The Voice UK (2012) s06e08 Episode Script

1 This is it, the battle rounds.
The singers go one-on-one.
I gotta pair them up where they compete against each other.
One stays, one goes home.
It's like live or die.
It's dog eat dog.
But each of us coaches has one steal.
So, once one of the other coaches lets one of their talents go You are now available for a steal.
We can hit that button and steal them.
A steal is a second chance.
This is gonna be beyond epic.
Just wait and see.
Tonight I am fighting for my place in this competition.
I will not go down without a fight.
I didn't realise they were that good.
I'm just gonna have to give it everything I've got.
Oh, my God, it's becoming real now.
The gloves are coming off.
Let the battle commence.
I'm not gonna go down without a fight, without giving it my all.
Oh, my God.
No pressure Please make some noise for your coaches! Let's get ready to battle.
Go, Jen, you're up.
I know.
Don't do this to me right now.
Sorry.
Oh, my God, it's becoming real now.
Like I know it's real.
This is it, the battle rounds, and I have an amazing team.
We are in a very special studio.
You all know that, right? Yeah.
Right? The Beatles have recorded here, Pink Floyd, Amy Winehouse, like so many amazing artists, and so that's why you guys are here.
Are y'all ready? Yes.
I say y'all ready? Yes! Today is like one of the biggest days of my life.
We're being paired with our partner for the battle rounds.
Everyone is really talented, so it's gonna be a difficult challenge.
This battle round is gonna be tough.
I'm ready to pair up somebody.
Y'all ready? Yes.
OK, OK.
David, you will face Y'all ready? .
.
Israel.
Not Israel.
Anybody but Israel.
David is now my rival.
May the best man win.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
The reason I put David and Israel together is because they're a powerhouse.
# Take The blind audition was incredible.
# Take my body # And all I want is Let go! It gives you a little bit of confirmation you're good enough to have not one but three superstars turn around for you.
Jennifer! You gotta listen to your mom, boy.
Jennifer Hudson.
Yes! That was an incredible feeling.
It just gives you chills.
I most definitely felt pressure singing a Jennifer Hudson song.
Coming up to the end of the song no-one's turning.
Just as I got to my last line Jennifer turned round.
I was like, "Thank God.
" When Jennifer got on stage, I was just like, is this person real? Ohh, ohh, ohh, me! And the song you're gonna sing is my song.
It's Your World.
Good luck with that.
Subconsciously thinking, no, not another Jennifer Hudson song.
But it's almost like she trusts us to be able to deliver.
# It's your world-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah You get the ah-ah-ah-ah This song challenges them to step outside of their comfort zone.
World-ah-ah-ah-ah He's nailed it first time and, I'm like, it's getting into my head.
# It's your world-ah-ah-ah-ah I can see it all over David's face.
OK, stop.
He's like, oh, my God, what did I get myself into? You got so much more voice.
You're here.
# It's your world-ah-ah-ah versus It's It's It's your wo-wo-world Do you see the difference? Yeah.
Yeah.
I genuinely felt deflated, like a flat tyre.
It's not often when I've stood on stage and felt inferior, and I do a little bit, if I'm being honest.
All you gotta do is learn the song and don't work, make it your own.
David-tise it, OK? Yeah.
Just realise it, all right? Yeah.
And remember, it's a competition.
I don't know how this is gonna turn out, I really don't.
It's time for a soul shakedown.
It's Israel Allen I don't want to leave here.
I'm gonna just give it my best shot, and hopefully I'll win this.
.
.
versus David Jackson.
I want to get to the live shows, I wanna win the competition, and by doing that I have to beat Israel and I have to win the battle.
Oh, my God.
It's time to do battle.
# Anything that you want from me # Girl, you can get it any time, any place # Whoa, whoa # I'll be your servant, your slave # Your everything you ever wanted from me, baby # Just make one wish and I'll become your genie # Your go-get-it, your "bring it back and give it to you" babe # I'll walk over that rainbow and deliver to you that pot of gold # Got the whole world in a box, wrapped in a bow for you # It's your world, baby # It's your world # And everything in it # It's your world, it's your world, darling # It's your world # Girl, if you ask, it shall be given # It's your wo-o-o-o-o-rld Come on! # Oh, ah-ah-ah! # It's your world-ah-oh-ah! # Ohhhhhh-ohhhhhh! # If it's money you want # It's nothing # Want me to pay your bills # It's nothing # Buy you nice things # It's nothing # Shopping sprees # It's nothing # If you're in need of love # Well, you can have my heart # Even the moon and the stars above # It's nothing # It's nothing # Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it's your world # You can have the whole wide world # Everything in it! # It's your world # I can give you what you want # Anything you need # I'll be the one, I surely do # Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah # Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! It's your world! David and Israel! Tom, you're like that.
Yeah.
There was a lot of energy going on up here.
Yeah.
A lot of singing too.
Yeah, there was.
Who stood out for you? Well, um, it's a hard choice because they both got into it.
You both sang it like you meant it.
Thank you very much.
It would be a hard choice for me, but, um, I think I I think David had more edge.
I don't know "edge" is the right word, I think the person who sounded natural and unreal was Israel.
I just wanna first say they brought so much joy to everyone.
That was the most incredible thing to see.
I'd say it's a fair tie.
Only one person gets to choose.
I know, and Jennifer, that person is you.
Oh, God.
This is so hard.
I mean I still look up to you so I'd love to keep working with you.
That's my dream.
I wanna do what you do.
I've never sang a song like this in my entire life.
And for you to hand us one of your songs, I feel so privileged.
and if I could continue working and keep learning, and, yeah, I'd love to keep working with you, and I hope you pick me.
Oh, God.
Jennifer, who is the winner of the battle? This is so hard for me.
Will, help me.
OK.
Er I'm gonna go with David.
Oh, my God.
Come here.
Come to me, baby, come to me.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Use Use that instrument.
I picked you because you have a voice.
Thank you so much.
Please pick him, please.
