If I had the ability to go back in time
and whisper to my 15-year-old self?
# You close your eyes this time... #
I would say, fight for all the dreams
you might've had, because now you're here.
Some of the best advice that I ever got was from Frank Sinatra.
He said, "You don't have to hammer everything.
"Save your voice."
But when you're young, that's hard to do.
The best advice that I was ever given was,
"Have a bit more belief in yourself".
"Keep going, keep trying. Never give up."
Live every clay as it comes.
# Hold on, hold on...
Don't care about what people might think about you.
# just a little longer... #
Wear whatever you wanna wear, sing however you wanna sing,
do whatever you wanna do.
Your life is yours.
# We are all surviving... #
Go out there, do what you're meant to do.
# We are all surviving We are all surviving...
If you do your best, nobody can say any more.
You have to be yourselves. That's all you can do, really.
My mum said to me, "Well, if you don't believe in yourself,
then why should anybody else?"
You don't wanna ever have regrets.
When it's lights, cameras, action...
...turn on.
# This is The Voice! #

MUSIC: 'Feels Like Home' by Sigala, Fuse ODG and Sean Paul
Eh, eh, eh, eh!
My name is Triniboi... Bleurgh!
Sorry, just a quick question.
Is it extremely close, or is it, like, a good distance?
Yeah, man, I look good, all right.
Let's go. My name is RodellSorzano, AKA Triniboi joocie.
I'm 32 years old. I live in London.
For a living, I'm a teacher from Year 7 to Year 11,
and I love my job.
My first experience of being on stage
was playing the steel pans.
I love the adrenaline rush of being able to entertain.
# Tell them again It feels like home
# It feels like home... #
Growing up, Rodell, wow.
He was always energetic.
Just a fun-loving person.
# Oh-oh-oh-oh... #
Sometimes I feel like I live a double life,
being a musician and a teacher.
So, the kids at school recently found out
that their teacher is a musician.
Their reaction was... shocked.
The thing is now, we don't have that many spaces.
Yeah, how many do you have? I'm on six. Four spaces left.
Anne-Marie? Six.
Tom?
There's seven in my team now, so three spaces left.
Will, what have you got?
Five. Five?
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Uh-oh. And one more Neck.
No, you haven't! No more blocks left.
Oh, you guys don't know about the psychological block.
LAUGHTER
I'm so proud of you. Yeah? You have so much ambition.
You have to work hard to achieve whatever you want,
and I know you will deliver up there.

He deserves everything that comes his way.
# Gonna shake Throw it away in the dirt, yeah
# Gonna shake, throw it away... #
Today's audition is huge for me.
I'm singing my own song, which I wrote and composed.
I know it's a bit of a risk,
but this song means a lot to me, my culture.

To get the coaches to turn around,
I'm gonna give them authentic vibes... me.
# I am giant, ooh. #

