Blind Auditions 3 The Voice UK

This corridor leads to these stairs.

And these stairs lead to this stage.

CHEERING

And the stage is well and truly set.

For someone to take their first step.

Towards becoming The Voice UK.

-Shall we?

-Let's do it!

This is like a game of poker, you know,

we all try to read one another.

You broke your poker face.

I think each coach wants to get the best team.

Will knows what he's doing.

I mean, that's why we're here.

You're on a roll, Ricky.

I'm very competitive cos I can't stand losing.

He'd be great for you if he could stay off his phone for five minutes.

I predict a riot.

So, this is going to be absolute hell!

Unless I win.

# I like a little competition from time to time... #

Get out of the way!

I do feel competitive. The red chair really brings it out of you.

Sit in that chair!

Control yourself. Just keep it together.

She's a ball of fire, that one.

If there was no competition, it would be pretty boring.

Is Will still fighting?

Peow! Damn right I'm fighting.

I hate to be Usain Bolt, he just wins everybody.

Reverse psychology, yeah, I got it.

Usain Bolt and the cheetah...now, that's comp.

Yeah!

-Right.

-We got to get to work.

First up tonight is 20-year-old Andy Otley from North Wales.

-Oooh, oh!

-I'm Andy.

-How lovely.

That's the first gentleman that's stood up and kissed me.

-Well, there you go.

-What a charmer you are.

-Thank you.

Look at those eyes.

I can't look at you.

The reason I learned the guitar is

because I thought if I could play "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias

on the guitar, I might be able to get a girlfriend from it.

Erm, but that didn't really work out.

My day job's an estate agent.

I work in a small office, erm, with five women.

He's very nice to work with, he's got a nice manner about him.

-Thanks, Andy.

-It's all right.

That's a good job for me, I'll enjoy that.

He is a gentleman.

# I can be your hero, baby... #

Do you like being around the chicks?

-Erm, yeah?

-Yeah, he does.

-Is he a bit of ladies' man?

-He is.

He asks me for advice every now and again.

LAUGHTER

Bless him, he's only young, ain't he? So...

How to charm a lady.

When I walk out onto the stage, it's sort of all eyes on me.

Everybody's thinking, "Is he good? Isn't he good?"

Tonight, I'm going to try and use all my sales tactics

and sell myself to the coaches.

Hopefully I can just show that I've got something.

-Oh, it's so quiet.

-My nerves are going now.

-That's the scary bit.

# My name is Andy, nice to meet you

# Can I tell you, baby

# Look around, there's a whole lot of pretty ladies

# But none like you, you shine so bright

# Oooh, yeah

# And I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute

# On the floor up and close getting lost in it

# I won't give up without a fight

# Cos I just want you

# Oooh, baby

# I just want you to dance with me tonight

# So, come on

# Oooh, yeah, baby

# I just want you to dance with me tonight... #

Go on, Ricky, push the button!

CHEERING

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# I just want you to dance with me tonight

# One more time, one more time, come on now

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sing with me!

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# I just want you to dance with me tonight

# So come on, oooh

# Oh, yeah, baby

# I just want you to dance with me tonight... #

Give him a push!

# Oh, yeah, baby

# I just want you to dance with me tonight

# Yeah, yeah! #

CHEERING

CHEERING

-All right, mate. Hello!

-Hello, how are you doing?

-Yeah, all right.

What's your name?

-My name's Andy, Andy Otley.

-Where you from?

-I'm from North Wales.

CHEERING

And how old are you?

-How old are you?

-I'm 20.

-What do you do for a living?

-Do you go to college or anything?

-No, I'm an estate agent.

Estate agent!

LAUGHTER

You've got a great voice and the audience certainly loved it.

CHEERING

Thank you.

Erm, I just think it didn't happen today but that doesn't mean,

you know, it can't happen tomorrow.

Just learn from it and keep singing and stop being an estate agent.

Ha-ha, thanks, cheers.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Is there any reason, in particular, that you picked that song?

Erm, no, I just like it. I like the song.

It's a good song.

So, you have a very great version of a song that was dear to you.

I wasn't dear to us.

The reason why we didn't turn around because to me,

I prefer the original version.

For example, you're driving a car. You're hitting a possum.

LAUGHTER

Did you kill it?

Cos right now, I got out the car and it's moving around still.

-LAUGHTER

-"Put me out of my misery."

You didn't kill it, kill it!

APPLAUSE

I hope my metaphor didn't confuse you. I'm sorry.

-No, I sort of got that.

-You got it, right.

-Sort of.

-Hiya.

-Hello.

Erm, it sounded a little bit safe to me.

Like, If you wanted to sell me a house and someone else came,

another agent came to sell me the house, they might have come, like...

Like you...you would have been like, "You have no option.

"You have to buy this house.

"I'm going to sell it to you whether you want it or not.

-"You're going to buy the house."

-OK, sell her a house right now.

Two-bedroom, me against you.

-OK.

-Go!

-OK, it's in an apartment building, right.

-Right.

-And it's really nice.

It's got like, really modern kitchen diner, erm, nice bedroom space

and I live next door...

OK.

LAUGHTER

Good one, Andy!

