Blind Auditions 2 The Voice UK

CHEERING

Welcome to The Voice: The Blind Auditions.

Now, this is the place to be.

Where else could you find

Tom Jones, Ricky Wilson, Kylie Minogue and will.i.am

-in your front row?

-Nowhere that I can think of.

-Nowhere.

-But those four superstars have their backs to this stage.

Now, they're not being rude.

It's just the whole point of the show.

It's all about the sound of the voice.

If our coaches like what they hear,

they'll spin into action.

-Are you all ready?

-CHEERING

First up, please go wild for the wonderful Ricky Wilson.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

# And do you, do you, do you, do you? #

I'm very competitive.

I've been known to stay out of games of charades

just because I hate losing.

I want to win.

CHEERING

Sir Tom Jones.

-CHEERING

-# If I knew what I could do

# To make you, make you love me To make you, make you love me... #

The act has got to pick the perfect coach for them.

And if you're watching, girls and boys,

that's me.

CHEERING

Miss Kylie Minogue.

CHEERING # The way you walk The rhythm when you're dancing

# Every inch of you spells out desire... #

I think I surprised myself how competitive I am.

New series, new coaches,

new winner! SHE MOUTHS

CHEERING

The coolest man in the entire universe,

give it up for Mr will.i.am.

CHEERING # Ba-bang, bang, bang, bang Ba-ba-bang, bang

# Bang

# Shot him with a bang... #

I'm on a mission.

I really want to win.

I want to coach somebody so they win.

Not sneaky this year...

cheeky!

CHEERING

It's time to get started.

19-year-old Gillingham boy Jamie Johnson

is first to try and get those superstars spinning,

as long as that's OK with Mum.

'I am probably the biggest mummy's boy in the world.

'I'm like a big child!'

'He's very loving.'

He is a mummy's boy. He still likes his cuddles.

And we've got a really good relationship with Jamie

and he's a very good brother to Jessica.

My sister is kind of like my roadie.

I've got a little yellow classic mini

and I make my sister just lug everything in the back of it.

I then drive to the gig.

I get her to set up my equipment.

I then play.

LAUGHING: She then takes down my equipment.

And then we drive home

and she takes out my equipment

and I pay her a fiver!

Thank you.

I am really proud of Jamie because he's got so far.

Like, he always gigs, all the time, and now he's got here

so it's really good.

If a coach turned their chair around and said, "I want you",

I'd probably have to think about doubling my sister's wages

to £10!

I'm feeling nervous

but I think it's because it's so surreal.

This is a big opportunity for me just to show what I've got.

I feel so hungry for it.

Oh, I probably should not be looking that way. I forgot!

-TOM:

-You got it.

-Got it!

-Here we go!

-THEY CHEER AND SHOUT

-Oh, my God.

-Keep calm, keep calm.

Oh, look, he's really nervous.

-Yeah.

-He's really nervous.

-I'm nervous.

MUSIC: "So Sick" by Ne-Yo

# Mm-mm-mm

CHEERING # Do-do-do

# Do

# Gotta change my answering machine

# Now that I'm alone

# Cos right now it says that we

-# Can't come to the phone...

-Come on, boy!

# And I know it makes no sense

# You walked out the door

# It's the only way

# I hear your voice anymore

# And I'm so sick of love songs

# So tired of tears

# So done with wishing you were still here

-# Said I'm so sick of love songs...

-Come on, Jamie! Come on!

# So sad and slow

# Why can't I turn off the radio?

# So leave me alone

# And stupid love songs

# Don't make me think about her smile

# Or having my first child

# Letting go

# Turning off the radio

# Cos I'm so sick of love songs

# So tired of tears...

# So done with wishing

-# You are still here...

-Yeah!

# I'm so sick of love songs

# So sad and slow

# Why can't I turn off the radio?

# Why can't I turn off the radio? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, my goodness.

Yeah.

I can't believe it!

-What's your name?

-Hi, my name's Jamie Johnson and I'm 19.

It was hard for me to tell whether it was a girl or a boy up there.

-LAUGHTER

-Which is not a bad thing!

You know, it's great, because...

There's nothing wrong with that,

it's just sometimes it's hard to visualise who...

-or whether it's a boy...

-LAUGHTER

That's fine, thank you!

APPLAUSE

But I wanted...

I wanted to hear as much as possible

-and I did, and I loved it.

-Thank you so much.

CHEERING

Yeah, I agree with Tom about everything.

I don't think you're a bird. Right?! LAUGHTER

If you join my team, we're going to have so much fun.

We're going to... CHEERING

We are going to go on days out.

We'll have matching T-shirts printed!

It's going to be amazing.

We'll borrow Will's hovercraft. We'll go out.

I think you should go with me. Don't go with Tom,

cos he thinks you're a bird.

No, I didn't... I didn't say that!

I can't stop you from wanting to go with Kylie! I know...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Matching T-shirts!

-CHEERING

-No!

-JAMIE:

-That sounds pretty awesome!

Yeah, it was amazing. You sing amazing.

Thank you so much.

I knew you weren't a girl.

LAUGHTER

You could blindfold me, you could lock me up...

-Really?!

-..I know the difference...

-LAUGHTER

No, not like that!

I know the difference between...

Yo, I didn't turn around

so I don't even know why I'm trying to, you know, explain myself.

But I didn't turn around because Kylie Minogue turned around first

and I'm like, "That would be a great little pair, there."