OK, Israel, you're now available for a steal.
Come on, y'all, don't let me down.
Please don't let me down.
Please? Come on, hit the button.
Please? Guys, I've come this far to make it.
I know I'm gonna make it with one of you guys.
Will? Will! Hit the button.
Hit the button.
Coaches, time is almost up.
Tom? Oh, Israel, I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
No! You are absolutely incredible.
I'm disappointed, but I can't allow it to distract me.
I've still gotta keep on going, keep pushing.
And do you know what? I'm gonna make it.
David has a more pure voice.
Cos that's what caught my attention, was his voice when I first heard it.
David has the natural talent.
It was his voice that made me turn my chair around and it's his voice that made me make this decision tonight.
This is This is what dreams are made of.
Like Oh, that's so cheesy.
It's true, it is.
That was a great way to start the battles.
Yeah.
But that was hard.
Fantastic.
Absolutely brilliant.
All right, guys, welcome to Team Will.
How are you guys feeling? Good.
Amazing.
Let's get this show started, shall we? Yes.
Yes.
The first pairing is gonna be dynamite.
Shakira, you're gonna be rocking with .
.
Clara.
I was looking at Clara and thinking, "Uh-oh," because she can really sing.
She got four turns, do you know what I mean? Not just one, two, four.
So my first audition, I honestly thought, in my head, that I wasn't going to go through.
But as I finished the song, they all turned.
I couldn't believe it.
It was amazing.
I'll never forget that, ever, in my life.
In the blind auditions I was so, so nervous, but Shakira, she was completely the opposite.
# Grab your legs My blind audition, the audience were clapping and really feeling my vibes.
So it gave me adrenaline.
I was really buzzing.
# Let's go! I felt like I was fighting so hard that I got that chair to turn.
Hey! I'm a rapper, Will's a rapper.
He could take me all the way.
I'm a full-time single mum.
My daughter is amazing, and this could be something that could change our life and my life.
# Go chasing waterfalls So I picked Waterfalls for Shakira and Clara.
Instantly you could tell Will wasn't feeling it.
I wasn't feeling it, Shakira wasn't feeling it.
You're moving too fast.
I can't Can I do that bit again, please? I was coming out of my comfort zone, to the point where I felt like I was in pain because it felt like I couldn't do it justice.
Sorry.
Let's do it again.
Ugh.
I could hear myself not sounding good.
It really broke my heart.
Shakira got really upset.
It made me really anxious.
That was bad.
I'm sitting there in my chair, thinking they're not at their best, and I didn't like that.
It's not the right song.
Sorry, guys.
So I came up with the idea of Bad Blood for them, and it was the total opposite.
# Cos baby, now we've got bad blood, you know it Instant the vibe in the rehearsal room was like, OK, and it was like all right, let's do this.
# All my life I got money and power I was on fire and gonna make it work regardless.
Taupe.
Taupe.
It's gonna be an awesome battle.
I really have to step up my game.
Shakira is such a character.
I'm just worried about her overpowering me.
It's so important to win this battle because this is not just for me but for my daughter.
I wanna her to know the sky's the limit.
I need to be the example for that.
Here we go.
Attitude.
Yes.
# Cos baby, now we got bad blood # You know it used to be mad love # So take a look what you've done # Cos baby, now we got bad blood, hey! # I can't take it back, this is where I'm at # Oh, it is so sad # To think about the good times # Because hey! # Because I-I-I # Now here she goes # Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes # No # You say sorry just for show # So? # If you live like that, you live with ghosts # Give it up, yeah If you love like that # Oh-oh-oh # Oh-oh-oh # Look what you've done to me # Look what you've done # Now we've got bad blood # Now we got problems # I know, I know, I know we do # And I don't think we can solve them # We got really big problems # Hey! Now we've got bad blood! Hey! All right, Shakira.
That was awesome.
How was it for you? It was good.
I was bustin' up my lip with the mic and all sorts.
I've got bad blood for true.
Did you enjoy it? Yeah, I did, I loved it.
Good.
Clara? It was such an experience.
It was amazing, wasn't it? It was so good.
Gavin, what did you think? I thought they were unbelievable.
Before it even began, the way that Shakira, the way you stood there, I felt you were ready for action.
You were on.
Then Clara, you sang beautifully.
The vibe between you is so strong.
So unlucky, Will.
So, Will, how do you go about deciding now? We all love being inside your head for a few minutes.
Is there any room in there? So, er, Shakira, thank you for bringing hip hop, rhyming, stage presence to a show like this, so thank you for that.
Thank you.
Clara, um, you're an awesome artist.
The song we were singing in rehearsal, that wasn't the best.
We picked the perfect song, and I was blown away with today's performance, it was fantastic.
Will, who's the winner of the battle? JHud is an example of winning ain't everything.
She came seventh.
Seventh.
And it took her to the next level by winning all these kind of awards and stuff.
You know what I'm sayin'? So, the person that has to go home, JHud is the example.
But the person going through .
.
Clara.
Thanks, Clara.
Thank you.
Well done.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
OK, Shakira, you're now available for a steal.
Guys? Guys? I swear to you, this girl Shakira's awesome.
If you guys wanna have some different type of weapons in your arsenal, there's bazookas, there's missiles, and then you have Shakira.
Boom, she's gonna blow up.
Coaches, your time is almost up.
OK, Shakira, I'm so, so sorry.
It's such a shame.
Thank you for taking part.
Thank you.
Give her a massive round of applause.
Shakira! There's a wide opportunity for you to carve your own name.
I wouldn't have won.
You've gotten further than I would have done on this show.
Honestly.
Yeah.
Thank you, Will.
I love you.
I didn't see how hard it was gonna be comin' like.
It's really hard.
Yeah.
You start thinking, what do I do now? Maybe this was the end of the journey for me.
Oh, my God.
I just wanna close my eyes or something.
It's bad.
A steal is like a lifeline for the singers, but then each of us coaches has only has one steal.
That's the hardest part.
Well done, Clara.
