There is no feeling like hitting that red button.
But if I hit my button and so does Tom, Olly and Anne-Marie,
I've gotta pitch.
We are in pitch mode.
I turned really quickly. Why did you wait so long?
Guess what? Life's a pitch.
# And we don't mess around When it's go time. #
We would all love for you to be on our teams.
Whatever team you choose - obviously mine.
Strategically, you'd be best on my team.
Pick Team Olly.
I didn't know I'd get four people to choose from!
You can only have one of us, I'm afraid.
Tom. # It's go time... #
When you lose a pitch battle, it stings.
Oh, man!
Anne-Marie is the cutest pitcher.
I would love you on my team because girl power.
There's no way to compete with Tom. He's done it too many times.
Who knows, we might even do a duet.
Olly's pitching is basically begging.
I love a guy who's rocking out with the swans out,
you know what I mean? Whoo.
Will confuses me when he pitches.
I don't know where he's going with it sometimes. No.
She will have something like you on my team,
after you're on my team, she's gonna hunt for something like you.
You feel what I'm saying?
And then they say... will.i.am.
What is going on? Yeah.
Brrup, brrup, brrup.
Let the pitch battles continue.
# It's go time! #
We gotta take them out.
# This is The Voice! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Please welcome our superstar coaches.
He is the pop prince, Olly Murs. CHEERING
It's mad being here, innit?
Are you excited? Yeah, the nerves are kicking in now, like.
Just gotta go out there, and smash it.
She's a singing sensation - Anne-Marie!
I cannot believe that I'm about to do this.
It's will.i.am!
I've never sang to four legends, really, before, so that's cool.
Sir Tom Jones!
Can you believe Tom Jones is just through that door?
I actually can't. I know, it's mad.
Your coaches, everyone! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo-hoo! Yeah!
Ready to hear some singers? CHEERING
You guys don't really sound like it. Come on, we need more enthusiasm.
Y'all ready for some singers?! CHEERING
OK, let's go. Catch up numbers - how many?
So, everyone's got six? Yeah? That it?
Four spaces left. Whoa.
So, this means today's session's gonna be, like,
overthinking it and stuff.
So there's gonna be some people that we don't turn for
that we should've turned for, so when that happens, please, like,
give it to us if we missed out.
But we also need you guys to be, like,
super, super, super, super honest,
and don't be like, "Press the button!"
Cos, like, what if we miss out on songbirds,
and you guys are telling us to turn for ducks?
Only nice chirps, no quacks.
LAUGHTER
I like that.
I'm Liam Price, I'm 34, and I'm a full-time musician.
I'm from Wolverhampton.
How you doing, mate? Just a pint of the usual, please.
I play any event, really. It could be in a pub, weddings.
That's what I've been doing for many years now.
Whoever wants me, I'll play! So, yeah, anywhere.
I am a massive Wolverhampton Wanderers football fan.
Not only of the men but of the female team.
Well done, Jade!
My wife, Anna, plays for the Wolves Ladies.
Come on! INDISTINCT.
I love it when Liam turns up.
Get in! Ooh!
Probably our loudest fan!
CHEERING
Go on.
If I had the choice of Wolves winning the league
or Tom Jones turning for me,
it would have to be Tom Jones turning for me.
Wolves will win the league another time.
We're here. Yeah, it's coming on fast. Are you excited?
Excited and really nervous. Oh, I bet.
Singing's really important to me. It's my life.
I feel very lucky to have this opportunity,
and I'm just gonna give it the absolute best that I've got.
Getting chair turns could really change my life,
give me the recognition that I need to take my career to the next level
and be the best I can be.
PRODUCER: All right, stand by, here we go, then.
In three, two, one. On you go, good luck.
Got one shot at this, it makes me feel nervous.
But I am ready to go out there and own it.
Smash it, son. Go on, Liam.
SONG: 'Stop'
# All that I have Is all that you've given me
# Did you never worry That I'd come to depend on you
# Cos I gave you all the love I had in me
# Now you change your mind
# And I can't believe it's true
# Oh-oh-oh You better stop
# Before you tear me all apart
# You better stop
# Before you go and break my heart
# Ooh-ooh-ohh-ooh
# I don't believe That you'd walk out on me
# You'd better stop
# Before you tear me all apart
# Stop before you go And break my heart
# Ooh-ooh-ooh You better stop. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
CHEERING
Oh, no!
Ah!
What a shame. I'm so sorry.
There was some parts I liked, but then other parts, I didn't.
And then they overtook the bits I liked.
