And I love it.
# And I said, ooh... #
ANNE-MARIE: 'The buzz I get on stage,
'you can't compare it to anything else.'
I feel emotional. I feel free. It's mind-blowing.
TOM: 'I've been performing for most of my life,
'and I never get tired of that feeling.'
You're a bit nervous at the beginning,
but the adrenaline should really kick in.
# Ooh, I'm blinded By the lights... #
WILL: 'That moment on stage is where you turn on,

Thank you. MAN: Love you, Will!
BRUMMIE ACCENT: Thank you so much.
LAUGHTER
So, how many have you got in your teams? Olly?
I've got three. ANNE-MARIE: Yeah, I've got three.
I got two. What about you, Tom? Four.
Who's got a Block left? I have a Block.
Ah. I'm excited to see who we've got tonight.
MUSIC: 'Get Ready' by The Temptations
Here we are. I can't believe it. Oh! So excited.
My name's Benjamin Moss, I'm 27, and I'm from Lincoln.
# Get ready, cos here I come... #
'Oh, by the way, I spilt sweet chilli sauce down my trousers.'
I hope you can't see it. LAUGHS
# Get ready, cos here I come... #
I'm a full-time singer now, but over the past few years,
I've had various jobs.
I've worked at Tesco. Other supermarkets are available.
I was on customer service.
Then I got moved to the clothing department,
cos I'm an absolute style icon.
# It's outta sight... #
I used to love working on customer service,
cos it was the only time that I actually got to use a microphone.
TANNOY CHIME
AS IF OVER TANNOY: We have a slight spillage on aisle three.
Cleaner to aisle three, please.
NORMAL VOICE: That was me radio voice.
That's as good as you're gonna get. LAUGHS
All the jobs I've done before, they were great and paid the bills,
but nothing really gives me a feeling like singing or performing.
I absolutely love it, and I couldn't do anything else.
'My first time ever singing, I was around eight years old.
'I was on holiday.'
My dad just dared me to get up and do a bit of karaoke.
# You're beautiful... #
And I knew from then that I loved that buzz,
that feeling, and that's what I wanted to do.
I brought my guitar down one day to Dad and went, "Dad, listen to this."
He was on the landing doing this, strumming. It was rubbish.
And a few months later, I then started busking.
Whether it was raining, snowing,
my dad used to come with me every weekend.
I used to sit with my newspaper off to the side and watch him perform.
Ancl because he was cute and he could sing,
it was a good mix for making some money for him at that age.
SHE LAUGHS
MUSIC: 'Revival' by Gregory Porter
# I'm trying to run... #
My dad's been saying for years that I should go on The Voice.
And when I told him that I finally got a Blind Audition,
it was such an amazing feeling.
They were literally over the moon for me.
Oh, I just listen to him singing,
and it just tugs at the old heartstrings, doesn't it?
Thumps a bit, doesn't it? Yeah.
We're just immensely proud of him.
He's my little boy at the end of the clay.
I just can't believe a few months ago, I was, like, stacking shelves.
And now I'm here, I'm gonna be on that stage.
And I just need to get a turn. I need to get it.
If I was to win The Voice, it would change my life.
And it is a dream for me to pay off my parents' mortgage,
if I can, one day.
I'm looking for energy,
I'm looking for characters, I'm looking for fun.
If you lot ain't standing up, having a good time, pff...
not happening-
I'll give you a count-in to go. Best of luck.
I'm ready. I feel ready.
I just can't wait for the music to start
so I can just give it everything I've got.
Three, two, one. On you go, good luck.
# You lift me higher
# Out of the fire Out of the flames... #
It means the world to me if I was to get a turn. The world.
# You give me meaning again Revival. #

