The Knockouts 1
-Last week, the battles began.
-Bang!
-You've got a tough decision!
-I know!
-Some took victory.
-Anna.
-Leo.
-Sally.
Others were lost.
I'm sorry, Nathan.
But three were stolen.
Ricky's steal. Yes!
Tonight, the fight for a place in the knockouts intensifies.
-Come on!
-Bam!
-One artist stays, one artist leaves.
-Oh, dear.
-This is a really big moment for me.
-OK.
And an even bigger moment for Kylie.
As the only coach with a steal left, the pressure is building.
I would like to back out of the decision.
Going to have to push you, Kylie.
Don't ask me anything.
Hello and welcome to The Voice.
It's round two of the battles.
Let's meet our superstar coaches.
Give it up for the coolest man in town, Mr Will.i.am.
The beautiful Kylie!
Give it up for the living legend. It is Sir Tom Jones.
And the truly wonderful Ricky Wilson.
Everyone, we have our coaches.
Now, Kylie, you are the only coach left with a steal.
-Who are you looking for?
-The one who has the magic.
-Cool.
Nobody in particular that you have your eye on? No names?
I can't give names. I cannot divulge.
OK, Kylie won't give names so I reckon the sooner we start,
the sooner we'll find out.
So first into battle, Team Ricky.
The whole point of the battle round is to bring out the best in people.
The ones that I thought were weaker have all stepped up.
They're learning off each other.
First person is...
..Chris.
25-year-old Chris Royal had a secret weapon, his faultless falsetto.
Up against two other spinners, Ricky pitched them all out of the running.
You tell me how far you want to go and we'll do it together.
I know you've got a great voice.
You're going to have to pull it right out of the bottom of that bag
because the person you're going to be singing against is...
Jamie.
Former rock front man Jamie Lovatt went solo
and got the crowd on his side...
..and with Ricky and Kylie to choose between,
he opted for a fellow front man.
Chris and Jamie have got such different voices
but that is what this battle is all about,
it's just power versus emotion.
And the song is...Rolling In The Deep.
How you doing? You all right?
My battle advisor is Katy B.
It's great to have Katy there because she comes at it from a different angle.
She knows what she's talking about.
To be a recording artist takes a lot, a lot of practice and a lot of hard work.
Once you realise that then nothing can stop you.
How do you feel about having to go up against him?
Obviously, no offence, but you are in the way of my dream, kind of.
-Do you know what I mean?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-You're in the way of my dream.
-SHE LAUGHS
I just want to hear the passion.
It was the first time we got to hear each other sing properly.
All right, mate! Calm down!
I thought I had better pull out my little falsetto.
My counteract to that falsetto is a rock'n'roll roar.
Chris and Jamie, they give every single last drop of energy
and it was really intense to watch.
-Whoo.
-Fight for your lives.
Chris and Jamie have got such different voices.
It's like two things fighting each other that shouldn't be fighting each other.
It's a serpent versus a lion.
They've both got it in them to kill.
It's just who will come out on the night, I don't know.
I ain't ready to go home yet.
Jamie is standing in the way of my dream
so I need to prove to myself and Ricky
that I am the best guy to go through to the next stage of the competition.
I've never done anything like this before.
I just think we're very equally matched but in very different ways.
First into the ring tonight,
he is the serious soul boy from Manchester.
Give it up for Chris Royal...
..going voice to voice with the rock man from Jersey.
It's Jamie Lovatt.
Let the battle commence.
# There's a fire starting in my heart
# Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
# Finally, I can see you crystal clear
# Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
# See how I leave with every piece of you
# Don't underestimate the things that I will do
# The scars of your love remind me of us
# I can't help thinking that we almost had it all
# The scars of your love they leave me breathless
# I can't help feeling
# We could have had it all
# Rolling in the deep
# You had my heart inside of your hand
# You played it to the beat
# Throw your soul through every open door
# Count your blessings to find what you look for
# Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
# You'll pay me back in kind Reap what you sow
# Whoa
-# It all
# It all
-# You played it
# You played it
# You played it to the beat. #
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Chris and Jamie.
Fellas, what a fierce battle.
Ricky, what a way to open the show.
Amazing stuff, guys. So proud.
Now, Ricky, you can only take one of these singers through to the knockout.
You've got a very tough decision.
Let's have a chat with Tom. The first battle of the night, Tom.
-Did it deliver for you?
-Yes, it did.
I wasn't expecting the falsetto. You did a hell of a job on that.
Commend you on that.
And, Jamie, I know you have got the look, you got the thing there going on
cos I used to have a shirt like that once.
It would be hard for me to make a choice.
I'm glad that I don't have to but you were really, really good, the both of you.
Ricky, fantastic song choice. What did the guys bring to...?
HE LAUGHS
It's a tough decision, right?
What did the guys bring to the battle this evening for you, Ricky?
I've said it before, it's the power versus the emotion.
It's like choosing between...
You would be better at thinking of an analogy.
You'd be like, "Space and the ocean," or something.
No, it's like choosing between, like, spaghettis...
and ramen.
They've both got noodles.
One has got tomatoes and one has just got water with miso in it.
And 'me so' confused right now that I don't know what to do.
OK, so, Ricky, as you said, power versus emotion.
We need to know what is your decision tonight?
AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT NAMES
All right! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
All right, it's really tough but the winner of this battle is...
Congratulations, my man. How do you feel right now?
-Wow. Thank you. Just thank you.
-Very well-deserved, Chris.
Go and give Ricky a big hug. Everyone, give it up for Chris.
-You get me every time. You get me every time.
-I won't let you down.
I know you won't.
Well done. You all right?
Can I just say, that was...
That's the toughest decision I've made so far
because I know how much they both want it.
-Sorry.
-Thank you, Ricky. Thank you.
OK, so, Jamie, you still have a chance to get through
but it won't be with Tom or Will because they have already stolen an artist
so, Kylie, Jamie is now available for a steal.
Jamie, is there anything you would like to say to Kylie?
I've just had an amazing time.
Kylie, if you want the rock god you saw first time round
then you've got a chance now to take me.
Kylie, there's only a short amount of time now left to steal Jamie.
Everyone is going to fall in love with you.
You already have it all and run with it.
Jamie, you've been amazing. You're already an incredible artist. Give us a hug.
Go and see Ricky. Everyone, give it up for Jamie.
I know you think you put yourself on the line doing this
but you know, life is made of big decisions.
You made a really big decision. I'm really sorry, buddy.
-I had to make one decision. Sorry.
-No, no.
-Thanks.
-I'm not going to feel bad.
-Yes.
I followed my heart.
Although Jamie's power is undeniable and he's a great singer...
..you know, I don't think you can learn the kind of emotion that Chris can portray in a song.
Well done, Chris.
It's very natural with him. It seems like it flows out of him, Chris.
And I shouldn't take it into account
but he's got that thing where you just stand next to him and he's talking to you
-and I'm just like...
-There you go.
You feel like you're in the presence of someone who should be doing something.
You know what I mean? It's not forced. He's gentle.
That does come into it.
So proud of you, my love.
The first battle has been fought
but there is still only one question on everyone's lips.
Give it your best, Ricky.
So, your first steal, is it going to be early or later on?
Because you know, I've got some that deserve to stay in.
Who is feeling the most uncomfortable on set right now?
That would be me.
Will, Tom, Ricky, they all want me to steal from their team. Help.
I have some tactics of how to persuade Kylie.
I whisper subliminally, "Steal from me. Steal from me."
It's the power of the suggestion.
Hey, shut up.
She should steal one of mine.
Hopefully, she'll steal one of my acts because I have got the best singers.
If she doesn't, that's her fault so I don't know what she's waiting for
but whatever it is, it had better be good.
There's a lot more acts to listen to. It's awful.
What am I going to do? Save me.
Next into battle, it's Team Kylie.
Team Kylie and first pairing is...
..Rachael...
# So I'll be your cloud. #
16-year-old Rachael O'Connor got Kylie very excited at the blinds.
First the chair spun.
-Yes!
-Then Kylie spun around it.
I have got to do the rain dance around my chair!
You're going to be singing with...
..Amelia.
# First time. #
Amelia O'Connell from Liverpool is also 16.
You are!
And she also got the Kylie body spin.
This is super, super exciting.
The song is Holy Grail by Jay-Z featuring Justin Timberlake.
Lovely ladies.
My battle advisor is my very good friend Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters.
He is kind of like this weird long-lost brother of mine.
We're both big showgirls.
What I can offer Team Kylie is my experience as a performer.
Performance is really where I shine.
What you both had in the audition was the emotion and this beautiful fragility
so it's really good to take a song like this and do something different with it.
# You take the clothes off my back. #
Pretty nervous about Holy Grail.
My biggest challenge is putting my own spin on the song.
It's slow, it's dead soft.
My strength is my power and I can't do it in this song
and it's dead annoying.
You guys did a fantastic job with I think some really difficult material.
You basically got it.
Remember, just be very, very delicate.
They want to keep it simple and it's been really frustrating
because I know in my head how I want to sing it.
And at studio rehearsals, the girls tell Kylie what is needed.
