Explosions.
Please welcome our superstar coaches - Olly Murs.
Sir Tom Jones.
Will.i.am.
And, making her Voice debut, it's Anne-Marie.
CHEERING
Get ready. It is time to start the Blind Auditions.
We're back! Yes!
The Voice. It's here.
THEY VOCALISE
# We... # Bring it!
Oi, oi!
I feel like everyone's dreamed of sitting in that chair.
Welcome to my team.
I love deep voices. I love rappers.
I love current vibes. I can't wait.
Oh, my God!
Anne-Marie sings really freakin' awesome.
# ..0f 2002... #
She has collaborated with the top, top artists in the industry.
# 99 problems, singing bye, bye, bye Hold up... #
# No-one can rewrite the stars... #
# Rockabye, baby, rockabye... #
And her single with Clean Bandit,
called Rockabye, was at number one for nine weeks.
# Yeah, you Ciao, adios, I'm done. #
Woo-hoo!
Tom Jones is a ledge.
His voice is unbelievable.
Yo, bro, salute you.
I love what he brings to The Voice. Wha-what?
He's been doing it since day one. He's so weird.
Wham-bam-boo.
I think I'm gonna love him.
# Do you like a cup of tea? #
Whoa-whoa, big up Olly. Whoo!
I won The Voice two years back to back. Hoo-hoo!
Can I make it a third?
# So incredible... #
This series, there is a brand-new twist.
The block button has arrived.
I can't believe I got blocked, man.
This is out of order.
Say, for example, there's an awesome singer,
and I hit the button first,
I can block one of the other coaches.
Let the battle begin.
What's great about it is they don't know you've blocked them.
Ah-ha-ha! No! What?
You're blocked. GIGGLES
Argh!
This is great.
TOM WHISTLES It's time to start turning.
Voice 2021.
This is the party.
Yes!
# So incredible. #
My name is... Oh.
Shall I say Mariam Davina or Mariam? Sorry!
Can I do that again? Sorry.
My name is Mariam.
I'm 18 years old, and I'm a part-time hairdresser,
and I work part-time at McDonald's.
I've grown up in Brixton, living with my mum
and my older brother, Jerome.
I enjoy living with them. I mean, they are good kids.
We share jokes. Sometimes we annoy each other.
Make sure you do it properly,
because you're gonna cook for wilLLam.
GOSPEL MUSIC PLAYS
I began singing in church, where I was in a children's choir.
Gospel music makes me feel amazing. I might have to change.
I always say "amazing".
I absolutely loved it, and from a young age,
I just knew all I wanted to do was sing.
It's just amazing to me.
Sorry!
She loves singing.
She sings all the time, and it's, like, beautiful voice.
I used to be a singer myself. I used to sing myself.
Now I can't sing any more.
I don't always see myself working doing hair
and working at McDonald's.
I just want to be performing on big stages, singing to big crowds,
and doing what I love for the rest of my life.
Hello, virtual audience! Wow.
Hey, everybody at home.
"Love you, Sir Tom," look.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling fine. I'm excited.
I'm excited for you as well. Oh, my God.
I can see we've got new buttons, though.
Yeah, we got block buttons. These buttons stress me out.
Basically, we can block whoever we want.
Yes.
Please don't block me. I'm new here.
I won't block you. Let's be nice to Anne-Marie.
I swear to you - I'm not gonna use it for Anne-Marie.
Are you hearing this, guys?
Yeah, and you're not gonna pick Tom. So it's gonna be you!
ALL LAUGH
I've always performed to a congregation,
but now I'm going to be performing on The Voice stage.
So, Anne-Marie, how are you feeling?
Honestly, my heart is beating really fast.
Just ease yourself in.
You don't have to press the button straightaway.
Even if they're really good, just, you know... Shut up!
Voice 2021. It begins, right now.
Today means everything to me,
so I'm gonna make sure that I put everything into this.
Go on, girl! Whoo!
Woo-hoo! Bring it.
Yes!
# I tried to talk to my piano
# I tried to talk to my guitar... #
APPLAUSE # Talk to my imagination
# Confided into alcohol
# I tried and tried And tried some more
# Told secrets Till my voice was sore
# Tired of empty conversation
# Cos no-one hears me any more
# A hundred million stories And a hundred million songs
# I feel stupid when I sing
# Nobody's listening to me
# Nobody's listening
# Anyone, please send me anyone... # CHEERING
# Lord, is there anyone?
# I need someone... # Go on!
# Anyone
# I need anyone
# Whoa, anyone
# I need someone, oh!
# A hundred million stories And a hundred million songs
# I feel stupid when I sing
# Nobody's listening to me
# Nobody's listening. #
CHEERING
Whoa.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What's your name?
