0:16:18 > 0:16:20But certainly you had real commitment
0:16:20 > 0:16:21and I really enjoyed that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Great energy from you as well.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I thought a couple of times a little bit of rushing going on.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You need to stay in the groove, guys.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31But very, very good performances from both of you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Nice words from Gareth. Now, Kelis, two very different groups,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38a cappella over this side, pop choir over this side.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Who rocked your boat?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I think they were both great. You guys were fantastic.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And I have to say, I have performed pregnant,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47so I know what that's like. You killed it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think the energy was great with both.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You guys are all really fun to watch.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You know when the baby is growing,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56it can sometimes reduce your lung capacity.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Is it hard to sing? - Yeah, it's a fight,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00it's like I'm winning here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Yes.- It's hard. - Seal, lovely Seal.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Speaking as someone who hasn't performed pregnant...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I thought... I thoroughly enjoyed both performances.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Over The Water, I do feel that you rushed a little bit.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18And perhaps maybe not as much energy as Bristol Suspensions.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21But I thoroughly enjoyed it and congratulations to you
0:17:21 > 0:17:24for singing a cappella, I thought that was really incredible.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27APPLAUSE
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Oh, now, only one of these groups will go through
0:17:31 > 0:17:34to the solo battles later tonight.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37The other is about to be knocked out of the competition.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Their fate will be decided by a no-holds-barred-themed riff-off.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49So, gang, let's reveal what your theme is.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Have a look at this.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00And the theme is...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Buonasera, bonsoir, ooh-a-la, senorita, und guten Tag.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07It's foreign languages, guys.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Now, remember, only one group will go through to the solo battles.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Time to find out who is speaking the judges' language.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Good luck, guys.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24# Hey, sister, go, sister
0:18:24 > 0:18:26# Soul sister, go sister

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Now that's what we call a riff-off. It's the new fad of the century.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15This Suspensions came out swinging and smashed it with Lady Marmalade.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And then our friends from Liverpool snuck in a sucker punch
0:22:18 > 0:22:20with little Molly coming out rapping.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21You've got to love it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So much to discuss there, lads.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I need very briefly to speak to Len.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Len, please come forward.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33CHEERING
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Len, what I enjoyed particularly
0:22:36 > 0:22:38from your performance and the dancing,
0:22:38 > 0:22:43we were just treated to a little bit of stomach coming through.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47So hang on, let's just tuck it away, Len, you did extremely well.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Cracking good dance moves. Good work from Len.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Molly, not only were you rapping,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but you were rapping in French.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Indeed.- Tu parles le francais?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- I don't actually speak French. - Doesn't speak French.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So that was very convincing.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Yeah.- Can you give us a bit more of the French rap?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10# Nous et la man on est de sortie
0:23:10 > 0:23:12# Pire qu'une simple moitie on compte a demi-demi

0:23:17 > 0:23:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:21 > 0:23:24And you've absolutely no idea what you were saying.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Something about a dodgy arm. - Something about a dodgy arm.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30LAUGHTER
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Is she always like this? Yeah, OK.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Now, Bristol Suspensions, so, so good.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Stanford here was doing some amazing dancing.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well done, Stanford, you look slightly out of breath, my love.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It takes a lot to wiggle that way.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, Bristol Suspensions, you did fantastically well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Gareth, did one group steal it for you?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I thought both groups had lots to recommend them.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I did think that there were problems on both sides.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03There were little moments of tuning that both groups had.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I loved the community spirit over here, it really comes through.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Hugely entertaining, really great.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I particularly enjoyed Shakira. It's a tough one.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Thank you very much, Gareth.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Now, Kelis, did they surpass your expectations?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19They did. I mean, you guys are all so fun to watch.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I want to hang out with you guys, you guys are so warm
0:24:22 > 0:24:24and there's a real honesty that comes through that I love.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And I have to say, you guys nailed it, it was fantastic.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's a really hard decision.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Seal, if you had to pick a standout moment, what would it be?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37A standout moment for me was when the Bristol Suspensions
0:24:37 > 0:24:41basically came out of the gate, I mean, you ran out of the gate.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I thought you really set the tone, and, to be honest, I thought
0:24:44 > 0:24:48you guys over there seemed a little bit taken by surprise at first,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50but then you seemed to pull it together,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52which was really good, and showed the fight.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Ultimately, you both looked great,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and when you look back, I think you'll be quite proud of yourselves.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Now, only one of them will go through
0:25:00 > 0:25:02to the solo battles later on.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05OK.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Gareth, which group do you want to go through
0:25:10 > 0:25:12to the solo battles tonight?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16One of the groups I felt had the technical edge,
0:25:16 > 0:25:17and that group was...
0:25:22 > 0:25:23..the Bristol Suspensions.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24CHEERING
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well done, Suspensions.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Kelis, who do you think deserves a place
0:25:31 > 0:25:34in those solo battles later on?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- SHE SIGHS - Well, it's definitely been a really hard decision,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39but I have to agree with Gareth -
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'm going to go with the Bristol Suspensions.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:44 > 0:25:46OK.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50We have a decision, but Seal, out of interest, who would you have chosen?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I feel like you just have to give the edge to Bristol Suspensions.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Over The Water, it has been so lovely having you on the show.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Thank you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07We've really enjoyed having you here,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11but going through is Bristol Suspensions.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Congratulations, guys. You put up a very strong fight.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50We have quite a current twist on musical theatre.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52We're down with the kids!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54THEY LAUGH
0:26:55 > 0:26:59In college, we train in dance, singing and acting.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02James is our tutor and our course leader.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I want these guys to just hit that stage, have the time of their lives,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and just give it absolutely everything they've got.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11All of us have part-time jobs,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14but we also actually do spend quite a lot of time together.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19We're going to be doing one of the biggest songs of the last few years,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20and we're going to be up against

0:27:47 > 0:27:49I work lots of long shifts,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52but absolutely love rehearsing with the other girls for The Savannahs.