It wasn't quite what I'm looking for.
But very good, though. Yeah. I enjoyed it.
Not quite. No, he sang really well.
I'm pretty gutted, pretty devastated.
Aw! Babe, you were so...
Honestly. You smashed it.
Cheers.
I'm proud of myself for getting here,
and, you know, I'll just keep going, keep fighting on.
# This is all I have to give. #
PRODUCER: Here we go, onto the next.
You're Jolie, right? Yeah.
Nice to meet you, how you doing?
I'm good. Yes?
I'm nervous. Why are you nervous?
I'm Jolie Stevens, I'm 19 years old, and I'm from Cardiff.
I've just gotta think I'm in my man cave singing.
You're in your woman cave. Yeah.
It's HIS man cave here!
I work in McDonald's. Guest number 63.
I have to wear the little Britney Spears headset, you know?
I go, "Hi, can I take your order, please?”
Strawberry milkshake.
Yeah, we haven't got any milkshakes, sorry.
Anything else for you?
I'm part of a huge family. I'm the youngest out of five girls.
I love being the youngest.
I just feel like I'm the most spoilt.
We're all really close. Me and my dad go to B&Q sometimes.
We love B&Q! My mum and dad are everything to me.
They're both my biggest supporters, along with my Grampy as well.
He loves it when I sing.
Jolie, she's like a star.
She just shines so bright.
When Jolie walks out on that stage, I'll be more nervous than anyone.
I do get so emotional... but also excited as well.
The Voice today is the biggest thing I am ever gonna do.
I'm just an average girl from Cardiff that works in McDonald's,
so nothing more could mean so much.
SONG: 'Clearly"
# There's a world outside my door
# I don't know it anymore I'm gonna stay here now
# I'm gonna stay here now
# Close the curtains, cut the lights Match the darkness in my mind
# It's gonna take me down
# It's gonna take me All the roads I've been before
# Same mistakes Always got me shakin'
# Ohh-ooh-ohh
# I can see clearly now The rain has gone
# It's gonna be a bright
# A bright sunshiney day
# All the pain in my sorrow
# Won't change today Only ruin tomorrow
# I can see clearly now The rain has gone
# I accept all the things That I cannot change
# Gone are the dark clouds
# The dawn has come
# It's gonna be a bright
# A bright sunshiney day. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo-hoo!
NO AUDIBLE SPEECH
Nice. Hello. What's your name? What's your name?
My name's Jolie Stevens, and I'm from Cardiff.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Cardiff?!
Oh, Tom! Cardiff?!
Should've turned! Unlucky, mate.
Can we go back around? LAUGHTER
I think as soon as I heard
your tone of voice, I just... I loved it. Thank you.
Tell us about you. What do you do?
So, I'm 19 years old, just finished school about two years ago,
and I work in McDonald's, actually. Yay!
And now I'm here. CHEERING
So, who have you come with today? A lot of people!
Where's your pops?
Hi. Hey, Pops. Hi. Tom.
How's it going? You all right?
It's your old working mate.
Really? Yeah. Many, many years ago.
In your paper mill. Gramps, say hi. Say hi.
How's it going?
You used to work in the paper mill the same time as I did?
Yeah, you was on the winding section, weren't you?
Yeah. Exactly. Well, it's nice to see you.
Yeah, and you, mate, yeah. All the best.
Love you, Gramps. APPLAUSE
Jolie, sometimes on this show, you can hear a voice,
and you can picture which coach should coach that person,
and I think yo use two is like a match made.
You have the perfect role model
just there to help you out. Thank you.
Welcome to the show. You did amazing,
and you're gonna have a great time on Team Anne-Marie.
I know, I'm so excited!
Well done. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done.
TOM: Congratulations, love. Thank you.
Lovely to see you.
SHE SCREAMS
Oh, thank God! Oh, my God! Well done, babes.
She's only 19. She would've gone with you anyway.
If I turned and I'd been pitching, she'd have gone with you anyway.
I don't know, I think you might have persuaded her.
Her grandad might have been like...
"Go with Tom."” No!
What was your worst subject at school, Anne-Marie?
RE was my worst. What was your favourite?
PE was my favourite. And drama.
Anything what you didn't have to really do much work in!
The easy way out. Yeah!
History I think was my favourite. History was your favourite subject?
Yeah, yeah. I loved history. What was your worst?
My worst was English because I just didn't understand...
It's not logical.
Like... There's a song where I say, I spell "tasty” wrong.
And I'm thinking tasty's really spelt T-A-S-T-E-Y.
