Live Semi-Final The Voice UK

These are the Semi Finals and we are Live!

Let's bring on our superstars and their teams!

Keep calm, the boys are back in town, it's Ricky Wilson!

The boy and his one-off wonders, it's Boy George!

Prepare yourselves for a triple dose of girl power, it's Paloma Faith!

And the pop Jedi Master with street force, it's Will.i.am!

Let's hear it for our Coaches and their Live semi-finalists.

We're loud, we're live and we're loving it!

Those eight semi-finalists have everything to sing for tonight.

First they'll perform solo, then they'll join their Coaches

for an amazing group number all to win your support.

Tonight, for the first time the Coaches have no power

Because your votes alone will decide which four singers will go

We'll give you voting details throughout the show but it

won't open until all our Artists have sung their solo songs.

If you do try and vote before then the vote won't count and you may

So, are you ready to get behind your favourites?

Over there are four excited but slightly worried Coaches,

as by the end of the night one or more of them could be out

Ricky, each Coach has two acts, how are you feeling about tonight?

We are pretty much equal no underdogs now. The only thing to

separate the acts is their voice. I trust the people at home, they will

vote for the best singers. If you want to vote for Jolan, or anywhere

else... Just remember what they sound like and think about who you

want to win. First up, it is Kevin. The first live performance was a bit

mad. Just a great experience. Kevin, his performance on Saturday was

amazing. Your voice is one of the best in the music industry.

Liberty X when the audience and it was great to have them there

supporting me. So proud. I cried like a baby after his performance.

You did not watch me in the pubs and clubs in Chorley! How did you feel?

It was good. Since moving to London for The Voice I have been away from

my wife and kids and I miss them. But I know they're watching and that

gives me inspiration to try to do well.

Today I was just cleaning the flat and got a knock on the door.

My little boys were there and my wife and my mum. It was unreal, I

could not believe it. Seeing my boys has made the weeks

being away worthwhile. It is the perfect pick me up to get me ready

for this week. Kevin misses his wife and kids but this is something he

had to do for them. He is coming out of his shell and just enjoying

himself. I just could not wait to perform again. Let's go and do it!

For Team Ricky singing Rolling in The Deep, it's Kevin!

# There's a fire starting in my heart.

# Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark.

# Finally I can see you crystal clear.

# Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.

# See how I leave with every piece of you.

# Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

# There's a fire starting in my heart.

# The scars of your love remind me of us.

# They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.

# The scars of your love, they leave me breathless.

# You're gonna wish you never had met me.

# Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep.

# You had my heart inside of your hand.

# You're gonna wish you never had met me.

# Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep.

# You're gonna wish you never had met me.

# Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep.

# You had my heart inside of your hand.

APPLAUSE. What a way to start the show! Well done.

It's the time in the show where we thank our fantastic

Voice Band - David Tench and The Private Booths.

on my chair dancing! The crowd loved it. What did you think? It is a good

start, such a good start that you made it impossible for anyone else

to sing, we should just go to a break! It was amazing. You looked so

confident. We chose a more upbeat song, we do not want people to start

questioning if you just sticking to that balance to get through. You did

it perfectly, everyone was up on their feet. Just remember how it

sounded at the end of the show. George, should this guy

be back in the charts? Calmed down, there are some great

people coming up! We have only just started! You are amazing, Kevin. For

you to future is about finding who you are as an artist. Your voice is

incredible. When I hear Kevin sing I am confused

as to why you do not have a career. I just do not get it. There's a lot

to what George said. Unfortunately the industry is really complex, it

is not really about how well you sing but this other mystery thing

that you've got to unlock. When people let you into their hearts and

their homes. You have that, you are a really nice guy but it is how you

connect those. Because you sing, you have this voice that can move

matter. You sing and a statue shows up! Paloma, does Kevin have that

other thing? He is exceptional. My heart lies with Jordan and Heather

obviously. And I hope everyone at home votes for them. But I really

thought you did yourself proud. Basically we are now in space. Just

in space with Kevin. And that is a great way to start the show.

Amazing, well done. Taken of the details on screen now if you think

Kevin should be here next week. But the vote will not open until the

acts have all performed solo songs. For now please put your hands

together for the amazing Kevin. As always Marvin is up in his lair.

What have you got tonight? I'm going to be grilling the coaches and

reacts with questions you have been sending in all week. And I will not

be letting them off lightly. If you want to get involved, head to the

dashed to The Voice UK website is to grab and twitter. And you can wait

all the performances on The Voice UK act. Now it is ready for the next

act. Coming from Team will. I am over the moon. Still buzzing.

On the first live show Lyrickal was awesome. It was true, it was from

the heart. Thank you so much, it was awesome. I made the right decision

picking you. Thank you, seriously. To hear Will saying he believes in

the is an amazing feeling. He never really had a break and I'm happy

that he is on the show, living his dream. The public reaction has been

crazy. People recognise me just out and about. You either man, of luck.

People follow me and they just want to hang out, do the big box.

People are really showing me so much love. I love the guy, raw talent.

