Knockouts 2 The Voice UK

'Paloma and Ricky completed their final teams of three.'

You know my team's the best. Team Paloma all the way!

Now you're going to see who the real stars are.

-'Tonight...'

-All right, George -

the big moment's come.

'..all the heat is on Will and George...'

Round two of the knockouts.

HE WHOOPS

George... HE GASPS

'..as they choose their live show line-ups.'

Five people bounce and I'm left with three.

Arrgghh!

HE LAUGHS

It's the fight for survival.

'There are no second chances.'

I just don't want to think about it too much.

'It's going to be electric.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to The Voice, the knockouts, round two.

Now, tonight, the remaining artists

have chosen a song that they hope will impress their coach

and take them sailing into the live shows.

Indeed - every decision is crucial

and here are the stars calling the shots.

Our chief frontman is Ricky Wilson,

alongside the stylish and sassy Paloma Faith.

The man, the boy, the legend - Boy George.

And our very own Inspector Gadget, will.i.am!

Ladies and gentlemen, it's our coaches!

Evening, coaches.

Evening, presenters!

-Everyone raring to go?

-Fantastic.

-Good stuff.

George, it's your first knockout, how you feeling?

Almost hyperventilating with excitement,

and still don't know really what I'm going to do,

who I'm going to choose, so it's going to be, you know...

-It's all about right now.

-Yeah.

Best of luck, coaches - let's get the knockout rounds started.

WILL WHOOPS

Of course I think I've got the strongest team.

HE LAUGHS

You look so beautiful.

I've got real singers.

They're all quite unique, a lot of style going on.

They've all got a chance.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Now you choose your own songs.

It's been really frustrating, not knowing what you're going to sing.

They better choose wisely,

because there's a place in the live shows for three people.

I'm just always looking for emotion, connectedness to the lyrics...

You know - "What's my motivation?" I really want to feel that.

It's going to be really hard to get rid of five people.

And I'm nervous.

Right, George, are you ready?

-I'm so ready.

-Are you guys ready?

Right. Let's do it.

Kicking off is one of Boy George's steals - it's Alaric.

Psst...

Have you got some ID, please, mate?

Alaric looks like he should be in Game Of Thrones,

but this beautiful voice comes out of him

and it is just this lovely contradiction.

# Hope there's someone who'll take care of me... #

Boy George stealing me was a massive compliment.

I don't want to let him down.

What's the song you're going to do for us?

-I'm going to sing Unchained Melody.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

I thought...kind of, tackling a classic

would be kind of bold.

# Time can do so much... #

I really like the fact

that he is taking himself out of his comfort zone.

-I wouldn't be afraid to throw in some of your opera.

-Yeah?

I mean, it almost felt like you were holding back.

-You can probably get bigger with it.

-Yeah?

I'm going to go home and just sing it over and over

and give it a real Alaric stamp.

Hope he likes it.

# Oh

# My love

# My darling

# I've hungered for your touch

# Oh, such a long

# Lonely time

# And time

# Time goes by

# So slowly

# And time

# Time can do so much

# Are you still mine?

# Cos I need your love

# I need your love

# God speed your love

# To...

# Me. #

Let's hear it for Alaric.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I didn't know he can do that.

-It's going to be tough.

-GROANING:

-I hate my life.

Next up, it's Laura.

# Nature is a language... #

Laura has this great, kind of, country sort of twang to her voice,

which I absolutely love.

Your last performance in the battles,

there was so much emotion.

I felt very proud.

# You cry out in your sleep... #

I didn't even think I'd get, like, a chair turn,

so to get this far is just incredible.

One step away from the lives.

It's one of the most nerve-racking things that you can ever do.

# ..surrender. #

I'm going to ask you, when you perform that,

-to engage with me.

-Yeah.

In rehearsals, I encouraged Laura to look at the audience,

not close her eyes,

to connect with the people that she is performing to.

It's really important.

Literally, just look at everyone.

Look at them, engage with them, then they become your friends.

I've always been like that, when I'm performing.

I just go into myself little bit too much.

It's something I do really need to work on.

Give me a hug.

I am willing her to sing this song in such a beautiful way

that there is no denying that she has to come with me.

# Sweet disposition

# Never too soon

# A moment of love

# A dream, a laugh

# A kiss, a cry

# Our rights, our wrongs

# Stay there

# Cos I'll be coming over

# While our blood's still young

# It's so young, it runs

# Won't stop till it's over

# Won't stop to surrender

# It's over

# Won't stop to surrender. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Please put your hands together for Laura.

But you can make anything emotional.

I would have gone for, like, Crazy.

# Crazy... # That?

# Crazy for feeling so lonely... #

Singing to stay on Team Boy George, it's Harry.

# Come on, let it go... #

Harry has this natural soul in his voice.

# I just can't stop lovin' you... #

When he gets it, it's the most beautiful thing ever.

From his big shoes to his many hairdos,

he is special.

Before I came on The Voice, I was living at home with my mum,

then I moved out to uni.

My life has just changed drastically these last few months

and being this close to the lives is terrifying.

There is eight of us left and everyone is insane.

Now is the time to go in with a really risky choice.

I'm so nervous! I'm so nervous.

I'm so nervous about this song.