Because "Spacey" is S-P-A-C-E-Y.
Yeah. And then "nasty" is N-A-S-T-Y.
So why is tasty not "tastey"? LAUGHTER
But science, um... love science.
I love anything creative.
But I loved school. I loved it, loved it.
I cried the last day of school all the time, like...
CRYING: Oh, I'm gonna miss you guys.
What about you, Olly?
Sport I was good at, obviously. That's just cos ... Obviously!
I used to just chat to everyone, sing in the corner.
It was magical. Magical time.
My name is Matt Green, I'm 34 years old, I'm from London.
So, here we are. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling OK. It's a bit different to the classroom, though.
But | think I'LL do fine.
I live with my wife and three little kids at home
that are six, five and four.
That's not right - six, five and three.
I better do that again. My wife, she's my biggest supporter.
I don't think I'd be doing this if it wasn't for her.
I think she'll probably be more nervous than me.
So, I used to be a teacher in a school for ten years.
I absolutely love to rap.
So, I first got into rapping when I was about 16 years old,
and then two years ago, I decided to revisit my ability to rap
and couple it with my ability to teach,
and hence the Rapping Science Teacher was born.
I teach through rap.
I take a science topic - let's say, photosynthesis -
it might take an hour to explain it in class,
and I make it rhythmic, I make it rhyme on the keywords,
and I try to explain it as best as I can.
The song I'm going to be performing today
is gonna be an original one written by me.
And teach the coaches and the audience
a little something about science.
I feel OK right now, but I tend to get nervous
immediately before something happens.
My fingers are crossed,
and I'm praying that I've got what it takes to go through.
WHISPERED: Here he comes, here he comes.
WHISPERED: He's gonna be good, isn't he?
Voice UK, are you ready for a science lesson?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What's your name?
Matt Green, AKA the Rapping Science Teacher.
Yeah! CHEERING
OK, so, you had me at, "Do you wanna know about science?”
He was like, "Yes, I do." I was like, "Oh, shucks."
And then you started doing that over the beat.
And, yeah, the reason why I turned is I love science, one...
I've heard. ..I love tech.
And anything that combines music
and makes it easier for kids to learn about things
that they probably don't find interesting, when they should,
because science is what we have all around us,
that needs some saluting and some turning,
so thank you for the combo.
I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you.
So, are you actually a science teacher?
I am by trade.
I've taught in schools for ten years. I ran a business,
and I started the rapping thing two years ago.
Both have taken off,
so this is what I do pretty much full-time now.
Well done. Amazing.
Sir, I didn't press my button cos I prefer maths.
LAUGHTER
On a serious note, it's fantastic that you done that.
You know, so different, so unique
and well done on getting the two-chair turn.
Thank you. Thank you.
You pointed out something that we don't really value,
and that is the power of song and memory. Mm.
The things that we remember,
and then things like maths, science
because we don't have the capacity to absorb the complexities
but through song, you can,
that combination is really, really, really important.
So it's pretty powerful. Thank you. Thank you.
Well, I turned because I just generally love rap,
and I just get so excited by it.
Yeah, I would love for you to be on my team but I feel like,
I don't know, I'm not trying...
I'm just saying, you just feel like a good team.
Now you have to choose between me and Anne-Marie.
Right, I was wondering, is it that point? OK. Um...
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE
Well done, Daddy. Aw, thanks, James. You're the best.
How cool was that guy? Imagine being at school
and having a teacher just bust out rhymes? He IS cool.
When did you know you could rap, Will?
When did you know you could just rhyme
lyrics and words together so quickly?
Well, I started off freestyling.
Could you freestyle now? I'm cool.
RAPS: # My name is Olly Lyrically... #
LAUGHTER
# I go outside and I do A little bit of TV
# On the something... # LAUGHTER
It's almost time.
I cannot believe that I'm about to do this.
My name is Keilah, and I'm 23 years old,
and I'm from Birmingham.
I got into singing with my mum, really.
My mum is a singer. So, I teach younger children,
and we just do extracurricular singing, dancing,
that kind of stuff.
You know, little performances here and there.
I have a lot of siblings.
So, there's eight of us in the house.
Extremely noisy household, like, all the time!
To be around Keilah is just to be happy.
She's always, like, the little cute one in the corner
that's singing away all the time.
All the time. Yeah!
I worked so many years to just get here
because it's more than just a competition,
do you know what I mean?
It's like proving to myself that I can actually go up there and do it.
In the past, I have struggled with self-belief and confidence.
