# I am a fighter... #
This is the tenth series of The Voice.
Ten years?! Ahh!
The red chairs have turned hundreds of times.
# Yeah... #
I mean, that's singing. That is singing.
We've heard some of the most amazing voices over the years.
Brroop!
THEY SING
Yeah!
It's such a great show to find true talent.
I've always shared all my experiences
and give as much as I possibly can to that contestant.
It's just exciting for me. ANNOUNCER: Blessing!
# Can't stop me now... #
I really wanna be a singer. You're awesome!
It's something that I wake up every day and I dream about.
# Can't stop me now... #
Yes! I'd rather die trying
than not try at all. # Can't stop me now... #
The Voice could change my life forever.
I wanna be the winner of the tenth series of The Voice.
Wow! Come on!
# This is The Voice! #
APPLAUSE
Wah!
Woo-hoo!
There's so many people here! Who've we got this week?
Look at my panda folks. Hi, pandas! I love that.
Amazing. Someone wants to read your tarot cards, Tom.
Ooh. Do you believe in psychics, Tom?
Yeah. I do. Do ya?
Yeah, I love 'em. I go to see them all the time.
Really? Any of it come true?
Um... Nah!
THEY LAUGH
No!
Come on, let's get on with it. Numbers round up, where we at?
I am on eight.
Oh! Me too.
Two spaces left.
How many you got, Tom? Seven. How many you got now?
Seven. Seven.
You know, we have got less spaces to fill.
It gets harder. I've gotta wait for the best of the best best best.
Here we go.
So, this is your big day. Oh, I'm quite nervous.
I'm Meg Birch, I'm 25 and I'm from The Wirral.
I don't have a massively Scouse accent,
but I actually do a really good Cilla Black impression.
AS CILLA: Oh, my word, I've gorra lotta lotta love
out there for you all. Oh, so much love. Lorra, lorra love.
I'm never gonna live that down.
It's the tenth series.
Can you believe we all sat together,
watching the show and now you're on it.
My mum and dad are super, super supportive.
I hope I do you proud. You do us proud every day.
Any opportunity they can to be there, they will be.
I just really hope and pray that this is your moment,
cos you really, really, really deserve it.
I think the first time I knew that I kind of wanted to be a singer,
I was seven years old, in my primary school,
and I auditioned for Stars In Their Eyes and I was Shania Twain.
# Oh, oh, go totally crazy... #
And I won!
Over the years, I've worked really, really hard.
I busked from the age of 15.
I worked in a music shop, I do some vocal coaching,
I'll do some backing vocals.
I gig most weekends, be it at weddings,
bar mitzvahs, christenings, I'm there.
It's an incredibly hard industry.
There's definitely been times where I've wanted to give up.
But I need to do what my passion is
and, for me, I'm just the happiest when I'm on stage.
I'd rather die trying than not try at all.
I want to make my parents proud. I just wanna see them smile
and if I got a turn... they're just gonna lose it!
This is a huge deal to me. Huge deal.
It's such a big opportunity and I just don't wanna mess it up.
Go, Meg! Go, Meg!
SONG: 'If I Go'
# I could play any game for you
# I could say what you want me to
# I could lie
# I could lie... # Come on!
Whoo!
# But I need time, I need space
# Mm... # Come on!
# I need to live Without your face, oh
# Whoo
# If I go, will you love me?... # Come on! Turn!
# Will you love me until I can
# And do you know, will you want me
# Will you want me like that
# I could be what you want me to be
# I could hold out And let me do what I want... #
Come on!
# Oh, oh-hoo
# What I want
CHEERING # If I pray will you love me
# Will you love me until I can
# And do you know, will you want me
# Will you want me like that
# And if I leave
# Will it end?
# Will you need me again
# And if I go, yeah Will you love me
# Will you love me when I come back Hey-yeah. #
APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Don't cry!
Wow.
Hey, what's your name?
Don't cry, you'll make me cry. Take a second.
Meg. Thank you so much for turning.
Cool. Oh, my word.
LAUGHING This is crazy!
Thank you. Where are you from?
A place called The Wirral, near Liverpool.
Liverpool! Great place. Liverpool!
I actually loved that so much. Oh, thank you.
I'm not gonna lie, I was feeling really tough
like, I was not gonna turn unless there's someone that I really love.
And I couldn't not for you.
Oh, thank you so much. Honestly.
Thank you. Who you got with you?
This is my mum and my dad. Ah. My biggest fans.
Your dad was going sick.
