You're like... "Yo, yo, you ain't supposed to be doing that!"
TOM: Olly is a born showman.
ANNE-MARIE: The Essex cheeky chap pie.
Welcome to the show, darling.
What I love about Anne-Marie is everything.
Jeez!
I love her energy she brings to the room.

Because I genuinely do love to hear new voices.
I'm looking for characters this year.

It's time to start turning.

SONG: 'Higher Love'
# Think about it
# There must be higher love
# Down in the heart Or hidden in the stars above
# Without it
# Life is wasted time
# Look inside your heart Ancl I'll look inside mine
# Things look so bad
# Everywhere
# In this whole world
# What is fair? #
Whoo!
# We walk the line and try to see
# Falling behind
# In what we could be, yeah, yeah
ALL: # Bring me a higher love
# Bring me a higher love
#Oh
# Bring me a higher love... #
One love.
# Where's that higher love
# I keep thinking of?
# Worlds are turning... # Come on.
# And we're hanging on... #
Whoo!
# Facing our fears And standing out there alone
# A yearning, yeah It's real to me
# There must be someone Who's feeling for me
ALL: # Things look so bad everywhere
# In this whole world What is fair? #
I don't know.
# We walk the line and try to see
# Falling behind Of what could be, oh
# Life is a blessing Knowledge is a weapon
# You should choose love Instead of being reckless
# Candle in the darkness Help change the heartless
# Here's love to guide you I'll be there regardless
# Start with the kindness Together, we're united
# Cos we are one Nothing can divide us
# Strive for the highest And rise up above
# Meditate and activate The power of love
ALL: # Bring me a higher love... #
Clap your hands, come on! when!
# Bring me a higher love
#Oh

# This is The Voice! #
# Yeah, OK
# I like to do things The way I do things... #
I'm Anthonia Edwards, I'm 25,
I'm a student nurse from Blackheath.
# I can tell that something's Got you feelin' loose now... #
Sometimes, you can actually see a vein.
Growing up, I knew that I wanted to help people,
and nursing just felt natural.
# Wanna move, wanna groove Wanna make that thing pop! #
We get to practise on dummy patients.
But I don't generally sing to patients.
Cos dummies are scary.
# Things are about to get wild... #
SHE LAUGHS Sorry!
I love the profession that I'm in.
It's an incredible part of my life.
But I also love singing just as much. Maybe even a bit more.
# Yeah, I like it like that. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Yeah! You guys excited?
I'm so excited for you, Anthonia.
I know! I can't believe it's finally here.
We've only got ten places on our team.
So we need your help today.
There's plenty of room for everybody.
Can't wait to see some singers. Yeah. Come on.
Hello! Hi!
Anthonia? Yes.
Who's with you today? So, this is my little sister, Eve.
Hi! Ancl my mum. How are you feeling?
Excited.
I haven't slept, though, so maybe it's adrenaline.
I can't believe we're about to do it. Ooh!
CHEERING
Gonna be freakin' fantastic.com.
Backslash let's go.
# Told them your dreams And they all started laughing... #
Today is one of the biggest steps I've taken
in regards to my singing.
But if you want something, you have to go after it.
And, yeah, this is me going after it.
That was so cheesy! SHE LAUGHS
# They told me I was out there Tried to knock me down... #
I love nursing, but music is my first love.
I'm gonna go out and make my family proud,
and hopefully be an example to my little sister as well.
Come on, you can do this.

LAUGHTER
Thank you so much for coming on the show and bringing soul to the show.
APPLAUSE

You sure about that? Yeah.
All right. VAR, VAR.
Can we get a replay on Anne-Marie and Olly's hand?
Slow-mo.
IMITATES SLOW-MO SPEECH
It was me. LAUGHTER
The range that you hit was unbelievable.
I was like, there's nothing to say here, so I had to press the button.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I was the last person to turn,
but that's because I was enjoying every moment.
I didn't wanna turn...
Yeah, yeah ('-3
Back me up, team! CHEERING
I was mesmerised. Vocally fantastic.
There was that emotion there, which I love.
And you got a four-chair turn!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I think we should start pitching, right? Yeah.
I think Tom should go first cos he was first. TOM: OK.
You, to me, sound like a natural singer,
which is the first thing that I listen to.
Ancl you fill that bill perfectly.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.
I'm gonna start my pitch by asking a question.
What brought you on the show?
I've just finished my nursing degree,
and I really wanted to...
CHEERING
Thanks!
Ancl before diving right into it, I just wanted to, like,
explore what sharing my voice with the world would be.
APPLAUSE
Nursing is amazing.
Thank you so much for aiming yourself to help folks.
2020 told us how important that career path is.
And music is therapeutic as well.
So...
singing nurses are really powerful.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
Coming on my team will be super open.
I would never try to tell you how to be.
Just encourage you to be the best you can be.
Team Will.
APPLAUSE
I'd love to work with you.