-Is it my turn?

-Go for it.

OK, what you selling?

There's this two-bedroom house, you've got to check it out.

I mean, let me tell you something, this house is so freaking gorge...

LAUGHTER

-I'm sorry, it's gorgeous.

-I need to know about my neighbours, though.

LAUGHTER

Sorry, I just said "neighbours".

I didn't realise that.

-Anyway...

-That's good, that was good.

Bruno Mars is going to buy the one right next to you

and Alicia Keys is probably going to buy the one right across the street.

They haven't done the deal yet...

I've heard about them, they make so much noise, seriously!

So much noise!

-Pitch it!

-See, you've got to perform like the way you sold it.

-Yeah.

I just think you need a bit more mmmmm! A bit more passion.

A bit more oomph, OK.

So, what's the property market like in North Wales now?

It's good, it's good. Yeah, it's picking up.

-It's good.

-Cos I was thinking of maybe buying something up there.

CHEERING

-I could sell you one, if you'd like.

-Yeah?

He knows a great two-bedroom apartment.

Please don't tell him that you're his neighbour.

Oh, no, no, it's Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys.

LAUGHTER

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Oh, isn't he lovely?

Thank you.

CHEERING

-That was an almosty!

-Yeah, almost.

-Let's see what's coming up next.

-Yeah.

Going to be a great show!

I can't wait to see who YOU turn for.

Are you going to agree with me?

To turn or not to turn? That is the question.

-Would you turn?

-Download The Voice app now and you can be a home coach.

You can also rate the performances, see what all the other home coaches

think and earn stars if the coaches agree with your decisions.

# This is The Voice! #

Our next act is hoping she can say, "Goodbye popcorn, hello pop career!"

My name's Iesher Haughton. I'm 19, I'm from Walthamstow, wooo!

And I work in a cinema.

I rip the tickets for the customer to come and enjoy their film.

I serve the popcorn and the drinks

and I clean up the popcorn and drinks.

It's not glamorous but it's my job.

My family are very supportive.

It was me that, erm, encouraged Iesher to apply for the show.

They all said to me if I didn't sign up, that they

were going to sign me up anyway.

She's naturally shy. She looks unassuming.

She doesn't look like this boisterous type of character.

The joy of singing helps her to be comfortable in herself.

She's my little Beyonce.

I'm here to prove to myself that I can actually do this.

I am nervous but I'm going to be strong.

# When I

# Had you

# I treated you bad

# And wrong, my dear

# Now since

# Since you've been gone

# But don't you know I sit around

# With my head hanging down

# And I wonder

# Who's lovin' you?

# Said I, I, I, I-whoa-oh-oh-oh

# Said I-I... #

Go on, Tom!

# Should have never, ever

# Ever made you cry... #

Come on, Kylie.

# But now, since... #

-Yes!

-Yeah!

# Since you've been gone

# Don't you know I sit around

# With my head hanging down

# And I wonder

# Whooooo's

# Lo-oooo-ovin'

# Yoooou-ah-oh-oh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

DELIGHTED LAUGHTER

-First of all, what's your name?

-Iesher Haughton.

-Iesher?

-Yeah.

-That's a lovely name.

SHE GIGGLES

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

-19.

-19.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-That sounded great.

-Thank you.

-That really did.

-I loved your phrasing, I loved the whole...

-Thank you.

So, you know, I'd love to have you on my team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Iesher.

-Hello.

It was so good, you're just at the start of something incredible.

I'd like you on my team, purely because I want to win this

and I think you probably will win this.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You are the cutest voice, you sound like you can do anything.

I'm loving your little Whitney Houston vibe here,

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

so if you wanna dance with me, then come on Team Kylie.

-Erm...

-I have a cousin named Iesher.

LAUGHTER

So have I!

We're going to call her on the phone right now.

That's a bit old-fashioned for you, calling on the phone.

Let's beam to her right now!

She doesn't sing like you, though. She doesn't sing the way you sing.

That first note, I didn't waste no time.

I was, like, pla-dow!

So I would like to have you on my team to give you, you know,

my perspective and go through this journey together and hope...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And I think, you know...

-that'd be dope.

-Dope! I was waiting for you to say that word!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Dope!

Wow. Erm, I'm really shocked that everyone's turned around,

-I wasn't expecting this.

-You shouldn't be.

-But...

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

AUDIENCE: Will, Will, Will!

Everyone's chanting "Will", and I think that's a really great thing

but if you do go with him, just don't let him change you too much

because you really don't need changing.

I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't change anything.

All I would do is put a mirror right in front of your face

so you have more confidence, but I wouldn't change...

Not your style, I wouldn't even have nobody style you,

-you're freaking fabulous.

-KYLIE: Yeah.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE INTENSIFIES

The coach that I'm going to go with is...

..Will.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-# We ignite the sky

-Come on and get it

-# A billion lights tonight

-Come on and get it

-# Flashing in your eyes

-Come on and get it... #

-You're amazing.

-Thank you!

-ALL:

-Iesher! Iesher!

-ALL:

-Iesher! Iesher!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's a good match.

You guys are going to be great together.

-ALL:

-Iesher! Iesher!