Hope he goes all the way. I have been smiling ever since! Hanging out

with Will, an amazing buzz. Especially when he tells me stories

about legends like James Brown. I met him. You do not call each other

by your first name, you say Mr. Whatever happens I have been blessed

to represent Team will. All the way. For Team Will singing

See You Again, it's # It's been a long day

without you, my friend. # And I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again. # We've come a long way

from where we began. # Oh, I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again. # When you've lost somebody

who was close to you. # Daddy never lived

to see what I can do. # When I'm feeling down

and teary eyed I know I can. # It's been a long day

without you, my friend. # And I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again . # We've come a long way

from where we began. # Oh, I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again . # Who knows how much time

we have and where we'll go. # So I appreciate all the good

people in my life for sure. # So I cherish love

and I cherish life. # And I try to make it

through another night. # If you could see me now,

would you be proud. # It's been a long day

without you, my friend. # And I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again. # We've come a long way

from where we began. # Oh, I'll tell you all about it

when I see you again. Absolutely wonderful. You OK?

So much emotion pours out of him on stage doesn't it, Will? Last week,

you were really emotional and teary and this week, even more so. So much

personal stuff, you know, I can identify with the words in the song.

I've got that to experience unfortunately, but I'm giving this

to everyone else, we can all help each other to get through these

things, you know. Are you proud tonight, Will? You know, there are

great singers on the show and, then there's that extra talent, that

extra umph and singers can mimic really well and trace really well.

But, these people that are on my team, Lyrickal is an architect. He

wrote those verses. It's one thing to say I'm gonna sing this person's

song and it's another thing to say I'm gonna sing this person's song

and insert my soul in with that and this's what we get here with

Lyrickal, thank you so much. Rickie, impressed? Always am. Not only are

you amazing as a singer, but backstage you are a gentle man and

you give us such an amazing vibe. I read earlier you wrote on Twitter

that you woke up this morning, it was the biggest day of your life and

I just think, to be able to recognise that and know that, it

shows how much you want and need this. You have always wanted to show

people the real you and you have done that tonight. Loved it, well

done. APPLAUSE. How would you sum him up,

Paloma? I think he's so real. We have seen from him talking to people

in the street and everyone responds so well to you. I'm not going to

speak about you like you're not here, but it's really moving to see

someone who's just like so themselves all the time. That's what

I think makes a great artist. And George, he is the guy with the

experience, isn't he? Do you think he's giving our 20-somethings a run

for their money? He has a lovely soul break in his voice, there's

something very real about the way he sings. I would have pitched that

song down a bit because I think you were struggling a little bit but you

are a beautiful singer, you have a beautiful soul voice and I wish you

all the luck in the world. APPLAUSE. If you want Lyrickal to

become a finalist, you can vote later. The four artists with the

highest number of viewer votes go through to the final regardless of

whose team they are on. Again, another fantastic and emotional

performance, get yourself over there to Marvin and have a sit down. Put

your hands together for Lyrickal! APPLAUSE

This week it was back home and back in time for Paloma's next

Skub The Live quarter-final went so well. I was so proud. The

performance was absolutely beautiful. I managed to get through

on a public vote. I don't really know how that happened. I didn't

think really anybody liked me. I could never ever have thought this

would happen to me. I've been working so hard on The Voice and at

school so it's lovely to go home for the Easter holidays.th. Nice to be

home? Yes. It must be if you are making me tea. I love hanging out

with my mum. We get along so well and have a really good relationship.

Heather and I get on really well. We do banter quite a lot. She'll hate

me using that word. You said the word "banter". You lost your teeth,

that's why you are pulling such a funny smile. My mum is so supportive

of me, it just means so much. I'm so happy that I'm still Heather and

she's still standing. Her piano rehearsal was interesting. She was

finding it hard to pick a song. You need to go home and may with them

and come back. Can I suggest some more ideas? We haven't really got

time for that, tomorrow we need the band to know it. This is not

stressful at all! Don't panic. I don't like either of them. We need

to commit to something. I don't know. . It's been tough to pick a

song. Hopefully this is the right choice and hopefully it will be

enough to get me through to the final.

APPLAUSE. # You gotta go and get angry

at all of my honesty. # You know I try but I don't do too

well with apologies. # 'Cause I just need one more

shot at forgiveness. # Is it too late now to say sorry?

# I know that I let you down # Is it too late to say I'm sorry

now? # Sorry, yeah...

# I'm sorry. # I'll take every single piece

of the blame if you want me to. # But you know that there is no

innocent one in this game for two. # I'll go, I'll go and then you go,

you go out and spill the truth. # Can we both say the words

and forget this?. # 'Cause I'm missing more

than just your body, oh. # Yeah, I know-oh-oh,

that I let you down. # Is it too late to

say I'm sorry now?. # Yeah, I know-oh-oh,

that I let you down. # Is it too late to

say I'm sorry now?. APPLAUSE.

Thank you. Well done! Politics Show that? ! Heather, I am so ecstatic

everybody, are you? ! -- Paloma. I I thought that was so

wonderful. You are completely coming out of your shell, we are seeing a

journey. I'm so grateful to George for bringing you into the

competition in the first place so I could steal you. You should be very,

very proud of that. Spectacular! Everybody vote for Heather!

