EMMA WILLIS: Your coaches, everyone! CHEERING
Hello.
How's everybody today?
CHEERING
How many you got, Tom? Well, I got two acts on my team.
We have three.
I have four. And I still got three.
LAUGHTER
Place your bets, everyone. Yay-hey!
LAUGHTER
Good morning. Good morning.
Hi, I'm Billy. And I'm Louie.
And we are... Twenty, and we're from Wiltshire.
We are twins, and we do finish each other's...
Sandwiches!
Yeah, you do that, don't you? Yeah.
Let's do a little twin test. I'm thinking of a primary colour.
Red. Oh, that's good.
Yeah, love it. Do an animal.
A... Pig? Yeah. That's weird, isn't it?
I was gonna say goat, and last minute I just thought, pig.
Cos you looked at me?
We do most things together.
Can't wait for a lovely cup of tea when we get in.
You've missed the turning. Which way am I going?
Left. Which way?
Left. Which way is left?
Go left. I'm going left. Carry on.
And when it gets to the weekend,
I think there's nothing that we prefer
than, you know, a night out with the ladies.
I've made some cakes to share with everybody.
Thank you very much, Grandma.
Oh, yeah. Here we go, guys. Come on, guys.
We run a choir called The Grace Notes,
and we've been doing it for four years.
Five years. Five years. Wow.
The age ranges from 17 to about 80.
You'd probably get to see our lovely grandma.
Our oldest member, I think, is Carol.
Oh, you look lovely as well.
Thanks. Yeah, lovely.
She's just the best person, honestly.
Most people our age I'm sure
would like to go out clubbing and stuff,
but there's lots of lovely people there, and they support us so much.
Whatever you're singing, you're going to do wonderful.
I know you are. Absolutely.
How you feeling about today? Yeah, a bit nervous.
We have practised within an inch of our life,
I think, and we've got these little codes.
If something's going wrong on your end, I'll flap about it.
But I'll know what the flapping means.
He'll know what that means. How long have you been singing for?
Oh, we've been singing since we were about 11, I reckon. Yeah.
We always used to harmonise with each other
and try harmonies with, like,
the microwave and the hoover and stuff like that
when we were young and stuff...
I know, weirdos, right?
I just didn't expect that to come out of your mouth!
We're so excited for us to be... to be doing this.
We don't talk about anything else now.
Having the chairs turned is nice
because not us relying on the fact that we're twins -
for them just to be listening to our voices
is going to be really, really lovely. Yeah.
# Cos I want more
# More
# Looking for... #
It's good to be a bit nervous,
but any experience is so much better
when you've got someone to be just as excited about it with you.
# Don't you leave me there Wanting more. #
MUSIC STARTS
# I know
# That when you look at me ... #
AUDIENCE CHEERS
# There's so much
# That you just don't see
# But if
# You would only take the time
# I know in my heart you'd find
# Oh, a girl Who's scared sometimes
# Who isn't always strong
# Can't you see the hurt in me?
# I feel so all alone
BOTH:# I wanna run to you
# Ooh, ooh
# I wanna run to you
# You
# Won't you hold me in your arms
# And keep me safe from harm?
# I wanna run to you
# Oh, ooh, ooh
# But if I come to you
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
# Tell me, will you stay