But there are parts of the song that we want to sing bigger.
Yeah, to make it a bit more like oomph.
We can perform it through and see what you have.
# And, baby, it's amazing. #
The girls came in really determined to throw everything in there.
# Don't know why I love you so much. #
I didn't think that was the most sensible way
to get the most out of that song.
It's beautiful,
but I think you just need to be really choosy with where you show it off.
It's hard being a 16-year-old girl.
You can see their emotions are just brimming.
I agree with what you're saying and everything, it's just...
I got emotional on stage but getting advice from Kylie Minogue,
it's like, you've got to listen to it.
-You girls, let's hug it out.
-We just cry all the time.
Being in the same room as Kylie is, like, a big deal.
I've realised through the process how much it means to me.
I don't want to go home.
Two 16-year-olds here to prove their potential.
On the biggest stage of her life, Derry's girl Rachael O'Connor...
..and Liverpool's own Amelia O'Connell.
# You take the clothes off my back
# And I let you
# You'd steal the food right out my mouth
# And I'd watch you eat it
# I still don't know why
# Why I love you so much
# Oh
# You curse my name
# In spite to put me to shame
# Leave my laundry in the streets Dirty or clean
# Give it all for fame
# But I still don't know why, oh
# Yeah
# And baby, it's amazing I'm in this maze with you
# I just can't crack your code
# One day you're screaming you love me loud
# The next day you're so cold
# One day you're here, one day you're there
# One day you care
# You're so unfair, oh
# Sipping from your cup Till it runneth over, Holy Grail
# Screw the fame, keep cheating on me
# What I do, I took him back fool me twice
# That's my bad, I can't even blame him for that
# Enough to make me wanna murder Momma, please get my bail
# I know nobody to blame Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself
# And we're all just entertainers
# And we're stupid and contagious
# You get the air out of my lungs
# Whenever you need it
# You take the blade right out my heart
# So you can watch me bleed
# And I still don't know why
# Why I love you so
# Much. #
Give it up one more time for Rachael and Amelia.
Kylie, you must be just thrilled.
It takes a lot to get up here at 16...
Wait! I just have to hug the both of them because...
I'm so proud of you both.
-It takes guts to get up here at 16.
It does but also, at 16, so many things are new to you
that it's just...it's another new step.
I'm just so thrilled for you both.
Thrilled for the girls but a very difficult decision for you is coming.
-Have a think about it. Let's go to the other coaches.
Tom, what is it like performing at 16?
You were a performer yourself at that age.
Yeah, but not on a stage like this.
I was just singing locally in Pontypridd.
-So a slightly different scale.
-Yes, yes.
I loved that.
I couldn't make a decision on what I heard and saw tonight.
It was really fantastic.
So, a little bit of help but not very much, really.
No, I understand, though, I do
cos I would like to back out of the decision myself but I can't.
I was really hoping throughout the process of getting to this point
that there would be a steal available so that you could both go through.
In this career, in this business, you hear "yes" sometimes,
you hear "no" a lot.
It's really hard. This is awful.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
You know you're both going to be fine, right?
The winner of this battle...
..is Rachael.
-Well done. Are you OK?
-Yeah.
-Thank you so much. Thank you.
-Congratulations.
Give it up for Rachael, everybody.
So, Amelia, unfortunately, all the other coaches have used their steals
so this does mean it's the end of the road for you.
Thank you so much for taking part.
She's been fantastic, hasn't she?
She has and come back next year
or you'll be getting your first Brit Award and I'll be kicking myself.
But that's the thing, isn't it?
It's a great thing because she is still so young and you still have so much more time.
Yeah, I know.
It's been amazing and obviously, I'm devastated
but, like, I'm really thankful that everything that has, like, happened. Yeah.
Thank you. You've been an absolutely fantastic contestant.
Give it up for Amelia, everybody.
That was the right choice.
It's really hard but Rachael's voice just has that something...
that spoke to me.
It's crazy, like, knowing I'm in the knockouts. What?
The winner of this battle is...
Download The Voice app and become a home coach.
Decide who you'd put through
and see what all the other home coaches think.
Plus play the weekly trivia quiz and watch all the performances again.
Next into battle, it's Team Will.
With the battles, I'm looking for amazingness, vulnerability
and the confidence to do things out of their comfort zone.
My next pairing is Kiki deVille...
The blind auditions went to the wire
for 40-year-old burlesque singer Kiki deVille
until this final night...
..which spun Will round at the last second.
You know how to keep a girl waiting.
She will be rocking up against...
..James Byron.
# Oh, baby. #
Small-town boy James Byron also has a memorable look and sound.
I've always been quite feminine so I get a lot of people that confuse me for a woman.
And that sound took him straight into Team Will.
Thank you so much, Will, for turning around.
I was quite shocked with the pairing because Kiki is very theatrical.
I hadn't really considered James as somebody who would be paired with me,
probably because he is quite introverted.
And the song that you guys will be singing is...
Because The Night by Patti Smith.
-Oh, my God.
-That's so cool.
This season, I've got two battle advisors.
Back for a third time, Black Eyed Peas co-founder
and global music producer Dante Santiago.
Will and I are very determined this year.
We're really, really ready for war.
With a girl who knows the score,
Will's finalist from last series, Leah McFall.
It feels really strange to be standing on the other side of the piano
but it's quite nice to just be able to share a wee bit of advice.
-You say hello to them first.
-No, you do.
-You do.
-Go.
-Come on, they know you.
-Hi!
-What's up, Kiki?
-Hi, Will.
-James, good to see you.
I was quite nervous going into piano rehearsal.
Kiki has got such a big personality.
When she walks in the room, you know she is there.
Oh, my God! You do burlesque. You could do "boylesque".
-Show us your burlesque.
-I don't take my clothes off.
-Oh.
I'm just a burlesque singer.
# Because the night belongs to lovers. #
Kiki, right off the bat, she doesn't have any nerves.
She is ready for battle.
(WEAKLY) # Touch me now. #
James was very timid, but you could hear his skills.
So, James, do you feel a little intimidated?
Um...
Well, yeah, a little bit. Sorry, I'm really shy. I don't know why.
It's all good. There are a lot of folks that are shy.
Were you shy in school?
I was kind of like bullied so went a bit shy and kind of went a bit insular
but music is like what I do to be a big, flamboyant character.
-It's camouflage.
-Mm.
Without it, you feel naked.
I'm shy but music is like...
It clothes me so you know, but you'll get used to it
and work out all those bugs.
James sounds amazing but he needs to get over that shyness so he can fly.
-I think Kiki deVille could bring out the diva in you.
-Oh, my gosh.
And I think James could bring out the rock'n'roll in you.
-Yeah, definitely. If anyone can do it, she can do it.
-Awesomeness.
I've been hiding quite a lot in my life and I need to just let go
and not care what people think.
I have been doing this for 25 years.
Once we hit the battle ring, nothing is going to stand in my way.
She knows what she wants and she's here to take it. It's Kiki deVille...
..versus James Byron.
Give me a hug right now.
# Take me now, baby, here as I am
# Pull me close, try and understand
# Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
# Love is a banquet on which we feed
# Come on now, try and understand
# The way I feel when I'm in your hands
# Take my hand, come undercover
# They can't hurt you now
# Can't hurt you now
# Because the night belongs to lovers
# Because the night belongs to us
# Have I doubt when I'm alone
# Love is a ring, the telephone
# Love is an angel disguised as lust
# Here in our bed until the morning comes
# With love we sleep
# With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns
# Without you I cannot
# Live, forgive, the yearning burning
# I believe it's time
-# So touch me now
-Touch me now
# Touch me now
# Because the night, yeah
# Because tonight there are two lovers
# Because the night
# Belongs to us. #
Wow, an incredible battle. Give it up for Kiki and James.
Wow! That was incredible. Well done, guys. Fantastic.
Will, I mean, your team put on a great show tonight, right?
Yeah, it was fantastic. It was flawless. You guys were immaculate.
I'm proud of you guys.
OK, we're going to hear from the other coaches.
Kylie, you're not their coach
-but I know you can relate to both of these artists, can't you?
-Mm-hm.
Kiki, I think you probably have more experience. This is just what you do.
James, I feel like you showed
so much more than what we heard in blind auditions
so I feel that you have come a long, long way already,
just with this amount of rehearsal and it was great. Loved it.
Ricky, from that performance, obviously, they both clearly wanted it very much
but in your eyes, who needs it the most?
I can't split you apart vocally but if I had to choose between you...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS
Are these voices in my head? LAUGHTER
No, they are definitely here.
..then I might go with James.
OK, let's go over to your coach, Will.
Will, you have got a very hard choice on your hands here.
These are some of the best people on my team...
..because they are more than just great singers,
they're like the complete package.
Kiki is like...you need to have your own TV show.
Yeah, I totally do.
I really do, and you would be my first boylesque guest.
And what's your name again?
Oh! Wait, wait, wait, it's...
Wildebeest.
-That's right!
-Wildebeest!
-Beasty cos I'm working on my muscles.
-I think that's what she meant.
-Is that what you meant?
-Absolutely.
She said "abbbsolutely" because of my abs.