CHEERING
I think I need to go to the gym. LAUGHTER
Benjamin, I loved it. Thank you, Olly.
I absolutely...
And.. . You turned straightaway.
I had to. I had to. It's just a bit of me. It really is.
I wanted energy, fun,
I wanted everyone up on their feet, dancing,
having a good time, and you brought all of that tonight
with a fantastic performance.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
I turned around, and I could see you jumping around
and entertaining the crowd, and you're just brilliant.
Thank you so much. Love it. it just made me feel good.
Thank you. Ancl that's what I want.
It's really cool, cos I couldn't hear you
being out of breath in your voice at all.
That's good, that's good. Thank God. Yeah.
I think it was the crowd that made me go another level up.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So what do you do for a living?
I've been singing probably ten years this year...
Wow. ..and I recently was working at Tesco as well for a while,
which made me realise I wanna sing for the rest of my life.
LAUGHTER
What made you pick that song?
When I was a kid, my dad used to drive me everywhere,
all the gigs and everything.
Even when he was working the next day,
he'd always have something playing in the car,
and I think that's why I'm a bit of an old soul.
He'd always have Ray Charles in the car. Ray Charles.
Yeah! He'd have a bit of Sir Tom playing in the car.
Yeah! Well, there you go.
And so it's just embedded in me, and I think that's why.
I think that's why.
APPLAUSE
I mean, you sounded really strong, and you were into it,
you know, you were giving it plenty. Thank you.
I was thinking about it, you know, cos I know that song well.
I've seen you sing it. I've seen you sing it.
But you meant it. You meant it when you sang it, and I like that.
Yeah. Thank you. Anyway, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much. APPLAUSE

Are you chuffed? Amazing.
So chuffed. So chuffed. Olly's perfect for you.

Not really. I mean, I don't like anything...
AUDIENCE MURMURS OLLY: Oh! Hang on a minute.
I don't like anything permanent.
I've got none either. Have you?
No tattoos. No piercing.
What? LAUGHTER
I've got, like, 28 tattoos.
Haven't you got Tom on your hand? I do.
Basically, all my tattoos are written by my friends
and what they've taught me in life.
I got Tom to write one, and it says, "We'll be OK."
AUDIENCE: Aww! So... Yes.
Ancl we will, won't we? Yep.
It's lovely. Wait, and you do karate.
So you could punch somebody with the hand that says, "We'll be OK."
LAUGHTER
"Don't forget it!" I'll change it to, "|'ll be OK."
# Running through this strange life Chasing all them green lights... #
It's a bit mad that we're here.
I can't believe, like, it's actually happening.
MUM: Have fun. Cheers, Mum.
Konnichiwa. Boku no namae wa Kai desu.
Juu-hachisaidesu.
You should probably add subtitles there as well.
# Hit me with them good vibes Pictures on my phone, like... #
'My mum's Japanese.'
My dad's English, and I grew up with my two younger brothers
in a small village in Cornwall.
# Running through This strange life... #
Kai's passion for music probably came from early clays
with me playing a few very bad chords on the guitar,
which I then taught him.
And very quickly, he moved away into his own material.
# Got myself a new vocation... #
Do you know what you're going to sing?
Yeah, a few ideas. I wanna do something a bit different, though.
Because of the mix of cultures, I often incorporate
some of the Japanese into the lyrics that I'm writing.
Do you think the coaches like sushi? I think Will.
Bring some on the day in a little bag and then try and convince them.
I'd be happy to take some sushi for the coaches.

Just be yourself. Yeah.
No, it'll be good. Enjoy it.

But this is where I wanna be.
So I'm gonna just bring the energy and give it everything I've got.

I'm doing a big song, but it's not quite what it was originally,
so I hope people enjoy it.

Saiko!
That's cool, bro.
I knew that you were gonna rap. Really?
I dunno what it was. She did.
I was looking at him, and I was like, "He's a rapper."
Was so excited about that coming in,
and then when you started rapping in Japanese, I was just like...
"I've gotta turn around." I loved it so much.
Beyond you rapping in another language,
you have a great tone of voice.
Your energy was great. You were all over the stage.
Yes, you've got everything.
Oh. Thank you so much. Honestly, that means so much.
Thank you.
The reason why I turned, it was because it was so different.
I've never had anybody do quite what you did.
So I thought, "Why would I wanna hold out?"
Because you were really, really something.
A rig a to gozaimasu.
APPLAUSE
Nihon daisuke!
Ah, ha-ha! That's good.
Love it. Thank you.
Honestly, I just thought that was a fantastic performance.
It really stood out. I'd buy that tomorrow, you know,
that's kind of... That's something you'd listen to
on the radio or you'd stream and go, "Cor, this is so cool."
The fact you can just jump into some Japanese halfway through -
told us you were gonna do it, and then you did it -
really superb, well clone.
Thank you so much. Thank you. APPLAUSE
Yeah, so, first, I'm like, "He's a little under the note,"
and then it dropped, I was like, "Holy moly. OK, cool."
And then... you start flowing in Japanese.
I'm like, "Oh, hell..."
LAUGHTER ..because it's very rare
that folks come on The Voice and rap in Japanese.
Mm.
You gotta know that you're the ichi, bro. lchi? Hai.
You're the first, bro. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
And I would like you on my team. I think you're fresh.