# Run away?
# Run away

CHEERING
Oh, he's gone!
CHEERING AND WHISTLING
What's your guys' names?
I'm Billy. I'm Louie.
BOTH:And we're... Billy and Louie.
LAUGHTER
And you guys are twins?
We are twins indeed, yeah.
Who's older?
Oh, I'm older by two minutes.
And where are you guys from? Wiltshire.
And we're 20.
Wow! To tackle Whitney Houston like that and do it so well!
Your harmonies were just, like, really stellar and stunning.
That was gorgeous.
BOTH: Thank you so much.
Thank you. CHEERING
So, do you sing professionally?
Yeah, we... Together in choirs.
Oh, OK.
We've not cracked the scene of males yet.
For some reason, we just attract women, which is lovely. Very nice.
Well, you sound really something.
I mean, that's why we all turned for you.
You're really excellent singers, and the blend is great.
It was lovely. It was really something.
Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
Guys, that was an amazing audition.
It was incredible. Your voices work so well together.
Obviously, me and Danny, we've been singing with each other
for 22, 23 years. We know how hard it is
to get your harmonies that tight,
especially when you're under the pressure
of this environment, an audition.
It sounded amazing. You've got an amazing talent.
Thank you. Thank you.
I would absolutely love to work with you both.
I love the sound of your voices. They're really, really beautiful.
You guys could pretty much sing anything,
and I would love to have you on Team LeAnn.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
I can't add much to that. I mean, you just said...
You can just say, "I'm Tom Jones."
Well...
Sold! Sold!
I mean, you know, you sound like you could do
almost anything that you put your minds to,
and I would like to be part of it, if possible.
So I would love for you to come with me if you want to.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
It was a beautiful performance, and I'd like you to be on my team.
You guys are twins. We are.
You can't spell "wins" without twins.
Oh!
LAUGHTER
Look, there's two of you. There's two of us.
And you two look like a good replacement for Harry and Dougie.
Yeah. We've been trying to find a way to get rid of them for years.
We would love to have you on our team, though.
You have incredible voices, and we'd be honoured
if you would become part of Team Tom & Danny.
Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Yeah. Right now it's time for you guys to choose team.
Could you give us two minutes? Well, maybe 30 seconds.
You can have 20 minutes.
Take as long as you like.
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
You go. You go. I think...
Oh, Tom, you look so content there. We'd love to go with you.
CHEERING
I knew they were gonna go with Tom.
It'll be great. It'll be great, for sure.
You sung really, really well.
Well done.
All right!
Yeah.
That had Tom written all over it. Yeah?Yeah.
Yeah, that was good. APPLAUSE
That was great. They're incredible.
Yeah. Tremendous singers.
Damn! SHE LAUGHS
Did you think they'd go with you?
No, that's why we were fighting hard.
I knew they were going for Tom.
Yeah, I did, too. You know how I know?
Like, when Tom is, like, chill.
Yeah. He knows. He's like, "They're coming here."
Yeah!
# GARAGE (man raps) # Yeah! Zip, zip
# This is The Voice! #
What are you looking for? I don't know until I hear it, really.
I'm looking for something that's, uh... unique.
I just want to have, like, a smorgasbord of oddities.
Oddities? Mmm. I like it.
It'd be cool to get a young, pop/rock...
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
Like McFly. Yes.
So, you'd normally be walking up to Anfield today, wouldn't you?
I know, but I'm walking into The Voice instead.
Hiya. I've never been interviewed like this on telly before.
My name's Paul. I am 18, and I am from Liverpool.
I love being from Liverpool. It's such a boss city.
Boss people. Being Scouse is... it's boss.
# I'm still proud of... #
I am a massive Liverpool fan.
People say football is just a game. It really is not.
It's beautiful.
It proper speaks to me, in the same way music does.
Biggest supporters has got to be my mum and dad.
And they take me to all my gigs.
Got Mum and Dad's taxi over there. Still learning how to drive.
# Just me and my guitar. #
CHANTING: One, two, one, two, three.
One, two, three, four, five-nil!
# I'm no teenage icon
# I'm no Frankie Avalon... #
There's a pub literally by Anfield.
I get to play Liverpool songs before and after the game.
I love it. I wake up, and I'm like,
"This is boss, this."
# I have a photo where John Lennon may have stood... #
Football or music? That is like asking
whether I love my mum or my dad more.
Football is my first love, obviously.
Music is why I'm here.
# This is for the ones who Never get listened to... #
I've never done anything to this extent, like.
This is the biggest moment in my life.
This could be the next step for me, hopefully, like.
Literally, I haven't got words to say how proud I am of him.
He's just absolutely flying at life at the moment.
In awe of him, really, to be honest,
at how far he's come. I really am.
# You're not on your own, no, no
# You're not on your own... #
Just hoping for a chair turn, to be fair, like.
Little round of applause would be nice.
Obviously, the McFly boys are there.
Hopefully the guitar will catch their attention.
We'll see what happens, eh?
# Not on your own, no, no
# You're not on your own
# You're not alone Not alone. #
MUSIC STARTS
# They say I'm the spit of you
# And they're not wrong... #
APPLAUSE
# Bury my head too
# Stomach hurts all the time
# Can't shift it
# Been like that since eight
# And it was love
# In all its agony
# Every bit of me
# Hurting for you
# Cos one day, that'll be Your forehead I'm kissing
# And I'll still
# Look exactly like you
# Cos I can talk to anyone
# I can talk to anyone
# I can't talk to you
# Well, I can talk to anyone
# I can talk to anyone
# I can't talk to you
# Well, I can talk to anyone
# I can talk to anyone
# I can't talk to you... # Come on!
# I can talk to anyone
# I can't talk to you. #
APPLAUSE
# I never know just what to say
# I'm afraid that... #
I'm so sorry. He's so good!
# Time
# It is never on our side... #
It just wasn't... Don't!
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Played the guitar!
We said that.
Oh! That hurts.
It does. I felt that one. Just... Oh!
PAUL:I am gutted, don't get me wrong,
but, I mean, what can you do? Just crack on now.
Yeah. Gave it my best. What can you do?
'Just on to the next thing.'
Yeah.
How do you all take rejection? Not well.
Not well?