I swear to God, I have a cousin named Iesher.

So Iesher is like family. There's certain names, like Deborah.

Like, that's my mom's name. My dad's name's Casper.

Cos he's a ghost.

I don't know him.

-"DARTH VADER" VOICE:

-Still to come on The Voice.

Ricky gets Will going.

Will is absolutely seething.

I just beamed him a thought, and he received it.

MARVIN: Two acts reveal their famous relatives.

My brother is...

My cousin is...

And it's time to make a big decision.

Choose wisely.

I've always been judged, really, cos of the way I look.

Just because it's a certain look it doesn't mean

that that's the way the character is.

But I always like that sort of element of surprise.

My name is Paul Black and I'm a tattoo artist.

Some people ask me, "How many tattoos have you got?"

and I just say one now because I've only got my back to go,

and then I'll be done.

You can't look at a rock band these days without seeing any tattoos

so music and tattooing go pretty much hand-in-hand together.

I am big into my rock music -

Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, something like that.

Nice, good rock stuff, you know.

-IN BIG BAND STYLE:

-# I get up

# Nothing ever gets me down

# You've got it tough

# I've seen the toughest around... #

Kylie knows the song.

She's lovin' it. Come on, Kylie, push the button! Come on.

# ...just how you feel

# You got to ro-o-oll with the punches

# Get to what's real

# Oh, can't you see me standing here

# I got my back against the record machine

# I ain't the worst that you've seen... #

-Come on, Tom!

-Come on, Tom!

# Jump! # That's your part! Come on!

# Oh, go ahead and jump - Jump!

Come on, y'all!

# Oh, get it, get it - jump! Jump!

Help me out, boys. One more time. # Oh, go ahead and jump - jump!

# Oh, can't you see me standing here

# I got my back against the record machine

# Ah...

# I ain't the worst that you've seen... #

-Oh, now, come on.

-Come on, guys. Come on.

# Oh, can't you see what I me-e-ean

# You might as well jump

# Jump!

# Oh, go ahea-a-ad

# Jump! Hey! #

Aw....!

-Wow!

-Hi, there! How are you doing?

What's your name?

-US ACCENT:

-I'm Paul Black. I'm from Hoboken, New Jersey, where Frank Sinatra's from.

But I didn't like it, so I moved...

-WELSH ACCENT:

-..all the way to Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales.

LAUGHTER, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

-Really from New Jersey?

-Pardon?

-You're really from New Jersey?

No, I'm from Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales.

-EVERYONE LAUGHS

-It was the Hoboken thing, Sinatra...

-TOM:

-It's a Welsh joke. Welsh humour.

Welsh humour, yeah.

If you'd kept it up, one would believe it.

I got you that time, right?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Is this what you do, then?

Yes, pretty much. I'm a tattoo artist by day

-and by night I'm a swing-singing superhero,

-LAUGHTER

going through the houses and villages of Wales

spreading joy and fear.

-RICKY: And tattoos.

-Yeah.

-Dad, where have you been all these years?

-What?!

Mum said it was the only way I'd get to see you.

And you didn't turn round!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

-I didn't expect you to look the way you do, with the tattoos.

-Nobody does.

I loved it. Vocally, it was spot on. It just wasn't for me.

-So, keep going.

-Thank you, Ricky.

I like the bravery of taking a song we all know one way

and you just totally, like, transformed it.

-Sure.

-Like Optimus Prime.

-PAUL CHUCKLES

-Yeah.

Optimus Prime was the good Transformer.

PAUL MAKES WHIRRING NOISES

But the reason why I didn't turn was I just couldn't picture us...

sitting down trying to figure out another song to transform.

But, you know, like, you let me know where you're gigging,

because I would love to go see you gig like that.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I suppose we'll have to come to Merthyr to see you, then.

Yeah, or get me a season in Vegas, or something like that.

If you change your minds, you know. You know where I am.

I'll give you my number.

-Keep swinging.

-Keep swinging!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Amazing!

-Thank you very much. Cheers, thank you.

KYLIE: Merthyr Tydfil. Merthyr Tydfil.

Nice one, thank you.

-Merthyr Tydfil! How you doing?

-Thank you, Tom.

-Great to see you.

-You, too.

-Well done, mate.

-Cheers, man.

All the best.

WILD CHEERING

# Yeah, for once in my life I've found someone

# For once in my life... #

-TOM:

-I think Sinatra would have appreciated the way he sings.

He would have encouraged him.

Frank Sinatra gave me some advice,

which I still think about and cherish,

he said, "Look, be careful. Don't push too much.

"You only have one voice."

So, Frank Sinatra was a great teacher in that respect.

For 27-year-old Georgia, and 29-year-old Vicky,

music is more than a passion,

it is in their DNA.

Adele is my cousin. The famous Adele.

My brother is Danny from the band McFly.

# One, two, three, four!

My brother and I are extremely close.

We've got the same sense of humour.

We're both stupid!

To everyone else he's Danny from McFly,

but to me he's my brother I used to beat him up

when we were six years old.

That's always going to be Danny to me.

He's incredibly talented.

I'm really proud of him, yeah.

But, today is about me.

# It's all about you

# It's about you

# It's all about you, baby #

Finally!

