The Knockouts 2 The Voice UK

Last night...

Kylie and Sir Tom were on knockout duty.

Come on!

As they chose their live show quarter finalists.

Oh, boy!

Tonight...

Is round two of the knockouts.

Get ninja style, people.

Like that!

It's Ricky...

-Are you ready for this?

-Of course.

This decision is really tough!

And Will.

Are you ready?

I think I might be.

That's me thinking in slow motion.

Facing their toughest decision yet.

The knockouts continue right now!

Whoo-hoo-hoo, let's go!

Hello and welcome to The Voice, The Knockouts.

Tonight, our final two coaches must pick their ultimate live show teams.

So, let's meet our four superstars, searching for the next big thing!

CHEERING

Wam-bam, it's will.i.am!

CHEERING

Always a knockout, it's Kylie!

# Two hearts are beating together

# I'm in love, whoo

# I'm in love, whoo! #

Calm yourselves, ladies... and gentlemen, it's Sir Tom Jones!

# Bama Lama, Bama Loo Bama Lama, Bama Loo

# Bama Lama, baby, Bama Loo, yeah

# Bama Lama, Bama Loo! #

And the chief of all the Kaisers,

it's Ricky Wilson.

# We're coming home We're coming home

# Light a fire

# We're coming home. #

Ladies and gentlemen, our superstar coaches!

CHEERING

And tonight's first knockout blow is coming from Team Ricky!

Hi!

THEY CHEER

My team...of course, I think I've got the strongest team!

-I'd be daft not to.

-Ricky can give us the full monty.

It seems like he's got something up his sleeve

all the time, like a ninja.

I know he has a really strong team.

-Mind your back.

-I'll give you a battle, Wilson.

-COCKNEY ACCENT:

-Battle...

Come on, come on!

See, friends.

Guys, welcome.

Well done, everybody.

Knockouts next.

I can't believe how close I am to the lives.

40,000 people applied for this show and now I'm in the last 28.

That is crazy!

Song choice...you choose the song.

This could, potentially, change everything.

There's a massive amount of pressure.

Choose the right song and it shows part of you.

It's crucial that I get the song right.

Choose the wrong song and it can turn people off you.

Last time, I was battling against one person.

This time, I'm battling against the rest of the team.

This is the last time we're going to be together before the lives.

The decision tonight, I've got to whittle it down from seven to three.

It's going to be so tough!

Who's he going to choose, like?

It's stressing me out a little bit, to be honest.

The reality of it is most of us are going home.

That's a really scary concept.

What I'm looking for, I just want the best three.

I want to get someone that's successful out of this.

This isn't just going through to the lives, this is maybe winning it.

So, good luck, everybody. Excited!

THEY CHEER

Come here, everybody!

It's the biggest test for them, it's the biggest test for me...yeah,

it's terrifying.

I can't say goodbye to any of them, really.

And there they are, don't they look amazing?! Give it up for Team Ricky!

CHEERING

Now, there's only space for three of these artists in Ricky's live show

line-up and he'll make his decision once all seven have performed.

-Now, Mr Wilson, are you ready for this?

-Of course!

It's the moment I was made for. LAUGHTER

Are there any final words of advice, Ricky?

Just don't think about anything else but your performance, this

is your time, show the world what you can do and try and enjoy it as well.

Indeed, great words there, Ricky.

Thank you. Right, starting us off it's Ricky's steal,

give it up for Jessica!

CHEERING

Come on, Jess!

Jessica Steele, this is her second time on The Voice.

I don't think she's had a very easy ride.

I stole her from Will's team.

I've never been so low and then so happy in the space of ten seconds!

I really like her and she brings a lot of

personality to the songs she sings.

Hey, Jess.

-You all right?

-Welcome to the knockout round.

What have you chosen?

-Erm, I've chosen La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

-OK.

..by Naughty Boy.

Oh, right, OK. She's doing a very different version of it.

The song, it's just not me at all.

That's what I like to do, I like to pick songs that aren't me

and then change them so they are me.

# Beautiful... #

-I can't remember what the words are.

-Do you want the words in your hand?

-Yes.

-Really?

I am the biggest worrier ever!

So, do you think it's all right?

She had the most questions.

Is my face too expressionative?

Like...

Don't worry about it.

She's having some slip-ups...

Oh, my God!

I think I need to see quite a lot of improvement on her rehearsals.

You're a natural born worrier and you need to become a warrior!

The problem Jessica's got is she thinks about the million

things that could go wrong not the one thing that can go right.

-What do I do with this?

-You give it to me.

-OK, thank you.

-Thank you very much, Jessica Steele.

-Bye.

# Hush, don't speak

# When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it

# When you hiss and preach

# Your new messiah cos your theories catch fire, fire

# I can't find your silver lining

# I don't mean to judge

# But when you read your speech, it's tiring

# Enough is enough

# I'm covering my ears like a kid

# When your words mean nothing

# I go, la, la, la

# I'm turning up the volume when you speak

# And if my heart can't stop it

# I find a way to block it out

# I go, la-la, la la la la la la la la la la la la la

# If our love is running out of time

# I'm gonna count the hours till I lose my mind, yeah!

# La-la la-la la la

# La-aa-aa-aa-aa

# Hey!

# My heart can't stop it I go la-la-la. #

CHEERING

Give it up for Jessica, everyone!