0:27:57 > 0:27:58Johnny Cash...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I think we all really love and respect Dolly Parton.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02She has an incredible voice.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05By scale, we're quite small in comparison
0:28:05 > 0:28:08to some of the other groups, but we have something that's really unique.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11We think we're quite powerful - just, even though we're four,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13we bring something that's really special.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Up first, performing their version of Uptown Funk,

0:30:18 > 0:30:21it's our country group, The Savannahs.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:28 > 0:30:32# Feeling my way through the darkness
0:30:32 > 0:30:36# Guided by a beating heart
0:30:36 > 0:30:40# I can't tell where the journey will end
0:30:40 > 0:30:44But I know where to start
0:30:44 > 0:30:48# They tell me I'm too young to understand
0:30:48 > 0:30:52# They say I'm caught up in a dream
0:30:52 > 0:30:57# Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
0:30:57 > 0:30:59# Well, that's fine by me
0:30:59 > 0:31:03ALL: # So wake me up when it's all over
0:31:03 > 0:31:07# When I'm wiser and I'm older
0:31:07 > 0:31:11# All this time I was finding myself
0:31:11 > 0:31:12# And I
0:31:12 > 0:31:15# I didn't know I was lost
0:31:15 > 0:31:19# So wake me up when it's all over
0:31:19 > 0:31:23# When I'm wiser and I'm older
0:31:23 > 0:31:28# All this time I was finding myself

0:31:53 > 0:31:56# Lost. #
0:31:58 > 0:32:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Now...
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Savannahs, you took a dance anthem, and you slowed it down...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20IN SOUTHERN DRAWL: ..and you hoed it right down.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21LAUGHTER
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Now, Hannah, Hannah, please come forward.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Hannah Savannah - that works, doesn't it? Hannah Savannah.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29How was that for you, Hannah?
0:32:29 > 0:32:30We loved it, absolutely loved it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Just such a buzz, it's just...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34The whole thing, the whole experience has just been incredible.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Amazing. Well, well done. It was a beautiful thing well done.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, Perfect 6th.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41We have Tay... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Hello, Tay. - You all right? How are you?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I'm really good, Tay.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47TO TUNE OF RESPECTABLE BY MEL & KIM: # Tay, Tay, Tay, Tay
0:32:47 > 0:32:49# Tay, Tay, Tay, Tay... #
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Literally, that will mean nothing to you.- No, I know it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Everyone I know sings it, every time they see me,
0:32:54 > 0:32:55they're like, "Tay - song."
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So what you're saying is, what I did there was just very old hat.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Thanks a lot, Tay! LAUGHTER
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Now, you were all fierce,
0:33:06 > 0:33:11but, Kelis, for you, who was it that packed the biggest vocal punch?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Well, you guys both did a great job.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I mean, you guys are like sugar and sprinkles,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18and you guys look fantastic. I think...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Yeah, I mean, this is going to be really hard.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I have to say I was worried about the song choice at first,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25but I think you guys really pulled it off,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27and it was actually really exciting.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29And then, I guess, my notes for The Savannahs -
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I think there were some blending issues.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33There's four of you, so you have a real opportunity
0:33:33 > 0:33:37to really listen to each other, and just kind of like...
0:33:37 > 0:33:38get in sync with each other.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Seal, this is not going to be an easy decision, is it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44No, it isn't going to be an easy decision.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47I feel that in the case of Perfect 6th,
0:33:47 > 0:33:48I think it was a brave choice.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51I'm not sure whether it was necessarily the right one.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53You know, #RealTalk for a second -
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Uptown Funk is a great song,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58but not necessarily a great choice for this.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00It's a funk song, and, you know,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03you have to be right on it when you're singing funk.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I mean, it is kind of...
0:34:05 > 0:34:08That is rule number one of the genre.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It's more of a kind of soloist's song.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13But it was brave, and you got through it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16The same for you, The Savannahs - I think it was an interesting choice.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19It's really great to see you show your artistry,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21but it is going to be...
0:34:21 > 0:34:22a tough one.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23OK, thank you, Seal.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24- Now, Gareth, again...- Yeah.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27..two incredibly different groups here.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Yeah.- Who, for you, was tippity top of the show-stop?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I thought they both worked.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I thought the choreography was very exciting,
0:34:35 > 0:34:39and I'm rubbish at dancing, and you aren't, so points for that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I did think at times you got a bit tense in your voices -
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- you start to push and shout as you're... - HE PANTS
0:34:45 > 0:34:49..getting out of breath, and then you start to get tuning issues.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51That wasn't always absolutely on point vocally.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54And I thought with The Savannahs, there were moments of real quality
0:34:54 > 0:34:56when your voices did come together, but,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59as Kelis says, it wasn't there all the time, and I think...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Am I right in saying you've not been together that long?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03There are four voices here, four soloists,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07and it hasn't quite yet come through to being a vocal ensemble,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09and I think that's what I'd like to see more of -
0:35:09 > 0:35:13just get that real quality of harmony.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I want that lovely sensation on my ear of honey,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19of all the voices coming together in one syrupy deliciousness
0:35:19 > 0:35:22and I'm not sure I've heard that yet.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Gang, it's all about the blending.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Everyone, it's all about the... What is it all about?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- ALL:- The blending!
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Excellent! Now... We're in panto. Now...
0:35:31 > 0:35:33LAUGHTER
0:35:33 > 0:35:35One of these groups is about to be knocked out and the other
0:35:35 > 0:35:40will face Bristol Suspensions in the Solo Battles later on.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Deciding their fate is, of course, the dramatic Riff-Off.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:48 > 0:35:52So let us activate the theme-generating computer.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01CHEERING
0:36:03 > 0:36:05And the theme is sunshine.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Time to find out who shines brightest tonight.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Guys, very, very good luck to all of you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13APPLAUSE
0:36:20 > 0:36:24# You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
0:36:24 > 0:36:30# You make me happy when skies are grey

0:37:00 > 0:37:02# Sunshine!

