Last night, the battles began.
12 team-mates put friendship aside
and fought for a place in the knockouts.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Boo-yah, how do you like them apples?
The winner!
Six were victorious.
So happy.
'Four lost.
'But two...'
We have steals, two of them...
'..were stolen.'
Tonight, 12 more team-mates go voice to voice in the battle ring.
That was mega...dope.
With only two steals remaining...
Come on! You deserve to go through.
..it's all-out war.
Who will make it to the knockouts? And who will go home?
Tom, who is the winner...?
Only the coaches can decide.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, and welcome to The Voice, The Battle Rounds.
Each coach has paired up their singers
to fight for a place in the next stage of the competition.
And who stays and who goes is up to the artist's own coach.
Here to turn singers into superstars,
four of the biggest names in music.
Will.i.am.
Jessie J.
Sir Tom Jones.
And Danny O'Donoghue.
- Good evening, coaches, are you lot ready for this, or what? - Yeah!
Let's do it!
Tonight, four superstar coaches and six amazing battles.
So let's do this. Here is how our first battle is shaping up.
It's Team Will.
At the blind auditions,
24-year-old Essex girl Leanne was looking for her big break.
I've been in girl bands, tribute acts,
but I go two steps forward and then two steps back again.
And Will pulled out all the stops to recruit her.
- I turned around first... - I turned around cooler.
I'm going to go for Will.i.am.
Carla and Barbara's operatic audition was a real one-of-a-kind.
SONG: "The Flower Duet" from Lakme
And their soaring vocals left Will smitten.
Have you heard of love at first sight? I had love at first note.
'Leanne is a power singer,
'Carla and Barbara is like angelic opera.'
Let's do some "POP-ERA" right now.
The song that you guys are going to be singing is Hero by Mariah.
You know it. It's, like, thebomb.com.
Helping Will coach is music producer
and founding member of the Black Eyed Peas, Dante Santiago.
The reason why I'm Will.i.am's right-hand man
is because I have a talent for picking talent.
So what do you guys think about the song selection?
I'm nervous about this.
- Why? - This is outside of the comfort zone. - That's OK.
That's like...culture exchange.
SHE SINGS WITHOUT CONFIDENCE
- OK, sorry. - Yeah? - Yeah. 'I clammed up.'
Inside, I was having a little panic attack.
SHE SINGS IN ITALIAN
OK, sorry.
SHE SINGS AND FALTERS
Can you play the next bit?
You have plenty of time to rehearse it later on,
but let's get through it so she has a chance.
I did what I could, but it was more about Carla and Barbara, really.
That's your bit.
SHE SINGS VERY QUIETLY
'Honestly? It was a mess.'
Kind of have to let Barbara and Carla go off and learn it...
separately.
After a shaky start,
the battle begins to hot up in studio rehearsals.
THEY SING WITH CONFIDENCE
I think it's much better than the first time through it.
I really feel that we did well.
♪ So when you feel like hope is gone... ♪
'It is a battle,'
so I'm doing, like, a really high almost operatic note at the end.
SHE SINGS A VERY HIGH-PITCHED NOTE
Wow, wow, wow.
Leanne is now singing one of my high notes.
We just have to trust in what we do.
Leanne hit a high note
because she was in the company of the two-headed opera dragon.
♪ Ah! Rawr!
♪ Ah! Rawr! ♪
And Leanne's, like...
♪ Ooh! Rawr! ♪
It's going to be close, it's going to be hot.
This is such a big moment for me,
it could be the start of the dream career
that I've always wanted to do.
Will's had a lot of faith in us. And we've worked very, very hard on this.
We're going to go out there
and we're going to give it everything we've got.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Two music styles are about to collide - soul versus opera.
Into the ring, the belting voice of Essex girl, Leanne Jarvis.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Against the double power of opera duo, Carla and Barbara.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let the battle commence.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
♪ There's a hero
♪ If you look inside your heart
♪ You don't have to be afraid
♪ Of what you are
SHE SINGS IN ITALIAN
THEY SING IN ITALIAN
♪ Lord knows
♪ Dreams are hard to follow
♪ But don't let anyone
♪ Tear them away!