I'm confident in the song that I'm singing,
I'm confident in the message that the song portrays.
It's just that big space,
so it's always gonna be... nerve-wracking.
# And I'll rise up I'WLrise like the day... #
Cos of who she is, she's gonna make herself really proud.
She is. Cos we're proud.
I think I need that belief in myself a lot more,
and one of them turning around for me
would allow me to just really believe in myself.
SONG: 'You Say'
# I keep fighting voices in my mind
# That say I'm not enough Mm-mm
# Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
# Ooh-whoa
# Am I more than just The sum of every high
# And every-every low... # APPLAUSE
Come on, come on!
# Remind me once again just who I am Because I need to know
# Whoa-oh-oh
# You say I am loved When I can't feel a thing... #
CHEERING
# You say I am strong When I think I am weak
# And you say I am held When I am falling short
# And when I don't belong
# Oh, you say I am yours
# And I believe
# I believe... # CHEERING
# What you say of me... # Woo!
# And I believe. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo-hoo!
Hi, I'm Keilah, I'm 23, and I'm from Birmingham.
Keilah!
Well, that was beautiful. Thank you.
What do you do for a living? Singer by day, singer by night!
Oh, you're a professional singer, then?
Well, you know, here and there, I do a few gigs,
but this is definitely one of the biggest.
Yeah. APPLAUSE
It's a really tough song to sing, that. Some real layers to it.
I really was on that journey with you
from the start till the end. It came from a special place.
Yeah, well, I guess everyone has a hard time
believing in themselves sometimes,
and I am definitely a person that has to be reminded
that I can do more than I allow myself to do.
I hope after doing this performance,
you start to believe in your ability and your talent
cos that was a very, very good performance.
Thank you. Really good.
I felt the emotion, you really brought the emotion with that.
Most people leave the emotion somewhere else, they ignore it,
but you really honed in to the emotion of that song
and brought that. You have an old soul
to be able to connect and do that authentically.
APPLAUSE Thank you.
TOM: Are we going to pitch now?
OK. I just think you're a wonderful singer.
I'm glad you persevered, and it's great to have you on the show.
I could not not press my button,
and I would love for you to be on my team.
APPLAUSE
I see you, I believe in you, you know, I've got amazing singers,
I'd love to add you to that, so thank you for doing The Voice...
Thank you for turning! Thank you for doing this audition.
It's amazing. Honestly, you were great. Thank you.

Yeah, she's a nice girl.
Coaches, it's your favourite time of day.
I tried to get one of these for the toilet in the house.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
This would be back a bit, but this would actually be a loo,
you'd sit on it and you'd press the red button to flush it.
Oh, that is sick.
There's a project for you - for the shed out the back.
I might do it.
FLUSHING
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
It's nice in here, innit?
I'm Jack the lad, I'm from Liverpool, I'm 22,
and I'm here just to try and make it.
I started singing, I'd say, from around 14.
Just singing in my room, singing in the shower.
Music is my whole life,
it's the only thing I look forward to.
I'd probably say it's the only thing that I'm good at.
Oh, there's our spot, Jack.
I've got, like, an uncle figure, Phil,
who has been with me from day one, from when I started the singing.
I should've put some suncream in the bag for today.
Didn't expect it, did we? No.
I first met Jack when he was about 12, 13.
I was doing guitar lessons in the school that Jack was in.
This is a fish less fishing pond.
Phil has a background of music himself,
so he was in a band years ago, and he's got that experience.
He's helped me sing, play guitar, given me loads of advice.
You've just gotta be natural, just be natural and do what you do
cos what you do, you do it well.
And he's always been there for me, really.
It still doesn't feel like I'm here now.
You know, seeing this, what I watch on telly in the background
and watching people get interviewed, and now I'm the one sitting here.
Nervous, you know. No surprise, man.
I can just give it my all, can't I?
And if they all turn, who are you gonna pick?
It's gotta be Olly Murs, ain't it?
I'm a big fan of Olly. I've been to see him live.
It's someone that I'd love to work with.
I can imagine going for a pint with Olly.
I'm a bit nervous now. Are you? Yeah.
I'm absolutely bricking it, to be honest with you.
To know that I'm gonna be walking out on stage now
to that many people.
PRODUCER: Guys, stand by. Nice and quiet.
Jack's standing by.
I've gotta smash this audition.
Three, two, one. On you go. Good luck.
