ANNE-MARIE: We are halfway through the Blind Auditions...
TOM: And so far, we've heard some incredible singers.
THEY VOCALISE
Brrup, brrup, brrup!
Whoa, whoa!
I'm quietly confident that my team is shaping up very nicely.
You are AMAZING.
Wow. Got some awesome sauce on my team.
What the WHAT? Yeah!
I have some unbelievable singers on my team.
I LOVED it.
I have won some of the best singers on my team.
I think you're sick!
# Let's get together... #
But tonight... ..the Blind Auditions...
..continue. Watch out.
# Let's get together... #
We got a lot of spaces to fill,
and the winner could still be out there.
CHEERING Your voice is spectacular.
Wahey! Whoo!
I have to win, otherwise I'm just gonna cry all year.
Is that a bit too much?!
SHE SCREAMS
I love it!
The competition is stiff.
You all pick on me on here! Yeah, yeah!
Wow, what?! LAUGHTER
It's time to start turning.
Yeah! I can't wait.
Welcome to The Voice!
APPLAUSE
# This is The Voice! #
# I've been looking for Looking for, looking for... #
Manchester, are you guys ready?! SCREAMING
Make some noise for Olly Murs!
CHEERING
Here comes the legend himself, Sir... Tom... Jones!
CHEERING
Make some noise
for the karate-kicking, martial-arts-crunching...
..wicked songstress,
songwriter, singing like an angel, Anne-Marie!
SCREAMING
CHEERING
This is very uncomfortable
because I'm probably the first person
to ever have to introduce themselves...
LAUGHTER
Make some noise for the guy with the microphone
who's randomly talking about himself in the third person,
make some noise for me! CHEERING
WHISTLING
Lovely! Yeah.
What are you looking for tonight?
I wanna hear a Welsh female singer, you know? Ooh.
If I can. I want a group.
I feel a bit left out.
I need to find someone who's not scared to be themselves,
I would be like... Pow!
What about you? Unique.
Fingers crossed that they come. Well, we'll soon find out.
LAUGHTER
WHOOPING
I'm Daisy, I'm 24, I'm from Liverpool. I'm a music student.
# Wop-bop-a-loo-bop, a-lop-bom-bom Tutti frutti, oh, rootie... #
I live with me mum and me dog, Poppy.
Oh, she's lovely!
Me mum's like my best friend and my biggest fan.
Daisy didn't follow the norm.
She had her own identity in what she wants to wear.
Who wouldn't be proud to have a daughter like that?
MUSIC: 'Dancing In The Streets'
My love of vintage clothes came from being young
and watching black-and-white films.
# Calling out around the world... # It's just pure Hollywood glamour.
In school, I got made fun of for my shoes, wearing headscarves,
and singing all day. Everyone thought it was dead strange.
But life's too short to not do what you want!
# Sweet music... #
Even when people told me I was weird or I shouldn't sing,
or it's stupid to sing,
I always just did it anyway cos that's what I love to do,
so to be here in this moment now, just means so much.
Singing makes me feel alive. It's just like breathing.
I'll be nervous for you. I'll be nervous for you, too.
Yous'll be a bag of nerves together, then! We will!
# We fall into the dark... #
It means a lot to me to be here today.
I feel like this maybe could...
open a couple of doors for me, potentially.
We are set, ready for the first one.
WOMAN: OK, stand by, then. ANNE-MARIE WHISTLES
You OK? Nervous! Are you?
'Feels like a dream, to be honest. It's pretty scary!
'Because if I try and overthink it, I will just bottle it.'
I'm just gonna do the best I can because anything's possible.
# It's only been a moment It's only been a lifetime. #
MUSIC: 'In The Name Of Love'
# If I told you We could bathe in all the lights
# Would you rise up
# Come and meet me in the sky?
# Would you trust me
# When we're jumping From the heights?
# Would you fall In the name of love?
# When there's madness When there's poison in your head
# When the sadness Leaves you broken in your bed
# I will hold you In the depths of your despair
# And do it all in the name of love
# In the name of love
# I wanna testify
# Scream in the holy light
# You bring me back to life
# And it's all in the name of love
# I wanna testify
# Scream in the holy light
# Cos you bring me back to life
# And it's all in the name of love In the name of love
# In the name of love
# In the name of love... #
Tom's gonna go, look! Whoo!
CHEERING
What's your name?
Daisy!
Hey, Daisy. Hi!
Where you from, Daisy? I'm from Liverpool.
CHEERING
You did amazing. Thank you!
What brought you on the show? I've been singing for a long time
and just thought this would be my time
to actually push my boundaries and see what I could do, so...
Here I am! APPLAUSE
Your style is very different to the song you chose.
The way you look, is that the style of music you normally sing?
I love pop music, but, you know,
I dress very '50s, and everybody thinks
I'm gonna sing Elvis songs, and then I don't!
I just love expressing myself through fashion
and this is just the way... CHEERING
OLLY: That's OK.
How old are you? I'm 24.
You have a lovely voice. Thank you!
There's so many songs that you could do.
You know, you can sing. I mean, it's really, you know, it cuts.