0:37:13 > 0:37:17# Apple of my eye

0:37:21 > 0:37:24# Oh, sunshine
0:37:24 > 0:37:29# You are the sunshine of my life. #
0:37:29 > 0:37:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:37:32 > 0:37:35# Sunshine through my window
0:37:35 > 0:37:37# That's what you are
0:37:37 > 0:37:41# My shining star
0:37:41 > 0:37:42# Sunshine!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44# Making me feel
0:37:44 > 0:37:48# I'm on top of the world
0:37:48 > 0:37:50# Telling me I'll go far

0:38:25 > 0:38:27# And don't it feel good?! #

0:38:32 > 0:38:34# Let the sun shine, baby

0:39:24 > 0:39:30- # You gotta feel it - The sunshine in. #
0:39:30 > 0:39:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:39:40 > 0:39:43It's getting hot in here, right?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47First The Savannahs warned the room with their beautiful four-part
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Dolly Parton-style harmonies, meanwhile we got Perfect 6th
0:39:51 > 0:39:54over there shooting off some solar flares with Walking On Sunshine.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Bottom line, it's a battle between sweet and sassy.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Now, I think I speak for all of us
0:40:01 > 0:40:04when I say I'm glad that I slathered myself in Factor 50
0:40:04 > 0:40:08to avoid scorching before that particular Riff-Off.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13Savannahs, I have to say, four of you against a bigger group
0:40:13 > 0:40:16but you really, no, you really stood your ground, though.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17How did it feel?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Yeah, we nearly got clobbered but our plan was just to come out
0:40:21 > 0:40:23and have fun and I think that's what we did
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- and these guys are literally a ray of sunshine.- Aw!- It's so enjoyable.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Well done, Savannahs, that was very strong. Now...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Over to Perfect 6th.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I very much enjoyed the mime with the apple.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40LAUGHTER
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Who's responsible for the apple?
0:40:43 > 0:40:47There we go. Very, very good. Loved that bit.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Now, remember, they're being judged on both their showstopper
0:40:50 > 0:40:53and the riff-off, so Kelis,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56was there one group that shone out in particular for you?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Well, first I just want to say, because we didn't mention it,
0:40:59 > 0:41:00the four girls with the guitars,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I love that, you guys are musicians and it really does show.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05I think it helps when you guys look at each other.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Don't be afraid to, like, you know, contact, you do that,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I loved seeing that and obviously you guys are sunshine
0:41:12 > 0:41:14and you're bright and the energy's amazing.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18I think you guys need to listen, you know, hear the other ones around you
0:41:18 > 0:41:20but all in all, I know where I want to go.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Seal, a crackling riff-off. How was that for you?- Yes, it was.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27It's a bit tricky, this one.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Perfect 6th, I thought you were a bit sketchy, your intro, but you
0:41:32 > 0:41:35really kind of pulled it together for me with the Stevie Wonder song.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38What's the gentleman's name in the green?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Gentleman in the green, quickly, Seal's asking! Seal's asking! Quick!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- David.- It's David, Seal! - David, well...
0:41:44 > 0:41:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I'm a big fan of your voice, so as soon as you started to sing,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- I wanted to hear more of you.- David!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55The Savannahs, I do really applaud your musicianship.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58It's wonderful to see four beautiful women playing instruments,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I mean, the artistry is great.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I felt that the nerves got the better of you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You just need to spend more time together.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- You just need to sing more.- Gareth.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Oh, that was very exciting
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and I think a lot changed in it for me as well
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and I asked Perfect 6th to listen more and we got to Stevie Wonder
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and I really started to see some potential there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21There's a long way to go until we achieve the perfect blend that
0:42:21 > 0:42:24we're all looking for but definitely a step in the right direction.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Just watch out for pushing because it means you get louder and louder,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30it becomes a sort of arms race of volume
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and you can't hear what's going on around you.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35It's really important that you listen all the times,
0:42:35 > 0:42:40as all musicians say, two ears, one voice. Same goes for you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41I thought that was really lovely.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Tempo is at the heart of, I think, the difficulty for you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48You have to find a way, if you do have slower tempos,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50you've still got to invest it with some charge,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53you've got to make me want to get up, even though it's a soft song.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Don't use a soft song as an excuse to just do a low-energy performance.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Emily in the hat, I thought your voice was lovely
0:43:00 > 0:43:02and we only just got a little bit there.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04I would have liked to have heard more from you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06That, those, there, that is my wisdom.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08MEL LAUGHS
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Those, that, there from Gareth. Now... #RealTalk.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Only one of these groups will go through to tonight's Solo Battles.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Seal, please can you give us now the name of the group
0:43:23 > 0:43:27that you would like to put through to tonight's Solo Battles.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30I felt it was really close
0:43:30 > 0:43:34but in the end the group that won me over was, uh...
0:43:36 > 0:43:37..Perfect 6th.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:39 > 0:43:40Thank you very much, Seal.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Kelis?
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Well, again, I want to congratulate both groups,
0:43:47 > 0:43:50but I am going to go with...
0:43:50 > 0:43:51Perfect 6th.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Perfect 6th.
0:43:53 > 0:43:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Now, we do have a winner, but, Gareth,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03who would you have gone for for the Solo Battles?
0:44:03 > 0:44:08- I'm afraid to say I would have gone with Perfect 6th as well.- Oh...