George, it's a close competition this year. Do you think Heather has

what it takes? What we know is someone great is going to win, that

is the good news. Paloma is the adoptive parent. I had to give you

over to Paloma. A wonderful job. The last two performances you have

really nailed it. You have really shown us what you can do and God

bless you, you're amazing. Thank you.

Rickie Wilson, how do you think clever Heather did? I'm sorry. Yes,

it was great, Heather, you're amazing and last week, going through

the public vote gave you even more confidence this week and it really

showed. You proved that you are more than just clever Heather and, let me

think of a better one, Treasure Heather, there you go. It means

more! Treasure! Will, what do you think

the Bieber would think of Heather's performance? I would have went with

heavenly Heather because that was like angelic. Thank you!

Is that how you would sum up her performance this evening? Yes.

Wonderful. What a nice way to end. If you want to see Heather back

in the finals her details But hold fire for now as the votes

aren't open just yet. And remember you can vote for free

by registering online. Time for you to run

up to the V Room. Now, gorgeous George,

I am making my way over to you. Normality has never been an option

for you so what can we expect For Team Boy George

singing 'The Chain' it's What can we expect? First of all,

what is normal? Exactly. Remember like Heather Cody is one of the

youngest, 18 years old, she's just, you know, a real good spirit. Of

course I love her and I think she's amazing and I want people to vote

for her because she's a real artist. A appropriator real artist. That's

what we develop in this great country. That's what we do best. So

tonight, from your team, going to see great artists? Yes. In the true

sense of the word, I believe. Shall we crack on? Let's crack on!

For Team Boy George singing 'The Chain' it's

It's been an emotional week for Team Cody. When I saw you last night you

were pretty upset? It was the biggest performance I've ever done.

I was thinking, this is out of key. # I won't cry for yesterday... #

You were out of your comfort zone? Yes. It was kind of messy, you are

going to come back stronger. It was an awful night.

I gave Cody the fast pass because I wasn't going to give up on her.

She's 18 years old. It's nice to know that he has faith many me. I

know what you are capable of, that's why you went through. There are lots

of things we need to work on. Amazing to have Boy George as a

coach. My mum is a fan and bought me Boy George records. Mum and my whole

family was really excited to see George. I'm just proud obviously.

Words fail me, they really do. This week, it's game on because I want to

get to where I was before. I'm probably still going to be nervous

but I'm thinking about it now and hoping for the best. There's been

tears, mascara running, but this is your comeback performance OK? My mum

says women live longer because they cry so carry on crying, OK. I really

want you to have an amazing performance next week.

For Team Boy George singing 'The Chain' it's

APPLAUSE That was amazing! It was amazing. George, you said

this week was going to be the comeback. It was amazing. Look how

happy I look. I am the happiest person. Amazing. Thank you.

Paloma, do you think she has done enough to make it to next week? I

would buy her album tomorrow, I have been telling her that from the

beginning. I wanted to be on my Team. I'm such a big fan and I think

it was amazing. Well done. Will, last week you said it was good that

she had a bit of a wobble, because it keeps you going. Do you think she

has pulled back this week and got back on top of her game? Speaking

honestly, no BS, at first I was like, what, then I was like, well.

Is that your song # you just got away with something but I do not

think most contestants could think about, to play a song that people

may be do not really get, to where it really seems like it was your

record. Then I was looking at you, wait a second, of course. He is the

label out like a magnet that draws in all the freaks! You got me! That

was really, really, whatever happens, you just took over. I think

he liked it! Ricky, did you like it? She knows what I think of her, she's

amazing. It is incredible, someone so down-to-earth and funny back

chain -- behind-the-scenes could have a voice that is so galactic

onstage! So, if you want Cody to become

a finalist you'll need to vote later And don't forget you can vote

for free by registering But for now, get yourself

up to the room of V's, Nets make some noise! Well done. If

you make it through next week, Heather, you will be the youngest

finalist on The Voice. It would be amazing. I'm just having the best

time, I do not want it to end. You've been sending in your weird

and wonderful Marvin Asks all week, Kevin, Katrina wants to know who

would play you in a film and why. I think you will be paid by Kevin.

Went did you start beat boxing M many moons ago!

It is my style! I love the jacket as well. Cody, Emma wants to know if

you sing in the shower and if so, what do you think? I do not think in

the shower, I think it is really weird! For a start it is a bath.

Lydia, what did she think? I did not recognise it! Thank you so much,

more of you later on. Now, I'm here with Mr Will.i.am,

as the next solo performance comes You have been here a long time on

this show, but this be the closest semifinal we have had? A lot of the

singers should have records. It is close, I think Lydia is the

superstar of the show. And I'm lucky to have a super, megastar. The

incredible Lyrickal. I cannot do what he does!

Next to take the stage for Team Will it's Lydia.

