God!
WILL: 'I have very tough decisions to make.'
Darn it! I knew this moment was gonna come.
'Bring on the semi-final.'
# This is The Voice! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome, one and all, to The Voice.
It is the semi-final!
# Get, get ready Get, get ready... #
12 acts are still in the competition,
but by the end of the night, only four will remain.
It is gonna be a night of electric performances,
high drama and big decisions,
and making those decisions are our four sensational superstars.
Our coaches'. Whoa'.!
Sir Tom Jones! Yeah!
AUDIENCE CHEER
Anne-Marie! Yes!
# Get, get ready It's coming, coming... #
Woo-hoe'. Guy Murs'.!
What's happening? Whoo!
# Get, get ready... #
Will.i.am!
THEY CHEER Our coaches, everyone!
# Get, get ready Oh, oh, oh, oh
# Get, get ready... #
All right, coaches! Hi, Ems!
Woo-hoo! Big night. Semi-finals.
I know! It's gonna be a great night I think.
Yeah? Tonight, though, three down to one.
It's gonna be really hard, because we've got to know them.
They're amazing, so, yeah,
I'm looking forward to hearing what the coaches think of my team... Yep.
...and hopefully I can get some great advice and some help... Yep.
...and of course, the amazing audience as well.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Anne-Marie, we have to talk about that dress.
I know. I love it.
AUDIENCE: Whoo!
You look beautiful and... Thanks. ..a little bit like a sweet.
That's what I want people to feel when they look at me. Yeah?
LAUGHTER
OK, so, no time to catch your breath,
because we are cracking straight on with the show,
and first up, it is Team Olly!
Whoo! Let's go!
# Now I know how to Now I know how to fly... #
Welcome to the semi-final.
Thank you. Thanks for picking me to be here.
Absolute hon our to have you here, Shaka.
To be in the semi-final, I... am over the moon.
So, obviously at the Blinds, I was the only one that turned for you.
Mm-hm.
# Tell me, tell me ls life just a playground...? #
During the Blinds,
I had no idea that anyone had turned until the end.
# Good luck, good luck... #
With my visual impairment, I couldn't see anything...
# Good luck, good luck! # AUDIENCE CHEERS
...and then I finished my number,
and I realised there was, like, two white lines.
I was like, "Hoss!"
I have nystagmus, which means I have unfocused and shaky vision.
So, from when I was young, they basically was like,
"Shouldn't really be performing. Shouldn't be around lights."
So I literally just kept performing
and figuring out ways on how to work my way around a stage.
She's a real inspiration to people out there
that have got, you know, visual impairment
and that have been told they can't do something,
cos she's proving that you can.
# Oh, give me faith
# When the walls all close... #
The song that I picked for the semi-final for you
is Take My Breath, The Weeknd.
OK... At first, I was just like, "OK..."
You know when you're, like, smiling, but you're like, "A-ha, ha..."?
Not what I was expecting. I'm trusting Olly.
It's very...
easy for me to pick a soul song for you...
Yeah. ..but what's not obvious is to give a...
modern song that you can make your own.
PIANO PLAYS
# I saw the fire When I look into your eyes... #
With this song, I am nervous.
But this is the semi-final.
This is the time to take on any challenges.
She's ready, and she's fighting for that place in the final.
# I won't let you down... #
In the past, she's over-sung,
she's lost breath because she's got too excited,
so I need her to be a bit more calmer, bit more cooler,
but will it be enough to make it into the final?
I know you've got so much energy. Yeah.
We don't want you to go too crazy. Yep.
Just calm, cool,
and then bring the fire when you come out on Saturday.
Right. Will do.
'Doing this performance gives me the opportunity
'to show everybody, look what I CAN do.'
They was like, "Maybe she shouldn't perform.
"Maybe she shouldn't be around lights."
Baby, I am the light.
IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE: That was so cringeworthy,
I can't cope with myself.
# I give you my courage... #
Singing for a place in the final, it's Shaka!
CHEERING Wow!
SHE SCREAMS
SONG: 'Take My Breath'
# I saw the fire in your eyes
# I saw the fire When I look into your eyes
# Tell me things you wanna try Oh, yeah
# I know temptation ls the devil in disguise
# You risk it all to feel alive
# You're offering yourself to me Like sacrifice
# Say that you do this all the time
# Tell me you love me Then you bring me to the light
# It's like a dream When he's here with me
# He loves to be on the edge
# His fantasy is OK with me
# Then suddenly, baby says
# Take my breath away
# Ancl make it last forever, babe
# Do it now or never, baby
# Take my breath away
# Nobody does it better, babe
# Bring me close to heaven, baby
# Take my breath... #
SHE VOCAUSES
# Oh, yeah... #
SHE VOCAUSES
# Take my breath Away
# Ancl make it last forever, baby
# Take my breath
# Take my breath away, yeah
# Bring me close to heaven, baby
# Take my breath. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, Shaka!
Go on, Shaka! Boom.
They thought my shoulders were big.
AUDIENCE LAUGHS They're amazing!
Sculpted!
Will. That was powerful.
Even the way you were stomping and singing
and walking and owning the stage.
You gave me, uh, Tina vibes...
AUDIENCE: Whoo! ..and that's a lot.
People don't throw around Tina easily.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Tom. Well, it sounded perfect for you.
I mean, it... it sounded, like, to me, very natural. Yeah.
It was like something you would sing. I loved it.
SHE EXCLAIMS Thank you!
Anne-Marie, what did you think? Wow, so cool.
What an opening to the show. I loved it.
I can hear your voice on, like, a house record.
It was wicked. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Ow-.
That was fantastic! That was...
Yay! ..everything I wanted.
We spoke, obviously, in rehearsals about just controlling your energy.
You controlled it tonight.
It was slick, it was smooth, it was cool. Well done.
APPLAUSE
Remember, after Olly has seen all three of his singers tonight,
he will choose just one of them to go through to the final.
For now, though, please give it up for Shaka.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That performance was everything that I wanted it to be.
I've clone everything that I can, and now it's all in Olly's hands.