But you and Ricky would be cool, too.

Cos the matching shirt thing, that'd be a cool little...

-LAUGHTER

-That'd be fresh.

But Tom's a legend, though.

CHEERING

Can't argue with that.

So, I didn't even know anyone else had turned around.

I honestly didn't.

-Cos I was focused on you.

-Right.

-Aw-w!

-I have to...

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You've got a beautiful, soulful voice

and you've got some pop tones coming through there,

which is what moved me to spin

and I think we could have a lot of fun together.

CHEERING

Thank you so much.

Who is he going to pick? Who's he going to pick?

Kylie or Ricky, Kylie or Ricky.

CHEERING

-AUDIENCE:

-Kylie! Ricky! Kylie, Kylie, Kylie!

Yeah, I know!

I think, with Kylie,

and you said with the soul and the pop bits

is really what I want to sort of aim for.

Is he a Kylie fan?

Obviously, Ricky, your vocals are crazy

and I watch your music quite a bit

so I know exactly, like, where you could take me with that.

-And Tom, you're a legend so... You know!

-Thank you.

Come on, J, do what you want to do.

Gut feeling.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, I'm going to go with Kylie.

-You are?!

-CHEERING

All right!

-Thank you so much, thank you so much.

-Come to me!

-That was great. I loved it.

-Thank you very much.

-It was amazing.

-So good luck with the competition.

-Thank you very much.

-Best of luck.

-Are you happy?

-Yeah, very. Thank you.

-Good.

-Thank you.

-See you in a bit.

-Well done.

-Thank you so much.

# ...if you don't break my fall

# You got me dreaming of a life

# That anybody else would die for

# Anybody else... #

THEY ALL CHEER

I'm so, so proud.

And he knows, however he'd done,

he knows I would have been proud of him.

Thank you.

-You've done it.

-Yeah.

Oh, this is awkward now!

No, I'm kidding! I'm only winding you up.

APPLAUSE

Nice guy.

Did he say he's 18?

-19.

-19, wow!

RICKY LAUGHS

So Jamie makes it three for Team Kylie

and it hasn't gone unnoticed with the other coaches.

-She's our big problem at the moment, I think.

-Yeah.

She's getting an army together.

She's in front at the moment, I think.

Be afraid of that smile, Tom.

To turn or not to turn, that is the question.

By downloading The Voice app,

you can become a home coach and spin around any time, anywhere.

And it's over to Ireland for tonight's next artist.

-Let's go, let's go.

-'My name is Mairead Conlon.

I'm 31 and I live with my husband, Del.

'We don't have any kids but we have three furry babies.'

Good girl. Aren't they beautiful?!

'So I've got Bella,'

who's a German Shepherd.

You're welcome!

And Willow is a Chihuahua.

-Show Daddy!

-Well, show us!

-Oh, come on, don't be sulking. Show Daddy!

-Willow!

And Dexter's a Pekingese.

You want to take a drinky? Yoo!

Come on back!

'And they're our babies.'

-Night, Del.

-Night, Raidy. THE DOG GROWLS AND BARKS

From a very young age, I've always wanted to be a singer.

There's never been anything else in my life, never been a plan B.

So, family, Dad, how do you feel about Mairead's singing?

She's still trying to make it, after all these years.

If it doesn't happen this time,

she's promised she's going back to college.

My mum and dad were always at me to go to college

but I was never really an academic person.

I just love singing, that's all. That's all I've ever loved.

Maybe we'll make a compromise.

I'll go back at night time and still do singing!

That wasn't the deal.

No, she said if she's not going to make it this time,

she's promised us she's going back.

'I think time is running out for me

'because my dad is always joking, saying,

"Pop stars don't come out on walking sticks."

And, you know, so I have to...

It's kind of now or never.

All joking aside, this is my dream.

And, like, my family have travelled over

and so I need to do them proud.

This is it.

-Come on, Mairead.

-Come on, Raidy!

# I never meant to cause you any sorrow

# And...

# I never meant

# To cause you any pain

# I only wanted one time

# To see you laughing

# I only want to see you laughing

# In the purple rain

# Honey I know

# The times are changing

# Now it's time you reached out...

-Come on, Ricky! Come on!

-# For something new

# That means you too

# You say you want a leader...

-Go on, go!

-Come on, go!

-# But you can't seem

# To make up your mind

# I think you better close it

# Let me take you

# To the purple

# Rai-ai-ai-ain

# Purple rain

# Purple rain

# Purple rain

# Purple rain

# I only want to see you laughing

# In the purple rain. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello. Thank you so much.

My name is Mairead.

I was going to say, "What's your name?"

-My name is Mairead.

-Mairead...

-I'm from Newcastle, County Dublin.

-I'm 31.

-And you're excited!

-Yes.

-I can't believe!

-Yeah.

I was closing my eyes singing and I was like this...

-"Why aren't they turning?!"

-And you're chatty.

-Yeah, that was incredible.

-Really?

I didn't expect to see you when I came round.

LAUGHTER

-You've got an amazing voice.

-Thank you so much, Ricky.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Yeah, it was flawless. It was amazing.

-Thank you.

-You're so good, thank you. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

-LAUGHTER

-Well...

-Will, you didn't think it was mega dope?

-LAUGHTER

-I'm really upset that I didn't turn around, though.

Really? I am too!

-I really appreciate it. Thank you.

-Are you actually breathing?

-No!

-Don't need to breathe.