I'm beastly.
-Can you tell us who the winner of the battle is?
-I really don't know.
-Can I use the restroom?
-Oh, the restroom, yeah, go for it.
-I'll be back.
Will needs the toilet.
OK, Will's making his way back to his chair so hopefully, he has made up his mind.
-Can I go now?
-No, Ricky, just hold it.
-Yeah, I want to powder my nose.
-Here he comes. Give it up for Will.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I just needed to clear my head.
OK. Can you tell us who the winner of the battle is?
Sh.
James.
Congratulations, James. How much does that mean to you?
That is just... Thank you so much, Will.
-It means the world, it really does.
-You didn't expect that, did you?
I really, really didn't. Thank you.
Listen, you have worked your socks off. Go and see Will.
Everyone, give it up for James.
Make me proud.
-Thank you so much.
-You were great.
Proud of you, babe.
-Kiki, I'm so sorry.
-That's OK.
However, Kiki, you are now available for a steal.
Is there anything you would like to say, Kiki?
Kylie, obviously, you are one of my idols.
You're a showgirl and that's what I like to think of myself as
and I can so incredibly bring it.
Like, you have no idea.
And I would just make you so, so proud. I really, really would.
OK, there's only a short amount of time now left.
Kylie, it's over to you.
OK, Kiki, you have been an incredible artist.
You have done yourself so proud. You have done your family so proud.
It's the end of the competition for you.
-How has your time been on The Voice, Kiki?
-Incredible. Thank you so much.
Can I just say? This will not be the last that you see of me.
Absolutely not. Kiki, you have been amazing.
Please give it up, everybody, for Kiki deVille.
I'm proud of you.
-It was lovely to meet you.
-You're awesome.
-Thank you very much.
-We'll see you again.
There's no right or wrong here. It's just taste.
I use my gut when I can't make a logical decision
and I go off of just gut instinct.
It has nothing to do with logic.
Oh, my God, darling, I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault.
That was difficult, not using my steal for Kiki
because she's Australian and she's a showgirl, yes, we have a lot in common
but I'm patiently waiting for the steal I can work with
to really gain some momentum in this show.
Next in to battle is Team Tom.
Any battle can go either way.
I try to match them as best I can,
but it makes it more difficult for me
when they are there, equally as good.
So, the next pairing will be...
..Melissa...
# Love is... #
21-year-old Melissa is a massive Amy Winehouse fan.
But then, I think we guessed that.
-You're foxy.
-I think I'm going to go with Tom.
-CHEERING
..and Vicky.
# I want to lay you down... #
Vicky Jones from Bolton has watched her brother make it big in music.
To everyone else, he's Danny from McFly, but to me, he's my brother.
But now, it was her turn
and her voice was a perfect fit for Team Tom.
-The song is a Supremes song.
-It's called Keep Me Hangin' On.
This year, I've got a brand-new battle advisor, Tinie Tempah.
# Cos I'm a lover, not a fighter Hello? #
I've been blessed with an amazing career so far
and now I'm on The Voice with Sir Tom Jones.
It's really exciting.
OK, so, shall we try it?
# Set me free, why don't you, baby? #
You Keep Me Hangin' On, which is a '60s song, which I felt...
-You know, I was very happy with.
-# You just keep me hanging on... #
But there were a few problems within the song.
-Yeah, I think it needs to be...
-Held.
-Needs to get on, yeah.
-It's a bit...
-Yeah, yeah. We could try it a little bit slower.
And we were trying to work out a way that their song could end
with a bit of conviction.
# You just keep me hanging on. #
It just wasn't really working out.
I think I made a mistake here, picking this song.
So, I think we should just sort of say, "Not that one.
"Let's think again and we'll get another song."
It just didn't work and I don't blame them
so I felt we had to change the song.
-OK?
-All right, girls.
Me and Vicky were like, "What can you say?"
-Fair enough.
-Yeah, that wasn't it.
-Didn't kick off.
-Wrong song for the wrong girls.
So, him and Tinie are trying to figure out something new for us.
There you are.
I picked another song by Pink.
Hair. It's called Just Give Me A Reason.
-You guys like that song?
-Yeah, I do.
Well, that's it. We're halfway there, then.
# Right from the start
# You were a thief You stole my heart... #
It's a poppy kind of chart song and after kind of running it through,
I'm actually really enjoying it now.
-# We can learn to love again
-# I never stopped... #
I'm really happy with the song choice,
but I think nerves are going to be my biggest obstacle and confidence.
Um, I was in a band with my brother and then he became quite successful
and then I went to university and he got his lucky break
and I just didn't and so, yeah, I just don't perform any more.
On the day, you know, just make sure you're on top form
and, you know, you're confident.
-That's going to be very important, you know.
It was a challenge to learn a new song, but I want this so bad.
I do not want to go home.
I want to make sure Tom knows that I'm supposed to be in his team.
Never going to get away from the fact of who my brother is.
I can really see this helping me push forward as Vicky Jones,
not Danny's sister.
It's the battle of rock versus retro.
-It's Vicky Jones.
-Give it up for Melissa.
-Enjoy.
# Right from the start You were a thief, you stole my heart
# And I your willing victim
# I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty
# And with every touch
# You fixed them
# Now, you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
# Things you never say to me Oh, oh
# Tell me that you've had enough
# Of our love, our love
# Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough
# Just a second We're not broken just bent
# And we can learn to love again
# I never stopped
# It's still written in the scars on our hearts
# You're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
-# Oh, tear ducts and rust
-I'll fix it for us
-# We're collecting dust
-But our love's enough
-# You're holding it in
-You're pouring a drink
# No, nothing is as bad as it seems
# We'll come clean
# It's in the stars
# It's been written in the scars on our hearts
# You're not broken just bent
# And we can learn to love again. #
Wow, wow, wow! Give it up for Vicky and Melissa!
-Well, Sir Tom, you've got a very tough decision.
We'll go to the other coaches first. Will, how good was that?
That was fantastic by both you guys.
There were some flat notes,
but you guys were aware of it and fixed them
and I salute you guys on being attentive to your performance
and then it was great.
You guys looked cute, you guys...
-Did you guys plan the red thing?
-LAUGHTER
That's great. You guys were awesome. Thank you, Will.
If you had to take one of these through tonight, if it was your two girls,
who would you be taking through, Vicky or Melissa?
It would be... I would have to go with the plaids.
-Which is...?
I mean, hello! Shirts! Oh, with Vicky. OK.
-You betcha.
Thanks for that, Will.
-Ricky, I come to you.
-Hi.
A song like that takes pretty much a take-no-prisoners performance.
Who do you think delivered out of Melissa and Vicky?
It is two remarkable performances
and I thought it was a great song choice, Tom.
-I loved it.
I thought Melissa, when she was great, you were really great.
Thank you, Ricky.
But, Tom, we do have to come to that point
where we have to make a decision.
So, Vicky or Melissa, Tom? Who's the winner of this battle?
It's very difficult for me, honestly, because you both...
You're great singers, the two of you,
and you did a great job.
So, it's so close, honestly.
So, the winner of this battle is...
-Melissa.
-Melissa!
-Congratulations, Melissa.
-Well done. Well done, baby girl. Well done.
-Don't!
-Melissa, how are you feeling?
-Really emotional.
Of course you are. Listen, you absolutely nailed it up there.
Congratulations, Melissa. Go and give Tom a big hug.
We will be seeing you in The Knockouts.
-All right, love?
Now, Vicky, you're no longer on Team Tom.
So, Kylie, you know the deal. You are the only one that's left.
Vicky, you're now available for a steal.
Is there anything you'd like to say to Kylie, Vicky?
I'd just like to say that I kind of gave up singing
and this has kick-started it all for me.
So, whatever happens, I'm going to carry on,
but I'd love to stay on the show.
Over to you, Kylie.
Steal her! Steal her! Steal her!
I am going to pass today, but I wish you all the best
and I'm glad that you've gained so much confidence
throughout this experience.
You've been a fantastic artist. Go and see Tom. Go and see the rest of the coaches.
Give it up for Vicky Jones, everybody!
You did a great job, love, honestly.
It's really hard at that final moment
for these contestants when I'm their last hope.
It's really starting to wear me down.
It was a very tough decision
and they both got a hold of that song.
Um, Melissa, I think, maybe has more of an unusual voice
and that's why I went that way.
Told you!
Next, leading his team into battle, it's Ricky Wilson.
The music industry is about doing things,
not waiting for it just to happen.
It's all about getting yourself noticed
and this is a great platform for that.
OK, the next battle is between...
..Myles.
And you will be battling Max.
# Baby girl... #
Judo champion Max Murphy
was looking for at least one important hit from the coaches...
Despite my dedication to judo, I've always loved singing.
..and Ricky delivered.
Trainee solicitor Myles Evans has never performed in public before...
# Seems to me like... #
..but he was inspired to audition by his sister.
Davida was diagnosed with cancer in February last year.
I thought it was about time that somebody pushed him
and he couldn't say no to his big sister.
# But I got high hopes It takes me back to... #
-You'll go a long way.
-Cheers. Thank you.
How are you doing? Good to see you.