LAUGHTER He's out of breath!
So, my name is RodellSorzano, originally from Trinidad,
but I go by the name of Triniboi joocie.
Triniboi joocie? CHEERING
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, where does the "j00cie" come from?
I tend to create my music based on a mango.
LAUGHTER
A mango being, the more you eat it is the more you want it,
so I wanted to make music that is palatable to any audience.
CHEERING ANNE-MARIE: Yes!
I love a mango!
So, I don't know why I didn't turn.
I'm over thinking it.
The beats were freaking awesome,
the rhythm you were riding was great.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What song is that?
So, it's an original composition called Bottle Over Head.
You wrote that? I wrote it and co-produced it.
What?! Yeah. Wow. APPLAUSE
It's very rare that a singer comes on,
sings an original song... That's true.
...that the crowd reacts to as if they heard it a thousand times.
AN N E-MARIE: Yeah. AUDIENCE: WOO!
That is freaking amazing.
Yeah, he was over there going, "Get your hands up!"
And you were like, "Oh, uh!" LAUGHTER
But he was going for it. It was amazing.
But, yeah, music isn't my only outlet.
I'm also a secondary school teacher. I'm a science teacher.
CHEERING Wow.
I think it is very important to have your qualifications,
but also have an outlet to express art,
to express expression.
Love that, love that. APPLAUSE
Amazing. Love the energy.
I was absolutely rocking in my chair.
I could see this amazing audience in front of me,
just all having the time of their lives.
So, that is what I love,
and I'm so happy that you're on the show,
and I'm so glad I pressed my button.
APPLAUSE
That's the energy that I love.
Well, unlike Olly, I turned round really quickly
so I could actually see... LAUGHTER
...your performance. I know.
Ancl it was great. You had so much energy.
And I didn't even have to wait for anyone's reaction in the audience.
I just had to press my button, cos I think it was brilliant.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The only reason why I didn't turn,
I didn't see Olly turn, I saw Anne-Marie turn,
cos I think she could do more for you than I could.
Ancl that's being honest. But I loved it.
You know, I was digging it. APPLAUSE
You know, you were definitely in it.
It was great. Thank you.
Between the two of them, you have great selection.
Now they gotta pitch. OK. Yeah, they gotta pitch.

Ancl now you're gonna sing in front of Sir Tom.
The first time I went on stage, I was nine.
My father had a show called The Heartbeats.
I joined, and we went on tour together.
I knew from that first experience of being there

I enjoyed it, I love the energy.
Did you think we should've turned?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
He was very good, but nothing I haven't heard before.
# It's human to dream... #
Don't worry about it. I'm not.
You all right, son? You did amazing, sweetheart.
At least I got to perform in front of Tom.
Tom Jones started doing the social clubs,
so I'll just continue his legacy.
# It's human to let your heart break

goes away and works...
Yeah, more determined. Gets determined.
Don't give up. Yeah.
My name's Francesca, I'm 27, and I'm a music teacher.
MUSIC: 'Glue' by Fickle Friends
I teach one-to-one classes with students who wanna learn
piano and singing.
I really enjoy m)! J-Ob-
Watching that growth and being able to be a part of it...
It's giving me goose bumps thinking about it now.
It's just so nice. It's really lovely.
I can remember her three years of age,
sat with me at the piano, singing Bye Bye Love.
Music is her passion.
I'm so excited for the Blind Audition.
It could be the beginning of something totally unimaginable.
This morning, Francesca was quite upset
because she basically could not hardly speak.
She's lost her voice.
So, it was as if this is just not gonna happen.
'I don't really think that this could be worse timing.'
I need my voice to be ready and in good shape.
It's the one day of the whole year. I know.
But, you know.
We know that she will go out, she'll try her absolute hardest.
She's talented, she's beautiful, and she's my little girl.
# Our blazing hearts Will burn it down... #
'I've gotta be positive and go out there
'and give it what I've got and just hope for the best.'
# We are fire... #
Nothing is gonna stop me from getting out on that stage
and singing.
I'm just hoping that my voice holds out.
# We are brighter Oh, oh
# And we will glow. #
WHISPERS: Come on, you can do it.
SONG: 'Everybody's Changing'
# You say
# You wander your own land

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# You're gone from here
# Soon you will disappear
# Fading into beautiful light... #
AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT
# Everybody's changing And I don't feel right... #
Woo-hoo! # So little time
# I try to understand
# I'm trying to make a move just to stay in the game
# I try to stay awake And remember my name
# But everybody's changing
# And I don't feel the same. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I could get used to this
# The way we talk and all you give
# I could get used to this