-Oh, I've...

I've never been so happy in my entire life, ever.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, I'm still trying to recover from that wall of sound.

Where does that come from?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You're tiny!

You're like this little phenomenon...

-Thank you so much! So are you!

-Just... It's huge!

Um...

And then, yeah, we turn around and you're really cute.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well...

-Well!

-That's a big song. That's a big...

-You sang it before, Tom, I saw you on YouTube.

-Oh!

LAUGHTER

I did do it but it's an iconic song.

You know, Prince, that's a big thing to do.

You were hitting some powerful notes and I thought,

-"My God, I just have to push my button."

-Oh, Tom,

thank you for pushing a button! Thank you!

Thanks so much.

It's up to you to pick, now.

THE AUDIENCE SHOUTS NAMES

I don't know what to do.

I'm just so afraid that whoever I pick,

-I'll get knocked out in the battles but...

-No, no.

-What happens if I...?

-We're all afraid!

-You're not the only one afraid.

-Yeah.

-Don't think about... Think about now.

Can any of you promise that you won't knock me out or no?!

LAUGHTER

Too soon? Too soon!

There's no guarantees here!

Do you know, I really just think yous are also talented, really.

CHEERING

AUDIENCE: Kylie, Kylie!

But only my Dad is the cutest person in my whole entire planet

and Tom, you remind me of him when you smile.

So I'm going to go with you.

-CHEERING

-Plus...plus you're mega-talented!

Kylie, thank you.

-Thank you, babe, it was great.

-I'm so happy now.

-That was great.

-Thank you so much.

-I loved it.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-I love you so much! Oh, thank you so, so much.

-You're like my entire universe!

-You were dope.

-Thank you. And Ricky, thank you.

-You're going to have

-such a good time on the show.

-Thank you so much.

Thanks. I'll see you soon. Tom, I need to tell you something,

my wedding anniversary is on your birthday

-and it's also Prince's birthday.

-Yeah, June 7th.

-So we've got a bond.

-Quite right.

-We've got a bond!

-Yes.

-We're bonding already.

-See you soon!

CHEERING

Thank you.

# And you're going to hear me roar

# Ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oar You'll hear me roar!

# Ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oar You're going to hear me roar... #

Yeah, June 7th, she said that's her wedding anniversary.

-APPLAUSE

-And it's my birthday and it's also Prince's birthday -

-June 7th.

-You and Prince have the same birthday?

-Yeah. Not the same year, though!

-You're a Gemini?

-Same!

I think he's a little older than me, Will.

THEY ALL CHEER

-Now, here's the big question, Dad...

-Yeah?

Does she have to get a real job just yet?

Not yet. THEY CHEER

No way!

I'm so happy now.

Sometimes, you have to make compromises to make music,

as 31-year-old Lewis Clay knows only too well.

'I moved back home a couple of years ago,

'when I decided to really go for music full-time.'

-All right, Lewis.

-Cheers, mum.

'But I didn't have a room to come back to

'so I ended up in the front room,

'which I turned into a studio.

'I love my family to death

but there are parts of it that kind of suck.'

You know, it's not great picking up girls!

It's not my usual first line in a chat up situation,

-I'll be honest with you.

-Chat me up!

-Well...

-I'm married. But...

-I'll happily sit and flirt with you.

-Oh, sweet!

It's not like he's going to find out or anything!

-It's not like it's on telly!

-No!

-So do you write your own music?

-I do write my own music.

-Can you write me a song in five minutes?

-Yeah, yeah, easy.

-Yeah.

-Easy?

-Yeah. Why not?

Certainly not bashful, is he?!

Like Lewis,

39-year-old painter and decorator Jimmy Weston

is also used to making compromises.

I'm only doing music to fund my real dream,

painting and decorating!

'I've been painting and decorating for ten years now,

'paying the bills with the paintbrush.'

'At work, I do a lot of glossing, painting ceilings, emulsion,

'rubbing things down.'

That sounds a bit dodgy, doesn't it?

I work hard but, you know, I'm not living for the paintbrush.

I go home, I play my guitar and I get in the zone.

But before Jimmy gets in zone, it's back to you, Lewis.

# Well Emma, if it doesn't work out

# I've got some room at my mum's

# There's some space on the couch

# Emma, if you get in the mood

# I'll send my mum out for the evening

# And I'll cook us some food

# Yeah

# And don't make me go home

# I've got so much to show. #

-There you go, there's your song!

-Yay!

This is my chance. This is what I've been asking for.

I've got it so now I've got to go and take it.

I think one way or the other,

I'm going to know what I'm doing for the rest of my life

by the time this is finished.

# There was a time

# When I was so broken-hearted

CHEERING

# Love wasn't much

# Of a friend of mine

# The tables have turned

# Yeah

# Cos me and them ways have parted

# That kind of love

-# Was the killin' kind...

-#

-Come on!

-Looking happy.

-Punch it!

# I was cryin' just to get you

# Now I'm dyin' cos I let you... #

Go on, Kylie!

# Do what you do - down on me

# I was cryin' just to get you... #

Go on, punch your button!

# Do what you, do what you, down on, baby, baby!

# Baby, baby, baby!

# GA-GA-GA-GA-GO! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, dear.

Hello.

-How you doing?

-I'm OK, how are you?

-I'm OK, what's your name?

Lewis Clay.

-Hiya, mate. How's it going?

-I'm all right, yeah. Pretty gutted.