You seem like such a lovely human being,
and that just makes me wanna be a part of your journey
because kind people make the world go round.
So I'd love you to be on my team.
Thank you. APPLAUSE
I think we're all great coaches,
and I think we're all gonna bring something different to the table.
And it's so nice to hear you say you came on the show
because you want the world to hear your voice.
And I would just love to push that even more. So come join mine!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are you confused on who to pick?
Yeah.
AUDIENCE SHOUT NAMES
Vibes. Green.
Does your mom and your sister -
you think they could help you make your decision?
I think so, yeah. Yay!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What do you think?
AUDIENCE SHOUT NAMES
Hang on!
# I've already seen the bottom So there's nothing to fear

# Watermelon sugar
# Strawberries On a summer evening... #
I'm selling block buttons.
I'll have Tom's. How much? How much? Fiver?
300? What?! Jesus!
300?! Oh; have tyvo (|)
But no, we actually have got the block buttons back again,
so that's gonna be fun. Which means...
if I like a contestant
and I don't want any of these coaches to have one of them,
I've only got one pick.
How come my three buttons have got Olly on all three?
LAUGHTER
What you looking for, then, Tom?
I'd like to get a male soul singer, if possible.
But you never know. I mean, if something comes along that I like,
I'm gonna hit the button. I'm excited.
# Watermelon sugar. #
My name's Charlotte Riby. I'm 35 years old,
and I live in Bedfordshire with my husband, Ivan.
We've got two beautiful little boys, Joey and Jacob.
Hello! Hello!
They're both crazy, full-on, gorgeous little boys.
Joey". Joey and Jacob.
No, you're Jacob, I'm Joey.
Mummy sings in the car all the time.
I'm not too sure if the children enjoy it,
unless it's something that they've requested in the car.
My mummy's a really good singer
because she does really good singing.
How long have you been doing it for? I've been singing all my life.
Loads of musical theatre. Yeah.
I also do... Musical theatre as a child as well?
Oh, yeah. Like, did the first show when I was six.
What?! Yeah. What did you do?
Giving it Gretl in The Sound Of Music.
Oh! With no teeth.
I love doing musicaltheatre. I love it.
But I would like to be known for me.
I suppose it's one of those things that's the unknown, isn't it?
You're used to being on stage,
but those four chairs with their backs to you is slightly different.
# She's imperfect... #
The song I've chosen to sing today
I've been rehearsing in the kitchen for the children,
and the eldest has always got something to say.
"Mummy, on the low bit, you should do this.
"And on the high bit, you should be doing this."
You know, joey, I'll try to do what you told me.
BOTH: Good luck, Mummy!
I'm a little nervous.
I've been very lucky to perform my entire life,
but today is completely different.
Today could be something brand-new and exciting for me.
So I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna give it my all.
Hopefully, someone will turn.
It would be incredible. It would be a dream come true.
SONG: 'Somebody Else's Guy'
# I can't get off my high horse... #
APPLAUSE
# No, I can't let you go
# You are the one

SHE HOLDS NOTE
CHEERING
# Oh, yeah
# Somebody else's guy
# That clay in September
# I'm sure you can remember
# That's when all this stuff Hit the fan
# You told me a lie
# But you didn't have an alibi
# Now, baby, I still cared
# Oh, I loved you so, baby

# Oh, what am I supposed to do
# When I'm hooked so on you?

SHE HOLDS NOTE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What?!
APPLAUSE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Ooh
# I don't want this to break you
# Ooh... #
That was close. Close.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm so sorry. It's OK. It's fine.
OLLY: Aw!
I was so close. Ah.
I really enjoyed it.
I performed it, and just did it to the best of my ability, so...
just not the clay. Not the clay.
I should have gone.
TOM: I think she was experienced.
She knew what she was doing, I know that.
But it sounded like she'd been around for a while.
I thought you'd have gone, Olly. I thought you'd have gone for that.
I didn't wanna just press the button because I loved the song.
You were amazing. You sounded incredible.
You did sound amazing.
Maybe it was song choice.
Maybe it just wasn't what they were looking for.
I'll just go back to working.
Back to the grind.
# It's out of our hands
# Maybe it will work out In the end. #
Well, it never gets any easier, does it?
When to press your button, when not to.
Oh, we should have... Somebody should have turned for her.
But this is so hard cos we have ten places.
Yeah. It's just so hard.
Shame.
Ah, nearly here. I'm excited. I just wanna do it now.
I'm Lucas Miles.
I'm 19, and I live on a family-owned dairy farm in Cheshire.
# Well, life on the farm ls kinda laid back... #
So lots of milk and lots of cheese.
# Thank God I'm a country boy
# Well, I got me a fine wife I got me an ol' fiddle... #
Get up at six o'clock in the morning,
spend about two or three hours milking the cows.
Really enjoy it, to be honest. I like people,
but much easier to work with animals, I find.
You never have a cow complaining while I'm scraping...