Really would. APPLAUSE
I loved it, and I would like you to be on my team.
You are a unique performer...
Thank you. ..and I appreciate that.

I just think you're very special, and I'll help you go all the way.
Yeah, I'd just do my best.
A rig a to gozaimasu.

Do you know, now that we're here, I feel absolutely daunted!

You know that, don't you? Yeah, absolutely.
# I don't need no TV I don't need no news... #
TOM: I'll be over by there now in a minute!
That's a Welsh phrase. "I'll be over by now in a minute"?
Yeah. I'll be over by there now in a minute.
"|'ll be over by there now in a minute."
"I'll be over by there now in a minute." Yeah.
That's a nice lyric to a song. That's Welsh.
"|'ll be over by there now in a minute"? Yeah.
Whose jacket is this coat?
No! Do you say that? Yeah.
"Whose coat is this jacket?"
You know, they say things like that in Wales.
And you know what a microwave is called in Welsh?
Right, go on, hit me with it. "Popty ping".

MUSIC: 'Wonder' by Naughty Boy ft Emeli Sande
I'm Jordan Spencer, I'm 26,
and I'm a priest in Fishguard in west Wales.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
Since I was a little boy, I've always loved singing,
and it's really wonderful to share, in worship with people,
singing and praising God.
As a priest and as a singer,
they both absolutely can sit side by side
and absolutely complement each other.
So, when I sing, I just get lost in my own little world,
and it's kind of a world where I can just be me.
It's really, really wonderful.
Sounds really cheesy, though, doesn't it?
"I'd love a career like Adele."
That's a really cheesy thing to say...
standing in a collar!
My partner Luke and I have been together for seven years.
# When I see your face... #
You're used to large congregations, but this is very, very different.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know, absolutely.
There were challenges and struggles
being a gay man coming into the Church.
However, it's about being on the inside
and changing it from the inside out.
No matter what any person or policy said,
I truly believe in my heart that God has called me as I am, as a gay man,
to be a priest and to serve the community.
Jordan is such a kind, loving boy.
He just was to help others,
and he just wants to make people happy.
Be yourself. You know I love you.
Oh, don't get upset! There she goes!
I knew I would! No!
I don't want to get upset, but I'm just so, so proud of you.
Remember that.
Singing in front of church congregations is a real safe place,
so stepping out on that stage is a really daunting experience.
Today means a lot to me because there was a time in my life
where being a priest, being gay and being a singer,
I just thought just wasn't possible.
# You think that I Wanna run and hide
# I'll keep it all Locked up inside... #
The clay I get to walk out on that stage
means everything to me.
Ancl I just pray that I get a turn.
# I'm not lost, no just undiscovered. #
SONG: 'A Million Dreams'
# I close my eyes Ancl I can see... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # A world that's waiting for me

# Through where no-one's been before
# But it feels like home
# They can say, they can say It all sounds crazy... #
APPLAUSE # They can say, they can say
# I've lost my mind... #
Come on! # I don't care, I don't care
# If they call me crazy
# We can live in a world That we design... #
APPLAUSE
# Cos every night, I lie in bed
# The brightest colours fill my head
# A million dreams Are keeping me awake... #

# When love it just ain't enough? #
It was a really great performance.
He was a very good singer. Precise. Yeah.
I was halfway there, but I'm really looking for a powerhouse.
Like, a proper... Yeah. ..powerhouse singer.
I've gone out there, I've given it my all.
Erm, there was nothing more I could've given to the song.
I think he needs to learn a little bit more and then come back.
OLLY: I agree, yeah. Exactly.
Learn from this experience and then come back. Yeah.
Well, there's always next year.
LISA: So proud of you, jord. You OK?
Fantastic. Yeah. Absolutely fantastic.
I will go back to my parishioners and continue to serve,
and I'll obviously continue to get myself out there.

