Episode 5 All Together Now

The 100 are back.

And, when it comes to singing, they've got every base covered.

From West End performers...

HE SINGS

-..to rappers...

-It was incredible, I just loved every minute of it.

-..tribute acts...

-Simply the best!

..to vocal coaches.

You are outstanding.

They're all mixed in with a touch of spice.

Oh, you made me feel so happy.

Tonight, it's the last of the heats.

Come on, sister, I need you to be good.

Every contestant is gunning for a place in the final.

There's such variety in performers,

you never know what's going to happen.

I'm really excited.

Brilliant.

You made me feel more love towards everybody.

Yes, Geri!

Like it.

# Hey! #

But, with only two places remaining in next week's grand final,

getting there is not going to be easy.

There wasn't enough emotion.

-I didn't believe it.

-I felt attacked.

So, who will get the 100 joining in tonight?

A oner!

HE SIGHS

Come on, Geri.

# I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva... #

Geri, you're late, where's the 100?

Don't worry, Rob, I brought them with me.

What?

# I'm having such a good time

# I'm having a ball

# Don't stop me now

# If you wanna have a good time... #

Oh, fair enough.

So, the 100 have finally arrived for their last

get-together before the final.

And it's not all fun and games,

because it's time to get down to business.

Tonight, they must decide which acts will fill the two remaining

places in the grand final for a chance to win £50,000.

As always, the 100 have learnt all the songs for the series...

I know the words, what am I doing?

Why are you looking at this? You know this.

But none of them, including Geri,

know which acts will be singing them and when.

I want to make a wish. I wish that Paulus will stand up.

That's wishful thinking, Geri.

It's our 100, everyone!

So, the audience are ready, the 100 are ready,

and, waiting backstage with a song they believe will get them

through to the final, is our first performer.

I'm so nervous.

-I'm sure you'll be OK.

-Don't be, you'll be fine.

Hello.

Oh, my God, Geri Horner is going to be in the audience. Argh!

I grew up with the Spice Girls.

My first-ever concert was the Spice Girls. This is, like, so amazing.

-I'm excited.

-First person who's going to come out

is obviously going to be quite nervous.

-I'm actually feeling nervous already.

-Oh!

Being judged by the 100, it's going to be really nerve-racking.

-Good luck, babe.

-Good luck, Fay.

-Oh, my God!

This song is so important to Geri.

If she stood up, I just don't know if I could contain myself.

Like, that is crazy, if she does that.

Here's the first act. How high can she score?

Hi, my name's Fay and this song is a massive anthem.

I know you all know it, and especially one person.

She's got a face like she's left the gas on.

MUSIC: It's Raining Men

Oh, bless!

# Humidity's rising

# Barometer's getting low

# According to all sources... #

Remember, the 100 can't join in until the lights change.

# Cos tonight for the first time

# Just about half past ten

# For the first time in history

# It's gonna start raining men

# It's raining men Hallelujah... #

Wow, she's got Geri up!

# It's raining men Amen

# I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get

# Absolutely soaking wet

# It's raining men Hallelujah

# It's raining men... #

-Come on.

-Bring it.

# Every specimen

# Tall, blonde, dark and lean

# Rough and tough and strong and mean

# God bless Mother Nature

# She's a single woman too

# She took every angel

# And rearranged the sky

# So that each and every woman

# Could find the perfect guy

# It's raining men, yeah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Wow!

Yeah!

That's a great first score.

Wow.

They loved that, they absolutely loved that.

Oh, mate, pressure's on!

-Fay, you scored 80, well done!

-Oh, my God!

Honestly, like, thank you so much for being an amazing crowd.

It just, like, got me so much through it.

Well, they loved it, Fay,

and there's one person who definitely loved it.

-Geri.

-Yeah!

-You know that one, didn't you, Geri?

You've got The Weather Girls, you've got me, and now Fay.

That's brilliant.

You absolutely sang it better than me.

-It's actually a very, very hard song to sing.

-Yeah.

It takes you from the basement, up there.

To come out first as well, that's a great start. Thank you.

And the sparkle! Like it!

-Thanks, Geri. Paulus...

-Dun, dun, dun!

Paulus. BOOING

That wasn't enough for you to get up.

I thought dynamically it was very samey

and, once you got big, it stayed big, and it was too big.

-I felt attacked.

-You felt attacked?

OK, thank you, Paulus.

Congratulations, Fay, that's a great first score of the night.

-Thank you.

-Take a seat, well done.

Remember, if Fay is still in the top spot at the end of the show,

she'll go straight to the grand final

for the chance to win 50 grand.

But there's loads more acts still to come, so anything can happen.

Right, let's bring on our next performer.

CHEERING

-That's a good starting score, actually.

-I totally agree.

-There's a bar there now and it's a hard bar.

-Exactly.

Hi, everybody, are you OK? Are you all right?

How are we going? Pleased to meet you.

I'm known as the singing welder.

The lads know I sing at work, they rip me, big style.

Do you know what I'd like? A ballad.

We've had a really, really upbeat song to begin with,

-I'd like something really, really slow and controlled.

-Emotional.