Don't you think, though, rejection builds strength?
Totally. It does.
Like, I was nearly in a band with Emma's husband, Matt.
Oh, really? Yeah. He's in a band called Busted.
So, I auditioned for this band, and I got in.
And it was everything I'd wanted.
And then about 24 hours later, the manager called me and said,
"We're just gonna keep it as a three-piece,
"and you're no longer needed."
Oh, no. AUDIENCE: Aww!
And it was heart-breaking.
Getting Busted taken away from me
made me realise how much I wanted it.
Yeah. And it was only because of that that McFly started.
CHEERING
It was the rejection from Busted that was the catalyst for McFly.
And it all worked out perfectly. I got to write songs for Busted.
We go on tour with them. They're our best mates.
Yeah!
STAGE MANAGER:Ready to go for our next audition, thank you.
Right, we ready?
# I'm coming home
# Whoa, oh, oh, oh... #
I'm Amber. I'm 27, and I'm from Manchester.
I live with my daughter, Mila. She's four years old.
Huh! MILA GIGGLES
Did I get it? Oh, you've got it on your nose!
'She's my reason for everything now.'
Cheeky monkey!
'I love being a single mum.
'I wouldn't change it for the world.
'I couldn't have asked for a better child. Honestly, the best.'
# I'm coming home Whoa, oh, oh, oh... #
My mum is my favourite person in the world. Honestly, I love her.
I think she's incredibly talented. I always have.
Until she had Mila, she was really lacking in confidence.
Trying to get her to sing in front of people, you know,
other than in her bedroom,
because that's all she ever did, is in the bedroom.
I just can't wait. I actually can't wait.
But I'm scared.
Yeah, the reason that I'm doing it is for my daughter, for my mum.
Good luck, Mummy.
"Good luck, Mummy".
# And I'll meet you there
# Between the right And the wrong... #
I've not always been the most confident.
I left school, I gained quite a lot of weight.
I just didn't really feel myself.
Obviously, I've lost a bit of weight,
and I've got my spark back a little bit.
I've not really done many performances on stage before,
so this is, like, the biggest thing I've ever done.
I am feeling really nervous,
but I'm hoping to channel them nerves
and get through my performance.
I'm definitely gonna have to look at the side of the stage
to find my daughter, Mila.
That's the encouragement I'm gonna need.
Just her little thumbs-up. That's everything.
That's all I'll need, and I'll be good to go.
# Waiting on the other side. #
MUSIC STARTS
# It could all be so simple... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# But you'd rather make it hard
# See, no one loves me More than you
# And no-one ever will
# No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know
# It ain't working
# And when I try to walk away
# You hurt yourself To make me stay
# This is crazy
# And this is crazy
# I keep letting you back in
# How can I explain myself?
# See, no-one's hurt me More than you
# And no-one ever will
# Care for me, care for me
# I know you care for me
# There for me, there for me
# Said you'd be there for me
# Cry for me, cry for me
# I know you'd die for me Give to me, give to me
# Why won't you live for me? #
SHE VOCALISES
CHEERING
APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
Honestly, thank you so much.
You OK? Good.
It's a lot. What's your name, love?
Amber. I'm 27, and I'm from Salford. Well, Manchester.
CHEERING
Oh! I'm overwhelmed.
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Oh, my God! That was beautiful.
Thank you. I mean, I really wish I'd pressed it now.
I mean, thank God Will pressed. Thank God!
No, no, I mean, you gotta be on this show.
There's no doubt about that.
Yeah. You have to.Yeah.
How long have you been singing?
I'd say since high school, so, like, 11.
When I left school, I stopped for a bit,
and now I'm starting again.
Why did you stop? I don't know.
I think it was, like, a confidence thing at the time.
You've got an amazing voice.
You should totally have confidence in it.
I put on a bit of timber when I left school, and honestly,
I'll be honest with you, I thought
I just looked a bit of a mess for a little minute,
so I weren't feeling myself, I weren't feeling it.
But lost a bit of weight, got my mojo back.
You look amazing. Thank you.
That's what I say it was.
I can relate. I can totally relate to that.
We yo-yo. When we first started in the band, I did the same.
It's hard being in the public eye, not feeling at your best.
That's what it was.
Well, you look amazing, and you sound amazing.
LEANN:Absolutely stunning. Thank you. Yeah.
That was awesome. I love the little growl in your voice.
I tried, I tried.
You went from this, like, sweet, sexy thing to, like,
this growl, and, like, it was very layered.
I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I should have turned. I should have turned.
You know, when you have iconic songs like that...
Yeah. ..a lot of times you want to...
Artists either go too far extreme
and not sound anything like the song,
or they go to the other extreme,
and they try to sound exactly like the artist that they're singing.
But you sounded like you on that song.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Really. It sounded really, really awesome.
Everything was solid.
In't it good! Yeah. You're gonna look back at this performance,
you're gonna be like, "Yeah, check me out. Google me."
And it will be there forever.
It's a stellar performance. You should be super-proud of yourself.
Thank you so much. Honestly, thank you.
Welcome to Team Will.
Thank you so much.
She's got a lovely personality. Yeah, she does.
Yeah. She really does. You know, she's got a lovely warmth.
Yeah.
# Follow me. #
So, it's competition time. And not only do you get the chance
to get your hands on our biggest-ever cash prize of £100,000,
you can also win this lot.
Listen up, guys. It's lunchtime,
and we thought we'd take you to our favourite hotspot.
We don't need to get a taxi.
No cars. It's right here.
# Make me feel Mighty real... #
Welcome to Greggs. Who's Gregg, by the way?
Does anybody actually know who Gregg is?
Hello. How's it going?
I've heard I need to try a sausage roll.
That's the classic. What's up, Rose?
Thank you, my love.
Can I get the usual, please?
One vegan sausage roll,
one sausage roll and a cheese slice, please.
That's your usual? My usual, yeah.
I didn't have to order that.
They normally have it ready. Oh, very nice.
Sausage roll... Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks, Kiran.
Bye, guys. Let's go and enjoy lunch
and maybe hear some more singers.
Sounds good to me.
CHEERING