-Great start.

-That was great.

Well done.

That's the best she's done it.

She controlled her emotions.

-Yeah.

-She stood there, like...

That was great, that was good.

-She didn't cry.

-No, she didn't cry.

No, I really liked it.

-I don't know how long she can keep it in, though.

-Way to go, Jess!

I didn't say that.

CHEERING

Next up, singing for a place in the live shows, it's Chris!

CHEERING

Go on, Chris!

Go on, Chris!

-Are you all right, mate? How's it going?

-I'm good, man, how are you?

The thing about Chris is,

he walks in a room and you feel like Chris is here, everything's fine.

And this is even before he opens his mouth to sing, this is just him

and his personality.

He's an unlikely but perfect pop star.

Getting through to the knockouts is like, wow!

I don't think it's quite sunk in yet, actually, that I'm here.

I feel like I have worked really hard.

It's like the icing on the cake.

You're one of my favourite singers and I'm really glad you're here.

The song I'm singing is Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

I moved from Manchester to London to pursue music and follow my dream.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow talks about finding your dreams

and finding your path.

That's the reason why I picked it.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow has been done

-a lot by a lot of different acts.

-Judy Garland...

-Sinatra's done one.

-Patti LaBelle.

-I think Kylie's done a version.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Yeah.

And then there's Chris Royal.

No pressure then.

I think I need to get used to the song as well cos I think

-every time I sing it something's always different or...

-Really?

By the time you sing it on the night, I think

it has to be set in stone what you're doing.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Because it's not worth the risk, you know what I mean?

Although I love the fact that he takes it to a different place every

time, he can't risk his best performance being in the rehearsal.

I'm just hoping and praying that it goes really well.

This is definitely my chance to show Ricky who I am.

I've just got to go out there and, you know,

perform to the best of my ability and deliver.

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Way up high

# There's a land that I

# Heard of once in a lullaby

# Someday, I wish upon a star

# And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

# Where troubles melt like lemon drops

# Way above the chimney tops

# That's where you'll find me

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Bluebirds fly

# Birds fly over the rainbow

# Why, then, oh, why can't I? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Make some noise for Chris, everyone!

Beautiful, beautiful!

Got your handkerchief?

Forgot it.

It's, like, too obvious. It's like, cool, great, you sing like an angel!

Just kidding, it was awesome.

I was going to say, Will!

Next up, it's Beth.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

How old is she?

16. She's the youngest one in the competition.

# Hey, yeah, yeah! #

When I turned around for Beth, it was pure personality.

You're a bit like me but male.

She's the youngest person in the competition, she's 16 but she's cool!

-Hiya!

-Hello, how are you doing?

-You all right, love?

-I'm really good. I'm glad to see you back.

-Yeah!

-What song are you doing and why are you doing it?

-I'm doing Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.

-OK. Why?

I just think it's an amazing song and I'm a teenager,

so this is where I get to totally be me.

-Are you a fan? Were you born?

-No, I don't think so.

-I was three.

-Three?

-Three!

Found out she was three when it came out...three!

Makes everyone feel very old.

I'm only 16 and being surrounded by people who are, literally,

up there talent-wise, is quite daunting.

It's not to do with anyone else and don't worry about them,

you're different, right.

It's all about you.

I don't want her to doubt for a minute that she could be a pop star.

That's what I want from her.

Really, this is the last place to prove yourself before you get

put into the lives or you just get sent home.

And I want to keep proving myself.

# Her name is Noel

# I have a dream about her

# She rings my bell

# Got gym class in half an hour

# Oh, how she rocks

# In Keds and tube socks

# She doesn't know who I am

# She doesn't give a damn about me

# Cos I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

# I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

# Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me

# Oooh

# Oh, yeah

# Dirtbag

# No, she doesn't know what she's missing

# Oh, yeah, yeah

# Dirtbag

# She doesn't know what she's missing

# I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

# Like you. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Let's hear it for Beth!

Hey, Kylie, it's not a very nice title, is it?

-Teenage Dirtbag.

-Teenage Dirtbag?

-Weren't you a teenage dirtbag?

-Yeah, of course he was.

-I'm sure you were a teenage dirtbag once.

-No, dirtbag...no.

LAUGHTER

It was good, though. She was good.

A little pitchy, just a little bit.

-Yeah, but you know, it's a big deal.

-I know, I know...

At 16, I was pitchy.

Up next, the fourth member of Team Ricky, it's Christina Marie.

This is the girl to watch!

-Christina.

-Hello.

-You're a powerhouse.

-Thank you very much.

# Yeah! #

Christina Marie, she's out there on her own.

# The power of love. #

She can give it plenty.

She can sing-sing!

That was unbelievable! You've raised the bar!

She's too good.

-Hey!

-Hello!

-How are you doing, Christina Marie?

-I'm good, how are you?

-Good thanks.

Let's not beat around the bush, she's got this amazing voice.

Soulful diva, powerful, massive voice.

The song I've chosen to sing is Vision Of Love by Mariah Carey.

Big song.

In any singing competition you'd be dissuaded against singing Mariah

cos if you can't do it as well, people are just going to go,

"It's not as good..."

It's the song that made Mariah Carey, Mariah Carey...wow!

That's a big statement.