Whoo! Yeah, it was great, that.
Good start. Happy with that... Yeah. ..and now we've got David.
Soul singer, right?
Yeah, I blocked you, Sir Tom, for David.
He's unbelievable, so it was a good block.
LAUGHTER It was a good one.
Yeah, it was a good block. I know that.
When I heard him, I thought, "You..."
LAUGHTER
Being a semi-finalist on The Voice, being that I'm only 20
and I'm just a student, it's just surreal, like.
# I feel love... #
I think David has progressed so well in this competition
from the Blind Audition...
HE VOCAUSES
...to the callbacks.
# Every promise... #
His voice is so incredible. You're just in it with him.
DAVID VOCALISES
He deserves his place at the semi-finals.
So, the song that I've picked for you the semi-finals
is Adele, Easy On Me.
HE EXHALES A big song by an incredible artist.
Yeah. A voice of our generation.
Yeah. Way to make me feel like...
THEY LAUGH I know that!
But I have every faith in you.
# There ain't no gold
# In this river. #
The fact that I'm singing Adele, I can't lie,
how the heck am I gonna be able to deliver it?
David's got a huge challenge ahead of him,
because this song, not only the vocal,
but it's the emotion. Ancl right now, I'm not feeling that.
It is hard for you with this song, you gotta look at the lyrics
and try and find something that you can connect with.
Yeah. It's just the feel of the song.
It's not necessarily the meaning of it.
No, 100%. It is. The feel.
'I need to really look at how Adele conveys her emotion in her song
'and find myself in the song.
'The last year has been so hard.
'I've been juggling my uni work, music, mental health, my anxiety.'
No-one ever tells you that life is gonna really present you
with some trying seasons, like, and I just wanna communicate that.
'If I don't build that connection,
'I feel like I won't get into the final,
'and I can't go home now.'
APPLAUSE
Giving it everything for a place in the final,
it's David Adeogun.
CHEERING
SONG: 'Easy On Me'
# There ain't no gold
# In this river
# That I been washin' my hands in Forever... #
APPLAUSE
# I know there is hope
# In these waters
# But I can't bring myself to swim
# When I am drowning in this silence
# Baby, let me i-i-in
# Go e-e-easy on me, baby
# Had no time to choose
# What I chose to do-o-o
# Oh, I had good intentions
# Ancl the hi-i-ighest hopes
# But I know right now
# It probably doesn't Even sho-o-ow... #
APPLAUSE
# Go e-e-easy on me, baby
# I was still a child
# Didn't get the chance to
# Fe-e-e-el the world around me
# I had no time to choose
# What I chose to do-o-o
# So go easy on me-e-e. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, he's crying!
# Wild and running
# Fearlessness ls burning bright... #
We love you!
# Out of sight, out of mind... #
Anne-Marie? I forgot that that was an Adele moment, to be honest.
I just heard this new version of this song.
APPLAUSE
You're the kind of singer that I love, you know?
You got into that song.
That is a big, important thing,
for any singer to get across the emotion of a song,
and you just did exactly that. I loved it.
APPLAUSE Thank you.
It was fantastic. Everything I wanted from that, you delivered.
My heart is still like... Dum, dum.
For you to come up here and do what you just did,
it's pretty awesome, man. Ancl that was fantastic.
Thank you so much, man.
APPLAUSE That was, like...
graceful, tasteful, non-replaceable.
OK! LAUGHTER
It was hypnotic. Thank you, man.
I know Oily just touched on the emotion
that you conveyed during the performance,
but you were super emotional afterwards.
Whenever I think of that song, I really wanted to communicate...
I can really understand when Adele feels so lost, especially...
This time last year was so hard for me.
So... Sorry. Sorry.
APPLAUSE
# When the lights go up I don't think I told you... #
Please make some noise for the brilliant David.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm not gonna forget that, ever.
Olly's only got one space,
and I hope that I've clone enough to earn my place in the final.
Wow. Incredible.
He is unbelievable.
Welcome back to the semi-final of The Voice.
All of tonight's singers want a place in next week's final,
and that decision is in the very capable hands of our coaches,
who can only choose one of their three semi-finalists to go through.
And next up, it is the last of Team Olly's acts.
This is Marc Halls.
APPLAUSE Come on, Marcy!
Hey! Good to see you, mate. We'll do a virtual one of them.
Boom. Boom. We're here at the semi-finals.
I know. I'm excited.
# But I never felt this way For no-one. #
I think Mark stands out in this competition
because he's just got a really unique tone of voice.
# I really need you tonight. #
'But it was neck and neck at the callbacks.
'Just at the last moment, I saw something.'
HE VOCALISES When he hit that big note,
me and James Arthur where like, "He's through."
It's the semi-final, so it's about picking the right song for you,
and I wanted to make sure that we went big,
so the song that I've picked for you is Sia, Chandelier.
There is an option for you to play the guitar, but it's up to you.
# I-I'm gonna live... #
It's a big song by an incredible female singer.
'This one's gonna be extra tricky.'
# This is heaven, yeah! #
There's some big notes in this song,
so it's really important that I smash them notes,
or else, you know, I'll probably be going home.
# From the chandelie-e-er... #
In them high notes, feel a bit more, like, oomph.
It's almost like making sure you've got enough breath
in your diaphragm and your stomach to support them notes, really. Yeah.
He's got to find them moments to take a breath and hit them notes,
cos if he doesn't, it could sound awful.
He's singing Sia, Chandelier. It's a massive song.
Wait, is that the song he's singing?
W|LL.|.AM: Sia, Chandelier? Yeah!
This is a big song and there's a lot of pressure to,
you know, try to do it proud.
I can't afford to make a mistake at this point.
I'm one song away from being in the final,
so I've just gotta give it everything.
Singing to secure his place in the final, it's Marc Halls.
SONG: 'Chandelier'
# Party girls don't get hurt
# Can't feel anything When will I learn?
# I push it down Push it do-o-own
# I'm the one For a "good time call"
# Phone's blowin' up Ringin' my doorbell
# I feel the love Feel the lo-o-ove
# One, two, three One, two, three, drink