0:44:41 > 0:44:44There is only one place left in the Solo Battles.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Who's going to join Bristol Suspensions and Perfect 6th?
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Let's meet tonight's final two choral contenders.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52It's the Portsmouth University Gospel Choir...
0:44:52 > 0:44:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:45:04 > 0:45:07We are the Portsmouth University Gospel Choir
0:45:07 > 0:45:11and I'm telling you, we are bringing that South Coast fire!
0:45:11 > 0:45:12ALL: Whoo!
0:45:15 > 0:45:18We are a pretty lively bunch of friends.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20I like to think I'm in charge,
0:45:20 > 0:45:22but keeping this lot in check is not easy!
0:45:23 > 0:45:25It definitely helps that we've got
0:45:25 > 0:45:27some competitive people in the group.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30We've got the mentality of winners.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Whoo! Yes!
0:45:33 > 0:45:36Although we like to have a lot of fun,
0:45:36 > 0:45:39we are taking this competition seriously.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42For the showstopper, we are bringing the African influences within us.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44We are here to win!
0:45:44 > 0:45:45ALL: Yes!
0:45:49 > 0:45:51ALL: We are Vocal-I-Sing.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55And we are a ten-piece musical-theatre group from London.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58We're a triple threat - we all act, sing and dance,
0:45:58 > 0:46:00and we've been super lucky in our careers
0:46:00 > 0:46:03to work on some of the biggest West End shows.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08We've all just come together for Pitch Battle,
0:46:08 > 0:46:11so we're really excited to perform on the show.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14We have to practise singing and dancing at the same time!
0:46:15 > 0:46:18Obviously, we've all had a lot of experience on stage.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20This is a completely different scale.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24For our showstopper, we have decided to do something a bit different.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26It's not your typical musical-theatre number,
0:46:26 > 0:46:28so it's a bit out of our comfort zone,
0:46:28 > 0:46:30but we are going to try to do it justice.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Get ready, Pitch Battle, Vocal-I-Sing are going to rock.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Up first, with their version of a fighting anthem,
0:46:46 > 0:46:48performing Katy Perry's Roar,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51it's the Portsmouth University Gospel choir.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42What did you make of your rivals?
0:50:42 > 0:50:45We absolutely adore them, their energy is infectious
0:50:45 > 0:50:48and we are really lucky and excited to be on the stage with them
0:50:48 > 0:50:51for the riff battle. They are amazing.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53So much love going on there.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56So much love!
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Now, Portsmouth University, you go beyond double denim,

0:51:12 > 0:51:15Now, Heaven, how was that for you?
0:51:15 > 0:51:16This is big and it's great
0:51:16 > 0:51:18and we're just all so happy to be here, honestly.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Listen...
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Heaven, how did it feel
0:51:26 > 0:51:31seeing Kelis and Gareth Malone got to their feet when you were singing?
0:51:31 > 0:51:33- How did that feel?- I... I can't...
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Amazing, thank you, guys, so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39And we're just ready to give so much more if you give us the chance.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41APPLAUSE
0:51:41 > 0:51:43Well done, guys.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Seal, two radically different groups here.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51We have gospel, we have musical theatre.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Which one really nailed it for you?
0:51:53 > 0:51:55The answer to that is they both did.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57I just thought they were fantastic.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00And I have to say, this show is, of course, called Pitch Battle
0:52:00 > 0:52:04and both of you really, really embodied that tonight.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06I thought it was pretty fantastic.
0:52:06 > 0:52:07Your performances were amazing.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09It's going to be tough.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11I mean, I need to see more.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13- Gareth.- Hello.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16I sense, my friend, this is going to be another tough decision.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18- Am I right? - This is enormously tough.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20It really was. Both groups, excellent.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23I thought... Portsmouth, I always do that thing,
0:52:23 > 0:52:25I look down the line to see who is not committed
0:52:25 > 0:52:29and every single one of you was 100% in, all the way through
0:52:29 > 0:52:32and that was absolutely great, so very well done for that.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:52:34 > 0:52:36But if I may just...
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Little bits of vocal tension and posture at times
0:52:39 > 0:52:43and getting on the verge of shouting and the tune starts to go.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46What I want to see from you as a refined sound.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48I would say the same thing to you as well.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49I thought it was great,
0:52:49 > 0:52:52but it was one dynamic all the way through,
0:52:52 > 0:52:55with the exception of the very beginning, it was all loud
0:52:55 > 0:52:58and then you got louder and even louder still,
0:52:58 > 0:53:00- so have you got another gear? - Lula, have you got another gear?
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Of course we have! That was a rock song, you've got to rock out.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- We've got many other things. - No-one knows that better than me!
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- LAUGHTER - Quite right.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14Now, Kelis, finally, a bona fide gospel choir we've got here.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16Did that take you back to your gospel choir days?
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Well, I loved... Both of you guys were fantastic.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20You guys are very different.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23I want to say, I think it's a lot harder to sing in unison
0:53:23 > 0:53:25than people think and that is kind of the core of gospel music,
0:53:25 > 0:53:28it's about the oneness and the singing in unison,
0:53:28 > 0:53:30so that was fantastic. And I think you guys are like, "Showtime!"
0:53:30 > 0:53:33I mean, it's just like it's on and it's so exciting.
0:53:33 > 0:53:34It's going to be really hard.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Oh, exciting times!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38One of these groups is about to be knocked out.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42The other will join Bristol Suspensions and Perfect 6th
0:53:42 > 0:53:44in the solo battles.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48The only thing standing in their way is the riff-off.

0:58:07 > 0:58:09Oh, yeah!
0:58:09 > 0:58:13That is the world's most powerful antidepressant, am I right?
0:58:13 > 0:58:16We had Vocal-I-Sing weaving together their rich harmonies
0:58:16 > 0:58:18and amazing West End flair
0:58:18 > 0:58:20and then we had Portsmouth emitting pure joy
0:58:20 > 0:58:22and weaving some a cappella in there.
0:58:22 > 0:58:26Speaking of weaving, that might be the first time anybody has woven together
0:58:26 > 0:58:30Pharrell, Britney Spears, Bobby McFerrin and Judy Garland, right?

