0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains very strong language
0:00:04 > 0:00:05'Reggie Yates - on BBC Radio 1.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09'The official chart with Reggie Yates.'
0:00:09 > 0:00:10Yeah, number 15 is just around the corner,
0:00:10 > 0:00:12we are getting closer and closer.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18I present the official chart show on Radio 1 and host TV talent shows.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22But now I'm taking on something completely different.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Condoms, syphilis, gonorrhoea,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Chlamydia, cat AIDS.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33Ruth is one of 300,000 people in the UK with Tourette Syndrome.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Jellylegs!
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Like Ruth, Steve lives with constant physical and verbal tics.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41HE TICS
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Look out.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49But music has an extraordinary effect on their lives.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55# Oh, no, I see
0:00:55 > 0:01:00# A spider web and I'm caught in the middle... #
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I was surprised to discover that when they perform,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05their tics completely disappear.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11# Lettuce, lettuce, lettuce Lettuce, lettuce... #
0:01:13 > 0:01:16# Oooh, baby Don't you know I suffer?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19# Ooh, baby Can you hear me moan? #
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm staging a big musical event.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And I've scoured the country looking for young people
0:01:27 > 0:01:31with Tourette's, who have real musical talent.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But it's been no ordinary journey.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Oop. God.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43SCREAMS
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Only when they all met each other
0:01:45 > 0:01:47did I realise the enormity of the task I'd set myself.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Out the door, go.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53To say I am anxious is a massive understatement.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56But music is their passion, and hopefully
0:01:56 > 0:01:58this will be the greatest performance of their lives.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00# You will find him
0:02:00 > 0:02:03# You'll find him next to me. #
0:02:03 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's eight weeks until the show
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and I've brought all six performers to London for their first session
0:02:17 > 0:02:22with vocal coach Jo Price and musical director Chris Egan.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27If you ask anyone who puts on a show or gets people to perform,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29eight weeks is a short space of time,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and the toughest thing is we're taking people
0:02:32 > 0:02:35who haven't done this before, so over the eight weeks,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I think there will be a series of challenges
0:02:37 > 0:02:38and today is the first step.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Let me show you the exercises that I like to use...
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Like to use.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46That was good.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And, er, we can take it from there and if there are any you don't
0:02:49 > 0:02:53get on with, then you can think of something you'd prefer to do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Prefer!- Then just tell me. All right?- Yeah!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59# Mimi mimi mimi mimi miiii... #
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Just keep that straight line.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Through a series of warm-up exercises,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I've asked Jo to assess their vocal strengths and weaknesses.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08# Mimi mimi mimi mimi mimi miiii... #
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Your pitching's great, Ruth.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13A great natural, raw instrument. Very nice.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Because your voice is phat.- PHAT!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# Dooby, dooby, dooby, dooby
0:03:17 > 0:03:18# Dooby, dooby, dooby, dooby
0:03:18 > 0:03:20# Booby, dooby, dooby, dooby... #
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Booby! I keep saying booby. D'oh!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25# Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh... #
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Sometimes I can do it and at other times I can't!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30It's because it's underused, because you never go there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It quickly becomes clear that I've underestimated just how much they'll
0:03:35 > 0:03:39need to develop if they're to sing live in front of hundreds of people.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Argh!- Why did you stop then?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I don't know, I have this confidence issue that
0:03:46 > 0:03:49if I've done it wrong, I can't,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I just have a habit of just stopping.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55# Nimini, nimini, nimini, nimini, nimini... #
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Sorry about this!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- (HIGHER) # Nimini, nimini, nimini Nimini, nimini... #- Last one.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03(HIGHER) # Nimini, nimini, nimini Nimini, nimini... #
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Sorry, it's just a really funny thing to be...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Beautiful. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's just, oh, it really makes me laugh. Nimini?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13# Nimini! # Imagine someone walking on stage with a mic just going,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15# Nimini, nimini, nimini Nimini, nimini... #
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And you've got all these fucking...
0:04:18 > 0:04:22As confidence is crucial, I want each of them to perform songs
0:04:22 > 0:04:24which suit their voice and personality.
0:04:24 > 0:04:2817-year-old student Tom had bought along his choice of tracks,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30which he'd like to sing at the event.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32They're all Michael Buble songs.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Not all of them!
0:04:33 > 0:04:38No, no, they're not all originally Michael Buble though, are they?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40No, but they're all...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- You've got a bit of a thing with Michael, haven't you?- I have, yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Do you love him?- I do, yeah, I'd love to meet him one day.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Have you never met him?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Nope, my aim is to be bigger and better than him though, even though
0:04:53 > 0:04:58I love him, my aim is to get to his level and beyond,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- that's my aim in life.- Is it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03# Me and Mrs Jones... #
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Tom was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome when he was 13 years old.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09When I was first diagnosed, Mum used to say to me,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12"Oh, you'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be gone."
0:05:12 > 0:05:14And I'd wake up and I was still the same.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22I've got a whole range of tics I keep going "uh" like that,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24and I've had that for about two years.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29My blinking is me when I've got too much energy,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I just blink loads. It tires me out loads.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I would like to have a day when I don't have to have Tourette's.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40# We meet every day At the same cafe... #
0:05:40 > 0:05:46# We meet every day At the same cafe
0:05:46 > 0:05:53# 6.30, and no-one knows she'll be there... #
0:05:53 > 0:06:00- We've got to burst this Buble bubble.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03You know, you're too attached to him, he's getting in the way
0:06:03 > 0:06:07of you and you've got a brilliant instrument, some of the notes
0:06:07 > 0:06:11in there and the tone you've got, beautiful, stunning,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15but it's about being able to take those and make them yours,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18so we need to just get away from bubble songs.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24How would you feel, Tom, if we banned his name in all sessions,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- and I asked you not to listen to him, from now?- All right. OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yeah?- Yeah, OK, all right.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Coon.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I don't know quite what my voice sounds like, at the moment,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44because obviously I sound a bit too much like
0:06:44 > 0:06:46the guy who should not be mentioned.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53But obviously I need to work with Jo on creating my own, sort of, artist.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56# The fire fades away
0:06:56 > 0:06:58# Most of everyday
0:06:58 > 0:07:01# Is full of tired excuses... #
0:07:01 > 0:07:0615-year-old school girl Emilly has a lovely tone to her voice.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10# I wish it was simple But we give up easily... #
0:07:10 > 0:07:13But she looks terrified when she's singing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16# Close enough to see that
0:07:16 > 0:07:23# You're the other side of the world to me. #
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh, urgh.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Thank you very much!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Why did you make the scared noise at the end? That was so sweet.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Mmmm...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Were you scared all the way through?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41There were moments when I felt like you were connecting with the lyrics
0:07:41 > 0:07:46and there were moments when I thought you were just terrified.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yeah. I don't know.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53My biggest challenge is believing in myself,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57because I kind of don't.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Emilly's tics include involuntary twitching
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and uncontrollable falling to the ground.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Until the age of four, Emilly's mum, Brigitte,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12didn't know what was wrong with her daughter.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15When Emilly was first diagnosed with Tourette's,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17it was like a great weight had been lifted,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21because she'd actually been given a diagnosis.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-itchy Ritchie. Like that!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Whereas doctors had kept saying she was attention seeking,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but it was quite obvious she wasn't attention seeking.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I dunno, a lot of people do know I have it
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and teachers know I have it and stuff, and at school it's fine,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and if I'm out of school, just out and about,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42people don't really ask,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45because they're embarrassed or a bit freaked out sometimes, yep!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49But, yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51MUSIC: "The City" by Ed Sheeran
0:08:51 > 0:08:57Biscuits, crackers, custard creams, bourbons, rich teas, lesbians.