My name's Noeva, I'm 31 years old, and I'm from London.
I recently became a mum to my daughter Riah.
She is eight months old, and she is my whole world.
I love waking up to her little face every day...
Ah! ..feeding her, playing with her.
Whenever I sing, she's always smiling at my face.
But if I hit a bad note, you will know.
Like, she'll be like, "Er..." SHE LAUGHS
MWILWA: Can't get enough. You got rhythm, girl.
He's amazing.
'Noeva, she's special.'
I loved her before, but ever since she became a mum,
the love has just grown massively.
I've always been quite shy. I grew up in quite a quiet town.
My family were one of the only Black families in that town,
so it was quite difficult to connect with people around
cos I always felt different.

I thought it was, by the way, really sexy...
SH E CH UCKLES ..really slick,
and your note selection was fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you.
ANNE-MARIE: Same as Olly, really.
I'm over thinking, and I'm listening too hard,
but well done for getting up here. Thank you, thank you.
But you sound lovely. Ancl you know what you're doing.
You're all over that song.
I turned for you because I loved the way you sing.
You've got what it takes, and I hear that, and I see that.
Really, really good. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
I would like you to be on my team
because, like, as far as singing technique, you're awesome.
And... ain't nobody like you on my team.
Hm. But I see the future.
You winning.
Oh, my God! APPLAUSE
To put it out there. I'm just putting it out there.

MUSIC: 'Come With Me' by Riton 81 Bad Boy Chiller Crew
Got a good feeling.
There's some betters coming, do you think?
Couple of betters, yeah. Yeah.
AS OLLY: "Betters." LAUGHTER
I got Essex on my right, I got Essex on my left.
Do you like it? Essex sandwich.
Yeah, a little Essex sandwich. Yeah.
Bit of Welsh sauce in the middle. Exactly.
Bit of Welsh meat. LAUGHTER
I like that! Bit of Welsh lamb in the middle.
LAUGHTER
MUSIC: 'I'm A Cuckoo' by Belle and Sebastian
Come right up to that second step. I will give you a count-in.
All set.
I'm Marc Halls, I'm 35,
and I'm a musician from With am in Essex.
I live with my wife Annie and two tortoises,
Victor Mel drew and Mo Farah. Cucumber?
"Mo" for his intense speed.
HE LAUGHS Ooh!
#Jesus told me Go after every coin
# Like it was the last In the world... #
Annie and I really love to grow our own vegetables.
I get a real kick out of growing potatoes.
I don't know why.
# I know I need my shepherd Here tonight... #
Annie and I met in school.
I actually really liked her, and she didn't like me back.
And I've never let it go. HE LAUGHS
Mark is kind of funny,
and he really loves singing and playing music all clay.
When I was 17,
my friend and I started a metal band called Fei Comodo
and spent the following ten years gigging and touring.
The band, after a while, just started to dwindle away.
I decided to get a house and sort of earn some money
instead of just living on the floor of a van.
HE LAUGHS
'I work full-time as a musician
'with two friends of mine, Dan and Jacob.'
We mainly do functions,
so corporate parties, weddings, things like that.
Marc practices all clay, every clay, I think.
We've got musical instruments everywhere in the house.
He might be in the middle of making dinner
and then just sort of start twiddling on the piano.
If I'm not gigging, I sort of lose who I am a little bit.
If I'm not singing, not performing in some way.
And I know that isn't necessarily healthy,
but it's kind of true. HE CH UCKLES
MAN: Don't over think it, just commit. Go for it. Yeah.
Do what you do. Yeah, do what Marc does.
Do what Marc does. Bring it home.
HE LAUGHS Thanks!
I've spent so many years gigging and gigging and gigging
that coming on The Voice is definitely challenging me
to do something that I'm not fully comfortable with.
MUSIC: 'Standing With You' by Guy Sebastian
The cameras and the big studio lights,
it's a great experience,
but it's something that I'm like, "Whoa!"
Put me in a pub with a little PA and I'd be fine, but...
# Cos I'm standing with you Tonight... #
The nerves are kicking in now,
but, er, I'm just gonna get on there and try to zone out
and just feel my way through it.
I hope I can give a good enough performance to stand up
against some of the other people on the show.
# I'm standing with you tonight... #
I have to just trust my voice
and trust that I can do what I'm trying to do.
# I'm standing with you
# I'm standing with you tonight. #