Mm
HE LAUGHS
I first realised Lucas could sing when, as a toddler,
he was always in the middle of a herd of cows
in the field, humming away. SHE LAUGHS
When I'm singing, it feels like
the world stops around me and nothing else matters.
Just something that I feel so at home doing,
more so than anything else.
I haven't really got words to say how proud I am of Lucas.
He's so amazing.
How has he come from our farm?
It's a really nice feeling, having my parents here today.
Really proud of you. Thank you.
This audition means everything to me
because a guy like me, from a very small village,
doesn't always get these opportunities.
I've been practising this song clay in and clay out.
I'm sure even the cows know the words to the song by now.
On you go, good luck.
Singing's always felt like something I just have to do.
# I need you now But I don't know you yet... #
I'm somebody who feels a lot. I'm a very emotional person.
I'm gonna let it all come out in this song.
# I need you now But I don't know you yet. #
SONG: 'I Guess I'm In Love'
# I'm obsessed... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# With the way your head ls la yin' on my chest
# How you love the things I hate about myself
# That no-one knows
# But with you I see hope again... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Why do I get so nervous
# When I look into your eyes?
# Butterflies can't stop me Fallin' for you... #
CHEERING
# Ancl darlin', this is more Than anything I felt before
# You're everything that I want
# Now I've found the one
# Come close
# Let me be
# Home for anything
# Good or bad
# I know it's worth it
# Oh, whoa
# Ancl darlin', this is more Than anything I felt before
# You're everything that I want
# But I didn't think I'd find
# Someone who is worth the wait
# Of all the years of my heartbreak
# But now I know
# I've found the one I love. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What's your name, where you from?
I'm Lucas, I'm 19, and I live on a dairy farm in Cheshire.
Dairy farm?
Dairy farms! You live on a dairy farm?
Yeah. I've actually just moved to London to pursue music,
but my whole life, I've been brought up on a dairy farm.
What's the difference between, like, living on a dairy farm
and being thrown into London like that?
LAUGHTER
Er, yeah, I mean, there's a lot less cows and a lot more people!
LAUGHTER
As soon as I heard your tone at the start,
it just reminded me of the winner last year, Craig.
I saw that Anne-Marie had pressed her button, and I thought,
"Well, she's a great coach, she won the show with Craig last year."
So she's probably gonna win with you now,
and I'm gonna regret saying what I've just said.
I couldn't get it out of my head.
That was the reason I couldn't press the button. Well done.
Thank you. Well done. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
TOM: I really like it. I really like the way you sing.
And I'm glad that you're on the show,
and you have a wonderful coach with Anne-Marie, so...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WILL: She's, like, right next to me.
And so I knew she didn't want me to hit the button.
He was gonna, though. And so she was like, "Don't you dare!"
And I was like, "You know what?
"There's gonna be other singers, down the road,
"where I'm probably gonna have to go against Anne-Marie.
"Let me pick my battles strategically."
But I really wanted to hit my button, because you have that rasp -
great freakin' voice, great tone, great instrument.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I actually love that your speaking voice is really similar
to your singing voice. Ancl you're not putting it on.
I loved it. There wasn't a point where I just didn't like it.
Yeah, I'm excited. So am I. Thank you.
So welcome to my team!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Time stops to still
# When you are in my arms It always will... #
Well done! So proud of you!
Imagine him singing Cold play. SHE EXCLAIMS
Yeah. So, the first person on my team now.
Yes.
CHEERING
Do that again. LAUGHTER
I do it when I'm excited.
CH EERING AND LAUGHTER
Yay!
Right, your turn, Torn. Yeah, right!
LAUGHTER
# Where do we go from here? #
WILL: Let's make some noise for the reigning champion,
An ne-Marie, last year. Yes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
LAUGHTER
Hey, Anne-Marie, last year, you surprised us all.
What did you learn that you're gonna bring this season,
now we have a live audience? Hmm...
You have to basically blow your own trumpet.
Which I'm not used to doing.
So it's quite difficult for me to be like,
"Come on my team, I'm the best."
But...
I'm gonna do that this year cos I won.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE So you can.
Sol can.
My name's David, I'm 20, I'm from London
and I'm a full-time student, studying philosophy.
I absolutely love it.
# Cos we got a bigger love... #
Being a student, I think, is the best thing ever, really.
I love, you know, going out for a meal.
I love eating. Oh, I love eating! HE LAUGHS
# We got a one-way ticket love... #
It's just me and my mum that live together by the Thames.
It's really fun.
David, go out there... OK.
...and make me more proud mum.
100%! Buy me beautiful house!
Yeah! Ancl beautiful car. Beautiful car.
# We got a bigger love... #
I started singing probably around four.
I was just watching my auntie sing in church,
and I was like, "Oh, my clays, she sounds really good."
So I was just like, "OK, let me try and copy that at home."
So, how are you feeling? Feeling good, man.
Prior to today, my biggest responsibility was probably
just waking up for my 9am lecture,
and just getting to uni on time.