My name is Mariam, and I'm 18 years old.
What?! And where are you from? I'm from Brixton in South London.
Wha-what!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one, yeah!
You know why that song was a great selection?
Lyrically, it fit perfectly.
Yeah. Right? Your voice is, like, superb.
I thought it was two people, because when you got up there,
it was a totally different texture of your voice from when you started.
YES, yes, yes, yes!
But I think that was just your nerves.
She's having a lovely time. Yes!
But I overthought it, and I apologise for my overthinking.
That's OK.
That song is hard to sing, and you sang it with ease,
and then as soon as I turned round, I just saw your emotion,
and that's so hard to find in someone.
That's something special, so I just think you're amazing.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
A long time. Since I was three.
Thank you so much.
I had to press my button early,
because I fell in love with your voice, and I just wanted to see you.
And, like Anne-Marie said, the emotion that you poured across
whilst I was sat watching you, you were just effortless.
Mm. It's gonna be amazing to see how you grow in this competition
with me as your coach, cos I know you're gonna pick me.
LAUGHTER
I want... I want you.
You want me? I'm already here. No, not you. Oh.
You're just already amazing.
I think you're gonna get to the final already.
D-d-d-damn. Predictions.
Go, girl!
That came from Tom Jones. Yeah.
I think your voice is gold, you know?
I think it's platinum.
Wow. Erm... Who should I pick?
Trust your gut.
I'm going to pick...
...Tom.
Wow!
Well done.
Mariam, well done. Thank you so much.
That one hurt.
Ooh!
She was so good.
I'm jealous about that.
I can't believe I'm gonna be working with the legend, Tom Jones.
I'm just so excited.
I love you. I love you too.
ANNE-MARIE: This is well 'ard. It is, innit? This is well hard.
It's well 'ard! Hm?
This is 'ard. Oh. I thought you said it was odd.
I'm ready for the next one.
Who's gonna be the first one on your team, Anne-Marie?
That's what I wanna know.
I'm just looking for something raw, like...
No tricks, no... trying too hard.
I also want a rapper. A rapper?
Yeah.
You want a rapper? Yeah. Yeah.
Exactly. Psht!
I'm Billy Beech, I'm 17, and I'm from Grimsby.
Grimsby is a lovely little town.
It's like one of those neighbourhoods
where everybody knows everybody.
We're always going down to the shop, "Oh, hiya. You all right?"
I live with my mum, my dad, and my cute but ugly little pug, Marley.
Me and my family are so close... Thanks.
...and my nana is, like, my best friend.
We could talk for hours.
I'm more like his cousin than his nanna.
We have that many fun days together.
Growing up, I've always been part of choirs.
I've always been, like, "Miss, could I have a solo?
"Could I sing a little bit on my own?"
# If I only had the nerve... #
First time I remember Billy singing,
he'd be about two-and-a-half, three years old.
And it was Sex Bomb, round the pool.
A bit different to Grimsby, innit?
I feel like I've been so lucky to have such a supportive family.
They've been behind me every single step of the way.
I'm so proud of you, Billy. I'm sure you know by now, don't you?
I want to make them as proud as possible.
I'm very, very nervous,
but I'm just gonna go out there and sing for my life.
The ultimate dream, for me, is to make a living out of music.
I've only got one shot at this,
and I'm gonna get those coaches to turn around.
Hi, Billy.
# I swear to God When I come home... #
APPLAUSE # I'm gonna hold you so close
# I swear to God, when I come home
# I'll never let go... #
Come on, Bill!
# And I need you to know
# That we're fallin' so fast
# We're fallin' like the stars
# And fallin' in love... # He's going for it.
# I swear to God, every day
# He won't take you away
# Cos without you, babe I lose my way, oh... #
Whoo! # And I need you to know
# That we're fallin' so fast
# We're fallin' like the stars
# And fallin' in love
# Whoa, I'm not scared To say those words
# With you, I'm safe
# We're fallin' like the stars
# And fallin' in love. #
APPLAUSE
Never nice, not pressing the button, though.
Oh, God, that was horrible.
# I'm falling again
# I'm falling... #
Obviously, the coaches weren't feeling it.
I sung for my life,
and I'm just proud of myself for getting out there.