# Yeah, I still get nervous
# When you walk through the door And you look in my eyes
# Yeah, it feels

# Making my way downtown Walking fast, faces pass
# And I'm home bound... # Aw!
# Staring blankly ahead Making my way
# Making my way through the crowd
# Cos I need you And I miss you, yeah
# And now I wonder
# If I could fall into the sky
# Do you think Time would pass me by?
# You know I'd walk a thousand miles
# If I could just see you
# And I don't wanna let you go
# No, no, no

My name's Jack Desmond. Where are you from, Jack?
Liverpool. You can tell by the accent!
CHEERING
I wasn't expecting that, bro. Yeah?
AUDIENCE: Aww! Well, I'm here.
CHEERING
Last minute, you knew what you were doing, man.
You knew exactly what you were doing!
You thought, "Let's stress this Scouser out."”
You've sussed me out! You've sussed me out.
Honestly, I appreciate it so much, man. So, so much.
I've gotta be honest,
it wasn't the perfect performance. Yeah.
But I just felt something with you. I don't know what it is.
I think you've got something, I really do.
My job here is to coach,
and so if we can hear something, we need to unlock that key
cos I think there's so much potential with you,
and so that's why I pressed my button.
CHEERING
How long have you been singing? I'd say since from about 14.
And as time's gone on, I've learned to play quitar.
You play guitar? Yeah, yeah, I play guitar.
I'm a bit out of my comfort zone at the minute without the guitar.
Yeah. But it's all about taking risks, man.
Know what I mean? And it's paid off. It was a risk worth taking.
And who did you come with?
I've got my dad, my uncle and my girlfriend.
When you were singing, who were you thinking of when you were singing?
Erm... Olly. LAUGHTER
No! You're supposed to be thinking about your girlfriend!
She's right there! She understands, man.
She was thinking about Olly as well!
Oh, I've never had a guy sing to me before, but I loved it.
Well, you have now, man.
First time for everything, innit? Know what I mean?
You do have such a great tone of voice.
I was so close to hitting it.
I'm so glad you did cos I was like, "There's no way we can let him go."
I'm so glad.
Yeah, I can't wait to see what you sing next,
I can't wait to see you on the guitar.
Yeah, I'm excited for you. Thank you.
Welcome to my team. Thank you, brother, thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done. Cheers.
Oh, my God. Well done. You smashed it.
I've got no words. I can't even speak.
He just has something about him,
I just had this gut feeling to press it.
And you can't beat the Scousers.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Olly, give us a song!

I love that. Marks & Sparks! Well, they are!
Do you want me to show you? LAUGHTER
I can't believe I'm gonna be singing in front of the coaches today.
I know. It's so exciting.
My name is Jess, I'm 25, and I'm a nanny/singer.
When I sing for the children, they love it,
they get quite excited if I sing something like Frozen or something.
I do it cos it's just in me, you know?
My parents are musicians,
and I would go to their gigs from a really, really young age.
My mum is, like, the most incredible singer.
I'm not just saying it cos she's my mum!
We used to hear her singing in her bedroom
when she was about seven or eight,
and we just couldn't believe what we could hear.
We'd stand at the bedroom door listening to her.
Her voice just sailed out,
and we all sat there crying, actually.
Yeah, we believe in you. 100%.
Yeah, you're gonna smash this, Jess.
Singing means everything to me.
I'm gigging every weekend,
you know, weddings, parties, and it's, yeah, it's really good fun.
But as fun as they are, I wanna sing the music I've written,
touring all over the world.
This is definitely my moment to give it everything I've got.
And I'll be quite nervous,
but I'll be telling myself, "Pull yourself together.
"You've got 90 seconds to show them what you've got."
# Suddenly, I can see
# Everything I've waited for
# Awakening inside a dream
# So what are we waiting for? #
SONG: 'The Dark End Of The Street'
# At the dark end of the street
# That's where we always meet
# Hiding in shadows Where we don't belong
# Living in darkness To hide our wrong
# You and me
# At the dark end of the street
# They're gonna find us
Oh, someday
# You and me
# At the dark end of the street
# If we should meet, just walk on by
# Oh, darling, please
# Oh, yes, please, don't cry... #
Oh, come on!
# Tonight, we'll meet
# At the dark end of... #
Anyone going?
# ..the street
# Yeah, yeah, yeah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo! Oh, my god!
Woo! Woo!
What's your name?
My name’s Jess Hayes, I'm 25, and I'm from Surrey.
CHEERING
Well, I love that song. Thank you.
You know, and you sang it really, really well.
You just sang it from your heart and just put yourself in it.
So I loved it. Thank you.
Who did you come with?