I have to be honest,

it's just really dangerous to take one of her songs and do it.

I can really feel your nerves.

Breathe. Channel your nerves.

Find the best place for them and put it into your performance.

He may do something magical and beautiful with it and steal it,

so there's hope.

HE LAUGHS

# Hello

# It's me

# I was wondering if after all the years

# You'd like to meet

# There's a difference between us

# And a million miles

# Hello from the other side

# I must have called a thousand times

# To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

# But it don't matter

# It clearly doesn't tear you apart

# It's no secret the both of us

# Are running out of time

# Hello from the outside

# At least I can say that I've tried

# To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

# But it don't matter

# It clearly doesn't tear you apart

# Any more. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it for Harry!

That was good.

It's a physical, physical performance when he sings.

It's like he's going into battle.

The buzz is unreal. It unreal.

Next to perform, another of George's steals.

It's Bradley.

Bradley!

-Truly, Bradley, deeply.

-Go on, Bradley!

# I'm a man, yeah... #

I think Bradley might be a very smart steal.

HE LAUGHS

# Yeah, yeah, yeah... #

I was really surprised when Paloma took Rick.

Yes!

Then what Bradley brings to Team Boy George,

he's young, he's cool, he's good-looking.

How are you doing?

I've been given a massive second chance and I'm really grateful.

'To work with Boy George is a big thing for me.'

# The sun don't shine The sun don't shine... #

Don't get so lost in the song that you leave us all alone out here.

-I know. I'm terrible, my eyes...

-I understand.

I do it all the time and I get told off all the time.

People have paid to see you out there.

Don't cut us out, mate.

You need to twinkle those eyes, like Ricky.

Flutter those eyelashes. It'll make people fall in love with you.

Works with Ricky. You know?

Learn from the best.

The audience are there to support you.

They really want you to shine, and I want you to shine.

Bradley is singing his dad's favourite song.

If he brings enough emotion,

then he's going to be going to the live shows, no question,

and I think Paloma is going to be crying.

She's going to be crying.

HE LAUGHS

# I've walked through the valleys of the wilderness in time,

# Only to find out

# That you have love in places I can't describe

# I need you

# It's the sunrise

# I can't be without you

# Without you

# Without you

# Singing the sun don't shine

# The sun don't shine

# The sun don't shine The sun don't shine

# Without you

# Without you

# Through all the space and time

# Your love is mine

# The sun don't shine The sun don't shine

# Without you

# Without you, yeah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Bradley, everyone!

Well done, bro.

-What did you think, William?

-It was good.

It's hard to tell, without hearing everybody.

OK, so you think it's too soon to call?

That's very helpful of you!

Like, "Mm, wasn't that steak delicious?

"Don't we...

"Ain't we getting other food?"

THEY LAUGH

Next up for Team Boy George, it's Leighton.

# She tears you down, darling

# Says you're nothing at all... #

My boy Jay was at the battles.

I just looked at him, he was really happy.

As soon as we finished, we went for a chat,

I said, "How was my dad dancing?"

And he gave me the thumbs up, which I thought was not too bad,

from a 15-year-old who's cool - not like his dad!

Leighton is Team Boy George's all-rounder.

He plays piano, guitar, he's got this fantastic soul voice.

HE SCATS

Hey!

Brilliant. I am a little bit worried about the guitar.

-OK.

-Kind of getting in your way of performing the song.

I would love to hear you do it without the guitar.

Cool. Not a problem.

Unless you're going to set fire to it,

play it with your teeth, like Jimi Hendrix,

there's no point having it.

I need you to be 100% in your performance.

-I'll take your advice.

-We got a guitar player, haven't we?

A lovely guitar player who's being paid a fortune.

Boy George, he's straight to the point.

He don't pull no punches, which I really like.

HE SCATS

As soon as we lost the guitar, it was like a different performance.

It was just night and day.

-Sorry, the guitar is out.

-It's gone.

To get through to the lives,

Leighton has to bring so much soul and emotion into this performance,

so there is no denying that he has to be in the top three.

# Strollin' in the park

# Watching winter turn to spring

# Oh, yeah, yeah

# Walkin' in the dark

# Seein' lovers do their thing

# Oh, baby, baby

# That's the time

# I feel like making love to you

# Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Baby, baby - oh!

# In a restaurant

# Holdin' hands by candlelight

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# When I'm touchin' you

# Holding you with all my might

# Ooh, doo-doo-doo, dah-dah-dah-dah-dah

# Yeah, yeah

# That's the time

# I feel like making love to you

# Oh, oh, oh

# That's the time, baby

# I feel like making dreams come true

# Yeah, oh, oh, oh

# Yeah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it for Leighton.

That was so good. Well done.

That was amazing. I had a well good time.

Next to perform, it's Vangelis.

Vangelis, for me,

he's just got great natural feeling in his voice.

# Do you really want to hurt me? #

My songs are so emotional and personal.

Not anyone can just come along and sing them.

But he was incredible and I had to have him on my team.

It's a bit weird, going from singing in my bedroom

to performing on stage.

It's a massive opportunity and I don't want to...

I don't want to waste it.

What song have you chosen to do?

-I've picked Viva Forever by Spice Girls.

-OK.