# I'm just holding on for tonight. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Days like these... #
Thank you. Thank you.
# Nights like this... #
Tom, what did you think?
That was really interesting.
I was intrigued with it and you starting to go up,
lthought "Good God, is he gonna get there?"
And you did. I loved it. I love what you did with that song.
Thank you. You did a great job.
APPLAUSE WM?
I salute your bravery. It was super brave to take on that song.
I wish it was one semitone lower.
I think you would have resonated with it.
I agree, but I also am really impressed
with how you reached that in your chest voice.
And at the end when it all dropped down a bit,
I felt like I was in a stadium watching an artist.
TOM: The light and shade of it was lovely. Yeah.
It was really cool. Thank you so much. Thank you.
APPLAUSE mm?
What I love about you, Marc,
is you love a challenge and you love a fight.
And I think that was a great performance, I really do.
I think everything we spoke about you delivered.
You know, because when you hit them high notes, it's really up there.
I had a great time. You did a great job!
Thank you so much, guys. Thank you. APPLAUSE
Let's hear it for Marc, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
'I really enjoyed the performance. I'm up against Shaka and David.'
It's down to Olly now to sort of put through who he feels delivered,
and you know, a place in the final would just be astounding.
APPLAUSE They gave their all,
but unfortunately they can't all go to the final,
so let's welcome them back. Shaka, David, and Marc.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Shaka!
APPLAUSE CONTINUES
So, Olly, as you know,
you can only take one of these three through to the final.
How are you feeling now you can see them all stood here together?
I just wanna say, from the bottom of my heart,
you've been absolutely incredible to work with.
I remember what it's like to be on that stage.
I know how nervous you're all now.
I couldn't have wished for a better three for a semi-final, you know?
Honestly, you've clone three incredible performances,
so, honestly, you should give yourself a round of applause.
It was fantastic. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah, I... I hate doing this. I really do.
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
Olly, it is time for you to make your decision.
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT NAMES God!
OK, OK, OK. Erm...
I have made my decision.
One person shined for me just that little bit more...
# I wanna have it all with you... #
...and that's David. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I wanna have it all Yeah, wanna it... #
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
David, you are in the final. How does that sound?
Mad. I'm in the final, you know? You're in the final!
David, everyone. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
One of the finalists for The Voice 2022.
I cannot even believe, like...
HE SIGHS Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Have you enjoyed it, Shaka? I've loved every moment of this.
Just to be able to show me as an artist,
not just the girl who's part of the show. Yeah.
I get to be my own show. You get to be you.
APPLAUSE And Marc?
It's been awesome. I'm coming out of this a better singer for it
and a better artist for it,
so I thank you guys so much for that.
APPLAUSE
Please put your hands together for Shaka and Marc.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
'I truthfully don't think there's more that I could have done.'
I'm literally just so happy that I've had the opportunity to be here.
I got to the semi-final, which is an achievement. I feel proud.
'I've loved it, and it's been really cool.'
That was a good choice. Thank you, Will.
I'm so happy, and now I get to sit and watch your acts.
Yeah, now you can chill. Whoo!
So, one finalist in the bag, but we need three more,
so let's crack on with Team Anne-Marie.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# After all the love has gone
# And we're left on our own
# It's OK Cos life keeps going on... #
The semi-final is gonna be massive.
And tonight, from Team Anne-Marie,
we have Kai, Mark and Triniboi joocie.
Whoo!
At the semi-finals, it's very important for me to get my identity.
I'm not only being an artist,
but being a teacher, being a role model,
and the cultural background that I represent, you know.
'I'm gonna enjoy every moment of it.'
Every time you perform, I think you make so many people happy.
That's what it's all about.
# Cos it could be water
# It could be rum... #
Triniboi's Blind Audition had so much energy.
# It could be water What we ea yin'...? #
And then in the callbacks, he bought a different side of him out.
# Let me see you wine and go down
# Me say wine Me say wine and go down, me say... #
He stepped up even more.
# Wine and go down, me say wine Me say wine and go down... #
And now the semi-final, I'm really excited about it.
When I was trying to decide what song for you to sing,
because you're so good at everything,
I would love for you to do one of your own.
What?! THEY LAUGH
I feel honoured, you know,
that Anne-Marie has given me one of my own songs.
I want you to show off.
You're so good that you can't hide anything,
you've just gotta go for it.
I'm singing a song called Obeyah.
The song is about connection.
You know, being connected to something and you don't know why.
You're doing whatever it takes to go away from it,
but it keeps drawing you back in. That's what it's about.
# Obeyah, obeyah-yah... #
This song is so fun, and you are so fun.
I want you to come on and everyone just be like, "Wanna get up."
Feeling vulnerable cos I know what I have to do, but I'm ready.
Ancl hopefully, it's enough to get me through to the final.
Performing his own song is a really scary thing,
but, honestly, by the time this song is over,
you won't get it out of your head. # My heart goes... #
I've put my heart, sweat, blood, tears into this art form,
into being an artist.
I cannot afford to make a mistake.
I am ready to earn a place in the final.
# I do what I got to To feel you with me... #
Hoping his voice will take him to the final, it's Triniboi joocie.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# My heart goes... #
Whoo! # La di da, da di da
# My heart goes. #
Yeah!
WHISTLING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Obeyah'