I am rather nervous with this song choice

because it's such a huge song.

Right then, Christina Marie!

There were a couple of instances where

I didn't get the timing spot on.

Damn the timing.

-What?

-Damn the timing.

Don't be down on yourself, missus!

She might be one of the best singers in the competition but her

best performance has to be the performance she does on the night.

I'm toying with the idea of not putting you through because if you

get to the final I have to sing with you and I'm not singing with you.

SHE LAUGHS

This is the biggest thing I've ever done, musically,

so I need to go out there and just own it really.

This is the one shot I've got, so...

SHE SHUDDERS

# Treated me kind

# Sweet destiny

# Carried me through desperation

# To the one that was waiting for me

# I had a vision of love

# And it was all that you've given to me

# I had a vision of love

# Oh, yeah, you treated me kind

# Sweet destiny

# Knowing the one that I needed

# Would find me eventually

# I had a vision of love

# And it was all that you'd given to me

# I had a vision of love and it was all...

# That you've turned out to be

# Yeah

# Oh, no, no, no! #

Give it up for Christina Marie.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Good luck.

I hate you! I hate you!

-Wow!

-Dang, she can sang.

-She can sang-sang!

She kind of tricked me, though...she tricked me.

-She tricked you?

-In the beginning?

-In the beginning.

Well, the first note sounded like it was too low.

-Yeah.

-But from that point on, forget about it!

Forget about it.

It's like it's no effort for her.

It is, look at her now, she's completely...

-She's got the chops.

-She's got the chops.

Raw talent.

CHEERING

Singing to stay in Ricky's top three, it's Jazz.

CHEERING

Go on, Jazz!

# Who do you think you are? #

Jazz, for me, she's fierce and she can be more real than anyone else.

I don't know how she does that cos she's still pretty young.

The winner of this battle is Jazz.

CHEERING

Me and my mum are really close.

She's always been there for me

and makes me feel more confident about my singing.

I've chosen Work It Out.

-OK.

-Beyonce's just my idol.

-Me too.

-Is she?

-Yeah, can't you tell?

Beyonce, she loves Beyonce.

She's doing Beyonce. Bit safe.

# You got to work it out. #

Then you listen to the song and you go, "This it isn't safe."

It's a hard song to sing.

Jazz, these are big shoes to fill but don't let that intimidate you.

I don't want people thinking,

"Well, that didn't sound as good as Beyonce's."

Because I'm trying to change it enough,

so that people can believe it was my song.

# Break it down now! #

I think she's got the potential to take this to a great place

but on the night it just has to knock me backwards.

I really, really want to be in the lives.

Getting this far means that I don't want to stop.

I want to go all the way.

# How you doing, honey, baby?

# You know I don't ask for much but

# For a girl spending time alone can be pretty rough

# But I hear a knock on my door

# You know it's yours for sure

# We can't wait for the bedroom

# So we just hit the floor

# Is y'all all right

# I don't know but I know what's happening to me, girl

# Is y'all all right

# Uh, break it down now

# See, you got to work it out See, you got to work it out

# A brother got to work it out

# Aah-oooh!

# So, baby, hold me like you don't want to let go

# I'm feeling foxy

# Cos, boy, you working it out

# Daddy, you given me a taste of your honey

# I want the whole beehive

# I'm going to call you my sugar

# Cos I had the sweetest time

# See, you got to work it out See, you got to work it out

# A brother got to work it out

# Oooh, no, no. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That's Jazz, everyone!

Ricky!

I don't know what to say!

What is it with you?

What do they put in your tea they don't put in our tea?

What are you, a magnet?

Erm, I don't know what to do!

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, no.

That was brilliant!

That's one of those moments. That's one of those.

Yeah!

APPLAUSE

Next up, singing to secure a place in Ricky's top three, it's Max!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Max is my Scottish judo champion

and singer-songwriter with the guitar,

who the girls are going to love.

I've chosen Gabrielle Aplin, Home.

I'm not that familiar with this song but maybe that's a good thing

because I want people to be drawn in by you not by a song.

I chose the song because it's a unique song

and I can put my own spin on it.

His biggest weapon is his confidence.

He doesn't let anything stand in his way.

Performance-wise, show us your eyes a little bit.

Girls love that!

He stands up there, he doesn't lose his cool and he's really cool.

That's great, I'm really happy with that.

I've put a lot on the line to be here.

I can't be an Olympic athlete and a musician, it's one or the other.

By me being here shows how much I want this.

Good luck, it's going to be a blast.

I want to prove to everyone that I've got what it takes.

# I'm a phoenix in the water

# A fish that's learnt to fly

# And you've always been a daughter

# But feathers are meant for the sky

# So, I'm wishing, wishing further

# For the excitement to arrive

# Just I'd rather be causing the chaos

# Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

# With every small disaster

# I'll let the waters still

# Take me away to some place real

# They say home is where your heart is set in stone

# It's where you go when you're alone

# It's where you go to rest your bones

# It's not just where you lay your head

# It's not just where you make your bed

# As long as we're together,

# Does it matter where we go?

# Home, home. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Make some noise for Max!

I want to be on Team Ricky! Well, I don't, actually.

No, you don't.

-That was beautiful.

-Pitchy, though, pitchy.

-It was pitchy at the beginning.

-In the beginning, yeah.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And last up for Team Ricky, it's Emily!