The song choice is definitely key. It needs to be right.

# Live forever... #

Oh, my God.

I just felt like he wasn't blown away by it,

so I was a bit, like, I don't know if he's got it or not?

It was undeniably the wrong song.

It was just a bit of a shock.

It did kind of throw me a bit.

So we have decided to change the song.

# Give me... #

-I think it's beautiful.

-Yeah?

-Certainly better than Viva Forever.

I feel really happy about the song change.

People are going to go, "Oh, I love this song." You know?

It isn't an ideal situation for Vangelis,

but I think it is going to keep him on his toes

and I am very excited about what he's going to do.

# Maybe I didn't treat you

# Quite as good as I should have

# Maybe I didn't love you

# Quite as often as I could have

# Little things I should have said and done

# I just never took the time

# You were always on my mind

# You were always on my mind

# Tell me

# Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

# Give me

# Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

# You were always on

# My mind. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Vangelis!

-Have you heard him in rehearsals doing better than that?

-Oh, yeah.

Well, that means that he is capable of doing it better than that.

But it's about what he did tonight, isn't it?

My eyes are twitching, my hands are shaking!

Let's see what Chase does.

I need your help. I know you fancy him - forget that.

Boy George's next artist is Chase.

Chase is a cool, calm fighting man.

He is a cage fighter.

Very confident.

Paloma, I think, had a bit of an eye for Chase.

I would definitely go home with Chase.

LAUGHTER

# If you let me stay... #

I'm singing if you let me stay, Terence Trent D'arby.

It's a fun song and I think George is a fun person,

and that's why he's going to dig it.

# ..stay, oh, I... #

Very confident, he's a great performer,

but it's not just about being confident at this point.

I want something more from him.

Let's pretend we've got Paloma here, in a figure-hugging little number,

going, "Oh, baby, sing for me, sing for me!"

LAUGHTER

I was sort of saying, "Look, connect."

Imagine the whole audience is full of Palomas.

Wouldn't that be scary?

HE LAUGHS

All that hairspray.

# Look at me... #

Smooth, he's got a lovely voice, he's got great moves,

'but he needs to remember to bring the emotion to this performance.'

OK, everyone. Get out of your seats. Here we go.

# Honey, don't leave me now

# With my head on my shoulders wrong

# Have I done something wrong

# For you to leave?

# I know I've been careless, girl

# For this I apologise

# I'll try better next time, baby

# If you let me stay

# If you let me stay

# I'll say what I should have said

# If you let me stay

# I should have said that I love you

# If you let me stay

# And I should have said it from my heart

# If you let me stay, all right

# Your pretentions aim for gullible fools

# What do you need anyway?

# I'mma get mine, I swear, where I taught the school

# You will regret it some day

# If you let me stay

# I'll say what I should have said

# If you let me stay

-# Na-na-na-na-na-na

-I should have said that I love you

# If you let me stay, na-na-na

# And I should have said it from my heart

# If you let me stay

# All right, ooh-ooh! #

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Yes!

Loved it.

Make some noise for Chase.

And the final artist for Team Boy George - it's Cody.

My name is Cody Frost, I'm 17, and I'm from Lancashire.

I live at home with my mum and my little sister.

This is by far the biggest thing I've done in my life.

# I beg of you, oh... #

From the moment I heard Cody singing in the auditions,

I knew she was unique.

# Lay all your love... #

I think she's the real deal

and everything that she's done in this competition

has only confirmed that.

# Whoa

# I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard...

As you can see, I'm a little bit in love with Cody!

HE LAUGHS

'I'm going to be singing

'Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd,

'because it's rebellious.'

My biggest challenge with this song

'will probably be not to get too excited and scream.'

-Like...

-GLOTTAL HISS

Yeah!

I think Cody thinks of herself as being quite rebellious,

but I think, underneath all that,

there is a very sensitive, compassionate person.

Once you do that Cody thing, I don't know what it is...

SHE LAUGHS

..try to balance it,

cos when you get angry, it's great, but don't lose that vulnerability.

I mean, she's clearly very creative.

She's got a unique artistic side to her,

and I think there is so much more to come from her.

Everything hangs on this performance,

so...nothing is for certain.

# We don't need no education... #

Yes!

# We don't need no thought control

# No dark sarcasm in the classroom

# Teachers leave them kids alone

# Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone

# All in all it's just a brick in the wall

# I don't need no arms around me

# Don't think I need anything at all

# Don't think I need anything at all

# Whoa

# All in all it was just a brick in the wall

# Oh, oh, oh

# All in all you were just a brick in the wall. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, it's going to be tough. Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!

GEORGE GROANS

Make some noise for Team Boy George, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah, he's a super singer, but that's not enough.

George, this is your team.

-Did the guys do you proud tonight?

-Amazing.

You know, there were some really magical moments tonight

and it is going to be really, really tough to call.

You know, for me, singing is a completely emotional experience

and if I feel the person going through that up there,

that's the thing that's going to make me go, "OK..."

Before we go to that, let's hear from the other coaches.

Will, talk us through George's knockouts.

I think that...the best singer

is, uh...Leighton.

But I would put Cody through. She's the best...

She's the best...for me, like,

a dope, amazing artist.

-And then Chase.