I was like, "Dad, calm down!"
Can I ask how old you are? I'm 25.
Why's it taken this long to get to this point?
I've done backing vocals for other people
and I was like, 25, quarter of a century,
and it's just my time to have my moment.
I entered The X Factor at 25.
I felt exactly how you're feeling now and I just wanna say,
that was an incredible performance.
Did you get that on tape?
No, honestly. Thank you.
First of all, 25 is not old.
Cos you said...
It's not old. When I had my first hit record, I was 24.
Especially if you've been doing backing vocals and you've been doing
all kinds of things, which is great.
I think it's better to have had some experience.
I thought, I can't not turn here because you're so good.
Yeah. Thank you.
You said you did background singing for other folks?
Yeah, my highlight of my career, basically,
I got to sing with Demi Lovato at the MTV awards.
Had no idea why I was on that stage with her!
The difference between yourself
and the folks that you did background singing for
is this confidence,
and even if some of them the level of talent is, like, four,
their confidence level is at 100.
Throughout your speaking, you've put yourself down,
"I don't know why I was onstage." You're awesome!
You have extraordinary vocal capabilities.
That's why you were onstage. Thank you.
Well said, Will. Very true.
Obviously I'd love you on my team, I turned around very quickly!
It's all about the girl power
and there's no more backing vocal singing for you.
Sick, thank you.
I just loved the way you sounded and you had plenty of fire there.
Thank you. I could tell by the way you speak,
because it happens to me sometimes,
when you sing a lot, you're trying to, you know,
which you do, which you've done.
The rasp comes out. Yeah, yeah.
When you try to talk sometimes... I call it my inner rock star.
So I understand that. Thank you.
Wow, well, it's a big decision now.
Which coach are you gonna go with?
It's so tough. How can you pick, honestly? Like...
Um...
OK.
I think the team I would like to join is...
..Anne-Marie.
Thank you. Thank you!
Well done! Thank you.
Well done, darling.
Good one.
TOM: There you go.
That was a good start. Great opening to the show.
Best moment ever.
Like, just feels like everything that I've worked hard for,
like, came together in that one moment.
It was exactly everything that I pictured it would be.
Bring on the Battles!
Your team's so you, which I love!
All the people that are in your team
all feel like a little slice of you, it's really cool.
You reckon?! 100%!
This is a really big day for me,
so I'm feeling quite nervous right now.
Hi!
My name's Ella, I'm 19, and I'm a student.
I'm from Llandogo in Wales.
Everyone says "Landogo", it's double L cos it's Welsh,
so it's "Ch-llandogo".
You've gotta spit,
pretty much, just spit and you'll get it, it's fine.
I love musical theatre. My dream musical role is Elphaba in Wicked.
Who doesn't want to be painted green eight times a week?!
How cool!
I've watched people audition for The Voice over half my life,
so I'm quite nervous for my audition today.
It's gonna be cool, though.
So I just have to tell myself, it'll be fine.
Everything's fine, I'm not nervous.
I hope they like it, because it's a different version of the song.
People don't really expect my voice, because I'm quite awkward
and they're like, "Whoa! Where did that come from?!"
So proud, so proud of you. Thanks, Mum.
She has got an amazing, powerful voice.
and I just think she'll smash it.
The song I'm singing today has a massive note in it.
Sometimes I think it might be a bit of a risk.
Hit a bum note, they'll know!
I really, really want a turn. Like, really bad.
So I'm just gonna sing my little heart out
and just hope for the best, you know? So...
I'm gonna walk out onstage and I'm gonna give it everything I've got.
I just wanna, like, do what I love for a living.
SONG: 'Defying Gravity'
# Something has changed within me
# Something is not the same
# I'm through With playing by the rules
# Of someone else's game
# Too late for second guessing
# Too late to go back to sleep
# It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes and leave
# It's time to try to fly
# In gravity
# I think I'll try to fly In gravity
# And you won't bring me down
# Oh, whoa
# So if you can find me
# Look to the winter sky... # Oh-ho-ho!
# As someone told me lately
# Everyone deserves a chance to fly
# And if I fly solo
# At least I'm flying free
# To those who ground me
# Take your message back from me
# Oh
# It's time to try to fly in gravity
# I'm way up high, defying gravity
# And you won't bring me down
# Oh! # Come on!
APPLAUSE
Oh! What?!
It meant a lot. Like, it meant a lot.
I've been thinking about this for a long time.
It is what it is, isn't it?