Will, nice job.
They sounded great together.
Are you nervous? Yeah.
Welcome to Team Gavin.
We're at Abbey Road.
It's obviously a famous studio.
I was lucky enough to make a record here, and I grew up just down the road so it's perfect for me.
OK, team, the first pairing is Bosie .
.
up against Keziah.
Oooh.
I'm excited.
I put Bosie together with Keziah because they both have this other-worldly quality.
When my time comes around My blind audition went as well as it could go, really.
And I got four turns.
I was just in shock.
I think The Voice has been really important to me because I haven't performed as much as other singers.
It's a massive confidence boost for my singing.
I'm like wow, people like this.
I'm focusing on my singing, 100 percent.
So I left university to just concentrate on music.
At the blinds I think we were quite, I'm gonna say nervous.
We've been a duo for one year.
We play for small venues.
Yes! Nothing compared to this stage, it's in a whole other league.
We're battling against someone that got four chair turns.
We only got the one so it's the added pressure.
And the song I chose for you guys to sing is Why by Annie Lenox.
They didn't know the song when they first heard it.
They knew it a bit.
It kind of fell apart halfway through.
They didn't do themselves justice seeing as how good they are.
I've struggled with the song quite a bit.
You're trying too hard.
Something about it was a little bit too measured.
OK.
We've come this far that we're not giving up just now.
Bosie vs Keziah.
To the death.
To the death.
I'm actually feeling really nervous about the battle.
Tonight I've got to forget about Bosie, just concentrate on me and perform to my best ability.
We're gonna give everything we've got, but unfortunately there can only be one winner.
We ain't going home.
# How many times do I have to try to tell you # That I'm sorry for the things I've done # I've done # But when I start to try to tell you # That's when you have to tell me # Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun # Just begun # Mmmm # I tell myself too many times # Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut # That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words # That keep on falling from your mouth # Falling from your mouth # Falling from your mouth # Tell me # Why # It's OK # Why # Why # These are the years that we have spent # And this is what they represent # This is how I feel # Do you know how I feel? Why Jennifer, what did you think? It was amazing.
It was like flawless almost.
I think y'all should work together, all together.
Right.
It was really good.
Can I just say that I am so proud of both acts being on my team.
I think I was the only person that turned for Bosie, and I turned because you sound so beautiful together.
The way you sound together, the way you blend really is something special.
Thank you.
Very special.
Keziah, everybody turned for you because you're just, like, quite extraordinary, something else, and you really did yourself great justice tonight.
OK, Gavin, so it's time to make your decision.
Gavin, who is the winner of the battle? Keziah.
I knew this battle was gonna be hard, and it was, it was tough.
This show has given me the confidence to think maybe I can do this.
OK, guys, you are now available for a steal.
This does feel uphill because none of you three coaches turned for them, but I hope you hear the quality and the work they've put in.
They didn't even know that song.
It was hard for me to let them go, so I hope that you guys let them continue cos they deserve it.
Guys, I'm so sorry.
Thank you so, so much.
That was so beautiful.
Have you had a good time? Honestly, it's been absolutely amazing.
Thank you, Gavin, and everyone.
Of course we're gutted.
We would've loved to go through.
It was a 50-50 chance.
I thought ourselves and Keziah sang very well.
I think the talent in this competition is so strong.
I enjoyed every second of it.
Her voice is so good.
I wanted her.
I know.
And I'm nearly sorry.
I'm interested to see who you guys keep and who you guys get rid of.
I'm trying to steal somebody from Tom's team.
Somebody's really awesome over there.
But Tom's probably gonna keep them.
Yeah.
The battles are tense cos you cut your team in half, and you've only got one steal.
So you've got to try and make the most of it.
So how's everybody feeling? Happy to be on Team Tom? Yes! So excited to see Tom again.
Of course The Beatles recorded here.
Outside is the famous zebra crossing.
I crossed it in 1960-something.
I'll be pairing Charlie and Dannii.
When Tom announced that I was paired up with Charlie, I was like mmm, OK.
He's cool.
Charlie has got this high falsetto.
He can go in and out of it very easily.
Baby! I really want to be out on stage, singing to people.
Whoa-o-o-oh It's made me so determined to make sure this happens.
It's your vocal talent that's excellent.
There's gonna be a point in time where somebody, like, has to be stolen.
I would steal you.
Since my blind audition, things have changed.
I ran out of money and I've had to move back home, so actually this now means even more to me because I really need it to work.
Before I went on stage for my blind audition, I was so nervous.
# My tears flow like the ocean As we're fallin' in the breeze So when Tom turned round, I was just like, "Oh, my God.
" I didn't wanna let you go.
You're a little pitchy but you have great potential.
How do you feel about the pairing? Good.
We'll get on just fine.
You'll know when we get on too well cos I'll have blue lipstick over me.
Who do you think I am? They flirt.
Which is a good thing, but you gotta be careful.
Don't let it overpower the song.
What about the song? Do you like it? We've been given Justin Timberlake, Can't Stop The Feeling.
Do you wanna try it? OK.
Oh, God.
The rehearsal in Abbey Road went horrifically.
I'm already feeling uncomfortable.
It's not my genre, not my thing.
# Nowhere to hide when I'm holding you close # When we move It's going too high then.
It's not a song that suits a girl.
Finding the key for her is hard.
# Sunshine in my pocket Got that good soul in my feet I think it's too low.
Yeah.
I was just like, no, I haven't got this.
I'm going home, mate, I'm going home.
Got a bit of proving to do.
Charlie Drew This means actually so much to me.
To do what I feel like I was genuinely put on this earth to do.
.
.
versus Dannii Barnes.
I just hope Tom sees a progression, because I feel like as long as I'm progressing, then I'm not letting myself down and I'm not letting him down.