0:08:57 > 0:08:5925-year-old Ruth was forced to quit
0:08:59 > 0:09:01her university music course in 2008
0:09:01 > 0:09:04because her Tourette's got in the way of attending lectures.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Vagina for sale, vagina for sale!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hello.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Four years on, she's regained her confidence
0:09:14 > 0:09:16and started to sing again.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22# You could be the one who listens
0:09:22 > 0:09:27# To my fears and inquisitions
0:09:27 > 0:09:29# You could never be... #
0:09:29 > 0:09:34I was amazed to find out that Ruth never tics when she's singing
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Hello!- How are you?- I'm good!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Let me take your things.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44# Is there anyone out there
0:09:44 > 0:09:48# Cos it's getting harder and harder to breathe
0:09:48 > 0:09:50# Is there anyone out there
0:09:50 > 0:09:53# Cos it's getting harder and harder to breathe
0:09:54 > 0:09:57SHE TICS
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Sorry, shitsticks.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07SHE TICS BADLY
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Sorry, shitsticks.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Are you OK, Ruth?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah, just feeling quite ticy and that, shut up.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Why do you think you're feeling so ticy,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17because you haven't really ticed before,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19are you feeling slightly nervous?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Er, yeah, I feel like there's more riding on this now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Why? Porquoi?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I don't know. I really do want to do well
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and I really want to do it well.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Are you feeling as if you're
0:10:32 > 0:10:34putting a bit of pressure upon yourself?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38This is your first day with Jo, don't beat yourself up too much.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's an opportunity to make mistakes this is the point when you
0:10:41 > 0:10:45should be getting things wrong, so don't put pressure on yourself.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- So what are you worried about at the moment?- Shrooms, shrooms.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I feel incredibly anxious for Ruth,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53nerves have got in the way,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55but if she's nervous now what's she going to be like
0:10:55 > 0:10:57when she's in a big old frock on a stage,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01cameras and live band behind her? That's kind of scary.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Do you feel better when you sing?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Yeah, but now I don't feel better.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's because you're piling the pressure on
0:11:10 > 0:11:12and you think there's a lot riding on it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14All right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Am I helping, or making it worse?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19No, it's true.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I know it's true, but it's easy for me to sit here
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and say that, I don't do bullshit.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It's just I've never had that Tourette's like interrupt me
0:11:26 > 0:11:29like that during a song, so that's,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I don't know if frightening is the word, I don't know.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35It's annoying.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I'll get them... I'll get someone to give you my number
0:11:41 > 0:11:46and I just want you to call me, or text me.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49'Oooooh, that was difficult.'
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It really worried me that she said her Tourette's interrupted her
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and that hadn't happened before and I didn't focus on it,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I skipped over it really quickly.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02But I really hope that isn't something
0:12:02 > 0:12:03she's going to think about.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I've worked really hard to get past the point of...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14..of being able to accept the fact I tic, and stuff.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17In there I just felt like I went back,
0:12:17 > 0:12:22regressed back to how I was when I first started ticing.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27So... So, that? Not being able to get my words out.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I actually do want to get good in this time,
0:12:31 > 0:12:38and be spectacular, just concerned now that I won't be able to do that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I won't be able to deliver when it counts,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43because I couldn't deliver when it counted up there,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47slightly left me quite disheartened, you know.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50At the end of a long day, it's the moment of truth.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Will they all be able to pull off a live performance?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55What's your take on the where we are at this stage?
0:12:55 > 0:13:02Emilly, I'm worried that she'll just be so scared.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Yes, she'll get on stage and she'll sing a song
0:13:07 > 0:13:10from beginning to end, but will we be able
0:13:10 > 0:13:13to get her to the point where she does dive in it
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and she actually enjoys it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Steve was awesome. I'm really chuffed with how well
0:13:19 > 0:13:21he did in front of you, I mean you're the person...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Gorgeous.- He's got a really warm tone, hasn't he?
0:13:24 > 0:13:30# Oh, no, I see
0:13:30 > 0:13:34# A spider web It's tangled up with me
0:13:34 > 0:13:40# And I lost my head... #
0:13:42 > 0:13:43'Ooh, depth, the depth!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'Yeah, he's really comfortable in that singer-songwriter thing,'
0:13:46 > 0:13:49which is great and it's loved by a lot of people,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52but it would be nice to push him and get him to do something
0:13:52 > 0:13:54slightly outside that, and see just how comfortable he gets.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I think that's a brilliant idea.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- You reckon?- I think he'd nail whatever you gave him, to be honest.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Yeah. How about little Jake, then? - Ooh!