Lydia is spectacular. She is a star. She has everything. I loved every

second of it. To have my family supporting me, I

was just over the moon. Your sister is shining down on you. Giving you

all her love. My sister passed away when she was nine years old. Her

name was Lucy. She would have loved this and hopefully she is watching

me. Sorry. This week I wanted to do something

in memory of her. I would like to sing I'll Be There from the Jackson

five. It is her birthday on Friday, so I wanted to do something for

that. Let's give it a go. It is going to be great. She's someone I

would work with in the studio. We'll is a genius. He has changed

the song a bit. I love it. This week Lydia is going to dig deep inner

heart and explain why she is who she is. It just means something and

hopefully I will do my family proud. For Team Will singing

'I'll Be There' it's Lydia! # You and I must make a pact,

we must bring salvation back. # Where there is love,

I'll be there. # Let me fill your heart

with joy and laughter. # Togetherness, well

that's all I'm after. # Whenever you need

me, I'll be there. # And oh - I'll be

there to comfort you,. # Build my world of dreams around

you, I'm so glad that I found you. # I'll be there with

a love that's strong. # I'll be your strength,

I'll keep holding on - I know you are there.

I think about all the memories. I have your spirit around me.

I want to get to the top, make you proud.

I'll Be There. # Just call my name

and I'll be there. # Just call my name

and I'll be there. Will, tell us why she should be in

the final. Once again, following the genius of

Lyrickal, she also wrote those extra bits that you heard on the song.

Adding her into a classic. Like I said, a lot of singers can sing but

when another singer comes in and puts their life into something we

already loved, she deserves to be out there in the world, being a

magnet and drawing people in. You were doing that little hand dance in

the chair! She hit the high note, that is my response. Hit a high

note! Can you believe that such a powerful voice comes from such a

delicate little thing? You just made it very difficult for everyone at

home. People thought they had their minds made up and you blew them out

of the water. That was an incredible performance. You either want beat.

She really gave it 100% tonight. And your sister would be so proud. That

was my first farming. It felt you were living, in every pore of your

body, on behalf of you and her. So really well done. George, talk to me

about her age. It is quite ridiculous. It is kind of

ridiculous. But also amazing. But someone so small can reach those

notes. If you want to support

Lydia then make a note But you can sit back and relax

for a moment as voting doesn't open until all eight of our acts have

performed their solo songs. and you're are performing

with them later - what are you most

looking forward to? They're amazing and I feel quite

humbled and I think, I have to be good. Well you are good, you are

Paloma Faith. Everyone doubts themselves, don't they? You don't

need so, you are brilliant. Thank you, so are you.

You have a lot of Faith in your next act. It's Jordan.

Good morning. I thought your performance was absolutely

brilliant. The live quarter-final was amazing. Jordan absolutely tore

it up. It showed her to be the Ike onnonic performer that she is. -- ie

conic performer that she is. I gave Jordan the fast pass because I

genuinely believe she's an absolute star. I'm in the semi-finals, my

life has completely changed. I was invited to perform at the

national transgender awards which is a massive honour. Ladies and

gentlemen, Miss Jordan Grey! Jordan's representing the community

in an amazing manner. It's really nice to see someone who's

transgender representing this in the media. I'm so proud to have Jordan

on my team. Maybe that's one for the final. Yes. Initially she was coming

in defined by being transgender and now she's defined by being an

artist. I have to absolutely nail this, not gist for myself. I'm going

to give this song exactly what it needs, nothing more and nothing

less, and hope that it's enough to get me through to the final.

# Man I'm just tired and bored with myself.

# Hey there baby, I could use just a little help.

# You can't start a fire without a spark.

# even if we're just dancing in the dark.

# there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me.

# I'll shake this world off my shoulders.

# and they'll be carving you up alright.

# hey baby I'm just about starving tonight.

# I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book.

# come on now baby gimme just one look.

# You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart.

# Even if we're just dancing in the dark.

# You can't start a fire worrying about your little

# Hey baby. dancing in the dark.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. . Jordan, wow, that was amazing.

Brilliant. Did you enjoy it? Yes, yes. You are out of breath aren't

you? A little bit, yes. Let's give you a second and we'll go to Paloma.

There's no-one quite like her? She makes me happy. Thank you, it was a

celebration of existence and humanity and you stand for all those

things and you're stunning. It was a little shaky but I believe in

everything on this stage. Human beings are shaky, life is shaky and

you get up and you're off again and making us feel joy and I'm so proud

to be associated with you. Rickie, a bit of sparkle? ! Yes, you gave

Springsteen a spring clean! Again, you say you're proud, I have so much

misplaced pride for you. I don't know, I'm just proud of you. It was

amazing, there was not one stop pulled out and not one stop pulled

on. You blew everyone away again, what a performance. Every week she

gets up here and puts everything into what she's doing on stage. What

did you think? First of all, I love the outfit. I have to say that. It

is important in my world to love the outfit. For me, you're just so ahead

in terms of being a performer, you are the real deal, I can see you on

Broadway doing massive show, you're really a seasoned performer and it's

really exciting to watch you. If we lived in a fair and just world,

you'll probably win the show. Thank you. I mean, I would try a bit but I

wouldn't try that much if you won, but I think you are amazing. A lot

of love in the ram for her tonight. What do you think? It looks like she

shredded the stage, because she just came in and whoop, came in particles

and splattered all over the place, really awesome. Thank you very much.

Jordan wants to be in the final, but only YOU can put her there.

Her details are on the screen now, but keep those fingers away from any

phones or computers for just a moment as the vote won't open

Right, get yourself up Marvin's Masionette -

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. .