I feel quite sad.
It's horrible, isn't it?
James Arthur sings that song with such passion and emotion.
If you're gonna sing someone's song, you've got to make it your own,
or give it something, and he just didn't give it enough, for me.
This is what I'm worried about. I want 20 spaces.
I need more.
You did really well, Bill, yeah. Really good, Bill.
Yeah, well done.
Yeah, we are.
FLOOR MANAGER: Stand by, coaches. Here we go.
How are you feeling? Yeah, all right.
Nervous? Bit nervous, but...
You'll do us proud, I know. Thank you. You'll be fine.
I'm Nathan Smoker. I'm 20 years old.
I'm an intern for a digital marketing company,
and I live in south-east London. Got a lot of energy all of the time.
I don't stop moving, don't stop tapping. Bit of a cheeky chappie.
I've been singing for a very, very long time. I'm always singing.
# Welcome to my Christmas song... #
Aside from singing, I play football with some of my mates.
Nice touch.
Mate, let's just hope your singing's better than your football.
At home, it's just me and mum and dad.
We're all really close.
We're always in the kitchen together. I'm always cooking.
Safe to say, my spag bol is absolutely banging.
Bit of music on, and everyone knows
they can always come round on a Friday for a good old dance up.
Mum and Dad have always backed me when I'm doing my music,
and it's really nice having that support behind me.
I think this is one of Nathan's biggest days of his life.
He will smash it.
The gigs that I've done already
are a far cry from what I've got to do today.
If one of the coaches turn, it could mean I can be a singer full-time,
and that is my end goal.
Just gonna go on that stage and give the best performance that I can.
And, hopefully, it's enough for someone to turn round.
Go on, boy. Go on.
# Love
# I have wounds
# Only you can mend
# You can mend
# Oh, oh, oh
# I guess that's love... #
Go on. # I can't pretend
# Oh, oh, oh
# My skin is rough... #
CHEERING # But it can be cleansed
# It can be cleansed... #
# Oh, oh, oh... # CHEERING
# My arms are tough... # Yes!
# But they can be bent
# They can be bent
# And I wanna fight
# But I can't contend... #
0h!
# Feel our bodies grow
# And our souls, they play, yeah
# Yeah, love, I hope you know
# How much my heart depends
# Depends!
# I guess that's love
# I can't pretend
# Oh, oh, oh. # Go on!
CHEERING
Whoo! Thank you so much.
I'm not sitting down.
I'm Nathan.
Nathan Smoker.
Sorry, I'm shaking a bit.
I'm from south-east London.
South-east Lon-don!
Nice to meet all of you.
20!
20, yeah. Well, I'm still giving you a standing ovation. I'm still here.
You haven't sat down. Thank you. I'm not sitting down.
That was one of the best performances I've seen on The Voice,
since I've been here, anyway. That was...
honestly, phenomenal. Thank you so much.
I'm fighting now. That's it. I'm here. Do you know what I mean?
You're just a regular guy come up and sing like that.
Reminds me of someone, you know.
I can't think of what it was.
It'll come to me in a minute.
I think he was on X Factor. That's the one! That's the one.
ANNE-MARIE: Ohhhh!
Thank you very much.
ANNE-MARIE: Listen... Can I fight now?
It's already over. I mean, I turned first, so...
I really would love you on my team.
It takes a special voice of a boy to get me, and you got me.
It was so pure and natural.
I'll be fighting for you the whole way,
I'll work with you through everything.
And, yeah, pick me.
It takes a special man to pick me.
And turn my head.
OK. I won't sit down until you pick me.
ANNE-MARIE: N0! Shh. I'm not. Because that...
If there was a crowd here now, everyone would be on their feet.
That was a phenomenal performance.
You deserved a four-chair turn for that,
cos that was seriously a fantastic performance.
The reason why I didn't press my button
is not because you weren't awesome,
I just saw that it was gonna be a very serious pitch,
and you don't want to step on toes like that.
I think we're only scratching the surface
of where you can go and what you can do.
I think I'm gonna go with Olly. Yeah!
Whoo!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I knew he would. ANNE-MARIE: I'm fuming.
See, if I'd turned, it would've got violent.
I don't wanna get violent. I don't wanna get violent that fast.
I am so angry right now. I went hard.
You were trying so hard that he was like,
"How I supposed to let you down?" That's what you've got to do.
You've got to fight for what you believe in. I fight.
He's got a lovely vibe about him. He's cheeky, he's fun...