I was almost there, but I've got too many people already.
I'm so proud of you. It's OK.
Well done. It's all right. If we all were at three,
it would have been a four turn, we would have been fighting.
Absolutely. Yeah. That's so annoying, isn't it?
I think my performance went well.
I hit the note! Even though no-one turned,
I know I gave it my best shot.
That's a mistake. You're right. She should have been here.
# This is The Voice! #
I can't believe this is the tenth series!
CHEERING
I hope we're all sat here in 2030.
In 2030, I'm gonna be 90 years old!
And you're gonna look the same. You'll look the same!
You think so? Yeah! God bless you.
Keep hanging upside down. Do you? I hang upside down.
You know, on one of those... What?!
Yeah, it's great. What do you mean?
You put your feet in the thing and then you flip,
you know, you go up and you hang.
So I get on there. It puts all the blood to your head
and you look young. Exactly.
That's why you've got that curly hair, still.
Maybe that's what it is. All the blood is going to my hair.
I'm Stephanee, I'm 25 years old.
Originally from Venezuela, but I live in Southampton.
Growing up in Venezuela was really fun.
The Latin culture's very colourful,
which I love, which is why I'm so, "Oh, my God" all the time.
When I was about 21,
I met my husband and I finally moved to the UK
and, yeah, now I'm here.
We fell in love quite quickly.
We met in the Caribbean. I was translating on a cruise ship.
And, like, we kind of just clocked eyes and I was like, "Ooh-la-la!"
We were about to have our two year anniversary and... Sorry...
then he passed away.
Um, a couple of days before our anniversary.
He, uh, had an accident in Cornwall.
The paramedics came and he was in the hospital fighting
for, like, about maybe a day or so,
but it was just, he was in a really bad state, so...
he passed away. Yeah.
It was just a lot of getting through.
I didn't have my family with me, so I started songwriting.
Yeah, music was definitely a big, big healer for me.
Today's blind audition is definitely, ooh!
It's definitely a big one.
I feel like, since he didn't get to finish his life story,
it's time for me now to really make him proud.
Today means the world!
Literally, like, it's... such a big...
Yeah. So big.
SONG: 'Runnin' (Lose It All)'
# These four lonely walls Have changed the way I feel
# The way I feel
# I'm standing still
# And nothing else matters now You're not here
# So where are you?
# I've been callin' you
# I'm missin' you
# Adonde puede ir?
# Chasin' you... # Spanish.
# Chasin' you
# Memories turn to dust
# Please don't bury us Te tengo a ti
# Te tengo a ti
# Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
# Runnin', runnin', runnin'
# Ain't runnin' from myself no more
# Together we'll win it all
# I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin'
# Runnin' from myself no more
# I'm ready to face it all
# And every voice that cried Inside my head, forever drives
# If I lose myself, I lose it all. #
CHEERING
Whoo!
Hey!
Hello!
Hi! What's your name, where d'you come from?
I am from Venezuela, my name is Stephanee.
So, English is your second language?
Yes, I grew up in the US
for, like, eight years or so.
So, I've been around.
Ah, Florida, muy bien. Yeah!
Muy bien. Look at you, Will,
you know... Claro que si, pero...
APPLAUSE
Why did you move to London, what was the reasoning behind that?
Uh, well, I moved to England
because I met my husband.
Aw. So, yeah, I ended up moving here.
Um, which brings me back to why the song is quite important to me
cos, uh, he passed away about two years ago.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
So, music was definitely a turning point for me.
And, uh, yeah, it's been my healer, my turning to,
but I've ended up here, and so, I have to give it my all, really.
APPLAUSE Yeah.
Well, I absolutely loved that so much.
I'm looking for someone that I can hear the emotion in their voice.
And when you start singing in a different language,
it just made me fall in love even more, so...
Yeah, I'm trying to learn some of that language.
Maybe you can be my teacher.
Hola, me llamo Anne-Marie.
Hola... Mana Maria.
I love it!
I try. That was perfect, that was perfect!
Thank you. Gracias.
Great performance, but what I love the most
is when we've got chatting to you,
your smile and your personality lights up the room,
so it's just a real honour that you're at The Voice
and let the battle begin! APPLAUSE
I would really like you on my team.
Um, I get your style. I come from an all-Mexican neighbourhood,
I know it's not Venezuela, but that's the reason
why I speak and understand Spanish,
so I understand, like, you know, the different nuances of Latin and pop.
So I would love to share my experience
with the fusion of the two, um, with you on your journey on the show.