0:14:04 > 0:14:05What do you wanna do, fella?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Erm, Lego House by Ed Sheeran.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09All right. You know it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Are you a fan of Ed?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Yeah! He's ginger!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18# I'm gonna pick up the pieces
0:14:18 > 0:14:21# And build a Lego house
0:14:21 > 0:14:25# If things go wrong we can knock it down... #
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Jake is 15 and was only diagnosed
0:14:29 > 0:14:31with Tourette Syndrome two years ago.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I find it really hard to tell myself it's your Tourette's,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and I keep on telling myself I must be able to help it,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42but I just couldn't.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43I do spend quite a lot of time in the house,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47because I don't always wanna go out because of my Tourette's.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51If it's bad on a certain day then I feel like,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I don't want to go out and start ticing in front of everyone.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I take five tablets,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01something called Aripiprazole, which is for my Tourette's.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I then also take another one called Concerta,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and two sleeping tablets a night. So, I take eight a day.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Like when I'm in school,
0:15:08 > 0:15:13and I've got to sit inside a classroom all day,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and try to make it look like I'm not different to everyone else,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I just want to be, not the same as everyone else,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22cos I know I'm never gonna be the same as everyone else,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but I just don't want everyone thinking and judging me.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28# If things go wrong we can knock it down... #
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It feels as if the songs that he is doing he can do,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36but he doesn't ever look like he owns the songs that he's singing.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- It's a worry.- Yeah.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Oh, there's lots to worry about! - Yeah, there really is,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and we've only got eight weeks to turn it around.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47If Jo's worried, I'm worried.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'm convinced the right song choice will give them
0:15:50 > 0:15:53the confidence they need.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57You could choose such a broad spectrum of artists for them
0:15:57 > 0:15:59to look at, but the problem is deciding which direction
0:15:59 > 0:16:02they want to go in, that's the really tough thing.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05For someone like Tom, as well as doing something
0:16:05 > 0:16:07that's a little soulful, I think it could be really awesome
0:16:07 > 0:16:10for him to do something that's cool,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14maybe even a little dancey, and possibly even a bit more current
0:16:14 > 0:16:16in comparison to some of the stuff that he has been doing.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19So, I think this could be quite a good idea.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21This is a couple of years old now,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24but still really fresh sounding, Sam Sparro - Black And Gold.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25# Out of the sky
0:16:25 > 0:16:27# And my tears rolled into the ocean... #
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I've given each of our performers
0:16:30 > 0:16:32a list of songs I'd like them to sing.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I'm hoping it will help Tom steer clear of Michael Buble.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43A Song For You. I think I know this one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Hellooooo!- Hello, how are you?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- I'm very well! How are you? - I'm good thanks, nice to see you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49So, tell me about the song choices
0:16:49 > 0:16:52that you've made from the list that Reg gave you.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I liked A Song For You because that's quite a big, powerful song.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I thought you'd like that, actually, you can show off with it.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00But when I went to get the backing tracks the only version
0:17:00 > 0:17:04that wasn't anything else was the Michael Buble.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We've given you a Donny Hathaway song,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and you've found the Michael Buble version?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I knew he did a Michael Buble version, I watched him do it!
0:17:12 > 0:17:18There's no escaping, but I've also got Sam Sparro's song,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Black And Gold, cos I thought that one was quite a nice song
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and I've been watching him on YouTube a lot.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26# And all around these golden beacons
0:17:26 > 0:17:28# I've seen nothing but black... #
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Buble!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# I've been (MUMBLES) something beyond them
0:17:33 > 0:17:36# I don't see what I can feel
0:17:36 > 0:17:39# But vision is the only validation
0:17:39 > 0:17:43# That most of my life is unreal... #
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Right stop, that was all Buble!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48"Validation, my name's Buble."
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Sing it again, try and sing it differently.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54# But vision is the only validation
0:17:54 > 0:17:58# That most of my life is unreal... #
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I don't think it's possible to de-Bublise Tom,
0:18:01 > 0:18:02at this point in his life.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I think we've planted the seed, and that's great,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08we've set him off into different directions,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11which is great, but four sessions is not enough.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It's really important that we challenge all of our performers.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I was impressed with Steve in his first vocal session,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27but I've sent him something different,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30that I believe will be a great fit for his voice.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34# No woman, no cry
0:18:34 > 0:18:36# No woman, no cry... #
0:18:36 > 0:18:39When I first found out I'd got diagnosed with Tourette's,
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I was very...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I didn't know what to think about the actual word, what it meant.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Steve has had Tourette's since he was seven,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and lives at home with his mum, Jayne.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53He'd come home and he'd say,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56"There's something going on in my head and I can't help it."
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I was like, what is this? I thought, is this what life's all about?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I wasn't excited about life, cos I'm a kid
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and I need be all excited and I need to have some drive,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I should have loads of friends, I should be doing all these things.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Look out! It's got a lot worse. Fuck. Just ticing loads more.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22# No woman, no cry
0:19:22 > 0:19:28# No woman, no cry
0:19:28 > 0:19:31# Hey, little sister
0:19:31 > 0:19:35# Don't shed no tears
0:19:35 > 0:19:43# No woman, no cry. #
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You know when we were in London,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48did you sing me a Coldplay track, or something?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Trouble.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And you could hear all the tone in your voice,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57it was just sort of made for it, and I don't feel like...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- No Woman No Cry.- ..shows it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I totally felt like that as well, to be honest with you,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04but I just thought that was what I was stuck with
0:20:04 > 0:20:10- and that's what I've got to do, so... - Oh, no, nothing's set in stone.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I think we could something a little bit more creative or better,
0:20:13 > 0:20:19- I don't know, really, it's a bit... - I agree with you. Yeah, I agree.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It's now only six weeks until we'll all be here in this studio
0:20:24 > 0:20:26in front of a live audience.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30With Steve and Tom not as versatile as I'd hoped for,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Ruth ticing during her performance for the first time ever,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and Emilly's confidence on the floor, I'm hoping our youngest
0:20:37 > 0:20:40singer, Jake, will be blossoming under pressure.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Have you tried Young Folks, Peter, Bjorn and John?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- I have, but I... - Did you not like it?- No.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Why did you not like it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I don't know, I just really didn't like the song.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What's happened to your hand?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Tourette's punched the wall a couple of time, so...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01You're kidding me? Oh, man, what have you done?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Have you fractured something? - No I've just bruised it.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Whoa, whoa.- OK. Fuck off.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09We're not making this worse, are we, in any way,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- by stressing you out and all this?- No, no.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Are you sure? - No, it's just like the song
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I just can't get it to suit my voice,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18like, I find it really hard.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22What were the other songs that we were looking at, Jo?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24We've got The A Team, Ed Sheeran,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28what do you think about that? Let's have a go at that.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32You sing an Ed Sheeran anyway, don't you?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I've seen you sing an Ed Sheeran song before.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35What do you normally sing?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40I sing all his, like Lego House and, what's it, Wake Me Up.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Oh, that's beautiful! Have you heard him do that?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Yeah, no, I've not heard Jake sing that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I'd love to hear A Team, as well.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56# White lips, pale face