Thank you so much. Loud and clear.
Your voice for me is very 2023, it's a current voice.
You know, it's what I hear on the radio now,
it's what I see on TikTok, what I hear on Spotify.
That's why I pressed my button. I absolutely love you. Well done!
Great performance. Yeah.
I agree. I think your voice is very current,
but I also could hear raw emotion at the start, which a lot of people,
they find it hard to connect with music like that.
I feel like we could give you any song,
and you'd be able to execute it perfectly.
So, yeah, I'm ecstatic you're here.
WILL: What's your influence? Who do you like? What do you listen to?
I love TLC, I love Anne-Marie, I do listen to a lot of Anne-Marie.
I love big singers like Christina Aguilera,
that was kind of where I learned to sing.
Any male solo artists? LAUGHTER
Robbie Williams! Oh, WHAT?!
LAUGHTER
Can I turn back?!
I'm only messing, Olly - I love you really! All right.
LAUGHTER
I would really like for you to be on my team.
Aside from me turning first... ANNE-MARIE: That's it!
WILL: Let's leave that out the way.
Your voice is spectacular,
and I don't have anything like you on my team.
I think you can add an awesome element of competition
to the rest of the singers they have on their teams.
So, strategically, you fit best here...
LAUGHTER
..to compete against those cats' singers.
ANNE-MARIE: OK, my turn.
I actually DON'T have anyone like you on my team.
WILL: True, this is actually true.
But strategically, you fit best here!
LAUGHTER
..because she WILL have something like you -
after you're on my team, she's gonna hunt for something like you.
LAUGHTER Anyway!
I would love you to be on my team. I think technically,
you might be the best we've heard.
So I would love you to be on my team.
We're all different, you know, in our own way,
but if you do come with me,
I'm looking forward to hearing what else you can do.
I'm curious, and I love the way you sing. That's a fact.
Sorry, Daisy... Just... Robbie? Hi.
Yeah, I'm just filming The Voice at the moment.
There's a girl that I don't think she's heard my music before, but...
LAUGHTER
..I'm trying to pitch for her to be on my team,
and I'm thinking Team Olly and Robbie for the series...
LAUGHTER
Cos she's really, really good. Yeah?
Robbie's up for it, so...
CHEERING
APPLAUSE
That is it - who you gonna pick? Who's gonna be your coach?
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT NAMES
Tom!
I think I'm gonna choose...
Team...
Tom! CHEERING
# My dreams come alive... #
Lovely! Wonderful. Lovely to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. OK. APPLAUSE
I mean, I walked in here full of confidence.
LAUGHTER
What a lovely lady she is,
wears what she wants, doesn't care what people think. Yeah.
Love it. Although she likes pop music,
her soul is married to the '50s. Yeah.
Yeah. That's her vibe, ever since she was a young girl.
And that's like... Tom Land. Yeah, it is.
You know what that era was like,
it must have been so special. Yeah, the '50s was great.
But the '60s were good, too! And the '70s! '70s were good.
LAUGHTER And the '80s were good!
No, it's all good. It's all good.
# This is The Voice! #
Hey, Tom. Yo.
Have you ever been rejected
in your path? Yeah, in talent shows and that.
Really? What?
What? One time, there was this ventriloquist,
and she wasn't very good, either. LAUGHTER
She beat me. One of these...?
"Gottle of geer." She BEAT you?
Yeah! A ventriloquist!
Unbelievable! You got beat by a dummy?
LAUGHTER
I got beat by a dummy, can you imagine?
Bet you're so excited. I am, really excited.
Hoping I don't bottle it. You won't! You'll be all right.
Fingers crossed.
My name's Albert, I am 18, and I'm from Leeds.
And I go to university there, doing music.
# Everyone I see just walks the walk With gritted teeth
# But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt... #
I try to stand out from the crowd.
I really like fashion and jewellery. I kind of dress unique.
With my jewellery, I've got obviously my rings,
bracelets, necklaces and earrings,
and the nails as well - everyone's like,
"Why have you got your nails painted?" I'm like... "Why not?"
# I jump on that lightning bolt. #
I've been singing for a while now.
Sang at a few weddings, get-togethers, parties.
I think the biggest audience I've ever sang to
is probably about 2,500 3,000 people.
When I sing, I really enjoy it, especially when I'm singing
to an audience cos I enjoy interacting with the crowd
and making a fool of myself on stage!
So this next song is dedicated to Margaret.
CHEERING
'I started singing in care homes the first lockdown.
'The residents are so happy.
'Some of them sometimes get up dancing and stuff,
'so it's just a really, really nice experience
'and we filmed it, put it on Facebook, and after that,
'I had loads of care homes messaging me, saying,
' "Can you come sing?" So I was like, "Yeah." '
Thank you! APPLAUSE
Amazing to think that three years ago,
you were just performing to 20 people in a care home in lockdown.
I'm hoping the coaches don't fall asleep
like they do in the care home! Ahhh!
'I'm feeling really excited about my audition today.'
Obviously, there's gonna be a bit of nerves,
but I think the excitement's overpowering
the nerves a bit, which is good.