I've come with my mum, my brother and my brother's girlfriend.
My mum's also a singer as well. So I've learned from her.
Is that your twin there?
Yeah, that's my twin over there, yeah.
You guys are, like... Wow, her DNA is strong. Yeah, yeah.
If she sings and you guys look alike, that's some DNA science!
APPLAUSE
You got four turns. Thank you.
Right at the end. We made you wait!
Honestly, that was such a great performance.
Thank you. Do you sing with your mum?
She's got her own band,
but I get up and sing with her sometimes. Yeah.
Can we hear it? She's got her own band? Hello.
CHEERING Come on, Mum!
Hello. WILL: Double trouble!
OLLY: What song do you sing together?
We normally do Tennessee Whiskey together.
Tennessee Whiskey! That's a great song.
SONG: 'Tennessee Whiskey'
# Used to spend my nights Out in a bar room... #
Woo!
# Liquor was the only love I've ever known
# You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey
# You're a sweet Strawberry wine... #
Woo! Woo!
# You're as warm As a glass of brandy
# And, honey, I stay stoned On your love all the time. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Woo!
Come on!
What's your mom's name?
My mum's name's Val. Yes, Val.
How you guys harmonise like that just gave me goosebumps
because at one point in time, you were swimming in her belly.
That's science. Science!
Well done, Val. That was fantastic. Thanks, Val.
TOM: Thank you, love. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well, you're amazing, and your mum is amazing.
But this is, like, your time. I'd love you to be on my team.
I don't think I've got anyone like you.
You have the soul, you have the rasp,
you have that texture of voice that I haven't got on my team yet.
And, yeah, we'll have fun. We'll have fun on my team.
I just loved the song choice,
it was just a wonderful, wonderful job,
so, you know... if you want to come with me, here I am. It's up to you.
Thank you. Jess, I don't live near Surrey...
my mum doesn't sing like yours,
but I can coach people to win The Voice,
and I'd love to work with you.
I would love for you to be on my team.
Your voice is... spectacular.
You have the confidence that music could be your career.
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES What's she gonna do?
AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
I'm gonna go with...
...Olly. Yes!
Go on, Olly! Woo! Woo! Olly, Olly, Olly!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Amazing.
Well done.
Yeah!
Well done.
I'm really happy with that. Yeah, she's solid.
Solid, she is.
She will do any song justice. Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? Yep. 100%. Four-chair turn.
Yes, sir. Anne-Marie, have you ever sung with your mum?
Nah. No?
I think my mum's tone deaf. My mum thinks she can sing.
I'll tell her you said that.
Whoa, when are you seeing my mum next, then?
Well, I'm not gonna tell you. LAUGHTER
# Sex bomb, sex... #
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
# This is The Voice! #
Probably my favourite thing to do is little magic tricks.
You know, when you take a finger and it goes... Whoa! Oh!
My name is Bob Strachan, I'm 44 years old, and I'm a pastor.
Being a pastor is not a job, it's a calling.
You're serving the community.
We always do singing every Sunday,
and music is such a big healer and helps people feel good.
Naomi and I have been married for 22 years. We've got two kids.
She's always been a big supporter of my music.
I used to phone her up and sing Hank Williams really badly
into her answering machine.
Today's the day.
I'm used to singing for just the church folks,
so it's really quite exciting to be doing this.
You're not gonna embarrass us, right?
Would it be completely your dad if he didn't embarrass you?
That is a good point, actually. THEY LAUGH
I wanted to make the family and the congregation proud.
They're the reason I'm here.
It's not just me on the stage, it's them, too.
On you go, Bob.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There's no holding back.
# Is it too late to turn around?
# I'm already halfway out of town. #
SONG: 'Folsom Prison Blues'
# I hear the train a-comin' It's rolling round the bend
# I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when
# 1I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
# And time keeps draggin' on... #
Ar-r-r-riba!
# But that train keeps a-rollin' On down to San Antone... #
CHEERING
# When I was just a baby Mama told me
# "Son, always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns”
# But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die
# When I hear the whistle blowin'
# I hang my head and cry
# Ohh If they freed me from this prison
# If that railroad train was mine
# I bet I'd move it on A little further down the line
# Far from Folsom Prison
# That's where I wanna stay
# And I'd let that lonesome whistle Blow my blues away
# Yeah, I'd let that lonesome Whistle blow my blues away... #
One more time, boys.
# Yeah, I'd let That lonesome whistle
# Blow my blues away. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That is an absolute shame.
Oh, man.
Absolutely gutted.