Come on, Emily!

This could throw a spanner in the works, this last one.

-Oh, yeah?

-Really?

# Baby, baby! #

Emily from Blackpool.

She's spectacular, right?

# Thanks for making me a fighter! #

My dad owns a hotel in Blackpool. He's the chef. You look like Dumbo.

Sometimes I help my dad out at the hotel when he needs me...

Enjoy.

..but singing is what I want to do in life.

She could be fronting a band, playing at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom

but I don't think that's enough for her.

I think she wants more.

The song I've chosen is Slip by Stooshe.

I was a bit worried about Emily's song choice.

The reason why I've chosen it is because it's completely

different to the previous two songs that I've sung.

I just want people to see that I can be young and fresh.

I really like it but...

You don't love it.

-I think it can be a lot better.

-Mm-hm.

The song, it's kind of copying of that kind of '60s thing

and I'd rather hear her singing, you know...

It's a really well known song.

I'm not sure whether it'll pay off.

I just don't want you not to put me through just because of this song.

His reaction wasn't amazing.

But if I go out on that stage and prove to him

the reason why I chose that song is because it'll show off my voice

and that is going to make Ricky put me through.

Yes!

# I'm like, baby

# Where did your love go?

# Yeah, huh, you say that I got it but it's so damn hard to believe

# Yeah, I'm like, baby

# Where did your manners go?

# Yeah, huh!

# You used to open doors and I adored your courtesy

# Oh, yeah, yeah

# So, if you really, really, really wanna stay in my bed

# You've got to win me over again

# Why did you let it slip?

# Bring your love back to me

# Bring it back to me

# You put your heart back in it

# Say it like you mean it

# That's how we used to be

# Why did you let it slip

# Oh, baby, where did my smile go?

# It's hard to believe how you could ever get enough of me

# Yeah, yeah

# Yeah

# Oh, yeah

# Say it like you mean it

# Like it used to be

# Why did you let it slip away?

# Oh, yeah! #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Give it up for Emily, everyone!

Let's hear it for Team Ricky!

Whoop, whoop, whoop!

Ricky, that's it, my man.

Seven fantastic performances,

let's hear what your fellow coaches made of them.

Tom, I mean, how must these guys be feeling right now?

Terrified!

LAUGHTER

I mean, it's a big thing to get up on that stage, for anybody.

Absolutely! Who would be your number one tonight, Tom?

Who stood out the most for you?

For me, it would be Christina...and Jazz...

CHEERING

..and Chris.

Wow!

I mean, they all did a great job.

They're all strong enough to go through really.

You're a gentleman, thank you very much, Tom.

Mr will.i.am,

who should be staying tonight on Ricky's team?

Erm, Chris really knocked it out, wow!

CHEERING

And Christina...

..was pretty amazing!

You, like, annihilated it!

Thank you.

-Great stuff.

-And Jessica as the third.

CHEERING

You have an incredible team, Ricky.

I wouldn't like to be choosing three out of this incredible seven!

CHEERING

OK, Ricky, it's time to get serious now.

We need you to make your first knockout decision.

Ricky, who gets your first place?

-You thought it was going to be easy, didn't you?

-Yeah, you told me, Tom.

Erm, from the beginning,

I promised this person that I would fight for them

and I would see them through as far as they could go.

OK, so, Ricky,

please tell us the name of the first person through to the live shows.

The first person through...

CHEERING

First person through to the live shows is...

..Chris!

Congratulations, Chris!

CHEERING

Chris, you are through to the live shows,

come and see Ricky, my man!

Congratulations, buddy, how are you feeling right now?

Wow! I'm just speechless. Thank you.

I'm through to the live shows, it's mad!

You are indeed, Chris, congratulations. Stay here,

cos we're about to find out who Ricky is taking through next.

So, two places remain on Team Ricky.

Ricky, who gets the second place?

The second place, erm, was for me,

the highlight of the blind auditions and I think I should be

thanking them more than they should thank me for putting them through.

The second person going through to the live shows is...

..Christina Marie!

Christina Marie, congratulations, you are through to the live shows!

Thank you.

Christina, huge congratulations!

Well done, hon.

I know you're very emotional but is there anything you'd like to say?

Just thank you so much.

Listen, well done.

You're through to the live shows, Christina, well done!

We can't wait to see you guys in the live shows but let's see who

has that all important final spot on Ricky's team.

So, there's only one place left on Team Ricky.

I like Beth too. I like little Beth, I do, too.

-But it's up to you.

-I know that.

-It's your call.

I know. OK.

OK, Ricky, who is the final artist staying on your team?

OK, this is the tough... This is really tough.

Whoever I put through as the final person is because...

It's because of what I think they can do,

not because of what they've done already.

Erm... The final person going through...

AUDIENCE SHOUTS

Go with your heart, Ricky.

..Emily.

Congratulations, Emily!

You've completed Team Ricky, you're through to the live shows.

Emily, come on down. Come and see Ricky.

Everyone, give it up for Emily.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, my God! Thank you so much.

I promise to God, I won't let you down.

Come over here. Well done.

Congratulations, Emily. Was you not expecting that?

-I think I'm going to faint.

-I've got you if you do. Don't worry!

I'm shaking with excitement. I promise I won't let you down.