Yeah. Proper. Great passion. Great voice.
He's a potential winner, in my eyes.
I'm absolutely buzzing to be working with Olly.
Bring on the Battles.
Anne-Marie, how are you finding it hearing just their voices
and not actually being able to see them?
It is really hard, actually, because I go and watch live shows
because I want to see them perform. Mm.
But, also, I think it's perfect,
because this should be about the voice and the voice only.
I'm really glad it isn't, because I wouldn't have a career otherwise.
Oh, look, there. There it is.
As if they're all just sat in there now.
I'm excited.
My name is Lauren Drew.
I'm 27 years old, and I'm a musical theatre performer
from a little town called Port Talbot in South Wales.
I knew I always wanted to be on stage.
As soon as I played Sandy in Grease when I was 11, I knew I loved it.
I was obsessed. Musical theatre was like the Holy Grail for me.
That was the absolute dream, when I was a kid.
I met my boyfriend, Sam, in my first ever professional musical, Ghost.
He's been ripping his hair out
because I've been singing the same song for this audition
over and over and over again,
but, hopefully, practice makes perfect.
Doing The Voice is important to me
because it's one of the first opportunities I've had
to be me on a stage.
I'm not playing a part.
It's nerve-racking, but I'm so excited.
When I see Lauren walk out on that stage,
there'll be butterflies in my stomach.
But I have every confidence in her, and I know she's gonna smash it.
If somebody turned, it would be incredibly life-changing for me,
because I'll be able to pursue my dreams as a singer
for the first time.
Go on.
# Wow There is something going down
# Like a storm in the sky
# I ain't gonna be played By your behaviour
# How can I trust someone Who's lying to me?
# So, huh, Mama knows best When times get hard
# And Papa always has a joke... # Whoo! There we go.
# To make me laugh
# See, Mama knows best When I feel down
# To bring me up
# And always keep my feet On the ground
# Just be the best My daddy said to me
# Always use humour As your therapy, yeah
# Never take life too seriously
# Just do you Cos you do you so perfectly
# Yeah... #
Come on!
# Yeah... #
0h!
# See, Mama knows best When times are hard
# And Papa always has a joke To make me laugh
# See, Mama knows best When I feel down
# To bring me up and always keep My feet on solid ground
# Yeah, yeah, yeah. #
CHEERING
Get in.
What's your name? Lauren Drew.
Hi, Lauren Drew. Where you from? I'm from South Wales, Port Talbot.
ALL: Whoa!
ANNE-MARIE: Wales! Course!
I thought you sang freakin' what the what...
I turned around, like, right away. You have a very strong presence.
It was like, whoa.
Really, really amazing talent.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate that.
Thank you.
Aw, you just dropped that, didn't you?
Fantastic performance.
You know, you really did smash that out the park.
You deserve a four-chair turn, so well done.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Really appreciate that.
Amazing.
I... I literally feel speechless, like...
You were so good.
You sounded so beautiful,
and I just didn't hear any nerves in your voice,
and that means that you're great, so...
I mean, I don't wanna say too much yet.
It's pitch time.
Pitch time, OK.
I would like to make yourjourney here on The Voice a joyful one,
and give you the perspective of anything is possible,
and show you the kind of things that worked for me in my career,
so I would love to have you on my team.
I didn't think I was gonna turn for a voice like yours,
which is why I think it's so special.
I just didn't expect it from me,
and I feel like we would work well together.
I can just give you everything that I have at the moment
in the industry, and work with you through it.
Lauren, I think it's just, for me, you've got the confidence,
you've got the voice.
It really comes down to who you connect with the most,
and who you believe will take you to the final,
because that's where you should be.
LAUREN: Thank you so much.
SIGHS Wow. Um...
OK.
Oh, this is such a hard decision.
All right.
I'm gonna pick Anne-Marie. ANNE-MARIE CHEERS
CHEERING
Yay!
Well done.
Yay!
ANNE-MARI E SCREAMS
Yes, Anne-Marie. That was a good one.
I am well happy. Nailed it.
"Good luck, Lauren." ls that her family there?
That is!
She didn't need any luck.
Wow, your daughter's got an amazing voice.
Oh, that's my parents! Oh, there they are!
Anyway, great to speak to you.
I literally can't believe... I actually cannot believe it.
First person.
Congrats. Yay!
Thank you so much.
I love you too. You're the best.
AS MICKEY: There he is right there. In the middle.
Imagine if he actually spoke like that.