Whoo! # I got this feeling inside my bones # It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on # All through my city # All through my home # We're flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone # I got that sunshine in my pocket # Got that good soul in my feet # I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops # I can't take my eyes up off it # Moving so phenomenally # Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop # And under the lights where everything goes # Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close # When we move # Well, you already know, yeah! # So just imagine # Wow! # I got this feelin' # I got this feelin' # All right now # Got the feelin' # You got the feelin', oh, oh, oh! # Got this feelin' in my body I got this feelin' in my body! Charlie and Dannii, everyone.
Jennifer, do you think Tom has a tough decision on his hands with these two? I really do.
I mean, when he opened his mouth, I was like, OK, I'm going with you, then when she opened hers, I'm like, oh.
But I think you guys are so good, both of you, that I must say.
So y'all did a very good job.
What I liked, it made for a great duet, and of course it's gonna make it harder for me because you are so good, the two of you.
Charlie! OK, Tom, it's time for you to make your decision.
Come on, come on.
Tom, who is the winner of the battle? Charlie! OK, OK.
OK.
It's really close, you know, because the both of you were really, really good.
So it's a tough one, it really is.
Ah.
It's got to be It's gotta be Dannii.
Well done.
Congratulations.
You remain on Team Tom.
Dannii, everyone.
All right, love? Thank you so much.
You did a great job.
Really.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Whoo! OK, Charlie, you're now available for a steal.
There you go.
Steal! Steal! Steal! Is there anything you'd like to say? I just don't feel like I'm ready to go.
I think I've got a lot more to provide.
I think somebody should definitely steal you, honestly.
Charlie, I'm so, so sorry, but there's been no steal for you this evening.
Thank you so much.
Have you enjoyed it? I've had a great time, it's been fantastic.
What I liked about Charlie from the blinds is that his voice was flawless.
I just had my eye out on a certain person, and each one of us has only one steal.
It was a great job, you did a great job, honestly.
Devastated, obviously.
But Dannii smashed it and so I just wish her the best of luck and I'll be watching at home.
Well done, gorgeous.
I'm just feeling crazy.
I don't even know how I'm feeling.
Dannii is a raw talent, and the tone of her voice is really good.
I mean she's strong.
Yeah, she's great.
Here we go, get ready for Team Gavin.
Just enjoy yourself.
Enjoy yourself.
Let's do what we've been doing.
We can do it.
Got this.
Battling against Millicent.
I think she's probably the most similar style to me in the group.
# Where is love So when Gavin turned, I couldn't even imagine it being real, but it actually happened, so, wow.
I think that your voice is really dynamic.
Thank you so much.
It's not sunk in yet properly.
So at the blind auditions, I didn't feel like I gave my best performance.
# Baby, when you call me you can call My nerves did get the better of me, which I didn't think they would.
Call me I've just gotta make sure I smash it this time round, otherwise I'll be disappointed in myself a little bit, I think.
It is a battle, but I don't wanna think about that, I wanna think about two good singers.
With Max and Millicent, because they're similar, there's only room for one person of that style to go through.
# Just a little rush I really cannot go back to waiting on tables.
I'm gonna have to bring out the big guns.
Millie's got a sick voice.
If anything, it'll just make me perform better, and it would just kind of spur me on to give more.
Um, you're so connected, it's really good.
All I'd say is for you is keep connected, with your eyes.
It's small but it's big.
More connection, I get ya.
That was really good.
Well done, great.
To get past this battle that's just like one step closer to that record deal, and that is the dream.
I'm gonna have to give it everything I've got.
I got another opportunity to show the world what I'm about.
I've just gotta make sure that I absolutely kill it and do what I know I can do.
# I don't know what you're looking for # You haven't found it, baby, that's for sure # You rip me up and spread me all around # In the dust of the deed of time # This is not a case of lust you see # It's not a matter of you versus me # It's fine the way you want me on my own # But in the end it's always me alone # I'm losing my favourite game # You're losing your mind again # I'm losing my baby # Losing my favourite game # I had a vision I could turn you right # A stupid mission and a lethal fight # I should have seen it when my hope was new # My heart is black, my body is blue # I'm losing my favourite game # Losing my favourite game # You're losing your mind again # I've tried # But you're still the same # I've tried # I'm losing my favourite You're losing a saviour and a saint! How magnificent was that? Ooh! Will, what did you think? The type of talent you guys are is the reason why I do this show all the time.
Millicent, you have so much personality in your voice, it's so freakin' awesome.
And then, Max, you are one of those proper weirdos.
Yeah, I'm a bit weird.
You hear me? Without trying.
I try and keep my weirdness down to a level.
Don't.
Yeah? OK.
You turn it all the way up.
Sweet.
Whoo.
The weird thing about Millicent and Max is that they have jelled so much that I wish they were a duo.
It sounds like it.
Millicent and Max.
Max and Millicent.
MM.
M & M.
M & M.
I just love you both.
So I just say well done, and I hope that you both are in the show.
Guys, is there anything that you'd like to say? I wanna do this every weekend, I wanna do this every day, I wanna do this every hour.
I'm always gonna find a way to do music cos I love it.
I've just come out here to do a good performance with Millie, make sure my song's the best as possible.
I'd love to go through, it'd be great.
Gavin, it is down to you.
It's time for you to make your decision.
OK, Gavin, who is the winner of the battle? Max.
Max.
I think she's worth a steal.
She's different.
She's good.
If you didn't pick her, I was going to.
Right, Millicent, you are now available for a steal.
Will, it's you all day.
I would 100 percent put everything into anything that anyone gave me.
Will? What are you waiting for? It's you, Will.
Whatever song, whatever I love her, I do.
Come on.
Guys, time's almost up.
I will go far.
Will, that's your style all day.
You know it is.
Guys, you're out of time.
Millicent, I'm so, so sorry.
It's all right.
I've had a great time anyway, and Gavin's got himself a brill team.
Yeah, you'll see me in the future, hopefully.
I don't doubt it at all.
Please put your hands together one more time for Millicent.
I mean it would have been nice to carry on in the competition.
I am a little bit gutted about it, but I lost to a great competitor.