But now, I'm at The Voice! HE LAUGHS
On a scale of one to ten, I'd probably say I'm...
nine on nerves!
You know you've got it.
And you sing. Ancl you can sing.
You've got a good personality, so, like...
OK, thank you, thank you. OK! OK.
# Well, nothing's gonna hurt me With my eyes shut... #
And here's a double whammy of awesome prizes.
When I sing...
I feel like I'm the only person in the room, really.
My heart is pounding.
But I'm ready to get on that stage.
This audition could change my life.
Hopefully, I can give a performance
that, through my voice,
they can hear the emotion, they can hear the dedication,
they can hear what I want them to feel.
# No, nothing's gonna hurt me With my eyes shut
# I can see through them
. #
SONG: 'In The Silence'
# I've been seeking silver lining
# Feeling incomplete
# Singing, "Oh, oh, I
# "I wish it didn't Taste so bittersweet"
HE VOCAUSES
# So enamoured Stuttered, stammered
# Oh, my voice was broke
# Like a poor man Stood before the queen
# I tripped over my tongue Before I spoke
# Ancl though I never said it With words, yeah
# There was love in the silence
# Even now After all of these years, oh
# You're the light in my darkness
# Darling, please Listen close, and you'll hear
# There was love in the quiet
# Even now After all of these years, oh
# I feel love in the quiet
# Ooh... #
No, press it, press it! Press the button!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yay!
# I'm out of my mind
# Thinkin' I was born In the wrong time, one of a kind
# Livin' in a world gone plastic Baby, you're so classic
# Yeah, yeah... #
Have you noticed that Olly has blocked Tom?
Oh, really?!
# Baby, you Baby, you're so classic... #
WILL: Woo-hoo-hoo! Hey!
What's your name? Hey, my name's David. From London.
Yes, David from London! DAVID LAUGHS
Ayo, David. Who you came here with?

you got really excited, you were like, "Yeah!"
Yeah. Sorry, Torn. Oh, my gosh. Sorry? You're not sorry.
No, he's not sorry! LAUGHTER
I am cos I love you, but this was too good.

How old are you? 20 at the moment. 20?
Yeah, I'm 20, yeah. 20? Wow. What a voice at 20.
Well, I've got nothing to say because I've been blocked.
Oh, Tom! Aw, I'm so sorry, Tom.
I'm flattered. No, you're great. You sound great.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I wanted someone to come on the show
and bring happiness and laughter and fun,
and that is exactly what you're bringing just now.
Aw, thank you so much.
I'm so, so happy that I did the Block
because I now have an incredible singer on my team.
You are awesome! Fantastic!
Welcome to Team Olly! Team Olly! Come on!
# Baby, baby, baby You got me talking crazy
# I figure if I say it You just might be my lady
# Baby, it's you... #
HE SHRIEKS THEY CLAP AND CHEER
# Baby, it's you... #
I know, I know, I know!
And that's what I was looking for.
And I thought I had him in the palm of my hand,
and this gentleman from Essex...
LAUGHTER
It wasn't my intention to block you, Torn. It really wasn't.
HE GROANS Have a listen.
I knew that that type of singer was someone...
Of course.
It was pretty brilliant. Ah, thank you, man.
Thank you. I'm overwhelmed. Really good. I'm so happy for you.
I can't stop... I wanna stop smiling.
You've still got a Block. I've got no Blocks left now, I'm done.

Because of my age!
I'm the oldest person in the British Isles
to have a number one album.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: 'Magic Moments' by Perry Como
Yeah, all right? Perfect.
# Magic moments... #
My name is Tom. Ancl I'm Emily.
Ancl together, we're... Tom and Emily.
# Magic... #
We're a couple from South Wales.
# Memories... #
We met in university
when we were both studying postgrad music,
but we never really spoke much.
Basically, he spoke to every singer except me.
MUSIC WINDS DOWN
Well, I would've probably spoken to you... now.
Thanks (!)
There was a photo of him on Facebook in a Welsh rugby top
with this huge Welsh Dragon flag,
so I put three love hearts under the photo.
Completely innocently!
I wasn't trying to instigate anything.
Supposedly. Supposedly.
Ancl then I then messaged whether we should maybe sing a song,
as, like, a virtual song.
Ancl then we never stopped talking since.
I fell for Tom's voice,
and I just knew he was the one, really.
WHISPERS: I love you. I love you.
It'll be... just be wonderful. It really will be.
I'm so proud of you both.
Your mum's always like...
WHISPERS: "Just go out there and smash it."
Isn't she? Yeah, Mum's quite a... just keen supporter, really.
Thomas and Emily share such a passion for music.
I always said to Thomas,
I'd given him some wings, so he's just gotta go.
Same with Emily.
# How do we rewrite the stars?... #
The only thing we've ever clone together singing-wise
has been online.
# Nothing can keep us apart... #
Today is colossal compared to our little home singing videos.