-We three are going to bring it, yes, we are.

-Yes!

OK, well, listen, give it up for Ricky's newest team.

Chris, Christina Marie, and Emily!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ricky, they haven't made it to the live shows

but you must be so proud of your team.

APPLAUSE Yeah, I mean...

I'm not only proud of you because I think you're the best, but I'm proud

of you because of the way you were around each other and the way you

made each other feel, like a family, and you helped each other so much.

I'm so proud of that.

Everyone give it up for Jessica, Beth, Jazz and Max.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

-Thank you for stealing me.

-Don't start crying again.

-You're crying again!

-At least I didn't cry when I was on stage!

You almost had it then.

It was so close.

SHE SOBS

I don't think Ricky was expecting to pick Emily himself.

He almost said Jazz.

He left it to the last second,

and something told him Emily.

THEY SCREAM

I thought he was going to pick Jess or Jazz and I was like,

"Oh, my God, he's going to go with Jess or Jazz,"

and then he said my name and I was like, "Oh, my God, aaargh!"

I can't explain why I went with Emily, but Kylie just said,

"Go with your heart" and it changed in that second.

Ricky's team has been the highlight of the knockouts so far.

Christina kind of threw me off at first

and then she just exploded with fantasticness.

Celebrate tonight!

Chris Royal sang Over The Rainbow

and I've sung that song over and over, night after night on tour.

He performed it a way that I haven't heard it before so, for me,

that was a no-brainer, he was fantastic.

Is the winner on my team?

You never know because it's up to the great...Great British public.

# Rule Britannia... #

I think I've got a pretty good,

-like, idea of what the British public will like.

-You do?

-Yeah!

-Well, please tell me!

They're always right. You're always right.

Ooh, it's on.

The competition is on because I'm a fan of Ricky's team

and I will probably be a fan of Will's team as well.

It's kind of like deja vu in a way so I know what I'm facing.

I want to be knocked out.

That's tonight's first knockout in the bag.

Next up, going from seven to three, it's Team Will.

My team is pristine. Vocals to the extreme.

That's my team.

-You guys ready?

-Mm.

-Yeah.

I'm sure Will has got really promising talent in his team.

I'm just looking to be blown away.

His team is fresh. Ha-ha-ha!

Did I just do a funny laugh, then?

Do you know, like, secret ingredients to blown away sauce?

It's the songs!

I think the song choice is probably one of the biggest

decisions I've ever had to make.

Choose the wrong song and you're gone, it's simple as that, isn't it?

Bring the fire, bring the heat. That's how you compete.

I think Will is going to have quite a tough time choosing.

There's seven of you guys and at the end of the knockouts,

there's only going to be three of you guys.

# There was seven, got to move them down to three

# That means the other four is going to be S-A-D, sad, sad... #

HE BEATBOXES

Right now I'm fighting for my place on that team

and there are six other people in the way of my dream.

This is no joke now.

This is the moment where you need to go to the live shows.

I'm up against some, like, stiff competition, which is scary.

So the knockouts get tougher because I think I've got a squad

full of songbirds, and I'm terrified that I'll have to eliminate four

because I could be sending a superstar home and that ain't smart.

And there they are. Give it up for Team Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, from seven artists, Will can only take three into the live shows.

He's going to make his choice once all of them have performed.

So, Will, are you ready for the knockouts?

I think I might be.

Well, that's a good thing because we're about to do them.

They have one last chance to impress you,

-so is there any final words you'd like to say to them?

-Erm, yes.

Each and every single one of you guys are amazing

but three of you go through and four don't,

so let's let the performance...

be the deciding factor.

OK, well, the time for talking is over.

Let's get this knockout started.

The first person singing to stay on Team Will is James.

-Word up, James.

-Hey, Will! I'm good.

James, he reminds me of, like, a Ziggy Stardust,

Bowie, Billy Idol.

He's got something real special.

I'm singing Love Hurts by Nazareth.

-By Nelson Mandela?

-No!

-Just kidding.

-Nazareth.

The reason why I picked Love Hurts is because I remember the first

time hearing it, and my hairs just stood on end.

It was a crazy feeling and I would love to be able to replicate that.

Wow, that's powerful.

From the beginning of the competition,

I was quite shy and introverted, but with all

the help from Will, I've really been able to come out of my shell.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's tough.

If James goes within and harnesses 1,000% James and sings wonderfully

like he does, like he knows how, he'll be James the victor.

I want to take that confidence through life

and hopefully to the next stage of the competition,

where I think I will show the world who I am.

-Thank you.

-All right, James.

-Yay! Cheers, man.

# Love hurts, love scars

# Love wounds

# And mars

# Any heart

# Not tough

# Nor strong

# Enough

# To take a lot of pain

# Take a lot of pain

# Love is like a flame

# It burns you when it's hot

# Love hurts

# Some fools think of happiness

# Blissfulness

# Togetherness

# Some fools fool themselves

# I guess

# But they're not foolin' me

# I know it isn't true I know it isn't true

# Oh, oh, love hurts #

Well, I liked that. I liked that!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You did so well!

-RICKY: That was really good, wasn't it?

-It was good.

-I can tell he means it.

-Yes.

-Yeah, great stuff, that.

Next into Will's knockouts, it's Iesher.

What's up Iesher?