I hate it when the good ones slip through the cracks like that, but I got my eye on other people.
Max edged it out because I think that he's just, he's got something about himself that's really extra special.
I love you.
Listen, right They're so good together.
Yeah, dude, that guy's the real deal, bro.
He really is.
Yeah.
Are you ready for another round? She didn't even say hi to him.
Who is the winner of the battle? This decision's hard.
Big decisions to make.
Oh, it's so tough.
You have some great people.
I got the best team, no question.
I've got the best team.
Only one person wins.
I got the winner.
That will be me.
Jamie, you will battle against .
.
Stacey.
It was a real sigh of relief because he's such a lovely person, but now I need to kind of switch my brain to the fact he's my opponent.
You two are going to sing Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue.
OK.
I'm gonna see what y'all are gonna do with this now.
It's quite nerve-wracking to go against Stacey because she's amazing.
At the blind auditions, it was a real surreal moment.
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance What's your name? Stacey.
I'm 27 years old.
What do you do for a living? I'm a music teacher in a primary school.
Ah.
Prior to the blind auditions, my background was church and little gigs here and there.
There's never been pressure to actually compete with somebody.
Now I have to think differently.
Jamie is fantastic.
Very passionate.
You can see it in his face.
# Why don't you be you? And I'll be me, yeah That point in the show for me was amazing.
It was such a crazy experience.
To know that my family were on the side of the stage watching my dream come true in front of their eyes was just incredible.
We're all so close.
It's like a team.
What are you looking for in a coach? Just someone who believes in me.
Um I did get so emotional on stage.
It Yeah, I'm an emotional person.
How are you all feeling? Good, yeah.
I wanna see what you guys got so far.
That's it.
All right, sorry.
I thought we were singing first.
Sorry, OK.
I'll just go right in for it.
He was nervous, and that was very obvious.
# You were lookin' at me like you've wanted to stay # When I saw you yesterday But then, when he started to perform and sing, it helped him because it gave his singing the edge.
# I'll see you # No-one but you got me feelin' this way # There's so much we can't explain # Maybe we're helping each other escape Can I stop you right there? Already I feel your tension, I feel your energy, I feel all of that.
And I don't feel anything.
Like I hear you but I don't feel anything.
I wanna feel your presence, not just hear words.
They should mean something.
I'm often told that I'm quite like this.
That can come across like she's not bothered, but that is so far from the truth.
It's hard to connect because you don't feel connected.
Stacey didn't feel present, she's just trying to grip the notes.
I need her to show that passion.
It's in good shape but just keep those things in mind.
To bring the passion out of her, oh, that's gonna be a serious battle.
Oh, my God.
I think I've been given a serious push, and I love that.
I thought I had it figured out, but I don't.
I am petrified, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm petrified.
I just need to start believing in myself and know that I can do it.
It's Stacey Skeete I am pretty confident in what I can do.
I have to look at every single line of the song and put myself in there.
Wow.
The thing I need to do is hear Jennifer say, "That's what I wanted.
" I don't wanna hear anything else.
.
.
battling Jamie Miller.
I'm just gonna try and do everything I can to get Jennifer to pick me to go forward.
I'm gonna fight for my place on Team JHud.
She didn't even say hi to him.
Fierce.
I've been waiting for this.
# You were looking at me like you wanted to stay # When I saw you yesterday # I'm not wasting your time, I'm not playing no game # I see you # Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold? # We don't really need to know # Cos you're here with me now, I don't want you to go # You're here with me now, I don't want you to go # Maybe we're perfect strangers # Maybe it's not forever # Maybe the night will change us # Maybe we'll stay together # Maybe we'll walk away # Maybe we'll realise # We're only human # Maybe we don't need no reason why # Come on, come on, come over # No-one but you got me feeling this way # There's so much we can't explain # You're here with me now, I don't want you to go # You're here with me now, I don't want you to go # Maybe we're perfect strangers # Maybe it's not forever # Maybe the night will change # Maybe we'll stay together # Maybe we'll walk away # Maybe we'll realise # We're only human # Maybe we don't need no reason why # Come on, come on, come over # Maybe we don't need no reason why Come on, come on, come over! Stacey and Jamie.
Whoo! That was good.
Are you OK? Oh.
I'm good.
OK, you breathe a minute.
Breathe, breathe.
Er, Gavin? Well, first off I'll start with Stacey.
Incredible presence.
I mean you're so powerful.
What I loved is how, through the song, you softened.
I like when that happened because it showed a dynamic range.
Thank you.
I think, Jamie, your voice really pulls you through and the whole crowd enjoyed it, so Cheers, thank you.
Whoo! Stacey, you stood there like a fierce soul, and then little old Jamie comes out, skipping down the little slope, and he's like, "Hi.
" And you stood there like, "Whatever.
" I'm like holy moly.
Then y'all started singing and it was beautiful.
And then Jamie, your little dance moves, I wish you did that more.
You was awesome.
Thank you.
Jennifer, when you have to choose between these two, what do you focus on to make your decision? Well, you know, the name of the show is The Voice and so that's always first at JHud Productions, and then the next thing we look for is people that are passionate.
I don't care what you do, do it with a passion, and that is what is gonna get you ahead and keep you doing what you love to do.
Is there anything you would like to add? It's just an amazing experience being here.
I didn't ever think I'd get this far, so I just wanna thank Jennifer for I just wanna thank you for believing in me.
You've really brought out my confidence.
I've worked so hard for this, since I was such a little girl, and it would mean the world to me.
Jennifer, who is the winner of the battle? I gotta go with Jamie.
Whoo! You want me to talk? Thank you so much.
You've got a voice on you, babe.
You've got a voice on you, I am here to tell you that.
Thank you so much.
OK, Stacey, you're now available for a steal.
Yes.
Come on! Come on, Gavin! Is there anything you'd like to say to the coaches? This is it, this is the journey, and I don't think you've seen the best of Stacey Skeete yet.
Come on, Stacey! Will! Will! Tom! Look at her! Time's almost up, coaches.