Welding's the job and it pays the bills,

but singing just takes me into a different world, really.

I become somebody else for the weekend, if you know what I mean.

-OK, Lee, we're ready. Do you want to come out?

-Yeah, I will.

-Well done, darling, OK?

-See you later.

I'm in it to win it. I wouldn't be here

if I didn't believe I could win it.

I have no problem knocking somebody off that seat

cos I believe I deserve it.

-Oh, hello.

-OK.

Hey, everybody, I'm Lee from Barnsley and I'm living the dream.

Aww!

Yeah, he looks pretty relaxed, doesn't he?

80 to beat for the top spot.

# You hear me so clearly

# And see how I try

# And I won't tell a soul

# I won't tell at all

# And do they have to know

# About my goodnight girl?

# Caught up in your wishin' well

# Your hopes inside it

# Take your love 'n' promises

# And make them last

# You make them last

# Doesn't matter how sad I made you

# Doesn't matter how hard I try

# Just remember the same old reason

# Reflected in your eyes

# You said you wanted me

# Oh, caught up in your wishin' well

# You hopes inside it

# Take your love and promises

# And make them last

# You make them last

# Ah, ah, ah, ah. #

-I liked that a lot.

-Yeah.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

He's there! Well done, mate.

Woo!

-That's a good score.

-Very nice.

Lee, congratulations, 84. You've taken the top spot, well done.

Living the dream, living the dream.

Living the dream. You've got a catchphrase already, Lee!

-Do you believe it?

-No, brilliant, that's brilliant.

-Thank you very much.

-Well, well done.

-Cheers, Geri!

Geri stood up as well? Oh, no!

I've always been a big fan of yours as well, but...

LAUGHTER

..obviously all your CDs are going straight in the bin!

The dream's over. He was living the dream a minute ago, Geri!

Pamela, you run open mic night. Did you enjoy that?

-I absolutely loved it.

-Thank you.

I thought it was smooth, I thought it was genuine,

I loved the way you worked the stage, I loved every moment.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you, Pamela.

CHEERING

Miggy, what about you?

I love this song and it's clear you have a beautiful voice.

I will say this, though, I feel like it was too easy for you

and I wanted to hear more, to be honest.

So, I'm excited to see if you're in our sing-off,

-because I'd like to hear you again. So, thank you.

-Thank you, yeah.

Right, OK, so not everyone enjoyed it.

Here we go!

I'll tell you what it is. Yes, you can definitely sing.

Yes, you were comfortable on stage.

I think it got into my head but not my heart.

I'd like to hear something that either really moves me to tears,

I'm like, "I love him, I'm with him," or I just can't stop dancing.

-But I liked you.

-Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Geri.

Nice one, Lee, you scored 84,

which puts you in top spot, the top three.

Go and take your seat, well done.

So, our top three's filling up nicely.

Remember, there's just two places in the series final

left for the taking.

Lee, if you're still in the top spot at the end of the show,

you'll go through automatically and whoever's left in second

and third place will face each other in the sing-off.

So, good luck!

-I'm nervous.

-You'll be fine.

-Argh!

Just try and put that into the performance,

-do you know what I mean?

-Yeah.

-There's still a lot of people to come, though, isn't there?

-So many.

I'm not going to lie, I can just see me going home.

It sounds quite nerdy - I like ironing.

Yeah, it's not nerdy, it's a pleasure.

-Yeah, it's quite, like, therapeutic.

-Yeah.

-Knitting is similar.

-I like knitting, too.

-You like knitting?

-You could bring your knitting here.

-That would be nice!

Ah!

I absolutely love to sing.

To be honest, I can't really break it down just how much.

That outfit is killer. Holy cow.

I want that top seat. Don't we all?

Otherwise, what's the point?

# Like a bridge... #

Go for it, come on!

# Over troubled water

# I will lay me down

# Like a bridge over troubled water... #

Oh, come on!

I really want you to do good!

# Me down

# I will lay

# Me down. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Stacey, you scored 42. Thank you very much.

-Helen, you're a choir director. You enjoyed that.

-I loved it.

I felt you were drawing people in

and there was the conviction behind what you were singing

and I just loved that, so I thought you were fantastic.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you, Helen.

Well done, Stacey, you scored 42, which means you take third place.

Please take your seat.

So, we've filled all three seats and here's where things get serious.

Stacey, you are now the act in danger.

If our next act scores more than 42, it's the end of the road for you.

-That was awesome. You OK?

-Well, you know...

-Very harsh.

-Disappointing.

-Very harsh, very harsh.

-Yeah, disappointing.

I'm feeling quite gutted now.

I think she completely undersold what is a beautiful,

emotional song, I don't think it was sung with heart.

She was very tense. I could hear it in her voice,

she couldn't sustain her notes because she was like this.

You know what I have now?

Sugar free.

Sugar free mints. You interested?

No.

This looks good, doesn't it?

All right?

I'm a train manager.

The boring bits, like checking tickets, opening the doors,

the fun bits like singing down the tannoy on the PA.

Sheffield to London, an hour and a half, how many songs can you fit in?

Here comes the next act.

If they score more than 42, Stacey will leave the competition.