# Please have mercy on me Take it easy on my heart... #
OK? Yeah. Nervous.
Are you? Good, though. Feel groovy.
I'm gonna walk out on stage,
and I'm just gonna treat it as my best performance I've ever done.
I'm just hoping I can go out and... smash it.
But yeah, it's a pretty big deal.
In three, two, one - on you go. Good luck.
# I need you to set me free I'm begging you for mercy
# Mercy Oh, I'm begging you
# I'm begging you, yeah. #
MUSIC: 'My Heart Goes'
# I won't waste your high Don't waste mine
# Mine
# If you want my trust Then take your time
# Your time
# Late in the evening I want ya
# I do what I got to To feel you with me

Oh, what?! APPLAUSE
That was a boy.
A boy. A boy?
MUSIC: 'Fine Line' by Harry Styles
Oh, no!
AUDIENCE: Ahhh.
Yeah, pretty gutted, not gonna lie. Pretty, pretty gutted.
Obviously, I was hoping for chairs to turn, but it wasn't my day.
So, you guys were also probably looking at the entire package.
So we're stripped away from that.
So try to close your eyes when you hear,
so you put yourselves in our shoes.
He probably has an awesome voice, but nerves probably took over him.
He basically started an octave lower
to show his range. But it was too low.
I quite liked it at the start, it kind of felt really different.
It was different, yeah. But it didn't really go anywhere for me.
It was an interesting start. It got my ears going, "Ooh, what's this?"
It's normally a dance record, isn't it?
Yeah. It's a big...
I like his bravery and take on making it super emotional.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Shame.
BACKSTAGE: Here we go, onto the next.
How are you feeling?
Probably too excited. Too excited? Calm down. Chill out.
Lookin' all right!
My name's Ryan Barton, I'm 31 years old, and I work for the NHS.
Hi, Janet. Cheers, Ryan.
I work in a place called the Medical Records Library,
it's where all patient records are held, and I just prepare them
ready for the doctor to see the patient.
Morning, Jill. Morning. Cheers for that, Ryan. Thanks.
I love it, it's a great job,
and I'm glad I work for the NHS. I'm proud of that.
That sounds nice.
I live with my wife, Jodie, and my two boys, Sonny and Brodie.
I think as a dad, I try and be strict,
but I really just don't have it in me at all.
Can Daddy have some of that toast? No!
That's not very nice, is it?!
Me and Jodie are actually childhood sweethearts.
She was in a year above me, and I used to follow her home from school,
not in a weird way, just because I fancied her, so, you know.
Let's go!
I'm very proud of Ryan. I think he's got a wonderful voice,
and I can't wait to see him on that stage.
Good luck, Daddy!
ALL: Ahhh! High five!
That's nice, yeah!
# We can be the champions We can own the night
# Yeah, might destroy us But we gotta try... #
I'm doing this for my boys, really.
I just wanna show them that if you really wanna do something,
you can do it. I hope I do them proud.
On you go, Ryan. Good luck.
I'm gonna go out there and leave everything on the stage,
and, you know, I really hope
that that's gonna be good enough to get a turn.
# This could be the greatest moment Of our lives
# Oh-ohhh
# We could be the champions We could own the night
# Oh-ohh
# This could be the greatest moment Of our lives. #
# I see the crystal raindrops fall
# And the beauty of it all
# Is when your love Comes shining through
# To make those rainbows In my mind
# When I think of you sometimes
# I wanna spend my time with you
# Just the two of us
# We can make it if we try
# Just the two of us
# Just the two of us... #
Yeah!
# Just the two of us
# Building castles in the sky
# Just the two of us
# You and I
# Oh!
# There's only love No time for fear
# Wasted water's all that is
# And it won't make no flowers bloom
# Oh, no
# And good things come To those who wait
# But not for those Who wait too late
# Gotta live for what we know
# Just the two of us
# We can make it if we try
# Just the two of us
# You and I Just the two of us
# Building castles in the sky
# Just the two of us
# You and I
# Yeah, yeah, yeah. #
APPLAUSE, SCREAMING
CHEERING You little punk!
Hey!
CHEERING
Hello. Hello. Hello!
I'm sweating.
I'm sweating too.
How are you? What's your name? Where do you come from?
My name's Ryan, I'm from Leigh. CHEERING
This is amazing, this is absolutely amazing.
THAT was amazing.
I heard your tone of voice straightaway,
and I just turned as soon as possible.
RYAN: Thank you so much, cheers! APPLAUSE
How long you been singing for? Probably since I was about 16,
I'm 31 now, so I can't do quick maths when I'm on the TV!
LAUGHTER Who did you come with today?
I've got my wife, my two little boys, three and one. Ah, nice!
And I've got my mum, my auntie and my mother-in-law as well.
CHEERING
I thought this was a brilliant performance,
great vocals, and I love your look as well, I love the vibe.
Really cool so well done. Great performance.
APPLAUSE It's a hell of a song.
But you did a great job of it. I mean, you did your own thing,
the phrasing and everything was really good,
I enjoyed it. Thank you. I appreciate that, cheers.