# It's up to you And it's up to me... #
It means everything to sing with your partner on a stage like this.
# And why don't we Rewrite the stars?
# Changing the world to be ours... #
This is huge for us. It's a "pinch me" moment.
No, absolutely. Very exciting.
I'm just hoping for one of those chairs to turn.
# You know I want you
# It's not a secret I try to hide. #

# Sopa di noi, se sei con me
# Maybe your heart Would still be mine... #
Wow.
Bless them!
Four turns!
Thank you so much. What are your names?
So, I'm Emily, and this is Thomas, and we're Thomas and Emily.
LAUGHTER, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on a minute!
Oh! Oh!
Olly got blocked!
LAUGHTER
I got you back for blocking me.
Oh... my Lord!
You guys did an amazing job.
Like... Thank you. ..spot-on, brilliant.
Everything was in key.
Every harmony was perfect.
Song was magical.
Damn, that was awesome.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
And where are you guys from?
So, we are both Welsh. TOM: Oh!
CHEERING
OK, we have some pitching problems. OK, it's OK.
Nothing to worry, nothing to worry. What part of Wales are you from?
So, I am from near Pontypool. Pontypool, all right.
I mean, I am technically... from Colchester.
LAUGHTER Essex!
Essex, exactly! Oh, I'm blocked.
It doesn't matter. LAUGHTER
But I've got Welsh blood, is what I like to say. I see.
How long have you been singing together?
I started posting lots of covers online. Yep.
He actually reached out to me
and said, "Would you like to do some virtual duets?"
Ancl then we fell in love.
Wow, that's...!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Aww, love story!
See that? Music. You see, music does that.
Exactly. I think that was so beautiful.
That's one of my favourite songs in Les Mis.
It brings me to tears every time that I hear him sing it.
Like, when I was doing musicals,
it was like the best singers there could be.
Ancl then when I heard your voices,
it just felt like back then when it was just so beautiful,
and I could not not turn round.
Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
APPLAUSE
Normally, I don't go for that.
I think this is the first time I've ever pressed my button
for any sort of classical style of singing.
But you sound so good,
I think you two could sing any great duets together,
so there is plenty of room for singers like you,
you know, to be on my team.
But you're so good, and that's why I pressed.
APPLAUSE Thank you, Tom.
And, of course, you're Welsh! So what can I say?
OLLY: You deserve that standing ovation from everyone.
I know, that meant everything. Thank you so much.
APPLAUSE
Do you...? AUDIENCE SHOUT, SHE GIGGLES
AUDIENCE SHOUTING IN ENCOURAGEMENT
I love Tom!
They're gonna go Will. They'll go Will.
Honestly, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for turning.
Aww! But...
I think particularly for the King of Wales,
and, erm... CHEERING
...and to be the first classical people on your team,
we would love to go with Team Tom. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WILL: I told you it was gonna be hard to pitch against Wales!
ANNE-MARE". We“ done.
Lovely. Beautiful.
Thank you so much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES
Oh!
They sound so lovely... together. I know.
That was so good.
They complemented one another. There was nothing that was jarring at all.
Ancl they're in love! And they're in love!
Congratulations. Thank you.
We'll see you at the next round. Absolutely.
Well done, like that. Can you see?
Have you got that right there? Look at the fingers.
That is probably, like, my favourite classical singers I've heard.
Yeah, they were awesome.
I can't wait to see what songs you give 'em.
Yeah, when I... put my thinking cap on there.
To have such a legend like him just...
just to say that we're working with him...
Yeah, exactly. ..just sounds quite surreal.
He is, like, some sort of demigod/king, so it's amazing.
It couldn't have meant more, really, could it?
No. Not in the slightest.
Just, yeah. Absolute perfection.
If you was auditioning for the show, what song would you pick?
I don't know, it's a hard one.
I'd either do like a Norah Jones, or I'd do an Al an is Morissette.
Nice. Ooh. Yeah.
I think I would do a power ballad.
Ooh.
WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: Come on, Tom! Give us a song!
What... Sing a song, Tom!
Oh... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
TOM CHUCKLES
Well, I could...
I could do something from the album if you want?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Come on, then.
Woo-hoe'. One, one, one, one, one.
MAN IN AUDIENCE: We love you, Tom!
David, what about... if I did Crumble?
Could you do I Won't Crumble With You?
Yeah. Yeah, no problem.
Now, this is a very important song,
so I try to pick songs that mean a lot to me.
And this song is trying to tell you
people that you love, you know,
sometimes, they need to be backed up,
and you need to sort of give them strength and encouragement,
so that's what this song means.
You know, I'll do anything for you,
but I won't crumble with you if you fall.
You know, it's... Hmm.
It's a serious song, but I'll do it if you'd like me to do it, I will.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We would love it, Tom.
Let me see if I can hear this.