MUSIC: 'I'll Be There' by Jess Glynne

OLLY: I've got to ask a question. Yeah.
Me and Will were very upset we didn't the Gogglebox call-up.
I was told that I was only allowed one person.
Yeah, see, Anne-Marie was asked to pick one person to go on with her,
and guess who she picked? Me!
AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS Whoo!

It is a comfy sofa.
She's making herself at home!
My name is Alicia Hooper, I'm 34,
I'm from Newport, and I'm a singing teacher.
# Me, me, me, me, me Me, me, me, me! #
# Give it to me! #
I live with my partner, Josh. He's my childhood sweetheart.
We met when I was 16,
and we had a drunken kiss in a nightclub.
Ancl then it all stemmed from there!
Ancl we have a daughter called Alba-Rae, and she's seven.
She's a ray of sunshine. She lights up any room she walks in.
Are you proud of Mummy? Mm-hm. Yeah.
She's amazing.
That much, or that much? That much.
That proud!
My clad is my biggest inspiration.
He's sung professionally his entire life,
and I've always wanted to follow in his footsteps.
My first stage appearance, I basically gate-crashed my dad's gig,
stormed the room with my rendition of Viva Espana.
She stole the show, brought the house down, and she walked off,
and then, without any prompting,
walked back onto the stage and took a bow.
And then she curtsied.
And I'm just standing there with my microphone,
going, "I can't follow that."
I'm a singing teacher.
Basically, you're delivering music lessons
and trying to inspire the next generation.
I love what I do, but I've been a performer since I was three.
I was lead role in Annie when I was eight,
and then I was cast in The Story Of Tracy Beaker
series two as bad girl Amber.
My most famous Tracey Baker line was, "Go play in the traffic!"
She was so harsh!
MUSIC: 'Favourite Part Of Me' by Astrid S
I would just love to know where my career could take me.
The artist who's singing this song
was singing the song primarily to her daughter,
and that's why the song resonates so much to me.
Good luck! Get ready for Mum.
# I'm reminded Of how lucky I am... #
When I walk on that stage,
I'm gonna look to the side and see my daughter.
I just know that everything's gonna be fine.
# My favourite part of me is you

'I grew up in a big family.'
Four older sisters, and me and my twin brother.
It was a great atmosphere to be brought up in.
When friends and family would come over,
I was the token guy at the barbecue jamming.
Everyone seemed to love it.
I live with my... newly... my new fiancee.
Well, not new fian... fiancee! Recently... How do you say that?
'We just did a little trip away to Cornwall.'
Luckily, she said "yes".

MUSIC: 'I Am' by James Arthur
# All I know
# It's too late for me To change your mind... #
I've moved from the most isolated city in the world
to come to London and pursue my dream.
But what inspired me to get into music
was just the way it made me feel.
If I'm not singing a song, I'm songwriting in my head.
Ancl I just wanna be able to do this every single clay.
I busk, I perform in pubs, bars...
But a stage like this is quite different.
I'm pretty nervous.
# What you wanna believe... #
Music is all I think about, so this means everything to me.
I've got to be willing to do anything to make it happen.
# Who am I to tell you What you think you see?
# It ain't my business to you What to think of me. #

Thank you very much. Yeah.
APPLAUSE It's great.
I didn't press my button cos we're at that point in the show
where we're over thinking different things,
but I'm so glad you've got, you know, a two-chair turn.
You've got two great coaches. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thanks, guys.
I would like you to be on my team
because, like, you sung that fantastic.
Thank you. Thanks very much.
Ancl I can't wait to hear songs that you write. Yeah.
Yeah, I'd love for you to be on my team, Mr Pop. Awesome.
AUDIENCE LAUGHS
You sounded really good, and I feel we could work together

and I'll help you to achieve that.
So that's what would happen with... with me.
Thank you. Thanks.
Erm...
I just want to say thanks, both of you, so much for turning.
Coming in today, I had some vision of who I would pick