-Chase.

Brilliant. Thank you, Will.

Paloma, how did George's team do for you?

I think the team is amazing.

There was a couple of people in the team

who picked the wrong song

or interpreted the songs in a way that let them down a little bit,

but I would be putting through, definitely, Cody.

Um...Harry, for sure.

And Chase.

Brilliant. Thank you, Paloma.

-Rick.

-Hi!

-Hey.

George stole Alaric from your team, of course, in the battles.

-How do you think he did tonight?

-Amazing, as always. Well done, Al.

-I'd have you back.

-Really?

-Yes, course.

So if Alaric went through,

-what other two would you pick, do you think?

-Oh...

I'd go Harry and Cody.

George, you have got a tough choice ahead.

I don't envy you right now. But for one more time,

let's hear it for Team Boy George.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, George - your big moment has come.

It's time for you to make your first knockout decision.

OK, so...

Sh...

Let him think, let him think.

When I first heard the song this person was going to sing,

I was like, "Oh, no!"

Because I would never have chosen that particular song

and I was worried that it would be, you know, karaoke.

I was really freaked out.

But the person nailed it, well and truly.

So the person that I am taking through first is going to be...

..Harry.

Harry, congratulations!

You are going through to the live shows.

Come on down to George.

SHE LAUGHS

Harry, Harry, Harry!

Congratulations.

OK, so, now just two places remain on Team Boy George.

George, it is time for you to make your second knockout decision.

You know, this is a singing competition,

so it's about the voice.

And I'm choosing this person, although I would say they need work

on connecting to what they do emotionally,

I still have to base it on vocal performance.

So the person that I am taking through next is...

..Vangelis.

Vangelis, congratulations!

Come on down.

Well done.

I can't believe that. I really can't.

I thought I was going home. Thank you so much.

-I...I don't know what say.

-OK, so we have two.

There is one more space left on Team Boy George,

so let's find out who is going to be joining you.

George, it is time to make your final knockout decision.

There are six fine voices up there.

I don't believe that this is the end, it's the beginning.

So I would encourage you all to carry on doing what you do,

go out there and sing and...you know, make people happy,

cos that is a good thing to do.

We are all kind of looking for someone who can be a real artist,

that can develop and grow and become something unique and...

..you know, I think that...

I think I've definitely found it in this person.

So the last person that I am taking through...

..is...

..Cody.

Cody, congratulations! Come on down to George.

You are the final member of Team Boy George

going through to the live shows.

You're amazing.

I like this.

Come on over!

EMMA LAUGHS

-How are you feeling?

-I'm all right.

What's it been like so far, being on Team Boy George?

Oh, it's been an amazing, like, learning from somebody

who is so similar, but so, like, so superior at the same time.

It's so cool. Like, he's just helped me so much.

Guys, congratulations. So, there we have it.

Team Boy George's live three.

Harry, Vangelis and Cody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys.

George, obviously, they've not made it to your final three,

but you must be so proud of them.

I am, and you know, everybody did amazingly,

and it is kind of boring to say it, but I really, really hope

you all continue singing, you know?

Don't give up and, you know, we might see each other again.

-Watch this space.

-Absolutely. Thank you.

One more time - from thousands of people, you made it to the knockouts.

Give it up for Alaric, Laura, Bradley, Leighton, and Chase.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done.

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

I am very excited about Team George.

I've got three great singers, very different.

SCREAMING

Harry just won everybody's hearts and really delivered tonight,

and I feel like he is very unique,

very special, an undeniable talent.

Vangelis is amazing. I think he is going to be

very popular with people at home.

He has got a very classy voice.

Boy George has a superstar talent with Cody.

It's not just some default "I sing good" individual.

There is a fingerprint there,

and that is "I'm coming out tomorrow,

"and you are going to know me."

-ALL:

-Yeah! Team George, Team George, Team George!

The next knockout of the night is from Team Will.

THEY CHEER

Team Will this year.

My team is like rocket launchers.

Black stealth jets.

I have an eagle that can dive into the freaking ocean,

and also be a submarine.

And then I have this singer on my team

that is like a great white shark...

Hold on, let me go back. Rewind.

I have eight singers on my team.

Five of them gets knocked out.

I think he's going to find it tough. Everyone is incredible.

Blow it, and you're blowing your opportunity.

That's how it is.

Man up. Get to work.

And try your best to be fierce.

Uh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Will, amazing round of applause for your team.

OK, first to perform, it's Lydia.

Wahey! Come on, Lydia. You go, girl!

# Smells like trouble to me

SHE RAPS: # I shoulda known you were bad news... #

Lydia not only sings good,

I believe Lydia is the full package.

I think she is a powerhouse.

You're amazing.

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

The winner of today's battle is...Lydia.

Lydia, congratulations! Well done.

When Will said my name, I couldn't believe it.

I was absolutely over the moon

and I couldn't wait to thank him for believing in me.

-Hello, hi, Lyds.

-Hey.

'I was nervous going in there with Will'

and I was sort of, a bit, like...

I just want him to like it.

What song are you singing?

I Knew You Were Trouble, Taylor Swift.

When I told Will what the song was,

he sort of looked at me like, "What?"

And I was like, "Oh, um...OK, let me just sing it."