Iesher blew me away, the first note I ever heard from her.

Bham, I turned around.

She's just like this little powerhouse.

All that voice from that little girl? What?!

What song are you singing?

I've chosen to sing Whitney Houston, Try It On My Own, because of my mum.

She used to sing this song to me when I was younger.

I haven't told my mum, it's like a secret.

She's going to be in the audience tonight and I can't wait

-to see her reaction.

-Let's check it out.

-Get the passion.

When I first came to the blind audition, I was really, really shy,

but working with Will, my confidence was there, but it can go there!

Bham.

There's some people that are just not confident.

She just has to remember that she is amazing.

Oh, come on, I'm not that short!

I'm like a bottle of Coke

and then you shake it and it's like zzzz!

That's how I'm feeling.

# I'm wiser now

# I'm not the foolish girl you used to know

# So long ago

# I put myself aside

# To do things your way

# But now it's time for me to take control

# I start again, go back to one

-# I'm running things in my way

-My way

# Can't stop me now, I've just begun

# It's time for me to finally stand alone

# Stand alone

# I am not afraid to try it on my own

# And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

# I'll live my life the way I feel

# No matter what, I'll keep it real

# Cos you know

# It's time for me to do it on my own. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Put your hands together for Iesher!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-She's great, isn't she?

-Yep.

It's like she's having a cup of tea.

"Oh, well, that just happened!"

That amazing thing just happened!

Up next, singing for a place in the lives, it's Callum.

-Come on, Callum!

-Come on!

-I think we've found Callum's family(!)

-Come on, Callum!

How are you?

Callum is amazing, he sings really good and he wants to win.

For me to set myself aside from the group, I've really

got to deliver on my performance and work the stage and dance around.

-For me performance is everything.

-What song will you sing?

-Girls Aloud, Sound Of The Underground.

Callum picked a song where he has to move a lot and dance.

He's already running out of breath.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Got to get them breaths under control.

Mm-hm. Yeah.

# Sound of the out of breath... #

HE LAUGHS

# I've been shaking my shoulders like a maniac... #

Is he going to do nice vocal runs?

Or is he going to run around stage?

He has to choose what he's going to do.

I feel like I've taken a massive risk with my song choice.

But there is a fire in my belly now and I need to be in those live shows.

I have to be there.

# Don't you know I like a boy who moves... #

# Disco dancing with the lights down low

# The beats are pumping on the stereo

# Woh-oh-oh-wah

# Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall

# They're saying crank the bass, you've got to give me some more

# Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ah

# Water's running in the wrong direction

# Got a feeling it's a mixed-up sign

# I can see it in my own reflection

# Something funny's going on inside my mind

# Don't know what is pushing me higher

# It's the static from the floor below

# And then it drops and catches like fire

# It's the sound I... it's the sound I...

# Sound of the underground

# The beat of the drum goes round and round

# Into the overflow

# Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

# Out to the electric night

# Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights

# The beat goes around and around

# Sound of the under... sound of the underground. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Make some noise for Callum!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fantastic!

Something was wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it sounded like it went to another key.

I mean, I don't know...

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Singing to stay on Team Will, it's Jermain.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I really like this guy.

Yeah, he could sing, that kid.

Jermain is this old soul.

He has a heart of gold.

I want to take my music and help people.

I've always said I want to be the first singing black Prime Minister.

You might find a black Prime Minister before me but he ain't going to sing.

I have decided to do A House Is Not A Home.

-That's my mom's favourite song.

-That's my favourite song.

Momma, Jermain's singing A House Is Not a Home.

Hey, will.i.am's mum.

Will.i.iam's mum's favourite song.

So that's more added pressure onto me.

Don't mess it up.

HE LAUGHS

I need to give an amazing performance

that can make will.i.am's mum turn around and say,

"Oh, I like that young man."

You don't want to do the Scooby-Doo.

SCOOBY-DOO HOWL

You did it a couple of times.

# Yeah... #

That's Scooby-Doo! You got to control the Scooby on that one.

OK.

SCOOBY-DOO HOWL

He's well-mannered, humble...

It sounds classic.

But his humbleness could hold him back.

You can't politely decapitate the competition.

You just got to slice.

Whoosh!

I am going to pull out all the stops.

Because this is no joke now.

It's my moment to shine.

Will.i.am.

# A chair is still a chair... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Even though there's no-one sitting there

# But a chair is not a house

# And a house is not a home

# When there's no-one there

# To hold you tight, no-one there

# You can't kiss good night... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Now and then I call your name

# And suddenly your face appears

# But it's just a crazy game

# When it ends

# It ends in tears

# Darling, have a heart

# Don't let one mistake keep us apart

# I'm not meant

# To live alone

# Please be there, still in love

# With me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Jermain, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Beautiful! That was beautiful.

-You've got some voice here.

-No-one's doing that at the moment.

-No.

-KYLIE: I was gone.

-That's the kind of music I understand.

He's got so much poise, though.

Amazing.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Next, to the fourth member of Team Will - it's Anna.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Anna, she's like, "I'm the girl that plays the harp, that sings..."

# Up all night... #

"..like a fairy."

HE PLUCKS HARP

-How are you doing?

-Sorry, I was messing around with you harp.

Do you want me to tune it again?

-I've chosen to sing Autumn by Paolo Nutini.