MUSIC: 'just Watch Me Now' by Lady Bri
Do I have to carry this on? No. No?
I was gonna say, I will drop it, and it will break.
I'm Claire Cordell, I'm 31, and I'm from Watford.
# It's showtime... #
I work in the Clapham Grand in London, which is a music venue,
and it is just the most fun, bizarre place to work,
and I'm absolutely obsessed with it.
One of the main things I enjoy about working here
is that it is a place
where you get to work with and watch other performers.
#just watch me now... #
Occasionally, when there's a live show or something happening
and I'm doing something like mopping the floor,
I do kind of look at the stage wistfully.
Ancl kind of go... "Oh, my God, I'd love that."
And then I carry on mopping the floor like Cinderella!
But I'm just gonna wait till they ask me.
I'll wait till I'm famous enough, and they say,
"Wanna perform here?" and I'll say, "All right."
I've been singing most of my life
and discovered that I was halfway decent when I was about eight
because at my primary school,
one of the punishments for talking in assembly
was to stand up and sing,
so I stood up and sang Morning Has Broken in front of my whole school.
SHE SHRIEKS It was horrible,
but then they were like, "Oh, actually, she's quite good,"
and I was like, "Oh, my God, I can do this!"
MUSIC: 'Never Let Me Go' by Florence And The Machine
I have come to The Voice this year
because I can't think of anything I actually love more than performing.
I don't take much in life particularly seriously.
I'm quite chill, but singing is the exception for that,
and working at The Grand has kind of given me a bit of a kick
because you see all the performers on such a regular basis,
you know, like, "No, that is definitely what I wanna be doing."
I feel a mad amount of pressure on myself,
but also, I'm so excited, and I'm so ready for it.
On you go, good luck.
# Deliver me Never let me go, never let me go
# Never let me go Never let me go... #
I'm gonna sing from my heart, I'm gonna sing from my soul.
# Never let me go Never let me go... #
I wanna make myself proud.

Wow! Thank you.
What a stunning performance that was.
Thanks, babe. That's all right, babes. No problem!
AUDIENCE LAUGHS You are too good not to turn for.
Thank you, my love.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Mate...
I gotta commend you on taking that song on.
Stupid, innit? I would've thought so.
TOM CHUCKLES
But you did it! I mean, you did it.
You know, I listened, and I thought, "There's no way..."
There ain't no way. "There ain't no way...
"for you to get through this song without slipping up somewhere."
And you didn't.
Aw, thank you. You know, you just sang it,
and you felt it... and so did I.
So that's why I hit my button.
Thank you. And I think you're a great singer.
So... Thank you so much.
Blimey! Thank you.
I agree. I think that was brilliant.
I just felt like it was Tom vibe.
I saw Olly going at the end,
and you were both going at exactly the same time. Yeah. Really?
I was like, "No!" I thought "We can't let you go."
I was like, "This is ridiculous."
Yeah, you are really amazing. Thanks, babe.
I'm getting flashbacks to season two,
and Leanne went on to win The Voice
cos she hopped on the right team, and that was Tom's team.
That's the reason why I didn't turn. Thanks. Yeah.
But there is another coach here, as well, and... There is.
OLLY AND AUDIENCE LAUGHS
No, I think I know what Will's saying,
but I would love the opportunity to be...
to have you on my team.
This could be the moment where you just...
You're a gem that could win this show. There's something about you.
Your voice is mad. You should've got a four-chair turn.
Honestly, that was so good!
MUSIC: 'Unconditionally' by Katy Perry
Now, who are you going to decide to be your coach?
My God. I didn't think any of yo use was gonna turn, so I'm chuffed.

Hey, she's great. She was in her element right there.
You know, she just... was in it, she lived it. Yeah.
I think being on Team Tom
is gonna just come with so much experience.
It's Tom Jones, man. Who wouldn't wanna be on Tom's team?
Wow. Yeah. I wanna listen to that again.
Yeah, I want her to come back. Nah, she's great. Beautiful.