0:58:42 > 0:58:45I'm wearing very tight jeans,
0:58:45 > 0:58:48so that helps get those high notes.
0:58:48 > 0:58:51Well done, Vocal-I-Sing, you were absolutely superb.
0:58:51 > 0:58:56Now, Portsmouth University Gospel Choir.
0:58:56 > 0:59:00Jordan, you looked, when you were singing, really,
0:59:00 > 0:59:02as if you weren't worrying at all
0:59:02 > 0:59:05and as if you were really staying happy.
0:59:05 > 0:59:06Am I right?
0:59:06 > 0:59:09Well, you know, don't worry, be happy.
0:59:09 > 0:59:11That's exactly what I said.
0:59:13 > 0:59:14It came through.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17How do you remain so Zen and calm?
0:59:17 > 0:59:20Well, obviously, don't worry, be happy.
0:59:20 > 0:59:24LAUGHTER
0:59:24 > 0:59:26Wise words there from Jordan.
0:59:26 > 0:59:28Very much on message, Jordan, well done.
0:59:28 > 0:59:32Now, Seal, they were both determined to make you happy,
0:59:32 > 0:59:34but did they succeed?
0:59:34 > 0:59:36Yes, they did. Yes and no.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38Yes and no?!
0:59:38 > 0:59:39Well, yes and no.
0:59:39 > 0:59:44With Portsmouth Gospel Choir, with Happy, you know, it...
0:59:44 > 0:59:47It's a funny one, that, because it's such a great iconic song
0:59:47 > 0:59:49and I'm not quite sure whether you got there
0:59:49 > 0:59:51in terms of doing it justice,
0:59:51 > 0:59:53but it was great, you know.
0:59:53 > 0:59:55Overall, I thought you did a fantastic job.
0:59:55 > 0:59:58Vocal-I-Sing, I thought it was...
0:59:58 > 0:59:59I thought it was good enough.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02I thought you kind of got there in the end,
1:00:02 > 1:00:04but your experience in musical theatre, I think,
1:00:04 > 1:00:07really showed through and, you know, ultimately,
1:00:07 > 1:00:10it's going to take more than just great voices at the end of the day,
1:00:10 > 1:00:13so I thought you did a really great job with that.
1:00:13 > 1:00:15Good, good comments from Seal.
1:00:17 > 1:00:19Gareth, please...tell us what you thought.
1:00:19 > 1:00:22I'm going to disagree with Seal, because I thought...
1:00:22 > 1:00:23SHE GASPS
1:00:23 > 1:00:25..I really enjoyed Happy. What do I know?
1:00:25 > 1:00:28But I thought it was great, I really enjoyed the atmosphere...
1:00:28 > 1:00:29CHEERING
1:00:29 > 1:00:32Well done.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34I think we've got just a difference between...
1:00:34 > 1:00:35We've got polish on this side.
1:00:35 > 1:00:38We've got professionalism and then on this side we've got
1:00:38 > 1:00:41something that's quite sort of natural
1:00:41 > 1:00:42and it's very hard to decide between the two
1:00:42 > 1:00:45because both are great, this is not a situation
1:00:45 > 1:00:46where I'm saying one is bad and one is not.
1:00:46 > 1:00:49I thought it was very brave of you to bring gospel to gospel...
1:00:49 > 1:00:50LAUGHTER
1:00:50 > 1:00:52..and carried off with aplomb!
1:00:52 > 1:00:57Amen! Just if I can be slightly critical for a second,
1:00:57 > 1:01:00you do have great technique but at times it gets harsh
1:01:00 > 1:01:04because you are SO determined! SO determined, it can be a little
1:01:04 > 1:01:08overwhelming at times. And your arrangements are simpler
1:01:08 > 1:01:11on this side, so I think we have to take that into consideration
1:01:11 > 1:01:14and at times you're not absolutely pulling off every moment
1:01:14 > 1:01:17of harmony and this is about harmony, it's about singing
1:01:17 > 1:01:20as well as you possibly can, so it's definitely something
1:01:20 > 1:01:22- you need to address - is technical details.- OK.
1:01:22 > 1:01:25And, Kelis, who surprised you in that riff-off?
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Neither one of them know what they're talking about!
1:01:27 > 1:01:30LAUGHTER
1:01:30 > 1:01:34- Well, I think - both great, so different...- Yeah.
1:01:34 > 1:01:38I agree with Gareth in that on one hand I think there's so much
1:01:38 > 1:01:42heart and there's something really honest and natural that
1:01:42 > 1:01:45I love about Portsmouth and then technique and just...
1:01:45 > 1:01:49You guys are so on and there's something in the middle, I think,
1:01:49 > 1:01:51- if that's...- That's me, Kelis...
1:01:52 > 1:01:53LAUGHTER
1:01:53 > 1:01:56Are you saying that I should go through to the next round?
1:01:56 > 1:01:57LAUGHTER AND CHEERING
1:02:00 > 1:02:02My blending is awful.
1:02:02 > 1:02:04Have you ever had a hit record, Mel?
1:02:04 > 1:02:08Well, I might have had a number-one single... Yeah.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10You hadn't mentioned it so I just thought...
1:02:10 > 1:02:11Yeah, I might have had a number-one single,
1:02:11 > 1:02:15for one week only, gang, in Gareth's choir, with John Craven,
1:02:15 > 1:02:17it was a very special moment.
1:02:17 > 1:02:18LAUGHTER
1:02:18 > 1:02:21Now, listen, this is serious, there's only one place left
1:02:21 > 1:02:22in the next round...
1:02:23 > 1:02:27OK, Seal, which group would you like to see go through?
1:02:27 > 1:02:30God, it's so tough, it's so tough... Erm...
1:02:33 > 1:02:36We're looking at the best of the evening so far...
1:02:36 > 1:02:38APPLAUSE
1:02:38 > 1:02:41If I had to trust what my ears tell me, it would be...
1:02:45 > 1:02:47..Vocal-I-sing.
1:02:52 > 1:02:54OK, Gareth...
1:02:54 > 1:02:58Who would you like to see go through to the solo battles?