-He looks happy.

-He does.

Look at him grinning.

Singing is everything. I get up in the morning and I start singing.

On the train, start singing.

Having a row with the missus, start singing!

She doesn't like it.

The money would make such a difference.

I'm getting married, and, if I don't win this,

I'm going to have to sell a kidney.

# She played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

# I met her on Grafton Street right outside of the bar

# She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

# She asked me... #

Oh, he's got swagger! Oh, yeah, I like it!

# She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun

# She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding as a shotgun... #

Oh, I love it!

# One more drink at the bar

# Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

# You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

# My pretty little Galway girl

# You're my pretty little Galway girl

# Let's see your hands in the air clapping, here we go

# She played the fiddle in an Irish band... #

He's got the crowd going.

# She fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

# My pretty little Galway girl

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my... #

Remember, you can see the scores at home but we can't.

# Let's hear you singing, all together

# Galway girl

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl

# My pretty little Galway girl. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ohhhh!

He should have got way more!

Well done, Ross, you scored 42.

We've got a tie for third spot. You looked like you was loving it.

Oh, it was great, wasn't it? Yeah, just had fun.

That's what it's all about.

OK, Donna, you're a Lady Gaga tribute act.

When the song came on, we were like, "Oh, here we go.

"How is he going to fill Ed Sheeran's shoes?"

But I've got to be fair, right,

it started off beautiful and when you hit your swagger,

we were just, like, "Oh, my God, oh, my God!"

Such a cheeky chappy, we love your grin.

Sort of James Corden does Stormzy, innit?

LAUGHTER

Now, as Stacey and Ross have both scored 42,

we have got ourselves a tie.

Tie lights.

Now, 100, you need to decide which performance you liked the best

and therefore stays in the competition.

If you preferred Stacey, press your button now.

# Like a bridge

# Over troubled water. #

If you preferred Ross, press your button now.

# My pretty little Galway girl

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl. #

100, the results are in and I can tell you you've decided

the performer taking the third spot and staying in the competition is...

..Ross.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Ross.

Which means, unfortunately, we say goodbye to Stacey. Unlucky.

Give it up for Stacey, everyone.

Ross, please make your way to the top three.

So, that means, Ross, you are in the danger seat.

If the next act gets more than 42, you'll be leaving the competition.

I'm not kidding, mate, I didn't expect you just to get 42.

-That was brilliant.

-Bless you.

Do you know what? I heard the clarity in the rap.

It's like, oh, my gosh, that's so difficult to do and he did it well.

-Really hard.

-Yeah, you're right.

That's why Ed Sheeran... Not many people can do it.

So, train manager Ross may have bagged himself

a place in the top three but there's still plenty of performers

who could send him on the train back home.

We've got first class acts...

Everything about that was perfect for me.

..the 100 are stopped in their tracks...

Is he a she?

Yes.

But who will get the 100 all aboard and score the max?

We've got a oner!

If you want to do a Scouse accent, you have to pretend

like you've got some phlegm in the back of your throat.

-Chiggghen!

-Chiggghen!

-Yeah.

-Chiggghen!

-SHE LAUGHS

Shut up! Right, OK, we're ready.

I'm Paulus, I'm a cabaret host.

I've performed with Elton John, Matt Lucas, Boy George.

There are thousands and thousands of performers out there.

Some are fantastic and some are shocking.

I'm not going to stand up

just because everybody else's standing up.

Paulus... BOOING

-Come on, Paulus.

-People have called me a pantomime villain.

Mwa-ha-ha!

They call me Mr Grumpy, but I think we all know I'm just saying

what everyone else is thinking.

There's too many trills and licks and flicks.

Some people think that underneath this hard exterior

there's a big softie.

Don't hold your breath.

Two massive scores, though, guys. Like, massive.

-Do you reckon?

-84 and 80? Massive!

Yes, Ross, and with those two big scores,

the 100 are thirsty for more.

It's a shame we can't have a glass of wine while we're sitting here.

-I know. Or a big bottle of G&T.

-Or a big bottle of G&T.

You've got to do that, Georg, it's a brilliant idea.

It would sit quite nicely there, couple of glasses.

Oh, wow, this is nice.

Hi.

I've been a full-time singer on cruise ships for almost eight years,

that's how I earn my bread and butter.

It's scary to think that your future in the show is in their hands.

I know.

This is right outside of my comfort zone.

I'm just going to go out there and give it my best shot.

Here comes the next act.

If they score more than 42, Ross will leave the competition.

Oh, she looks amazing.

-You like that dress, don't you?

-Yeah.

Hi, everyone, my name is Rachael

and the song you're about to hear was written by one of my

favourite bands, so I hope you like this powerful anthem with a twist.

Oooh!

-I like a twist.

-Love a twist, love a twist.

Really composed.

PIANO PLAYS

Oh, wow.

# I've taken my bow

# And my curtain call

# You gave me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

# And I thank you all

# But it's been no bed of roses... #

Ross is looking worried.

# No pleasure cruise

# I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

# And I ain't gonna lose

# We are the champions, my friends... #

-Making you a bit emotional?

-She's amazing.