Well, I come from a very not-Spanish neighbourhood.
But I would love you on my team,
I think we'd have so much fun.
You look amazing, you already know who you are.
I feel like we can really experiment.
You have one of my favourite voices, so...
Um, we'll see who you'd like to pick.
OK.
I'm gonna go with Will. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
All right!
Thank you guys so much.
Argh! Oh, my God!
I am so proud of you, well done!
I can't believe that people have been through
that kind of stuff, it's just...
And still have this bright energy. ..it's overwhelming. I know.
That's strength, you see, if she's come through that.
It's definitely been a hard journey
and I think he will definitely be proud that I've made it this far
and I've pushed through.
She's lovely, you know. She's got a really great personality
and I just think that's so important.
Mm. Innit?
STEPHANEE: All I could picture was as if I was singing it to him.
And I'm here now, so...
Yeah, it feels good now.
# This is The Voice! #
"The Voice is celebrating its tenth birthday.
"Congratulations on your silk anniversary."
Mine says paper anniversary.
Mine is tin. I got copper anniversary.
Oh, you gotta wear that. Oh, shut up!
WOLF WHISTLING
Now I feel like a proper OG. Cor, I love this.
Oh. Aw, copper Welsh dragon cufflinks.
Oh.
Oh! Will.i.beans! In a tin can.
That is genius! My own can.
All right, mine's... oop!
Toilet paper! Toilet paper!
That is actually your face on toilet paper.
Well, thank you, Voice. Thank you.
Happy birthday! Yeah, happy birthday, Voice.
Happy anniversary. Amazing.
I'm Jake McKechnie, I'm 16, I'm from Wigan.
I live above my grandad's pub and I help him out.
You wanna get some glasses for me and wipe table down, please.
Yeah, yeah. I will. Cheers.
Started singing when I sang in a school talent show.
The teachers pulled my grandad in and they were like,
"I think you need to do something about this."
My biggest supporter's my grandad.
This is all Jake's ever wanted to do
and I'll always support him, 100%.
Never miss a gig. Wouldn't for the world.
I gig locally, so I'm used to performing to smaller audiences.
But, back in 2017,
I was on the first series of The Voice Kids.
I was only 12 when I auditioned, so it was really nerve-wracking.
# Can you give me all of you. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It felt so amazing when Will turned around last time
and then, luckily, I got all the way to the final with him as my coach.
# Tonight's the night! #
I didn't manage to win, but now I'm ready to take on the adult Voice.
I'm nervous about today,
because I can't see myself doing anything other than music.
I've been practicing a lot for this audition.
When I watch Jake walk out on that stage,
I'm gonna be so proud and so emotional and nervous.
Nervous wreck!
It's been four years since I auditioned for The Voice Kids
and my voice has changed.
I can't wait to get back on the stage and sing for the coaches.
Maybe Will'll still recognise it.
SONG: 'Broken Strings'
# Let me hold you for the last time
# It's the last chance to feel again
# But you broke me
# Now I can't feel anything
# When I love you
# It's so untrue
# I can't even convince myself
# When I'm speaking
# It's the voice of Someone else... #
Oh!
# Oh, it tears me up
# I try to hold on
# But it hurts too much
# I try to forgive But it's not enough
# To make it all OK
# You can't play on broken strings
# You can't feel anything
# That your heart don't want to feel
# I can't tell you something That ain't real
# Oh, the truth hurts
# A lie's worse
# How can I give any more
# When I love you
# A little less than before
# Well, you know I can love you A little less
# Than before. #
APPLAUSE
My message for Will is that I really just hope he enjoyed the performance
and maybe one day in the future he'll turn.
It's gonna be another one of those regrets.
Yeah, definitely.
Wow. We're getting very picky now.
I don't think I could have sang it any better, to be honest.
No. You did amazing.
I really enjoyed singing on the stage again
and I think I sang as well as I could have done.
How old was he, 16? How old do you think?
Yeah. 16?
Ah! That voice. Wow. Great singer for 16!
He was on The Voice Kids! He was on The Voice Kids?!
Oh, no! This is horrible.
You know you've only got so many places.
It's just so difficult.
Proud of you and that's that. I'm really proud of you.
Don't matter, does it? You did amazing.
Is that me? Is that a lookalike?
That looks like me! So, that's your doppelganger?
Yeah, that's his double. Yeah, look!
How do we know that that's not you and you're a replacement?
And you're him? Exactly. Exactly.