-Danny is obviously not here today.

-No.

-Was that a conscious thing?

I didn't ask him.

# Never mind, I'll find someone like you... #

Everybody sings in our family.

Everybody plays something or sings something.

And my cousin Adele does inspire me,

and I am a massive, massive fan of her music.

I would love to be as good as her. I want to be a diva.

But first, it's all about Vicky.

People might think I don't deserve a place on this show

because of who my brother is.

What I'd like people to know is that I need this opportunity,

just as much as anybody else does.

Believe me. I've been trying for ten years.

MUSIC STARTS

# With an ironclad fist

# I wake up, French kiss the morning... #

-Go on, Vicky.

-Come on, girl.

# ..while we're talking

# About all of the things that I long to believe

# About love, the truth

# What you mean to me

# And the truth is... #

-Come on, Kylie!

-Push it!

# I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

# For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

# I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

# And lay you do-o-own

# On a bed of roses. #

Thank you!

Oh, my God. Hi! Hi!

KYLIE: Hi!

Who are you?

My name's Vicky, and I'm from Bolton.

CHEERING

Vicky from Bolton!

-Oh, I am so nervous.

-I don't blame you.

I would be a bag of nerves up there,

but you didn't sound nervous one...little...bit.

Thank you. Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

-How did that feel?

Amazing, actually. Yeah. Amazing.

Maybe nervous really before,

nervous afterwards, but...

totally nailed it.

Thank you.

Yeah. At the beginning I couldn't hear enough of you.

Because the band was full-on,

but then as it went on

you got stronger, then I got from you,

I feel what you were doing.

And I loved that.

APPLAUSE

And that's why I turned around.

Because I'd love to have you on my team,

because I think you're a great singer,

and I think we could work great together.

Thanks, Tom. Thank you.

You've got such a tough choice.

AUDIENCE: Tom! Tom!

I often find myself going "Tom! Tom! Tom!"

Yeah, I noticed that.

-It's not normally in front of so many people.

-No, of course.

EVERYONE LAUGHS

-I like that.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh, well.

Then, I guess,

I'm absolutely overwhelmed

that you have both turned around.

-Thank you, Tom. I'll go on your team.

-Great!

Thank you.

-Thank you!

-You're going to be great.

Thank you, Kylie.

It was the right choice.

# ..five colours in her hair

# She's just a loner with a sexy attitude... #

-Hiya!

-'How you doing?'

-Fine, thank you. You?

-'How was it?'

-Kylie and Tom turned around.

EVERYBODY SQUEALS AND LAUGHS

If all four of us had've turned,

that's where she would've gone.

Well, hopefully.

I've seen you turn those blue eyes on. Even from the side I'm, like...

he's doing the blue eyes, he's givin' the look.

-But there's Will on the end, you see.

-I don't got blue eyes.

You got to watch him. You got to watch him.

I've supported my brother for the last ten years,

now it's his turn...to support me.

He can come to MY shows!

Vicky's through,

but can Georgia follow in the family footsteps, too?

My cousin Adele is amazing, and I'm in total awe of her.

But I really want to be known for me,

and for my voice, and for my sound.

And I'm ready to show the world the way I am and what I'm made of.

MUSIC STARTS SWING STYLE

# Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know

# He is my baby and he lives next door

# Every morning 'fore the sun comes up

# He brings my coffee in my favourite cup

# That's how I know

# I kno-o-ow

# Hallelujah, I just love him so

# When I'm in trouble and I have no friends

# I know he'll go with me until the end

# Everybody ask me how I know

# I smile at them and say he told me so

# That's how I know

# I kno-o-ow

# Hallelujah, I just love him so... #

Come on, Will! Come on!

# And tell him that I'm all alone

# By the time I count from one to four

# I hear him knockin' on my do-o-o-oor

# In the evening as the sun does down

# And there is nobody else around

# He kisses me and he holds me tight

# Tells me, baby, everything's all right

# That's how I know

# Hallelujah, I just love him so

# Hallelujah, I just love him so

# Hallelujah, I just love him so. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank God I didn't wait too long!

I was on the up, and it finished...

I just missed the down.

-Hi!

-Hi!

Hi, what's your name?

My name's Georgia. I'm 27 and I'm from Huddersfield in Yorkshire.

-You're 27?

-I'm 27, yes.

-You look like you're, like, 19, 20.

-I know.

When I'm 40 that'll come in handy, won't it?

Yes, it will! Yes, it will!

-You sounded amazing.

-Thank you.

What an interesting song choice. Is that the style you normally sing?

Yeah, I absolutely love Ray Charles, Etta James,

Otis Redding, Gladys Knight...

APPLAUSE

Yeah, it was incredible,

and I have no good reason for not turning round.

I'm glad you're with Tom.

I think, out of all of us, he is probably going to show you the way.

I think it's amazing that you, you look like, 18,

but you sound so, like, experienced. Yeah, it's just...

-I think you'll go a long way in this competition.

-Yes.

-Thank you.

I think you did a great job on that song. I love that song.

And I love Ray Charles, I love what he did.

And you did that song justice.

APPLAUSE

-Have you sung with Ray Charles?