WILL IMPERSONATES MICKEY MOUSE
Oh, if Will did?
That's pretty cool.
All I'm seeing on the screen now is "Anne-Marie, sing 2002."
"Anne-Marie, sing..."
So I think to celebrate you've got one in your team,
the fans at home want you to sing 2002.
CHEERING Oh.
CHEERING She's doing it.
Yeah. Yes!
I just need the key.
GUITAR CHORD
# I... I will always... #
Yes.
SONG: '2002'
# I will always remember... #
CHEERING # The day you kissed my lips
# Light as a feather
# And it went just like this
# No, it's never been better
# Than that summer
# Of 2002... #
# Oo-ooh
# We were only 11
# But acting like grown-ups
# Like we are in the present
# Drinking from plastic cups
# Singing love is forever and ever
# Well, I guess that was true
# Oo-ooh... # LAUGHS
# Dancing on the hood In the middle of the woods
# On an old Mustang Where we sang
# Songs with All our childhood friends
# And it went like this Say oops, I got
# 99 problems, singing bye, bye, bye Hold up
# If you wanna go And take a ride with me
# Better hit me, baby, one more time
# Paint a picture for you and me On the clays when we were young
# Singing at the top of Both our lungs... #
Whoo!
# On the day we fell in love
# Na, na, na
# On the day we fell in love
# Love, love. # CHEERING
ANNE-MARIE LAUGHS
Yes!
That song is really, like, awesomely written.
Thank you.
I got so excited, I broke my button.
LAUGHTER
Yeah! How many you got now?
I got one. Tom's got one in the can.
I got one. Will's got none. Come on.
Whoo!
Also, no-one's been blocked yet.
Who's first?
Are you nervous?
Yeah, I'm nervous. I'm excited, though.
I'm Okulaja, I'm 17 years old, and I'm a student.
At school, I am so honoured to say that I am head boy.
I love coming into school early.
I love having conversations with the teachers.
I love talking to them about what's happening in the news,
spending time in the music block,
writing music, getting my creative juices flowing.
I took politics as an A-level,
and we were studying past Prime Ministers, and I looked at the list,
and there wasn't a Black Prime Minister,
so I thought to myself, "You know what?
"Why can't I be the first black Prime Minister?"
Number 10, I'm coming your way.
I'm a little bit nervous.
Because you're going on a really big stage.
It's really big.
Are you excited to see it? Yeah.
I'm nervous about today's Blind Audition,
because I'm performing a song that everyone knows about,
but I'm putting my own twist on it,
and I've taken inspiration from Martin Luther King's speech.
It's his most famous speech - "l have a dream."
When my brother's up there performing,
I really hope he gets four turns.
Today is so big for me,
because it's a message to all the young people that watch me.
I just want to show them that, regardless of what people say,
you can still be powerful
and chase every single thing that you want to achieve in life.
Voice UK...
...welcome to my dream.
# I had a dream I got everything I wanted
# Not what you'd think
# Yo, and if I'm being honest
RAPS: # Had a dream Had a couple fears too
# Scored five years You could add a couple years too
# Tried flow I'm drowning in the thrill of it
# I'm trying to help I'm just mastering the skill of it
# I had a dream One day I will realise
# I must define Looking in your real eyes
# I had a dream I struggled, but I won it
# I just want the world to judge My character and not my colour, MLK!
SINGS: # I had a dream

CHEERING
Whoo.
What's your name? My name's Okulaja. I'm 17 years old.
That's awesome, bro. You wrote that song?
Yeah. So, obviously, it's a Billie Eilish hook.
I got some of the words from Martin Luther King's famous speech,
and I incorporated it in the rap, so...
Yeah.
Wow. I just want the world to judge my character, and not my colour.
That's the reason why I turned.
You know, music is expression, music is escape, and I felt that,
and for me not to turn for that would be a crime.
We could use some waking up, in a very gentle, urgent way,
so you're on Team Will.
Hey, let's go! Let's go!
I appreciate that so much.
Your energy is so nice.
I wanted to turn so bad, but I left it too late,
and he went at the last minute.
I feel like I'm really jealous.
Thank you.
So, who knows what will happen?
Thank you. Listen, I've got to say,
your personality and your energy lights up the room.
All three of us are gutted now that we didn't press our button.
It's gonna be really exciting to see what you do next. Well done.
Team Will! Thank you guys so much.
Thank you.
Well done, mate. So good.
Aah!
Oh, I really... I really loved him.