ANNE-MARIE LAUGHS ANNOUNCER: Stand by! Here we go!
This is crazy, man.
I'm CJ. I'm Emma.
And... Why did you stutter?!
I'm nervous, sorry!
I'm CJ. I'm Emmanuela.
I'm Chelsea. And we are Psalm Harmony.
We all met in the choir at church
and then we all went off to the same university.
We'd meet in our room, start singing and we were like,
shall we take this seriously?
And then, yeah, Psalm Harmony was born.
Church has literally shaped our whole musical, like, journey.
We all learned it from church.
They're gonna be so excited when they see us on TV, actually.
I'm really nervous, cos obviously we've only been together for a year
and there's people here that've been singing for donkeys.
Donkeys. Yeah.
When people meet us,
they don't think we've been together for a year,
which is nice. I can't lie, it feels like it's been ten! Yeah!
We are so honest with each other, like, we've got it down to a point
where if one of us is off, or the pitch is rubbish,
we'll just give each other a look.
And it's just like a quick side, like, girl, fix that!
When we sing together, like,
it just makes me feel like a sense of completion.
We know that this is what we're meant to be doing with our lives
and we know that it needs to be us three that's doing it.
We're a bit nervous but, at the end of the day, we're just excited.
It's such a great opportunity for us,
I'm gonna show them everything we've got.
This experience is pretty much our first gig as a trio.
It would be beautiful if we could do this forever.
SONG: 'Spirit'
# Yeah, yeah And the wind is talking
# Yeah, yeah For the very first time
# With a melody That pulls you towards it
# Painting pictures of paradise
# Sayin' rise up
# To the light in the sky, yeah
# Watch the light lift your heart up
# Burn your flame through the night
# Yeah
# Spirit
# Can you hear it callin', callin'?
# Yeah
# Spirit
# Watch the heavens open, open
# Yeah
# Spirit
# Can you hear it callin', callin'

# Your destiny is comin' close
# Stand up and fight

Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you!
You're so good, you sounded so beautiful and you look amazing.
Thank you. I just knew that it was for Tom.
I just knew that he was gonna be doing the best for you.
And he was feeling it the whole way. And I was like,
I'll let him have it. I was into it.
Your harmonies, everything, good, the arrangement,
you had a bit of everything in it
and it's gonna be really amazing to see what you do next.
CHEERING
Welcome to The Voice!
Thank you! It was nice meeting you guys.
Well done. Well done.
Yeah. Well done, Tom,
that was a good one. Yeah, I thought so.
When I hear it, I can't deny it.
They're so amazing.
ALL TALK AT ONCE
I've smiled so much. I feel so hot.
High tens! Thank you!
Wow. They was worth it.
Again, another great one for you. Yeah, I had to go with them.

And we are... BOTH: Wayne and Morgan.
Morgan and Wayne, Wayne and Morgan, yeah.
I'm in a Motown group,
we needed another singer and Morgan came along.
We became best friends.
Yeah, and we've just been singing ever since.
I live in Scotland with my wife and four girls.
I live with my fiancee and my two boys.
We're just a couple of dads who love to sing.
On the road, having fun. That's it.
Making dad jokes!
Why did Adele cross the road? Why?
To say hello from the other side.
That's a good one!
How are you feeling?
Excitement, all the way. Excited, really excited.
Are you excited, Mia? Yeah!
They deserve this, a million percent.
I've never known anyone to work so hard all their life.
They're the best. They're the best?
Yes, they're the best.
For the first time in my life, I really met a guy that is like me.
We've got the same vibe, the same energy.
And, uh, I'm grateful.
Hey! Ay!
This is the biggest stage I've ever performed on.
I'm going to be so nervous.
Mm-hm. We're gonna be nervous.
Our dream is to just entertain, you know,
because this is what we do and this is what we love to do.
We're going to put on a show.
Yeah, we're gonna give them the voices, the moves.
The moves. The attitudes.
Attitude. Oh, the energy.
We're gonna go with the full package.
It's going to be epic, I think.
SONG: 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours'
# Oh, yeah, baby
# Like a fool I went and stayed too long
# Oh! Now I'm wondering If our love's still strong
# Ooh, baby

Johannesburg, South Africa.
I live in Scotland right now. I live in Edinburgh.
What's the name of your group? It's Wayne And Morgan.
LAUGHTER Wayne And Morgan!
Simple. Simple! Who did you come with today?
My wife and two daughters.
APPLAUSE
My fiancee's just there at the screen, smiling.