For these two guys, I have chosen Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.
What do you think of the song choice?
I like it a lot. I'm a big fan of The Beatles so...
I mean, I'm a big fan of The Beatles
and I think it's weird when people aren't.
I recognise the song, but I don't know it that well.
# Eleanor Rigby... #
Myles had a problem with this.
I was astonished by the fact that he didn't know the song very well.
We need to clear that one up.
And he's going up against Max
and Max has got this confidence which is incredible.
You sound uber confident, right? And I like that a lot.
You just need to come out of your shell a bit more.
And I know it's not your fault. You haven't sung that much in public.
It will get better, but it's got to get better quicker.
To sum up the piano rehearsal for me - disaster.
I kind of feel a bit out of my depth.
As long as you don't think I was holding back
because I don't want it.
I know you want it and you know why I know you want it.
You're at a career crossroads.
I guess you know in your heart
this is definitely something that you wanted to do.
It is now. I mean, I wouldn't...
I didn't put myself forward for this show in the first place.
-You didn't? Who did?
-My sister.
Really? Aw.
She must be feeling so proud of you
and you should definitely sort of take that with you and hold that with you.
The thing about Myles is he's not just out of his comfort zone.
He hasn't got a comfort zone. But I know he can do it.
Since last time I saw you, how are things working out?
-It's a lot better than it was.
-Right.
A bit of a disaster in the piano...
What I'd like to see is letting go a little bit more.
# Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church... #
The onstage rehearsal, it went a lot better than the piano rehearsal.
Felt a lot more confident with it.
How much has that improved? Your vocals have just stepped up.
Now he's really on-form, I'm actually quite worried.
# No-one was there... #
With Myles, he's turned from being a trainee solicitor to a risk taker. He's proving himself.
# All the lonely people... #
Max is so freewheeling. He's never the same twice.
It's kind of dangerous, which is why I really like it.
Both want to swap big careers outside the music industry
to make a big impression inside it.
It's Myles Evans...
..against Max Murphy.
# Eleanor Rigby
# Picks up the rice in the church where her wedding has been
# Lives in a dream
# Waits at the window
# Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
# Who is it for?
# All the lonely people
# Where do they all come from?
# Where do they all belong?
# Father McKenzie
# Writing the words for the sermon that no-one will hear
# No-one comes near
# Look at him working
# Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
# What does he care?
# Ah, look at all the lonely people
# Died in the church and was buried along with her name
# Nobody came
# Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
# No-one was saved
# Where do they all belong? #
Max and Myles, everybody!
Ricky, you were looking very happy with yourself during that.
Yeah, they did me proud. Thanks, guys. Thanks.
It's going to be another tough decision.
Will, who would you want on your team?
Would you want the hotshot lawyer or the judo champion?
I'm not one for violence.
I've never had to, like, sock anybody or duck from a fist.
Where did you grow up, then?
Believe it or not, I grew up in a very bad neighbourhood.
It was just that my mom was strict and I couldn't leave the house.
I kind of get the feeling you could talk your way out of a fight.
I could talk my way out of a fight!
Yeah, but it was a unique version of Eleanor Rigby.
-It was awesome. It was great.
-APPLAUSE
So, Ricky, two members of your team. Only one of them can stay.
So, on one hand, you've got Myles.
Now, Myles, I know people talk on TV shows about...
Do you want to say something, Will?
-No, you said "one hand". I'm holding it.
This is my lovely assistant, who will demonstrate my points.
On the one hand...
..you've got Myles.
-His sister put him forward for this.
-Who's here tonight.
-Hello!
Um, hiya!
I'd really like to thank her and I think everyone should thank her because he would never have done it.
Then, on the other hand...
CLEARS THROAT Will.
..you've got Max and although they're both at massive crossroads
where, you know, you go on to become a...
Why is everyone laughing?
-It's your assistant.
-Ricky.
Oh, it's you!
I'm still doing your...your things.
OK, Ricky, who's the winner of the battle?
My decision is this.
The winner of the battle...
..is Max.
-Well done. How are you feeling?
-Thanks so much, Ricky.
Yeah, I'm really honoured to get through.
Give it up for Max, everybody!
-Thanks so much, man.
-So much to do now.
OK, Myles, you could still be in with a chance,
as you are now available for a steal.
OK, Kylie, it's all down to you.
-AUDIENCE:
-Kylie! Kylie! Kylie!
OK, Myles, I'm so sorry,
but thank you so much and keep doing it.
Thank you. Myles, everybody!
-Hey, man. Sorry. It was a tough decision to make.
-I know.
I'm really sorry. But thanks for coming out.
And you know what? It's the start of something great.
I meant what I said to Myles, which is now he's a risk-taker.
He's made a leap and I'm really proud of him.
That makes it all the more harder to not put him through.
I didn't feel like I could take Myles any further in the competition.
He's not my one. I still want to know who my one is.
He did brilliantly. Really proud of him.
He showed everyone he could sing. So, well chuffed.
And the next pairing is going to be Sophie May...
..and Cherri.
# If you're lost, you can... #
16-year-old Sophie May Williams' biggest fan is her grandad.
And she found a new fan at the last moment in sneaky Will.
# You better stop... #
33-year-old Cherri Prince thought time was running out on her singing dream,
until Will stepped in to give her the last place on his team.
And you guys are going to be singing Love Cats by The Cure.
It's a fantabulous number.
-BOTH: Hi.
It's the perfect battle because they're similar in ways.
They're pretty dope!
Sophie could learn from Cherri's experience
and then Cherri could learn from Sophie May's freshness.
How do you guys like scatting?
-Oh, it's good, isn't it?
-Love. Yeah.
-Best bit of the song.
Scat is like vocal improvisation. Me and Leah scatted on Bang Bang.
SHE SCATS
Cherri has a great vocabulary of scat.
And then Little Miss Sophie May, she went with the yabba-dabbas.
SCATS
I'm like, "OK, we've got to get this girl some more vocabulary."
You've got me with Fred Flintstone all day.
Yabba dabba doo!
-Did you like it?
-Love it a lot.
-Good.
Make it your own without it sounding like Muzak.
Do you know what Muzak is? Have you never heard of Muzak?
A little take like MC Hammer, You Can't Touch This.
Play...
HUMS CAN'T TOUCH THIS BY MC HAMMER
PLAYS CAN'T TOUCH THIS BY MC HAMMER
But more jazzy.
# You can't touch this
# Stop! Hammer time! #
You don't want to do that. You don't want to do that.
I've never seen a jazz battle.
It's going to be cool, though.
Here come two sides of the same coin.
It's time for a jazz battle with Sophie May Williams.
Cherri Prince.
# Ooh, we move like cagey tigers
# We could not get closer than this
# The way we walk, the way we talk
# The way we stalk, the way we...
# We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
# Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
# We bite and scratch and scream all night
# Let's go and throw all the songs we know
# Oh, into the sea Oh, you and me
# All these years and no-one heard
# I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing
# They missed you, hissed the lovecats... #
SOPHIE MAY SCATS
# So wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
# You know I would do anything for you
# We should have each other for tea, huh?
# We should have each other with cream
# Then curl up by the fire And sleep for a while
# It's the grooviest thing
# It's the perfect dream
# Hand in hand is the only way to land
# Always the right way round
# Not broken in pieces like hated little meeces
# Oh, how could we miss someone as dumb as this?
# They missed you, hissed the lovecats
# Oh, da-da mmm. #
CHERRI SCATS
Give it up for Sophie May and Cherri.
Will, this is going to be a tough one, right?
It's going to be pretty tough.
Tough but doable?
Ricky, did you ever think you'd hear a classic Cure song
sung quite like that?
It was two incredible performances and if I had a steal left, I mean,
I wouldn't care who you put through, I'd have the other one.
Will, is this going to be
the hardest of your battles, do you think?
This is my favourite of the battles. It's one of my favourite songs.
To hear it be done in a jazzy way and the way you guys executed it.
Cherri, you're like a cherry on top,
and Sophie, you came so sophisticated and wonderful.
Get it? Sophie-sticated.
LAUGHTER Got it.
I play with words!
-It was great.
OK, Will. It's decision-making time.
AUDIENCE YELLS SUGGESTIONS
I want to work with both you guys
because you guys sing in the style of the music I like,
but moving forward for tonight...
..it would be...
..Sophistication.
Sophie May!
-I don't know what to say. Like...
Well, go and say it to Will cos you're still on Team Will.
Give it up for Sophie May, everybody.
-Give me a hug.
OK, Cherri, so no longer part of Team Will.
Ricky and Tom have already stolen, so you can't join their teams.
However, it is not over just yet because Kylie still has a space.
So, you are now available for a steal.
MOUTHS INAUDIBLY
I'm not going to steal.
-OK, Cherri. I'm so sorry.
-That's all right.
It's not going to happen today with Kylie.
Thank you so much, though, for being part of The Voice.
You've been absolutely wonderful. Go and see the coaches.
Give it up for Cherri, everybody.
-I'm sorry, love.
-Don't worry.
-Thanks for a great performance.
-Keep in touch.
-I definitely will.
-Yes, please do.
-It's nice to meet you.