I'm on The Voice UK! Oh, you guys!
I should've. I should've turned. GROANS
Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
Come on, come on!
Team Will! ALL:
The Voice audience, are you enjoying the talent?
In your living room. I wish I could just have some crisps with you all.
Or some scones or some tea or something.
Chinese takeaway. That'd be lovely. Oh!
Oh, Saturday night, Chinese, The Voice, come on.
Hello. You all right?
My name's Drew Thomas.
I'm 27, and I'm from a town called Grantham, near Nottingham.
My family aren't massively musical,
but my older sister, she definitely introduced me to the Spice Girls
when I was about three years old.
I think she will claim
that's probably where my musicaljourney started.
I'm well excited, although I'm completely nervous.
I mean, that's natural. You're gonna be nervous.
But you're gonna do amazing.
Primary school, I had singing and piano lessons.
As I turned, I think, like, 13, I really wanted to start a band.
This band I was in, we honestly thought we were gonna make it.
We were gonna tour the world, gonna be number one album,
all that kind of thing. Didn't happen.
As things do, things just kind of fell apart.
People just had life commitments.
Instead of going to university or anything like that,
I decided that I wanted to make music the main aim for my life.
I just decided to start playing solos, just me and my piano,
around bars or basements or, if I'm lucky, a jazz bar or something.
As an unsigned singer, it's really, really difficult
to be able to show a big amount of people what you do.
He's really wanted this for such a long time,
and now he's just got to go out and prove that he doesn't need
anybody else but himself to make his dreams come true.
Being successful on The Voice will open up a lot of doors for me
that have been closed.
Getting a record deal,
and being able to be a full-time musician would just be insane.
This is definitely the moment.
I always have that horrible fear that something's gonna go wrong.
I'm just gonna give it everything I've got.
# I can see you standing, honey
# With his arms around your body
# Laughing But the joke's not funny at all
# And it took you five whole minutes
# To pack us up and leave me with it
# Holding all this love Out here in the hall
# I think I've seen this film before
# And I didn't like the ending
# You're not my homeland any more
# So what am I defending now?
# Cos you were my crown
# But now I'm in exile Seeing you out
# I think I've seen this film before
# So I'm leaving
# Out the side door... # APPLAUSE
# Oh, step right out
# There is no amount
# Of crying I can do for you
# All this time... # APPLAUSE
# We always walked a very thin line
# You didn't even hear me out
# You never gave a warning sign So many times
# So many times... # CHEERING
# So many times
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Oh, I'm in pieces
# It's tearing me up
# But I know... #
# A heart that's broke
# ls a heart that's been loved
# So I sing Hallelujah... #
I feel like we should've turned, you know.
We've let a really good singer go.
That was a great performance.
We made a mistake then.
I thought one of yous two were gonna...
I'd be gutted if I was backstage now.
GROANS
# And wiped a tear From the side of my face. #
Maybe it wasn't their taste,
or they weren't looking for someone like me on their team
this time around.
It is hard.
Ah, it's all right.
If you're watching this now, whoever you are,
you should be really proud of yourself.
We're really sorry we didn't press our button. Mm.
Because that was a very, very good performance.
It's really hard.
We made a bad mistake, right.
It's gonna be one of those shows that we watch,
and we're gonna be like, "Why didn't we turn?"
We're idiots!
SIGHS
Wow, this is really awesome.
We have people, like, at home watching virtually.
There's so many people.
"Sir Tom, give me a 'yeah'."
You're in their living room, Tom!
They got Tom in the house, literally. Tom's in the house!
Tom, you turned 80 this year.
Really?
They're all wishing you a happy birthday now, Tom.
There's an 80 balloon up there.
# Happy birthday!
# Happy birthday, Tom.
# Oh, yeah, you turning 80 But you still got it going on... #
Brilliant.
# Tom Jones turned 80... # AUDIENCE CLAP ALONG
# But he got some ladies Yeah, he's a sex bomb
# And he drive them ladies crazy
# Happy birthday You're 80
# Happy birthday to Tom. #
APPLAUSE
So good. Yeah.
I'm a bit nervous, obviously, but I keep my smile and put my front on.
I'm Jeremy Levif, I'm 29 years old, and I'm French and German teacher.
I absolutely love the job. It's great.
And I often use singing to help the pupils better learn the language.
I'm from France, but I have lived in Scotland for seven years,
and four years ago, I met my beautiful fiancee, Kirsty.
I metjeremy at a friend's birthday party.