It's not very exciting.

This isn't the twist, she's just singing a rock song as an opera.

No, no!

# We are the champions

# We are the champions

# No time for losers

# Cos we are the champions

# Of the world

# Of the world

# Of the world. #

# Mama mia, let me go

# Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me

# For me... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Rachael, you scored 72! Well done!

That puts you into the top three.

-You enjoy that?

-Yeah, really enjoyed singing that song.

I think any Queen song is fantastic to sing, yeah.

Georg, you didn't stand up. You teach at The BRIT School.

That wasn't your cup of tea?

You've obviously got a beautiful soprano voice,

but it just didn't work for me. I'm not quite sure why.

Maybe it was at the beginning, there was just a little break

where you sort of went into the chest voice

and back into head voice again.

What's chest voice and head voice?

-I can't demonstrate, cos I'm not a woman.

-Geri, talk me through it.

Chest voice, head voice.

OK, chest is when you sing more heavily, and, then, head voice is...

-HIGH REGISTER:

-# Ah-ah-ah... #

-Lovely head voice, Geri!

-Basically, higher or lower.

APPLAUSE Do we agree with that?

Head and chest?

Yeah, well, I love singing in different registers.

What's a register?! What's happening?!

-I'm going to make this easy, come here.

-What's going on?!

-Please make it easy!

-I'm going to make this simple.

-It's a bit like a car, gear changes.

-Yeah, sure.

-First gear, second gear...

-I've got an automatic.

-Oh... OK.

-LAUGHTER

So, you're just smooth all the way.

There you go.

What you did, you made opera for everyone

by bringing a song that we all know and love -

and I liked it, I thought it was really good.

-Well done.

-Thank you! Thank you, Geri.

APPLAUSE OK, thank you very much, Geri.

Nathan, you run a cabaret night.

I produce a cabaret night. Yes... I used to work in music...

What's the difference between running and producing?

-Um...

-Just tickling it up for the CV?

-Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, Rob.

-You produce a cabaret night.

-Yeah.

I love Queen - congratulations on your performance this evening.

I didn't stand up until the very end.

It felt a bit safe - and then I thought to myself,

"Am I enjoying it? Why am I not standing up?"

and that, it was at the end, when you gave that money note,

-that's when I stood up.

-You've been shopping with Ross, ain't you?

Look at that, nice little outfit together!

The Kray twins here tonight.

Thank you very much, Nathan.

Well done, Rachael, you got a huge score of 72 -

that puts you in the third spot.

Unfortunately, that means, Ross...

-AUDIENCE:

-Aww.

-..you're leaving us now.

Have you enjoyed yourself?

Oh, I have absolutely loved it - and she's a lovely person,

great voice, and I'm happy to give my seat to Rachael.

-Oh, Ross!

-Round of applause for Ross. Lovely man.

-Mwah!

APPLAUSE

Well done, Ross! Rachael, please take your seat in the top three.

So, if things stay the same at the end of the show,

Lee, in top spot, you'll go straight to the grand final

and Fay, Rachael, if you're both still in second and third place

at the end of the night, you'll take each other on in the sing-off.

So, it's time for the 100 to take a well-deserved break.

Someone's had a bit too much sugar.

-Emma.

-Hello.

-How's it being married to Ed?

-Fun!

Come and sing for me.

# Ed and Emma

# They really love each other

# Sometimes they argue

# And they don't like it

# And Emma gets cross

# She is the boss... #

Yes!

Wow. OK, with eight impressive acts from the previous heat

already confirmed for the final,

the 100 have high expectations for the two remaining spots.

I love Lee because I feel like he was the only one

that's had an original tone.

I'm going to be real, I need an earthquake performance.

Everyone is in a very low range of numbers.

We haven't had any '90s yet. Don't you agree?

I need someone who's going to, like, blow me out me wheelchair.

THEY LAUGH

-We've seen some good acts...

-Yeah.

..but, I have to be honest,

I'm still waiting for someone to absolutely blow us away.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Come on, then, let's go.

-Yeah, let's go.

So far, Lee and Fay have been untouchable -

but can our next act change that?

Hi!

I used to work as an Adele tribute act when I was in university.

I've stopped doing it now, mainly because Adele lost weight

and I didn't, and I'm just not willing to sacrifice my food!

Those three over there look so comfortable.

They do, they look like... Lee looks like he's settled in...

-Let's just hope they can maintain that.

-..for a while, hasn't he?

£50,000 is...money that I've never even...

Well, I've barely seen it written down, you know?

It's money that I can't even dream of.

I tell you something, having an 84 means absolutely noth...

-Nuttin'!

-Nuttin'!

I am scared. I'm hoping, once I step out, I'll be OK.

More than 72 gets Rachel in the top three.

Let's see if she can do it.

Hi, everyone, my name is Rachel.

I'm going to be singing a song with a lot of emotion behind it,

and it's got a really big, heart-wrenching story

that I hope you all grab the same that I do when I perform it.

I think Rachel's Welsh.

Come on, sister, I need you to be good.