SONG: 'I Won't Crumble With You If You Fall'
# I will wake
# In the morning
# If you call
# I'll stand beside you
# As long as I can
# I will hold back
# The evening
# Of your sun
# But I won't crumble
# With you
# If you fall
# Come walk with me
# And hold to my hand
# Touch me
# Let me know I am here by myself
# Stretch my night dreams
# Into
# My days
# Stop short of falling
# Apart
# If I go down
# I will wake
# In the morning
# If you call
# I'll stand beside you
# As long as I can
# I will hold back
# The evening
# Of your sun
# But I won't crumble
# With you
# If you fall. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES
Wow.
Thank you, David.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES
I think that was one of the best moments of my life.
Aw, Thank you.
That was so special. Thank you.
What a special song.
Yeah, well, my wife, you know, she was dying of lung cancer.
So I said, you know...
I was always able to fix stuff, you know, I was always...
I was always able to...
You know, to do things if she needed me for anything, I was always there,
but, er... she said you can't crumble with me.
Don't fall with me now. You've done everything you can.
You must carry on, you know, and do what you do.
So, that's what the song...
When I heard it, I thought, "My God. This...
"This thing is like it was written for this..."
Yeah. "..situation."
Yeah, it's a lovely song.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Tom.
Yeah. Oh.
Yeah.
# This is The Voice! #
# Olly, Olly, Olly... #
AUDIENCE AND ANNE-MARIE: # Oi, oi, oi! #
OLD! CHUCKLES
How many have you got? I've got one.
Anne-Marie? I've got one. And he's got none.
Are you sitting on two? I've got two, yeah.
At the end of the day, we've got ten places to fill,
and the calibre so far is really good, isn't it?
Yeah. Whoo!
If you had to sing a song on The Voice, what would you sing?
Runaway Baby. LAUGHTER
HE GRUNTS
I'm Sandy Grigelis, I'm 27 years old,
I'm a musician and performer, and I'm from Oxfords hire.
LAUGHTER
I live with my girlfriend Sarah and my son Leo.
Leo, he's just incredible. I love him to bits.
I was young when I had Leo, but you just kind of learn,
and I wanna be the best dad possible.
I want him to have every opportunity that he possibly wants, you know,
and I wanna be able to give that to him.
He's kind to me,
and he gives me presents.
He sings a lot of songs.
Good luck, Daddy.
Love you, buddy.
I'm so proud of you, Daddy. Aww! Isn't that lovely?
I have been singing all of my life. I basically had no choice.
My mum was a performer, my dad was a musician,
so I just heard it all the time around the house.
I wasn't going to be a doctor or anything like that,
and I obviously didn't have the brainpower.
Oh, no! LAUGHTER
Singing is absolutely everything to me.
So I really hope that this is my big break.
The Voice is something which I've always wanted to be on,
but now Leo is at the perfect age when he can be with me here today,
and I can just go on that stage and make him proud.
I've got a good feeling about this one.
SHE GASPS Oh, we're stand by!
Oh, my goodness! Daddy's gonna come out now.
# I see the beauty That you can't see... #
Having Leo here today means the absolute world to me.
I'm gonna do absolutely everything I can to get a chair turn.
# Baby, I'll be out there Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere. #
SONG: 'good 4 u'
# Well, good for you I guess you moved on really easily
# You found a new girl And it only took a couple weeks
# Remember when you said that You wanted to give me the world?
# Well, good for you, I guess You're getting everything you want
# I guess that therapist I found for you
# She really helped
# Now you can be a better man For your brand-new girl
# Oh, whoa! #
CHEERING # Well, good for you
# You look happy and healthy
# Not me, if you ever cared to ask
# You're so unaffected I really don't get it
# I guess good for you
# Yeah!
# Well, good for you, I guess You're getting everything you want
# I guess that therapist I saw with you was real enough
# It's like we never even happened
# Tell me, what is up with that?
# Maybe I'm too emotional
# Your apathy is like A wound in salt
# Maybe I'm too emotional
# Or maybe you never cared at all
# Well, good for you You look happy and healthy
# Not me, if you ever cared to ask
# Well, good for you
# You're doing great out there Without me
# Baby, like a damn sociopath
# I lost my mind
# I spent the night crying On the floor of my bathroom
# You're so unaffected I really don't get it
# I guess good for yo-o-o-ou
# Good for you, I guess you moved on Really easily. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Big whoop! Whoo!
Say well clone, Daddy! Well clone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES
# But after all that I've been through
# As long as I'm with you
# Nobody can hurt me now. #
That was a mistake.
We let a good one go.
Yeah.
I'm a bit gutted, obviously. They're like...
I enjoyed it, and the crowd were awesome.
Everyone was clapping along.
It's always hard to see people leave. Definitely.
It's hard because I can see families in that door.
Oh, my God. Really? Oh.
So, that-that hurts.
I was halfway there to pushing my button. Yeah.
SH E EXHALES
PRODUCER: Next one, standby. Next one incoming.
I'm not next, am I? No.
Oh, God. It's OK. Carry on.
