.kids. Because it is a cappella at the judges will be expecting a
:07:54. > :07:58.different level from us. It is what we are all about. They should be
:07:59. > :08:04.detailed, exciting and innovative. The expectation is huge. It will be
:08:05. > :08:09.a challenge for us to up our game for this performance. We have been
:08:10. > :08:13.doing workshops and the coolest thing is seeing people who have
:08:14. > :08:17.watched the programme and they want to do it themselves. The kids
:08:18. > :08:18.supporting as is one of the best things and we would love to be able
:08:19. > :08:33.to win for them. # Why does love always
:08:34. > :09:38.feel like a battlefield. # We could pretend we
:09:39. > :09:40.are friends tonight. # And in the morning we'll wake up
:09:41. > :09:42.and we'll be alright. # Why does love always
:09:43. > :09:53.feel like a battlefield. # Guess you better go
:09:54. > :10:38.and get your armour. Finally, it is Leeds Contemporary
:10:39. > :10:41.Singers Who Hope A Winter Night Will Be The Final Thing. With Our
:10:42. > :10:46.Arrangement It Is Unique To Our Sound And Our Style. They Are Not An
:10:47. > :10:53.A Cappella Group Because They Have Got All The Tools. We Could Not Do
:10:54. > :10:59.This Without Our Friends And Family. For Us To Become Champions Would be
:11:00. > :11:09.everything for our group. And here they are, it is Leeds
:11:10. > :11:17.Contemporary Singers. # I have given all myself
:11:18. > :11:22.all that I had left to give. # All the reasons
:11:23. > :11:24.I confront, no more # Tell me what would
:11:25. > :11:33.be enough, be enough, # If you're still
:11:34. > :11:42.searching for something. # We'll never see
:11:43. > :11:49.how far we've come. # Take my heart back
:11:50. > :12:03.from your hands. # And my pride back
:12:04. > :12:06.from your sheets. # If you're still
:12:07. > :12:23.searching for something. # If you're still
:12:24. > :12:27.searching for something. # We'll never see
:12:28. > :13:25.how far we've come. Well done, goodness me. That must
:13:26. > :13:29.have been absolutely terrifying. Natalie, how was that singing
:13:30. > :13:35.completely without a ban? Different, very emotional. It was about the
:13:36. > :13:46.people who cannot be in the audience tonight. Todd, do you feel there is
:13:47. > :13:52.a bit of pressure because you are an a cappella group already. Was there
:13:53. > :13:55.double pressure on you? Yes, absolutely. There is so much high
:13:56. > :14:04.risk and high expectation and anything can happen. Thomas, hello.
:14:05. > :14:13.You let rip. You gave that everything. How was it? Yes, we have
:14:14. > :14:20.never done anything like this before but we really enjoyed it. We knew we
:14:21. > :14:28.were in good hands because of Atkin's arrangement. Well done,
:14:29. > :14:34.Atkin. Now, they were all amazing that only two can make it through to
:14:35. > :14:41.face the viewer vote. Any of the groups surprise you? It was not a
:14:42. > :14:48.surprise for me that All The King's Men owned a cappella. It was not
:14:49. > :14:53.your finest, but you have the skills for that. But a real surprise for me
:14:54. > :14:58.to see the other groups. Natalie, that solo was wonderful and you were
:14:59. > :15:02.beautifully supported. I loved it and it was a challenge getting the
:15:03. > :15:09.clean lines and need a solo like that is a challenge. But over here,
:15:10. > :15:20.when it gelled, boy, did it gelled. Amazing. As much as the jail on your
:15:21. > :15:25.head tonight, Gareth. You had a big hit with a song called a cappella
:15:26. > :15:33.which you sang with a band. Yes, I did. I can use metaphors like you
:15:34. > :15:38.know. What did you think? It is such a challenge to sing a cappella and
:15:39. > :15:46.it is your domain and it is beautiful and it worked. Scot Soul,
:15:47. > :15:53.there are things that you can work on. Leeds, it did take a second to
:15:54. > :16:03.get there, but once you got in it was beautiful. For the final time,
:16:04. > :16:09.judges, you have one decision to make before you relinquish control
:16:10. > :16:10.to the viewing public. Decide who you want to put through to the final
:16:11. > :16:28.battle. Are you ready? Gareth, please tell
:16:29. > :16:34.us the first group you would like to see go through to the final battle
:16:35. > :16:40.and viewer vote. This is going to be an amazing final sing. The group I
:16:41. > :16:48.would like to put through, I have championed you since the beginning,
:16:49. > :16:52.it is All The King's Men. All The King's Men, you are through to the
:16:53. > :17:01.final battle. Only one group can join you, will it be Scot Soul or
:17:02. > :17:06.Leeds Contemporary Singers. Kelis, which group would you like to put
:17:07. > :17:10.through to the final battle and viewer vote? Scot Soul, I have loved
:17:11. > :17:16.you from the beginning and if you want to be in this you can take it
:17:17. > :17:22.on the road and do it but I have to say, Leeds Contemporary Singers, you
:17:23. > :17:31.guys rock my world. APPLAUSE. I'm afraid Scot Soul, that
:17:32. > :17:39.means your time with us is at an end. We absolutely loved having you
:17:40. > :17:43.on the show. I am giving you big waves from over here. Ladies and
:17:44. > :17:54.gentlemen, a massive round of applause for Scot Soul.