-I know.

When me and the band started out, we supported everyone.

We only had, like, 25 minutes,

and I was just being a bit too much, and thinking,

"Right, I've got to win them over,

"I want them going tonight thinking we've been the best people here",

and didn't take time to make the audience get on your side.

You've got to bring them in to you, and I just felt you

weren't bringing me in enough.

APPLAUSE OK, Ricky.

I didn't turn because there was a consistent, like, flatness.

Were you aware of it?

Yeah, a little bit, I guess, maybe more nerves than anything.

-Well, that happens to all of us.

-Yeah.

When you notice that you're flat, there's a band back there,

and they're pumping.

And it's OK to give them a signal and tell them, "Ease up."

So it's OK to control, like, "Whoa!",

as if you're riding a horse.

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

HE NEIGHS

You fall off the horse! That ain't a cowboy, right?

APPLAUSE

-Better luck next time, there always is a next time.

-All right, cheers.

CHEERING

I don't have any regrets, I don't have any regrets at all.

I had 90 seconds, I had my shot, and it's gone. That's life, eh?

The way he sounded, it was like, "I'm rock, and all I do is rock,

"and I came here to be with Ricky so I can rock out!"

What I want is that goosebump moment,

I need that moment that makes my heart pound.

-MARVIN:

-So as Lewis says goodbye, it's time for our painter

and decorator Jimmy to take the stage.

15 years ago I had record deals offered to me.

But I was always in a band. I wasn't ready to be on a stage on my own.

But I'm ready for it now.

I'm 39-years-old.

I don't think there's going to be any chances

like this that's going to come my way.

# Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

# You been out ridin' fences for so long now

# Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got... #

I like it.

# These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow... #

- Not perfect, so you could...

I like it.

# Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

CHEERING

Yes!

# ..from the day!

# Losin' all your highs and lows

# Funny how the feeling goes away

# The feeling goes away

# You better let somebody love you

# Yeah, you better let somebody love you

# Before it's too...late. #

CHEERING

Yeah!

CHEERING

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa.

All right, mate?

How you doing? How you doing?

-What's your name?

-My name's Jimmy Weston.

-Where you from?

-I'm from Coventry.

CHEERING

I am so blown away that three of you have turned round.

-I really wasn't expecting that.

-What were you expecting?

I just wasn't expecting it.

I just thought, "It's not going to happen." You know?

Jimmy, that was great.

APPLAUSE

CHEERING

When I started out in the industry,

I didn't really know what I was doing, except that I liked doing it.

And I had to learn as I went along.

But, I would meet people, like I'd meet Tom Jones, or whoever,

and I'd think, "I want to be like them!

"They just know people, they hang out, they say,

'Yeah, I was talking to Ricky Wilson or will.i.am.'"

And I was like, "How do you get to that point?"

And, how you get to that point is

simply by doing it and through experience.

This is an amazing opportunity to get it started.

APPLAUSE

-Hi.

-Hi, Tom.

-Nice to hear you.

Thank you. Looking great, Tom. Looking amazing, mate.

CHEERING

You sounded very honest.

And I liked that you've got a raspiness in your voice,

which is human, you know? It's...

Can I ask a question?

Like, when you say human,

have you heard aliens sing before?

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

I'm going to use that. I'll turn around and be like,

"You know what I like about you? It's kind of like...

"It's kind of like a dolphin, you know what I'm saying?"

LAUGHTER

-You know what I mean, don't you?

-Yes!

-OK.

Yes, we're all human, I understand that.

But... I like...

I like when I hear...

a human coming through.

LAUGHTER

It's a human...

APPLAUSE

Thank you, Tom.

-My pleasure.

-Thank you.

So, this is like a big, big chance.

Yeah, massive, massive.

And big breaks like this, they come in baby steps.

So, it's like a ladder.

And the ladders are different lengths for different people

and it can happen at any time in your life.

And I think you found your ladder today

and I will hold it steady at the bottom.

CHEERING

That was good.

Do you know what? It's funny, cos I'm a painter and decorator

so you COULD hold the ladder.

LAUGHTER

So, now you have to choose.

I felt that there is a person out of the three that turned that

-you could build a real cool relationship with.

-Yeah.

AUDIENCE: Ricky!

DEEP GROWL: Ricky.

Oh, my God. This is tough.

SHOUTING AND CHEERING

Who turned round first? Did anyone notice...? I thought that.

LAUGHTER

OK, I've got to make my decision.

I'm going to go with Kylie.

What?!

Wow.

That's fine.

CHEERING

How did you do that?

I've got a hunch. I've got a hunch.

We are going to do some beautiful stuff together. I'm totally shocked.

Team Kylie, it's now got a new dimension. It's very exciting.

It did surprise me he went for Kylie.

I thought I had it, to be honest.

THEY CHEER

So, what does Kylie have that the other coaches have? Well, this.

I'm never going to wash again! I touched Kylie. Oh, my God. My hand!

And it's not just the acts who are falling under Tinkerbell's spell.

'She seems like somebody you grew up with your whole life.

'Everything seems OK when you're around Kylie.'

-You're rubbing off on me.

-What?

What?

RICKY: She's always made me smile.

She's great.

# Loving you

# Is easy cos you're beautiful. #

Kylie is a very sexy lady.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

If she likes something, she'll go...

She is, like, gorgeous. She has the cutest little nose.

'You just want to snuggle up all the time.