# Y'all ready for the best You've ever seen? #
Hi, guys. Hi.
I can't lie, my legs are aching. I just walked upstairs.
About four flights of stairs,
and then it only told me I was at level two. I was like,
"Well, what are the levels in between?"
# Bow down And keep on praising me... #
My name is Cleo Clayton.
I'm 23, I'm a health care assistant from Hertfordshire.
I enjoy mYJI°b-
It can be very emotional,
but when you see the good that you're doing,
it then makes everything worth it.
She touches our hearts.
Cleo touches our hearts in everything she does.
She's just a wonderful person.
The earliest memory of music for me
would be listening to Barney's theme tune.
Singing it, all the actions, you know?
And I thought, "This is where I'm going in life.
"This is what I'm made to do."
Cleo's wanted this for a hell of a long time, hasn't she?
A long time, yeah. If she got this, it would be a dream come true.
I normally rehearse in my bedroom,
and then, my stage, my arena
tends to be the kitchen, occasionally the living room.
Who would you like to turn for you?
Probably mostly... Anne-Marie or will.i.am.
They're your sort of vibe, aren't they?
Yeah, massively, massively my vibe.
I think they'd be crazy if they didn't turn for Cleo.
Ancl I'd be sorting them out as well if they don't!
I'm used to performing in my home,
so to be doing this is huge.
Absolutely bricking it.
Everything's sweaty. Everything's, like, vibrating.
Like, I feel like someone's shaking me.
Watching Cleo today... I'm very proud.
SHE CHUCKLES
SONG: 'On My Mind'
# I don't want you on my mind... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Why on earth would I leave
# If you were everything I wanted you to be?
# When I saw what you did Who you were with... #
EMMA: Oh, she's good!
# So I ask myself, do I let you go?
# Or do I keep you In the frame of my mind?
# Now I'm growing wise To your sugar-coated lies
# Nothing's sweet about my misery
# I finally found... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Ah, yeah
# I finally found the wrong in you
# Don't want to feel you
# Don't want you on my mind
# You again, why'd you call?
# No, I don't need to hear you... # Press your button!
# Unlike before
# When you and I laid eye to eye
# Now it's time for you To taste the bitter end
# I finally found
# What went wrong
# |-|-|
# I finally found
# The wrong in you
# |-|-|
# Don't want to feel you... #
Come on!
# ..on my mind. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC: 'HIGHER' by Bishop Briggs
# I'm who I wanna be Higher, higher
# Higher, higher... # Whoo!
# Higher, higher... #
What's your name? I'm Cleo. Like the car.
What's up, Cleo? Skr-r-r-r!
And where are you from, Cleo? Hertfordshire.
APPLAUSE
Who'd you come here with? With my partner and my mum and dad.
Ah, so what's up? I'm Mum!
You have this, like, awesome sweet tone.
ANNE-MARIE SINGS TWO NOTES
Yeah. Me and Anne-Marie were like, "Yo!"
Your voice is on the radio vibes.
Yeah. Your look is like, "Oh, shucks.
"I wanna go see her in concert" vibes.
You got "take it all the way" vibes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What do you do for a job? I'm a health care assistant.
Wow. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Music is just another way of taking care of people.
Boom! That's what I said, girl! Come on!
As soon as you started singing,
I looked straight over to Anne-Marie and Will.
I was like, this is their style of singer.
I think this is a match made in heaven. Thank you so much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I loved it. I thought you were gonna turn.
I thought I was gonna turn as well. I was looking at you thinking...
I was like this. LAUGHTER
Cos, if I'm being really honest,
I think that your vibrato was just jarring me a little bit.
But, like, I know that can be worked on, so... Yeah.
Silly I didn't turn around, really. But you are so good.
APPLAUSE
I thought that was spectacular,
I'm so happy that I'm the only one who turned.
So, welcome to Team Will.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well clone.
I got my first hat on my team.
Cleo was dope.
I'm feeling absolutely incredible.
The minute I saw the chair turn, it was like, "OK, I've done it."
Got a cool vibe about her. Good look.
Got that other tone as well.
Not always, like... power. Yeah.
Stand by for the last contestant of the day.
Ooh. It must be so scary.
Every time it goes quiet, and I hear them walking out,
I am scared for them. Right.
20 seconds.
Do you ever get nervous?
The moment before I go on stage. Yep. My heart beats.
And then, my hands shake.
Singing on national television, that's a biggie.
HE EXHALES
I'm Mark Howard, I'm 27, and I work as an estate agent.
Welcome to Greenfield Close, let me show you around.
# Back when I closed my eyes... #
I've worked as an estate agent eight years now.
I do everything from evaluations right through to completions.
A beautiful kitchen, quartz worktops,
and then bifolds onto the garden. Lovely.
Love my job. See lots of houses, be a little bit nosey,
and meet loads of new people. Let's go take a look at the rest.
Will you do me a pint of lager, darling, while I pull this off?