:17:55. > :18:02.Thank you. We love them. Goodbye, guys. I know we will see more of
:18:03. > :18:05.them. Huge congratulations to All The King's Men and Leeds
:18:06. > :18:11.Contemporary Singers, you are through to the viewer vote. The
:18:12. > :18:17.power now lies with you, dear viewers. The judges can no longer
:18:18. > :18:23.make any decisions. You have the power.
:18:24. > :18:26.So what are you waiting for because voting is now open!
:18:27. > :18:29.You can vote for your favourite group right now.
:18:30. > :18:35.You've got just over ten minutes so get voting!
:18:36. > :18:37.Full terms and conditions are on the website and remember
:18:38. > :18:45.please don't try to vote if you are watching On Demand.
:18:46. > :18:53.It will not work and you will feel silly. Finalists, All The King's
:18:54. > :19:04.Men, let's take another look at them, monochrome bards. You're
:19:05. > :19:12.looking slightly Gothic. I am massively backpedalling. What is it
:19:13. > :19:22.going to mean to you to win tonight? It would mean the world. It would be
:19:23. > :19:34.the icing on the cake and to sing with guys like these, that is the
:19:35. > :19:40.dream for us. It is not cool to talk about money but Thomas, what would
:19:41. > :19:47.you spend the prize money on? Not you personally, the group! We want
:19:48. > :19:53.to invest in the group. This group we have is new, we started it for
:19:54. > :20:01.the show and we would like to keep going after the show whatever
:20:02. > :20:05.happens tonight. Thank you so much. I'm sure that Will Young will be
:20:06. > :20:12.keeping a close eye on whatever happens. I love you all. Thank you
:20:13. > :20:24.so much. They're about to go head-to-head in the final battle. So
:20:25. > :20:37.your vote counts and if you have not made up your mind let me remind you
:20:38. > :20:51.using the power of montage. # Tell me, are you that somebody?
:20:52. > :21:03.# Don't matter who you are... # Got me looking so crazy right
:21:04. > :21:12.now... # Battlefield, a battlefield.
:21:13. > :21:27.# Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
:21:28. > :21:34.# What are you going to do? # Always the same.
:21:35. > :21:40.# Every day. # I cant be wasting my time on your
:21:41. > :21:49.game. # You can dance, you can jive.
:21:50. > :21:59.# Having the time of your life. # See that girl, watch that scene...
:22:00. > :22:19.# What is love... # Higher, higher...
:22:20. > :22:23.And they are competing for the ?50,000 prize and the trophy. If you
:22:24. > :22:30.still need help deciding the winner I have just the thing. Singing for
:22:31. > :22:31.your votes, the final battle with all The King's Men versus Leeds
:22:32. > :22:39.Contemporary Singers. # There's a fire
:22:40. > :22:41.starting in my heart. # Reaching a fever pitch,
:22:42. > :22:44.and it's bringing me out the dark. # Finally, I can see
:22:45. > :22:49.you crystal clear. # Go ahead and sell me out,
:22:50. > :22:55.and I'll lay your ship bare. # The scars of your
:22:56. > :22:59.love remind me of us. # They keep me thinking
:23:00. > :23:02.that we almost had it # The scars of your
:23:03. > :23:06.love, they leave me # I can't help feeling #