I work in construction.
You might see me measuring up, looking at some blueprints.
But I like my tea break.
Let's be fair - who doesn't love a cup of tea?
Yeah!
When we're not working, family is everything to us.
# Darling, you come first... #
I actually have two sons myself.
So, I've got Lohan, who's 13, and Otis, who is seven.
And they are such a joy. Full of life and energy.
They're always dragging us out down the park.

Musically, they're probably gonna take us on soon.

We have that experience now, years of it.
So, you know what?
Let's take it out to the world. Time for the world to see.
# So I lift my feet off the ground

That was, like, brilliant.
Glad you caught that. That was brilliant.
Seriously, I've never heard anything like that.
That was awesome. Thank you. Thank you.
You're the first rappers that I've ever turned for.
Wow. Wow.
Honestly. Cos, you know, it's not my thing.
I can't teach you anything. You know, I can't. I can't...
I can't say, "Well, I think you should do this."
You know, if you came with me,
which I would love you to, you know,
I would have to say, "Well, hey, fellas, whatever you want to do..."
LAUGHTER
"..you go ahead, because..."
But I loved it.
Thank you. Yeah.
Like that. Appreciate it.
I totally dug it. I really did.
And I love how you threw our names in there. That was smart.
I thought there were more than two of you
because there was just, like, so much going on. It was awesome.
I mean, it was that tight,
I thought you literally had yourself on MPCs.
I was, like, going, "Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun."
You know, that kind of thing? Right.
And though we might not be the obvious choice,
you're the Twin MCs, right?
We're M-C Fly. Yeah.
I like that. All right! All right!
And we believe you can "twin" the show.
LAUGHTER
That's good. He's thinking!
He's thinking.
All right, so check us out.
I need you to ask, Sir Tom Jones,
do you have twins on your team?
And I'm pretty sure you don't want to go to a room with other twins.
You know what I'm saying? That would be Twin Peaks.
We don't want no peaking.
I just so happen not to have twins.
So let's go through that exercise right now
and see what the results are.
Yo, Tom. Do you got twins on your team?
I got twins on my team.
But not like you.
You know, they're singers.
You know, they do harmony and everything, but they can't rap.
You guys want to think about it?
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
That was fast! Whoa!
That was so fast. That was a quick thought.
Respect to the coaches today, first and foremost.
Thank you for watching. Thank you for turning.
Even if you didn't turn, thank you for listening. I loved it.
You're all inspirational.
We have decided to go with...
Have a drum roll. Drum roll. Let's go.

Yeah. Yeah.
Welcome to Team Will. I like that. Team Will!
That was so good. I would love to be on Team Will.
And I really want to learn how to rap.
Come on, Miss Rimes. LeAnn Rimes.
I first fell in love with rap when I was, like, 11,
and I bought my first Salt-N-Pepa record.
They were the best. SHE RAPS:Here I go, here I go
Here I go again Girls, what's my weakness?
Men! OK, then, chilling, chilling
BOTH: Minding my business Yo, Salt, I looked around

So, we were saying, what better name?
So, we've known each other about ten years now.
We laugh, we fight, and we cry. ALL LAUGH
And now we're singing all around the world.
We perform mainly on cruise ships.
I feel like we're like the Irish Jane McDonalds, times four.
A lot of our fans, they're usually women on the more mature side.
They really enjoy the show, get worked up,
tell us we've got sexy knees. Some very strange interactions.
We're going to just show them exactly what we're bringing,
and I think we could do well.
Let's just do the best we can do.
The perks of being in the group is we all have each other's backs,
and, say, if someone has an off day or they miss something,
we can pick up the slack.
So it's a team effort, which is great to have.
# If you're gonna love somebody
# Better go ahead And let 'em know... #
We've done some great shows,
but this is just several other levels up.
We really want it to go well,
and I'm praying that we'll get a turn-around.
I know we're gonna all do it together
and make each other proud.