You did great. At least the crowd enjoyed it.
They sure did. That's good.
You raised the roof.
That's a Johnny Cash song.
Once you attempt a song like that, you've gotta do something with it.
But these lot absolutely loved it. CHEERING
Feeling good? Yeah.
You'll enjoy it. Everyone's gonna love this.
My name is Zaza, I'm 30, and I'm from London.
I live with Mum and Dad. We like to watch TV together.
We should be on Gogglebox, I think!
I'm their only child,
and their blessing, their encouragement,
their support is everything. I've been singing all my life.
Me, my mum, and my dad, we'd go to church,
I'd sing in the choir,
but I never wanted to look them in the eye,
and I would ask them to turn around while I was sang.
# When I think of my mother
# No-one compares to her... #
Regardless of what happens today, Zaza, to me, is exceptional.
And she's worked so hard.
She's our pride and joy, and we love her.
I'm really proud.
Aw, you're gonna make me cry! You're my special... Mum! Aww!
I'm very nervous.
I think that being nervous is actually a good thing.
Cos nerves let you know that it's real,
it means something, that you're alive.
When I walk out on that stage tonight,
I am going to sing my heart out.
Hopefully, the coaches will turn for me!
# Down to our bones
# I think we both know... #
# Steady, are you ready?
# What's going on?
# Cold fresh air
# Feel the melody That's in the air... #
CHEERING
# Oh, yeah
SONG: 'Back To Life'
# Back to life, back to reality
# Back to the here and now, yeah
# Show me how Decide what you want from me
# Tell me, baby I can be there for you
# How ever do you want me How ever do you need me
# I live at the top of the block
# No more room for trouble and fuss
# Need a change, a positive change
# Look, it's me writing on the wall
# Ever do you want me Yeah-eah
# Tell me how do you want me, baby
# How ever do you need me, yeah
# Oh-oh-oh-oh
# Tell me now how do you want me. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, hello! Hello!
This is mad. Thanks, Will. Hi! You're the one I wanted!
Thank you! CHEERING
What's your name?
Hi, I'm Zaza, I'm from London, I'm 30 years old,
and Will just turned for me! Yes! Thank you!
Zaza! That name is like... Zaza!
Your voice is amazing. Your voice was pristine all by itself
cos the way that song starts off is just the voice by itself.
To pull that off is brave, and you did that.
Thank you. Thank you.
Woo!
The reason why I didn't turn is because
I've got a lot of girls on my team. LAUGHTER
But that's the only reason, honestly. I loved what you did.
It was effortless. And perfection, basically.
And as soon as Will turned, I was like,
I felt the stare he gave me was like, "Don't you dare turn.”
You know, you said you wanted him, and you got him, so well done.
How long have you been singing for? I've always sung in choirs,
I've always liked to sing backing with other people
and, like, bounce off their energy and stuff, so...
Well, I'm definitely bouncing off your energy.
But what I think is so amazing is that you was always behind,
you know, now you are front and centre of stage,
so this is your moment. Where you belong.
This is your time. And this is exciting for you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Welcome to the show. Thank you! Thank you! Zaza!
THEY SCREAM
Yeah, we did it, Mum!
Yes, Will. There's eight people on my team now.
My team is healthy.
It's healthy.
# This is The Voice! #
We got some really good contestants tonight.
Good mixture of people.
Everyone has been sick. We've all got great people.
Really good singers.
I'm really happy with my team so far. I got some uniques.
Got one left, last one. OK, let's go.
Can you tell I've only had a couple of hours sleep?
I'm Jazz Morley, I'm 33, and I'm a singer songwriter.
I live at home with my partner, Dan, and our little baby Buddy,
who is three months old.
BUDDY BABBLES
I'm changing more nappies in a day than I thought was possible.
Right, shall we pick you a little outfit
for the Blind Audition, Buddy? Do you like this?
Since leaving college, I've pretty much made a living from singing.
In 2019, I was fortunate enough to support Tom Jones
for a couple of nights in London.
That's actually where I met my partner, Dan.
He was playing piano for me.
So Baby Buddy might not have been here
if it wasn't for Tom, yeah!
How are you feeling?
Well, tired cos of this little tinker. Yeah.
And look at him now, like butter wouldn't melt, fast asleep.
Jasmine, she's, to me, turned into a sort of superhuman at the minute.
She's not sleeping
but still managing to be a good mother to Buddy
and do this and put her all into this.
It's quite incredible to witness, actually.
I've spent my entire life wanting to pursue my career
as a working musician,
and having a baby changes everything - in my head, in my body.