# Obeyah, eh

# I just put on my hand on my head And follow
# Eh, eh

# Yeah, me sing obeyah-yah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Our dreams come alive... #
Triniboi joocie!
How was that?
Good, good. Everybody at the front was up on their feet.
That was an original song from Triniboi.
Wait! That's your song?! Yeah! It's my song.
That's a different level of salute, bro.
WHISTLING AND APPLAUSE
Can I just ask, what does obeyah mean?
So, obeyah's like, it's a feeling, it's an emotion, you know.
It's like you've tried to walk away from something
and it keeps drawing you back. Love it.
Great performance, well clone. Fantastic. Thank you.
Er, Will, what did you think?
Man, that energy is the energy that I needed.
Thank you for that, that is awesome. CHEERING
Thank you. Thank you.
Tom. Where are you from?
Originally, Trinidad and Tobago.
Trinidad I thought, cos your name, "Trini".
After seeing you and listening to you, I wanna go there.
To do an original song at the semi-final is a massive risk,
but, wow, what a risk to take.
That was a brilliant song. I just absolutely love that energy.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Brilliant.
Anne-Marie. Well... It was brilliant.
I think it completely represented who you are in that one performance.
It got everyone up on their feet.
One more time for Triniboi.
Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Come alive, alive, alive
# Alive... #
I love him!
He believes in what he does, you can see that.
Yeah, it's a really good song. Yeah.
The performance went exactly to plan, I am happy.
All four coaches was up there waving, dancing,
enjoying themselves, and that's what I came here to do.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to The Voice. It is the semi-final.
Currently, Anne-Marie has two more acts to see,
and next up, it's Mark Howard.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Hello! Hi!
How are you feeling about everything?
It's getting better... Yeah.
...but I'm trying to be more excited than petrified.
MARK LAUGHS Yeah.
I can't talk.
'Nerves has been something which I'm working on.'
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Oh, when I close my eyes
# Oh, oh... #
'There's not been a round yet where I've not cried.'
HE CHUCKLES
# Ancl now I'm better off Without you... #
The person that I'm putting through is...
Mark.
Mark's never had a lot of confidence in his abilities,
so watching Mark on The Voice stage, for us, it's a dream come true.
The song that you're gonna be singing is Half A Man by Dean Lewis.
Ah, I love that song. Yes. Love it.
# Cos I'm a sinking ship That's burning
# So let go of my hand... #
It was very tough picking a song for him
because I know he can sing everything brilliantly.
But this one gives him the chance to show us his range and his emotion.
This song is a lot of up and down, so it just feels right.
I mean, what...
I don't have to do anything. MARK LAUGHS
'All he has to work on is his nerves, really.'
'Being at this level of The Voice,
'it's not something I ever expected to experience.'
It's so different from my day-to-day life
of showing people round houses, doing valuations, and then, today,
I'm just one performance away from the final.
It sounds perfect,
but you don't want to be too perfect.
You don't want to lose the connection.
Well, I'll probably end up crying on the clay anyway, so... Yeah, true!
Maybe I should say, "Stay professional!"
There's definitely always gonna be nerves there,
but hopefully, I can just control them more.
# You got that power over me... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
# You got that power over me... #
'I've got to go out there and just give the performance of my life.'
# Ooh, ooh. #
SONG: 'Half A Man'
# I was wrong to say I loved her
# I was wrong to think I'm right
# When I told her it was over
# My darling, I had lied
# Ancl I've been running From my demons
# Afraid to look behind
# Ancl I've been running from myself
# Afraid of what I'd find
# But how am I supposed to love you
# When I don't love who I am?
# Ancl how could I give you all of me
# When I'm only half a man?
# Cos I'm a sinking ship That's burning
# So let go of my hand
# Ancl how can I give you all of me
# When I'm only half a man?
# Oh, no-one
# Can ever hurt me
# Like I hurt myself
# Cos I'm made out of stone
# And I'm beyond he“:
# Don't give your heart
#To me
# How am I supposed to love you
# When I don't love who I am?
# Ancl how can I give you all of me
# When I'm only half a man?

HE VOCAUSES
# How can I give you all of me

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I'm not givin' up
# I'm not givin' up, givin' up No, not yet... #
Mark, everybody!
# Even when I'm down To my last breath... #
ow-.
Do you know what, Mark?
I just think you've got such an incredible voice.
Your range, your control, no nerves at all.
I mean, did you feel nervous?
No, I think one of the things that I've had to take from the process
is just believing in myself cos,
obviously, the Blinds nearly didn't happen for me.
Wow. Well, I'm so glad you did.
You did a great job. Thank you so much.
Honestly, well clone.
Tom.
Yeah, you sell many houses? The ones that I list, oh, yeah.
Oh, good, cos if you can sell houses as well as you can sing,
you should be selling streets of houses.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
It was perfect, really.
Ancl I think what you've clone since the Blinds
is really find your own voice.
And, yeah, I just loved it. Well clone.
Thank you. Put your hands together for Mark.
Thank you.
APPLAUSE
# Even when I'm down To my last breath
# Even when you say There's nothing left... #
Oh, son! I'm so... SHE SQUEALS
Oh, I'm so proud of you. Brilliant. Well...
'It doesn't feel real.'
I'm this close to the final, like, it's just there.
'I'm not ready for this dream to end.'
OLLY: Who's next?
Kai Benjamin's next. He got a four-chair turn as well.
Yeah, he was sick!
Hey, how's it going?
Nice to see you again. It's good to see you too.
I'm absolutely buzzing to be in the semi-final.
This time last week, I sat in my psychology lecture
and now, I'm, you know, sat here doing an interview for The Voice.
Stuff's weird.
RAPS: I'm a little guy with a bigger dream, vividly
Burst on the scene with the energy Well, I need...
'The call-backs were a complete dream.'
Performing to MNEK and Anne-Marie, crazy.
RAPS: Like a jack in the...
jun ken poi achimuite hoi Kono sosu shoi...
'He shone for me.'
Ancl the fact that he raps in Japanese as well is very exciting.
My third semi-finalist is...
Kai.
APPLAUSE
When I told my family that I was through to the semi-final,
it wasn't really words,
it was more like... HE SCREAMS
It was just like screaming.
'Watching Kai perform is a real inspiration.'
We're all proud of him, and we're all behind him.
The song that I want you to sing is Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Are you happy? Absolutely.
# City's breaking down On a camel's back
# They just have to go Cos they don't know whack... #
OK, so, I think you should do it more like the record.
But with practice, it's gonna be great.
A rig a to gozaimasu.
THEY LAUGH
'I wanna be as confident when I sing as I am when I rap.
'It's gotta be a perfect performance.'
Kai had improved so much since the piano routining.
But for the actual performance, he can go for it even more.
'A place in the final would mean the world.'
It sounds cliche,
but music is what I wanna do for the rest of my life.
# Sometimes All I think about is you... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Woo-hoo!
'I really don't wanna go home. I wanna complete the journey.'
SONG: 'Feel Good Inc'
# Sha-ca, sha-ca Sha-ca, sha-ca
# City's breaking down On a camel's back... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # They just have to go
# Cos they don't know whack
# So while you fill the streets It's appealing to see
# You won't get out the county, Cos you're damned and free
# Windmill, windmill for the land
# Turn forever hand-in-hand
# Take it all there on your stride
# It is ticking, falling down
# Love forever, love is freely
# Turned forever, you and me
# Windmill, windmill for the land ls everybody in...? #
Woo!
HE RAPS: Listen, yo