Yay! Hiya!
There she is. Yo, you guys have an awesome talent,
your blends were awesome at first,
then the energy dipped, and then it picked back up,
so that's my only constructive criticism.
Just to be aware of what's happening
so you know when the energy is dipping.
Competition so far is super high.
You're gonna have to be mindful of, like, the competition you're in.
Appreciate that, thank you. Thank you so much.
I absolutely loved the energy you brought to the show.
It was a great song choice and I think now you've just gotta go,
get some amazing coaching from Anne-Marie
and come back even better at the Battles.
I look forward to seeing what you guys do next. Well done.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm so happy that you're on my team.
I loved your voices together.
I loved all of the riffs, I loved the notes you were choosing
in your riffs, they weren't just normal riffs, you know,
they were very unusual notes.
But I love your voices so that's all I'm here for
and I'm glad that I turned.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm sure you've made your families proud today,
so well done. You're on The Voice!
Thank you so much. APPLAUSE
Well done.
You've got yourself a duo. Definitely a lot of energy there.
They were just trying to show everything.
Little too excited, that's all. Yeah, but it's fine.
Cos you can always chill that out. Oh, sure! Of course.
That's awesome foresight you have, though.
They showed a lot, I could always tell them to show less.
We did it! Yes!
We did it! Amazing!
I'm so happy.
I'm excited to see what they're gonna do.
Them two voices, if they get it right, it's gonna be...
Yeah, they'll get it right. We could have done so much better
but we made it through the next round,
so we're gonna keep going and do so much better.
Hey! The only way's up, my brother. Up, my brother.
Loved that! Felt like some energy for the people at home.
CHEERING How you doin', ladies?
You probably don't recognise me, but I went to Braintree College.
Braintree College? Yeah.
Oh, wow!
What did you study? I studied to be a personal trainer.
Really? Yeah. Fitness and health.
Yeah, I loved it. We love you, Olly!
I love you three! I love you three!
Give you a song? Go on, son.
Yeah, go on. You want me to do a song? Yeah!
Do you know what, I've actually got a song that I wanna do.
Yes. Tom, help me out with this one? What is it?
You know it, when it comes in. Solomon Burke?
Yeah. Tenchy!
Oh, I'm excited about this. This one...
is for everyone at home.
I need audience participation.
This song...
..is for everyone on the virtual screens.
We miss you.
We wish we had you in the studio right now.
Me, Sir Tom Jones, Anne-Marie and will.i.am.
You ready? Join in with me.

# This is The Voice! #
I just can't wait, I'm just absolutely bursting.
I'm bursting with excitement.
Aw, thanks, Mum. No, I'm so glad you guys are here.
I'm Owen, I'm 22, and I'm from Monmouth in Wales.
I'm currently a full-time dental student.
I'd say my favourite thing about dentistry
would have to be just interaction with people, you know,
giving them a new smile. I really enjoy it.
The first time I started singing was around the age of 14.
I didn't start taking it really seriously until a few years later.
Cos I just didn't have the confidence.
I was singing in my bedroom and my mum was stood outside
and then slowly I'd be like, "You can come in, Mum,
"but you have to stand facing the wall the first time."
I always look at Owen like he's my baby boy.
OK? Yeah.
Listening to his music is very special.
I have to admit, at heart, I am a massive mummy's boy.
She is my screensaver on my phone.
I love you. I love you, too.
I'm at a massive crossroads in my life.
Music is my passion,
and I think I've just got to take this opportunity
and I've gotta grab it with both hands.
You've just gotta get on there and, just, in your mind's eye,
just think, "Right, I'm in my bedroom again."
So proud of you, Owen, so proud.
Yeah. Very proud.
I've been watching The Voice for years with my family back in Wales,
and I've always dreamt of being that person on the stage
and I'm here today and I am that person.
I'm very nervous.
I've been rehearsing whenever I have a spare minute
cos it just means so much to me.
I want a chair to turn so badly
that I can't even describe how badly I want it.
Here we go.
As much as I love dentistry, I really wanna be a singer.
It's something that I wake up every day and I dream about.
I'm gonna give it my absolute all and hopefully that works out.
Let's do this.