# And I am telling you

# I'm not going

# You're the best man I've ever known

# There's no way I can ever go

# No, no, no, there's no way

# No, no, no, no way I'm living without you

# I'm not living without you

# I don't want to be free

# I'm staying, I'm staying

# And you, and you, and you you're gonna love me

# Oh, you're gonna love me

# Yes, you are

# Yes, you are

# Love me, love me

# Love me

# Love...

# You're gonna love...

# ..me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Rachel, congratulations, you got 90!

-Thank you!

What a score! You go straight into the top spot.

-How are you feeling?

-Oh, my God!

Oh, I feel amazing.

Kiki?

Honey, you know what? Everything about that was perfect for me.

You had just the right amount of dirt in your voice,

and, I have to say, from one plus-size girl to another,

-I am so super, super proud of you.

-Oh, thank you!

That means a lot. Thank you.

Geri, you were stood up, what did you think?

Oh, Rachel, I have to say, you're my favourite.

APPLAUSE

-Oh, from one redhead to another...

-I know!

-..that means a lot.

-Yes! What do you do for a living?

Um, I work in a call centre.

-Oh, do you?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-You could do the hold music, as well.

-Yeah!

"Just going to put you on hold."

# I'm telling...! #

So, with a score of 90, Rachel, you take our first spot, well done.

Which, sadly, means for our other Rachael, you leave the competition.

Have you had a good time?

-I've had a brilliant time, thank you.

-Rachael, everyone.

So, Rachel, take your place in the top three. Well done.

APPLAUSE

She just came out on the stage, owned it,

and completely and utterly slayed it.

So, call centre operator Rachel

has finally knocked our singing welder Lee into second place,

making Fay the act in danger -

but can a seasoned professional do enough to break into the top three?

My name's Franki, I'm a professional singer.

Recently I've only sung in quite big venues.

I've warmed up for Coldplay, Rod Stewart, Kanye West...

I've been lucky enough to work alongside

a lot of really cool people.

# Said I'm outta love, can't you see

# Baby, that you've gotta set me free

# I'm outta love. #

-For me, there wasn't enough emotion. I didn't believe it.

-Fair enough.

-Thank you very much, Franki, everyone.

-Thank you.

So, professional singer Franki failed to get into the top three -

but can a first-time performer do the job?

Is he a she?

-It's a drag king.

-Is it?

-Yes.

Are you sure?

I am certain.

They're an endangered species, you know?

My name is Helen White, but, when I perform, I will be Len Blanco.

Everyone knows what a drag queen is,

but drag kings, people need to know that we exist.

This is Len's big debut.

Len has never sung live before.

# Here I am, baby

# Signed, sealed, delivered I'm yours, yeah... #

-Aah!

-I think he's yours!

# Signed, sealed, delivered, baby. #

That seems harsh.

I did enjoy it, but there's just a few shaky moments -

and I really admire you coming on,

and it's wonderful to see a drag king!

-Yeah!

-Yes!

Well done, Len, you scored 28 -

unfortunately, not enough to get you into the top three, but well done.

Great performance. Len, everyone!

APPLAUSE

So, our top three remains unchanged,

but can our next act do enough to get a seat?

You can only get kicked out now...

..if all three of these score over 90.

How nice does that feel?

Good evening. How are you?

This is nice, innit?

I'll have to come here again.

My style of singing is swing.

I love Frank Sinatra. We all love Sinatra.

Ol' Blue Eyes is a legend.

I'm trying to work out what could turn out for us to go,

"No, you're better than her," because she was just astonishing.

I perform all over the country, and, of course, I go abroad, as well,

to up to sort of 10,000 people.

OK, thank you. Take your seats, please, for the next performer.

Having performed over clubs and the circuit over the years,

you sort of know what gets the crowd going,

and this was the one that, whenever I perform it, everyone knows it.

I've come here to walk away with £50,000.

Here comes the next act.

If they score more than 80, they'll knock Fay out of the competition.

He looks like a history lecturer.

Hi, I'm Johnny from Essex, and the song I'm singing you today

always makes me happy, always puts a smile on my face -

it's a great song.

-Ooh, he's got a naughty voice.

-He has.

A happy song. What, like Pharrell, or something?

-I always find that I really... I'm so keen for them to be good...

-Yeah.

-# You got a beautiful chin... #

-Oh, this is a bit of me, this!

Whoo!

# You got beautiful skin

# You got a beautiful face

# You got taste

# You got beautiful eyes

# You got beautiful thighs

# You got a lot, without a doubt

# But I'm thinking 'bout blowing you out

# Cos you won't stop talking... # Come on!

# Why don't you give it a rest? #

-I can hardly watch.

-Mum, they're playing Rabbit!

# You got more rabbit than Sainsbury's

# It's time you got it off your chest... #

Love it!

# Now you was just the kind of girl to break my heart in two

# I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you

# But how was I to know you'd bend my earholes too

# With your incessant talking?

# You're becoming a pest

# Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

# Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

# Now you was just the kind of girl to break my heart in two

# I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you... #

Come on!