1:02:58 > 1:03:02Um, this is difficult but I'll cut to it.
1:03:02 > 1:03:05I would like to go with...
1:03:05 > 1:03:07Portsmouth.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09CHEERING
1:03:12 > 1:03:15Right, Kelis, it rests on your shoulders, my love,
1:03:15 > 1:03:18you have the deciding vote.
1:03:18 > 1:03:20- SIGHING:- Well...
1:03:20 > 1:03:22It was really hard, as both gentlemen have said...
1:03:27 > 1:03:28But I'm going to go with my heart...
1:03:28 > 1:03:30It's Portsmouth...
1:03:30 > 1:03:31CHEERING
1:03:44 > 1:03:45Well done.
1:03:45 > 1:03:49Now, listen, you saw how difficult that was for them.
1:03:49 > 1:03:52No word of a lie, they were absolutely torn,
1:03:52 > 1:03:54you were brilliant, weren't they?
1:03:54 > 1:03:56CHEERING
1:03:58 > 1:04:02But...Portsmouth University Gospel Choir - congratulations to you.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05CHEERING
1:04:05 > 1:04:09We're going to see you shortly in those solo battles.
1:04:09 > 1:04:11Now, how...
1:04:11 > 1:04:13There are tears, oh! How are you? Are you OK?
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Yeah, yeah, good!
1:04:15 > 1:04:17Listen, denim is extremely absorbent, so...
1:04:17 > 1:04:19LAUGHTER
1:04:19 > 1:04:22..just rub yourself on somebody's denim and you'll be absolutely fine.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25Listen, well done, guys, you were absolutely tremendous.
1:04:25 > 1:04:27One last time, please give it up for both Portsmouth University
1:04:27 > 1:04:30Gospel Choir and Vocal-I-sing.
1:04:30 > 1:04:31CHEERING
1:04:34 > 1:04:37The groups through to the solo battle are...
1:04:37 > 1:04:38Perfect 6th...
1:04:38 > 1:04:41You really kind of pulled it together for me.
1:04:41 > 1:04:43What's the gentleman's name in the green?
1:04:43 > 1:04:44THEY CHANT
1:04:44 > 1:04:47As soon as you started singing, I wanted to hear more of you.
1:04:47 > 1:04:49I just can't believe it, it's so crazy, thank you so much
1:04:49 > 1:04:51for supporting me and everything.
1:04:51 > 1:04:53..The Bristol Suspensions...
1:04:53 > 1:04:56You ran out of the game. I thought you really set the tone.
1:04:56 > 1:04:59I thoroughly enjoyed it, that was really incredible.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01I was so worried I was going to kick Len
1:05:01 > 1:05:02and I was, like,
1:05:02 > 1:05:05"Please move, cos I don't want to kick you on television."
1:05:05 > 1:05:08..and Portsmouth University Gospel Choir.
1:05:11 > 1:05:13I'm not quite sure whether you've got there in terms of
1:05:13 > 1:05:17doing it justice, but overall I think you did a fantastic job.
1:05:17 > 1:05:20We didn't get Seal's vote, we've got to win him over.
1:05:23 > 1:05:25So, only three groups are left standing and like an impromptu
1:05:25 > 1:05:30camping trip, things are about to get a whole lot more intense.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32Backed by the rest of their core companions,
1:05:32 > 1:05:35the fate of each group now lies on the shoulders
1:05:35 > 1:05:38of just one singer, who must take centre stage in the solo battles.
1:05:38 > 1:05:41Once all three have performed, the judges will decide
1:05:41 > 1:05:44which two groups will go through to tonight's final battle.
1:05:44 > 1:05:47I can sense his presence - here he is.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50Deke, what do you think of the judges' decisions so far?
1:05:50 > 1:05:53I agree with them, these have all been tough decisions and
1:05:53 > 1:05:56if I had to take one group and put them through...
1:05:56 > 1:05:58it'd be Vocal-I-sing...
1:05:58 > 1:05:59I'm going to miss those guys...
1:05:59 > 1:06:00CHEERING
1:06:00 > 1:06:03- ..what a sound... - They were amazing.
1:06:03 > 1:06:07What advice would you give to those soloists now?
1:06:07 > 1:06:09Well, the hardest thing to do right now,
1:06:09 > 1:06:12now that you're all whipped up and your energy and adrenaline
1:06:12 > 1:06:16is going, is to get lost and stop and focus on the
1:06:16 > 1:06:18message of the song, let all this fade away,
1:06:18 > 1:06:21and just tell the story.
1:06:21 > 1:06:25Thank you so much, Deke. Take heed, the master has spoken -
1:06:25 > 1:06:26Deke Sharon!
1:06:26 > 1:06:29CHEERING
1:06:29 > 1:06:31It's time for the solo battles.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37Up first, hoping they'll make the grade,
1:06:37 > 1:06:40let's find out who The Bristol Suspensions
1:06:40 > 1:06:45have chosen to put under the spotlight as their soloist.
1:06:45 > 1:06:48We decided that Alice was going to be our feature soloist.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51I'm really excited and hoping that I can do the group proud.
1:06:54 > 1:06:57I love living in Bristol. I do miss home, though.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01Ever since she was little, Alice wanted to be on the stage.
1:07:01 > 1:07:02Makes me really proud.
1:07:04 > 1:07:07It's a lot of pressure cos the rest of the group follow
1:07:07 > 1:07:09behind me and if I've come in wrong
1:07:09 > 1:07:10then the whole song goes wrong.
1:07:12 > 1:07:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:07:19 > 1:07:20MUSIC: I Can't Make You Love Me
1:07:22 > 1:07:27# Turn down the lights
1:07:27 > 1:07:30# Turn down the bed
1:07:30 > 1:07:35# Turn down these voices
1:07:35 > 1:07:39# Inside my head