0:21:56 > 0:21:59# Breathing in snowflakes
0:21:59 > 0:22:02# Burnt lungs, sour taste
0:22:03 > 0:22:06# Light's gone, day's end
0:22:06 > 0:22:09# Struggling to pay rent... #
0:22:09 > 0:22:13At last! This is really encouraging.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Jake's clearly a massive Ed Sheeran fan,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18and I've got to admit he's doing a pretty good job.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20# Sells love to another man
0:22:20 > 0:22:24# It's too cold outside
0:22:24 > 0:22:26# For angels to fly
0:22:26 > 0:22:28# To fly
0:22:28 > 0:22:31# To fly
0:22:31 > 0:22:33# Angels to die. #
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Jake lives in Bristol with his dad and his mum, Julie.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Most of his friends at school probably don't ever see him tic,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44but then he comes home from school,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48and obviously he has to release those tics. It's like fireworks night.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50He goes off like a rocket.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57HE TICS
0:22:57 > 0:23:00He doesn't have to put up any front in front of us,
0:23:00 > 0:23:05but it's hard, you want to protect them at all costs,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09and sometimes you can't, that decision is taken out of your hands.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- You need to get your hair cut.- Cunt.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- It's getting way too long.- Cunt.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'm not feeling really nervous about the show,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm actually really looking forward to it.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22When I first found out about it I was a bit stressed out,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24because I was a bit nervous about everything,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26the cameras and meeting Reggie and stuff,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30but you just get used to it, and it's all good.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Cunt.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I've started to really question if I've asked them all
0:23:38 > 0:23:39to take on too much.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I've decided to call in on Ruth and see how
0:23:46 > 0:23:51she is after her first voice coaching session didn't go so well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- Hello, how you doing? - Very well. Come in, you Jew.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Hi, Ruth! Watch that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03The last time you were with Jo, things got a bit difficult,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05because you were ticing while you were singing.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09What's going to be different this next time you'll meet up with Jo?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'm think I'm actually looking forward to it,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16I think I'm ready for it, I just feel like
0:24:16 > 0:24:20I don't wanna waste any more time! That's the kind of feeling I have.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Was you not looking forward to the first meeting with Jo?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I was, but I was so exhausted, by the time that it came round
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I was absolutely shattered where I'd been ticing so much
0:24:30 > 0:24:34that day, and I think I then put so much pressure on myself,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36because I was so tired, that I was like,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38"Right, I need to be OK and raring to go
0:24:38 > 0:24:42"and argh, like that,"
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and it just didn't go to plan like that.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Ruth has reminded me why I started this journey and how important it is
0:24:50 > 0:24:54that I, too, don't get disheartened when things aren't going well.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I've got to find the right song for her.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57This is a beautiful song
0:24:57 > 0:24:59that's been covered a million and one times,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03and I think that if she nails it, it could be really special.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06# My love has come along... #
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You can just imagine everyone going "Oh,"
0:25:09 > 0:25:12that is if she hits the note properly.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16The problem with songs like this is that they're so recognisable
0:25:16 > 0:25:22they're actually risky, but when you do it right, it's beautiful.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Helloo!- Hello. How are you, lady?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Good! Good to see you!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32BOTH: To see you nice!
0:25:40 > 0:25:41SHE TICS
0:25:41 > 0:25:47# At last... #
0:25:47 > 0:25:48SLIGHTLY OUT OF TIME
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Nice! Lovely!
0:25:52 > 0:25:57# My love has come along
0:25:57 > 0:26:04OK, from the top, erm and keep it open, so rather than "aeet laeeest,"
0:26:04 > 0:26:07which is your tendency, "aeet laeeest,"
0:26:07 > 0:26:09keep it open...
0:26:09 > 0:26:14# At last... # SHE HOLDS THE NOTE
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Obviously not like that. Better than that, obviously,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19but, you know, just keep it open.
0:26:19 > 0:26:27# At last
0:26:27 > 0:26:32# My love has come along
0:26:35 > 0:26:40# My lonely days are gone... #
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Very nice.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47'I'm really relieved her Tourette's didn't interrupt her.'
0:26:47 > 0:26:54I'm really thrilled for her, but for me, selfishly, I'm relieved,
0:26:54 > 0:27:00it's like she just drew a line under the first session,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02that was what happened,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07and today she's arrived with a fresh attitude,
0:27:07 > 0:27:14and she does a lot of unnecessary embellishing, I think,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and when I called her on that,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20she agreed, and I could tell by the look in her eye
0:27:20 > 0:27:23that I'd hit the nail on the head, really.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26You really need to focus on that diction, think about the words,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29make sure we can hear every word that you're singing,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32because it's really important, especially right at the beginning.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- Raaah!- There it goes again!
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I've also recruited a drummer for the show and Chris,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47our musical director, has been working with 18-year-old student
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Greg from Yorkshire. - Eight to the hi-hat,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52two and four on snare and kick on one and three.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Kick on one and three?- Yeah. - Do you mean...?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56HE PLAYS
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Yeah.- Just keep going?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Yeah, and do a groove with me, but mean it.- OK.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Do you know what I mean? That thing that we talked about earlier,
0:28:07 > 0:28:08make every one of it count.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23He's a good player and he obviously works really hard,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26he's a very impressive player. He's not that solid,
0:28:26 > 0:28:31he tends to drift a little bit, and to be fair he's knows it,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33he mentioned it himself a few times,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36so we worked on a few things like that,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39but when it comes to playing with the band, for the concert,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41he's going to need to be much more solid.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44HE SCREAMS
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Greg's symptoms first appeared at the age of three,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49but he wasn't diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome
0:28:49 > 0:28:51until three years later.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53MORE SCREAMING
0:28:58 > 0:29:03I got bullied, I had problems being in class,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06doing the work, I'd be working, I'd snap my pencil.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Quite a lot of the time I can shout out really weird things -
0:29:11 > 0:29:14the favourite one at the moment is "chicken."
0:29:14 > 0:29:16There's a chicken!
0:29:18 > 0:29:22I want to live, not be stuck as,
0:29:22 > 0:29:23"Oh, look, the guy with Tourette's,"
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I want to be Greg, with Tourette's on the side,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28something nobody really cares about.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30HE TICS
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Today I've got something pretty cool planned.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41'I've organised a master class with top drummer Josh McKenzie,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43'to get Greg ready for the show.'
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, obviously we've had you play with Chris,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49and, you know, you're starting to get a bit of momentum going,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52but I figured what could really help you be to play with a drummer
0:29:52 > 0:29:56who I like, I really respect, and I think could teach you a lot.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57HE TICS IN EXCITEMENT
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I take that as a good thing.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Let's see how we can work it out.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Josh has played with some great artists -
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Tinie Tempah, Lily Allen and Duffy, amongst others.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12So, how do you find it with the bass drum standing up?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16There's a lot of dancing going on! Back here, you know...
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Drumming is dancing though, isn't it?- Oh, yeah.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Today we've dropped in on his rehearsal for Wretch 32's Tour.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Sorry, I'm in a little world of daze here.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30This is better than being high.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I've never been high, but I'm sure this is better.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Well, all right, cool!
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We're getting high right now, so let's just go deeper.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Get high on drums. - Yeah, that's it, baby!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44HE TICS
0:30:44 > 0:30:47HE MIMES A DRUM BEAT
0:30:50 > 0:30:53On our first gap. Two, three, four.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02The opening line, two, three four.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04HE MIMES THE DRUMBEAT
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Yeah?- OK.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08All right, let's do it. Here we go, one, two, three, four.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Two, three, four!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Two, three, four!