Still to come tonight - Zara Larsson and Tinie Tempah

will be performing, and the brilliant

Plus of course our Coaches will sing with their acts for the very first

But now, they say that behind every great man is a great woman,

something our next act knows all about right?

When I hear him sing, I think about the fact that I'm moved. The live

quarter-finals was definitely an experience. It was exciting to dress

up a bit. One of the best voices in the show. Freaky Greek stuff right

there, that was awesome. I'm Scottish as well. I'm not Greek. I

hope all the Greek people will vote for him.

Through to the semi-final is... La-la-la... Vangelis. I used to sing

many my bedroom, now I'm in the semi-final. It's incredible. I've

missed my mum a lot this week so I decided to take a break from

rehearsals. This is a surprise, you never said you were coming. Just in

time to help me do the cleaning. No. Yes! I was like "what? ! " Just

because he's on the Voice, doesn't mean he doesn't have to help me do

the cleaning. She brings me back down-to-earth. Don't get too

comfortable. It's lovely, I miss home. This is where I'm meant to be

and she wants me to be here, she's really proud of me. His journey from

the bedroom to national TV has been swift, but if you are looking for

the Voice, then you know, he's got to be a very strong contender.

For Team Boy George singing 'Beautiful'

# Then suddenly it's hard to breathe..

# From all the pain, I'm so ashamed..

# I am beautiful no matter what they say..

# I am beautiful in every single way..

# To all your friends you're delirious.

# The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone.

# You are beautiful no matter what they say.

# Words can't bring you down....oh no.

# You are beautiful in every single way.

# Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no.

# So don't you bring me down today....

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Are you OK? That doesn't get any

easier. How were the nerves beforehand? Gosh, I can't even

speak. I was just so nervous, but I put everything into it. You are

shaking. I know. Stay with me, let's go to George. Beautiful song,

beautiful voice, I mean he just makes me melt. He does. He's like my

new Julio Iglesias with a bit of Demis spst Rousos and Nana spst

Miskouri. You throw it out and it's so beautiful. You really nailed

that, you were so nervous but did yourself so proud.

Paloma, he always manages to just make it look effortless as well?

Yes, I feel like there is so many people, me included, watching and

thinking, I could learn so much from you. He doesn't give too much nor

too little. He's straddling that line of control that's perfect and

I'm definitely taking note to learn. Thank you, it's beautiful. Thank

you. Will? How do you think the Greek God did? Really? Yes,

Greek/Scottish? You mean Zeus with the kilt? Yes, perfect! Probably

Aphrodite, but I don't know. With a kilt! Maybe. Well, you kilt it!

LAUGHTER Ricky, Christina Aguileria

can belt out a tune - Obviously I'm very close to

Christina and we share a dry cleaners. If you keep belting 'em

out like that, you will keep catching 'em and keep going.

Amazing, you are a great singer. Only you can put Vangelis

into next week's final, and his details are

on the screen now. But sit on those itchy fingers

as voting won't open until all the Artists

have performed their Marvin is waiting

for you in the V room. Our final solo performance tonight

comes from Wilson's Wonderboy. Come here. Do you remember last

night! A little bit! The performance on Saturday was spot on. He looked

comfortable and he sang brilliantly. I had such adrenaline and hopefully

that showed in the performance. It was the Grammy moment. Standing on

stage waiting to hear who's going to go through is nerve wracking. I was

ready to go home and then my name was read out. I could not believe

it. I could not believe how light Ricky was as well! Nanna is proud of

you. I have done it for everyone. My family. Family support has been

amazing, it is one of the most important things in life with what

has happened, they have always been there. I love to spend time with my

grandparents. Every morning I go for the papers in the local garage and

someone is asking all the time. His mum would be so proud of him today.

To see him on the stage with all these stars. He's realising his

ambition. It makes you want to cry at times. You must be so proud of

yourself, your family are proud, your girlfriend is proud. The next

performance is vital. It is within touching distance. Everyone is good

enough to get in and I just need to show something else. That is what

I'm planning to do. Don't forget after Jolan's

performance we will be opening the vote so you can get

behind your favourites. Does that make you nervous as the

reigning champion? It has just dawned on me that both of them could

go home. And I could have a week of! You would still be here! Always

trying to get out of things. Then I thought it is a big ask for the

people at home. We really need them to vote, people do not sell through

on good feelings but on actual votes. Whoever is your favourite,

from whichever Team, you must vote. That is all but I can ask. Thank

you. You're looking very smart tonight!

For Team Ricky singing 'Purple Rain' - it's Jolan!

# I never meant to cause you any sorrow.

# 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.

# I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain.

# Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing.

# It's time we all reach out for something new.

# But you can't seem to make up your mind.

# And let me guide you to the purple rain.

# I only want to see you, only want to see you.

Yes! Ricky Wilson, your face is saying it all. He covered Prince and

he nailed it. Flawless. There is no end to his talent. It is endless, it

is like Avatar, it does on and on. I hope you go through because you

deserve to play again and you deserve for people to hear you. If

that does not good, I do not know what will! Paloma, you have

performed with Prince. What did you think about version? You were built

to sing that song. It just blew my mind. So good. I think, I really

want to see you in the final next week. I thought that was brilliant.