SHE SINGS IN ITALIAN
♪ Oh, oh-oh, oh
♪ In time
♪ You'll find a way
CARLA AND BARBARA CONTINUE TO SING IN ITALIAN
♪ With the strength to carry on
♪ And you cast your fears aside
♪ And you know you can survive
♪ So when you feel like hope is gone
♪ Look inside you and be strong
♪ And you'll finally see the truth
♪ That a hero lies in
- # You - Hero
- # Ooh - Hero
TOGETHER: # Hero
♪ La luce dentro
- HIGH-PITCHED: - # Te! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Give it up for Leanne, Carla and Barbara! Come on!
That's a battle!
Wow! What an incredible battle!
Jessie. They both got four turns in the blind auditions.
Do you think it was an even match today?
For me I think you're both incredibly talented. That's not changed at all.
For me, I just thought the song choice was horrific.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
It was a great palette to see two worlds come together,
and that's reason why the song was picked.
It's the most karaoke classic and you guys are better than that song,
and I was just like, really?
I'm always a fan of trying to get different styles and mixing them.
I think one of the reasons why people can't connect with opera
is because it is in a different language.
If you maybe had have sung in English,
maybe it would've had a different theme to it....
And a song that's fresh.
- That no-one's heard sung a thousand times. - Yeah.
Opera is appreciated all over the world,
so to say it's not popular because of English, it's not true.
Music is supposed to bring us together,
whether you're singing in Latin,
Zimbabwe, whatever you're speaking...
LAUGHTER
It's the melody that's hitting our hearts, you know?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Gangnam Style, it's big - he's speaking in Korean!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You know, opera singers singing pop songs
scares the...out of me.
LAUGHTER
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I want that Tom to stay.
Leanne, you did spectacular.
Carla and Barbara, I could listen to you guys all day every day.
I would like to record songs with you guys
because, wow, I think we would make original material that's so fresh.
This is hard.
AUDIENCE SHOUT THEIR FAVOURITES
I mean, come on now! I heard what you said!
Silencia! Mi mente, yo quiero mi mente - silencia!
I speak Spanish too.
LAUGHTER
- I'm going to choose... - Leanne.
To move forward in the battles...
I'm going to go with Leanne.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's just so overwhelming.
I can't believe I've been given the opportunity
for Will to believe in me, to take me forward, it's amazing.
I can't believe it!
I can't stop crying, I'm snotting everywhere and everything!
OK, Carla and Barbara are now available for a steal.
And because Jessie and Tom have already stolen,
Danny is the only coach who is able to save them.
Will needed both Barbara and I to step outside of our box.
We really worked extremely hard. We want to stay here.
We really, really want to stay here.
OK, Carla and Barbra, it's looking like unfortunately
you've not been stolen, but you guys have been absolutely fantastic.
So please, Carla and Barbra, everybody! Come on!
♪ Time to say goodbye. ♪
Thank you, guys.
It's been a pleasure.
I learned so much from working with you guys, you guys are amazing.
'Carla and Barbra are amazing.
'Having that type of skill on my team was just'
a pleasure and a treat.
'And Leanne's an amazing singer.'
- Well done. - Don't rub my hair! Mess up my hair!
It's not working out very well, is it.
You said "karaoke classic", I was like, "yes!".
It is though.
- Everyone knows that song. - Mmm.
Leanne's great.
Give her a great song next time, Will.
Next up, it's Team Tom.
Yeah!
Hailing from a small town in Wales,
18-year-old Elise had her sights set on the big time,
and Tom couldn't resist playing his trump card.
We're the only two Welsh people up on this stage
so that's all I have to say.
Despite her inexperience,
young mum of two Cherelle was determined to set an example.
I want my children to be proud of me. If you try, you can live your dream.
The thing that I was listening to
was the passion that you put into it.
Elise and Cherelle both sound great.
And the song is All About Tonight.
It's going to be a tough one.
Look out.
My battle adviser, Miss Cerys Matthews.
We know one another very well and I respect her judgement.
Being in a battle formation, it's really important to try
and find your own voice and try and do something a bit different.
It's not easy.
- # I've got a new pair of shoes. - #
'I haven't had any vocal training'
and my first vocal lesson was with Tom Jones. Hello!
♪ There will be dancing and singing... ♪
Talk about star-struck, I was standing in front of him,
I'm like, "Oh, my God, control yourself".