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- That was awesome! - You don't need me at all.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- I do.- No, you don't.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You're very daring, you've just got it in you,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45you say you've been playing for three years,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49you're a bit more daring than expected!
0:31:49 > 0:31:51You're a bit fearless on here.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I think that's a good trait to have, being a drummer.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55You're spamming on these things man,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57you could do this all day, bruv!
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Oh, yeah! I really could! Thank you very much.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06You're pretty incredible, man. I mean, in three years...
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think we should hang out a lot more.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Oh, that would be nice!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I think we should do that. That'd be really helpful.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17# It's empty in the valley of your heart
0:32:17 > 0:32:20# The sun, it rises slowly as you walk... #
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I have to admit that ever since I gave up trying to push Steve
0:32:23 > 0:32:27into a radically different musical style he's improved massively.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30# But I will hold on hope
0:32:30 > 0:32:33# And I won't let you choke
0:32:33 > 0:32:36# On the noose around your neck
0:32:36 > 0:32:40# Cos I'll find strength in pain
0:32:40 > 0:32:41# And I will change my ways
0:32:41 > 0:32:47# Know my name as it's called again. #
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Hopefully I can just relax
0:32:50 > 0:32:54and just enjoy every moment of it really, I'm buzzing about it,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58can't wait, so excited. I'm just like, "Fuck, come on!
0:32:58 > 0:33:00"Come on!"
0:33:04 > 0:33:05It's four weeks until the live show
0:33:05 > 0:33:10and as individuals they're making real progress,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13but there's one more challenge our show needs a group finale.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15MUSIC: "Someone Like You" by Adele
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Today's definitely going to be an important day
0:33:18 > 0:33:20in what we're trying to achieve,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22because we're trying to nail that finale,
0:33:22 > 0:33:23get that final song sorted.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Now the end of the show is normally the thing
0:33:26 > 0:33:28that most people remember, you know,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31it's the thing that people leave with, so it has to be good.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Yeah, to say I'm a little bit scared about that
0:33:33 > 0:33:35would be an understatement.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39# I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
0:33:39 > 0:33:43# But I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it... #
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Together with Jo and Chris,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I've put together a shortlist of songs for them to try.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Do you know this one?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57# I see you driving round town With the girl I love
0:33:57 > 0:34:00# And I'm like Forget you, ooh-ooh-ooh
0:34:00 > 0:34:03# I guess the change in my pocket
0:34:03 > 0:34:05# Wasn't enough, I'm like
0:34:05 > 0:34:09# Forget you and forget her too
0:34:09 > 0:34:12# Although there's pain in my chest... #
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Touching her breasts.- Breasts!
0:34:15 > 0:34:17# Forget you Ooh-ooh-ooh... #
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Cunt, twats.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- What did you think about that? - Are you not into it, Steve?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24No, I like it, but it's just been played
0:34:24 > 0:34:27so much that... It's killed it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Roadkill.- Ha, ha, roadkill!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I eat roadkill!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35# So I'm waiting
0:34:35 > 0:34:36# I put on a show
0:34:36 > 0:34:38# Now I make it
0:34:38 > 0:34:40# You say I'm a kid
0:34:40 > 0:34:41# My ego is big
0:34:41 > 0:34:43# I don't give a shit... #
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Shit!- Shit!
0:34:45 > 0:34:47MUSIC: "One Day Like This" by Elbow
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Elbow!- Elbow! - Elbow!- Elbow!
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Elbow!- Elbow!
0:34:53 > 0:34:55This is going to be harder than I imagined.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I hadn't thought about the fact that they all tic
0:34:58 > 0:35:01during the quiet sections of the songs.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05# Laugh politely and repeat...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Holy cow!
0:35:07 > 0:35:12# Holy cow, I love your eyes... #
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Not keen on that one? - No. Stay down.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- It stays the same. - It's not a group song!
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It's like that ain't it...
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I hate this song. Fat cunt.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Do you really hate this song? - It's all right.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25It's a great song, Steve, what are you talking about?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27It is a good song.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- You just don't like Take That? - I do, it's just, I dunno...
0:35:31 > 0:35:34# Today, this could be
0:35:34 > 0:35:39# The greatest day of our lives!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Stay close to me
0:35:45 > 0:35:48# Stay close to me
0:35:48 > 0:35:53# Watch the world come alive tonight
0:35:54 > 0:35:56# Today, this could be... #
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Take That's Greatest Day looks like the best option so far.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06They manage to get through most of the song before the ticing starts.
0:36:07 > 0:36:13# Ooh, and the world comes alive
0:36:13 > 0:36:17# And the world comes alive
0:36:17 > 0:36:20# The world comes alive tonight
0:36:20 > 0:36:24# Stay close to me, whoa... #
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Fuck off!
0:36:26 > 0:36:31It just feels like we're pulling out the Disney club.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- I'm gonna cock someone. - Hey, I'm a chicken.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36What do you think, guys?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Ruth's saying it sounds like a Disney Club.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40It's like we're coming out...
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I used to be on Disney Club, and it definitely doesn't,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44because we couldn't sing!
0:36:44 > 0:36:45- Fuck off.- Fuck off.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Maybe we should chat about what could work with your voices.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Yeah, shall we have a break?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Have a break.- Have a Kit Kat!
0:36:56 > 0:37:01I would rather do Maroon 5, but that one it just feels like...
0:37:01 > 0:37:03It feels like...
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- I don't like Rolling In The Deep. - You know.. I don't like Adele.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Too girly.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- You don't like Adele!- Fuck off.- Tree.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17# Hello! Penis, penis.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- # I want a penis and I want one now. #- I'll have a wee!
0:37:20 > 0:37:21I'll have a pooh.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25What sounded best to you guys? What did you like most?
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Tax evasion.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28We're kind of saying Moves Like Jagger.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31OK, and what was your least favourite
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- from the songs that we tried? - Greatest Day!
0:37:33 > 0:37:37I didn't like Greatest Day really or, I dunno.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39What is it about that song that you don't like?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42We were saying that the actual feeling of the song...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Greatest Day, specifically?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Yeah, Greatest Day. ..was just too...
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Sympathetic.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Yeah, "look at us, we've got Tourette's,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52"we want loads of sympathy."
0:37:52 > 0:37:55When I first saw the title, the first thing I thought was,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57"Oh, look, bless em."
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Whenever I hear that it rubs me up the wrong way a bit, because...
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Rub it the right way, then!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06If I could, I would, Ruth!
0:38:06 > 0:38:09But I think that the last thing I'd want is for this to be
0:38:09 > 0:38:11a "didn't they do well?" type of situation.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14You need to look at look at our what our criteria is based on,
0:38:14 > 0:38:18and that is, is it could or not? Do you sound good singing it?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22You know, vocally, I think this one would show us off,
0:38:22 > 0:38:27because of the range, Greatest Day, because of the range in it...