What's your name? Where you from?
My name's Francesca, I'm from Liverpool.
Liverpool, nice.
You're from Burscough!
LAUGHTER
I did not expect anyone to turn, cos I'm actually really unwell, so...
You're unwell?
Yeah, my voice disappeared today,
and I spent all day trying to get it back, so...
thank you for turning, thank you for listening.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I did think, "Why are you pulling back?",
and I thought maybe you were just nervous.
But now it makes complete sense. You're not feeling too well.
But it was so beautiful.
I loved every minute of it. It was amazing.
Thank you, thank you so much. APPLAUSE
Woo-hoe'.!
You definitely got into the song.
It was tender and it was real. I really, really enjoyed it.
APPLAUSE
Having your voice not be at its best,
you delivered that to the pinpoint on the emotion.
APPLAUSE
You still came out here, and you still got two turns.
It was really beautiful to listen to. Thank you.
OLLY: You've really struck a chord with me.
I loved the song choice, I love your voice as it is.
I'd love to be your coach, I really, really, really would.
I think you're special.
Wow, thank you. Wow. APPLAUSE
I mean, I feel the same way. I think you have a lovely voice.
And I'd love to work with you, you know,
I'd love to get songs for you
and hear what you sound like when you're in good voice.
I'm interested now, I can't wait to hear it!
It would be lovely if you came on my team.
AUDIENCE SHOUT NAMES
Oh, gosh.
Erm...
Go with your heart!
Even though I've struck chord with Olly...
There's a "but" coming. LAUGHTER
...but I think I'm gonna go with Tom.
# We could make tonight
# One of those Sister Ray Kinda nights... #
Yeah, well clone. # It's your love
# It's mythical, a ritual... # Thank you.
# Moving like a knife... # Ancl get well soon!
I will. Thank you so much. Thank you.
No worries. # It's your touch... #
Well clone, Tom. Yeah, nice, very nice.
AUDIENCE CHANTING: Tom! Tom! Tom!
# We can make tonight... #
I feel like someone's gonna pinch me and I'm gonna wake up.
She's amazing. Genuine, real.
Talk about overcoming your adversities.
Mm. Like, wow!
# So, raise your glass If you are wrong
# In all the right ways... #
Olly! What was the first album you ever bought?
First album I ever bought?
Bat Out of Hell, Meatloaf.
AS MEATLOAF: # Ancl I would do anything
# For love. #
CHEERING
That was actually brilliant.
What about what he said, "But I Won't do that"?
What is that? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, what was she asking him to do?
Must be something kinky.
LAUGHTER
# Raise your glass, for me. #
I'm Alex, I'm 24, and I work as a data analyst.
I'm Rio, and I just graduated from university.
We're from Telford, and we're Smokiecoco.
# Come up in the spot Lookin' extra fly
# 'Fore the day I die... #
My brother Alex is the best big brother I could ask for.
# |'ma touch the sky Now let's take them... #
Being best friends and brothers, it's the best thing, to be honest.
He does all, like, the big brother duties,
you know, like paying for... THEY LAUGH
"The good thing about my brother is that he pays for everything"
is basically what he just said.
# Put your hands high... #
When our clad was younger, he was actually a DJ,
so we grew up around music all the time.
We were always trying to rap all the songs that we'd heard on TV
and on the radio and stuff.
BOTH: # Ooh, baby, baby... #
They've always loved rapping,
they've always loved singing along to the songs.
Then, all of a sudden, they just started making up their own lyrics.
We've never actually officially performed in front of everyone.
I think the biggest audience we've ever performed in front of
might actually be our parents.
I think our parents are the lucky ones.
From just performing to us
and then performing to millions of people on the stage, what can I say?
I'm totally proud of them.
You know the coaches, they're in there. Yeah.
They're waiting. I can't wait.
# Sometimes you got to take a chance To break through... #
I wanna get out there now. Yeah.
I think I'm nervous.
You're not going on stage! THEY LAUGH
# That's what gives you everything Or breaks you... #
I'm excited.
I'm ready to show the whole country what we can do, to be honest.
Because we haven't performed before, I've never really felt this feeling,
so I'm excited to see what's gonna happen.
We wanna do rap, you know, for the rest of our lives.
I think The Voice could take us to another level.
I'm hoping we can look back on today and be like,
"This was the clay that changed it for us."
# Ain't giving up on you. #
SHE SIGHS My heart's racing, seriously.
# Look, I'm tryna find the magic
# And now I'm channelling Natasha Tryna write a classic
# These words'll never stop Our story's left unwritten
# I'm not kidding that these stories Are the reason that I'm living
# These words are my own Ancl I don't wanna ghost
BOTH: # I'm on stage Rapping with my bro
# I just grown up With the flow
# Rap, don't you know
# That I love you, I love you I love you?
# Yeah, but honestly I live and breathe this
# Can someone call Natasha Ancl tell her we got a remix?
# I'm just trying to earn my stripes Like a zebra
# On my sneakers We'll be selling out arenas
# But I've known you Since Tupac and Biggie
# Had two shots, I'm living
# So shout out to Dkkdy And The Rock
# Cos baby You're the hip to my hop
# The Nellys And thejennys from the block
# And maybe you're the reason That my heart beats its BPM
# I'm playing jay-Z songs Till the CD bent