-Let's check it out.

I sang it once at school.

It was kind of the first time that people said I could maybe sing.

It really helped with my confidence.

Also, it's just a really beautiful song.

# Autumn leaves... #

It's the least likely song to see someone just trailblaze.

I'd had quite a simple arrangement.

He just went, "OK, I want drums..."

Maybe toms or timpanis.

Something tribal.

It was really interesting to see Will do his thing on the song.

Glockenspiel, bells.

And then acoustic.

SHE LAUGHS

It was great to have first-hand experience of what Will could do to a song.

If we doll-up the production,

some freaking leaves falling down on your head...

It's really interesting to see, I am really lucky.

THEY APPLAUD

Anna, she chose a not-so-good song.

But at rehearsals, she gave 100%.

I'm worried that the song is a little bit safe.

I've always wanted to do music and pursue a career in it.

I don't want it to end. I want to go as far as I can go.

# Autumn leaves under frozen snow... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Hungry hands

# Turning soft and old

# My hero cried

# As you stood there in the cold

# Like these autumn leaves

# I've got nothing to hold

# When I look at you

# Whoa, I see me

# Making noise so restlessly

# And now it's quiet

# And I can hear you say

# My little fish, don't cry

# Aye, little fish, don't cry

# Autumn leaves

# Have faded now. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it, please, for Anna!

Sounded good!

-That was sweet.

-I can't stop listening to that.

Very sweet.

RICKY: She's great.

I don't think anyone could dislike that.

That's right.

Up next, it's Team Will's newest member,

Nomakhosi.

CHEERING

SCREAMING

Nomakhosi's family.

"Nomakhosi, we love you, girl!"

Nomakhosi.

No, # Makhosi... #

I stole her cos she's a gem.

She's vocal jewellery.

Happy I stole you.

I'm happy you stole me, too.

She's singing Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars.

I chose the song because it's fun.

That's what I like to do on stage, I like to have fun.

But being new to the team

comes with a little bit of pressure.

Will doesn't really know me as well

-as he knows the other contestants.

-That was class right there!

Here comes Nomakhosi. She's stomping

on other people that was on my team.

I'm going to go, "Knock, knock, knock.

-"Jermain..."

-Yeah.

-"..watch out for Nomakhosi."

I'm going up to Callum, "Ring, ring, ring.

-"Hello, Callum...!"

-Will...

"..watch out for Nomakhosi."

OK.

Ain't nobody should be sitting round, sitting cosy

when Nomakhosi's in the room.

-You got skills all up in the air.

-Thank you!

Cos I'm the steal,

I have to prove to people that is why he stole me.

# Looky here, looky here now, what do we have?

# Another pretty thing ready for me to grab

# Little does he know that I'm a wolf in sheep clothing

# And at the end of the night it's him I'll be holding

# I love you so, that's what you'll say

# You'll tell me Baby, baby, please don't run away

# Run, run, runaway, runaway baby

# Before I put my spell on you

# You better get, get, getaway!

# Cos everything you heard is true

# Your poor little heart will end up alone

# Cos, Lord knows, I'm a rolling stone

# So you better run, run, run away, baby

# Yeah

# I ain't trying to hurt you, baby

# I just want to work you, baby

# Not trying to overload, no, no, no, no

# Whoa, whoa, ah!

# Oh, ah!

# If I'm gonna scare you

# You better get a, get a, get away

# Run, run, run

# Your poor little heart will end up alone

# Cos, Lord knows, I'm a rolling stone

# So you better run, run, run away

# Baby!

# Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nomakhosi, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

RICKY: That was great.

KYLIE: I love the way she moves.

SHE LAUGHS

What are you trying to do?

KYLIE: Shut up!

-TOM:

-Attitude.

She puts a ba-ba-ba-ba in a bomp.

Yeah. "Who put the bomp in the bomp-de-bomp-de-bomp?"

"Who put the ram... ?"

I think it was you.

I saw you putting the bomp in the bomp-de-bomp-de-bomp....

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Last up for Team Will, it's Sophie May.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sophie May should have played a role in The Great Gatsby

She just seems like 1920s. She's dope.

I'm going to sing Moon River by Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn is just like a goddess. She's amazing, I love her.

I'm freaking myself out.

Audrey will be looking at me, like, "Sophie, you've ruined my song!"

SHE LAUGHS

# Moon river... #

Very rarely you are going to come across a Sophie May.

She is like a unicorn.

She took me to, like,

wonderland.

-Sounds great.

-Thanks.

Sounds like I'm on a swing in a meadows

and the spring, and birds is flying

and butterflies and stuff, and my girl is, like, frolicking

through the meadows, like, "Will, come over here," and I'm like,

"Hell, no, I'm on a swing."

THEY LAUGH

I just don't want it to end.

It's overwhelming because you know how good everybody is

and you're just thinking, "I'm up against all these people."

That's what I'm talking about.

To make sure that I go through to the live shows,

I will have to make him feel exactly the same way he felt

when he was in rehearsals.

Thank you.

# Moon river... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Wider than a mile

# I'm crossing you in style

# Some day

# Oh, dream maker

# You heartbreaker

# Wherever you're going

# I'm going your way

# Two drifters

# Off to see the world

# There's such a lot of world to see

# Mm-mm-mm

# We're after

# The same rainbow's end

# My huckleberry friend

# Moon river

# Mm-mm

# And me. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Give it up for Sophie May, everybody!

And let's hear it for Team Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, Will, that's it. Your team have all sung.