-Yes, I sang with Ray Charles.

Yeees! I knew there was a reason!

And there's proof, because I used to have a television show

and Ray Charles was on it.

-We sang together.

-Wow.

-So there's proof. I'm not just saying it.

Amazing. APPLAUSE

Wow.

Anyway, here I am. And here we are.

Team Tom! Team Tom!

# Georgia... #

-Well done!

-Hello.

You are my size - yes!

Just about. Just about.

Welcome to the team, love. It was lovely. You did a great job!

-Thank you, Tom.

-A pleasure.

Oh, look at you!

# ..Georgia on my mind... #

How many have you got?

Four.

And they're all girls so far.

WHOOPING

Problems.

Tom has a squad full of females.

It is true - all my team are girls.

-You silver bear, you!

-Well, you know.

It's not because he's a sex bomb, sex bomb,

it's because he's a charmer.

You're with me, and we're going to be great together.

Thank you.

It's mind-blowing what he does to people.

-MIMICS TOM:

-I have, like, 100 ladies on my team.

So many girls on this team!

I've seen the effect he has on them, and I'm not surprised.

Yes!

How can you have too many girls?

-Have I got her make-up all over my face?

-Yep.

-She's got yours all over hers.

-Make-up!

It's another girl's lipstick on Tom's face!

No, I can't see it.

And he's not done yet...

# You tried hard to get next to me

# I was so in love with you

# I could hardly speak

# Now it seems you wanna run out on me

# Now after all this time, tell me can't you see

# All this love that I'm giving

# All this love that I'm giving

# All this love... #

..as 30-year-old Celestine also adds her voice to Tom's roster of ladies.

CHEERING

Thank you so much for turning.

-Well, I had to. You sounded great to me.

-Thank you.

And you did all the runs with ease, and I noticed that, so that's it.

APPLAUSE

It's going to be great.

I didn't mean it.

I didn't set out to say that I'm going to have all women.

You think that's going to change?

-Maybe not.

-What if you had an all-girl team?

That's all right with me.

I mean, hey, it might end up like that.

You need that many to counterbalance your testosterone levels.

Yeah.

OK, strap yourselves in, here comes the one-man musical whirlwind

that is 42-year-old Si Genaro.

When I die,

there'll always be someone else along to sing The Beatles' songs,

but who's going to sing mine?

The very first song I ever wrote was the Pigeon Song.

HE BEATBOXES

# First I had one pigeon

# Then I had another

# Then I had two pigeons

# And I told my brother

# He wanted one, but I said no

# Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. #

That's going to come back to haunt me, isn't it?

What would you say your style of music is?

I suppose you could call me

acoustic, breakbeat, folk,

-punk, funk, reggae.

-Really?

I love singing the most,

but obviously I do a lot of other things as well,

because I think versatility is the key to good entertainment.

Let me rip this up.

HE PLAYS HARMONICA

To be honest,

I don't think I'm really constructed for the 9-5 existence,

because if you're a musician that's always going to be in your heart

and in your soul, and now I'm running

two open mic nights, cos I started off with open mic,

so I think it's good to help other people do that sort of thing.

Listen, that is fantastic.

I'd love to make a difference and if I could stop people fighting and warring...

I'd love to be able to bring about global peace and harmony.

I think I'm different from everyone else,

I can bring that to The Voice and my energy too.

No man can contain all this energy,

so when it comes in, you've got to put it out again pretty quick

or you're just literally going to explode.

-ALL: Oh, my God.

-There he is.

Come on, Si.

DRUMS START PLAYING

HE PLAYS HARMONICA

# Travelling in a fried-out Kombi

# On a hippie trail, head full of zombies

# I met a strange lady, she made me nervous

# She took me in and gave me breakfast

# And she said, Do you come from a land down under?

# Where women glow and men plunder?

# Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

# You better run, you better take cover... #

HE BEATBOXES

# Buying bread from a man in Brussels... #

Come on, someone press the button.

# He was six foot four and full of muscles

# I said, Do you speak-a my language?

# He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich

# He said, I come from a land down under

# Where beer does flow and men chunder

# Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

# You better run, you better take cover. #

CHEERING

Oh, no.

Hello, guys.

What's your name and where do you come from?

My name is Si Genaro. I currently live in the New Forest.

Wow. You live in a forest?

I certainly do. Up a tree.

Is anyone here from the Forest? Love you guys. Squirrels.

LAUGHTER

Did you enjoy that?

I had a brilliant time. This crowd are absolutely wonderful.

CHEERING

-Was he moving about a lot?

-AUDIENCE: Yeah!

Are you tired?

Um...no. He lied.

It was really good, the energy was there,

but maybe kind of just... hold it back a little.

It's all about getting there,

not throwing everything at it from the start.

Absolutely.

I liked it, I didn't love it enough to press this. So, that's it.

APPLAUSE Yeah. No, I get that.

But I think you gave them the highlight of the day.

Thank you.

I can't believe my luck, it's such a joy to be here,

this has been such a beautiful experience for me.

And how good are the band?

CHEERING

The band are awesome.

Will?