Steady, watch me navigate Guru, guru pa!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Maybe you could sing it with me
# Do-do, do-do-do Do-do-do, do-do-do... #
Thank you.
Kai, everyone!
Ow-.
The second part was brilliant. Thank you.
For me, that was when I really saw who you are as an artist.
APPLAUSE Thank you so much.
How old are you? 19.
Yeah, yeah, hai.
Oh, wow. That's cool. Super young.
Yeah, you speak really good Japanese.
Man of many talents, you, Will.
No, just dated a lot of international girls.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
I felt like I was at Glastonbury
because you have that non conventional pop,
where the whole world is just waiting for you
to write that one record that'll just set you off.
APPLAUSE Thank you so much.
Anne-Marie.
Oh, I loved it.
I feel like you come into your own in the second half.
I can't wait for you to have that moment
where everyone can just see you perform on stage as YOU.
And, yeah, I just... I wanna say a rig a to gozaimasu.
A rig a to gozaimasu.
APPLAUSE
Thank you so much, Kai. Give it up for Kai, everybody.
Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So cute! Yeah, he's cool.
'I'm just hoping and praying that Anne-Marie picks me
'to go through to the final.'
I've just got to wait and see.
Argh! HE LAUGHS
See, this is the problem I have.
I have Triniboi for, like, how he makes people feel.
Kai Benjamin is like the artist that I could see myself writing with.
Yeah.
And, then, Mark is the powerful singer. Yeah.
TOM: Which way do you go? What's your gut telling you?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to a very tense semi-final of The Voice.
Anne-Marie's three acts have all performed
and are about to find out which of them
will be going through to the finals, so please, let's welcome them back.
Triniboi, Kai, and Mark.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I'm holding on... #
Kai!
# And on, and on
# Oh, you know when you're alone
# I'm holding on, and on... #
They're off already!
THEY SHOUT NAMES, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Anne-Marie...
Three very different performers. What is going through your head?
That's the difficult thing, I think.
I'm like, I'm weaving in and out, and I'm asking everyone,
and I'm really struggling to know what is best for this competition.
AUDIENCE SHOUT NAMES
Anne-Marie, I'm gonna have to ask you to make that decision.
Beyond what my decision is, the other two people,
I want to be able to watch your journey
and work with you and help you.
No matter what happens.
But I think for the competition right now,
and who you're gonna be up against,
I'm going to put through Mark.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Strangers in your head
# And if you don't remember... #
Thank you so much.
Mark, you're a finalist. I know, I can't believe it.
I really, really appreciate it.
I feel like this round was the first round where I enjoyed it.
I definitely feel like I'm believing in myself more.
So thank you so much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I think that's my mum.
Mark, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Strangers in your head
# And if you don't remember... #
I'm in the final. I can't believe it. It's a shock.
Thank you so much for taking part.
Put your hands together for Kai and Triniboi.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# It's only been a moment... #
For me, it's been an amazing journey.
Ancl my congratulations to Mark. His voice is amazing.
I'm feeling good. Did everything I could do.
There's gonna be some huge voices in that final.
Ancl I think Mark well and truly deserves his place there.
Amazing you've got a guy in Mark, estate agent,
and here you are, giving him his this amazing journey.
I'm happy for Mark,
but I'm really sad
cos I feel like we are losing two people who bring so much.
Oh, I'm so proud of you. Well...
I was crying, I was screaming and everything.
You make me so happy!
Next up tonight, it is Team Will.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
# Maybe we could be like the others They know how to have fun. #
We have Noeva, Rain, and Naomi.
The competition is really hot,
and this is when we start sweating.
Bringing the rain for Team Will is Rain.
What's up?
The fact that I am one round away from the final
is... boom!
Are you excited? Yeah, I'm excited.
# Sometimes, you love too hard
# Sometimes you go too far... #
I didn't think I'd get to this point ever, ever, ever.
# Da-da-da-da-da. #
APPLAUSE
I'm just a normal girl from Liverpool.
# I gave you my heart... #
At the callbacks, Rain brought it.
# Then you call, I decline. #
I cannot believe that I genuinely made it through.
Like, I feel like the luckiest girl ever.
This whole process, I want them to pick the song.
You know what song you're gonna sing?
Sorry by just in Bieber.
Dope.
# Is it too late now to say sorry? #
Ancl you're gonna write, you're gonna write your rhyme? Yeah.
Dope.
I would like to show a bit of dancing.
You're gonna sing, you're gonna rhyme, ancl you're gonna dance?
Yeah.
Rain is like, "Yo, |'mma write my own rap,
"and |'mma do my own choreography,
"|'mma sing the hell out of this song."
Am I impressed? Are YOU impressed?
# Give it all you got Give it all you got... #
'I've got a lot going on in this performance.'
# Give it all you got... #
'But I want to be able to show full potential of what I can do.'
So I need to be absolutely on point in order to go to the next round.
After you do that move there... Yeah?
...just be mindful of your intonation,
cos you fell flat at the same place on both times. Yeah, yeah.
# Gonna give it, gonna give it Gonna give it all... #
It would just mean the world to me
if he picked me to take me to the final.
# Gonna give it Gonna give it all... #
Everybody at home right now, while you're sitting in your couch,
whip out your umbrella, cos it's about to Rain.
# Gonna give it all. #
APPLAUSE
Singing to represent Team Will in the final, it's Rain!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
SONG: 'Sorry'
# You gotta go and get angry At all of my honesty
# You know I try but I don't do Too well with apologies
# I hope I don't run out of time Can someone call a referee?
# Cos I just need one more shot At forgiveness
# Is it too late now to say sorry?
# Cos I'm missing more Than just your body
# No, n0, I10, "0