My mum and dad are a landlord and landlady of a pub,
so it's a proper family thing.
THEY CHUCKLE
My passion for singing, really, started at the karaoke nights.
Singing behind the bar,
that's really about as far as it's gone so far.
I've told him, "It's no different going on The Voice
"to singing karaoke in the pub.
"Picture it like that and you'll be fine."
Stage at Land's End's not quite as big as this, is it?
No. Definitely not.
This is the most nervous that I've ever been.
Pub karaoke to The Voice is a big jump.
Gotta turn it into positive energy.
Just sing your heart out, darling. You'll be fine.
Getting a turn today is literally everything I've ever wanted.
It's my first step in taking a chance, and my first big shot.
I can't talk.
SH E EXHALES
Sorry, I thought I'd righted it.
We had such a long time to try something like this,
and I just don't want to mess it up. CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
HE EXHALES
# It's fire on fire... #
I think the whole thing is just so overwhelming.
I'm so excited to do it,
but, at the same time, I'm petrified of doing it.
Yeah.
SONG: 'Anywhere Away from Here'
# Wild and running
# Fearlessness is Burning bright... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# We knew nothing Cos out of sight is out of mind
# When the lights go up
# Don't know if you notice
# Sometimes, I close my eyes
# Ancl dream I'm somewhere else... # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Anywhere away from here
# Anywhere away from here... #
Wow. # Oh, when I close my eyes
# I wish I could disappear... #
SHE EXHALES Calm down. Calm down!
# When the lights go up
# I don't think I told you
# Sometimes, I close my eyes
# Ancl dream of somewhere else
# Anywhere away from here
. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I wanna have it all
# I wanna have it I wanna have it all... #
Thank you.
# Cos your love is biblical... # Whoo!
# It's biblical, it's biblical. #
What's your name? Mark. Sorry, I can't breathe.
LAUGHTER Where are you from, Mark?
So, I'm from Nottingham. Who did you come here with?
Got my mum, my clad and my little sister.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ancl how old are you? So I'm 27. 27.
So you got a four-turner. Ancl I can't believe it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I can't believe it. Why is that hard for you to believe?
You must know you sing awesome.
I've never been the most confident singer,
I'm not a singer-singer, I'm an estate agent.
You're an estate agent?! I'm an estate agent.
LAUGHTER
Do you sing on your sales pitches? Most of the time no, no.
It's a bit awkward if you're in someone's living room
and you're humming along a tune or something.
# Buy this one, please. # LAUGHTER
From the first note, you know, when you started singing,
I loved the tone of your voice, and then the way you handled the song.
If you had any nerves, it didn't show.
I don't know how, I was petrified.
I just had to press my button because you're so good. Thank you.
I really appreciate that. And that's the truth. Oh, my God.
You're probably nervous before, but you were in that moment,
and nothing else mattered in that moment.
That's how it felt when you were singing.
You are meant to sing. That's right.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I was just completely mesmerised, you should be so proud of yourself.
And I hope, from this performance, you get that confidence and belief.
I would love to have you on my team. You're amazing. Amazing.
Woo-hon'. APPLAUSE
We all feel the same way. You don't have a problem. Mm.
The only thing that you do have is you've got to decide
who you're gonna go with. That's a pretty big problem, Tom.
Yeah, but you wouldn't make a wrong move no matter what you did.
But you will are an excellent singer,
I can tell you that right now. Thank you.
Did you have a person in mind when you came on the show?
I think every clay that I've thought about it, I've changed my mind.
I mean, you're all incredible, so...
I want to do asked that question just to gauge, you know,
how hard do I pitch, or how soft do I pitch?
LAUGHTER
I don't understand how and why you don't believe in yourself.
You should be like, "Yo, I'm the ish."
Singing like that.
My job is to push you, to give you encouragement,
remind you of how awesome you are.
APPLAUSE
I obviously want you on my team, too.
I feel like that song choice was an obvious one for you.
You've got too much of a good voice to stick in your comfort zone,
so I'd like to push you outside of that.
APPLAUSE Thank you.
$0 good!
AUDIENCE SHOUT AND CHEER
Go with your gut, son!
So, I'm gonna... He's gonna make his decision.
There's been one person that I always go back to.
See, I told you you knew who you were gonna pick.
But it changes all the time. Ooh, you liar!
That person, and the person whose team I'd love to be on is...
...is Anne-Marie. SHE CHEERS
# When the lights turn off We're the only ones dancing... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome to my team. Thank you. That was a good pitch.
That was good.
Wow.
How cool is that? Oh, my God.
'I'm feeling ecstatic, like, I can't explain it.'
At first, I didn't even think I'd be able to get through the song,
never mind, like, finish with four chairs turned.
Now are you gonna believe in yourself? You have to now.
CHEERING
That was good. Yay. He was amazing.
To see people that are really, really good at singing,
but then have, like, a career or a job that they're doing,
that to me is, like, wow. Mm.
They haven't had the chance. It was beautiful.