George, did he owned it? He did. I'm a huge fan of Prince and what good

song choice. Great to hear a Prince song. You are an amazing singer, I

tried to get you on my Team. I think you did a great job, amazing. Well,

last week who said it was a Grammy performance. What about this week?

It was a Brits performance. You wrapping them up every week! Thank

you very much. All Jolan's details are on screen if

you want to give him your support. The vote opens very soon so just

hold on tight for a moment. And don't forget you can vote

modern full stop -- Martin. The internet has been on fire

with your bonkers and bizarre Marvin Asks this week and I've got

some burning questions Arabella wants to know if the

coaches came for a dinner party, what would you cook? I suppose there

could be at least 12 dicky eaters so I would play it safe and provide a

comprehensive selection of sandwiches. Lydia, Jena asks can we

hear some of your wrapping skills! I did a bit on stage but I could do

something else. I could do a Yeovil. -- yodel. And when did you first

perform in public? I was 11, not embarrassing at all! My mum was

there. And last question, if you could have any pet in the world,

what would it be? I always wanted a dolphin. I have always wanted to

touch one. And probably a penguin as well. And will fund the dog. --

Wilson the dog. Don't forget if you've got any

questions that you want me to ask any of the Acts or Coaches,

however obscure, send them in via all the usual ways,

from another team to go Who do I like? Cody. And I like

Lyrickal. George, apart from your Team? Jordan. And Will.i.am quester

George pressured me, it would be Cody. Paloma? Cody and Jolan. The

already, get voting. Ok, let's crack on with the moment

all our acts have been dreaming of - First up tonight it's Team Ricky -

and can we get a re-wind To prepare us for the group song I

decided to give my Team a treat. We are here to meet my friend, Craig

David. Craig David is the epitome of someone who keeps going, keep

fighting. That is something Kevin has done. Jolan came to the boys,

did not get through. To come back is harder. So Craig was the perfect

person for them to meet. It was phenomenal to meet Greg Davies. He

is a soul legend. I saw you with the audition. Boy George flipping his

chair round! It was lovely to see the boys come and see me perform.

For them to be on stage in front of millions, it is amazing. You have

got the talent most people would die for. After the chat with Craig I

thought we needed to let our hair down and we are going go-karting.

With myself, Jolan and Ricky, we get on really well. It helps us that we

can have a laugh with it all. (! . To sing with Ricky is awesome.

To have that much fun on stage, it is going to be brilliant. The Team

performance is going to be a doddle and it is a privilege for me because

I get to sing with some really great singers. We had a great day, we met

Craig David, we went go-karting. What next? See you later! Don't

forget that the vote is open. Singing 'Power of Love' -

please welcome Jolan, # The power of love

# Is a curious thing # Make one man weep

# Make another man sing # Change your heart

# To a little white dove # The feeling, that's the power of

love # Diamonds rich like cream

# Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream

# Make 'em go all right # Power of love will keep you home

at night # Don't need money

# Don't take fame # Don't need no credit card to ride

this train # It's strong

# Can be cruel sometimes # But it might just save your life

# That's the power of love! # The power of love

# First time you feel it # Might make you feel sad

# Next time you feel it # Might make you mad

# You'll be glad baby # What you found

# It's the power of love makes the world go round

# Don't take money # Don't take fame

# Don't need to credit card to ride this train

# It's strong # Can be cruel sometimes

# Might just save your life # They say that all in love is fair

# Yeah but you don't care # You'll know what to do

# When it gets hold of you # And with a little help from above

# You'll feel the power of love. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

That looked like so much fun. Yeah, can we do it again? No, you've had

your time. Kevin, this band here, slightly different from your

previous one? Got more facial hair. Much more. Which was more fun

though? What do you mean? The last band or this one? This one!

# We are still sexy... Stop doing the grinding. I can't

help it. What have you learnt from Rickie during the Voice? Confidence.

He's probably the most confident front man ever. We just feed off his

energy, it's brilliant. Pretty amazing isn't he, Rickie Wilson?

Yes. Put your hands together for Jolan, Cameron and Rickie!

Now time for the trio with a passion for fashion -

I took them down memory lane, a little journey through my wardrobe.

Hello. Welcome. It's good to show them where you can take things

dramatically in terms of what you wear on stage. You have to have

great costumes. I really didn't expect to walk in and see all of his

amazing outfits. They are like works of art. This is my current stylist.

What I love particularly about this is the milk bottle tops. That's

cool. It's really cool to see the changes that someone can make. It

encourages me to always keep people guessing. I was worried that Cody

would run off with some of my costumes. I love a cape! I want to

wear this. It encourages me to be more risky with my style. I worked

with Dolly Parton when I wore this. Met Margaret Thatcher in that. Maybe

in 20 years' time we might have a Cody exhibition. Vangelis might be

dripping in diamonds like Liberachi. Then we are going to talk about what

we wear on Saturday night. Hi, guys. What ideas have you got? It would be

nice to throw a bit of colour in there. Last week for the first lives

was paired back a bit because of the dress and I missed that a bit. What

about Vangelis? I feel jackets are your thing. George is known for his

own style. It was a real privilege to have him there. That's good. I

like it. Saturday night here we come. It will be epic. It inspired

us to come up with some ideas for Saturday for what we are going to

wear when we sing with George. Don't forget the vote is still open

for all of our artists. But now, singing the Culture Club classic

Victims, please Welcome Cody and V Boy George. Also Vangelis.