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Whoo!
Rain, everyone!
# It's a good day for dreaming... #
Olly, let's start with you.
I don't think there was a part of that stage you didn't dance into.
You was everywhere, and I loved that energy.
Thank you, thank you so much. APPLAUSE
Anne-Marie?
That performance really excited me
to who you are going to be as an artist.
Thank you. I think you're brilliant.
Thank you, thank you. Tom?
The whole package was great.
What you did was great, the song was great,
the whole thing, everything. Thank you, I appreciate it so much.
Really lovely.
Will?
You have this dynamic ability to perform, sing, and you love it,
and you can see it, and you're shining
and radiating, and it's magnetic.
You're doing you, you're making it Rain. Pow!
Thank you.
Ancl during rehearsal,
I was like, "Yo, watch out on the flatness when you, like, move,"
and you did that. You should be proud.
Thank you, thank you.
How did it feel for you, Rain? You look like you love it up here.
I love it. You look very comfortable up here.
Thank you. Rain, everybody.
APPLAUSE
# It's a good day for dreaming... #
I loved that so much. Like a little pocket rocket.
A producer and a label, they want that. Yeah.
She ticks all the boxes. Yeah.
My performance couldn't have been any better.
I am... buzzing! I am buzzing with it!
# Good day for dreaming. #
Two more singers still to go from Team Will,
and next up, it's Noeva.
APPLAUSE Noeva!
'Sup, Noeva? Hi, how are you? How are you?
I'm good, thank you. How are you? I'm super.
I'm so excited to be in the semi-final. Still in shock.
Your performance the other night was spectacular.
Thank you so much.
Noeva's callback was superb.
SHE SINGS SOULFULLY
She did something that no-one had the courage to do,
and that is to really turn the song inside-out in front of the artist,
and deliver.
POWERFUL DESCENDING NOTE
I really genuinely didn't expect him to pick me.
Noeva.
# I came here for love... #
It really made my clay.
My week, my month, my everything! SHE CH UCKLES
When you're a mum and you're trying to pursue your career,
sometimes, people think you can't do the two,
and I really want to prove that you can.
Thank you for coming on the show
and pushing your dream through.
What song are you gonna sing?
The Scientist by Cold play. Wow.
Can't wait to hear that.
# Nobody said it was easy... #
Noeva is somebody who's an introvert socially,
but an extrovert musically,
and that is always gonna be surprising,
because you don't know what they're feeling until they sing.
# ..the sta-a-art. #
I really, really want to impress Will.
I'm, like, such a critical person, so I've had moments where I'm like,
"Oh, don't like this bit, don't like that bit."
How do you feel about it? Erm...
I'm a bit hard on myself,
cos I'm trying to come with a powerful ending, with emotion.
'Noeva's in her head.
'Ancl when you're in your head, people can feel it.'
If she could channel in her stress,
and put it through the song, then it's a win-win.
'I'm one performance from the final,
'and I really, really want to get there.
'This is my chance to shine.'
Hoping that this performance gets her to the final,
it's Noeva! CHEERING
I feel like I've worked on my confidence,
and I really want to show Will what I'm capable of.
APPLAUSE
SONG: 'The Scientist'
# Come up to meet you
# Tell you I'm sorry
# You don't know how lovely you are
# Ancl I had to find you
# Tell you I need you
# Tell you I set you apart
# So tell me your secrets
# Ask me more questions
# Oh, let's go back to the start
# Running in circles
# Chasing our tails
# Heads on, a science apart
# Ancl nobody said it was easy
# It's such a shame for us to part
# Nobody said it was easy
# No-one ever said It would be this hard
# So take me back
# To the start
# Woo-ooh-ooh
# So take me back to the start
# Woo-ooh-ooh
# Yeah, yeah
# So take me back to
# The start. #
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Noeva, everybody!
Anne-Marie?
I thought it was really, really amazing.
Wow, thank you. Yeah.
I'm really proud of you. That was brave,
fearless,
and... uh! Solid.
Yeah. Thank you, Will.
Please show your appreciation one more time for Noeva.
Thank you.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Whoo!
OLLY: Well clone.
Wow. Crazy.
I literally gave it my all, and I really enjoyed it, actually.
To get to the next stage would be amazing.
I don't think she realises how good she is. No.
She's quite shy, I think. But actually, when she sings,
it's like, "Wow, who is this girl?"
That's how Mary] Blige is, though.
The shyness is for different reasons.
It's not like, "I'm shy because I'm a singer,
"I'm hiding my emotions inside..."
Yeah. "..and singing is where I let it out."
I'm most excited about her. Yeah.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Welcome back. We are arranging our line-up for the final.
Will has just one more act to see,
and then it is decision time.
So, this is Naomi johns on.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
NAOMI CHUCKLES
Hello. How are you?
Feeling a bit nervous. Why are you nervous?
I've gotten this far, I just want it to be as good, but better.
SINGS HIGH NOTE
On the Blind Audition, Naomi came with the whistle,
and she... dropped nukes.
SINGS HIGH NOTE
She sings tones that only clogs can hear.
I'm one of her clogs. Woof!
The singer I'm putting through to the semi-final,
Naomi.
# It's gonna be A good, good day... #
I can't believe that I'm actually singing in the semi-final.
I do loads of gigs, I do loads of weddings,
but, like, that's a different world.
# It's gonna be a good day... #
So, what song are you singing?
I'm gonna sing Bang Bang,
Jessie j, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.
Wait, wait, wait, so you're gonna do all three of their parts?
I'm gonna do a combination of all of them.
That's a combo. Mm-hm.
# She got a booty like a Cadillac
# But I can send you Into overdrive... #
I want to show off every aspect of my voice,
and everything I have or I can do, I need to put into this.
Great song choice for her,
but what she has to do
is bring HER.
I think I just need to really make it my own,
in terms of, like, not copying Jessie.
# I tell you all the things You should know... #
She can get up there,
she got Himalaya notes, you know what I'm saying?
HIGH NOTE
All my performances in the past
have just been weddings or corporate events.
Nothing compares to what I'm about to do.
'This, for me, is the last chance I've got to prove myself.'
Singing to be back next week in the final, it's Naomi johns on.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# When all is said and done You'll believe God is a woman
# God is a woman, yeah. #
SONG: 'Bang Bang'
# She got a body like an hourglass
# But I can give it to you All the time
# She got a booty like a Cadillac
# But |'mma send you into overdrive
# You've been waiting for that
# Step on up, swing your bat
# See, anybody could be bad to you
# You need a good girl To blow your mind
# Bang-bang into the room I know you want it
# Bang-bang all over you I'll let you have it
# Wait a minute Let me take you there
# Wait a minute till you, oh
# Bang-bang, there goes your heart I know you want it
# Back, back-seat of my car I'll let you have it
# Wait a minute Let me take you down
# Wait a minute till you, oh
# She might have let you Hold her hand at school
# |'mma show you how to graduate
# No, I don't need to hear you Talk the talk
# just come and show me What your mama gave you
#BtotheAtotheNtotheG
# Bto the A to the N totheG To the hey