# Bro, I could tell a whole story All I need's this pen
# Ancl from the first one I wrote Till I rest my soul

# I just grown up with the flow Rap, don't you know
# That I love you, I love you I love you?
# These words are my own Yeah
# And I don't wanna ghost
# But I'm on stage Rapping with my bro
# That's me
# I can feel it in my toes # Rap till you know that
# I love you, I love you I love you. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Light us up Take us to higher ground
# Don't let our love fall down... #
The last second!
So, I was trying to guess.
A lot of times, you'd be like,
"I'm up here chilling with my bros" or "rapping with my bros."
Are you guys really brothers?
We were thinking, like, "You need to turn around and see".
OLLY: What's your names, where you from?
I'm Alex. I'm Rio. And we're from Telford.
And what's the name of your crew? We're Smohecoco.
So, Smokie is actually our dad's nickname, when he was younger.
And then "coco" kind of just sounded nice, so...
Smokiecoco. APPLAUSE
TOM: How long you been doing this? This is our first performance.
First ever?! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well, it sounds great. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I think what's so amazing about The Voice over the years
is the fact that you can still have a voice by being a rapper,
and I think you've got the perfect coach.
Even if we were pitching, you would've picked Will, so...
ANNE-MARIE: I think so, too.
It's a match made in heaven,
and you're on Team Will, so well clone.
APPLAUSE Amazing.
To be honest, we grew up on Will,
and he's one of the very first people we ever saw live.
APPLAUSE Oh, wow.
Oh, that's dope.
I think you're great. I think you're gonna go so far.
As you said, he was a massive inspiration to you
and now you get to work with him, so I'm happy that you are with Will.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
You guys wrote that yourself? Yeah.
We take it in turns writing verses.
I mean, we've been together since we've been born,
so we're pretty good at the splitting the verse thing.
Your tag-team back-and-forth was solid.
Your rhythm, your pocket is solid.
There's just a couple intonation things,
but that just takes some coaching, and I can help you get there.
The reason why I hit my button
is because there's not a lot of rhyme, or grime, or hip-hop, or rap
that comes through the show,
so when folks do and they have some specialness,
I gotta support and represent.
Thank you, guys. TOM: Welcome to the show.
Thank you! Thank you. Welcome to my team!
# Ooh, oh
# I'll be up If you can't be right here
# I do the same thing... # Oh, my man!
# I told you I changed Even when I knew I never could... #
I'm glad they're on the show.
This is my first duo rap group. OLLY: Yeah.
Ancl they can put Midlands on the map.
LAUGHTER
Smokiecoco.
Will, for us, is a hero.
To have him coach us and guide us,
I can't ask for much more, to be honest.
Right, we're gonna turn now. I've got a good feeling.
What are you looking for, then? I don't know.
I'm looking for Wilson Pickett. LAUGHTER
I'm looking for Otis Redding. I'm looking for Sam Cooke.
If they all come out, I think we're all pressing our buttons, Tom.
I'm so excited.
My name's Amanda, I'm 29 years old.
I'm a health care assistant, and I'm originally from Poland.
I grew up in a very small village called Dubienka
with my two sisters, my mum and my dad.
About six years ago, I moved from Poland to UK.
My job in the hospital is caring for elderly with dementia,
so I'm there when they need me.
I just love my work, and I love helping people.
So, I've got the nickname Smiler.
I just smile every day.
Try to give the smile to patients as well.
My job is also to try to make patients' day better,
so sometimes I sing with them.
And that makes me happy. That gives me a joy.
Are you excited?
AMANDA LAUGHS NERVOUSLY I am! I am so scared.
I woke up this morning,
and I was thinking, "What am I doing here?"
# This is what it feels like... #
This is absolutely the biggest moment in my life
that I've been dreaming since I was a little girl.
To perform and to share music is what I feel in my heart.
Oh, my God, it's real! I can't stop smiling.
I'm so happy to be here.
# This is what it feels like... #
Performing is what I want to do forever.
# To give your heart away... #
I would do anything to get a turn.
I've got to give my everything today, and I will.
# This is what it feels like To give your heart away. #
SONG: 'Castles'
# You learnt my love You hit the target