'She's, like, the most adorable person in the world.'

APPLAUSE

Someone who is no stranger to being in the spotlight is our next

hopeful, 21-year-old Kelsey-Beth.

Now, I recognise you.

-Where do I recognise you from?

-I was on a soap called Emmerdale.

I'm known for playing Scarlett Nicholls in Emmerdale,

part of the King family.

-You were on Emmerdale when you were quite young, weren't you?

-Yes.

So, you've kind of grown up in the spotlight

-and that kind of environment.

-Yeah.

-Much like Miss Minogue.

-Is she an inspiration in a way?

-Of course, of course. Completely.

Me and Kylie have in common that we both were from a soap.

She has had a massive career in the music industry since then.

I love to sing and it was my first sort of thing that I got into but

when I got into Emmerdale I had to put it on a back burner a little bit.

I am serious about being a musician and I'm ready.

It's quiet, isn't it?

So quiet.

# Fell in love with a boy

# Fell in love once and almost completely

# He's in love with the world... #

Oh, come on, Ricky!

# Two sides of my brain need to have a meeting

# Can't think of anything to do

# My left brain knows all the love is fleeting

# He's just looking for something new

# I said it once before but it bears repeating

# Don't go telling no more Don't go telling no more

# Don't go telling no more lies on Sarah

# Don't go telling no more lies

# Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

# Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

# Ooh, oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ooh, oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh

# Let me tell you what's on my mind

# Let me tell you what's on my mind

# Ooo-ooo-oo-oo-ooh Cos it bears repeating. #

CHEERING

THEY CHEER AND LAUGH

-Wow.

-Hello.

RICKY: Hello.

-I'm shocked. Thank you.

-What's your name, love?

I'm Kelsey-Beth and I'm 21 and I'm from Blackpool.

-Are you a professional singer, are you?

-I'm an actress.

-An actress.

-I was on Emmerdale for five years.

-Oh, really?

-I'm overwhelmed.

Sorry.

Well, it was... It was really... I mean, it was really something.

-I really enjoyed it.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

RICKY: Hi.

KELSEY-BETH: Hi. - Hi. That was amazing.

KELSEY-BETH: Thank you.

RICKY: Amazing song choice as well and sung amazingly.

I really want you on my team.

There is a really good spot for you and, personally, I think

I would be in the lead if I had you.

KELSEY-BETH: Oh.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That was a very nice lyric.

I'd be in the lead if I had you. That was freaking nice.

LAUGHTER

OK. This is my pitch. So, you were in a soap opera?

I was, yes.

KYLIE: And you're a singer.

CHEERING

RICKY: Can I just ask, where is Emmerdale set again?

KELSEY-BETH: Leeds.

Oh, Leeds, yeah. Yeah, Leeds. I know it well, yeah.

KYLIE: Ricky! RICKY: What?

I'm just pointing out the obvious connection.

You can't fight with what's going to happen.

LAUGHTER

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

But, Kylie, the thing is...

CHEERING

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wrestle you!

But the thing is I really want to fight.

I'm ready to fight.

No, not with you!

LAUGHTER

I want to fight for her cos... KYLIE: Me too.

I know you do, too, Kylie, and I know you could do a lot.

I get it. I hear you. But...

Yes, Ricky's very charming and very talented.

That's true.

LAUGHTER

But don't let that sway you.

Can I add some things? You could learn a lot from both of them.

It's just that one's experienced exactly what you've been through.

I know you. I know.

KYLIE: I know, I know, I know.

I... I know. I understand and that's the thing - I'm completely torn.

Because, on one side of things, I mean,

you're like an inspiration to me and everything.

And at the same time, his pitch was so good.

And I'm like...

RICKY: I've never been an actor so I can't lie to you about this.

I really want this to happen. I need this.

CHANTING: Kylie! Kylie!

Do you think she'll go Kylie?

CHANTING: Kylie! Kylie! Kylie!

I...

I... I've fallen for it.

CHEERING

I've got to hand it to you. That was well-pitched.

See you later.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you very much. KYLIE: Yeah, well done.

THEY CHEER

So, Kelsey-Beth was probably an obvious choice to go with me

but Ricky put up a brilliant fight.

RICKY: That was so much fun. I really enjoyed it.

His pitch was so passionate. She was seduced.

So, Ricky's heartfelt pitch pays off and Kelsey-Beth joins his team.

But Will is yet to hit his button.

Does he just instinctively know something

that the rest of us don't know?

'You might think I'm slacking but I'm just kicking back'

and waiting for somebody to come and just come out with spectaculars.

I think Will will wait until something hits him hard that he

can't help himself but push that button.

Hoping he's got what it takes to get those chairs spinning is tonight's

next act, 55-year-old family man Bob Blakely from Stockport.

My house can be a bit of a madhouse when we all get together.

There's just that many people in the back garden.

THEY CHEER

Bob loves his family and his friends.

He'll help anybody and do anything for anybody.

I couldn't do without them. They're fabulous.

He's at his happiest when he's singing.

# Grandad loves them all. #

Basically, I work in a massive chilled warehouse.

HE WHISTLES

I love my job. The people, they really are good guys.

All right, Bob?

Oh, Bob, yeah, he's sound. Do anything for you. Hard worker.

One of the best we got here, to be honest.

I sing all the time at work. They called me Bob FM.

Like a walking human radio.

'I'm 55.

'This doesn't happen to people of my age, or I never thought it would.