Yeah!
- She's from Neath. - I know.
- Another Welsh girl. - Yeah.
Who are your singing heroes?
LAUGHTER
Sing Green Green Grass Of Home.
Sing it?
Yeah, in the Tom manner.
Oh...
'And I'm just like, "What, now?" '
And she was like, "Yeah."
- # If you want to. - OK.
'Yes, they'll come to see me... #
'I had this feeling in my belly that Cerys was going to turn to me next'
and say, "You sing something Tom Jones"!
I'm just like, "Sex bomb, sex bomb." You didn't do no homework, Cherelle.
♪ Green grass of home. ♪
APPLAUSE
Yeah!
'Singing it to him was the best moment of my life.
'I've worked so hard to get here'
and now it's all real and I can't...I can't believe it.
'Even though they come from different backgrounds, I think
'the desire is as strong on both sides.'
'I have to do this.
'I'm here for my dream and my kids and my future.'
'I don't want to be one of those people
'that stays in that small town and never leaves.
'This performance is going to define the rest of my life.'
From Croydon, it's mum of two Cherelle Basquine!
From Neath, it's 18-year-old Elise Evans!
Let battle commence.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done. Well done.
Cherelle and Elise!
My goodness me, Tom, I do not envy you at all.
- I'll come back to you in a moment. - Oh, thanks.
Danny, let's start with you, see if you can help out.
I thought it was a great battle.
Because you are so closely matched, I was looking for who was more
comfortable on the higher notes and I think Elise,
you were a lot more comfortable on the higher notes, because you had
a certain grit and gravel in your voice that I find really soothing.
I don't know who I would choose, to be honest with you.
I would choose Cherelle, but then I would choose Elise
but then I would go back to Cherelle.
And then I'd go back to Elise. So I don't know.
It's going to be tough on Tom.
TFT, tough for Tom.
Oh, thanks. That's the problem, you see.
They're two strong singers.
But all in all, it's very, very difficult for me.
Tom, who is the winner of this battle?
SHOUTING FROM AUDIENCE
Ah...
I think I'll have to go with Cherelle.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Cherelle is our winner, congratulations!
You go through to the knockout!
Really?
So, pretty emotional right now.
I'm so happy, thank you. Oh, my gosh.
Let's give it up for Cherelle!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I am over the moon. I got through! I'm on Team Tom!
So Elise is now available for a steal.
But as Jessie has already stolen,
Danny and Will are the only coaches who can save her.
First, I'd like to say to Tom thank you so much
for everything that you've done for me.
It's been an amazing experience and I've loved working with you so much.
I'm getting emotional.
Thank you all, you all turned for me, nothing can top that.
So thank you all so much. Thank you.
You've seen what has happened,
none of the coaches have chosen to steal Elise today.
I just want to say, Elise, you've got time on your side.
You're young, you're hungry for it,
I can see that and I'm sure we'll be seeing you again. Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much. - It was so hard for me. - It's all right.
I didn't know which way to go.
I was shocked he chose Cherelle.
I would've absolutely went with Elise, hands down, all day long,
but you never know what the old silver fox has under his sleeve.
Cherelle has got a really soulful voice, you know,
and I just lean that way.
With Elise, she is young and she can do other things, but it was close.
Next up - it's Team Jessie.
At the blind auditions rap and soul duo De'Vide
used their distinctive styles to serenade Jessie.
♪ My girl. Wooh! ♪
Team Jessie, baby! Yeah!
Danny's more of a bedroom singer, but his unique tone was enough
to take him through.
This is like the third time I've ever sung publicly.
Sheesh!
The next battle is between Danny and De'Vide.
I put them together because for me they were the two quirkiest.
And you will be singing Best I Ever Had, Drake.
Yes. That is sick.
Cos I rap I was thinking, that's a perfect song.
I'm just feeling on top of the world right now.
Helping Jessie is Grammy-nominated writer and producer Claude Kelly.
The chance of failure is high.
This is the time to see who really rises to the top
and who buckles under the pressure.
Take it from the top with the rap.
HE RAPS
Call me when there's no-one there
Put the key... That's a little bit slow.
- It is slow. - I get it.
It's a matter of just working with it, yeah.
- RAPS: - Know you... # Sorry.