Yeah, I liked what she did, I did.
But we are at that stage in the competition
where the slots are filling up. That's the problem.
I've only got two spots left.
They know what they want, and I guess I wasn't the one they wanted.
She sang good, but...
It's almost like she gave us every single possible thing
she could possibly bring to that song. Yeah.
Less is more.
But then we get someone who does less,
and we go, "Give us more!"
I think I gave 100% of myself.
I'm happy I've been here, and it's such a great opportunity.
I'm never gonna give up on singing.

# This is The Voice! #
MUSIC: 'Alll Know So Far' by P!nk
You had four singles out last year,
an album, you won The Voice and you wrote a book?
Yeah. SHE LAUGHS
During... the process of the album, I started doing therapy,
and as I was learning more about myself,
I wrote a book about it.
Do you... Do you struggle with anxiety?
Yeah. That's why I went to therapy. Yeah, me too.
There's a lot of folks that struggle with that.
Yeah.
# I haven't always been this way
# I wasn't born a renegade... #
I've tried hypnotherapy, yoga, meditation...
I've tried so much. Mm-hm.
I feel like now I need to speak about it because
if I can help someone else, that'll make the world better, won't it?
Yeah. That's awesome.
I'm proud of you. Thanks.
SHE LAUGHS
Right now, my heart is pounding and I can't stop, like, fidgeting.
I keep... I feel like I'm gonna rip one of the buttons off my sleeves.
I'm Mila, I'm 16, and I'm a student from the Isle of Wight.
# Our love is strong as a lion Soft as the cotton you lie in... #
I'm so proud of you. You've come so far. It's amazing.
Thanks.
I can't believe that I'm here. It's... It's really surreal.
# We had that mix tape on Every weekend... #
I've grown up with my mum, my clad,
my two little sisters and my big brother.
We've got a dog, so... that's nice. I don't really know what to say!
I'll probably forget the words
cos I always forget the words before I do it.
Ancl then it will be over really quickly.
It will be if you forget the words. Pfft!
THEY LAUGH
When Mila was little, she was quite quiet,
and she struggled at school a little bit to feel like
she sort of fitted, belonged.
And then she found singing...
...and it was like she found where she was meant to be.
You're gonna do really well,
and if you don't, we'll still be proud.
We're proud of you whatever.
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Aw.
MILA LAUGHS
'I am quite shy in person.'
I'm not very good at making friends.
But when I perform, I feel like I take that
and I use it as my voice.
Today, I'm here to just prove to myself
that I can do it, because it's been a thing
where I just can't believe that I'm actually good enough.
# And I will hold I'll hold on to you... #
For her to overcome anxiety to do this is amazing,
cos I've never been able to... do that myself.
Just immensely proud of her.
# Cos I'm not givin' up Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up
# No, not yet... #
I'd love to be able to show to other people
that just cos you're nervous and just cos you're shy
or you believe that you can't do it...
On you go, good luck.
...that it's still possible.
# I'm not givin' up
# Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up No, not me... #
NERVOUS SIGHS
# Even when nobody else Believes... #
Today's a huge step for me,
but I'm gonna give them everything I've got.
# So don't give up on me. #
IN HALES, EXHALES
# Oh, they're tryna shoot down Angels
# They're tryna pull their wings off
# So they can't fly
# And, oh But she's so brave, though
# just like a tornado She's taking us by storm
# You can't stop the girl from going
# You can't stop the world From knowing