I'd say I'm taking a risk with this song,

because I've completely changed it up.

I am like, "Wait a second -

"Taylor Swift doesn't sing this song."

"Yes, she does."

"She doesn't sing it like that."

# Oh, oh, oh... #

-Serious.

-Like it?

Yeah - first, I thought, "Oh, this is going to be boring."

Then - boom! - you hit me.

-Yeah?

-That was dope.

It up to Lydia to live up to what is in my head,

cos she could totally mess it up.

Cos what's in my head is perfect.

# Once upon a time a few mistakes ago

# I was in your sights

# You got me alone

# You found me, you found me

# You found me

SHE RAPS: # And the saddest thoughts come in

# That you never loved me No, n-never loved me

# No apologies You'll never see me cry

# Even though you know you're the reason why

# You're long gone, cos I realised that you never loved me or her

SHE SINGS: # Or anyone, or anything

# Yeah

# I knew you were trouble when you walked in

# Oh, oh

# Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

# Oh, oh

# Trouble, trouble, trouble

# Baby

# Whoa...

# Ooh...

# Oh

# Trouble, hey, hey, hey

# Whoa

# I knew you were trouble when you walked in

# Trouble, trouble, trouble. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it for Lydia!

-That was great!

-Really good.

SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE

Next up is Faheem.

Faheem is a powerful, dynamic singer.

# His brother's smart He's got more sense than many... #

And he dresses well - that's very important for a singer.

You name a singer that didn't have style. I don't know.

I'm glad he's on my team.

-What are you singing?

-Jermaine Stewart,

We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off.

-"We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time?"

-Uh-huh.

I've never sung that to anybody.

Two, I've never had a dude sing that to me.

# We don't have to take our clothes off... #

Three, when I listened to the lyric, I was like...

Wait a second, Jermaine Stewart.

You mean to tell me the girl was ready to get down,

and you were like, "Wait a sec..."

"Uh-uh..."

HE LAUGHS

-But the only advice I would have, don't over-sing it.

-Uh-huh.

-You really wearing the "I'm a singer" shirt.

-Uh-huh.

Instead of, like... Just...have fun with the song.

Now he's kind of picked up on that, I realise that myself.

I just have to do it in a better way.

I'm sure that I'm having fun.

# Not a word from your lips

# You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip

# A quick hit, that's your game

# But I'm not a piece of meat

# Stimulate my brain

# So come on, baby, won't you show some class?

# Why you want to move so fast?

# We don't have to take our clothes off

# To have a good time, oh, no

# We could dance and party all night

# And drink some cherry wine

# Yeah

# Oh, whoa

# Yeah, yeah

# I've got needs, just like you

# Gimme conversations, good vibrations, through and through

# So come on, baby, won't you show some class?

# Why you want to move so fast?

# We don't have to take our clothes off

# To have a good time, oh, no

# We could dance and party all night

-# And drink some cherry wine, uh-huh

-Yeah

# We don't have to take our clothes off. #

That's Faheem, everyone.

-So incredible!

-Thank you.

You forget those songs, you know what I mean?

-And then you're suddenly like,"Hey!"

-I love that, yeah.

-Imagine, your cutting down from 8 to 3.

-Uh-huh. That's right!

'Singing for a place at the lives, it's Charley Blue!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on, Charley Blue!

Charley Blue is like a ninja warrior.

I sing, I rap and I play the violin.

HE MIMICS VIOLIN

She's the master - with the sword.

Called the bow. Oh, what, you didn't know?

-What song you going to sing today?

-Frisky by Tinie Tempah. Yeah!

Check you out.

And this is something, you know, I'm planning for women...

Changing it up, you know. I'm being frisky. Instead of Tinie Tempah!

You know what I mean. Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, it's good, let's check the friskiness out.

'I just don't think before I speak.

'So it just comes out.' Oh, you look nice! I like these! Oh, my gosh!

I get scared. I watch films a lot. Do you like films?

And then once I spilled a hot chocolate on stage...

But then I was, like, licking it off the floor. You know?

'And then I'm like, "No, no, no, you shouldn't be telling that!"

Cos I AM frisky... Yeah...

No, sorry. No, I'm not! I'm not frisky!

'Sometimes, you know, I just babble on. It's like normal.'

Oh, this is facing you! Oh, man! Sorry, I am a big fan, by the way.

I have to say. Sorry, I'm just talking a lot. I'm cool.

I'm nervous!

Five, six, seven, eight...

# I just can't stop the feelings

# Won't seem to go away

# So if I hurt your feelings

# Don't blame it all on me

# I just can't stop the feelings

# And now they're here to stay

# So, if I hurt your feelings

# It's just because I... #

SHE PLAYS MELODY

# Frisky! #

RAPS: I think I found a winner, with no ring around his finger

His shirt from All Saints, but I think I've found a sinner

I think his pals are with him, who's that boyfriend

Downin' liquor If I told him I'm a boxer...

# I wanna pick him up

# And put him down

# I just cant stop the feelings. # APPLAUSE

# Won't seem to go away

# So if I hurt your feelings It's just because I'm... #

SHE PLAYS MELODY

# Frisky!

# Frisky! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was a confident performance. Confident.

'Please put your hands together for Charley Blue!'