Steal! Steal! Stacey, I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
So sorry.
That's OK.
Thank you so much for getting me this far.
Thank you, Jennifer.
I can't believe this is the last we're gonna see of you.
It won't be.
It won't be.
You look gorgeous, you have the presence, the talent.
Just continue to show your passion.
Keep going.
I will.
Don't ever stop.
This is definitely not the end, it's only made me more determined.
He snuck up on here.
She softened.
She did, yeah.
But you gotta show you want it.
You gotta show you want it.
I can't believe it, honestly.
It's so amazing.
I'm overwhelmed so much.
So proud.
So proud.
It's sad.
You know, it's sad for the people that don't go through.
That's a long time to stand there and be rejected.
And be stared at.
You only get one steal, so we're very strategic and careful.
Truly Ford.
Hey.
Oh, you got Truly? I got Truly.
Head to head with Hadleigh.
My name's Hadleigh Ford, I'm 38, and I'm a primary school teacher.
Good morning, 3F.
# Start to forget How my heart gets torn When Gavin turned, obviously inside it was like an explosion of happiness.
I was like wow, this is amazing, I've got that turn.
My real full name is Truly Scrumptious Claire Ford Ghatauray.
I don't know where we are I wanted to be on Gavin's team from the start.
As soon as I heard he was gonna be a coach, I was like Gavin all the way.
Now I'm in the battle, I'm gonna fight cos I don't wanna leave.
You'll be performing Fleetwood Mac's You Can Go Your Own Way.
Oh.
Sick.
I love that song so much.
I gave Truly and Hadleigh the song You Can Go Your Own Way cos it's a perfect duet.
# You can go your own way # Go your own way And I think their voices suited each other and I think it's just a really great battle pairing.
It's the most intense conversation between two lovers who are trying to figure it out what they should do, so please think about the words.
Because that's really important.
It's a love song.
We are talking to each other, almost like an argument.
It's quite tough for me because I'm a happily married man.
I'm OK with the song, the struggle is putting myself in this acting role.
You shouldn't smile so much.
She's being a meanie.
You'd really hate her if she left you and you were with her, right? Either of them can win it.
It's gonna be a great opportunity for someone to steal someone great, that's all I know.
I'm gonna sing my heart out.
I just wanna get through so bad.
Truly's fantastic, yeah.
She's formidable, definitely.
Battling is not a natural thing for me, but I don't wanna go home.
It's the battle of the Fords.
Truly Ford vs Hadleigh Ford.
# Loving you, it isn't the right thing to do # How can I when you won't take it from me # You can go your own way # Go your own way # You can call it another lonely day # You can go your own way # Go your own way # Tell me why # Why everything turned around # Opened up, everything's waiting for you # You can go your own way # Go your own way # You can go your own way # Go your own way You can call it another lonely day! Truly and Hadleigh.
Tom, let's go to you first.
You can tell when people are enjoying what they're singing, and you two looked like you were really into it and enjoying it, so that to me is it.
Truly, you're like truly dope.
You have presence.
If I had to choose, I'd have to go with Miss Truly over here.
You were awesome.
Thank you.
You were too.
I'm not saying you're not awesome.
But she's just got this star power about her.
Thank you.
Yeah.
So, Gavin, why that song for these two? I thought it would fit together, it'd really fit together well and bring out the best in both of them.
And I really felt it from them.
I thought they both stepped up and did a great job.
OK, Gavin, it's time for you to make your decision.
Who is the winner of the battle? The winner of this battle is Truly.
Yes! Bye, Truly.
OK, Hadleigh, you're now available for a steal.
Steal! Hadleigh, I'm sorry, no steal this evening.
Have you enjoyed it? I've had an amazing time, I really have had an amazing time.
Good.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
Truly is formidable, so it was just unfortunate for Hadleigh that he's really excellent but she's insanely excellent.
She can go far.
She will go far.
Yeah, she's dope.
She's dope.
Grrr.
You got a good one, Gavin, you've got a good one.
Next into battle, it's Team Will.
I'm Victoria Kerley, I'm 16 years old, and I'm from Wales.
The blind audition was insane.
# I won't lie to you I remember looking to my family and, like, doing a little dance move.
It was weird for me because I'm a normal kid.
It's so different from what I'm used to.
# I see what's on my mind My name is Lia White.
I'm 17, and I'm from Nottingham.
Now I'm countin' down the seconds till At the blinds Will mentioned that I was a little bit wobbly.
I think it was because I was so nervous.
There's a lot of other singers.
The bar is up here.
Yeah.
If you pick me, I'm gonna try my best to get you where you wanna be.
That's something I really need to work on.
Letting myself focus and not let the nerves get the better of me.
The song that you're gonna be singing is Final Song by MO.
No.
Yo, fresh, right? Pshht! I don't know it.
I don't know that song.
I've never heard this song before, so having to sing it in front of Will and Victoria is nerve-racking because I know that I'm not confident with it yet.
# Don't let this be our final song I don't know if it was there or not.
Even though she doesn't even know the song, she's actually, like, learnt it with ten minutes.
I'm just like, oh gosh, I've really got to step up my game now.
It's a battle.
You've gotta fight for it.
So don't let this be our final song It's not really my vibe that much, like the pop kind of thing.
It's not really my sort of vibe either.
Like, I like alternative sort of music.
The problem we have is if I were to pick the song for you, she wouldn't have liked it.
Yeah.
If I were to pick it for her, you wouldn't have liked it.
That's what challenges are for.
In the industry you're not always gonna be comfortable.
So it's good that I'm doing this song cos it's pushing me.
Just gotta embrace it and just do my best with it, I guess.
It would mean so much for me to win this battle.
I definitely will come out fighting.
I wanna win this battle, I really wanna win.
I need to win.
It's not a want any more, it's a need.