# Push aside those that whisper never.

# Wishing we could spend it together.

Absolutely stunning. Wowsers. You finally got to perform with Boy

George. Was it everything you hoped for? Oh, my God, it's been amazing.

I can't even explain it, it's so great. My favourite song as well.

Oh! So it made your night? Yep. Good. Vangelis, you were earlier so

nervous about your performance, how nervous were you performing with

George? I felt more relaxed being with him. Great to sing two Boy

George songs on the show. Amazing to sing with Boy George and also Cody

because she's amazing. I could listen to your voice to the end of

time, I just love it. Two of my songs and I didn't pay him either,

amazing. Are these your surrogates now? They both did astounding

tonight. I hope they get voted for because they were amazing.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.

Put your hands together for Cody, Vangelis and Boy George!

Time for a ladies' afternoon tea for three -

This week, to prepare my girls for the group performance, I set up a

little team bonding. Thank you so much. This is so sweet.

It's actually really lovely. You deserve it because it's not all

work. We have to play too. Today we got a bit of down time with Paloma

which was really lovely. How do you feel about us singing together? . It

will be great. We'll do well. We'll draw confidence from you. Bucked

loads. After this, I'm going to take you to meet Leanne LeHavre. Oh, my

God, I love her! I've known Leanne for nearly ten

years. We began with her being one of my backing vocalists. I tried not

to be too crazy when I met her. You're my alarm clock! You wake me

up in the morning. Feels like it didn't really happen!

My myth was so dry, I realised I had my mouth open the whole time. I used

to sing with Paloma and I feel like I've got something in common with

the ladies, I wish the girls all the luck. Hallelujah

# I guess it wasn't good enough They are so amazing. Best of luck for the

rest of your careers. Best day I could have ever asked for. There is

so much solidarity in this team, we are ready to make our mark in this

competition. The vote is still open for all our artists.

Singing 'Piece of my Heart'- please welcome Jordan,

# Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

# Didn't I make you feel like you were the only

# An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman

# And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough.

# But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

# I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it.

# Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

# Break another little bit of my heart now,

# Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.

# You know you got it if it makes you feel good.

# You're out on the streets looking good.

# And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know

# Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night.

# But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain.

# But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

# I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!

# Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.

# Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,.

# Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.

# You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Yes, girls. Look at you as well with your costume change! We are doing

power women tonight. Good, power to the women! Heather, what are your

mates at school going to say when they see you have performed with

Paloma Faith? They are going to be really jealous and I'm probably

never going to stop talking about it. So amazing. I'm never going to

stop talking about singing with Heather and Jordan. They have time

to get used to it. What has it been like for you, Jordan, how have you

found working with Paloma? Oh, my God, she's incredible. A bit of

banter with Paloma turns into life-changing advice and that's the

best thing about her, she's our musical Oracle. You are an Oracle.

I'm worried she thinks I am because I might lead her astray but I'm

delighted so receive the compliment. I hope everyone at home is voting

for these two ladies, as we speak. The three of you have a real genuine

bond? We do. We really get on and there's so much camaraderie between

us and we just really want the best for each other and that just goes on

the life in general, not just the show.

Let's hear it for Jordan, Heather and Paloma!

Next up, it's a family affair for the all rapping,

singing, thrilling mash up that is Team

We had no idea where we were going. We ended up at a hotel where you

would never expect to get through the door is! Good to see you. To be

greeted with afternoon tea and cakes, it was just really nice. Some

people I want you to meet to take it to the next level. I wondered if we

would be introduced to some important music people. It was just

so emotional. I did not know what to say. Family is very important.

Grandmother and mother, so important. I cannot wait for

Saturday, we are going to do a really cool song. It was like the

mad Hatters tea party with my grandma and with Will.i.am! It was

so special. You wonder if you're going to wake up. Your son is

amazing, he has got what it takes. If I say so myself! Hammamet so

sweet. I remember you, I was always into music. Dotty would love to be a

member of will! This is my song... Family means everything to me. I had

a great time today. We're going to go out there and have such a good

time. We're going to tear the place down. The vote is up but voting will

be closing soon. So if you want your far-out

favourite in that final make sure Don't forget the vote is open

not know about this! It was the old school moment rocking with my new

school folks. I am feeling it! Me to! Do you think your family are

going to be out tonight? I'm so happy I got the chance to perform

with Will.i.am. Thank you so much. It looked as if you are having an

Give it up for tiny Tempah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

Tiny Tempah! Welcome to the Voice. Thank you. Did you enjoy it? I

enjoyed it very much. Very much. We've loved having you, thank you so

much for being here. And tiny Tempah is with us! It's always good to see

you! Always good to see you too, Em. Thank you very much. ConGratz too.