He was the only man at the party,
For him to be my fiance, I'm so lucky. He's just amazing.
Jeremy is French.
However, he wears a kilt, he plays the bagpipes...
He can turn his hand to a couple of Scottish phrases.
SCOTTISH ACCENT: All right, pal? How you doin'?
What's your chat?
He really is a Scotsman, deep down.
Remember to breathe.
Look past the chairs.
I really want to make Kirsty proud,
and I'm adding a wee bit of a je ne sais quoi moment to this song.
I really hope the coaches will get on board with that.
There's a lot of pressure on today,
because if one of the coaches turned,
it could really help me become the singer I dream to be.
It would be amazing if it happened.
'I hope to do my best to convey the song as best as I can.'
Smash it.
# How long will I love you?
# As long as stars are above you
# Longer, if I can
# How long will I need you?
# As long as the seasons need to
# Follow their plan
# How long will I be with you?
# As long as the sea is bound to
# Wash up on the sand
# Combien de temps je te voudrai?
# Le temps que tu veuilles A t'en compter
# Et plus longtemps encore
# Combien de temps je tiendrai... #
Did he?
# Autant de temps ton pere jurait
# Et plus longtemps encore
# How long will I love you?
# As long as stars are above you
# Longer, if I may. #
Oh! CHEERING
What is your name? Jeremy.
Where are you from? I'm from France. I'm from Lyon.
ANNE-MARIE: I knew it!
You're from France? I'm from France, yeah.
He was singing in French!
Je m'appelle Olivier. Bonjour.
Oh, wow!
I live in Scotland, though, so that's good.
Wow. C'est bon.
LAUGHTER
You have a four-turner. Check this out. Four turns, one block.
Who blocked me? I don't know.
How do you say "block" in French?
Uh, "bloquer". Bloquer.
Moi, bloquer. Ah, dommage.
Au revoir. Me go. Au revoir.
ANNE-MARIE: See ya.
You've probably heard this before.
You have a really, really beautiful tone.
JEREMY: Thank you.
The way you sing is like you're playing an instrument. Thank you.
What do you do for a job? I'm a French and German teacher.
Right, OK. Brilliant.
I'm so grateful to be here, and thank you so much for turning.
I didn't expect that.
Your voice was so beautiful.
Every part of it was just perfect.
I heard the French.
I just love hearing music in different languages.
It takes you to another level.
I just think you're incredible.
So I'm glad you're here.
JEREMY: Thank you so much. Thank you. Very kind.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Magnifique.
It was a magical performance.
This show's about the voice, you've got the voice.
It was just fantastic, honestly. I'm devastated I've been blocked.
Me too. I follow you on lnstagram, uh...
Oh! I think you're really funny.
Thank you. I thought you, but... Sorry, Olly. Desole.
Just discard me. I'm out of the way.
It's difficult to choose between you three.
It's so hard, because you're all amazing.
Yep, yep. Um...
I love you all guys, but I'll go for will.i.am.
What?! ANNE-MARl E: Whoa!
Merci, merci.
Danke schon, danke schon.
Merci.
Gracias!
I love you. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Man, that guy was really, really good.
Wow! You seemed surprised when he picked you.
I thought he was gonna pick Tom first.
Secondly, I thought he was gonna go with Anne-Marie. Who did the block?
He did it first to you.
Will did it! Oh, and Tom did it second.
Exactly.
So he'd already done it? Yeah.
Oh, Will!
That's good. He was great.
In 20 years, I still won't believe it.
It's crazy.
Tom, who are the singers that you looked up to, growing up?
What about you? Who are your influences?
I like the folks that can just make whatever's in their head
come to life.
So, like, the Princes, I love Stevie...
Me too. Oh!
Have you worked with Stevie Wonder, Tom?
He was?
Can we pull something up on the screen real quick?
HARMONICA PLAYS
No way. Check it out.
CHEERING
This is crazy. Stevie Wonder's on The Voice.
Gotta get this right, because it's for Sir Tom Jones.
I feel so very happy to congratulate you
as you celebrate 8O years on this planet.
Here we go.
# Dum, da-dum Dum, da-dum
# It's not unusual To be loved by anyone... #
WQW!
# It's not unusual To have fun with anyone... #
Wow. STEVIE PLAYS HARMONICA
I had the pleasure of not just meeting that person
who sang that song, but meeting a new friend.
And I know that that friendship will last for a lifetime.
So many wonderful moments we've shared.