I felt that if you would have just focused on one thing -

cos you came in playing the harmonica, which is great,

I was like, "Cool,"

and then you came in singing fresh, and then you started beatboxing.

There was a lot in there, it has to be said.

I was going to do some whistling and some aerobatics.

I'm glad I left those out in the end.

I don't whether I'd have been able to deal with it.

CHEERING

Maybe if you would have, like... I love beatboxing, but...

..not in The Voice, you know what I mean, like,

I don't think you can get to the end and win it beatboxing,

it's a lot of spit on the mic, and then you've got to share it.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Kylie, if you can get a word in, I'd go for it now.

I'm trying!

-Hello, Kylie.

-Hi.

Of course I loved that song, you had me at Vegemite sandwich.

I enjoyed it,

I thought the same with the beatboxing,

that seemed like a bit of waste of your valuable time.

But thanks for singing one of my favourite songs.

You are very welcome.

It's always been my dream to sit in one of those chairs.

What are the chances? I'm not trying to steal your job.

CHEERING

-Thank you.

-There he goes!

I can't believe I'm sitting in Will.i.am's chair,

this is the best buzz ever.

OK, Will, um...

I personally think that you're from the future.

LAUGHTER

Am I right?

He's definitely from the future, isn't he?

He's too cool for our time.

CHEERING

His phone's in here. I won't touch it.

And there's a drink.

So, what do you do in the Forest?

LAUGHTER

I mainly chase badgers, really.

There's not a lot else to do.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

I write songs cos the countryside's a good place for writing songs.

It's very conducive for the creative process.

-Would you like your chair back? Thank you so much.

-No, go ahead.

It's been an absolute privilege.

Oh, my God.

Thanks for coming in.

I've always thought you were a legend

-for as long as I've lived in this world.

-Thank you.

What I want to ask though, you do a lot of shows?

I do actually combine music with comedy sometimes.

When I was in the hotel room the other day,

I did actually write a song called Chicken Train.

-Can we hear it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

HARMONICA MIMICS CHICKEN

# Chicken train

# Put the needle to the record Put the needle to the record

# Drumbeats go like

# Needle to the record

-# Put the needle to the record.

-Chicken Train, eh?

-Chicken train.

Chicken Train is a smash.

Well, it will be.

-That was kind of amazing.

-Yeah.

What a character, huh?

He's gotta get out of the forest more often.

Well done, Si.

Si, that was absolutely incredible.

-It was so good.

-Thank you.

Look at your brother, he's emotional.

I'm so proud of you.

Si is my big brother, he's always been my hero...

I've always been his big brother.

And he's so confident and so fearless out there.

Whether they turn around or not, he's everything I'd like to be.

Yeah, but Philip, you're everything I want to be.

Si Genaro was like...

bizarro. He even made his harmonica sound like a chicken.

That was nuts.

Aye-aye.

Quick polish. Polish me button.

Ricky's gotta do more than just polish that button.

He's got to push it.

But what will it take for him to turn?

What I'm looking for is more than technical ability,

it's got to hit me here, not just here, it's about...connecting.

Will 19-year-old Nathan Kobierowski have what it takes

to get Ricky to push that button?

I think Ricky will be more into the rockier kind of stuff.

Hopefully that will work in my favour.

# You only hold me when I sleep

# And I was meant to tread the water

# Now I've gotten in too deep

# For every piece of me that wants you

# Another piece backs away

# You give me something

# That makes me scared all right

# This could be nothing

# But I'm willing to give it a try

# Please give me something

# Cos someday I might know my heart. #

APPLAUSE

I felt like you really wanted it, and you needed it,

but maybe at some points the passion got in the way of the tuning

and you got ahead of yourself, but that boy can sing.

Cheers, thanks.

Ricky is a rock singer with a rock band. That's what he does.

-I thought you might have turned.

-That wasn't what I was looking for.

No.

It'd be boring if my team was just a load of guys singing rock songs.

It just wasn't right for me, and if it's not right for me

then it could be right for the other three.

Ricky's probably into the same sort of music as I am

and I think he's probably my best bet, to be honest.

# I want your loving and I want your revenge

'Sometimes I feel under pressure that

'if I hear an acoustic guitar that I'm supposed to pick it.'

I'm not doing that...I'll go for you cos you're up there with a guitar.

I'll go for anything that I just think...there's something in there.

# Romance. #

CHEERING

I wish someone else had gone for it cos...it was grand.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

'I think it is good for someone like me going on and singing a rock song

'that there is now Ricky on the panel, because there's going to be certain

'things that he hears that maybe some of the other coaches won't.'

# They will stop degrading us

# They will not control us

# We will be victorious

# You know that their time is coming to an end

# We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

# They will not control us

# And we will be victorious. #

Will is absolutely seething with me. Look at that face.

Oh, I'm not upset. I just beamed him a thought and he received it.

But you did an amazing job, I'm just the indie guy.

Thank you all so much for your time.

It's been an absolute privilege to perform in front of you guys.

CHEERING

I haven't had the moment where I've gone...there's no hesitation.

I need that moment that makes my heart pound,

I need that moment that makes me feel to an extent.

Hoping he can make that connection is 26-year-old Myles Evans.

Tell me a little bit about you. What's your normal day-to-day job?