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Fuck off. - ..it would allow voices to do that,
0:38:30 > 0:38:34but will people get to know us enough to see past all the movement,
0:38:34 > 0:38:38and all the sounds to say, "you know what, they're bloody good singers,"
0:38:38 > 0:38:42rather than, you know, "Well done, they got there in the end."?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46If you continue to allow what you think other people
0:38:46 > 0:38:50might think about you, to decide what you do or don't do,
0:38:50 > 0:38:54I think this whole process has almost been completely meaningless.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59We don't want to be ruled by other people's, you know, opinions,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- we want to have our own...- Cunt.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04We want to be us, not what other people want us to be.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08# Today, this could be
0:39:08 > 0:39:13# The greatest day of our lives
0:39:13 > 0:39:17# Before it all ends
0:39:17 > 0:39:21# Before we run out of time... #
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Steve, can I ask could you play this on the piano?- Can I?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- No!- Yeah. Yeah, probably. I'd have to learn it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Yeah. That's cool.- Can you play it on your penis?- Maybe.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34TICS TRUMPET SOUND
0:39:34 > 0:39:37I think it's probably worth...
0:39:37 > 0:39:38What the fuck!
0:39:38 > 0:39:40..when your working on it at home,
0:39:40 > 0:39:44if there are any harmonies that jump at you,
0:39:44 > 0:39:50and that naturally you go towards, then come back with those next time.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53I can't believe it, individually they've come on,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56but together it's really not working.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Crap.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I don't know, I'm surprised it's this hard.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- I thought this was the easy bit. - Did you really?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I thought we'd come in with some songs,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08they were gonna sound great. We'd have a group number...
0:40:08 > 0:40:09No, you've not been with 'em all.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11..then we'd go and have a big lunch.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13And it hasn't worked out like that.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17This process with singers will be difficult,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19but the process with singers who have Tourette's
0:40:19 > 0:40:20is three times as hard,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23because there's so much stuff to take into account, you know
0:40:23 > 0:40:27their emotions, their egos and their Tourette's,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29how their tics affect their performance,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31how their tics affect each other,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34there is so much to think about and I almost feel as if
0:40:34 > 0:40:37I've taken for granted how difficult this process really is.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39You ready? Ha, ha!
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Yeah, you are. Come on it's only us love, it's only us!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48# I get so... # No, I'm sorry.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- Tell me what's the matter. - I just... I dunno.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I just don't want to do it.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Do you want to take a minute? Come and have a minute with me. Come on.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07'This is getting worse.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09'Not only is the group song a shambles,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12'but now Emilly's confidence is on the floor again.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15'With the live event fast approaching,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17'I really need to think of something
0:41:17 > 0:41:19'that's going to boost their confidence
0:41:19 > 0:41:22'and take their performances to the next level.'
0:41:23 > 0:41:27# They say she's in the class A Team... #
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Jake hasn't quite nailed the Ed Sheeran song,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33so I've arranged a helping hand for him.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40How you doin'? Good to see you, Ed, you all right? Nice.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Grab a seat, fella. Thank you so much for coming down.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44'Double Brit Award-winner Ed Sheeran
0:41:44 > 0:41:46'has been performing since he was 14 years old.'
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- How was it?- Yeah, it was good, did Empire State Of Mind, Jay-Z.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Oh, really?!
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Just through there, down that corridor,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55there's a little recording studio
0:41:55 > 0:41:57that we've got a young guy called Jake in,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00who's having a session with our vocal coach, Jo.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Now, the show that we're doing it's about young people with Tourette's
0:42:03 > 0:42:05and Jake obviously has Tourette's,
0:42:05 > 0:42:06like I spoke to you on the phone about,
0:42:06 > 0:42:09and he's been working on your song for a long time
0:42:09 > 0:42:11and he's a huge, huge fan.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- Any advice you could give the lad I think would be amazing.- Course.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Shall we go and surprise him and try not to make him jump too much?
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Of course, let's do it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:25# White lips, pale face Breathing in snowflakes
0:42:25 > 0:42:30# Burnt lungs, sour taste
0:42:30 > 0:42:35# Loose change, bank notes Weary eye, dry throat
0:42:35 > 0:42:38# Call girl, no phone
0:42:40 > 0:42:45# And they say she's in the class A Team
0:42:45 > 0:42:47# Stuck in her daydream
0:42:47 > 0:42:50# Been this way since 18... #
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Didn't want to disturb you there, Jake,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59you seemed like you were kinda busy.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I saw everyone laugh and I couldn't believe it!
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- How you doing, man? - Pleased to meet you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Jake, I was thinking when I heard you rehearse last time
0:43:06 > 0:43:09that it would be kinda nice for you to maybe get a bit of advice
0:43:09 > 0:43:11from somebody who knows that song quite well,
0:43:11 > 0:43:13so I figured I'd bring Ed down.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15What do you think about young Jake?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17I think he sounds great, man, it's really cool
0:43:17 > 0:43:20and I love way you're putting the song together, it's really cool.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Are you all right there, are you going to fall over?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- No, I just can't believe it! - Come over here, let's have a seat.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Jake, why don't you - oh, sorry, Jo -
0:43:26 > 0:43:29why don't you tell Ed a little bit about your Tourette's? Sit down.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Tell him a bit about your Tourette's and as well as that
0:43:31 > 0:43:34tell him about how important singing has been to you.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39Yeah, I've had Tourette's since 2009, but I've had tics since I was three.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40And every time I sing,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43my Tourette's sort of goes away and I don't tic at all.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48I actually had a stammer from the age of around four or five
0:43:48 > 0:43:51to the age of 11 until I started singing,
0:43:51 > 0:43:53and it did exactly the same thing,
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I, kind of, didn't stammer at all when I was singing
0:43:56 > 0:43:59and the more I did it, it actually acted as a kind of therapy
0:43:59 > 0:44:01and now I don't stammer at all
0:44:01 > 0:44:04so it can actually act as a good help, as you can see.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14# And they say she's in the class A Team
0:44:14 > 0:44:17# Stuck in her daydream
0:44:17 > 0:44:21# Been this way since 18 But lately
0:44:21 > 0:44:25# Her face seems slowly sinking, wasting
0:44:25 > 0:44:29# Crumbling like pastries They scream... #
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I'm really impressed with Jake -
0:44:32 > 0:44:34if he can sing like this in front of Ed himself
0:44:34 > 0:44:36he shouldn't have any problem
0:44:36 > 0:44:38performing in front of a live audience.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42# It's too cold outside
0:44:42 > 0:44:45# For angels to fly
0:44:45 > 0:44:49# To fly, to fly
0:44:49 > 0:44:51# For angels to die. #
0:44:53 > 0:44:57Yes, Jake! Nicely done.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Nicely done, fella.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02It's probably a really tough question to ask,
0:45:02 > 0:45:03cos obviously it's your song,
0:45:03 > 0:45:06but how does someone like Jake make that his own?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- JAKE TICS - It's all about...