You should never walk into a rehearsal at least without some idea.
You should come in here more confident than anybody else.
- RAPS: - Put the key under the mat even though...
Keep going, keep going. Push through it.
'The session with Jessie, for me, was kind of'
real not hit, a lot of miss.
I'm the only person that's given a rapper a chance in this competition.
So don't take that for granted cos right now,
he ain't scared of you two at all. I can tell you that.
It's like a big glove and I'm an extra-small hand trying to fit
into there, do you know what I mean?
I'll be bluntly honest,
I don't know if I made a mistake in turning round for De'Vide.
But at studio rehearsals,
De'Vide are determined to prove Jessie wrong.
Lex and Barney have obviously gone away
and had a talk about how they can together bring something as De'Vide.
Lex's rap was much better, but Danny for me seems a little afraid.
You look like you're worried all the time. Just enjoy it.
We've both had little stutters here and there.
They've got a lot more experience than me
so the nerves definitely need to be controlled.
Relax.
I think Danny's lack of experience is starting to show.
The tables are turning.
'De'Vide had a shaky start. They've come back really strong.
'I really do feel I have to prove myself here.'
'When we go out there, it's all about proving to Jessie
'why she picked us and that we deserve to be here.'
It's a battle of three from Team Jessie.
Going solo, it's a London lad Danny County.
But doubling up, it's the Ipswich boys De'Vide.
Let the battle commence.
♪ Baby, you're my everything
♪ You're all I ever wanted
♪ We could do it real big Bigger than you've ever done
♪ You be up on everything Other girls ain't never on it

APPLAUSE
Give it up for Danny and De'Vide!
APPLAUSE
Danny, you were enjoying yourself.
I don't remember the last time
I saw dance moves like that. Enjoy yourself?
Definitely, it was nice to be able to move around a bit.
Easy! Easy, easy!
All three of you guys are freakin' fresh.
But, Danny, I was just a little blown away by your personality.
It seems like I'm watching the beginning of a big, big,
huge global star, you're really fresh.
CHEERING
I thought, guys, you did a great performance,
but I really think you have a special voice.
I'll forgive the dance moves and the short trousers!
I think your style is as unique as your voice is.
CHEERING
I felt like De'Vide have really,
really homed in on vocals and how you guys work together as a two.
Everyone is going to get to see
how far you've come from the blinds to now.
And it's the same with Danny. I watched you and was, like, "Wow."
So, well done to both of you. It's a tough one.
CHEERING AND SHOUTING
The winner of this battle...
..is...
Danny.
CHEERING
Congratulations once again to Danny.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Danny one more time, come on!
I'll be practising that! Well done, dude!
Well done!
OK, De'Vide are now available for a steal.
I'd just like to say that I am really humbled and happy
to be here right now in front of the coaches and everybody here.
It was kind of hard for me at the start,
but Jessie brought it out of me, like, bang!
So, I don't know, I don't want the journey to end here.
I want to carry on learning regardless.
It looks like none of our coaches have decided to steal De'Vide.
Will, what would you like to say?
I would like to say De'Vide, you guys are fresh.
And if the Black Eyed Peas would have joined a contest like this
we wouldn't have won.
But we won in the world.
This isn't the end of the world.
There is a place for you guys in it to do something real magnificent.
You guys are really talented.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.
CHEERING
Well done, boys!
Well done.
Good boys.
I didn't steal De'Vide because I really felt there was nothing I could do for them.
Although they are a duet, it seemed like two solo stars.
That Danny guy is freakin' fresh.
Really.
- You know I'm right here. - The other Danny!
That is honestly the best feeling in my life.
I'm overwhelmed.
Next up, it's Team Will.
Belfast fashion student Leah uses singing
to showcase her unique style.
I think fashion is important,
whether you are a musician or an artist, they go hand in hand.
And her quirky vocals proved a hit with the coaches.
I'm going to go with Will.
Charity worker CJ's performance was all about the beat.
Everything I do stems from how it's going to sound, rhythmically.
And won him the final spot on Will's team.
You are going to be dope, but that thing says "voice" not "hands".
If you are just going to judge it from the blinds, Leah is victorious.
But CJ can turn this whole thing around.
That's why the battles are the battles. It's about to get tough.
Michael Jackson. Come with it.