'I don't know what will happen in the future

'but I'm relishing being here now.'

-Come on, Bob, you'll be fine.

-Come on.

-Relax.

# Now you say you're lonely... #

Come on, Dad.

# You cried the whole night through

# Well, you can cry me a river... #

Come on!

# Cry me a river

# I cried a river over you

# Now you say, you say you love me

# Well, just to prove that you do

# Come on and cry me a river

# Cry me a river

# I cried a river over you... #

Someone press!

# I cried a river

# Over you... #

Come on!

# Cry me a river! #

CHEERING

AUDIENCE: Oh!

KYLIE: Hi.

-Hello, everybody.

-Hi.

-How are you doing? All right?

Wow.

What's your name, mate?

Bob Blakely. I'm 55 and I'm from Stockport.

CHEERING

And how long have you been singing?

I started in 2007.

Wow. KYLIE: What?!

I was a taxi driver for 30 years.

Earlier on, I was bringing the children up and families

and things like that so that took the time so... But...

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

..I decided to have a go.

Just to say...

-But you are a professional singer now, though, right?

-No, no.

I'm a warehouse operative.

-What?

-Well, you should be.

You should be a professional singer. You know, that's...

-That's how good you are.

-Thank you.

CHEERING

-I mean, it was amazing. Wasn't it, guys? Yeah?

-Yes.

CHEERING

The four of us didn't turn around but I think you just made

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

Thank you.

Yay!

Sir Tom, we did meet back in the '80s when I was a taxi driver.

But it was only a hello. I only said hello.

-Was I in the cab?

-No, sir, you were stood in reception at a hotel.

-We said hello and that was it.

-I see.

And you've been my idol since I was in my teens

-so it's a great pleasure to sing for you.

-Thank you.

I'm trying to put my heart back together

cos I think you deserve to be on the show.

-More than just...

-That's very kind of you to say so. Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-Your voice was just pristine.

You know, it was like a glove between what the band was doing

and what you were doing. You sound like a pro.

CHEERING

The band are absolutely phenomenal. Thank you.

If Frank Sinatra was here, he'd be like, "Wow.

-"I want to take you on tour with me."

-Thank you.

This very kind of you to say so.

You have a pure voice. You have a really, really strong, pure voice.

And I would liked to have heard more of it with a simpler arrangement.

OK, sir.

That's the only criticism that I have but your singing is flawless.

It's a beautiful voice with a beautiful tone.

Thank you.

-Thank you, Sir Tom.

-That's what...

-That means a lot.

That's what you were meant to do.

You were born with that voice and you were meant to sing

so you should be singing all over the place. Because you're great.

-Honestly.

-Thank you, Sir Tom. Thank you.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

RICKY: Cheers, mate.

It was good listening to your voice.

Thank you. Thank you.

-I can't compete with that.

-Yes, you can, go on.

-That was great.

No, really. You're a hell of a singer.

-Thank you. Thank you, Sir Tom.

-All the best.

CHEERING

THEY CHEER

He'd got a great voice and it was almost there. Almost.

You were absolutely sensational. I couldn't believe what came out.

-I just had... I obviously had no idea.

-Thank you. Thank you.

It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your comment.

The whole experience has been off the scale and amazing. It's been amazing.

Really amazing.

This show is about people like Bob.

He shouldn't have gone home. Sorry.

-He can sing, that fella.

-It does make you sad.

-It's a shame.

There's so many undiscovered people.

I mean, I know he had to make a living.

You have to do that in the best you can but it's a shame

when it takes you out of what you, you know, what you love to do.

-That sounded really experienced.

-It did. I swear to God,

it sounded like I was listening to a James Bond soundtrack.

Oh, sure.

He walked off the stage still smiling, like, "Thanks, guys." Yeah.

That's the kind of energy you need for anything you want to

do in life, whether you're baking a cake,

you think it's going to come out fluffy and it's all

flat like a pancake - whoever made a pancake was trying to bake a cake.

And now we've got pancakes. See? Look at how that works.

Our next artist is hoping he has what it takes to turn those chairs.

My name is Miles Anthony. I'm 21 and I'm from East London.

'I auditioned last year and got to the audition and couldn't walk in'

because I had to go back because my niece had a seizure.

My niece is six. Her name is Eva and she was a perfectly normal child.

She got to two-and-a-half and then we found out that she had

something called Batten's disease. My niece cannot talk, she can't walk.

Her life expectancy is between age of 8-12 years. She can laugh.

She definitely can laugh. But she can't really move her body

in any way now.

'It has been very, very tough,'

especially not having my dad in the household.

It kind of does fall onto me as the only male to

be as strong as possible as I can be for my mum and my sister.

'Having music has definitely helped me

'through every single hard time in my life.

'So I feel like this is my time to really shine

'and do what I need to do to.'

-He's nervous.

-Oh, he looks nervous.

-Miles is all right.

-Oh, my baby!

# I

# I who have nothing

# Oh, I

# I who have no-one

# Adore you

# And want you so

# I'm just a no-one...

Come on, come on.

# With nothing to give you, but, oh!

# I love you

# But he can take you any place you want

# To fancy clubs and restaurants...

Push a button. Push a button.

# .. watch you with my nose pressed up against

# The window pane...

Go on, Rickey!

# I

# I who have nothing

# Must watch you...

-That's it, come on.

-Oh, my gosh!

# ..by

# Wrapped in the arms of somebody else but, darling, it's I... #

CHEERING

-Oh, please.