-All right. See you later. Bye, Cherri.
Cherri, to see her not on the show any more,
it's a hard thing to swallow.
-You were amazing.
-You were too. Well done.
-You better do well, love.
-I will. Oh, my God.
-I'll be watching you.
I'll do it for you.
Sophie did an amazing job. To be so young but so sophisticated...
..she is unique.
So, we're halfway through round two
and Kylie is getting rather a lot of attention.
-So, you're the only one left with a steal.
-Yes, I am.
And I've got some strong singers coming up.
Ooh, I got something you could be looking for too.
Just zone him out, zone him out.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I'm not telling!
I am completely feeling the pressure.
I'm sure those guys knew what they were doing.
Steal early!
As the battles conclude...
The fight is on for the last few places.
The decisions get tougher.
-Dog eat dog.
-The pressure is on.
-Don't ask me anything.
Before Miss Minogue finally uses her steal.
-Yeah!
-Yes, yes, yes!
Next it's a battle, it's Team Kylie.
Next pairing...
..Jamie.
And you'll be facing...
..Joe.
# Cos I'm so sick of love songs. #
Professional singer Jamie Johnson
sang to his most important crowd yet.
And with three coaches to choose from,
he went the way of most young men.
-I think I'm going to go with Kylie.
-You are?
# Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. #
16-year-old Irish dancing champion Joe Keegan is used to winning.
I currently am 13th in the world and 5th in Great Britain.
And there was only one coach he wanted to win over.
And this could be happening.
-I can see it happening.
You guys will be singing Counting Stars by OneRepublic.
KYLIE LAUGHS
How are you feeling about this pairing?
-Couldn't have been put against a nicer guy, but...
JAMIE LAUGHS
That's... tough, isn't it?
There's a bit of bromance happening. They get on absolutely fantastically.
As soon as I found out it was Joe, I thought...
He's such a nice guy. He's so easy to get on with.
Really genuine as well.
I don't know what it is about him, he's just...
Really, really cheeky.
He's funny. He's really funny.
But when we get on that battle stage,
I think we're just going to have to put our friendship on hold.
For about two minutes.
Even though this is a battle, I feel like with this kind of song,
I think the more that you guys connect with one another,
the better off I think you're both going to be.
# Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep... #
I think Jamie, he does bring the best out in me.
He pushes me and he is like a second mentor, really.
# I've been, I've been praying hard... #
I'm not a battley person, so I think the main thing for me
is just trying to sort of have that friendship on stage.
# Take that money and watch it burn
# Sing to the rhythm... #
They sound incredible. Way too incredible.
Keep supporting each other. Remember, it is a battle on the day.
But I'll be there cheering you on, so...
-Thank you very much, yeah.
-Thanks a million.
They really are neck and neck, so on the night,
I'm just going to have to go with my heart and make a decision.
Or I could just leave and not have to deal with any of it
because, frankly, it might come to that.
The new best friends are about to become sworn rivals in the ring.
Give it up for Joe Keegan...
SCREAMING AND CHEERING
..against Mr Jamie Johnson.
CHEERING AND WHISTLING
Hello, guys!
Whoo!
# Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
# Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
# Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars
# Yeah, we'll be counting stars
# I see this life like a swinging vine
# Swing my heart across the line
# And my face is flashing signs Seek it out and you shall find
# Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold
# And I don't think the world is sold
# Just doing what we're told
# And I-I-I-I feel something so right
# But doing the wrong thing
# And I-I-I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing
# I could lie, couldn't I, could lie
# Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
# Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
# But baby, I've been I've been praying hard
# Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
# Yeah, whoa
# Take that money Watch it burn
# Sink in the river The lessons are learned
# Everything that kills me makes feel alive
# Lately, I've been I've been losing sleep
# Baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
# Sink in the river The lessons are learned. #
Wow, wow, wow!
-JOE AND JAMIE MUMBLE
-Give it up for Joe and Jamie.
Fellas, come here. Let's have a group hug.
Boys, that was absolutely incredible.
I mean, I know backstage you guys have become very close.
Joe, how was it going up against your buddy Jamie tonight?
I couldn't have thought of anybody on the team that
I wanted to be against least, but...
Yeah, it was absolutely amazing, I think.
Everybody in here was on their feet.
Kylie, did the boys deliver the battle that you'd hoped for?
Oh, are you kidding me? Did they?
I'm shaking. I'm literally shaking with excitement, nerves.
SHE SIGHS That was so good.
Let's see if any of the other coaches can give you any advice.
Will, did you enjoy that?
Um...I want to salute you guys for doing a stellar performance.
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Joe, you were amazing.
And Jamie, you got a lot of energy and a lot of power.
-Ricky?
-Hi, Marvin.
Do you see any similarities in yourself with these two guys?
Well, yeah. I mean, I think they've been in my wardrobe, which...
..we'll have to discuss later on.
Um...during this competition, some of the battles are quite fierce,
but you had a certain amount of humility.
You were looking at each other saying like, "Go on."
He was going like, "Go on, Jamie." He was like, "Go on, Joe."
And it's the ladder of making each other better
and I really feel like you've made each other better
and it's been a great friendship.
Kylie, obviously we can only take one of these guys
through to the knockouts.
Who is the winner of this battle?
AUDIENCE SHOUTS SUGGESTIONS
I'm going to have to push you for a decision.
..is Jamie.
-Jamie!
Congratulations, bud.
Well done, my man.
Of course you can. Give him a hug for sure.
Kylie, how tough is that for you?
Just come here. SHE SNIFFS
Come on, guys. Go and see Kylie.
-Come here, man.
It's not the last I'll be seeing of you.
SHE GROANS
I don't even know what to say.
You both did so well and we knew this would be so, so difficult.
But let's hope that you can sing together again. Yeah?
It was horrible to have to choose either one of them.
And Jamie...
I just think Jamie was that touch more secure
and made me feel a bit more secure about where I can take him.
But I'm almost splitting hairs.
It's like, what could I find to choose one above the other?
The family here.
-He's going to do amazingly well.
-Thank you, yes. Thank you.
I'm happy that I've been able to get through to the knockouts
and I just feel for Joe, but we're such good friends
that I know we will stay in contact, no matter what.
How good were they? That was tough.
Very good. You called it right, though.
Ahh la-la-la-la-la.
This is when you find your dad cries more than your mum.
-Hello, Nan.
-Well done, love.
Next into battle it's Team Will.
My next pairing will be...
..Iesher...
-HE IMITATES OBAMA
-..you're going to be singing against...
Just kidding, he doesn't look like Obama.
..Femi.
WILL LAUGHS
-I like to remind him
all the time I see him that he reminds me
of the President of the United States of America.
Will.i.am seems to have this funny similarity
between me and Barack Obama for some reason.
I guess I might have to start changing my accent
and my attitude a little bit more.
# My Cherie Amour... #
After a tough early life...
Around the age of 19 I became homeless.
..27-year-old Femi Santiago turned things around.
Hey, baby.
And then he turned Will around too.
You were flawless. I didn't hear one bad note.
SHE WARBLES
And this was all it took
for 19-year-old cinema worker Iesher Haughton
to jump the queue onto Team Will.
The first note, I didn't waste no time. I was like...gotta have it.
-Hello.
-How you doing, Little Miss Muffin?
-I'm fine.
-SHE GIGGLES
How's it going, dude?
This song that we've been given is Stop, Look, Listen
by Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross.
# You're alone all the time... #
I forgot just how good Femi was until he sung that song.
It's just an amazing experience, you know, doing all of this.
My background, it's been a bit, you know, ups and downs.
-Roller-coaster.
-Like...?
Um, I had a pretty difficult family situation when I was younger.
I spent about six months on the street.
I had to find my own way to survive at that time and it wasn't easy.
But I've come out of it a much better person.
I want to be able to provide a life for my son, you know,
that I didn't necessarily have the fortune of having.
That's dope.
-Congratulations on your child.
# Why fool yourself? #
Iesher is amazing, but blank.
It's like Mona Lisa painting on all the time.
-Is that you just being cool?
-Um, it's kind of me being me.
When I sing, my face is just like I'm not interested,
but really, I am.
OK, let's do a little practice. Make angry face.
You don't scrunch your eyebrows?
That's it. You have muscles in your face!
THEY LAUGH
There's two people that deserve to go through
and that is Iesher and Femi.
I don't know why I put them together,
now that I see the result.
I made the wrong decision.
I am really nervous.
I have been working more on my performance
so I can connect with the audience and show Will I have what it takes.
My family, my career, the rest of my life is riding on this
and I'm prepared to go on that stage and just give it my all.
OK, it's raw talent versus real experience.
The shy girl who lets her vocals do the talking, Iesher Haughton...
..versus the man who's seen it all and now wants it all,
Femi Santiago.
Let's go...to the top.