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Well, for one, the "It's too cold" -
0:45:12 > 0:45:14singing that in full voice
0:45:14 > 0:45:16is something I haven't heard a lot of times,
0:45:16 > 0:45:20and that's a very cool thing, so thank you for doing that.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23But, you know, just his whole vocal tone...
0:45:23 > 0:45:25- JAKE TICS - ..and his approach on the song
0:45:25 > 0:45:27would be making that his own, I guess.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32# Kiss me like you wanna be loved
0:45:32 > 0:45:36# You wanna be loved
0:45:36 > 0:45:38# You wanna be loved
0:45:40 > 0:45:44# This feels like falling in love
0:45:45 > 0:45:48# I've fallen in love
0:45:49 > 0:45:51# Fall in love. #
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Nicely done, fella. Nicely done!
0:45:56 > 0:45:59I've just met Ed Sheeran and he played the guitar for me.
0:45:59 > 0:46:04I touched his guitar and I sang with him, and now my life is complete.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06I think he's taken something from today
0:46:06 > 0:46:08and that was the whole point of it,
0:46:08 > 0:46:10not just for him to meet someone he likes,
0:46:10 > 0:46:13but to learn how to sing that song better and to make his performance,
0:46:13 > 0:46:17for what we're trying to pull off, all the more strong.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19So today's been a good day.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21# Someone like you
0:46:21 > 0:46:26- # Oh-oh, whoa-oh. #- Ooh.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30I love it when you sing straight like that
0:46:30 > 0:46:36and you can just hear the pureness of your tone and the quality...
0:46:36 > 0:46:40It sends shivers down my spine, I just love it.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42# Oh, oh-oh
0:46:42 > 0:46:46# Whoa-oh
0:46:46 > 0:46:52# I've been roaming around Always looking down at all I see... #
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Lovely.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Did you work on control with Ruth or something?
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Cos it almost seems like it's a much more measured performance now.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03I think I just used a few carefully placed words.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You commanded me! By the Force! JO LAUGHS
0:47:06 > 0:47:11'It's my last session with Jo and I'm feeling a little bit sad
0:47:11 > 0:47:14'cos it's the end of it! What am I going to do now without Jo?!'
0:47:14 > 0:47:17I've come on so far in such a short space of time,
0:47:17 > 0:47:19from me starting off in there
0:47:19 > 0:47:23and actually not being able to sing at points...
0:47:25 > 0:47:28SHE TICS ..and my tics interfering with that
0:47:28 > 0:47:34and then sometimes knowing I could potentially do well,
0:47:34 > 0:47:36but not being able to show it when it counted
0:47:36 > 0:47:39and that really got me frustrated and more mad,
0:47:39 > 0:47:43but I've finally managed to just let go and enjoy the process...
0:47:43 > 0:47:47SHE TICS ..and if I start doing it now
0:47:47 > 0:47:48I just feel like I'm going like that
0:47:48 > 0:47:52and so, come the live show, I'm really excited for that.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55# Pack up your troubles In your old kit bag
0:47:55 > 0:47:57# And bury them beneath the sea... #
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Jo's got Emilly in front of a mic again
0:48:00 > 0:48:02singing Eliza Doolittle's Pack Up.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05She's sounding good but I'm still worried that her lack of confidence
0:48:05 > 0:48:09will get in the way of her performance on the night.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12# Tweet tweet-tweet-tweet Tweet-tweet-tweet... #
0:48:12 > 0:48:16Hidden in the control room watching Emilly sing, I've got Eliza herself.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20You could do more there.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24# Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
0:48:24 > 0:48:27# Don't worry 'bout the cavalry
0:48:28 > 0:48:31# I don't care... #
0:48:32 > 0:48:35- Do you want to say hello?- Hello! - Eliza, meet Emilly.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Hello! Nice to meet you!
0:48:38 > 0:48:41I've been in there for the last five or ten minutes
0:48:41 > 0:48:43and you sound amazing.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47- You sound brilliant.- Thank you. - Your voice is beautiful.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Did you, for quite a while,
0:48:49 > 0:48:51get really nervous on stage then, when you performed?
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Yeah, I'd totally hide behind my hair now I try and wear it up
0:48:55 > 0:48:58and try and be a bit more, like, shoulders back and just sing,
0:48:58 > 0:49:02but I used to really like... I was almost quite emo with it,
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I was just like...
0:49:04 > 0:49:08But, yeah, I'm still trying to get over lots of that
0:49:08 > 0:49:12and trying to just be myself, and be happy to be me, you know?
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Is there any way you could help Emilly with another rehearsal?
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Sure, I wouldn't know what to say, though,
0:49:17 > 0:49:20because, honestly, you're almost there -
0:49:20 > 0:49:25I think it's just about knowing that you're good,
0:49:25 > 0:49:27I think that's just all you need.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29I've never seen you just grab the mic and hold it.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34Do you not like to do that? It frees you up a little bit more.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Yeah, I guess, because I like to hide behind the stand, in a way, I guess.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Well, then you're definitely have to have the mic.
0:49:40 > 0:49:41This is the new challenge.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44What do you do about movement, then, Eliza?
0:49:44 > 0:49:49I think I always try and move around quite a lot, especially on stage,
0:49:49 > 0:49:51because you're trying to get to the whole audience
0:49:51 > 0:49:53and I love making eye contact with people
0:49:53 > 0:49:56because whether it freaks them out
0:49:56 > 0:49:59or they just want to jump up on stage with you,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02it's just so much fun to, like,
0:50:02 > 0:50:05tell the story to every person you see
0:50:05 > 0:50:08and try to reach every single person in the audience.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10We'll be the audience, and why don't you guys perform to us
0:50:10 > 0:50:12and you can, sort of, help her move around a bit.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16Well, yeah, I don't exactly do 'N Sync-like dance moves either,
0:50:16 > 0:50:17but just, like, feel it,
0:50:17 > 0:50:21I can see you're feeling it when you're singing it,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24so I guess it's just about, kind of, just feeling it.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28You don't have to break into a dance routine or anything.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Right, let's have a go, then,
0:50:30 > 0:50:33and if you want to do a dance routine, it's fine.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34I'd love that, that'd be amazin'.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37# Pack up your troubles In your old kit bag
0:50:37 > 0:50:41# Don't worry 'bout the cavalry
0:50:41 > 0:50:44# I don't care what the whisperers say
0:50:44 > 0:50:47# Cos they whisper too loud for me. #
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Change the a dance move!- I can't! THEY LAUGH
0:50:52 > 0:50:55Give her another one, Eliza, she's mastered that!