# And how was I to know you'd bend my earholes too

# With your incessant talking?

# You're becoming a pest

# Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

# Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

# Yup, yup, bunny, bunny Hup, hup, jabber, jabber

# Yup, yup, bunny, bunny Hup, hup, jabber, jabber

# Yup, yup, bunny, bunny Hup, hup, jabber, jabber

-# Yup, yup, bunny, bunny. #

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

Yes, boy!

Oh, if that ain't top spot, I'm going home.

Oh, no!

Well done, Johnny, you got 23!

-Wow! My favourite number.

-Not enough to get in the top three.

-Absolute travesty, mate. I loved it.

-Cheers, Rob.

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-I loved it, mate. It was great fun.

-Geri, what do you think?

Have you been talking to my husband?

Cos it felt like it was about me.

You know what? I think this show is about fun, and it was fun.

It was cheesy, but it was good cheese, so, well done.

-You can't beat good cheese.

-Exactly.

-Oriana, you're our French jazz singer.

-Yes.

Do you have any idea what was going on there?

-Er, no, not really, but...

-LAUGHTER

..but, you know, I love cheese, because I'm French,

-and it was very good cheese!

-APPLAUSE

Well, you've got a convert, from jazz to Chas & Dave.

Well done, Johnny.

APPLAUSE

Go to our musical Danny Dyer.

Yeah, let's drop that one out, can we?

AS DANNY DYER: All right, mate, I'll drop it out.

You don't sound nuffin' like Danny Dyer, do ya?

Do me a favour, jog on, sunbeam, I don't sound

nuffin' like him, do I?

Go on, drop the Danny Dyer, I mean, blow me out, boy.

All right, are you finished?

I'll have that, mate.

-Sorry, Adam.

-I would not worry about these jokers, man.

You were absolutely spot on. I thought it was brilliant, mate.

-Diamond.

-Cheers, thank you, Adam.

Johnny, unfortunately a score of 23 is not enough for the top three,

but I loved it, you've had a lot of fans here.

Well done, Johnny, everyone.

APPLAUSE

Which means that Fay holds on to that place in the top three.

-That was just awful.

-Your face was an absolute...

-Amazing.

I have no poker face.

I've got a synthetic wig, that's what I've got,

and it's just slightly the wrong colour.

Yeah, and also, with synthetic wigs,

you can't always tong them or straighten them.

-They'll melt.

-The heat will melt it.

I'm from Dinas Powys, and I'm a Lady Gaga tribute act.

Performing as Lady Gaga is absolutely incredible.

One minute I'm in an origami outfit, the next minute I'm in full leather,

then the next minute I've actually got all sparks coming out of my...

I'm personally looking for a performer that connects with me.

As soon as you started singing,

you just, like, kind of like melted my heart

in a really quirky, lovely, cutie, silly, lovely way.

I want to see some sass,

I want to see something absolutely mind-blowing

coming out of their performances.

-Guys, what is happening? Like...

-You what?

-How have I lasted?

-Because you're good.

James Thompson, take one.

-Hello.

-Hello.

As far back as I can remember, I've been singing in church.

That's where it all started. I'm still there now.

Singing in church is all about unity,

getting people to connect with the message

that you're trying to deliver,

and, hopefully, that's what I want to bring to the 100.

What's going on? Low score, low score, low score.

-So, what do you think we need now?

-Mate... I need... I need to...

I need to feel something again!

Some people think my voice is smooth and soulful,

other people think my voice is loud and brash.

So, hopefully, the 100 will like me, but...

Here comes the next act. 80 is the score to beat.

-Ooh.

-Ooh!

He looks nice. Happy.

Please deliver.

Hey, I'm James, I'm from Derby,

I'm happy to be here tonight,

and I'm going to take it down a couple of notches.

Derby has got the most stressful ring road I've ever been on.

Just a little Derby fact.

Please be good.

# Girl, I'm in love with you

# This ain't the honeymoon

# Passed the infatuation phase

# And though love sometimes hurts

# I still put you first

# We'll make this thing work

# But I think we should take it slow

# We're just ordinary people... #

Oh, my God!

# We don't know which way to go... #

-That's creamy.

-Yeah.

# Cos we're ordinary people

# So, maybe we should take it slow

# Take it slow, ohh

# This time we'll take it slow

# Take it slow

# Maybe we'll live and learn

# Maybe we'll crash and burn

# Maybe we'll grow

# We'll never know

# Maybe you and I

# We're just ordinary people

# We don't know which way to go

# Cos we're ordinary people

# So, maybe we should take it slow... #

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

-# Take it slow, ohh... #

Oh, he's got it, he's got 100!

Oh, my God!

# This time we'll take it slow. #

AUDIENCE CHEERS

We've got a winner!

-Oh...

-James! You got a full house!

Well done - 100!

-How are you feeling?

-Surprised, yeah.

-A bit overwhelmed?

-Yeah. I'm shocked.

Cos I was, like, if I can get one person to press the buzzer,

I'll be happy, so, yeah, 100 is beyond my expectations.

APPLAUSE Well done.

I'm going to shuffle along all the way here -

everyone is up, it's quite difficult to get past - to Suzanna.

Suzanna's been in tears since the start!

You really enjoyed that, it was very emotional.

Oh, God, look, my make-up, man... I've got no tears left to give.