Thank you very much. You guys have teamed up. What I need to know from

you, what advice would you give to our acts tonight? You have been

around for a while, you know what you're doing? First and foremost,

make some noise for all the acts tonight as well.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. The main thing is, just have fun,

it's not the end of the world. Your destiny is always in your hands,

no-one else's, so don't worry too much. Thank you so much for being

here and joining us on the Voice again. Zara thank you so much. An

absolute pleasure. Put your hands together for Zara Larsson and tiny

Tempah! Cheers, Em, what a performance. A full house of acts

here. Here are our coaches, everyone!

Paloma, come over here, my love. I have an important announcement to

make. Lighting, sound, audience, let's build the tension because, if

you haven't voted by now, you are too late because...

Yes, the vote is now closed. Please don't vote now, you may still be

charged an your vote won't count. The winners' single will be released

next week. How exciting was it for you George when you released your

first one? I tried to stop it coming out because I thought it was too

slow and went to number one in 36 countries. Which one? Do You Really

Want To Hurt Me. This is the first random ask. For Will, Geo wants to

know if you had a super power, what would it be? I have one. What is it?

Turning dreams into reality. Whoa. That's your iPad, man. I know,

it has a cover on it. Time Well Spent says, if you could listen to

one song all your life, what would it be? That is a really difficult

one. Something by Bowie, probably Life on Mars. Perfect, beautiful.

Love that. Nat says, if you could be any animal, Paloma, what would you

be? A giraffe. I'm the giraffe, I'm the one with the long neck. I'm

lacking in the neck department. I'm not, I'll give you some of mine, OK.

Rickie, Sharon asks what skill would you like to have that you haven't

mastered already? The Splits. Can anyone here do the splits. I can do

the splits. See ya later! You have a team of singers and

rappers, so if you could give Lydia and Lyrickal some rap moments, what

would they be? I want to name Lyrickal Lyrickal with the C because

the K is confusing. Just kidding. Their names are perfect. Lydia's

great, you could say Lid, put a lid on it. Good stuff. Thank you so

much. Don't forget if you've got

a question you want me to ask our acts and Coaches next

week then get in touch via all the usual ways

using the hash tag Marvin Asks. Now, here on The Voice

song choice is key! But what happens if you hate

the song your Coach has Song choice is everything. It's got

to have modern appeal. Got to be a classic. It's about the right song.

I wanted to try something a bit left field. Here is the lyrics. We

decided to play a joke. Do you know the song? I do, it's a really good

song. Old MacDonald had a farm? Yes. She was like, are you serious? ! I

want to see what you bring to it. I don't know if they are joking or

not. I worked on Rihanna's current record, she's doing Mary Had a

Little Lamb. What? ! Old MacDonald had a farm... I would do it like

this, e-i-e-i... Check me out... Old MacDonald had a farm. Jordan took to

it like a duck to water. Old MacDonald had a farm. Woo. On his

farm he had a cow. Right there it's a hit ready to make. On this farm he

had a... LAUGHTER

With a Kluk here With a cluck, cluck here. I'm

thinking you with a straw in your mouth. I really want you to believe

you are a duck. Do you think that would be a good song for the final?

I don't know, can I say no? Are you being real? Just a joke. Thanks,

everyone. I'm going home. It's not even a joke any more.

E-i-e-i-o! Those sneaky coaches.

And if you want to see the full length version of that prank then

But for now, the jokes are over and it's time to get serious.

So, let's welcome back our Semi Finalists!

the highest number of viewer votes will go through to next week's

them shortly. But for now, Lydia, head on over to the V Room, Marv is

waiting for you. How are they doing? Very good. Kevin can't believe it.

Kev, how are you feeling? I just can't believe it. I didn't think

this was going to happen. Just thanks so much everyone for voting

Thank you so much everyone. Bless you. We are going to find out who is

since and she's here with her new single Wild Horses, it's Birdy.

MUSIC - Wild Horses...

# I will survive and be the one who's stronger.

# I will move on and you should know I mean it.

# Our human hearts forget how strong they are.

# And they get lost along the way, hey.

# It's not giving up, it's letting go.

# I will survive and be the one who's stronger.

# I will move on and you should know I mean it.

# I will survive and be the one who's stronger.

# I will move on and you should know I mean it.

Let's hear it for the fantastic Birdy.

So, there are just two more places remaining

That's right, six Artists remain with only two places left

In no particular order, the next person the viewers have

From Team Lloyd George it is Cody! -- Boy George.

Well done. And the public has decided

who should take it. The last Artist who has secured

a place in next week's Final is... Congratulations you're

through to the final - go and celebrate with your

friends and family. Paloma have been a fantastic coach.

I still have got to sit here next week! All he wanted was to take them

through and have them in the final. Unfortunately this is where we say

goodbye to them. How has the Team for you, the journey? Just the best

time of my life. I'm so happy to have got here. No one be sorry for

me. How have you found it? Best experience of my whole life. The

first step on a long road. You will be hearing from them, is not over.

Has this given new confidence to perform on? Definitely, everyone

performed so well tonight and should be proud of themselves. Lyrickal,

can you sum up your experience? I've enjoyed every second, no regrets.

Never surrender. Keep going. You guys have been incredible. Heather,

Jordan, Vangelis and Lyrickal! Everyone is on the stage! Thank you

so much. It has been a fantastic night. Paloma, we will see you next

week. Thanks to the amazing Voice band