Come on! # Please, won't you wait? Won't you stay? # At least until the sun goes down # When you're gone, I lose faith # I lose everything I have found # Heart strings, violins # That's what I hear when you're by my side # And when you're gone the music go-o-oes # I lose my rhythm, lose my so-o-oul # So hear me out before you # Say the night is over # I want you to know # All that # We gotta, gotta carry on # Don't let this be our final song, hey! # Don't let this be our final song # Hey! # So hear me out before you say the night is over # I want you to know # That we gotta carry on # Don't let this be our final song Hey! # Ooh-ooh-ooh Hey! # Underneath those disco lights, it's all right # We can make the perfect sound # Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh # Take us to a higher ground # Whatever you do, just don't look down # Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh # Underneath the disco lights # It's all right Don't let this be our final song Tom, what did you think? I enjoyed it for a start-off.
I think Victoria, she sounded more confident.
I think, Lia, I think you were a little nervous there.
I thought together you did a wonderful job.
First off I wanna tell them thank you for bearing with the song choice.
I know it wasn't either of your style.
At 17, I would've been whoopin' and hollerin', "How come I can't sing what I wanna sing?" But I wanna thank you guys for givin' it all you had, so it was wonderful.
Will, who is the winner of the battle? When I look at you guys on the screen, I'm like, wow, my decision, this decision's hard.
This is just one moment in time in your career.
If it was up to me, you guys would be with me all the way through, right? But I have to pick.
And the person that I'm picking is .
.
Lia White.
What's going through your head right now? I didn't expect that at all.
Why? Why didn't you expect it? I think everyone wanted Victoria, so Ahh I'm excited, I'm excited.
I'm ready to go.
Better.
So cool.
Good luck.
Congratulations.
One more time, please, for Lia.
When Will said my name, I was kinda like what? Because it seemed like the crowd really liked and wanted Victoria.
So at that moment when he said my name, I was like, wow.
Victoria, you're now available for a steal.
Yes! Yeah, Tom! Tom Jones.
I wanna cry for her.
Wow.
There was no wasting time there, Tom.
No.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
Oh.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Tom, did you always know, if she didn't go through, that you'd pick her? Yes.
So congratulations.
You totally deserve it.
Yay! You now go on Team Tom.
Victoria, everyone.
Thank you.
We've only got one steal, and sometimes you think, well, shall I wait, shall I wait? But I'm thrilled because I think I used it with the best talent I heard.
It's so emotional when you look over there.
I'm in the tear-jerker seat.
Yeah.
Well done.
It's so sweet.
It's everything to them.
You made her feel really good.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
He pushed that button so quickly, and I wasn't expecting it at all.
Yeah, she's good.
Now I've just gotta show Tom that, like, he didn't make a mistake by stealing me.
Like he didn't waste that steal.
I've gotta bring it now.
Are you ready for another round? Yes! Then let's get ready to battle.
How do you feel, Tom? Me? Do you know who you're gonna go with? It's a tough one, you know? They're both really strong.
I'm Lucy Kane, I'm 20 years old, and I'm from Hertfordshire.
My mum is a model-turned actress, Linda Lusardi, and my dad is actor Sam Kane.
So this is a chance for me to step away from my parents and be myself.
# So swee-ee-eetly At my blind audition, I was just so shocked and so overwhelmed, it was amazing.
I was like, oh, my God, Tom Jones has turned around for me.
Oh.
It was just unbelievable.
Tom Jones.
I know.
It doesn't get any better, does it, really? No.
Out of this world.
How are you feeling about the battle? I'm so nervous.
Nadine's brilliant, so obviously that's a bit of a worry as well.
You may be by yourself My name is Nadine McGhee, I'm 18 years old, and I work in a call centre.
It's just mad how I can be sitting in a call centre one day, from nine to five, the next day I'm, like, singing in front of Tom Jones.
It's like, what is happening? Literally, what is actually happening? It still hasn't sunk in yet.
Thank you.
OK, so the song you'll be singing will be Still Falling For You, Ellie Goulding.
Ooh.
No pressure.
All right? I am pretty worried cos it's a bit different to what I'd normally sing, but I'll throw myself in there.
I'm excited for it.
# You are all for me # I'm in # Just like that # All I breathe You are all I feel I think it sounds a bit rushed.
You're singing it too much.
It's not that kind of song, you know? Yes.
Sing it as simple as possible, if you like.
Well, they're both sweet girls and they were really trying, but in this case it wasn't doing them any favours.
# All I breathe # All I feel Sorry to stop you, but it's not working for you.
It's not.
It wasn't letting them shine, either one of them.
So I had to think again.
I've come up with another song for you I hope that you like.
Time After Time.
Oh, I know that song.
Cyndi Lauper.
Oh.
Are you happy? Are you happy with it? Yeah.
Do you wanna try it? Yeah.
Tom's made the right decision, he's doing the best for us.
Even though one of us is gonna win at the end, he wants us to feel comfortable.
This suits us both better.
He's a legend, so whatever he says goes.
What do you think? It feels so much better.
Take the song and work on it.
It's gonna make for a great battle.
I genuinely really like Lucy, but she is an opponent and I am here to win.
I wanna win this and move on to the next stage of the competition.
I will do whatever I can to make sure I'm the one that gets through.
# Lying in my bed I hear # The clock tick # And think of you # Caught up in circles # Confusion is nothing new # Then you say, go slow # I fall behind # The second hand unwinds # If you're lost you can look and you will find me # Time after time # If you fall I will catch you # I will be waiting # Time after time # After my picture fades # And darkness has turned to grey # Watching through windows # You're wondering if I'm OK # Secrets stolen # From deep inside # The drum beats out of time # If you're lost you can look and you will find me # Time after time # Ooh-ooh-ooh # If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting, yeah # Time after time # Time after Time Jennifer, what did you think? Did you think the girls did the song justice? This is actually one of my favourite songs.
I enjoyed what you ladies did with it, but for different reasons.
Lucy, I enjoyed your voice, and then you, your passion.
Vocally, you were pulling me in and, yeah, outfits is everything.
I have to say that.
That's so nice.