I still remember when we did your show,
and I was telling you the words to Uptight.
You were telling me the words to It's Not Unusual.
I played drums, and it was just a wonderful thing.
I love you with my whole heart,
and I want you to promise me
that you will do your best to give us another 8O years.
Sir Tom Jones, God bless you.
CHEERING
Wow.
Tom.
That's incredible. How do you feel after seeing that?
That would be the best.
Absolutely beautiful.
How are you finding being on the show so far?
I love it. It blows my mind, how many talented people are out there.
Yeah. So it's really hard.
Tom, do you always have a specific voice
that you're just like, "Yeah"?
I'm Hannah Williams, I'm 38,
and I'm a singer and vocal coach from Winchester.
I'm a mum of one, and a wife of one.
Whay!
My little boy, Leo, is seven.
BOTH: # Time flies by In the yellow and green... #
Leo knows I'm auditioning for The Voice.
Are you excited about me being on the telly? Yes!
I asked Leo, "Do you want to hear Mummy's song?"
He just went, "No. But I'm sure it's really good."
Singing's always been one of the biggest focuses in my life.
I released Late Nights & Heartbreak in 2016,
and then I was on a coach on the way to a choir festival,
and my phone rang, and it was jay-Z.
What is going on?
He was like, "l love your voice, and I'd really love to sample it."
So, obviously, my answer was, "What the heck?"
Life-changing moment that I will never forget,
but the jay-Z thing kind of petered out,
so at that point, I kind of felt like, that's me done.
That was my career.
If I can do this, and get to share it with Leo,
that would literally be the perfect situation.
I've spent my whole life singing,
and trying to get to a moment where there's recognition.
This is a massive moment for me.
It would just take one button press to change my life.
SONG: 'Stay With Me'
Love this song.
# Where did you go... #
# When things went wrong, baby... #
# Who did you turn to
# To find a shoulder To lay your head upon... #
It's you, Tom. # My love
# Wasn't I there?
# Didn't I take good care of you?
# Oh, no I can't believe you're leaving me
# Oh, stay with me, baby
# Stay with me, baby
# Remember... # Oh, come on!
# You said You're always gonna need me
# Remember
# You said You're never, ever gonna leave me
# Remember, remember
# I'm asking you, begging you
# Please stay! #
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
She came out singing barefooted and brought the whole roof down.
What's your name? Hannah Williams.
What do you do for a living? I'm a singer and vocal coach.
Wow, I mean...
OK, you're a singer and a vocal coach.
Yeah. What are you missing?
Cos, to me, you're not missing anything.
How can you coach a coach?
I guess... I've been doing this for a really long time, um...
And I've been sampled by jay-Z.
Really? Yeah, man. 4:44.
What the what?!
So I've had all these kind of crazy, amazing moments,
and I just feel like... I wanna do even more.
WILL PLAYS SONG ON PHONE Oh, no way!
That's you!
THROUGH PHONE: '# And I know in my heart... #'
Wow. I love this song.
'# That I want to... #' Wow.
SONG CONTINUES
CHEERING
That is amazing. It's an honour to meet you.
You're fantabulous. That's crazy.
Thank you.
I hope you know how good you are, because you are... so...
You hear voices, and you just know who would be good for them.
I just knew that she was for...
you. Or you. LAUGHS
But I just hope you don't have any doubts, ever,
and just know that you are amazing.
Thank you so much, Sir Tom.
Sir Tom!
I mean, that was spectacular. What a performance that was.
The emotion you brought across to that song, your control,
your range...
Like, that was just amazing. Thank you.
I mean, how can I battle against Tom on this pitch?
All I would say is, everyone would predict that you would pick Tom.
Sometimes it's nice to be unpredictable
and pick the guy that you weren't supposed to pick.
You are a big singer that needed to be in this competition,
and I'm so glad that we both turned, and now it's really about
who you want to go with in the next stage of this competition.
I hope it's me, but it's up to you. Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It genuinely is a difficult call,
because I see so much in both of you, you know.
Yeah, it's a really tough decision.
I'm sorry, Olly. Thank you, Sir Tom.
SHE LAUGHS
Hello, little man!
Yeah.
I cannot believe I'm about to work with Sir Tom Jones.
This is gonna take a couple of clays to sink in, I think.
Imagine her in the Battles.
Who's gonna wanna go up against her? Seriously.
ALL: Team Tom!
Yo, you already got two?
You better slow down. Whoa!
She's great. I like her a lot.