CHEERING DROWNS OUT SPEECH

OK, next up, is one of Will's newest recruits, his steal, Theo!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on, Theo! You got this, brother.

-Was he yours, Paloma?

-Yeah. He is a beauty.

-Yo, what up, Theo?

-Yo! I'm good, how are you?

-Chillin', chillin'.

Theo is like, T-H-E-O - THE ONE. He could be THE ONE.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-One steal! Well done, Theo!

-Why did you steal me?

Not that I'm a klepto, but gems 'n' jewellery...

if it's lootable, I'm lootin' it!

You got a gem of a voice. What song you singing?

-I'm singing Photograph by Ed Sheeran.

-All right, dope.

-Why you singing that song?

-Any time I'm upset or something,

I'd pull out these...

'It's an emotional song for me. It's an important song.

Whenever I hear this song, it makes me think about my kids.

Oh, that's dope, yeah.

'He's a good pops.

Carries his picture of his kids around.

And I can tell he's singing to make them proud. So, it's good.

My biggest challenge for this song is making sure

I portray every single last piece of emotion.

Not forgetting why I'm singing it.

Nice!

# Loving can hurt

# Loving can hurt sometimes

# But it's the only thing that makes us feel alive

# Mm-mm-mm

# We keep this love in a photograph

# We've made these memories for ourselves

# Where our eyes are never closed And hearts are never broken

# Time's forever frozen still

# So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

# Holding me close until our eyes meet

# You will never be alone

# Just wait for me to come home! APPLAUSE

# Wait for me to come home

# When I'm away

# I will remember how you kissed me

# Under the lamppost Back on 6th Street

# Hearing you whisper through the phone

# Wait for me-e-e-e-e-e...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# To come home. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it one more time for Theo!

CHEERING DROWNS OUT SPEECH

-TOM:

-Woo, thanks mum!

'Singing for a place in Will's top three, it's Tom!'

-Go on, Tom!

-Come on, Tom! Woo!

Looking a little bit like Harry Styles today.

-Yeah. Ooh, he's a happy chappy!

-Quick shimmy.

Tom, to me, is ready to go.

I'm all about Tom.

Tom is the bomb.

It's Tom.

Life on the fish counter, since The Battles, has been a whirlwind.

The fish now look at me in a slightly-different way.

I am now king fishmonger of the universe.

-How do you feel about The Battles?

-The battles was fun,

-but I'm excited to show you more of who Tom is.

-Mm-hm.

Tom is a singer that has so much to offer, because he is so quirky.

HE SINGS

In the knockouts, it is all about showing who I am as an artist.

# Head in the clouds

# Got no weight on my shoulders... #

-Are you putting a vibrato on that verse?

-I think so.

Not intentionally.

# Head... #

-Yeah, it should do less.

-Less.

-# Head in the... #

-Like that.

-Yeah.

So, Will made a lot of alterations in the band rehearsal,

so I have got to hope and pray that I remember all that,

ready for my performance.

Hey!

# Hey, baby, even though I hate ya

# I wanna love ya, I want you

# And even though I can't forgive you

# I really want to, I want you, yeah

# Tell me, tell me, tell me, baby Why can't you leave me?

# Leave me, leave me

# Cos even though I shouldn't want it

# I gotta have it, I want you

# Head in the clouds

# Got no weight on my shoulders

# I should be wiser And realise that I've got

# One less problem without you

# I got one less problem without you

# I got one less, one less

# I got one less problem without you

# I got smart money betting I'll be better off without you

# In no time I'll be forgetting all about you

# You're saying that you know But I really, really doubt you

# Understand, my life is easy when I ain't around you

# Iggy, Iggy Too biggie to be here stressing

# I'm thinkin' I love the thought of you more than I love your presence

# And the best thing now is probably for you to exit

# I let you go, let you back I finally learned my lesson....

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Head in the clouds

# Got no weight on my shoulders

# I should be wiser

# And realise that I've got

# One less problem without you

# One less problem without you

# One less, one less

# One less problem without you. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Will!

He's good!!

Let's hear it for Tom!

Will?

Will.

Are you, like, an island unto yourself?

Like, you just know what you are doing?

No, I was just clearing the noise, so I could pay attention.

I just like to, like, take in mind that they're nervous,

to making mistakes, to overdoing it.

-I'm supposed to still... We're still coaching them.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-So, I just...

-He's concentrating.

Next up, another of Will's steals. It's Eli!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I stole Eli from George

because I feel I could just complete her a little bit.

She is beautiful, she sings great and she is blazing.

-What song are you singing?

-A John Legend song called Used To Love You.

OK.

# Maybe, it's me Maybe I bore you... #

-But I don't know who you are aiming it towards.

-OK.

It is emotionless. So, you need to pick a person

that you are singing it to. Obviously, you are not singing that

-to your husband.

-No!

-The song is, "I used to love you", so you have

got to sing that to the person that you were with before your husband

-and mean it!

-I am, generally, a very emotional person,

so I am not really sure why it is not coming through.

She has to be more aggressive and passive-aggressive.

When I was on Team George, he was the one saying, "You have got

-"so much more to give".

-You are holding back so massively.