SHE VOCALISES HIGH NOTES
# Wait a minute Let me take you there
# Wait a minute till you. #
HIGH NOTE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you, thank you.
# I've been waiting for a lifetime For you... #
Naomi, everybody!
Anne-Marie? What did you think?
I really enjoyed it.
I was waiting for those whistle notes, to be honest.
So when they came, I was like, "Yes!"
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Tom? You sound like a trained singer to me.
Thank you. You know what I mean?
You sound like a West End singer or somebody that'd be in a musical.
Thank you. No, but really. You have a tremendous instrument.
Olly? I commend anyone that tackles a song like that,
so, listen, you did a fantastic performance.
You walked the whole way down them stairs, so fair play to you.
Ancl you absolutely nailed it, so well clone. Thank you very much.
Will? Yeah, you have a real awesome instrument.
Thank you.
Everyone's comments were spot on to how I feel.
Super proud to have that level of talent on my team.
Thank you so much. Thank you, I appreciate that.
Naomi, did you enjoy it as much as it looked like you were enjoying it?
Yes. Yeah, I loved it. Great, well done. Naomi, everybody.
Thank you, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The performance was just, like, exhilarating.
But Will can only put through one singer.
Noeva and Rain were amazing.
I just... You know, fingers crossed for me.
Fingers crossed.
It seems like the tallest of orders, but somehow, Will now has to choose
just one of his acts to go through to his final,
so let's welcome them back, Rain, Noeva and Naomi.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# But if we're strong enough To let it in
# Mm-hm, mm-hm
# We're strong enough To let it go... #
So, Will, what goes through your head
when you see these three girls stood up here?
I'm sad that two of them are gonna go home.
I want them to know that I'm proud of them.
I'm so inspired by them.
I love each one of you guys equally.
Will, it's time for you to make your decision.
All right.
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
Will, can you give me the name of the singer
that you'd like to take through to the final?
OK, here's what's going on in my head.
Rain, you're freaking awesome.
I could work with you right now. I think your voice is, like, damn.
Noeva, you remind me of Mary] Blige, you're super quiet,
but then you get up on stage and you're, like, powerful.
Ancl then Naomi, you're just like electricity.
Your voice is, like, super sharp. It's like a blade.
That's why I'm confused.
So... All right...
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
I'm gonna go with... Naomi.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Naomi, congratulations.
How does it feel to know that you will be singing again in the final?
I've got no words at the moment.
Amazing. Scary. Erm...
Unreal. HAPPY?
Very, yes. Very happy, thank you.
Good. Congratulations. Naomi, everyone.
# I'm flying I'm flying like a cannonball
# Like a cannonball... #
I can't believe that I'm in the final. Wow!
Thank you so much for coming to the show.
Please put your hands together one more time for Rain and Noeva.
APPLAUSE
I had to go with my gut and what I know she's capable of.
Yeah, I know. She's got an incredible instrument.
Yeah. Oh, my God! Well done!
Right, does anyone know what time it is?
Time to get a watch. No.
Time for a Welsh cake? That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Wouldn't it. Hammer time!
Yes, will!
They're all great guesses, but they're all completely wrong.
It is competition time. Oh! Oh!
How would you like to win an amazing holiday home, courtesy of Haven,
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the semi-final of The Voice.
There are three pretty relaxed-looking coaches over there,
but one has it all ahead of them.
Can you guess who it is?
Yep, it is time for Team Tom.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Rachel. Sir Tom!
Yesterday, I was teaching long multiplication.
Today, I'm in the same room as Tom Jones.
Doesn't happen every clay, does it?
# Holy, Moses
# Let us live in peace... #
Rachel's callback performance was as good as the Blind Audition.
She took it to church.
SHE VOCAUSES
Being in the semi-final, I think it's boosted my confidence.
I'm still unbelievably shy and nervous,
but I think my confidence is growing, yeah, definitely.
So, the song I thought would be really good for you
was Anytime You Need A Friend by Mariah Carey.
Yeah!
Nice one. Yes? Yes.
I am singing a huge, huge song
and taking on one of the best singers in the world.
# I will be here... #
She's doing it almost in the same key as Mariah Carey,
which is very high.
So she's at the top of her range.
This song is actually telling me that I can do it
and I was channelling my daughters
cos it's the sort of advice I would give them.
Whatever you're thinking about, it works. Keep thinking it.
I need to own the stage a little bit more.
Nerves kind of tended to stop me from giving a full performance.
How did you get over your nerves?
You never really do get over it. You don't.
You don't, but that's a good thing because you want it to be right.
You use it as a strength. Don't let it destroy you.
Doing this show is about me showing myself and my family
that if you've got a dream, just go out and get it,
because life has a really funny way of passing you by.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Don't give it up It's glorious... #
WOW!
'Whilst I love teaching and learning,
'now is the time for me to do something for me.'
SONG: 'Anytime You Need A Friend'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
WOW. Guy'?
I'm lost for words, to be honest. Your voice is just insane.
Thank you. I'm just so happy you decided to do The Voice this year.
Why has it taken you so long?
Confidence. Complete and total confidence.
Well, you are amazing. Thank you.
Will? Cos I grew up in church and you took us to church.
Thank you.
Tom? You want me to speak after that?
I get emotional just listening to you, you know.
Ancl that's what it should be.
It's wonderful to hear you, wonderful to see you,
and I'm so glad that everybody else can hear you on this show.
It's wonderful, sweetheart.
Being on this show, having all the hair, make-up,
and to have you four absolute giants say nice things about me,
it's just been wonderful and, yeah, thank you.
You're amazing. Put your hands together for Rachel.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow. Yeah, she's a tremendous singer.
It's a gospel feeling, it's a wonderful, wonderful thing.
Who's next?
Jake of Diamonds, you remember him?
He makes cider. Yes!
HE CHUCKLES
Jake. How are you, Sir Tom?
I'm good, you? You OK?
Yeah, I'm good, thank you. You bring any cider with you?
Absolutely. Keg and a straw. I'm in.
HE LAUGHS
