Blind Auditions 2: Highlights The Voice LOUDER

Hello

and welcome once again

to The Voice...

Louder!

The place that licks the icing off the cake that is The Voice.

Plus, all the best bits mashed up, remixed and sometimes

filtered through the unique brain of

Will.i.am.

So, what I want you to do is take a picture of some squirrels.

Why?

Because squirrels like nuts.

But first, all rise for the highlights

from the second blind

auditions.

# And I'm so sick of love songs... #

'The second round of blind auditions started well for Jamie Johnson,

'but not so good for a certain Welsh coach.'

It

was hard for me to tell

if it was a girl or a boy up there.

- 'Yeah, bit awkward!' - Which is not a bad thing...

'Keep digging, Tom!'

Sometimes it's hard to visualise who, or, or whether it's...

'And

all this from a man who sang

She's a Lady. Did you check, Tom?'

'Next up, Mairead Conlon blew everyone away

'with that big voice of hers.'

'When not singing, Mairead runs a swimming school for dogs.

'Her techniques are harsh, but effective!'

'Lewis Clay didn't get the coaches turning.'

# I was crying just to get you... #

Push the button!

Later on, Will taught Lewis how to ride a horse.

If you're riding a horse, right?

You're riding a horse and you ain't strapped in...

'Rein it in, will!' HE

WHINNIES

# Don't your

feet get

cold in the wintertime... #

'Will liked Jimmy Weston,

'because he reminded him of his favourite sea mammal.'

You

know what I like about you?

You're kind of like a dolphin, you know what I'm saying?

'Tom, however, knows what he likes, and it isn't singing dolphins.'

I like when I hear... a human coming through!

'But fresh from his stint as a coach on The Voice: Jupiter,

'Will is still excited about what he heard there.'

Have you heard aliens singing before?

'Will has. In his head, at least. Every

day.'

'Our artists don't just sing, they have hidden talents.

'Some of which should stay hidden.

'So, who has got something up their sleeve this week?

'It's Will's dolphin boy, Jimmy

Weston, who can do magic.

'In a Jamaican accent.'

So, you want to see a party trick?

With this card, this Oyster card here?

Watch very closely.

Because I'm gonna mek it float up into

de air.

Whoa! So, there you go, that's my party trick.

Doesn't get me cheaper fares.

- 'What did you think of

that, Will?'

- It's kinda like a dolphin.

'Jimmy Weston there, The Voice's very own Dynamo.'

# Fell in love with a boy

# I fell in love once and... #

'You wait all year for a former soap star to appear on The Voice,

'and then two come along at once.

'First Kylie, then ex-Emmerdale actress Kelsey-Beth.'

'Kylie tried to persuade Kelsey-Beth

'to join her

team,

with her soap past.'

- So, you were in a soap opera? - I was, yes.

Can I just ask, where is Emmerdale set again?

- Leeds.

- Leeds, yeah!

- Yeah, Leeds. I know it well, yeah. - Ricky!

'But that didn't wash. Ricky's smooth pitch

won the day.'

I-I-I've fallen for it.

CHEERING

'So, it's that time of the show when the coaches answer those burning

'questions we'd

all like to know the answers to.'

Hi, I'm Kelsey-Beth and I have a question for Kylie.

And it is, what was it like, singing with a frog?

When I sang with Kermit? Was it weird?

It was too amazing and too magical to be weird. I was in heaven.

Sir Tom Jones is one thing, but Kermit the Frog is another.

'And now, it's time for a commercial break.'

Hi, I'm Tom Jones and I'm back for Series 3

of The Voice,

and we've got a brand-new app. It's great fun.

Listen to exclusive previews and decide

if you'd turn.

Rate the performances and see

how your decisions compare to other HomeCoaches.

The more your turns match ours, the more stars you will earn.

Tell us

who you turn for, then

watch the show to see if I agree.

Welcome back. Next up, Bob Blakeley

made everyone sit up.

# Now you say... #

'But sadly, not turn.'

The

four of us didn't turn round,

but I think you just made the whole

country get off their seats, and everyone in the crowd...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.

'If you want to see coaches turning, try the car park at Watford Services,

'because it wasn't happening here for Bob Blakeley.'

# I, I who have nothing... #

'Miles Anthony got no turns.

'But he had the consolation

of

meeting the lovely Emma Willis.'

You are a wonderful, wonderful man.

Can I meet Marvin before I go?

Oh, it's like that, is it?

'JLS fans, they're everywhere.'

I cry with you, I hug you,

I love you, and you want Marvin!

'Next up, Sophie

May.'

# If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting

# Time after time... #

'Sneaky Willy was back with some extra sneaky

'last-minute

sneaky

button pushing.'

'And Will.i.am revealed his tips for chart success to Sophie.'

When I was 17 years old, I used to go to thrift stores

and, um,

buy second-hand clothes and dress like an old man,

because that was my style.

'This week, Will advised to Sophie to buy second-hand clothes

'and dress like an old man.

'So, in no way shoehorning that into the show,

'we'd like you

to send in photos and

videos of you dressed as a pensioner.

'Or perhaps just dress normally, if you are an actual pensioner.

'Simply post

them to Twitter,

Facebook or Instagram,

'with the hashtag...'

# I'm not going to leave you

# There's no way

# I wi-i-i-i-i-ll... #

'The Voice is just a small step to greater things

for Jermain Jackman.'

I volunteer a lot, I'm into politics as well, so...

- Oh! - Yes!

That's what I'm talking about!

So, you

are a singing

politician, then?

Actually, there was a headline saying

that I would be the first singing black

Prime Minister.

'That would make Prime Minister's Questions

much more fun!'

Well, that's it all wrapped up for this week.

Join us next week for

all this.

'We have another bumper crop of hot new talent

gracing The Voice stage.'

I love that!

And don't forget

to play along

at home with The Voice app.

We'll be back next week, same time, same place,

for more from The Voice...

- Louder! - Bye for now.

Because squirrels like nuts.