# On the fourth of July 1806
# We set sail From the sweet cove of Cork
# We were sailing away With a cargo of bricks
# For the grand City Hall In New York
# It was a wonderful craft
# She was rigged fore and aft
# And oh, how the wild winds Drove her
# She had several blasts She had 27 masts
# And they called her The Irish Rover
# There was old Mickey Coote Who played hard on his flute
# When the ladies lined up For his set
# He was tootin' with skill For each sparkling quadrille
# Though the dancers Were fluther'd and bet
# With his sparse witty talk He was cock of the walk
# As he rolled the dames Under and over
# They all knew at a glance When he took up his stance
# That he sailed On the Irish Rover
# Then the ship struck a rock
# Oh, Lord, what a shock
# The bulkhead Was turned right over
# Turned nine times around And the poor dog was drowned
# I'm the last of the Irish Rover
# She was a wonderful craft She was rigged fore and aft
# And, oh, how the wild wind Drove her
# She had several blasts
# She had 27 masts
# And they called her
# The Irish Rover. # Ow!
CHEERING
They wanted excitement, and that was it!
# And we all fall down
# And we all fall down... #
The plan was get out there and give it our best. Be us.
And we did that.
Danny and Tom should have turned, right?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
That's right. Oh, we all didn't turn.
Not just me and Tom!
Why didn't you turn?!
They were dancing as well? AUDIENCE Yes!
They were good, though.
They were. They would've been good for the show, too.
They would have been.
I liked it a lot.
# Now I'll never get To change your mind... #
Well, we give it our all, so what more can we do?Exactly.
# You'll always be part of me. #
We're picky.
We are picky, yeah, but it's also...
We've got things we're looking for, yeah,
but also, it needs to reach that bar.
It needs to be on point.
Yeah.Man, I'd hate to be singing for us!
It's hard. It's hard.
STAGE MANAGER:We are ready for our next act. Thank you.
MUSIC: 'Sunroof' by Nicky Youre, Dazy & Thomas Rhett
Nice and cosy.
# I got my head Out the sunroof... #
My name is Nathan Grisdale.
I'm 29. I'm a musician from Blackburn.
So, I started singing around ten years ago.
I started posting videos online from my bathroom.
I came up with the idea to do personalised songs
where people would send me their story,
whether it be for a first dance song,
someone that's sadly lost a loved one,
even a gender reveal song. Like, you name it, I've done it.
For people to trust me with their stories
and then me be able to digest that into a song, it's very rewarding.
# You've taken the bad times And made 'em good... #
I live with my fiancee, Hayley, and my five-month-old, Renan.
Nathan is an amazing singer and just the best dad ever.
It's a big day, isn't it?
But, it's amazing to have little man... little man here
watching Daddy sing.
Renan was born two months early, so that was a very difficult time
cos it was sort of touch and go.
# I know it's hard for you to talk
# Bare your soul and open up... #
When he was born, he had sepsis at birth,
and he came out not breathing, so they had to revive him.
It was the most stressful time of our life, yeah. Very worrying.
# I'll be here To hold your hand... #
The song I am singing for my Blind Audition
is a song called I Promise
that I wrote for my son, Renan, when he was in intensive care.
I was Nathan's number one fan.
I would say Renan's Nathan's number one fan now.
The fact that I can have him here today
and sing this song means more than anything.
# Only you could make this Into something beautiful... #
I feel like everything we've been through as a family,
I feel like we deserve a bit of good news.
So hopefully today, we can get that with getting a turn.
# And I can't pretend to understand
# But I'll be here To hold your hand
# I will wait for you. #
MUSIC STARTS
# I just can't wait
# To see your face
# Your beautiful eyes reminding me
# The future I can't wait to see
# Holding your hand at the park
# Bedtime stories after dark
# I'll be there For your first breath
# And your first step And your first word
# Watching you grow
# Always holding you close
# You'll be Mummy's boy And Daddy's best mate
# Mmm
# I'll follow All your hopes and dreams
# And I'll give you everything I have to give
# And I promise I'll
# Do all I can
# See my baby boy
# Grow up to a man
# It will be so crazy
# Having a baby
# I never thought It would feel this way
# And I promise I'll
# Do all I can
# See my baby boy
# Grow up to be a man
# It will be so crazy
# Having a baby
# I never thought It would feel this way
# The way I feel today. #
CHEERING
Hi.
Hi. I'm a bit emotional. Sorry.
Oh, what's your name?
My name's Nathan Grisdale. I'm from Blackburn.
CHEERING
Wow. What made you so emotional?
So, that's an original song. SHE GASPS
Wow! I wrote it for my son. He was born two months early.
I wrote that song while he was in hospital
because the first week, he had, like, a little mask on.
And it was like, just can't wait to see your face.