-My husband proposed to me in a bar in Rome...

-Oh, wow.

..and you took me back to that place. I'm in floods of tears, man.

Honestly, you absolutely did it justice.

-APPLAUSE

-You hit every note.

Your voice is like cream velvet, honestly.

-Now, I just need to reapply my make-up.

-Compose yourself!

APPLAUSE OK - Geri.

Your obvious talent is really inclusive, but it was understated.

It was, "This is who I am, and I want you to join me,"

and this is what the show is about, so, good luck in this competition.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

I'm going to have to try to stand up here and chat to Nathaniel,

who absolutely lost his mind.

Sorry, bruv, but I was shook.

I absolutely admire you.

You just masterclassed me in vocals and in performance.

You sang from your heart, and we felt every ounce of it.

Bless you, sir.

Fair enough. Right, I'm going to go down this way...

Paulus, what made you stand up for James, there?

Ultimately, the fact that you made us come to you,

and it was so effortless.

Absolutely stunning and my heart is full.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you!

Well done, James, I didn't even know he had one - so, it's full.

Well done, James, you scored a huge 100,

which means you take the first spot. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sadly, we lose Fay.

-How are you feeling?

-I feel absolutely amazing.

-This is my first-ever professional thing that I've done, so...

-Aww.

APPLAUSE

Well, Fay, you was in the top three from the beginning,

you've done yourself proud. An incredible performance, well done.

Fay, everyone.

AUDIENCE CHEERS

James, take your seat in the top three.

So, this is when things get serious. We have one act left to go.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

Which means, Lee, if the next act gets more than 84,

you will be leaving the competition.

How are you feeling, Lee?

-Still living the dream.

-Still living the dream!

Fair play, Lee.

Well, anything can happen.

Let's see what happens when we bring out our final performer.

APPLAUSE

Stash, take one.

-I'm Steve...

-..and I'm Claire.

BOTH: Together, we are Stash!

# Love and marriage... #

Are you together?

BOTH: No.

RECORD SCRATCHES

-I touched your knee, then, Steve.

-I know, yeah.

-I feel a bit weird.

-Yeah!

What's it going to take to knock Lee off that spot?

It's going to have to be something that either moves people to tears...

-Yeah.

-..or gets people to dance.

-CLAIRE:

-The song that we're going to be singing

is a song that everybody knows.

People always get up, they always sing along to it.

It's the pinnacle song of the night. It's our signature tune, really.

-Got to get over 84 to stay in.

-Yeah.

-Right?

-Yeah.

Right, let's do it.

The second we're on stage, we're going to bring it.

We just want people smiling and happy.

Please, please, please stand up.

-BOTH:

-Ooh!

Here's the final act of the evening.

If they score more than 84, they'll be in the sing-off,

and Lee will leave the competition.

Hi, guys, we're Stash.

We're going to do a song that we close the night with all the time.

It's an awesome song from an awesome film.

And we'd like to see you all up dancing and singing with us

and enjoying it.

-Ooh.

-From a film.

-What could that be?

-OK.

-# Now, I've... #

-Ooh!

# ..had the time of my life

# And I owe it all to you

# With my body and soul

# I want you more than you'll ever know... #

-Party time.

-# So we'll just let it go

# Don't be afraid to lose control, no... #

Are you ready, guys?

-# Just remember... #

-Oh, she's up!

# You're the one thing

# That I can't get enough of

# So I'll tell you something

# This could be love

# Because I've had the time of my life

# No, I never felt this way before

# Yes, I swear, it's the truth

# And I owe it all to you

# Cos I've had the time of my life

# And I've searched through every open door

# Till I found the truth

# And I owe it all to you. #

AUDIENCE CHEERS

Aww!

APPLAUSE

That was really good.

Stash, well done, you scored 55.

-Good score, but not enough for the top three.

-I know, what can we do?

-Gutted, gutted.

-Did you enjoy yourselves?

-Yeah, thank you.

-Loved it.

-Oh, look, look we got Geri up!

-Yeah, you got Geri up!

-I did!

-For us, that's a win.

-That's it, that's it!

-Aww.

What did you think, Geri?

Stash, I'm actually a bit gutted you didn't get more.

You made me feel, like, more love towards everybody.

I was like, "Oh, yeah,"

and that's what it's about - music bringing everyone together.

-I thought you would have done better. I'm surprised.

-Thank you.

Why are you called Stash?

Ha, ha! OK, I'm going to apologise to Claire, now, then.

My name is Steve.

When I put the duo together,

I started with another girl called Tash. So...

AUDIENCE GROANS

-See what I mean?

-So, we were called Stash.

-Does that mean, if you got together...

-Yeah.

It would be Gob.

-That works for me.

-Yeah! Why not?

James. You didn't get up for that - that wasn't your bag?

The performance was fantastic, your energy was great,

but I think the diction...

# I had the time of my li-i... # ..ff.

The "F" wasn't there, and I was just being a bit picky.

I thought you deflated yourself, then, that little noise.

I'll shuffle down here.

Sorry, Geri, I'm going to have to crab it at speed.

Maria, Tracey, you stood up, you got involved, you enjoyed that.