-Now, Will is saying the same thing.

-It needs to be hot and steamy.

Whoo! OK, right!

-Have just a little bit of, like, rawness.

-OK.

Eli could go all the way, but she has to work hard.

# Ah-la-ha-la-ha-la-ha

# Maybe, it's me

# Maybe, I bore you

# No, no, it's my fault

# Cos I can't afford you

# Maybe, baby

# Puffy

# Or Jay-Z Would all be better for you

# Cos all I can do is love you

# Baby, when I used to love you

# There's nothing that I wouldn't do

# I went through the fire for you

# Do anything you asked me to

# But I'm tired of living this lie

# It's getting harder to justify

# Realised that I just don't love you

# Not like I used to

# Do you remember when I used to love you

# Baby, no, not any more

# I don't love you

# And you're gonna miss me now

# Hey!

# Baby, when I used to love you

# There's nothing that I wouldn't do

# I went through the fire for you

# But I'm not gonna play the fool

# I'll bet you miss me now

# Cos I don't love you. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it for Eli!

-I think she was pretty good.

-Yeah, brilliant.

-I thought she was good.

Come on, Lauren.

Next, into The Knockouts, it's Lauren!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Hi!

-Hey, Lauren.

-How are you?

-Good to see you.

-So good to see you.

It's good to see everyone!

Lauren is sweet. She is a darling.

Being in the stage is SO much better than working in any bagel shop!

When she went up against Vivica Jade, she was dough!

Sometimes you need a little bit more time in the cocoon before you turn

into a butterfly. So, the winner is Lauren.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Congratulations!

-I'm still in shock. I still can't believe it.

-Why are you in shock?

-I'm just this 18-year-old girl starting out

in the big world!

The song I decided to sing for The Knockouts is Release Me, by Agnes.

# For something... #

-Why did you choose this song?

-I just love the feel of it,

plus, you know, I'm still in my cocoon

and I want to be released into a butterfly!

Butterflies are cute.

Great. Awesome. If Lauren wants to make it to The Lives,

she has to turn into a freakin' dragon.

Rrrargh!!!

# Yeah, it's perfectly clear

# That love's not what you need

# I tell you I don't care

# But I don't want to

# Anything that you say

# I hear myself agree

# And I don't recognise what I've turned into

# I don't know what addictive hold

# You have on me, I can't shake

# No, I'm not in control

# So, let me go

# Release me

# Release my body

# Convince myself

# That I'm better off without you

# I could sleep by myself I would burn me alive

# Find me somebody else But I don't want to

# Release me

# Cos I'm not able to

# Convince myself

# That I'm better off without you

# Whoa-ho-oh-oh-oh

# Whoo-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

# Convince myself

# That I'm better off without you. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Lauren, everyone!

JUDGES SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

Last up for Team Will, it's Lyrickal!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

HE BEATBOXES

Lyrickal.

HE BEATBOXES

Lyrickal, I don't understand why he does not have the biggest career.

There is just so much talent in that guy. He sings better than me...

HE SINGS

..he can rap better than most rappers I have ever met.

HE RAPS

He is go. At The Battles, Mary Marley was my soul singer,

that I was going put through.

HE SINGS

Mary Marley went home.

Lyrickal!

When Will called my name, just a flood of emotions. Relief, mainly.

-So, what song are you singing?

-I am going to be singing

Emeli Sande, Read All About it, cos there is a rap version that

Professor Green did.

For this, I wanted to tell my own story,

with my own original lyrics for the rap part.

HE RAPS

I had to stop a few times.

I think part of the reason is the lyrics mean a lot to me and...

I would slow the tempo down a little bit.

I know that, you know, there is so much riding on this song,

-but I have to step up the level.

-When people are listening,

you want them to go like this...

Eyebrows to the neck.

To get through to the live shows is, like, all or nothing.

I'm ready to go.

# I want to sing

# I want to shout

# I want to scream till the words

# Dry out

# Put it in all of the papers

# I'm not afraid

# They can read all about it Read all about it

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

HE BEATBOXES

RAPPING: Think back to a young kid in primary school

Most kids laughing at him thinking he was a fool

Self taught on the keys from the age of ten

The music within helped him to smile and grin

When times were grim Back on the keys again

Learning to sing till he became 1989 rap champion

Improvised lyrics going way beyond

For the young and old but life's just too wrong

Those that know what's the way heard any more

I'm inspired by the greats who came before

So let me put a break through the door

# I want to sing

# I want to shout

# I want to scream till the words dry out

# So, put it in all of the papers

# I'm not afraid

# They can read all about it

# So, put it in all of the papers

# I'm not afraid

# They can read all about it

# Read all about it

# Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah! One more time for Team Will, everyone!

OK, Will, quite a bit for you to consider.

Some brilliant performances up here. Let's talk to the other coaches.

George, what did you think of Team Will tonight?

You know what, I feel like I am at a fantastic concert,

watching loads of great performers.

You know, it's just such a pleasure to sit here watching people sing

and seeing the audience reaction. Obviously, they are all

-a high standard or they wouldn't be at this stage...

-Yep.

-So, it's a pleasure.

-If it were your team, which three would you be

-taking through?

-We just made up a song for Lyrickal, didn't we, Ricky?