I didn't think in my wildest dreams that
I would ever do something like this, but now I just have to bring it.
'Leah has undeniable talent,'
but CJ, I think, when it's game time, he's ready to go.
♪ The way you make me feel. ♪
I like the stuff you're doing. I like the stuff you're doing.
You surprised me a whole bunch, though.
There's definitely a chance I could lose this battle, CJ is so good.
If I didn't turn for you, I would have been missing a person.
You didn't like the clapping at all!
The clapping? That was, like, bad.
Do you think people at home are, like, "Damn, that boy can clap!"
LAUGHTER
I think, I still like the clapping. I'm not going to lie.
♪ Hey, pretty baby with your high heels on. ♪
Michael Jackson, above all else, was a performer.
I think that is something I can bring to the song.
I think that one of my weaknesses would be the stage performance.
That is actually something that CJ is so good at.
♪ The way you make me feel. ♪
it's like, Leah's a lion. CJ could be a dragon dressed up as a gazelle.
Barbeque lion.
Dope, dope, dope.
'Will took a gamble on me,
'and now I need to show him that he did make the right decision.'
'This is it, I just need to put 100% into it
'and just know I did the best performance I could do.'
Two singers will enter the ring, but only one can go the distance.
First, Will's final choice,
hoping to stay Will's only choice, CJ Edwards!
APPLAUSE
Up against Belfast girl, Leah McFall!
APPLAUSE
Let the battle commence.
♪ Hey, pretty baby with your high heels on
♪ You give me fever like I've never, ever known
♪ You're just a product of loveliness
♪ I like the groove of your walk your talk, your dress
♪ I feel your fever from miles around

APPLAUSE
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for CJ and Leah!
APPLAUSE
Jessie J caught your hat there.
That was a good catch. Oh, that looks good!
Good tactics there, good tactics.
Will, you've got a decision to make, you're up on your feet.
I was blown away, that was amazing.
APPLAUSE
For me, I actually feel like, vocally, Leah was stronger,
but performance-wise, I kept watching CJ.
Leah, you can sing, girl, you can sing,
so you really need to show it in your body and performance.
I think you've got a tough decision. But do you want it back? ready?
Let's see if you can catch!
- That was terrible, sorry! - It's OK!
So tell me, if it was down to you.
That would be a hard one because
they're so different from one another.
But just watching the performance, I think I would lean towards CJ.
APPLAUSE
CJ, you've come a long, long way.
That was dope.
I got subtitles too, for those.
Leah, CJ did control the stage,
but you still did your thizinng.
- What? - Thizing. You know, like, thi-ZING.
- Oh, I see. - It's a hood thing. It's a hood thing.
LAUGHTER
Will, it is time to make your decision.
The person that I am going to push through...
..it's not because they were just dope,
it's because they were mega dope.
And that would be...
..Leah.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
We have a winning artist, it is Leah! Well done, my darling!
But it's not over yet. CJ is available for a steal.
But as Tom and Jessie have already stolen,
it's only Danny that can save him.
You going to go?
Listen, this guy right here? Freakin' rocked the stage!
I would love to keep on going.
- This dude is a fighter. - I am more than willing to learn.
OK, CJ, it is the end of your time here on The Voice.
But you have been a brilliant artist, thank you so much.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
I can only take positives from this.
He's improved tremendously since the guy that came on stage
clapping, but not to the point where I'd let Leah go home.
Next up, it's Team Jessie.
At the blind auditions, 22-year-old waitress, Lovelle,
delivered a performance that left Jessie wanting more.
Believe in me because I believe in you.
I'm going to pick you, Jessie.
33-year-old, Nate, has already had success.
Welcome, Nate James.
But fame slipped through his fingers.
Got signed, got dropped, got signed, got dropped.
In the next battle we have Nate and Lovelle.
She can sing higher than I can.
She's prettier than I am, she's younger than I am.
She's got a lot of things going for her, that Lovelle.
And you will be singing No Air, by Chris Brown and Jordan Sparks.
So Nate has had albums out, he's toured countries.
I don't feel scared about it.
♪ Can't live can't breathe with no air... ♪
It's not your obvious battle song. It's a love song.
♪ Tell me how you're going to be without me... ♪
I had to really get tough on Nate.