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Keep going for the chorus, something else for the chorus.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00There you go, two moves for the whole song.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Keep going, keep going.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05# Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
0:51:05 > 0:51:09- # Don't worry 'bout the cavalry. # - The arm's moving, the arm's moving!
0:51:09 > 0:51:11Keep moving the arms!
0:51:11 > 0:51:14THEY LAUGH
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Do you know what, though?
0:51:16 > 0:51:19some people don't, like, just aren't, like, movers at all,
0:51:19 > 0:51:23but you actually can move, though, so you should use it if you want!
0:51:23 > 0:51:25'I was so much more confident today,
0:51:25 > 0:51:27'I sung it all the way through.'
0:51:27 > 0:51:31I wasn't so self-critical, I actually moved
0:51:31 > 0:51:36and I, kind of, I guess, felt like I had to step it up
0:51:36 > 0:51:37because she was there,
0:51:37 > 0:51:42because I didn't want to look stupid in front of her. It was good.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46# Well, I need a dollar, dollar A dollar is what I need... #
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Jo's hardest job has been the de-Bublising of Tom -
0:51:49 > 0:51:52unbelievably, I think she's almost there,
0:51:52 > 0:51:56but I'm hoping Brit Award nominee Aloe Blacc might just help him out.
0:51:56 > 0:52:01# Said I need a dollar, a dollar A dollar is what I need
0:52:01 > 0:52:06# Who can help me take away my sorrow?
0:52:06 > 0:52:08# Maybe it's inside the bottle...
0:52:08 > 0:52:12# Maybe it's inside the bottle... #
0:52:15 > 0:52:17- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:52:19 > 0:52:22I saw you in the f...
0:52:22 > 0:52:23I didn't know... Oh, my God.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Well, look, Tom you've been working on this song for so long
0:52:26 > 0:52:27I figured why not get someone
0:52:27 > 0:52:29who could definitely give you some advice
0:52:29 > 0:52:30when it comes to performing it,
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- the man who wrote it himself, Aloe Blacc?- How you doin'?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35How are you feeling about the song at the moment?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Cos, I mean, the actual show isn't that far away, mate,
0:52:37 > 0:52:39and if ever there was a time to get some advice
0:52:39 > 0:52:41to get your performance nailed, it's now.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44So is there anything you want to ask this man?
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Erm, if you were in my shoes,
0:52:48 > 0:52:52if you really wanted to show it off, like, what would you give in,
0:52:52 > 0:52:55give into it to really show that you've got it,
0:52:55 > 0:52:57if you know what I mean.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59The most important thing is to be yourself,
0:52:59 > 0:53:03to sing the songs that you feel represent you.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06The voice that I hear is unique,
0:53:06 > 0:53:08so let's not hear someone else's voice when you sing.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10- That was?- Yes, that was unique.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12That was something that I think was very you, OK?
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Stick with that and remember, when you're singing, you're in control!
0:53:16 > 0:53:19- We're here to see you!- Nice one.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21- Mate, thanks ever so much.- Yeah.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25# Well, I need a dollar, dollar A dollar is what I need
0:53:25 > 0:53:30# Hey, hey, I need a dollar, dollar A dollar is what I need... #
0:53:30 > 0:53:33'It was the first time they've heard Tom,'
0:53:33 > 0:53:37it wasn't a Michael Buble-sounding song.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41Obviously if I want to make a career out of this
0:53:41 > 0:53:46you have to be yourself, you have to find your own personal market
0:53:46 > 0:53:51and you have to wow the people out there, the public,
0:53:51 > 0:53:53with something completely brand-new
0:53:53 > 0:53:56cos that's what will make them want to listen to you
0:53:56 > 0:53:58and that's when you start to make it.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03# Today this could be
0:54:03 > 0:54:06# The greatest day of our lives... #
0:54:08 > 0:54:11'Suddenly things seem to be clicking into place.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14'Confidence levels are up and the show's two weeks away -
0:54:14 > 0:54:18'now we only need to sort the group song for the finale.
0:54:20 > 0:54:26'I just hope it's more successful than the last time we got together.'
0:54:26 > 0:54:28THEY TIC
0:54:29 > 0:54:32# Today this could be
0:54:32 > 0:54:37# The greatest day of our lives
0:54:37 > 0:54:41# Stay close to me
0:54:41 > 0:54:46# Watch the world come alive tonight
0:54:46 > 0:54:49# Stay close to me
0:54:51 > 0:54:55# Tonight this could be
0:54:55 > 0:54:59# The greatest night of our lives
0:54:59 > 0:55:06# Tonight
0:55:08 > 0:55:16# Tonight
0:55:17 > 0:55:19# Stay close to me. #
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Cool.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31We need to get a hold of that outro.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33And it's kind of dying on its arse a bit.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37- Aren't you happy with it, Jo - No!- You're not?- No, I'm not!
0:55:37 > 0:55:39It can get better, Jo, don't make them feel awful!
0:55:39 > 0:55:43- It's going to get there, though, right?- It's the outro.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Yeah, I sort of noticed that it seems when you guys aren't singing,
0:55:46 > 0:55:48- you're ticking, which is strange... - THEY TIC
0:55:48 > 0:55:52..because when you're singing on your own that doesn't happen at all.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54- THEY TIC - Why do you think you're ticking
0:55:54 > 0:55:57- when you're not singing? - Cos we've got Tourette's.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59THEY TIC
0:55:59 > 0:56:01There's your answer!
0:56:01 > 0:56:04I love you so much. I love you so much, that's brilliant.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07'The Take That song that we're working on at the moment'
0:56:07 > 0:56:11doesn't sound great, so we've got to find a new song,
0:56:11 > 0:56:14get everyone comfortable with it,
0:56:14 > 0:56:17and we're only going to have about half a day to rehearse it.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19I don't know what song we're going to choose
0:56:19 > 0:56:22and I don't know who's going to sing what part,
0:56:22 > 0:56:23but I do know it's got to change.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Next time, it's show time.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31But there's a crisis.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34Do you think she's actually going to get to perform?
0:56:34 > 0:56:36I don't know.
0:56:36 > 0:56:37Oh, man!
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Time's run out...
0:56:41 > 0:56:44..and now they must put on the performance of their lives.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Shut up.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49I don't know which way this is going to go.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53# We could have had it all
0:56:53 > 0:56:58# Rolling in the deep
0:56:58 > 0:57:03# You had my heart inside your hand
0:57:03 > 0:57:06# But you played it You played it, you played it
0:57:06 > 0:57:08# You played it to the beat. #