-My heart is beating right out of my chest.

# I love you. #

CHEERING

Oh!

Why didn't he do the falsetto?

CHEERING

# Maybe I had said

# Something that was wrong

# Can I make it better

# With the lights turned on? #

Hello.

Oh, no!

-What's up? What's your name?

-My name's Miles Anthony.

-How old are you?

-I just turned 21.

-Whose idea was it for that drop?

-It was mine.

OK, I could tell.

-You make beats? You do?

-Yeah.

-I can tell.

LAUGHTER

So it seems as if you came to produce and not to sing.

You sing great but I think you're...

The whole... Your mind was in too many places.

The groove was great, it had the triplets and...

And it stopped and the stop means I'm about to kill it right now,

check me out now. Take my breath...

but it didn't happen.

Do you know, I respect that what you said

but I just take full responsibility for what happened on the stage.

I produced that a little while ago

and I missed that, I missed the drop.

That was me and that was me as a performer not doing

what I set out to do so that's me and I take full responsibility for that.

CHEERING

Wow!

And I missed my note!

Hi. That's so moving.

Can I come up there?

Would that...? I need to, I need to.

CHEERING

Don't, don't beat yourself up.

I just missed it.

I shouldn't have done that.

Don't worry about that.

AUDIENCE: Ah!

- I messed up. - We all mess up sometimes.

I mess up all the time.

I think we all messed up because we didn't turn around for you.

Don't beat yourself up, please, please, please.

Thank you.

-Oh, no!

-Oh.

CHEERING

RICKY: Hi, mate.

Hello.

I'm new here.

Yeah, yeah.

But, in my eyes, what happened then, you sang, it was amazing,

I nearly pressed. I didn't. I messed up. So...

CHEERING

Sir Tom. I'm sorry, I sang your song and I was real nervous about it.

I know from experience it's not an easy song to sing.

I know it.

And you sang the hell out of it.

I will give you that.

CHEERING

-And it is a very emotional song.

-Yes.

And that's a thing you have to be careful of.

If emotions get the better of you, it can tighten you up.

I know it, I know it.

Yeah, I got a bit emotional because I'm...

Don't cry.

APPLAUSE

Let me say that be proud of what you did, be proud of it

because he did a hell of a job, honestly, so don't worry

about that, don't think that you failed in that respect, you did not.

You showed that you can sing and you will be a star,

you will be, you have everything that is needed to do it.

APPLAUSE

Just for you to know, I made a mistake, I should have turned.

I should have hit the button.

I should have done and that's my fault, not yours.

So nice of him, so nice of him.

CHEERING

HIS FAMILY CHEERS

# If your heart tells you to

# Then who are you to question it?

# Shine

# If the world gets you down

# Don't be afraid to wrestle it. #

We're here to give people shots,

a chance of their lives.

I could have given him that...

and I didn't and I don't feel good about that.

You are a wonderful, wonderful man.

Can I meet Marvin before I go?

Oh! It's like that, is it?

I cry with you!

I hug you!

I love you and you want Marvin!

I feel emotionally pummelled.

I know, it's hard because obviously, you know, we've been there.

I mean, I've had my heart broken a bunch of times

trying to chase my dreams.

It's horrible.

And if you really want it, there's nothing going to stop you.

-TOM:

-Yeah, he was good, that kid.

Hoping to give a performance that will go down in history

is 17-year-old Sophie May Williams from Wakefield.

-Loving the whole style.

-Thank you.

-It's like it's very vintage.

-Yeah.

I love vintage, it's just amazing.

It's not usual for a 17-year-old girl to grow up with that style,

where did that influence come from?

I think it was my grandad, really.

Obviously my era of music was jazz songs

and Sophie took to these old things like...

It's unbelievable the things she likes even today.

Do you know her favourite film?

It's Breakfast At Tiffany's. Do you know that film?

It's older than your father.

# Yes, it's a good day

# For singing a song.

I bought her her busking equipment.

I never, ever believed she'd be able

stand up in front of people and sing.

The first time I said I can't do it and I bottled out

and I went home and she was like, "Sophie, you've got to do this!"

She kept dragging me back each time.

The first time she went busking she was there for an hour.

In an hour she got about £78.

The song that I am singing today is a song I do on my busking set.

I do, like, get a lot of good feedback about it

and people seem to like it so it's a good job

that I'm singing it really, isn't it?

Otherwise I'm stuffed!

Oh, Sophie, Sophie! Come on!

# Lying in my bed

# I hear the clock tick

# I think of you

# Caught up in circles

# Confusion is nothing new

# Flashback to warm nights

# Almost left behind

# The second-hand unwinds

# If you're lost you can look and you will find me

# Time after time

# If you fall, I will catch you

# I'll be waiting

# Time after time...

Push the button!

# If you fall, I will catch you

# I will be waiting

# Time after time...

Push the button! Come on! Come on!

# Time after time

# Time after time

# Time after... #

-Go!

-Push the button! Push it!

# Time. #

APPLAUSE

Oh, my God.

-Hi.

-Sneaky.

-What's your name?

-Hi, I'm Sophie.

Hi, Sophie, where you from?

From Wakefield.

CHEERING Yeah!

-And how old are you?

-I'm 17.

APPLAUSE

That's good. Is that your normal, like, do you always dress up?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People think I'm just a weirdo, walking round,

just walk round in whatever I want.