Jake, he's got plenty of confidence, which is a good thing.
Ancl he's got character, and I like that.
You know, he really wants to do well.
Your father was a singer, right?
Yeah, he still is.
I heard him shouting in the Blind Auditions.
I think the whole of Manchester heard him shouting
at the Blinds, to be fair.
He knows how to be loud, that's for sure.
Come on, cheer for him, let's do this! Come on!
'When I hearjake sing, it's special.'
To watch him on the Blind Audition,
I felt like I was at Willy W0nka's chocolate factory.
It was brilliant.
Turn, come on!
Yeah! Get in there!
I just love the fact that he's found his goal in life
that he is actually achieving. He is a star.
Man, that was amazing! Well done.
My family are over the moon, so yeah,
it gives me more of a drive to win it.
So, for the semi-final I was thinking Human by The Killers.
I like it. Good song.
# Are we human
# Or are we dancer? #
I think we've got the right song, he sounds really good singing it,
his tone is coming through. Everything is there.
All he has to do is deliver.
Getting to the final would mean so much to me.
I've had a little taste of what life can be,
I don't wanna go home.
Hoping to represent Team Tom in the final, it's Jake of Diamonds.
'I don't want to work in a factory my whole life,
'I want to be a professional musician.'
Come on, boy!
'I've been waiting a long time for this. This could be my chance.'
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SONG: 'Human'
# I did my best to notice
# When the call came down the line
# Up to the platform of surrender
# I was brought, but I was kind
# Ancl sometimes I get nervous
# When I see an open door
# Close your eyes
# Clear your heart
# Cut the cord
# Are we human
# Or are we dancer?
# My signs are vital... # Come on!
# Ancl my hands are cold
# And I'm on my knees
# Looking for the answer
# Now, are we human
# Or are we dancer? #
Jake of Diamonds! Whoo!
# Will your system be all right
# As you'll dream of home tonight?
# There is no message We're receiving
# Let me know ls your heart still beating?
# Are we human
# Or are we dancer?
# My signs are vital
# Oh-oh-oh, my hands are cold
# Ancl I'm on my knees Looking for the answer
# Now, are we human
# Or are we dancer? #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You smashed it, lad!
Jake of Diamonds, everyone!
Like it? Good?
Sound good? I liked it. Good.
Olly, what did you think?
Listen, what I love about you, Jake, you just shoot your own vibe.
Like, you've got your own swagger. I love your outfit,
I love the vibe of the tattoos,
you've got everything going on for you
and you've got a really quirky voice.
And I thought it was a really good performance.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Anne-Marie?
Yeah, I liked it, too.
I like that you're quirky, I like that you were just, like,
literally so relaxed.
I'd love to see where...
the next performance would be, you know.
Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And Tom?
I think you have a hell of a character. Thanks, mate.
Ancl it comes across. Ancl I loved the song.
You did it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Did you enjoy it? I loved it.
You smashed it, Jake! You did, you smashed it. Your Dad said it.
Cheers, Pops.
Put your hands together for Jake of Diamonds.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
He makes me laugh. You've got to have some character.
I love it, honestly. He's actually very witty. Cheeky.
Yeah, he's cheeky. He's got a vibe.
A place in the final would mean a lot, and I'd be over the moon.
It's down to Tom.
I hope he sees something in me, and I hope he puts me through.
# This is The Voice! #
So, Tom, you've got one left. Yes.
What we saying, best till last? Well...
This next girl, Anthonia, is another gospel singer.
She's another four-chair turn.
Hello. Anthonia.
'I am just full of so much gratitude
'to have gotten a place on the semi-finals.'
Ha-ha! I'm super excited!
I hear that you've graduated,
and that you are now a fully-fledged nurse? Yes.
You could come in very handy!
Hopefully not.
THEY LAUGH No.
How are you feeling? You OK since the Blind Auditions?
Cos a four-chair turn, you had.
That was surreal.
# Never made me blink one time... #
In the Blinds, she was phenomenal.
I was just screaming, holding my mum so tight!
# There's no fear now... #
All of them turned.
I was like...
When she sings, I feel like I'm in another world.
It's really exciting.
The song that I had in mind for the semi-final
is Praying by Kesha. Yes, OK!
I mean, I can't wait to hear you sing it.
# I hope you're somewhere Praying... #
Anthonia has got a special quality.
She reminds me a bit of Whitney Houston.
She's a young, fresh singer,
and I think she's got the whole world in her hands right now.
'A couple of months ago, I graduated as a nurse,
'and today, I'm going to be singing for my place in the final.
'So being on that stage is quite overwhelming.'
Yeah!
So, are you worried about anything?
Just not getting overwhelmed.
Try not to think about the hugeness of the show.
You just do it the way you feel it
and you'll be fine.
Thank you so much.
# My wildest dream... #
'This is it now. I have to give it everything.
'If I got through to the final,
'it would mean everything to my family,
'especially my little sister.'
Good luck, Anthonia. When you go on stage,
make sure you feel like you're singing in the kitchen,
so that you don't freak out.
# This is all beyond My wildest dreams... #
APPLAUSE
CHEERING
Anthonia!
SONG: 'Prayer'
# Well, you almost Had me fooled... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Told me that I was nothing Without you
# Ancl after everything you've clone

# Cos you brought the flames Ancl you put me through hell
# I've had to learn How to fight for myself
# Ancl we both know All the truth I could tell
# I'll just say this That I wish you farewell

It was so beautiful.

I was just sat here mesmerised of just how great that really was.

And, to me, it was perfect.
You touched me right in there. That's enough.

I have no words. Like, that was incredible.
That moved me.
You've got a tough decision. Yeah.
Yeah, that is massive! That is a huge decision. Yeah.
They've all done their very best
to make this the toughest decision ever for Tom.
So, please welcome back Rachel, Jake Of Diamonds, and Anthonia.

# Oh, I hope some day I'll make it Out of here
# Wanna feel alive outside
# I can't fight my fear... #
So, Tom, this is gonna be your final decision of The Voice 2022.

It's a hard decision for me to make.
But I can only take one person through.

'It could have been any one of us.'
Yeah, she was great. I wouldn't have changed anything.
Not even the shirt! Not even my trousers!

You know.
'I hope I have inspired my students at school.'
I hope they now realise that anybody can do anything
if they put their mind to it.