SONG: 'Don't Start Now'
# Did a full 180, crazy
# Thinking 'bout the way I was
# Did the heartbreak change me?
# Maybe
# But look at where I ended up
# I'm all good already So moved on, it's scary
# I'm not where you left me at all
# So, if you don't wanna see me Dancing with somebody
# If you wanna believe That anything could stop me
# Aren't you the guy who... #
Come on, Owen! # Tried to
# Hurt me with the word goodbye?
# Though it took some time to Survive you
# I'm better on the other side
# I'm all good already So moved on, it's scary
# I'm not where you left me at all
# So if you don't wanna see me Dancing with somebody
# Oh!
# If you wanna believe
# Oh! Oh!
# Don't show up, don't come out... #
Come on!
# Don't start caring about me now
# Walk away, you know how
# Don't start caring about me now. #
APPLAUSE
Good effort, Owen.
He was a nice singer. Yeah.
I don't know why I didn't press my button.
You know what got me, it's when it,
"Weren't you the guy who, hah, tried to, hah."
Breathing. Yeah.
Sorry, guys, sometimes we overthink it. That was one of those times.
I did my best, don't think I could have done more.
It just wasn't what they were looking for,
that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
Well done. Good lad. Thanks, Mum.
This definitely isn't the end of music for me.
Music's a massive part of my life and you can't just switch it off.
You have to keep on trying, keep on grinding away
and, hopefully, one day my dream will become a reality.
This is what happens, happens every year,
when your team starts to fill up,
you start to get a little bit more picky. Yeah, exactly.
ANNOUNCER: Stand by, coaches.
This next one's gonna be special.
I'm excited.
This is nuts, isn't it? Crazy! So nervous.
But it's gonna be fine, I'm sure. It's gonna be fun.
My name's Liam, I'm 25, and I'm from Kent.
When I was 18, I moved out of home and went to uni,
studying songwriting in Brighton, and I lived on a boat.
Probably best and worst times of my life, I'd say.
Sometimes you wake up, there'd be a giant storm.
Four in the morning, all your ropes are coming untied
and I've gotta go out in my pants and just sort all this out!
Down there, the whole vibe of music was so good.
The folk in me really came out, I think.
Started writing my own music
and basically it turned into everything that I do today.
Classic singer/songwriter, I guess. What a cliche!
So glad you've come along. I'm so excited to see you play.
On a stage! Yeah.
Instead of just, like, a pub.
The majority of my shows have been very, very basic gigs,
but I love 'em all the same.
I work at a pub at the minute
and it's a great place for me to work, I think,
but definitely wanna get out of hospitality in the long run,
just do what I love.
That's always been the aim, just do what I love.
Even if I was just that guy at an open mic in my old age
who just sits there and plays guitar on the chair,
then I'd be stoked on that, like! That'd be fine!
If it all goes well, then, like, you might see me cry.
You might see me cry either way!
Right, darling, let's get you out.
Music has always been and will always be part of my life,
but this audition can take it to the next level.
That would be the dream.
SONG: 'Let Her Go'
# Staring at the bottom Of your glass
# Hoping one day You'll make a dream last
# But dreams come slow And they go so fast
# You see her When you close your eyes
# Maybe one day You'll understand why
# Everything you touch surely dies
# Cos you only need the light When it's burning low
# Only miss the sun When it starts to snow
# Only know you love her When you let her go
# Staring at the ceiling in the dark
# Same old empty feeling In your heart
# But love comes slow And it goes so fast
# Well, you see her When you fall asleep
# But never to touch And never to keep
# Cos you loved her too much And you dived too deep
# Cos you only need the light When it's burning low
# Only miss the sun When it starts to snow
# Only know you love her When you let her go
# Oh, oh, oh
# Only know you've been high When you're feeling low
# Only hate the road When you're missing home
# Only know you love her When you let her go
# You let her go. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh. What I'm saying.
What was wrong? I don't know.
I went out there and gave 100%,
it just wasn't what they were looking for today.
For me, it was a nice cake, but not sweet enough.
Yeah, it was a hard one that one, cos I was a bit like 50/50.
Yup. Oh.
Great tune.
This isn't the end of music for me,
I'll definitely be out in a pub somewhere soon.
Just wasn't on the cards today.
# This is The Voice! #
You've got one chance, haven't you?
You go out there and you have to do it.
It's life-changing, innit? If things go well.
I just have to get the chairs to turn.
I'm so proud of you.
I really want it. I really want you to get it.
You will, babe. You'll get it.
It is at that point in the competition where, you know,
we have got less spaces to fill. Yeah.
Think this is gonna be the magic one.
This one? Yeah.
You think so? It's what my gut says.
I'm never gonna get this opportunity again, something this big, I mean,
coming from Belmullet.