# You're alone all the time
# Does it ever puzzle you?
# Have you asked why
# You seem to fall in love
# And out again?
# But do you really ever love or just pretend?
# Oh, baby
# Why fool yourself?
# Don't be afraid to help yourself
# It's never too late
# Stop, look
# Listen to your heart Hear what it's saying
# Love
# Love, love
# Though you try, you can't hide
# All the things you really feel This time decide
# That you will open up, let it in
# There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
# So, jump right in
# Head over heels and fall right in
# It's never too late, too late to
# Stop right now and listen to your heart
# Can't you see it's not too late?
# Stop, look, listen to your heart Hear what it's saying
# Stop and listen to your heart right now
# Listen to your heart Hear what's it's saying
# Love. #
-Femi and Iesher, everybody!
-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow! Just...wow!
That was...
That was so, so amazing. How are you feeling?
-I could really do with some water right now, to be honest.
-Well...
# I said I've got some water Stop... #
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Um, Will, you've got to be pretty pleased with what they just did.
Oh, I'm blown away.
Um, how was it for you?
You just own it when you're up here.
You look so comfortable. You look incredible.
You sound phenomenal. I mean, you're just amazing.
Tried my best.
Wanted to prove to Will that I've got potential.
Did she prove that, Will?
She has more than potential. You've got what it takes.
As does, I would imagine, Femi.
So, this one is a pretty, pretty tough one for you.
Femi is incredible.
It's going to be hard to choose between you two.
I should never have put you guys together.
OK, well, we'll come back to you for your decision in a minute.
-Can I stay here?
-Yeah, of course you can stay there.
-Great. That's great.
Let's go. Or you can stay there.
Um, let's go to Tom.
Which one of them stood out for you the most this evening?
Um, well, I mean, I know Diana Ross fairly well.
-I'm not surprised.
-Oh, Tom!
But I must say this.
And I love Diana Ross. She's a lovely, lovely lady.
-But Iesher brought something...
..fresh.
You know, which wasn't there before.
But the two of you together, honestly, was really something.
And I commend Will for putting you together cos even though...
Even though I know Will doesn't want to lose either one of you,
and I can understand why, but it made for a great duet.
It's like a double-edged sword!
I'm like with nunchucks.
Imagine you've got nunchucks and you're like...
And then the nunchuck hits you in the head like bam!
That's what I'm dealing with right now.
There's a potential nunchuck up inside my cranium.
That was splendid, beautiful, lovely and stylish!
Nice one, Will. Nice one.
Beautiful harmonies. It was delicious.
Time for you, then, Will. Are you ready?
-Can I stand in the middle?
-Can I sit in your chair?
-Ooh!
-In the chair!
I can't see the autocue, but I'm just going to go on-the-fly, OK?
Will?
-"It's time to make your decision."
-It's time to make your decision.
-Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
It's either, like, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.
But do I have anybody to compete with Femi?
Kind of.
Right? Jermain, in a way.
Do I have anybody to compete with Iesher?
I've got nobody to compete with her.
-OK, so, Will?
-So...
AUDIENCE CHANTS
The person moving forward, in hopes that both move forward...
..is Iesher.
I put mascara on. I didn't think I was going to cry.
-Congratulations!
-Well done!
-Well done. Go take a walk with Will.
Give it up for Iesher, everybody!
-Well done, Iesher.
-Thank you. I'll give you a hug.
-I'll give you a kiss.
OK, Femi. So, there's only one coach
who can now keep you in this competition and that is Kylie.
Femi, you are now available for a steal.
Is there anything that you'd like to say?
SHE SHOUTS
They kind of love you in here.
You should sing it to her.
-Is that OK?
-Of course that's OK!
What...?
# I've come from a place quite far away
# In East London where I used to stay
# Yeah, I'm a man but I used to be a boy
SHE LAUGHS
# Now I'm married with a little boy of my own
# Called Shakeel Man, he's so cute, he's my own and
# Well, my family's here and I just don't know what to say
# But just take me
# As your only
# Femi
# Sexy-eyed girl
# Oh, whoa-oh
# Oh, just take me. #
Guess what...
-Welcome to Team Kylie!
-Oh!
I can't believe it! Oh, my God!
Thank you so much. Thank you.
What made you turn for Femi?
I mean, I know he just serenaded you,
so that's probably part of it but...
That's irrelevant. I was always going to turn for you.
So this is the one that you were holding out for.
Yeah, his serenade was just...
the icing on the top.
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.
You are now on Team Kylie.
Femi! Femi! Femi!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
He was my number one.
That was it.
The name I could not speak...
was...
Femi.
I'm so, so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you, too.
This has to be Kylie, cos she smells wonderful
and it can't be Tom or Ricky.
Hey! How are you doing?
-I got your guy.
-Yes, thank you so much.
He is amazing.
He was serenading you. That was awesome.
-He made it up on the spot.
-Amazing.
I knew that wasn't Tom.
So, that's it. No more second chances.
No more safety net. No more steals.
Next back into the ring is Team Tom.
So my next pairing will be...
Leverne...
..and...
Georgia.
# Hallelujah, I just love him so... #
27-year-old Georgia's family have given her a lot to live up to.
Adele is my cousin. She does inspire me. I'm a massive, massive fan.
But she made a name for herself when she joined Team Tom.
# Explosions... #
Leverne Scott-Roberts is a busy single mum of four.
# Needing somebody... #
And she got four more special fans at her blind audition.
And the song is...
..22 by Taylor Swift.
-Hey.
Being paired with Georgia, I wouldn't say I dislike her,
but I feel like we're so opposite to each other.
When you think of 22, what vibe do you get?
I wish I was.
I think it would've been harder
if I was against someone that I was friends with,
where we're not bothered if either goes home, I don't think.
# It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight... #
When I first got the song, I was quite upset.
I thought, "Please let me have that part, please let me have this part."
And I've got none of those parts.
# Yeah, yeah, yeah... #
I think she wants one of my lines.
But she can stick to her lines, I'll stick to my lines and we'll be good.
# We're happy, free, confused... #
It's got to be a good duet, but this is a battle.
I can't help her. She's gonna have to stand on her own two feet.
# I gotta have you. #
I need you guys to, like, feel 22.
-That's the problem.
-Oh, is it?
That's where I am. That's my struggle.
I couldn't connect with the song.
At 22, I was mothering, changing nappies.
I was having quite a traumatic time.
When I was 22, I was rebuilding my life.
So for me, this was the best part of my life, when I was 22.
-Easy.
-I like that.
When you said, like, you were rebuilding your life at 22,
what did you mean by that?
-My marriage broke down, my first marriage.
And I put on a lot of weight.
Coming up to 22, that's when I was starting to change my life.
That's when I lost a lot of weight. I lost four to five stone in total.
Never would've dreamed doing anything like this at all.
No way. This, I would watch this,
you know, and be like "That's so amazing."
I'm going to make you proud. I'm going to do it.
-Let's bring it for Team Tom.
-All right, my love.
-Let's do it.
The two girls are very competitive and it makes for a great battle.
I think they both want it.
Desperately.
-All right, ladies, how are you feeling?
-Yes. Yes?
-Very nervous.
-Nervous? Don't be nervous.
-I'm trying not to.
-Trying to enjoy it. I want to enjoy it.
-Yeah, enjoy it.
-Just feel like you're 22.
-Right?
-Yeah. Definitely.
Try and relax if you can.
-I'm going to try and relax myself.
Phew! May the best girl win.
One had four chairs turning, the other got Tom's heart burning.
Give it up for Georgia.
She's the mum of four with just one big dream.
It's Leverne Scott-Roberts.
# It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
# Make fun of our exes
# Oh-oh, oh-oh
# It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
# To fall in love with strangers Ooh, yeah
# We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
# It's miserable and magical
# Oh, yeah
# Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
# It's time
# Oh-oh Whoo!
# I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22
# Everything will be all right
# If you keep me next to you
# You don't know about me
# But I'll bet you want to
# If we just keep dancing like we're 22
# Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
# Ooh-ooh
# Ooh-ooh-ooh
# I'm feeling, I'm feeling
# 22, hey. #
Yeah! Give it up for Georgia and Leverne!
Georgia, how was that for you, hon?
That was good. Standing next to you, though, I'm a lot better!
Now, a little birdie has told me that that song is pretty special
to you because you and your fiance have been rehearsing to it
every single day before tonight.
There he is over there.
Yeah, he knows all the words, definitely.
Tom, that song, incredible song choice.
-That's why I picked it.
-AUDIENCE LAUGHS
And it made me feel like I was 22.
-Look out!
-Yeah, yeah. Honestly.
You've got a very tough decision so we'll give you some time to think about that.
Kylie, both girls found a connection in that song,
but who did you connect with the most tonight?
You both did a great job.
I would lean towards Georgia for that performance.
OK, Tom, there's no more steals available now,
so this decision is more important than ever.
So over to you, Tom.
Again, I've made it difficult for myself
cos I've put two great singers together.
is...
..Georgia.
Congratulation, Georgia.
You're through to the knockouts. How are you feeling?
I can't talk right now!
Oh, my Gosh.
-No, I'm overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed.
Well, listen, congratulations.
Go and see Tom. Everyone give it up for Georgia.
I'm shaking!
Don't shake. You're there, you're there.
Listen, you done so well, darling.
Well, Leverne, as all of our coaches have used up their steals
unfortunately we're saying goodbye now,
but you've been a fantastic artist, Leverne.