# Oh You can't stop the girl from going
# You can't stop the world From knowing
# The truth will set you free Oh

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I see your true colours Shining through
# I see your true colours
# And that's why I love you
# So don't be afraid
# To let them show
# True colours, true colours
# Are beautiful... #
What's your name? I'm Mila, and I'm 16.
Mila, and you're 16? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Where are you from, Mila? I'm from the Isle of Wight.
You sang wonderfully well.
Thank you. APPLAUSE
Angelic. Thank you.
It's not an easy song to sing,
and you've gotta have control cos there's some long notes in there
and you've gotta hold onto them.
Did you like singing it?
Yeah. It was a bit scary because of the big note,
but I liked singing it.
As a matter of fact, you nailed that big note.
Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OLLY: Why did you pick that song?
I think I could relate to it a lot, like, You Can't Stop The Girl,
I think with my anxiety and my nerves...
I think that I could relate.
Aw. Yeah.
APPLAUSE
I feel like I heard your nerves coming through,
but you have a very pure voice,
and I could hear that you have more to give.
And the older you get and the more you learn,
I feel like you can open that up, cos I could hear emotion,
and that's all that really gets to me, you know.
So, yeah, I turned right at the last second, but I turned.
THEY LAUGH Thank you.
This is probably the confidence boost that you needed.
And I can only imagine what you're feeling.
I didn't have the confidence that you have at 16
to apply for a show like this, so I wanted to press my button
and give you the opportunity that you deserve.
Thank you. APPLAUSE
I wanna salute your bravery in coming down here at 16 years old,
fearless, controlling your anxiety,
really just living your passion for singing.
There were some nerves.
That's obvious for a 16-year-old stepping on stage
in front of an awesome audience like we have tonight, but...
conquering your anxiety and your nerves
got you three freakin' turns.
It's Olly, Sir Tom Jones and Anne-Marie.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.
And now...
...it's time for them to pitch to see who you're going to pick.
I'm still trying to, like, actually realise that this is real.
AUDIENCE: Aw.
HE CHUCKLES
TOM: I loved it. I'll do everything I can for you.
Tom Jones, he's number one, 81.
HE LAUGHS
APPLAUSE
I would love to coach you.
I think I can bring that confidence and give you that encouragement,
and I would love to see you flourish in this competition.
And who knows? See you in the final. You know, that would be great.
Two-time champion Olly Murs!
He said you could go to the finals if you on his team.
Yo, he's taken people to the freakin' finals
and won two times, two years.
Olly freakin' Murs.
Yeah, but who won the last... one?
Yeah, me. SHE LAUGHS
Reigning champion right here. She got the crown.
This is Anne-Marie. TOM: Yeah.
Look, well, I'd love you to be on my team.
I think that you are great already.
I wanna help build you up and feel confident enough
to never feel that anxiety when you walk on the stage,
and just go for it. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Did you hear that?
Anne-Marie's gonna pick you up. SHE LAUGHS
Now, who are you going to decide to be your coach?
Um...
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
You're my team! You're my team! Come on.

Hi, my name's Anthony Hughes, I'm 29, and I live in London.

I liked attention, I liked to perform in front of people a lot.
Oh, Anthony, you deserve this. He does.

It's just Anthony.