-I'm a trainee lawyer at the moment.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

-It's quite different.

-A bit different.

I'm kind of out of my comfort zone here, I don't really do anything

like this or any kind of music or singing or performing.

-So, this is my fault.

-Your fault?

-I did the application for him.

How did you feel when you found out?

I was pretty surprised.

-Angry with her?

-Not angry. Just a bit shocked.

But I thought, you can't argue with your sister.

No, you really can't.

We know how the brother and sister relationship goes.

The sister will always win.

My sister was diagnosed with cancer in February last year.

It's obviously a very serious condition...

Sorry.

She's undergone chemotherapy treatment

and she's going to have to undergo surgery as well.

I thought it was about time that somebody pushed him

and going through chemotherapy

is the perfect time to use emotional blackmail, really,

to get him to do it,

so he couldn't say no to his big sister.

I feel hugely out of my depth here.

I've never actually sung in any bars or clubs

or had any kind of professional training whatsoever,

but here I am, performing in front of millions of people

and the four celebrity coaches.

No pressure.

-There he is!

-Come on, Myles!

If I knew what I was hoping to find,

I'd know where to look for it.

I want it to surprise me and, yeah, I want to find a little bit of magic.

MYLES: I want to do it for my sister.

She believes in me more than I believe in myself.

He looks the part, doesn't he? He really does.

# Broken bottles in the hotel lobby

# Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again

# I know it's crazy to believe in silly things

# But it's not that easy

# But I've got high hopes... #

Come on, Ricky, push it!

Go on!

Yes!

# When it all comes to an end

# But the world keeps spinning

# Around

# Oh-oh

# Whoa, whoa-oh-oh!

# High hopes

# It takes me back to where we started

# High hopes

-# When you let it go, go out and start again... #

-Again!

Well done!

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh

# But the world keeps spinning

# Around. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Yes!

-Well done!

CHEERING

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Hi!

-Hi, Kylie, how are you?

Good! Who are you, what's your name?

My name's Myles. I'm 26 and I'm a trainee solicitor.

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

So you prefer your day job or being here?

Er, I quite enjoyed that, actually, yeah.

Good! It was really good!

APPLAUSE Thank you.

I've never actually sung in public before.

What?!

CHEERING

Obviously, I haven't had the experience...

I'm putting this in a nice way.

-Oh, thank you.

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you very much.

-..that Tom has,

but I would say that at times it wasn't perfect,

but you were nervous, I could tell that straight away.

You're on TV, it's Saturday night.

Everything else is there - the emotion, the power of it.

I think you were just nervous.

-But I think it was great.

-Yeah.

-You'll go a long way.

-Cheers, thank you.

APPLAUSE

I enjoyed your performance. Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-I think, you know, those two blokes over there...

I said "bloke" like an Englishman!

LAUGHTER AND WHOOPING

Very British, very proper.

Look at me, Mom, I'm turning English!

I think, out of those two mates...

I did it again!

Now you're Australian!

Oh, that's right. I didn't feel...

I was sitting here thinking, "OK, what can I do to coach?"

I didn't turn cos I didn't want to...

-It'd be an injustice if you were to pick me.

-Thank you, Will.

I loved it.

I can't criticise anything that you did,

because you sounded really good and really original.

You have the tone and you have a style.

You've got a thing there that I wouldn't try to change.

I would just hopefully give you more confidence, that's all.

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

Who do you think he'll pick, Christopher?

-Um, Ricky.

-Do you?

AUDIENCE SHOUT SUGGESTIONS

I didn't even think I'd be in this position at all.

Um...

I think... I think the person that I want as my coach...

Ricky or Tom, Ricky or Tom.

-..is Ricky.

-Yeah.

Yes!

We'll have a great time.

-Good luck. No, it's great.

-Thank you.

-OK.

Your first time performing? That was amazing, well done.

HE MOUTHS CONGRATULATIONS

He seems like the nicest guy ever. He's so sweet.

There he is!

Yes!

You must be so pleased that your sister pushed you into it.

-Forced your hand.

-She can feel less guilty now.

-I got one.

-Got one!

He's done brilliant. I would have been proud of him whatever happened,

but he's done so well

and I just wanted other people to see he could sing.

It didn't sound like anyone else.

-It was like the emotion was in the cracks. It was just him.

-Yeah!

Exactly. He came over very real.

Very natural.

It's not about what genre you're into or you think you're into.

It's about... It was just about emotion. And...

..he had it.

Last up tonight is 31-year-old Leverne Scott-Roberts

and this is isn't the first time she's had a stab at musical success.

When I was 18 years of age, I was in a girl band

with two other girls.

We got a development deal

and we were having a lot of fun with each other, and it was great.

I then fell pregnant with my first little boy.

I really left everything and came back home to be a mother.

-Oh, who's that for?

-You!

I'm a single mum now to four boys under 11,

and my routine consists of just the daily chores of having children

and it doesn't leave much time for singing.

I have a record deal with the kitchen sink now,

cos it's the only place I ever get to sing.

She sings in the kitchen and she sings everywhere.

I'm doing this to show my children

that no dream should really be too big.