You have a very smooth tone,
the whole first bit of the song was like hypnotic, dreamy,
and then the end bit, when you took it to the next level -
super powerful - those two bits were awesome.
Yeah. This mid...
The transition between the hypnotic smooth
to the powerful, like, energy,
either one of them, they both can help you
focus in on that transition.
But you're really, really awesome. Thank you for coming on the show.
APPLAUSE
I agree. I said this time on The Voice,
I always try and do look for unique singers,
and the pure sound of someone's raw tone.
Your tone is already there,
so we don't have to help you with your voice,
you know what I mean? But I wanna help you with everything else.
You are perfect for my team,
so I feel like it would be a great match for you to come with me.
APPLAUSE
For me, I just haven't seen anyone like you on this show.
I just think you're unique - your style, your vibe.
I think you'd be fantastic on my team -
I'd really love that. I've got some really great characters,
and I think you stand out on your own.
I'd really like to help mentor you through that
and coach you through that, and who knows where it can take us?
APPLAUSE
Oh, oh... I turned like,
I turned really quickly, and you were like,
why did you wait so long?
Cos I was just hypnotised by that beautiful voice in my ears!
LAUGHTER Yeah, anyway(!)
RYAN: Well, I did come here today with a certain coach in mind,
that I was gonna choose if they turned, and one of them has.
Ohh! AUDIENCE: Ohhh!
So, erm... Thank you both so much, I appreciate it so much.
But the coach I'm gonna go with is...
..Anne-Marie! Yeah!
APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'Guiding Light' by Mumford & Sons
APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH Nice to meet ya!
APPLAUSE
Daddy!
Mwah!
APPLAUSE
Well done. He's got vibes. Yeah, he is great. Cool, in't he?
No, I'm happy. I feel like he feels like me, he feels like my team.
I tried my best, but I just felt like it was a losing battle!
# This is The Voice! #
Right. Right. Where are we at?
I have four people on my team.
What about you, Tom? Um... Six, now.
Anne-Marie? Six.
I've caught up. I've got four.
We've got many slots to fill. Right-ho. Come on!
CHEERING Whoo!
My name's Hayley Chart, I'm 52.
Where I live in Buckinghamshire,
it is quite nice and tranquil, rural, peaceful.
Well, it was until I come along!
# Give it to me! #
Make me look beautiful!
Have you got a whitening tooth thing on that?!
I currently live with my fiance Jeremy.
30 years ago, Jeremy proposed to me, but I'm not married yet -
maybe in another 30 years' time!
Right, you take the amp, I'll take the stand.
'I perform in little pubs.'
Careful! Sorry, babe!
'As well as being my fiance, Jez,' he's my roadie, he's my sound man.'
Beautiful, isn't it? 'Makes sure I get there on time.'
Good evening, Flaunden!
CHEERING Hey!
Some pubs I go into, especially where I live in the country,
yeah, some of the looks I get sometimes,
when I'm all dolled up in my big boots...
SHE LAUGHS ..and glittery dresses!
But they usually warm to me by the time I'm finished, anyway.
They realise that this old stick is really all right.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
'I love singing in pubs, I'm not putting pubs down,'
but to sing on something like The Voice,
is a whole different story.
The Blind Auditions. Massive.
I'm a bit nervous, but I'm here to show them
that I can still sing a note!
And hopefully, I can get them turning some chairs for me.
Thank you.
I am getting on, so this probably is my only chance
to put myself out there and see if I've got what it takes.
So hopefully, I have. Fingers crossed.
Good luck.
# Maybe you're gonna be the one To take me
# On. #
MUSIC STARTS
# Oh, Sinnerman Where you gonna run to?
# Sinnerman Where you gonna run to? #
What a tune! # Where you gonna run to?
# All on that day
# Well, I run to the rock Please hide me
# I run to the rock Oh, please hide me
# Lord, all on that day
# But the rock cried out I can't hide you
# The rock cried out I can't hide you

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Unconditionally
# I will love you... # Thank you!
Thank you so much for turning, guys!
No worries! Oh, I love you!
Hello, you beautiful little beast! LAUGHTER
Hello, you sexy man! I wanted you to turn for me!
What's your name?
My name's Hayley, Hayley Chart. Wow.
I'm 52 years old. What?!
CHEERING
Oh, thank YOU! No way.
I love you, Olly. I wanna come and squeeze you and kiss you, and...
I just think that was such a unique, different performance.
Like, we needed some energy,
and you just brought this fire of energy -
it was fantastic. The crowd were going mental.
Thank you. CHEERING
No-one, through the history of The Voice,
has ever got the crowd to sing along with them.
Never. None. Awww.
That was the first. Well, thank you, all.
Thank you. You got me a turn, thank you!
Thank you! Love that song selection.
I loved how you even ended it, your interpretation...
My way! Yes! That was awesome.
Well, I was gonna do it a bit high,
but I thought if I muck up on The Voice, I'm stuffed!
It was really good! I gave it a change.
Why did you choose to do the show NOW?
Well, my mum used to say to me all the time,
"You should go on one of these, you know, voice shows,
"and sing," but I never did.
And then my mum and my sister died in November and December...