If I had to choose, I don't know.
Glad it ain't on me but on Tom.
You were a little nervous, the both of you, I must say, but that's understandable cos it's a big show and a big night.
Lucy, you're very professional, you can tell that you've taken lessons, and then Nadine has just got this very honest, beautiful tone and a lot of passion in the way you sing.
So whichever way I go, I just want the both of you to know that you did a wonderful job, that's the truth.
Tom, it is time for you to make the decision.
Yeah.
Who is the winner of the battle? Lucy! Nadine! Um OK.
The one that's ringing true to me is, er, Nadine.
Congratulations.
I I'm such a crier.
Thank you so much, Tom.
I love him, I do.
How are you? Thank you so much.
It's not over yet.
It's not over.
OK, Lucy, you are now available for a steal.
Please, I will work so hard, I promise, if you give me this opportunity.
OK, time is almost up, coaches.
I mean she's strong.
Come on, Jennifer, steal her! I'm so sorry.
I know how much this meant to you.
Thank you so much.
Please show her some love.
It's Lucy, everyone.
You've got your whole life ahead of you.
And you will make it, honestly.
I know you will.
Do you know what? I'll take away this experience, it's been so amazing.
I'm so grateful.
It was her passion that got me, Nadine.
It's like oof! Yeah.
And the tone.
She's got a strong tone.
I'm so proud, Nadine, you've done really good.
If I get me Tom, Granddad's off! It's the last one? One more.
Who have we got next? Mo and Diamond.
Oh, Lord, no, don't do this to me.
Next up, Mo.
Hello.
You will go head-to-head with .
.
Miss Diamond.
My name's Mo, I'm 21, and I'm from Warrington.
# Over fear # And into freedom You just got to hold on I didn't think I'd get four chair turns, so it kind of took me aback.
I kind of feel now it's kind of added a little bit of pressure.
My name's Diamond, I'm 18, and I work at McDonald's.
I don't wanna be flipping burgers for the rest of my life.
I wanna be making records, be an international musician.
# I don't wanna be alone # But feeling you, baby If I ain't got you I was close to choosing Gavin, then Jennifer stood up again.
# Feelin' you, baby If I ain't got you, baby And I was like, yes.
And the song you guys will be performing is one of my absolute favourite songs.
A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke.
Wow.
Yes! Trying to battle Diamond, it will be a difficult task.
When I saw her audition I thought she was really captivating, so I think it's gonna be a really good battle.
Mo's got, like, an amazing vocal.
He's got an amazing voice.
This is my chance to show Jennifer I belong in her team, and I'm gonna come out fighting.
Diamond, she's so hopeful.
You can see it in her presence, in her face, and then Mo is just, this is everything to him.
To sing a song like this you have to give, you have to find your meaning.
So I can tell you know what it's about.
But for you, relate it to something else.
Like this moment.
This has been a long time coming.
But I know, from this experience, I know change is gonna come.
The rehearsals have been going all right, but I am struggling because I've had a chest infection for the last week so it's kind of halted what I can do a little bit.
# I was born By the river Any time when I get hoarse like that or full of cold, stuff like that, OK, what if this was my voice, what if this was my instrument, how would I use it? I I'm just gonna have to see how it goes and how it pans out.
If I leave the stage with no voice, then so be it.
This is a do-or-die moment now, so I'm gonna do whatever I can to make sure I'm the last one standing.
I'm determined to win.
I'm not gonna go down without a fight, without giving it my all.
Take your time.
# I was born by the river # In a little tent # And just like a river # I've been running ever since # It's been a long # A long time comin' # But I know # A change is gonna come # It's been too hard living # Oh, yeah, but I'm afraid to die # Cos I don't know # What's up there # Beyond the skies # It's been a long # A long time coming # But I know, I know a change is gonna come # Oh-oh-oh-oh # Yes # So then I go to my brother # And I say brother help # Help me please Hey! Come on! # Then he winds up knockin' me down # Knockin' me down, back down on my knees # Oh, there's been times # There's been times # That I thought # I couldn't last for long # Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh # But now I think I'm able # Ooh-ooh-ooh # To carry on # It's been a long # A long time coming # But I know # A change is gonna come Oh, yes, it will Look at the audience.
Every single person up on their feet.
All four coaches up on their feet.
Diamond, you seemed very emotional.
I'm just ready for change to come.
It means so much.
Like I just wanna live my dream.
Will, what did you think? I came here thinking that Mo was going to just .
.
paint the stage and graffiti all over it, Mo, like, but, Diamond, boy, did you hold your own and shine tonight.
So I don't know, I'm really confused.
Who would you pick, Will? I would pick, um It ain't my decision.
Y'all stressing me out.
Um Tell me.
First of all, I mean you wouldn't be on Team JHud if you didn't have the potential to make everybody in this room stand up on their feet and show you love, which Which made me even more proud.
I had chills over here like, oh, my God.
Huh.
I know, but it is time for you to make that decision.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, those lights, huh? OK, Jennifer, who is the winner of the battle? Diamond! Diamond! I gotta go with Mo.
Wow.
Congratulations.
Well done.
Congratulations.
Good job.
You're awesome, dude.
OK, Diamond, here we go.
You are now available for a steal.
Somebody pick my baby, please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Somebody.
Will? Will! Yeah! Oh, my God.
Yes! Yes! Thank goodness! I'm so happy because, at the blind auditions, originally I was gonna go with Gavin, then Jennifer stole it.
And now you're back there.
I'm back with Gavin.
You're here, that's all that matters.
Thank you.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy because I loved her right from the get-go.
It's great you're on my team.
Thank you so much.
I'm like, that's my baby up there, look at her.
She's all ready to go.
I think he will help her grow and I'm glad you're allowed more time to evolve.
So I'm so happy that you hit your button.
Thank you.
I'm so pleased.
And I'm proud of you too, Diamond.
I wanna prove to Gavin that he was right and I'm not gonna let him down.
You're a superstar.
Thank you.
We'll have fun.