Well, I have to say, I wasn't thinking

about any of the technicalities, there.

I was thinking me and Trace have had the time of our lives

doing this show, so, thank you.

-Aw!

-I thought you were fabulous. Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you!

Well, Stash, unfortunately,

a score of 55 was not enough for the top three.

Well done, though, we've had a lovely time,

great performance - give it up for Stash, everyone!

APPLAUSE

I liked them!

So, we've got ourselves a finalist.

APPLAUSE

In the top spot, and coming back to the grand final

and a chance to win £50,000, it's James.

Congratulations!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

That means Rachel and Lee will face each other in tonight's sing-off.

Only one of you can join James in the final,

and you'll now get your chance to perform again with a new song.

Both of your scores have been cleared.

Now, the 100, as before, if you like the performance,

you can get up and join in with it, you can stand up for one of them,

for both of them, or neither, it's up to you -

but you should judge them on this performance alone.

Lee, you're up first. Good luck.

APPLAUSE

-I'm very excited to hear them both sing again.

-Yeah.

He has to, has to, has to be better than he was.

MUSIC: Mr Brightside by The Killers

-This is a good choice!

-It is a good choice.

This is a great choice.

# Coming out of my cage

# And I've been doing just fine

# Gotta, gotta be down

# Cos I want it all

# It started out with a kiss

# How did it end up like this?

# It was only a kiss it was only a kiss

# Now I'm falling asleep

# And she's calling a cab... #

-Go on, Lee!

-# While he's having a smoke

# And they're taking a drag

# Now they're going to bed

# And my stomach is sick

# And it's all in my head

# But she's touching his chest

# Now, he takes off the dress

# Now, letting me go... #

I like his voice, so I do.

Energy, energy, energy.

# ..it's killing me

# And taking control

# Jealousy turning saints into the sea

# Swimming through sick lullabies

# Choking on your alibis

# But it's just the price I pay

# Destiny is calling me

# Open up my eager eyes

# I'm Mr Brightside

# And I never. #

AUDIENCE CHEERS

I love his voice.

Not bad.

Well done, Lee, you scored 68. That's a great score -

and, as we've seen before, it could be enough to get you through.

Rachel, you're up next. You've got 68 to beat. Good luck.

APPLAUSE

I'm so excited for her right now. I am.

MUSIC: Run by Snow Patrol

-Ooh...

-Ooh.

-Risky.

-Yeah.

# I'll sing it one last time for you

# When we really have to go... #

-Oh, that voice!

-Yeah, control.

# You've been the only thing that's right

# In all I've done... #

Come on, now, give it, give it, give it, give it!

# Light up, light up

# As if you have a choice

# Even if you cannot hear my voice

# I'll be right beside you, dear

# Louder, louder

# And we'll run for our lives

# I can hardly speak, I understand

# How you can't raise your voice to say

-# Light up, light up. #

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

-She did it again!

-Yes!

-Get in, my son!

-Goose bumps.

-Yeah.

-Goose bumps.

ALL CHEER

Brilliant.

Oh, wow.

Better than she did before.

Rachel, well done - that's huge. 94!

You're into the final.

-How are you feeling?

-I'm speechless.

I mean, Lee is an amazing performer, he did so well,

-and I'm really, like...

-APPLAUSE

You did amazing.

You was excellent, Lee. Sadly, you've been pipped to the post,

but two great performances. So, have you had a good time, Lee?

Yeah, brilliant. Thank you for this opportunity, it's been amazing.

-Yeah.

-Oh, thank you very much, Lee. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Give it up for Lee, everyone!

APPLAUSE

So, we've got our two finalists - James and Rachel.

James, come and join us.

Mate, well done.

Geri, deserving finalists?

Amazing. We are in for such a treat for the final. Wow.

James, How are you feeling? You got 100, you're in the final.

Again, massively overwhelmed, didn't expect it,

so, yeah, I'm over the moon, I'm happy.

Well, congratulations to both of you.

That's it for tonight, thanks to Geri and the 100.

Next week, it's the big one.

James and Rachel will battle it out against our other finalists

to become series champion and take home that £50,000 prize.

We'll see you then. Goodnight!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

# I'm on the edge of glory

# And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth

# Out on the edge of glory

# And I'm hangin' on a moment with you

# I'm on the edge the edge, the edge, the edge

# The edge, the edge, the edge

# I'm on the edge of glory

# And I'm hangin' on a moment with you

# I'm on the edge with you. #

Next week, it's crunch time, as our 10 finalists battle it out

to be crowned champion and walk away with a massive £50,000.

You are current, you are an artist, and, for a second,

I thought I was watching your own concert.

The 100 get their glad rags on...

I didn't know you was in the Power Rangers.

I didn't know they had Sparkle Ranger.

You look like a Bond villain. Georg, sort her out, will you?

All five of you look like you're on trial for fraud.

..and emotions run higher than ever.

Why do you always get me when I'm crying?

Trying so hard not to cry, cos I don't want my eyelashes to fall off!

So, who will be our series champion?

You sang like your life depended on it.

Absolutely loving it. It's like the best concert I've ever been to.