But I just feel like I'm in a place now where
I want to give myself another chance.
PRODUCER: Stand by, Jazz. I'll tell you when.
It was a tough decision for Jazz to come and do The Voice
as well as all the things that are going on,
but it's given her a fresh sense of drive
because she wants to do it even more for Buddy. Yeah, I'm very proud.
Three, two, one. On you go.
The last few years, it's knocked my confidence quite a lot.
There's definitely been times when I've been close to giving up,
but I definitely think
it's important to set an example of courage, determination.
I think it's important for Buddy to see that.
# Strong enough
# To let it go
# Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh. #
SONG: 'Landslide'
# I took my love I took it down... #
APPLAUSE
# I climbed a mountain And turned around
# And I saw my reflection In the snow-covered hills... #
Oh, wow.
# Till the landslide Brought me down... #
Nice. That's nice.
# Well, I've been afraid of changin'
# Cos I've built my life around you
# And time makes you bolder
# Even children get older... #
Wow. # I'm getting older too... #
Oh, that's beautiful.
# Oh, take my love, take it down
# Oh-oh-oh, climb a mountain And turn around
# And if you see my reflection In the snow-covered hills... #
CHEERING
# Well, the landslide Will bring it down
# Oh-ohh, the landslide... #
Oh, come on! # ..will bring it
# Down. #
Come on! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# You've got the love You've got the love
# You've got the love
# You've got the love... #
What's your name? My name's Jazz Morley.
Who have you come with today?
I've come with my other half, Dan, and my little baby, Buddy.
He's got his dear defenders on. Oh, bless, look! Hello! Hey!
TOM: Look at that!
Oh, wow. I mean, that was just beautiful.
Thank you. I was quite nervous. So it was...
CHEERING No, it was. It was so...
I was just sat there, enjoying every minute of that.
Your voice is brilliant, and I loved the emotion as well.
You could tell that really meant a lot to you.
Yeah, it does, and it's actually quite apt
cos the song's sort of about getting a bit older
and going through life's changes,
and it's quite emotional, really. Yeah. Aw.
APPLAUSE How long have you been singing for?
I've done it since I left school,
and it's always been what I've wanted to do.
I think just before the pandemic,
my career was sort of getting to a really good point.
I actually supported Tom Jones in 2019.
Yeah, yeah. I remember it.
Wow, Oh, wow.
And, actually, it's where I met my other half, so thank you.
Wow!
I'm glad it worked out, then! It did!
This is the restart, isn't it? Yeah.
You're reigniting it,
and what a great performance to reignite it with. Thank you.
Yeah, I'm so happy I pressed my button. It was beautiful.
Your vocal was pristine, and you had emotion.
I really loved your tenacity to keep at it and come on the show.
ANNE-MARIE: Absolutely. Thanks for coming on the show.
Yeah. Thank you.
I really enjoyed it.
I thought especially there's like a certain note
that you hit twice,
and it was the most purest thing I've ever heard,
and I was like, "Wow."
But I feel like you would be perfect over here.
I mean, I would love for you to be on my team.
You just have a beautiful voice.
And that's a fact. I could not not turn.
And I think I could find some songs for you, and it would be lovely.
Thank you.
You kept me waiting, I was thinking it was all over. Sorry! Sorry.
There were a few dodgy notes in there,
but I put that down to nerves.
And half an hour's sleep last night thanks to my child.
But you know what, I think, for me, that just felt like emotion,
and sometimes, there's just unique singers
that can bring an emotion out of a song,
and you're clearly that type of singer.
You've got it all, you have.
You've got that something. You've just got that unique voice.
It's something different. And I would love you to be on my team.
Oh, thank you very much.
I think you're a star. Thank you. Beautiful.
Who do you wanna be your coach? AUDIENCE CALL OUT NAMES
Hang about!
Well, I came here with eyes for one man only. Sorry, Dan.
LAUGHTER
But, Tom, I would be honoured. CHEERING
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Really beautiful voice. And welcome to my team.
Lovely to meet you. Did a fantastic job. Well done.
Beautiful. Well done. We'll see you next time.
Well done, Tom. She's great. Yeah, lovely. Just lovely.
She's got a lovely voice.
You were watching! Did he enjoy it? He did enjoy it.
Although he was mainly just staring at Emma Willis.
She kept him calm. You little flirt! Yeah.
So, Tom, you're responsible for a baby.
What was you doing at the gig
to make them, you know? HE CLICKS TONGUE
Well, this is it. He was shaking his hips.