We didn't see his face or hold him for a week. Aw.
Yeah, he's actually over there, bless him. Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh!
How old is he now?
He's five month, but he's very small for five months.
So you wrote the song, like, four months ago?
Er, yeah. That's a beautiful thing.
Oh, my God.
CHEERING
That's a great song.
Thank you so much. It's a beautiful song.
It sounds like a song that you've heard before cos it's so good.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
TOM FLETCHER: I'm kicking myself so much.
I don't know why I didn't press my button as well.
Cos I felt the lyrics.
The bit about, you know, being your best mate and, like,
Mummy's boy and your best mate. I was like, oh, man! That really...
I've got three little boys, and, like,
it makes me emotional talking about it, and I just...
I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't press my button.
But it's an amazing... an amazing song,
and you've got an incredible voice,
and what an amazing story. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I just love that you showed us your artistry
through your songwriting.
That was beautiful. Really, really beautiful.
And I could tell you were emotional.
There was some nerves there and some emotion, which I love.
But you did such a beautiful job of controlling that
and really gaining your composure to finish out the song.
You have an interesting, beautiful voice.
Like, just everything about it. I could feel your heart.
You have this really unique quality to your voice,
along with such a beautiful emotional landscape inside of you.
I'm so excited. Yeah, this is gonna be amazing. Thank you.
Welcome to Team LeAnn.
I'm excited. Can't wait. Let's do it!
You did a great job. Congrats, bro.
Yeah, tremendous.
Thank you. No, really. Really.
Welcome, mate. You are gonna be so amazing.
Thank you.
Congratulations. Thank you.
# I always knew... #
Oh, you did amazing! Still buzzing!
Daddy get a turn?
Congratulations. Thank you.
Isn't it amazing how, through a microphone,
he's singing to us facing the wrong way,
coming down out of the PA, and you're like,
"I'm feeling something."
Oh, yeah. I just love that he took the risk of performing his...
Definitely. Yeah, yeah.
That's really great. I like it. I like his bravery.
I think everybody in the building is emotional. It was beautiful.
Oh, thank you. He did us all proud.
Thank you for singing it here, and he's beautiful.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'll see you at the Callbacks. Thanks. See you later. Thank you.
(man sings in swing style) # Movin' on up
# Yeah, we're coming alive... #
CHEERING
Everyone, give it up for the band. How amazing are they?
CHEERING
Woohoo!
Do you reckon I could have made it in The Voice band?
BAND:Yeah!
Basically, what I'm trying to say is I want to leave McFly
and join that band. You want to go join them?
Is that possible?
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
What d'you reckon?
Wait, you're going to play music
while the singers come out and sing?
Stay in charge of this button, OK? Don't worry.
CHEERING
INDISTINCT
What key? G minor.
It's a bit of pressure, innit?
It's someone's audition.
I've got to think like Danny now.
That's pretty easy.
# Rough seas might pull me under
# And dark clouds Might dim my days... #
What's happening? Hey.
How we doing? I'm good.
Are we ready? Yeah, we're ready.
Cool. Let's do it.
I'm Calum Jones.
I'm 23, and I'm from the northeast of Scotland.
# I am a mountain And down in the valley below... #
I live in a tiny little four-house town
on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere.
It's a really beautiful place to live.
I'm a pretty quiet person. I'm not a guy for crowds.
What I love to do is build guitars.
I'll happily sit and sand a guitar for, like, six hours a day.
His whole life evolves around his music.
He gigs every night, pretty much.
You can find him in a pub in Inverness somewhere
every night of every week of every year.
And he's been like that from when he was very young.
Some of the pubs I play in are, like, old.
My regular crowd is three people at the bar, if that.
It's not like I'm gonna get the chance every day
for LeAnn Rimes to walk in looking for a pint.
So I'm gonna make this one count.
Coming here today is, like, worlds apart
from the small, tiny pubs with no-one in them.
I just need to make sure that I'm not overthinking things.
Like, switch those nerves off and do what I know I can do.
If you're doing the silence before, he might look back at me,
so you don't want him to see your face.
So I'll just get down...
From the start, yeah?
Have you seen what's happening? Yes. Yeah.
Is Danny actually gonna play when he's singing?
That's mega-cool!
And here we go. Three seconds.
# Oh, what a beautiful feeling
# To love And know love in return... #
I'm just a small-town country boy, but I've got big aspirations,
so I'm gonna put everything I can possibly put into it
and make it count.
WHISPERS:I'm terrified!