I just hope I swim and not sink.
LAUGHTER Let's hope you've a big float.
My name is Chantelle Padden, and I am 24 years old.
I grew up in a little town called Belmullet,
in the west of Ireland.
There's less than 1,000 people in it, so it's fairly small,
it's in the middle of nowhere.
Singing started for me when I was very young.
My grandad would always be heading off on the weekend,
going to do a gig.
Irish country was the main genre
and at the time I was like, "Oh, cool, he sings,"
and then, as I got older, I was like, "I wanna go with him."
We were the only grandfather/grandaughter duo
in County Mayo at the time. Maybe Ireland, possibly.
When I was 15, my grandad retired.
Probably the most heartbreaking year of my life!
I didn't know whether to keep going or just study on school.
I'm glad I kept going.
When you love something, it's very hard to give it up.
You're gonna be a superstar!
Don't forget me.
I don't think you'd let me! No, I won't.
She's very passionate about music and has been since she could speak.
From when she wakes up until she goes to sleep, she's singing.
Unfortunately, my grandad won't be able to be here in person,
but, hopefully, this will be Grandad's proudest moment.
The Voice could change my life forever.
It could be that one yes that I've been waiting for.
Hopefully, they like what they hear.
SONG: 'When I Look At You'
# Everybody needs inspiration
# Everybody needs a song
# A beautiful melody
# When the night's so long
# Cos there is no guarantees
# That this life is easy Yeah, when my
# World is falling apart
# When there's no light To break up the dark
# That's when I
# I
# I look at you
# You appear just like a dream to me
# Just like kaleidoscope colours
# That cover me, all I need
# Every breath that I breathe
# Don't you know
# You're beautiful... #
Whoo! Come on!
Wow.
# Oh
# That's when I
# I look at you
# And I look at you. #
Yes!
Thank you so much. Wow.
Hey, hello! What's your name?
My name is Chantelle Padden. Oh, I'm shakin'!
Thank you so much! Where are you from?
I am from a little town called Belmullet
in County Mayo, in the west of Ireland.
Nice. Woo-hoo! Ireland.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I feel like I made a mistake there, so I'm sorry I didn't turn around.
You're OK! You were amazing.
Like, unbelievable. Oh, thank you!
I have no excuse. I'm a schmuck!
LAUGHTER
Well, it's the truth. Can't fault what you did.
You've got a beautiful voice and you have strength.
That was really something.
Thank you so much.
But, you know, you've got two great people to pick from here.
I didn't want to push my button, but you pressed my button.
So... Aw, thank you so much!
Really, that... you kept pushing and pushing
and showing us how strong your voice is.
Country, that's the lane that you, that you see yourself in?
Country with a bit of a twist, I guess.
He's gonna drop a name, now.
I love the likes of Miley and I listen to you as well, Anne-Marie.
You know, Miley Cyrus is awesome.
She comes from country, I wrote a song for her.
Like, a country twist kind of song.
I know how to do those songs!
With me, it's just about experimenting
and having fun doing it.
I would love for you to be on my team. You're awesome.
That was phenomenal. Like, genuinely. Like, you sound great,
you look amazing as well. Aw!
You know, country music is still such a popular style of music,
it's so current, still.
For me, it isn't about us putting you near Miley Cyrus,
it's about just making you you.
Just keep in that lane,
keep doing them country songs, and just make you shine.
Thank you so much.
I'm actually overwhelmed and in shock.
Thank you so, so much, both of you, for turning.
It really, really... Oh, it means the world to me.
Um...
This is possibly the hardest decision I've ever had to make!
I'm gonna go with my gut.
I'm gonna go with...
..Olly. Yes! Whoo!
We'll have to air hug!
You're amazing!
Whoo, didn't expect that!
Well done. Well done. That's great.
I didn't expect that.
Woo-hoo! Whoo!
Well done! Were you scared?
Oh, my Lord! So last minute...
Amazing, well done!
I'm so happy! I'm so happy. Told you.
I thought you were both gonna turn.
Yeah. I like her voice, though. I'm excited cos she's got, like...
Oh, she can sing. That was good.
Hello, Grandad! 'Ah, congratulations!
'You always had that talent, you know,
'since you were young, you know.
'It was there since you were eight, nine, ten,
'since probably younger than that.'
I wouldn't be here without all your years of hard work and...
'Oh, listen...' ..and support, so...
'Listen here, you've done me proud, you know, so wonderful.'
We're going home happy anyway, thankfully.