He was really holding back and emotionally, was so blank.
- Claude was like, come on! - I'm going to be brutal.
- She's carrying you right now, emotionally. - OK.
I don't mean to be horrible,
but I feel like it went a bit better for me.
Maybe when I'm singing to him, maybe he can just bounce off of that.
- My name is Lovelle, honey, love me. - Love Lovelle.
I love this.
I think with having had a career so far, I've got a bit of baggage.
I just need to get that off and just look forwards.
But at studio rehearsals, Jessie's still not convinced.
You could make this such a beautiful performance,
but I want you to grow into it. You guys could start back to back.
Come on!
♪ Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe without air
♪ It's how I feel whenever you ain't there... ♪
I think it was the first time that I really felt the song
and I got goose bumps.
Turn and face each other.
I'm going to cry.
- I was feeling that. - Sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
I think this battle between Nate and Lovelle is either going to be
insanely amazing, or it's going to be a piece of toast with nothing on it.
'Today is a very pivotal point for me.
'I'm now back with a chance to really make this thing happen.'
'Nate has the experience, you know, he's been around for a long time.
'But right now, I have the hunger.'
Two contenders will sing for Jessie, but only one can stay on her team.
First of all, the soul man who's tasted success but wants more.
It's Nate James.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Going against the London waitress with pop potential,
it's Lovelle Hill.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's hear it for Nate and Lovelle! Come on!
OK, well, Jessie, you put this battle together,
- was it everything that you wanted it to be? - No!
No, I'm your coach,
I'm not here to, you know, be anything other than honest.
I don't think that was the best performance
I've seen you guys do that song.
The key that the song was in, you know,
you shine more on it, Lovelle.
But it was comfortable for her to do a fantastic job.
I would choose Nate, because he had the thing down.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It went so close, you know, I kind of go with feel,
rhythm and timing. I thought your timing was in, out of the two,
so I would probably go with Nate.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
As I always say, for me, this is never a tough decision,
because I'm actually just very proud of being part of this show
and being able to showcase two artists
that deserve to be at this point anyway.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I want to make this clear that I'm basing this decision
purely on the person that I feel like I could coach better.
So, the winner of this battle...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..is Lovelle. CHEERING
Congratulations to Lovelle.
You're going through to the knockouts.
- Show him some love, come on. - You better steal him.
Ladies and gentlemen, please make some noise for Lovelle, come on!
I believe in you. OK? CHEERING
APPLAUSE
Right, this means that Nate is now available for a steal.
OK, Nate, this is it,
so do you want to tell these coaches how you're feeling right now?
A bit shocked, but I've come this far, I don't want to go home,
I've got a lot more to give, it's just the start,
so, yeah, bring it on, boys.
Come on! CHEERING
He deserves to go through.
And that unfortunately, is that, ladies and gentlemen.
- Nate, he hasn't been stolen, but he was fantastic, wasn't he? - CHEERING
Can you please give it up one more time for the fantastic Nate James!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done, Nate. Well done.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I thought that Nate was a better tone.
Obviously, Jessie has seen something in Lovelle that
I haven't seen or I haven't heard yet.
The final battle of the night, it's Team Danny.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
18-year-old busker Conor took himself from the
pavements of Belfast straight into his idol's team.
CHEERING
We're going to get along great, me and you.
And loved up couple, Smith & Jones
found themselves in a new relationship with a superstar.
Welcome to Team Danny!
So, it's Smith & Jones going up against Conor.
They're both guitar players, they both have youth on their side.
I think it's going to be an all-out battle.
Danny is taking battle advice from an artist
with over 30 million record sales, Dido.
Singing is such a sort of personal thing, and making it
a competition with someone, but you're also trying to make the best
performance with them, that's a tough little thing they have to do.
♪ Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck. ♪
Conor's voice is like, whoa, powerful.
That is one of our worries, that when on stage,
were going to be, like, left behind.
But every time the three of you are singing together,
there can't really be a lead. Just get right in there.
I am really loud.
'My mum always tells me to be quiet.'
Like, "Conor, will you talk instead of shouting?!"
Stage-wise, I think it's going to look great, two guitars up there.
What am I going to do? Just be in the middle?!
They are little lovebirds, aren't they?!
Sometimes we have conflicting ideas.