Before we hear from you about their performances,

let's go to the other coaches.

Ricky, seven very different performances there.

What did you think?

I was just thinking how diverse it is, and it's clever on Will's

part, but he's made it harder for himself, cos you can't pick them off.

It's really hard to whittle them down.

So how would you whittle them down?

I'd just go for my favourites.

LAUGHTER

-Which are?

-I like Jermain.

CHEERING

And Anna, of course.

CHEERING

Amazing.

Will, you have such a job on your hands here,

and as Ricky said, you've got a bit of everything there.

You are all fantastic,

and being able to sit back and it's not my choice, I enjoyed everything.

Tom, who would you say deserves the top spot on Team Will?

Well, for me, I will say Jermain.

CHEERING

He sounds like a tenor when he goes up,

and he sounds like a bass baritone when he goes down,

so he's got the whole choir right there in one man.

-The whole choir!

-The whole choir's right there.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, it is Will's team and it's Will's choice,

so, Will, it's time to make your knockout decision.

AUDIENCE SHOUT CONTESTANT NAMES

So who gets that first spot?

First person that's going to go through is...

Wow, everybody went quiet when the light went on.

LAUGHTER

..Iesher.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Iesher, congratulations, you are through to the live shows.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Well done! Oh, look at the tears! How are you feeling?

Speechless.

CHEERING

I can't believe it. I'm trying to keep in my tears right now.

Let them go, it's fine, you've made it.

You're through to the live shows. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, so two places remain on Team Will.

AUDIENCE SHOUT CONTESTANT NAMES

Will, who gets that next spot?

Jermain.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I love you so much. You're so good. I love you.

Jermain, congratulations, you are still on Team Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Come here! Well done!

-Thank you so much, Emma.

-How are you feeling?

-Amazing.

Thank you so much, Will, for the opportunity.

-Thank you for singing wonderful.

-Thank you.

-And you certainly did that. Well done.

-Thank you so much.

-Well done.

OK, so there's one crucial place left on Team Will.

AUDIENCE SHOUT CONTESTANT NAMES

So, Will, who is the final artist staying on the team?

Sophie.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sophie, congratulations! You are still on Team Will.

Come down and see Will.

Oh, my God!

Thank you so much.

Well done! You did it! You are going through to the live shows.

Oh, my God, it's mad.

Please give it up for the finalists on Team Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Will, these guys beat thousands of others to get to this point.

-They've been absolutely fantastic, haven't they?

-Yeah.

CHEERING

It's a treat to see you perform and hear you sing all the time.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you so much.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Guys, we've loved having you,

and I hope you've had a fantastic time on The Voice.

Please, show your appreciation for James, Callum, Anna and Nomakhosi!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you so much. This is really amazing.

-Amazing experience.

-Thank you.

-This is not over.

-No, it's not.

We will meet again.

Well done, guys!

Thank you so much.

-Hey, Anna.

-Hey.

-Thanks for being so amazing.

I wasn't surprised,

because he's always going to do something unexpected.

Sophie May, I don't know what she's been doing in Wakefield

all her life, but I don't know why we've never heard of her.

She's terrific.

Mother's love, a mother's love!

Jermain, he stood out to me. He has this tremendous range.

Iesher came on so far from battles.

I'm sure Will's going to work on her performance, cos the voice is insane.

Team Will. Team Will.

Will's team, they're all individuals there.

Hey!

Yeah, real diverse group and I'm not sure... I think that's tactics.

Team Will!

I designed it that way.

HE LAUGHS

Honestly, yeah, I wanted to have uniques, and uniques is what I got.

-Well done on the teams, everybody.

-Yeah.

-We all got strong teams, fair play.

-Yeah!

The knockouts have been exactly what the title is, knockout.

Somewhere amongst the 12 is The Voice.

I could very well have the winner on Team Kylie. Watch this space.

I'm really excited about my final three. I've got the best singers.

-The winner!

-The winner, my darling.

-Where's the winner?

-Where do you think?

-I'm the winner cos I get to cuddle Tom.

-Mm!

HE LAUGHS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-So that's it. What a night it's been.

-Next stop, the live shows.

Yeah, we're about to hit the Voice Arena, where the artists will sing

to win your votes and you'll decide who goes on and who goes home.

Thank you to our artists, our musical director David Tench,

our band, and of course, our coaches.

-Will.i.am.

-Kylie.

-Sir Tom Jones.

-And Ricky Wilson.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Next Saturday night...

It's the live quarterfinal.

Are you ready for the lives?

Performing live is the ultimate test, because you only get one shot.

The shows get turned up a notch. Outfits, dance, fireworks...

It's the real deal.

All of the thrills, the spills, will be happening live.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah!

It's the whole freaking shebangle. Bam!

I mean, you can do a whole bunch of stuff when it comes to the lives.

Really freak 'em out, you know what I'm saying?

You want to come out a cake like Grace Jones? Bake it up.

Want some trampolines? Get you jumping.

We can get you that donkey. I can get you that mule on a skateboard.

You want to come out wrapped in a burrito,

singing a burrito Mexican style? How about that? We can do that too.