# I needed somewhere To hang my head
# Without your noose
# You gave me something I didn't have

# Oh, I was too weak to give in
# Too strong to lose
# Is someone getting the best The best, the best

Yes!
Wow!

Hello, mate!
What's up, dude? What's up, dude?
How are you, man? Good, mate. You?
Confused now!
There's Tom. Cool, yeah, I figured that one.
Yeah.
How are you doing? All right, folks, how are you all?
What's your name? My name is Calum.
Where are you from? Scotland. Nice.
Wow.
Oh, my God, I'm so happy for him!
Can you not tell that you had an extra guitarist behind you?
Um... no.
LAUGHTER
# La, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da-da! #
I just went to the loo. I just went to the loo.
That was an amazing audition. Me and Danny have been waiting for
someone with a voice that is just like yours to come along.
As soon as you started singing,
I thought you had some of those rich, rock, raspy qualities
that I think Danny's got in his voice as well.
And that's exactly the kind of singer that I think
we are missing from our team.
And also, with me and Danny, there's obviously two of us.
We have a definite divide in our music tastes,
but there is a crossover.
And I think where we cross over is with a voice like yours.
Thank you. Thank you.
As soon as I saw Tom hit the button,
I knew what he was looking for, you see,
so I thought, well, why should I compete with that?
But I love what you did. You sounded like you meant it.
I tried to. And I like that.
Thank you.
Hi, Calum. I also know what Tom and Danny are looking for,
but I chose to compete because I love your voice.
It is so powerful and so raw
and really interesting, and I love that song.
You had me jamming back there.
Taylor Hawkins is a dear friend of mine and my neighbour, actually.
I... I... I'm just a fan.
Yeah. I would love to have you on Team LeAnn.
That was awesome.
How old did you say you were again?
Twenty-three.
I used to be 23.
# A long, long time ago! #
INDISTINCT
Age is an amazing thing. You know, it's like,
I used to be a grape.
Now I'm almost a wine.
But back to you. You are awesome.
You have an awesome choice between the lads and the lady.
Now it's time for you to select who's gonna be your coach.
# Millions of hours become days
# Your pictures They keep me awake... #
Did you come here with someone in mind, or are you confused?
Do you need more help? I'm always confused, man.
Help is always needed.
I'll be honest, I did come here with an idea
of who I was looking to pick. Yeah.
I absolutely love you, and Coyote Ugly - banging film.
Just so you know. Thank you.
CHEERING
That was my introduction to you. Oh, wow.
And I grew up with you guys.
Room On The 3rd Floor was one of my first albums that I heard.
So, yeah...
If it's chill with you boys, I'd love to come and jam.
Oh, yeah.
He wants to jam!
Very nice.
INDISTINCT
Welcome to the team, Calum. Thank you.
Super-talented. So nice to meet you. Yeah.
Congratulations. You're in good hands.
I enjoyed it.
DANNY:Gonna have some fun, mate. Well done.
That was amazing.
CHEERING
Woohoo! Sorry, LeAnn.
Oh, no. I knew. I knew. But I had to try.
You did so good.
He was great. Yeah, he's got a great voice.
Yeah. And cool look. Like, the whole thing.
I mean, I didn't take too much of it in.
Cos I was kind of trying not... To mess up his audition.
Trying not to mess up his audition. Yeah.
I love that you're like, "Oh, oh, Danny's back there?!"
Yeah. I had no idea.
Now we got young pop rock, which is great.
I want my rock guy. I need that, like, gritty guy.
You guys have a couple now,
so hopefully I can steal one from you.
Uh-oh. LAUGHTER
Good job, boys. Yeah.
DANNY: Sir Tom, can I ask you a question?Yeah.
One of my inspirations is Kelly Jones from the Stereophonics.
Yeah. You've worked with him before, right?
Yeah. The first thing we did was Mama Told Me Not To Come.
What a song!Which was from the Reload album that I did in 2000.
And we did it in the studio, but live.
And Kelly's looking at me. I'm playing,
you know, and he's looking like. So afterwards, I said, "OK."
He said, "I was thinking to myself,
"I'm singing with Tom... Jones!"
It was tremendous. INDISTINCT
Huh? AUDIENCE MEMBER:Sing it!
Have you ever done it? No.
I would love... I would love to.
I mean, we'd be privileged, wouldn't we, Tom?
I'd love to. It'd be amazing to jam.
Do we have time? Do we have time? CHEERING
Shall we get some guitars? Get some guitars.
Oh, yeah. One, one, one, one, one. Hey!
AUDIENCE:Hey! Yeah!
AUDIENCE:Yeah!
All right. Should we see what happens?
Yeah. We ready? Yeah.