- Artistic differences, I think, is the term. - Yes. - Sweetheart.
You stop for two seconds and then you turn around and they're just at it!
No offence to you, but me and Conor are musicians as well.
- So it's cool that... - I'm a musician!
I know, but like, we play guitars and he plays the guitar.
But you're a musician as well, don't worry!
I know you're a musician as well!
I hope they break up so I go through!
- What don't you like about that? - You just said I'm not a musician!
I didn't say you weren't a musician,
- we play the guitar, do you play the guitar? - The ukelele!
- # What do I stand for? # - Conor is a lot more unashamed,
cos he's so used to being on his own,
entertaining a crowd, so I think Smith & Jones
really need to show them that there's two people on stage.
You know, this is your time to shine, so shine.
'This is a really big deal for me, you know, cos if I go home, for me,
'it's just back to busking.
'It's not really an option I want to take.'
'Like, this year, we're Danny's only duo.'
So let's hope Danny sees something in us over Conor.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's the battle of the buskers, it's two versus one,
ready to rumble, the 18-year-old from Belfast, Conor Scott!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Versus the loved up duo Smith & Jones!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK, relax, relax.
Let battle commence!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Show your appreciation for Conor and Smith & Jones!
You have lipstick where your girlfriend has been kissing you,
all over your face!
You looked like you were having such an amazing time.
Oh, Danny! You really know how to make things difficult for yourself!
I will leave you with your thoughts.
Will, we'll come to you, what did you make of that?
I thought it was pretty cool,
everybody was having a jolly good time.
Conor, Smith & Jones is a very... That's a pretty nice group.
- It's true. - You got that, Smith & Jones album?! - Yeah!
Conor, Smith & Jones! Album title - Jolly!
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
But it didn't seem like a battle to me.
They were all so much together,
that it was hard to sort of try and split them up.
- I have a really hard decision to make now. - Yes, you do.
You have a hard decision to make!
CHEERING
- Let's go. - The winner of this battle, for me...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS NAMES
..Conor.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Congratulations. Conor is the winner,
he goes through to the knockout rounds as part of Team Danny.
- I didn't think I was going to cry. - It obviously meant so much to you.
Somebody please hit the button for them, guys, seriously, like.
- Give it up for Conor! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
- I saw you messing up that part, don't worry about it. - Well done!
Oh, look at his mum!
Right, so, Smith & Jones, are available for a steal.
'But as they are on Team Danny,
'Will is the only coach who can steal them.'
We just want to say thank you to Danny
because it's been great to meet you and work with you,
we've got so much more to give, that wasn't all of us.
Guys, looks like there is no steal, so,
this is the end of the road for your time on The Voice, Smith & Jones!
I can't believe it, I'm shocked. I'm in shock, seriously.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Some singers have a full package, so if somebody blows me away,
I want to steal them, if not,
I'm not trying to steal just to steal.
I think being in the competition has helped us
become stronger as a couple and it's all going to help us to go forward,
- away from the competition. - Yeah. - Yeah? - Yeah. - Yeah.
I didn't pick Smith & Jones, not because of the talent,
you know, because they're right up here,
it just so happened on the day that Conor was up here.
Living the dream! Oh, we are so proud of you.
My heart's bursting with pride!
So, after a second round of vocal warfare,
the coaches continue to pick their perfect teams.
But Will and Danny are still holding out on those precious steals.
Come on! He deserves to go through!
Team Will were first into battle,
he chose Leanne and had no doubts in picking Leah.
Jessie added two more to her team with Danny and Lovelle.
Cherelle's heart and soul convinced Tom she was his girl.
And Danny chose Conor to go forward and sing again in the knockouts.
So, that's the state of play after tonight's battles
and what a night, they have sung their hearts out.
Thank you so much to our incredible band,
our artists and our four superstar coaches!
Join us next time as we take one step closer to finding The Voice!
- Good night! - Good night.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
In two weeks, the battle rounds reach their dramatic conclusion.
- I'm an idiot for putting you guys together. - With more steals...
- Oh, my goodness! - ..shocking decisions.
The person moving through is...
My God!
- What?! - And the coaches biggest bust up yet.
I have no idea why Jessie got upset.
It's super-battle Saturday.
I don't understand what he's doing.