MUSIC: 'Fight For Ya' by Niklas Edberger
I've had, like, various jobs to pay for my music career.
At the moment, I work front of house in a gym,
and I worked as a professional dancer for a few years.
I danced for, like, Jessie j, Taio Cruz, Fat boy Slim.
# Gotta move on... #
But then, I decided to make the change.
I wanna be the one who's holding the mic.
# Can you feel the change Coming closer, closer... #
I do gigs here and there,
I perform at corporate events in bars, in clubs.
Anywhere where I can get a mic and get on stage, I'll do the gig.
# I'll never give up on ya! #
MUSIC: 'Fragile' by Kygo and Labrinth
I can't wait for my Blind Audition today.
I absolutely love performing. I feel completely alive when I'm on stage.
I've worked very hard my whole life for an opportunity like this.
It's everything he's ever dreamed of.
I'll be getting a bit upset, but...
he deserves it. He's good.
I've clone gigs here and there and everywhere,
but I feel like this is the moment that I've been waiting
to show the whole world who I am as a singer-songwriter.
# Ooh, yeah
# Oh, yeah
# Oh... #
I'm gonna go out there today and sing my heart out.
I wanna be myself, I wanna be proud of myself,
and I wanna get one of those coaches to turn for me.
# Oh, yeah... #

MUSIC: 'Deepest Lonely' by Birdy
# Why don't we waste Another day
# Staring out my window
# At the morning rain? #
WOW!
W|LL.|.AM: He did so good.
# When there's dark clouds
# Overhead... #
Always feel so bad. Yeah.
I did feel like I gave it my all, and it's just one of those things.
I feel like it just wasn't meant to be.
He was good, though. Fair play.
He was. And he had some nice phrasing.
Oh, God, come here! Oh, you did so good.
Oh, Anthony! Oh!
'It is disappointing, but it's just one of those things.
'It just wasn't meant to be today.'
He's got a great voice,
but if you're gonna sing a song like that with such tempo,
I'd expect people to be dancing and up on their feet,
and I only had half the audience doing that,
so it kind of swayed for me.
Maybe they're just chilling for a minute!
MUSIC: 'Hey Brother' by Avicii
Totally unprepared for this.
# What if I'm far from home... #
My name's Tom, I'm 33, from Norfolk but now live in London.
# There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do... #
'I've been working as a sound engineer for about ten years now,
'and singing for my whole life.'
It's a safe space for me to sing.
It's sort of just is part of just how I am.
Tom is a hugely talented,
very kind, very deep man.
The Voice, it gives him an opportunity to sing his heart out,
which is what he really loves to do.
You nervous? Erm... a little bit.
I tend to get very polite when I'm nervous.
But I might also just, like, totally freeze up.
Whatever happens, I think you can be very proud of yourself. Thanks.
MUSIC: 'Champions' by James Blunt
'I never thought that I would be here.
'There's something inside of me just said
'that I should just give it a go.'
See what happens.
# So tell me what we're waiting for
# Cos we should lay it On the line... #
To go into a space where you're asking other people in public,
like, "what do you think?"
Is very much out of my comfort zone.
The fact is I'm just quite overwhelmed by the situation.
# We can be the champions We can own the night... #
Waiting to go on is the hardest bit, yeah.
Bit more nervous than I thought I would be.
I think my body's reacting unexpectedly.
# It's time to let The whole world know... #
On you go, good luck.
WHISPERS: Good luck.
It is something that I don't want to be afraid of.
I don't want to say that I didn't do it
because I was scared of other people's thoughts and opinions.
# This could be The greatest moment of our lives. #
SONG: 'God Only Knows'