STAGE MANAGER: Ladies and gents in the audience,
this is our final performance today.
OK, the last one.
I want to hear Wilson Pickett.
Aretha Franklin, Sammy D!
Kick it!
Couple of deep breaths. SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
Tom, did you work with Aretha? Yep, when I had a TV show.
Uh-huh. Years ago, she came on there.
How was that? How was that, working with her?
Great to sing with her. You know, in...
When we were rehearsing, the volume, you know, the projection.
And then as soon as she stopped singing,
she was so quiet.Oh, really? You know, she didn't...
She hardly spoke. Timid. Interesting.
Yeah. Really.
I mean, that's the complete opposite of what I would have...
Yeah. No, but lovely, though, you know?
Tremendous voice. Oh, my God.
Ridiculous. Yeah.
AUDIENCE MEMBER:We love you, Tom!
# Grow as we go Oh, oh, oh
# Grow as we grow... # My name's Ace.
I'm 20 years old, and I'm a bar manager in Oxford.
Ready.
# You threw your head back And you spit in the wind... #
Being a bar manager takes a lot.
I'm either in the office doing admin, behind the bar,
making drinks, pouring pints.
There's a million different things I have to do all the time.
But it's quite exciting.
I was born and raised in Vietnam, had such a unique childhood.
Blue beaches with white sand and hot sun beaming down on you.
When I was a kid, I knew from the get-go
I wasn't quite supposed to be in the form that I was given.
I was never meant to be a boy or a man.
I always knew that I was trans.
I had an imaginary friend.
She was ultra-feminine, confident,
didn't care about what others thought of her.
She was everything I wanted to be.
And when I moved to the UK,
she was who I had sort of become in my transition.
# Whenever you're ready... #
It feels amazing to be sitting here as my full self
without anything holding me back and...
just be able to share what I love, which is music.
When you were little, when you're off stage...
you keep yourself to yourself, and you're reserved,
and you're quiet, but when you're on stage,
you're a different person, and you always have been.
Ace experienced a lot of things
that someone her age
probably shouldn't have had to go through.
But she's done it, and she's come out stronger,
and I am so proud of the young woman that she's become.
She's strong, she's bubbly, she's energetic,
she's powerful, and she's driven...
and she's great.
The song I'm singing is such a big, powerful song.
It's a lot of pressure.
How you feeling? Nervous.
'But this is such an amazing opportunity,
'and I just want to make everyone in my life proud.'
# Oh, you say I'm yours
# And I believe Oh, oh, oh
# Oh, I believe... #
There she is! There she is.
# I believe... #

Hi. What's your name?
Ace. Ace?Ace?
That was ace! Thank you.
I really have to pinch myself.
I can't believe I'm stood in front of all five of you right now.
DANNY:Where are you from? I was originally born in Vietnam,
and I moved to the UK four years ago.
Now I live in Oxford.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I mean, your style is amazing.
Like, when I turned around, I was like, "Oh, yeah!"
Just a beautiful, beautiful young woman.
I loved the dynamics of your vocals. I felt you.
You are truly magical. You took me on a ride.
And I can hear the youth in your voice,
but there's also this kind of old soul to you, too.
It's a beautiful blend. Thank you. Yeah. Stunning.
Thank you.
One of the things that I liked about it, you didn't try
to sing it like Aretha Franklin. You know, you came through there.
It was refreshing.
And I loved it.
Thank you so much. You did a wonderful job.
I think we're in the presence of something really special.
Artists and singers at the top of their game
carry their talent in such an endearing way.
You feel like you've got a special aura around you,
which is incredible.
You even stand well.
Well, I'm on national television now. I can't be hunching my back.
I can't be... You gotta strike the moment.
Yeah!
I know that Tom said you stand well. And how do we sit?
Like a boss. Wahey!
I would say, personally.
You're the type of singer, if you were on my team...
..and I didn't have anyone else on my team...
..I would feel like I don't need anybody else on my team.
Cos you're amazing. LEANN:Yeah.
I got a songbird if you was on my team.
It's a good pitch.
When you get someone like you who is an undeniable talent,
you have to turn.
And we would absolutely be honoured to have you
on our team and do everything that we could
to support your incredible, unique gift of a voice.
Thank you.
I think the biggest question is,
what kind of artist do you want to be?
We aren't here to turn you into anything that you're not.
You're here to tell us, "This is where I want to head",
and we're here to push you out of your comfort zone.
Like sat-nav. Like what?
WILL:What's sat-nav? What's sat-nav?
Type in your destination. We'll take you.
Exactly. Oh, GPS.
I like that. I like it, I like it.
I'm looking at a star.
You just need some guidance, and I would love to be that for you.
Thank you.
Well, I don't have anybody like you on my team,
and I would just love for you to come with me.
I think I can get songs for you.
I think I can get the best out of you, honestly.
And I'm not just blowing my own trumpet.
I mean, I feel what you do.
You're a great singer, and I would love to have you with me.
Thank you.
Oh, Lord. I actually have to make a decision.
Yeah.