I always doubt myself a lot -

"Can I sing? Am I in tune?

"Is there anything there at all?"

Today is the first time in ten years I've stepped out on a stage.

It's nerve-racking.

-Does she look nervous to you?

-ALL: Yes.

# You trembled like you'd seen a ghost

# And I gave in

# "I lack the things you need the most", you said

# Where have you been

# I've fallen from grace

# Took a blow to my face

# I've loved and I've lost

# I've loved and I've lost

# Explosions

# On the day you wake up

# Needing somebody

# You've learned

# It's OK to be afraid

# But it will never be the same

# The nights you could cope

# Your intentions were gold

# But the mountains will shake

# I need to know I can still make

# Explosions

# On the day you wake up

# Needing somebody

# And you've learned

# It's OK to be afraid

# But it will never be the same

# Oh-oh-oh

# It will never be the same. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

No way!

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you!

-You have a full house!

-Are your chairs broken?

LAUGHTER

-What's your name?

-Sorry, my name is Leverne

and I'm from Cheshire.

WHOOPING

I'm a mummy of four,

four little boys.

You probably don't have a lot of time with four children.

So how did you become such a good singer?

-I don't sing, Kylie...

-What?!

I don't do gigs, I don't do shows, I basically...

Do laundry and packed lunches?

Yes, Hoover, wash up and sing whilst I'm going with the boys going,

"Stop singing, Mum!"

CHEERING

Well, that was just beautiful and I would love to hear you sing

more songs and I'd love to be part of your journey.

We'll sort out the baby-sitter and all that.

And you're just delightful and lovely and you have my heart.

CHEERING

I've got five girls on my team.

LAUGHTER

I have to stress that point, because, as it happens,

they are all girls.

-I don't know why, because...

-Ah!

No, no, because I really like the way they sang.

Each one of them brought something different.

And that's what you do - you've brought something different.

You just sang it.

You didn't try to do anything clever. You did what you felt.

And I felt what you felt, so if you want to come with me, come on.

APPLAUSE

Yeah, during that, me and TJ...

sorry, Sir TJ - we were looking at each other

and we both said the same thing - we were both going, "Pure."

-Yeah.

-It was so pure.

It was amazing. But I think we're going to have to find someone

to help you with the laundry

and looking after the kids cos you're going to be pretty busy

over the next few weeks.

CHEERING

I thought you sounded like a little angel

and I didn't want to waste any time. I wanted to see you...

I wanted to see what fell out of the sky, so I turned around.

AUDIENCE: Aww!

Smooth.

We all have that person in our lives

that helps us do impossible things.

Whether it's a family member, a close friend, a manager,

so this journey,

there's going to be some things that seem impossible to you

because you've been doing impossible things raising a wonderful family.

Regardless of who you pick,

we'll be walking around backstage and I'll be there to give you

a shove on the shoulder to help you through the hard times.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's a tough choice, right?

-It's the toughest.

-Cos on the end you've got Will,

and what he can do for you is immeasurable.

You've got Kyles, there.

She can bring out the diva in you, which needs to be brought out.

Tom can teach you everything cos he's done everything.

He's met Jessie J(!)

LAUGHTER

I'd just let you be yourself, that's what I'd do. And you are great.

WHOOPING

Choose wisely.

AUDIENCE SHOUTS SUGGESTIONS

Such a decision.

I thought backstage now who my heart was belonging to

from before I got on the stage...

..and for who I think can take me further...

..Tom Jones.

# I want to scream

# I want to shout

# I want to scream till the words come out... #

CHEERING

-Six girls, yes.

-Six girls now.

THEY SCREAM

She's got a natural voice. She didn't try to, you know,

-make us turn around. She just sang it.

-Yeah.

-And I love that.

-And it felt effortless.

-Yeah.

Moms, to me, I always think of my mom.

She had four kids of her own and adopted four,

so there's eight of us,

so I sympathise and empathise with single moms.

She's Supermom.

She's like a little pop star ready to go,

but I think Tom had her from the very start.

A very powerful Sex Bomb to defuse.

How do you do it?

I just do it.

He just does it!

As we approach the halfway mark in the blind auditions,

week three of the talent grab is over.

Tom has been busy, as his all-female team grows to six.

I didn't intend it to be this way.

12 girls, I mean, hey, it might end up like that.

Yeah!

Team Will has one new member, taking his total to four.

I'm really happy with my team so far.

I think this is going to be freakin' fresh.

-MARVIN:

-Along with Ricky, who also adds one to make four.

I've got four acts. I'm feeling very positive.

But there's no pressure, though.

And Kylie bides her time...

..sticking on four.

I'm really happy with Team Kylie so far.

I think it's more about quality than quantity,

but I'll fight the whole way.

With time running out, the coaches must raise their game...

I don't think the claws have totally come out yet.

-No.

-..Kylie's "spinning around"...

These guys are starting to play games now.

HE IMITATES CRYING

..and fighting talk.

Me and Kylie haven't got the experience,

so that makes us a bit more fresh.

-No, you can't do that!

-Ah!

-See these fists?

-See these heels?

Mama dope.

Find out next week, as the blind auditions continue.

We'll see what happens next time.

Bam.