Ohh. But I don't want no sympathy votes... Well, I don't have to
cos I've got a turn now anyway! Actually, I just remembered,
I can tell you how it really is!
But my sister died in November, my mum in December...
Oh, God. And then my son - ignore me if I cry -
and then my son, um...
went into hospital for his mental health. Um... Yeah.
And I had a period of madness... and kind of hid away.
My partner, actually - my fiance Jeremy, there -
he encouraged me to get the dust off
my old system up in the loft and just start again.
So this is for my son Fabian, actually.
He'll be honoured because, yeah...
He sings it every day now, this song, so...
You did him proud tonight. You did him proud.
APPLAUSE
But I could keep you here all night,
it's up to you, I can talk for... LAUGHTER
Shall I leave you in peace now? No, no, no - you have to pick.
Oh, sugar, yeah - ooh! Well done! Censored!
What can you do for me, Olly, baby? LAUGHTER
If I pick you, babes, where are you taking me?
This is getting a bit...
It's getting a bit hot over here! Are you taking me to high places?
LAUGHTER
I just think you're so amazing and such a fun character,
and I said this season, I wanted fun and energy,
and I think you have it all, and I just love you...
Ahh. I really do, and I would love to... I don't know,
I think you're awesome. You are truly awesome.
And I'm so happy you came on the show. Thank you.
I would love to work with you. Thank you.
And hey, baby, what YOU gonna do for me?
LAUGHTER Are you taking me higher than Olly?
LAUGHTER
You know, first, before I say that, I wish I grew up with you.
Ahhh! I wish I grew up with YOU!
For real. I'd have been on the bloody telly years ago!
LAUGHTER
Seriously, like, you're a, you're a firecracker,
and the energy is, yeah, infectious.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's endless, the things that we can do.
It all depends on our imaginations and hard work and effort.
APPLAUSE Wow.
It's so difficult.
Oh, you're both... I love you both so much.
Can't I just have both of you? LAUGHTER
That's called WOLLY. LAUGHTER
No, you can only have one of us, I'm afraid.
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT NAMES
will!
will.i.am it is. APPLAUSE
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Gotta love her.
Mwah! Brilliant. Impressive.
Well done, will. She's wicked. My heart is like, um...
You felt it.
What happened there with her singing Power, and you guys singing Power,
not even knowing what she was going through to me is like, "Wow!"
Yeah. It's beautiful.
Yeah. She's a beautiful person.
This year, for the very first time in the history of The Voice,
# This is The Voice! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, who do you guys think is gonna come up next?
I don't know.
It could be a group, it could be like, an amazing songstress.
And like, three dancers! LAUGHTER
..and stuff!
Yeah! Wait, wait, wait.
Disclaimer, disclaimer - that is not my dance moves.
LAUGHTER
Shall we get on with the show? Yeah!
I'm not nervous, by the way. Good.
That's a lie. Oh.
HARMONISING: # Welcome to The Voice! #
# It's a beautiful day... #
I'm Alex. I'm Ashley.
I'm Sam. I'm Harry.
And we are... ALL: The Ashatones.
The Ashatones!
We all met at university.
We've been singing together for nearly ten years now.
We are best mates, first and foremost.
And the last gig we did was my wedding, which I can't believe
I trusted you to be groomsmen!
We were useless. Utterly hopeless.
Much better at singing.
Obviously now, our next gig
is going to be in front of millions of people.
If a coach turns round, I feel like you're gonna get overexcited.
LAUGHTER
We usually perform at functions, events, charity gigs.
But we've not done anything on this scale before.
Today's going to be the biggest audience
and the biggest thing we've ever done.
This is the first time there's groups, right?
Yeah. We're gonna be a pretty different act
to what anyone has seen. Yeah.
If we were the first group to win The Voice,
it'd be an amazing experience. One to tell the grandkids. For sure.
You love stories to tell the grandkids, don't you?
We've got a lot of stories to tell the grandkids!
You've got a lot of grandkids to have!
# No one day from the start... #
There's definitely no-one I'd rather go out on stage with.
We'll all be nervous, but having each other
will give us courage.
# Every time we sing It echoes in the sky... #
Let's have fun. Smile, let's enjoy it.
We are gonna give everything that we have for this performance.
Here we go, then.
Because when is this opportunity gonna come around again?
With these three next to me, nothing can go that wrong.

What's happening? Hi. Hello, hello!
What's your names? I'm Alex. Ashley.
Sam. And I'm Harr... Harry!
LAUGHTER
I take it you do the bass?
I actually sing the high part. No way!
You with the blue shirt,
you did the bass. I'm the bass, yes.
You know your stuff! I can hear it in his talking voice. Thank you.
And what's your name? We are The Ashatones.
Nice. I loved it. I was all over it. As soon as you guys started,
I was just... Yeah.
I'm a sucker for a quartet like that.
Thank you. It's really hard to come up here and just use your voices.
You didn't use the band.
There's a lot of thought that went into that and rehearsals.
So I'm really chuffed that I pressed my button
to give you the opportunity to sing again on the show.
Thanks very much. We're really happy you pressed it!