1:07:57 > 1:08:04# Don't patronise me
1:08:06 > 1:08:12# Cos I can't make you love me
1:08:12 > 1:08:16# If you don't
1:08:16 > 1:08:19# Love me
1:08:19 > 1:08:22# Why won't you love me?
1:08:24 > 1:08:28- # Love me - Love me

1:09:09 > 1:09:13who, at 17, have the youngest soloist performing tonight.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Singing our solo is going to be...

1:09:22 > 1:09:23CHEERING
1:09:23 > 1:09:27I am really terrified, actually. My boyfriend, Aaron,
1:09:27 > 1:09:30is also in the group, so he completely understands why
1:09:30 > 1:09:32- I'm feeling nervous. - We all have faith in you,
1:09:32 > 1:09:35I think you have to believe in yourself.
1:09:35 > 1:09:39This is definitely one of the biggest moments in my life.
1:09:39 > 1:09:42It just really adds to the pressure and makes me even more nervous.

1:09:46 > 1:09:48MUSIC: How Far I'll Go
1:09:49 > 1:09:53# I've been staring at the edge of the water

1:09:55 > 1:09:59# Never really knowing why
1:09:59 > 1:10:03# I wish I could be the perfect daughter
1:10:03 > 1:10:09# But I come back to the water no matter how hard I try
1:10:09 > 1:10:12# Every turn I take, every trail I track
1:10:12 > 1:10:14# Every path I make
1:10:14 > 1:10:16# Every road leads back
1:10:16 > 1:10:18# To the place I know Where I cannot go
1:10:18 > 1:10:20# Where I long to be
1:10:20 > 1:10:22# Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
1:10:22 > 1:10:25# See the line where the sky meets the sea?
1:10:25 > 1:10:26# It calls me
1:10:28 > 1:10:33# And no-one knows how far it goes
1:10:33 > 1:10:38# If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
1:10:38 > 1:10:41# One day I'll know
1:10:41 > 1:10:45# If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

1:11:00 > 1:11:04# But no-one knows how deep it goes
1:11:04 > 1:11:09# If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
1:11:09 > 1:11:19# One day I'll know, how far I'll go

1:11:54 > 1:11:56Heaven!
1:11:56 > 1:11:57CHEERING

1:12:00 > 1:12:03so having this opportunity to do the solo,
1:12:03 > 1:12:05really does mean a lot to me.

1:12:10 > 1:12:13- Yo... - No?
1:12:13 > 1:12:15I'm so trying to give it my best and I feel like
1:12:15 > 1:12:17it's kind of taken a toll on my voice.
1:12:18 > 1:12:23If we had to give you the solo, do you think you'd be able to do it?
1:12:24 > 1:12:26Yeah? Take it, take it!
1:12:26 > 1:12:29All right, all right, I'll try my hardest.

1:14:42 > 1:14:45That was so good. How did it feel?
1:14:45 > 1:14:50It felt amazing and to sing it with, like, my best friends and be
1:14:50 > 1:14:53on the stage with my favourite people just makes it even better.
1:14:53 > 1:14:59Oh, how nice. And, Gaby, 17 years old.
1:14:59 > 1:15:02What an amazing performance from Gaby.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04Seriously.
1:15:04 > 1:15:06How was it for you, my love?
1:15:06 > 1:15:08I... I can't... I can't even explain it.
1:15:08 > 1:15:11Like, in the rehearsals I was really worried about it and then
1:15:11 > 1:15:16when I was here I just did it and I was like, "Wow."
1:15:16 > 1:15:19I can't explain the feeling. I can't explain the feeling.
1:15:19 > 1:15:22Let me tell you, you did really, really well.