What?!
What's going on?!
WOW!
I knew he was playing the guitar!
What's your name? Where you from? Erm, Tom.
I live in London. I'm from Norfolk originally.
Well, listen, that... I'm... I can't believe no-one else turned.
I was kinda half expecting you to go, Tom.
Yeah, I almost went.
I was waiting for you to open up, you know,
because you did a lot of falsetto.
I thought "|f he goes into full voice,
"then I'm gonna hit my button."
But I really enjoyed it, though.
Wasn't that I didn't enjoy it. It was lovely.
APPLAUSE Thank you.
I feel the same as Tom.
I really enjoyed it, as well, and I was so close...
cos you have a purity to your voice.
Yeah, it was so lovely.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What I really liked about your performance
was how you reimagined the song. Mm.
I wish I could have a recording of that version,
cos it was really nice.
Ancl the only reason why I didn't turn
is because I thought maybe you reimagined the song so much
that you played your vocal performance safe.
I think it was absolutely stunning,
absolutely beautiful, the version that you just did. It was amazing.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I loved it.
Thank you.
There's not many people
that get a standing ovation from a crowd
by performing a song like that.
I can't wait to hear what you do next,
so thank you so much. Yeah.

SONG: 'Alll Need' by Tim Halperin
When you walk out on that stage,
I'm gonna be the proudest mum in the world.
I love you all.
Oh, there you are, love.
My mom is like my biggest hero and support,
so when I told her we were doing The Voice ten years ago,
she was just blown away, like, "What?! Sir Tom Jones?"
LAUGHTER "Well, I LOVE Tom Jones!"
My mum, she could come to The Voice, but...
I said she can't come any more. Why?
Cos last time she come here, she got a bit frisky with Tom.
She kissed me.
LAUGHTER
So she's banned from coming to The Voice now!
Yeah, so...
I mean, I love this. The whole situation is cool.
My name's Kira Mac, I'm 26, and I'm from Stoke-on-Trent.
I'm not so nervous, I'm excited.
Just pull yourself together now, you know it's good.
Today, I've got with me my mum, my clad and my nan.
I'm just really hoping my nan doesn't hit on Tom Jones!
Oh, my God...
You've worked all your life for it.
And how old are you? 20? 26.
Oh, yeah. 26, I forgot. THEY LAUGH
I work at doggy day-care, it's the best job EVER.
Look how cute that is.
I'm always singing to the clogs.
# Here is some poo bags Anybody want some treats? #
All the clogs are gonna be watching me today,
they're definitely backing me.
We've got Bella, Betty and Kaya.
Peanut the bulldog, Dave the greyhound.
They'll all be watching, they'll all be waiting for me to...
hopefully get a turn.
My first memories of singing are with my nan.
I used to take her out in my car, actually.
And I'd be driving, and she'd be singing.
I don't actually know who I want to turn round. What?
I don't know who I want to turn around.
She's deaf. She'd have the radio on in the car on, like, 55.
But we'd still sing over the radio.
She used to go... # A-when... #
Ancl I used to go... # When...
# Fall in love again... #
Ancl then I'd go, # Again. #
And it was lovely.
I was, like, four or five.
I'd just hope a bit of me rubbed off on her!
SHE CHUCKLES
Today is a really, really big deal.
Obviously, it's, like, opportunity of a lifetime.
I've been working in music for ten years.
I just haven't had that break.
# But if we're strong enough

I've been playing pubs and clubs and bars forever,

Aw, thank you so much. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Like Will said, it's pitch-perfect every time,

Thank you so much. Thank you.
Kira, what do you do for a job? I work at a doggy day-care.
Do you really? I pet clogs all clay.
They get their own peg to put their lead on.
When it's one of their birthdays, they get a cake,
they get party bags to take home. LAUGHTER
It's the best job ever. What's your favourite dog?
So, we have a bulldog, and she's called Peanut.
That's actually my nickname cos my head is so small.
LAUGHTER All right, Peanut?
Well, I just want to say I'm being super picky,
and I really feel like I'm gonna regret this moment
cos it was really, really great,
and I feel like a bit of an idiot right now.
Aw, thank you so much. APPLAUSE
I really liked it.
Your control was tremendous, your tone is really, really lovely.
You sound great. Aw, thank you.