TOM: The reason I didn't turn -
the way you sing, what you do, Olly loves that.
You couldn't be with anybody better than Olly Murs.
And I wouldn't wanna step on his toes, but I loved what you did.
That means a lot. Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I wanna say that was so brilliant.
And I don't think people understand how hard it is
to stay in tune for that long
without any keys to help you stay in tune,
so it was literally perfect, the whole way through.
ALL: Thank you very much. Thank you.
I'm so proud I pressed my button, I'm so happy you're on my team.
Welcome to The Voice! Thank you! Thank you!
CHEERING
Nice to meet you guys. See you soon. Well done.
There was incredible. Thank you.
CHEERING
They are perfect for you. You love that, I know you love that.
In my head, I thought, "Barbershop quartet."
I wanted to turn and them to be in '50s suits with a little hat!
That's what they can be. 100%, I'm digging out the trilby.
Yeah! Yeah, 100%.
Next time we see them, they'll be like... Sure.
No, they were great, though. They WERE great. Fair play.
Ah, I love that type of music, though.
I like garage. LAUGHTER
What about you, Tom?
For me, the '50s was the thing that sparked me up.
Rock 'n' roll started. Yeah.
And it was so different. It just sounded... fresh.
There's loads of great songs from that era.
Yep. # Nine, ten, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock rock
BOTH: # We're gonna rock around The clock tonight
# We're gonna rock, rock, rock
# Till broad daylight We're gonna rock
# Gonna rock around the clock Tonight... #
Come on, Tom! WHOOPING
# Eight, nine, ten, 11 too
# I'll be going strong And so will you
# We're gonna rock around the clock Tonight
# Rock, rock, rock Till the broad daylight
# Rock, gonna rock Around the clock tonight
CHEERING Oh!
# And when the clock goes 12 o'clock
# We're gonna take shots, shots Shots
# Take more shots
# We gonna drink, drink And get real drunk... #
Just kidding! No, we're not, we're not!
# Cos that ain't no fun
# We gonna rock, gonna rock Around the clock tonight... #
CHEERING
# We're gonna rock, rock Around the clock
# We're gonna rock Hey!
# Around the clock
# Gonna rock, rock Around the clock
BOTH: # We're gonna rock, rock, rock Around the clock

APPLAUSE
# This is The Voice! #
Tom, what was your favourite subject at school?
TO 'Sex Bomb': # Sex Ed, Sex Ed! #
LAUGHTER
I liked woodwork. LAUGHTER
I wasn't too bright at school cos I'm dyslexic.
Ah. So I could read great, but I can't see the words
after I've read a page, if you said, "Just write what you just read."
I'm dyslexic as well! Are you? Yeah!
But you read all right, but it's the writing part?
No, I'm the opposite way round... We should get...! Yeah!
Make a good team, then! LAUGHTER
Here we are, how very exciting.
Better than driving a bus. I know, right?
Hi! Morning!
I'm Scarlette Von B, I'm 26 years old,
and I'm a bus driver from Cornwall. BELL RINGS
# Cos I'm on top of the world, hey I'm on top of the world, hey... #
Driving my car used to absolutely terrify me, so I thought,
"I've gotta do something -
"why not learn to drive a double-decker?"
So with our £5 day ticket, you can travel anywhere within Cornwall.
You can hop on, hop off,
get service with a smile and I might even sing for you.
I'll be fully belting it out, thinking no-one's on,
and then the bell rings!
BELL DINGS
When I was younger, I had quite a tough time in school.
I had so much bad anxiety,
I couldn't even go outside the house, it was awful.
My mum said to me,
"Don't think you're gonna sit here and do nothing -
"I'm taking you to a singing lesson."
I ended up really enjoying it, and I carried on.
It gave her confidence, for a start,
and she could stand up eventually
in front of her whole school and sing.
We're over the moon with her at what she's achieved... Yeah.
..and her perseverance.
It's been absolutely marvellous. Yeah.
When I see Scarlette walk out on that stage,
I know that she'll be ready, and I'll be so proud.
I think I'm gonna feel nervous - I mean, who wouldn't?
But it's gonna be good nerves,
and it's only because I wanna do a good job,
and I wanna do it right.
# The courage to change Have I
# The courage to change today? #
Come on, bird!
MUSIC STARTS
# Blue jeans, white shirt
# Walked into the room You know you made my eyes burn
# It was like James Dean, for sure
# You're so fresh to death And sick as cancer and
# I will love you Till the end of time
# I would wait a million years
# Promise and remember You are mine
# You went out every night And, honey, that's all right
# I told you no matter... #
SHE MISTAKES THE LYRICS
# ..Die
# Whether you fail or fly So close, at least you tried
# But when you walked out that door A piece of me died
# Told you I wanted more That's not what I had in mind
# Just want it like before We were dancing all night
# Then they took you away Stole you out of my life
# You just need to remember
# I will love you Till the end of time
# I would wait a million years Promise and remember... #
NOTE RISES # You are mine
# Love you more
# Than people
# Say you'll remember Say you'll remember, baby

ALL: Ahhhh.
APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'All Again' by Ella Henderson
Right! Good!
# And you're the reason why. #
SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY You all right?
You'll do it again, Scarlette. I know I will.
We will. You gotta do it once to know how to do it!
SHE LAUGHS
# I'd do it all again. #
That was quite unique.
Not the type of uniqueness you're looking for, no?
She got really good at the end. It was different.
But she still needed more correction. Yeah.
Her claws didn't come out.
Normally, you can tell when someone's forgotten the lyrics.
But I think she covered it quite well.
When I forget my lyrics, I go...
# And then she... # SINGS NONSENSE
See, this is what I do. I would go,
# I just wanna, ooh-ooh Come on, baby... #
CHEERING
LAUGHTER All together now!
What song are you singing? Exactly!
LAUGHTER
I was at the end of
It Looks Like I'm Never Gonna Fall in Love Again... Yep.
And I got to... # In love... #
And I'm on "love", and I'm thinking, "In love what? With you?"
And I looked at my guitar player, and he went...
HE MOUTHS
I went... # Again! #
THEY ALL LAUGH
My piano player said, "That was great,
"the way you held that note at the end!"
That is brilliant.
We all do it, don't we? Yeah. All had it.
I have a song, 2002, and I always forget the first lyrics,
it's... "I will always remember."
LAUGHTER
It's so annoying!
Brilliant. That's fantastic.
Ah! I love the lighting!
My name is Katie Coleman,
I'm 28 years old, and I'm a singer full-time.
I sing weddings, clubs, functions, corporate events.
But I do love it, I can't complain, it's not a typical 9-5,
but sometimes, it's hard to get the crowd going,
they're always a bit drunk!
My nana used to sing in clubs back in the day,
and she sang for the sailors and army men.
I just would listen to her growing up, and I thought,
"Yeah, I want a bit of that!"
# I just want to be Part of your symphony... #
Katie, I hope Sir Tom Jones turns around,
I think he's gorgeous! So does your nana, she loves him!
When I sing, I am transported to another place.
I'm filled with joy. And I just don't wanna do anything else.
I'm just so proud, I could cry,
but I'm not gonna cry cos it'll spoil my mascara.
LAUGHTER
'I think this competition is a way out of the typical gigs
'that I've been doing,'
which, they're amazing, but they're not on this scale. This is huge.
# When
# When the fire's At my feet again... #
This is my one chance to give it everything I've got,
leave my heart on the stage...
..I've gotta give it 100%.
# Don't be surprised I will still rise. #
MUSIC STARTS
# Looking out on the morning rain
# I used to feel So uninspired
# And when I knew I had to face another day
# Lord, you make me feel so tired
# Before the day I met you
# Life was so unkind
# But you're the key To my peace of mind
# You make me feel You make me feel
# You make me feel like A natural woman
# Oh, baby
# What you done to me Yeah, yeah
# And I just wanna be
# Close to you You make me feel so alive
# You make me feel
# Make me feel, you make me feel
# Like a natural wo...
# Oh, make me feel You make me feel
# You make me feel
# Like a natural woman. #
CHEERING
Wow!
Oh, my God! Hello, what's your name?
Hello! My name is Katie. And... Whoa!
I'm 28, and I'm from Darlington. CHEERING
Thank you! Wow.
God, I'm so gutted, why did I not press my button?
Honestly, that was fantastic.
You're a fabulous singer. How long have you been singing for?
I did my first performance
in front of my primary school when I was seven.
And, er... Just been singing my whole life.
I do the weddings, and I do the functions.
I just love it, I just love how it makes me feel.
That was a fantastic performance,
I'm sorry I didn't press my button, it was brilliant -
from top to bottom. Well done. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
You have an incredible voice. Thank you.
With an incredible range.
If you had done half of what you did, it would still be fantastic,
but you are a great singer,
and I really loved what you did. Wow!
Thank you so much. OK, you are in.
I'm in your team! And you're freaking awesome!
Right? Boom. Second boom. You're freaking great.
Third boom... Thank you.
..you're freaking fierce! I got so many more booms
cos that's just how booming your voice is. Thank you.
And you're a fighter cos when you didn't get no turns,
I've seen you like, "Oh, wow, she's really fighting here."
We've gotta bring that fight to the rest of the show.
We've got to take them OUT! Let's do it!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Then my heart goes Bum, bum, ba-dum, bum, bum... #
Awesome. Lovely to meet you!
# Bum, bum, ba-dum, bum, bum... # Bye!
# And my heart goes Bum, bum, ba-dum, bum, bum
# Bum, bum, ba-dum Bum, bum, ba-dum, bum, bum... #
Well done, young lady!
APPLAUSE
Whoo! Game ON!
Yep. She's dope.
Yeah. Just what I needed.
Now I'm equipped!
# This is The Voice! #
One more act to go.
How are you feeling, Tom? Tense!
This act has been waiting all night for this performance.
Scary. Yeah.
So, please, give whoever it is lots of love and encouragement. Yes.
Are you excited? My heart's beating so fast!
Is it? Yeah!