Well, we didn't make it up, we stole it!

One, two, three, four...

-ALL THREE:

-# I believe in Lyrickal

# Where you from, you sexy thing?! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Paloma, we had quite a bit of dancing,

we had quite a bit of rapping, we had lots of emotion and a violin.

All the world encompassed.

It was... It's fantastic team. If I was going to take three...

in a, sort of, flippant, gut-feelingy way,

personally, I would probably take Eli, Theo and Faheem.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you, Paloma.

-Ricky, the acts picked their own songs this evening.

-Yep.

Did they all make the right calls?

Some of the songs, I would have chosen,

some of the songs, I wouldn't. But it doesn't matter at this point,

cos you have got this far and you should be really proud

of yourselves. Well done.

OK, if it was up to me - and this is purely on, you know, gut -

Lydia Lucy...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

..Eli Cripps...

and then... And then it would be between the Ripples -

Tom or Lyrickal.

Lyrickal and Tom's outfits!

Fantastic!

Please put your hands together one more time for Team Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Will, here we go!

It's time to make your first Knockout decision.

I hate this part of the show,

because, you know, some amazing singers are going to go home.

And only three go through.

And I deeply apologise for not being able to put everyone through.

OK, Will, tell me about the first person you are taking through to

-the live shows.

-Basically, my decision is based on,

you know, this person has been fighting and, every step of the way

this person has fought and improved. That person is Lauren.

Lauren! Congratulations!

Well done. Well done.

Well done, Lauren. Come and give Will a big hug!

I'm not crying, I'm just so happy!

I'm so happy!

Congratulations, Lauren, you are through to the live shows!

How good is that?!

-Well done. How are you feeling?

-Do you know what, I just said,

I just couldn't believe it, every round that I got through,

and now, I have got to The Lives, I have to believe in myself.

When Will believes in me, obviously, I can believe in myself.

-Thank you so much, Will!

-You're amazing. Well done!

Will, it's time to make your next Knockout decision.

AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT NAMES

OK, Will, tell me about the next artist you are taking through

to the live shows.

The next person I am going to...

-Hold on!

-Here we go, guys.

-Hold on, guys. One second.

Here we go.

-AUDIENCE MEMBER:

-Lydia!!

LAUGHTER

The next person I am putting through, once again, the decisions

they made today and throughout the competition - from the songs

they chose and how they performed - and they are ready for

prime-time, big-time, shine like the sunshine.

That is...

..Lyrickal!

Lyrickal!

Yes!

Well done, Lyrickal!

You are still on Team Will!

Listen, man, we have heard you beatbox, rap and sing.

What is going to happen in the final, man?

I have got a few more surprises up my sleeve, you know.

Me and Will, we're going to talk. We'll get together.

You're going to have to wait and see!

Congratulations, man! It's amazing. Well done.

Let's find out who you will be going through to the live shows

with both of you guys.

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

AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT NAMES

OK, Will, what is going through your mind right now?

-It's like a... It's not the end.

-No.

-Please, continue

and figure a way through the maze.

Who amazed me that, you know, who I think

should be out right now with records and videos

-and touring is the person I am putting through.

-OK, who is it?

That is...

-..Lydia.

-Lydia!

Congratulations!

Lydia, you are through to the live shows. You are still on Team Will.

Congratulations!

Come over here, Lydia. Well done.

You are still on Team Will. You are going through to the live shows.

-How are you feeling?

-I can't believe it, honestly.

I'm overwhelmed. Everyone is obviously so amazing.

I was just, like, I'm so thankful. Thank you, Will. Thank you.

OK, please put your hands together for Will's live team -

Lauren, Lyrickal and Lydia!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It wasn't hard picking the three. It was hard saying goodbye

to the other five. That was what was hard.

WHOOPING

Team Will is ready to go live, with two lovely ladies

and one lad. That is three freaking Ls

and we will not take an L, cos we will not lose!

WHOOPING AND CHEERING

Lyrickal has this real likability and I think he has shown himself

to have incredible soul.

I think people are going to love him.

Lauren - I think she's great.

She has come out fighting and she owned it.

She is something special all right.

Lydia, I feel like is an absolutely exceptional match for Will.

She has such a personal touch in everything she does.

The world is her oyster.

EXCITED CHATTER

Will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-What an amazing night, Willis.

-It's been very good.

Next stop is just the simple matter of singing live to you

-and winning your votes.

-Simple(!)

-Easy!

A walk in the park! A huge thank you to our artists and, of course,

our house band.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And our brilliant four coaches - Ricky Wilson!

Paloma Faith!

Boy George!

And Mr will.i.am!

Join us next Saturday, when we go live!

Oh!

And don't forget,

it's you and the coaches continuing the mission to find

-The Voice. Goodnight.

-Goodnight.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Next week is The Lives.

-This is what it's all about -

take a risk, be brave.

-It's the ultimate test.

-This is real pressure.

# This night ain't for the faint of heart

# Cos the faint of heart are gonna fall apart... #

-They have to be fierce.

-I want to see 100% emotional dynamic.

Sitting in that chair, it's kind of intense.

-Whoa!

-You're just so beautiful!

They just have to be the best.

It's not just about singing.

It's about survival.