-SHE GIGGLES

-That's great.

That's the most attractive kind of weirdo, though.

That's not weird. That's beautiful.

Thank you.

-What kind of stuff do you like?

-Jazz.

-Just jazz, jazz, jazz.

-Yeah, me too, I love that.

-What type of jazz do you like?

-I like classic stuff.

-Oh, my God!

Yeah.

So, when I was 17 years old, I used to go to thrift stores and buy

second-hand clothes and dress like an old man, cos that was my style.

-I was like...

-That's me.

All the kids were like, "Why do you like old people's music?"

But I was like, "Because I got this sampler and I sample it

"and make beats over jazz music."

And it was like, it gave me,

like, individuality to have a whole spectrum of music

that young 17-year-olds weren't listening to,

so like, we would have been hanging out if we were both the same age.

-You're going to be hanging out!

-Yeah!

We will be!

-So you like jazz?

-Mm-hm.

I had the feeling you were not just a pop singer, you know.

-I shouldn't say not JUST a pop singer.

-Please, please, Tom!

-You know, the...

-Manners!

It felt like there's more to you than that song.

-Yeah.

-You have a beautiful voice.

-Thank you.

And I'm glad that Will turned for you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hiya. Hiya.

It was fantastic and I was going to go into a big spiel about how

I wish I'd turned but after everything that you're talking

to each other about, I'm like,

"That pitch would have gone embarrassingly wrong for me."

Because he would've been like, "We're the same.

"We like the same music, clothes,"

and I would've been like, "We're from the same place."

And then he would've won and I would've felt bad,

but now I feel great because you're on the show and...

Thank you.

-So happy that you're on my team.

-Thank you. Oh, my God.

I don't even know what to say!

-Wow, you're so fresh.

-Hiya.

-I love that dress.

You're so cute!

You're a darling. Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye-bye, love.

Yeah!

The sneak struck.

He doesn't give anything away, we're all looking like,

"What are you doing, what's going to happen?" No.

He didn't give anything away.

He calls me Tricky Ricky but that's to hold a mirror up against himself.

I think he's the tricky one.

He's been down this rodeo before, but that was a good move on his part.

I like what he does because it's different than what we do.

It makes it very interesting.

I don't know what they're hearing and not hearing.

Here, Sophie, she has all the makings of a superstar.

And then no-one turned.

I'm like, "I really don't know what you guys are hearing."

Next up is Jermain Jackman from east London.

Growing up in Hackney, London,

weren't that open to many opportunities.

A borough that people say is full of gangs, you'll see a lot of crime.

I know people who have been stabbed and killed

because they live in the wrong area.

And that really left me with something saying,

"This needs to change."

I'm very passionate about two things, that's music and politics.

SONG: "Things Can Only Get Better"

There are many wrong stereotypes about young people,

from every generation, we think about these inner-city children,

"They're nothing but hoodlums" and things like that.

There's a barrier that stops you from progressing

and those are the barriers that I want to break down.

Being active in politics,

representing young people in politics and making sure that

-their voice is heard, is something I'm also passionate about.

-That's amazing.

-Thank you.

Mmm. By smelling it, you can tell how sweet it is.

'My mum is a huge role model for me and my family.

'She's raised five children.'

She single-handedly did it and I'm so proud of her for that.

Thank you.

He's always there to help me. It's a pleasure to have Jermain as a son.

My mum taught me that when an opportunity is there,

like The Voice, make sure you take it.

Stepping onto that stage, I want to prove that, growing up

from Hackney, I have a talent.

Other people have talents.

And we can actually achieve great things.

Here we go. He looks lovely, doesn't he?

-He does.

-He looks lovely, thought!

-Look at his face.

# And I am telling you... #

Come on!

# I'm not going

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

# There's no way I can ever go

# No, no, there's no way

# No, no, no, no way

# I'm living without you

# I'm not living without you

# I don't want to be free

# I'm staying, I'm staying

# And you, when you

# You're gonna love me... #

CHEERING

Yeah, the look on his face! Come on! Come on, Will!

# Tear down the mountains Yell, scream and shout

# You can say what you want, I'm not walking out

# Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill

# I'm not going to leave you There's no way

# I will... #

Look at her face. Press it, Kylie!

# I'm not going

# I'm not living without you

# I don't want to be free

# I'm staying

# I'm staying

# And you, and you

# And you

# Love me. #

CHEERING

Yes!

Yes!

Hello, coaches.

What's your name?

My name is Jermain Jackman.

CHEERING

-And where are you from, Jermain?

-I'm from Hackney, east London.

CHEERING

-And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

-I'm 18 years old.

-18.

-And do you sing a lot?

-Yeah, I sing a lot.

I sing in church, I sing in venues, I sing for charities.

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

Oh.

-In politics as well?

-Yes.

-I'm the youth coordinator for Hackney in the Labour Party.

-Oh.

CHEERING

Yes! That's what I'm talking about!

So you're a singing politician, then?

There's a headline that said I'll be the first singing,

black Prime Minister.

There you go.

All right, mate? How you doing, Ricky, all right?

I'm really good, thanks. Good, good, good.

I'm better for hearing that. It was incredible.

I know that a lot of people are going to be kicking me

after the show for not spinning round.

I know Will was kind of, like, egging me on to turn.

My heart was going and I was just in the moment,

I didn't hit the button, and then Will went.

Now he's got you, so he's happy. Brilliant.