SHE EXHALES
I'm Kelly Hastings, I am 41,
I'm from a little town called Risca in the South Wales valleys.
I work in a small charity shop -
we do get some very interesting donations.
It's like the universe's playground,
you never know what's coming in.
How much is it? That is 50p, please.
Big Tom Jones fan? Oh, yeah.
I was ten when I got my first karaoke machine.
It completely changed my life.
I was like, "This is who I wanna be, this is what I wanna do,
"for the rest of my life." You know, "This makes me so happy."
I joined an ABBA tribute band.
We got to travel, we did a festival in Spain. It was so amazing.
And then I had my first son when I was 19.
I kind of put singing on hold then.
# Hey, pretty smiling people... #
Being a mum of six is like organised chaos.
But it's like I've got six best friends, all under one roof.
I think you're gonna be absolutely amazing.
Kelly is a brilliant mum. She looks out for everyone.
Probably the most thoughtful person that I know.
She's given up so much of her life, with the six kids,
and she deserves this moment.
I wanted to be there for them, I wanted to be a full-time mum,
but I can't explain how important singing is to me.
And now that the kids are growing up,
I do feel like this is - for the first time
in such a long time - this is about me.
I can't imagine how nervous you're feeling. I feel sick.
Every single one of us is extremely proud of you.
You're the rock in this family.
You all right, pet?
When she sings, she lives her dream,
and this is gonna mean the world to her, just to be on a stage
and for people to hear her.
'I am nervous.'
I suffer with huge confidence and self-esteem issues.
But this is really important to me
because I feel like I'm setting an example to my children.
No dream is too big, and it's never too late. You know?
So I'm gonna go out there, and I am gonna give it my all.
# It's not too late
# Just rely on me now. #
SHE EXHALES
MUSIC STARTS
# Clipped wings I was a broken thing
# Had a voice, had a voice But I could not sing
# You would wind me down
# I struggled on the ground
# So lost The line had been crossed
# Had a voice, had a voice But I could not talk
# You held me down
# I struggle to fly now
# I don't care if I sing off key
# I find myself in my melodies
# I sing for love I sing for me
# I shout it out Like a bird set free
# Watch me fly I hit the high notes
# I have a voice, have a voice
# Hear me roar tonight You held me down
# But I fought back loud
# There's a scream inside We all try to hide
# We hold on so tight But I don't wanna die
# I don't wanna die I don't wanna die
# I don't care if I sing off key
# I find myself in my melodies
# I sing for love I sing for me
# I shout it out Like a bird set free

CHEERING
# It's OK to be afraid... #
Wow! What's your name, where are you from?
I'm Kelly, I'm from South Wales. AUDIENCE SHOUTS
My God - what have I done, what have I done?!
What part of Wales are you from? Risca, near Newport.
Risca? I know it, yeah. You know Risca?
Risca, of course! Yeah?
That's the King of Wales right there, bro! So...
Tom said, "I want a singer, somebody that's Welsh."
LAUGHTER
He did say that! He said that! Oh, my God!
That was really something - I mean, I was almost there!
Thank you! APPLAUSE
Thank you.
I'm flabbergasted that I'm the only coach that's pressed my button.
Honestly. AUDIENCE: Yeah!
Honestly. Thank God you did.
I'm so glad you're here, and you've sung. Thank you.
I need you on my team. Thank you so much.
That was phenomenal! Thank you!
I wanna know who have you come with today?
Cos I can see a lot of people out there.
Yeah, that's my husband and my children. Ahh!
APPLAUSE
How many children do you have? I have six.
Six kids?! What?! Six?!
You guys have been busy! LAUGHTER
How old are you? I'm 41. No way!
41? You look like you're in your 20s.
Really?! I love you, Tom, thank you! No, honestly, I mean that sincerely.
Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for bringing your whole fam-bam.
Thank you for having us! Yeah.
I love the song choice. Why did you pick that song?
I think it's really relevant.
I took quite a while off from singing, to raise my family,
so it's a really empowering song,
about reclaiming a piece of yourself,
and I feel like by coming here, I'm doing that.
I'm getting back in touch with myself. Yeah.
APPLAUSE
All right, look, kids, your mom... is freaking the coolest, bravest,
most dedicated...
Like, to take time from her dream to raise a beautiful family -
I don't even know you guys, but your mom is freaking amazing.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Oh, thank you.
And one day... One day, you guys are gonna get a little older,
you guys are gonna have your dreams, you have to think about,
do I put my dreams on pause
and do the things that reality has now blessed me with?
But the fact that she came back to her dreams,
and you guys are all there, and it's this one big, beautiful dream?
That is hearts, for days. CHEERING
Welcome to my team.
Thank you so much, thank you! Yes!
You were so amazing. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you!
Welcome to the show. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Thank you! CHEERING
Whoo-hoo!
Come on!
Oh, wow. You did it!
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER SOBS You OK?
You did it! Are you all right?
That is great. Like, wow - I'm so excited now.
Incredible performance, incredible moment for her.
She was brilliant. Lovely, as well. Great family.
Yeah, she's lovely. Yep.
Ahhh! LAUGHTER
I'm so excited! I am! I really am.