I'd just like to say thank you for an amazing opportunity.
-I've had a fabulous time.
Everyone give it up for Leverne.
-Thank you, Tom.
-You were lovely, so you were.
I think Georgia connected better.
She connected with me, and I think people felt that as well.
-Ah!
-Are you OK?
-Fantastic.
-Did you cry?
-Just a bit, just a bit.
-Did you cry?!
-Just a bit.
THEY All SCREAM
Going back into battle, it's Team Kylie.
With only one place left, they need to stay focused
and really trust in themselves.
Team Kylie final pairing is Gemyni...
..and of course, Jade.
All four coaches wanted 21-year-old Jade Mayjean Peters...
# Something that I found that there was a better... #
..but the boys left empty-handed.
# Sweet, sweet fantasy... #
Twin sister act Gemyni were a two-for-one deal.
And Kylie snapped up a bargain.
The song you girls are going to be singing,
Baby One More Time by Britney Spears.
Oh, OK! Sounds good!
-Hi, ladies!
Hello, Kylie!
Baby One More Time, a pop classic.
They want to not be afraid of just delivering the song.
Ladies, your challenge...
is at some point during the song,
I want you to make your way around the piano.
Have fun with it.
# Oh, oh-oh, baby, yeah...#
Kylie made us strut around the piano I think to make us
relax a little bit and find our inner divas.
# My loneliness
-# Is killing me
-And I... #
The twins, they really went for it.
There was places where they just soared really nicely.
# Hey, yeah... #
I think the most important thing is presence.
And I think Jade's biggest challenge is to try to get in the middle
and kind of steal the show.
# Hit me baby once more time. #
It is quite scary that there is two against just one of me because
it's double the power,
but I'm definitely going to try and put my mark on it.
And she wasn't kidding. At studio rehearsals, Jade turned things up.
# Supposed to know... #
I think Jade is more naturally confident on a stage.
Smoky in her performance and so sassy.
# Oh, baby, baby, I shouldn't... #
Whereas Gemyni find the stage quite challenging.
They have to make the decision, "Are you going, am I going?
Are you going in front of me or am I going in front of you?"
There was a point here where I felt like you girls should have
gone off earlier.
I thought that maybe that would just be second nature with twins.
It's, like, panic.
It panics me, and I'm like, "What is she trying to tell me? I'm in the middle of singing."
-I'm trying to do the twin thing!
-Just do your thing.
-Just...
-Go for it.
Be, you know, be lionesses.
Do it, because it'll just make for a better battle.
Twins that got three chairs turning.
One girl that got four coaches spinning.
It's Gemyni...
..against Jade Mayjean Peters.
-Good luck.
-Go on, girls.
# Ooh
# Oh, baby, baby
# How was I supposed to know
# Somethin' wasn't right, babe
# I shouldn't have let you go
# And now you're out of sight, yeah
# Show me how you want it to be
# Tell me baby
# Cos I need to know now what we've got
# My loneliness is killing me
# And I
# I must confess I still believe
# Still believe
# When I'm not with you I lose my mind
# Give me a sign
# Hit me baby one more time
# Oh, baby, baby How was I supposed to know
# Know, know, know, know
# Oh, pretty baby
# Cos I must confess that my loneliness
# Is killing me now
# Don't you know I still believe
# That you will be here And give me a sign
# Hit me baby one more time. #
Gemyni and Jade Mayjean!
Kylie, did your girls do you proud?
They did, and even from rehearsals
you all took it to the next level which was just what I was hoping for,
OK, Kylie, before you make your decision,
let's go to the other coaches.
Tom, Gemyni, they're not just a duo, but they're twins.
-So, is this a fair fight?
Uh, well, it turned out to be a fair fight, I think.
She gave it her all, didn't she?
Yes. I really enjoyed it.
I was so wrapped up in listening and looking that I'd forgotten,
you know, but it's a battle and somebody's got to go on
and somebody's got to leave.
And I mean, I wasn't aware of it. I was just...
-Dancing.
-..enjoying the whole thing.
Yeah, I was digging it,
so I wouldn't be able to make that decision.
Well, then I'm not going to argue with you, Tom.
I'll move straight on to Ricky.
-Now it's down to you.
Who do you think gave the best overall performance?
Well, hang on, hang on, hang on.
It's not really for me to say,
but whoever Kylie chooses,
-this is the last person on your team, right?
Or people.
-The last act.
-That song launched a massive career.
And it'll do the same for whoever she puts through.
-You can...
-AUDIENCE CHEERS AND CLAPS
And you'll be climbing aboard Kylie's rocket ship.
Kylie, it's even more difficult now
because there are no steals available.
-This is it.
-This is it! I feel even more pressure!
One artist stays, one artist leaves. No more steals.
I know you all want this so badly.
Shh. She has to think, guys!
AUDIENCE LAUGHS
You both have serious fan clubs already.
I know that all three of you want this so badly.
..is Jade.
Thank you so much. I'm not going to let you down.
I promise. I really am not going to let you down.
She is literally shaking in my arms.
I need a hug.
Go! Go hug Kylie! Give it up for Jade Mayjean, everybody.
I know it's really hard.
I'm sorry, girls.
So, girls, as you know, the coaches have used up all their steals,
so this is where we say goodbye to you in the competition.
-Have you enjoyed your time at The Voice?
-We have. Seriously, thank you.
You've been fantastic to have around.
Thank you so much for taking part. Go see Kylie.
Give it up for Gemyni, everybody!
You both were absolutely beautiful up there. Thank you.
Thanks for having us.
Thank you for the experience.
Wow, that was so surreal.
Well done, Kylie.
-You're through.
Oh! Yes!
You're all topped-up.
Team Kylie is complete with seven acts.
The last place on Team Kylie. Ah!
My tank is full of gas.
Next into battle is Team Tom.
Well, my next pairing will be...
Gary...
Back in the '90s, 48-year-old music teacher Gary Poole
was a music maker with successful R&B act Troy.
Older and wiser,
he still had the magic to get Ricky and Tom turning,
and opted for Team Tom.
..and Elesha.
Last year for Elesha Paul Moses it was a blue mohawk,
a spin from Will and high-energy girl duo Nu-Tarna.
This year it was different hair, different act and different coach.
The song is Caught Up.
Elesha has been here before so she's been on that stage.
She's been in a battle. Gary hasn't.
But he has got experience too but in different ways.
So when they come together for that battle,
the experience is going to go...
So, you were on the show before, Elesha?
-I was, yeah.
-What are you gonna do differently this time, then?
Just give it really my all,
and this time hopefully it can shine through.
I think Elesha is a fighter and a warrior
and I think she's not going to give up.
# Oh, oh-oh, oh... #
It isn't a song that I'd normally sing
so I'm definitely slightly out of my comfort zone.
# Mama told me
# Be careful what you do cos karma comes back around... #
I know this song. It's an awesome song.
And I'm not sure Gary is really familiar with it
or know it actually at all.
Gary, I know Usher. I supported him on the OMG tour...
Oh, right.
..so I've seen the way he performs this track.
There's a real, like, ownership that I just feel that you could have
on this performance a bit more.
-MARVIN:
-With Tiny advising ownership,
it's time to head to studio,
but will it be second time lucky for Elesha?
Elesha, how does it feel to be back on this stage again?
It's still that same feeling of...you know, whatever happens happens.
-But I'm really excited to be here again.
I suppose it's this point now that last year I got sent home.
It's quite hard cos...
Oh, I feel like I'm getting really teary now.
I think, like, I want it so much.
In one corner we have Elesha. She's been here before.
In the other corner you've got me. This is my career.
I need to win this battle. No way am I ready to go home yet.
Last time I didn't make it through the battles and I was devastated.
I've just got to give the performance of my life.
I have to win. I have to get through this.
Two big voices, one giant battle. First up, Miss Elesha Paul Moses!
Against Gary Poole.
# I'm the kind of brother
# Been doin' it my way Gettin' my way for years
# In my career
# And every lover, oh
# And out my life I've hit love and left the tears
# Without a care
# Until I met this girl who turned the tables around
# She caught me by surprise Yeah
# I never thought I'd be the one breaking down
# I cant figure it out why
-# I'm so
-Caught up
-# Got me feelin' it
# I don't know what it is but this girl, she got me twisted
# I'm losing control This boy's got a hold on me
# Let me go baby, oh
# Listen, my momma told me
# Be careful who you do cos karma comes back around
# Same ol' song now
# But I was so sure that it wouldn't happen to me
# Cos I know when to put it down
# But I was so wrong
# This girl was mean
# She really turned me-me-me out
# Her body was so tight
# I'm lookin' for her in the daytime with a flashlight
# My homies say this girl is crampin' my style
# Style, I'm so
# Caught up
-# I'm
# I don't know what it is but it seems he's got me twisted
-# Caught up
-Really feelin' it
# I'm losin' control
# This girl's got a hold on me. #
Yeah. Give it up for Gary and Elesha!
Tom, you've got a lot to consider right now.
Yes, I have, yes.
For sure. Let's see if any of the other coaches can help here.
-Will, how was that performance for you?