1:15:44 > 1:15:48Only two of these groups will go through to the final battle
1:15:48 > 1:15:54so, judges, who do you rate so high in this SOLO challenge?
1:15:54 > 1:15:56Oh...
1:15:56 > 1:15:59Well, Mel, I thought everyone did a great job.
1:15:59 > 1:16:02The Bristol Suspensions, I absolutely love a cappella,
1:16:02 > 1:16:04love the sound of it and some of those chords
1:16:04 > 1:16:06were really juicy and delicious.
1:16:06 > 1:16:10A couple of bits quite exposed in the arrangement
1:16:10 > 1:16:12but very, very strong.
1:16:12 > 1:16:16I thought they were really, really great performances all round,
1:16:16 > 1:16:17generally speaking.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19Bristol Suspensions,
1:16:19 > 1:16:22I Can't Make You Love Me, it's one of my favourite songs
1:16:22 > 1:16:25and I think it's one of the greatest songs ever written.
1:16:25 > 1:16:29I felt that your balance wasn't as good as it could have been.
1:16:29 > 1:16:31By saying that, I felt like the soloist, Alice,
1:16:31 > 1:16:33you were slightly overpowered.
1:16:33 > 1:16:36But you sounded great.
1:16:36 > 1:16:39I Can't Make You Love Me is one of my favourite songs, I have to say.
1:16:39 > 1:16:40I do have a note for you, though.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42When you're singing in front and you're a soloist,
1:16:42 > 1:16:45you have to take liberty to just, if you have to, close your eyes,
1:16:45 > 1:16:48shut it all out and, like, get in it.
1:16:48 > 1:16:50I think you have to feel the right to do that.
1:16:53 > 1:16:56Perfect 6th, you just left me thoroughly impressed.
1:16:56 > 1:16:59That kind of music is not necessarily what I put on
1:16:59 > 1:17:03- when I go home... - What?- Yeah, right.- I'm sorry?
1:17:03 > 1:17:05But it was just on pro level.
1:17:05 > 1:17:08Like, so good. We were talking, I was like,
1:17:08 > 1:17:11"I want to see them give me a different note," I guess.
1:17:11 > 1:17:15I think you guys went into a round and there was some staccato,
1:17:15 > 1:17:18which I was really... I love that. I thought that was really exciting.
1:17:18 > 1:17:20I know Moana very well and I've sung
1:17:20 > 1:17:23that song around the piano with my kids but I thought you did...
1:17:23 > 1:17:26You did an even better job than my six-year-old daughter.
1:17:26 > 1:17:28It was very, very good. Well done.
1:17:29 > 1:17:31Portsmouth Gospel Choir,
1:17:31 > 1:17:36I had to keep telling myself the young lady that's singing,
1:17:36 > 1:17:40she's not the soloist, because you did such a great job.
1:17:40 > 1:17:42Natalie.
1:17:43 > 1:17:44Well done, Natalie.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48Just warm. It felt like a choir.
1:17:48 > 1:17:51You guys bring the happy. You really do.
1:17:54 > 1:17:57It was lovely to have that much of a solo at the beginning.
1:17:57 > 1:17:59I was waiting for the choir to come in
1:17:59 > 1:18:02and that was a real killer moment for me, so well done.
1:18:02 > 1:18:04Now...
1:18:05 > 1:18:09Once again it's decision time so, judges, please decide
1:18:09 > 1:18:12the two groups that you would like to take forward
1:18:12 > 1:18:14into the final battle.
1:18:20 > 1:18:22We're talking under our breath.
1:18:27 > 1:18:28OK, here it goes. Here we go.
1:18:28 > 1:18:32OK, judges, please tell us, if you would,
1:18:32 > 1:18:34the name of the first group
1:18:34 > 1:18:38that you would like to put forward in our final head-to-head battle.
1:18:38 > 1:18:39Gareth.
1:18:39 > 1:18:41Mel, the first group that we
1:18:41 > 1:18:44would like to put through to the final battle...
1:18:44 > 1:18:46You did a great job.
1:18:46 > 1:18:49And that is...
1:18:49 > 1:18:51Perfect 6th.
1:18:51 > 1:18:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:18:59 > 1:19:04So, Perfect 6th, well done. Only one group can join you.
1:19:04 > 1:19:08Will it be Bristol Suspensions or Portsmouth Gospel Choir?
1:19:08 > 1:19:10Kelis, please tell us, if you will,
1:19:10 > 1:19:15the second group that you're sending through to the final battle.
1:19:15 > 1:19:18Well, we have talked amongst ourselves.
1:19:22 > 1:19:23We are going to go with...
1:19:27 > 1:19:28..Portsmouth.
1:19:28 > 1:19:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:19:33 > 1:19:36Oh, wow. There are microphones...
1:19:43 > 1:19:49Oh. That means, Bristol Suspensions, I'm afraid that was your swansong.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52But, listen, we have loved every single minute
1:19:52 > 1:19:56of all of your performances so very, very well done to all of you.
1:19:56 > 1:19:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:20:15 > 1:20:17You're going to share the same song,
1:20:17 > 1:20:19taking it in turns to out-sing each other.
1:20:19 > 1:20:22While you're performing, our judges will be deliberating.
1:20:22 > 1:20:24Once they've made their minds up,
1:20:24 > 1:20:28our superstar guest judge Seal will take to the stage and join in
1:20:28 > 1:20:33with the group that they want to take through to the live final.
1:20:33 > 1:20:35And the song you're singing is a multi-Grammy award winning
1:20:35 > 1:20:40classic anthem and was written by the great man himself, Seal.
1:20:40 > 1:20:43It's Kiss From A Rose.
1:20:48 > 1:20:50Now, Seal, every time I hear that song,
1:20:50 > 1:20:56Kiss From A Rose, I like to think that maybe you're singing it to me.
1:20:56 > 1:20:57You know, I never thought
1:20:57 > 1:21:00I would get this opportunity to tell you this.
1:21:00 > 1:21:02You are absolutely...
1:21:02 > 1:21:03wrong.
1:21:03 > 1:21:05LAUGHTER
1:21:05 > 1:21:06Oh!
1:21:06 > 1:21:08AUDIENCE: Aw!
1:21:08 > 1:21:10That was mean.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13Who was it written for, Seal? Who was it written?
1:21:13 > 1:21:16Mel, it was written for you and only you.
1:21:16 > 1:21:20Listen, I need to stand up because this is embarrassing.
1:21:20 > 1:21:21Let me stand up.
1:21:21 > 1:21:26Seal, any last-second advice for these amazing choirs?
1:21:26 > 1:21:29You know, I think what I've seen and heard so far, you don't
1:21:29 > 1:21:31really need any advice from me.
1:21:31 > 1:21:36Just relax, have fun with it and give it all you've got.
1:21:36 > 1:21:38There really is everything to sing for.
1:21:38 > 1:21:41One last battle stands between these two groups
1:21:41 > 1:21:44and a place in the grand final of Pitch Battle.

1:25:55 > 1:25:58Now, Seal, why... why did you pick them?
1:25:58 > 1:26:03In every performance, you look for what I call the money moment,
1:26:03 > 1:26:06you know, that magic moment, and I think it was you in the...
1:26:06 > 1:26:09- Where are you?- There's a lot of denim. It's hard to see.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12It was you, right? You took the second verse, right?
1:26:12 > 1:26:16You know, and I think you just, you stayed true to the song but you
1:26:16 > 1:26:19owned it and I think that was enough to kind of push you over the edge.
1:26:21 > 1:26:26Listen, thank you so, so much to tonight's groups for taking part,
1:26:26 > 1:26:29to Deke up there, to all of our judges.