-That was spectacular.
That song is hard to sing.
It's like this magical key that...
the song is in.
So, you know, Gary, you were able to do your fantastic run there.
I was like "Wow."
And then Elesha, you were at this stage last year. Season 2.
-And...she's better by herself.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. That's cool. Thank you very much.
I know it's a tough one for you all because obviously you know Elesha
from last year, but if you had to put one of these guys through,
who would it be for you tonight?
Gary is fantastic. And that riff just knocked me out.
But because I know what Elesha can do, I would pick Elesha.
Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
That means a lot. That means a lot.
Thank you all. Tom, why did you put these two together?
Because they sound great together.
I mean, I wish you could sing together all the time.
-Aw.
-It would suit me fine, and then I wouldn't have to make a decision.
Tom, unfortunately, there's no more steals available.
You can only take one of the artists through to the knockouts
and now it's time to make that decision, Tom.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God.
Well, the winner of this battle is...
..Gary Poole.
Gary, congratulations, man!
Gary, you never expected that, did you?
No, not at all. Absolutely not.
I definitely didn't think I was going through.
You nailed it. You killed it tonight with that performance.
-Anything you'd like to say to Tom?
I really didn't expect that, actually. Thank you very much.
Gary, you're a gentleman. Congratulations.
Well done. You're through to the knockouts.
Everyone give it up for Gary Poole!
Go and see Tom, Gary. There you go.
That's all right. You deserve it.
RICKY: Well done, Gary.
Now, Elesha, as you know all,
all of our coaches have used all their steals.
You've been absolutely brilliant.
-We've loved having you here on The Voice.
-What do you make of your experience this year?
-Do you know what?
Like, last year and this year, I've had such an awesome time,
and I felt that I did do my best and felt like I did all right, so...
You definitely did, Elesha. We loved you.
Make sure you carry on singing. Everyone give it up for Elesha Paul Moses!
-You did a wonderful job, love.
-You did. On my life, you did.
-WILL.I.AM:
-Seeing Elesha go is heart-wrenching, you know.
She didn't go through the knockouts last year,
and this year, same thing.
The deciding thing for me was
Gary got a run in there that was really, really strong.
Usher doesn't even do it.
# She really turned me-me-me out... #
Like, when he did that run and I heard it, I was like, "What was that?"
-I noticed it and I got it.
-That was great.
-Are you all right?
-So proud.
-Hello, Mum.
Next into battle it's Team Ricky.
My final pairing is Luciee Marie...
..and Jazz.
Only Ricky turned for 16-year-old Essex girl Luciee Marie Closier.
And he was chuffed to bits.
I feel like I've won a competition.
# Does that make me crazy... #
And it was the same story for 18-year-old Jazz Bates-Chambers.
Ricky is one lucky, lucky guy right now.
And the song is Grenade by Bruno Mars.
I love that song.
Luciee Marie, she's like...uber-cute and kind of poppy,
but also you can tell she really wants it.
-Jazz is really fiery.
-And she's, like, really soulful.
-I can't wait to hear them.
-Hello! Hi, ladies!
-So this is Katy.
-Lovely to meet you.
I love Katy B. Like, literally.
I've loved Katy B for, like, ever. She's very unique and different.
And I'm hoping that's what I am as well.
It's such a passionate song.
I think that's such a great opportunity for you
to just show that raw emotion and be yourself as well.
# Easy come, easy go... #
I really enjoyed Luciee and Jazzy's session.
I really like the tone of both of their voices.
# Why weren't they open... #
I just love all the attitude.
I love singers that just have all that kind of feistiness as well.
Because of my personality and how big it is,
I am gonna grab this opportunity with both hands, obviously.
Can I just say, right, I'm a really big fan?
You, like...you've been a massive icon to me
because you've done it all yourself.
I had to do it. She was standing in front of me.
I'm never gonna get that opportunity again.
I didn't know that it was that sort of competition,
to get Katy B's attention.
I don't think Jazz was that happy about it, to be fair.
-So you've got that out of your system.
-OK, cool.
This time, just go for it and let's hear that emotion.
# Like a bullet straight through my... #
Luciee Marie really likes Katy B.
I'm not sure if that really put off Jazz a little bit.
# Understand is, oh
# Grenade for you... #
These things are going to come along and maybe throw you a little bit.
# But you won't do... #
Welcome to the music industry. It's dog eat dog.
Here come the girls,
the teenagers ready to show they can make it in music.
It's Jazz Bates-Chambers...
..versus Luciee Marie Closier.
They're teenagers?
# Easy come, easy go
# That's just how you live, oh
# Take, take, take it all
# But you never give
# Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
# Had your eyes wide open
# Why were they open?
# Gave you all I had
# And you tossed it in the trash
# You tossed it in the trash You did
# To give me all your love is all I ever asked
# Cos what you don't understand is
# I'd catch a grenade for you
# Throw my hand on a blade for you
# I'd jump in front of a train for you
# You know I'd do anything for you
# Oh, oh-oh, oh
# I would go through all this pain
# Take a bullet straight through my brain
# Yes, I would die for you, baby
# But you won't do the same
# If my body was on fire
# You'd watch me burn down in flames
# You said you loved me You're a liar
# Cos you never, ever, ever did, baby
# But, darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you
# But you won't do the same. #
Jazz and Luciee Marie, everybody!
AUDIENCE CHANTS FOR LUCIEE
Luciee! Luciee!
I take it the family are in?
Just a bit.
That was absolutely phenomenal.
I can't explain the feeling. It's amazing.
You really gave it some, Jazz.
Yeah. More than I could've.
There was no holding back in you.
-No, I couldn't hold back. That was it. That was it.
-It's your favourite bit.
-It's the worst bit, isn't it?
It is the worst bit.
I'm in such an awful position.
And I need some help from my mates.
Will, what did you make of it?
I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart right now when I say this,
that was so freaking awesome.
AUDIENCE CHEERS AND CLAPS
Will, if it were you picking,
which one would you be taking to the knockouts?
MAN: Luciee!
Is that your dad?
Yeah, that's my dad!
No, that's awesome!
I love... I love that.
That's like, "Luciee!"
-It's crazy.
You should do a song like that.
Yeah, definitely. Like...
-HE BEATBOXES:
-Luciee!
-BEATBOXES:
-Luciee! OK, you know it.
Kylie, powerful voices for two young girls.
Yeah. This is a moment where frankly I wish I had a steal.
-Yeah, me too.
-I would've stole one of y'all.
That's nice for you girls to hear.
-That is amazing to hear, yeah.
Such a good comment, yeah. Thank you.
OK, Ricky, so there's no more steals available.
You're about to send one of your artists home.
-Can only take one of these girls through to the knockouts.
-So it's time for you to make your decision.
HE BEATBOXES
I just want to say a couple of things
about, first of all, Jazz.
I find her inspiring. I really enjoy every performance she's done.
-You keep getting better.
Luciee Marie, people kind of think you're, like, just sweet and cute,
but you're so much more than that.
Yeah, I've enjoyed every performance I've seen you do as well.
But the winner of this battle is...
..Jazz.
Well done. Well done.
-Well done, Jazz.
-Yeah, I'm with you.
Give it up for Jazz, everybody.
-I don't know what went wrong.
-I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
-I know how hard it is.
-I know. It's fine.
OK, Luciee Marie, as you know, there are no more steals available
so unfortunately this is the end of your time on The Voice.
Thank you so much for being a part of it.
You were absolutely fantastic.
Luciee Marie, everybody!
Final member, that should be a happy thing,
but you know, it's marred by the fact I've had to lose Luciee Marie.
She was awesome.
I didn't want to cry!
Very tough decisions.
Especially when their dads are shouting their name.
You still look beautiful with tears in your eyes.
ALL SCREAM
I've got the last place on Team Ricky.
I'm...going to the knockouts!
So we've reached the end of the battles
and the coaches' knockout teams are complete.
Ricky selected the soulful voice of Jazz,
who stays on his team along with Chris and Max.
Team Tom is fighting fit with Georgia, Melissa and Gary.
Team Will is complete with the addition of James,
Sophie and Iesher.
And Kylie is pinning her hopes on Rachael, Jamie and Jade,
plus her steal...
Welcome to Team Kylie!
The battles are over and now
each of our coaches have just seven artists left
as we head into the knockouts.
There's no more second chances,
as our acts have just one more performance
between heading home or going on to the live shows.
Thanks to our four superstar coaches.
Will.i.am!
Kylie!
Sir Tom Jones!
And Ricky Wilson.
Join us next week for more incredible performances
and game-changing decisions as the coaches continue
their mission to find the voice.
-Have a good night.
-Goodnight.
-Are the people of the UK ready for the knockouts?
I better hope so, cos I sure the hell am.
-It's the toughest test yet.
All right!
You're all breathing, right?
The coaches must complete their live show line-ups.
There's no way of choosing three people and being happy.
There will be no more second chances.
-That's the way I love it.
-Are you ready?
It's time to make your knockout decision.
You thought it was gonna be easy, didn't you?
Yeah, you told me, Tom.
I hate these rules of the show.
It's the Knockout Weekend.
Ricky!
