The blind auditions were incredible.
RICKY: Amazing.
KYLIE: Aaagh!
RICKY: Good, isn't it? It's good.
It was great. It was great all around.
Yeah!
It was cool.
But now...it's battle time!
Two people.
- Leo Ihenacho! - Sally Barker.
- One song. - Let the battle commence.
The bell's going to start ringing. Ding-ding!
Good luck, Kylie.
Who's going to come out swinging?
That was electrifying!
We know who can sing.
Plo, plo!
Now we've got to find the complete package.
I've got 12 and now I've got to get rid of six.
What's that about?
KYLIE: It's awful! Let's change the rules!
But you've got a chance to be stolen.
CHEERING
I just think it's going to be electric.
Get ready to slice, dice...
Meow!
..and do everything nice.
It's time for the battles!
You're in for a treat.
CHEERING
Hello and welcome to The Voice: The Battles!
Make some noise for The Voice coaches!
Ricky Wilson!
Sir Tom Jones!
The beautiful Kylie!
Mr Will.i.am!
CHEERING
Everyone, we have our superstar coaches!
Here we go.
So, let tonight's battles begin.
First, it's Team Will.
Bring the action.
He's won Grammys, toured the world and sold millions,
so surely the battles present no problems for Will.i.am.
You would think that it would be easy the third time around.
But there's new people, new passions, new dreams
and I have to send people home.
That's the hardest part.
Everybody. What up? Good to see you guys.
Got two battle advisers -
Dante Santiago, the OG, original gangster.
Well, for starters,
I've worked with Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Usher,
Mariah Carey, Rihanna,
Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears,
of course, Justin Timberlake.
Yes, a really long list of people.
And then Leah McFall.
She was on my team last season.
♪ Can't get you outta my brain... ♪
I'm back!
♪ You such a sexy thing
♪ She a pretty little lady... ♪
She's still on my team so much that I brought her on the show again.
What I can offer the acts is that the competition, it's still
really fresh to me and just the experience of being on the show.
♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang
♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. ♪
CHEERING
It's time for the battles!
My first pairing is...
Jermain!
CHEERING
♪ Stop all the rivers... ♪
18-year-old Jermain Jackman wants to be the first singing
Prime Minister, but he had other votes to win first.
And that vote came from Will on the front bench.
I sing a lot, I'm into politics as well.
WILL LAUGHS
You are going to be singing against...
..K-Sarah, K-Sarah.
♪ One night only... ♪
When cat-loving Sarah Eden-Winn had the luxury of choosing
between three of the coaches...
♪ Ah-ah-ah
♪ One night only... ♪
..it was the cat in the hat that got the cream.
The song that you guys are going to be singing is
I Knew You Were Waiting
by Aretha Franklin, featuring George Michael.
CHEERING
Bang, bang...
'I love the song choice.'
It's timeless, it's classic.
'I'm coming with my A-game.'
Sarah, watch out.
♪ And fights... ♪
Sarah, she is just like a diva.
I love watching her sing, the way she lights up.
She enjoys every note.
♪ Oh-oh-ooh... ♪
Jermain's... ♪ Oh-oh-oh... ♪
I just love the way he moves his little head, like...
Just old school.
He's going to be special, that kid.
♪ Oh... ♪
Jermain and Sarah, they are both incredibly talented.
'That one's going to be a battle.'
I'm excited and nervous for that one!
We actually met a year ago, at Hackney Weekend.
- I've got a picture here. - Oh, shucks.
I met Will.i.am a year before at this music festival.
I ran up to you, "Oh, I sing, da, da, da..."
And you said, "Audition for The Voice and see where you get."
Who would have thought that I would turn around? That's nuts.
That person I told to audition, I'm the only one turned for him.
Talk about fate.
- # When we get the band in... - Mmmm
♪ And we take this to battle night
♪ We're going to tear down the house tonight
♪ Oooooh. ♪
WILL LAUGHS
'I've been gigging for almost
'Jermain's age, so I think my experience is definitely
'going to help me out with this one.'
'Will.i.am and I connect in so many ways.
'I'm going to do everything I can to not go home.'
APPLAUSE
- Hey, K-Sarah-Sar. - Hey. - How you feel?
I'm going to give it 100 million per cent.
All right. Jermain!
Yes. How you feeling?
I get nervous all the time when I'm about to perform.
Yeah, that's normal. Right now, you're nervous
and you're going to quench your nerves by singing.
Bam! How you like that? Jam!
- Wham! - My cat does that!
- All right, guys. - Thank you. - Thank you, Will. - Knock 'em out.
BELL DINGS
First in the ring tonight, Hackney's own Jermain Jackman!

CHEERING
Sarah and Jermain, everybody!
How you feeling?
I enjoyed every single second.
LAUGHTER
Jermain, how do you get so low?
It's due to the soul and the music
that I grew up listening to, of course.
But I had a wonderful time performing alongside Sarah.
CHEERING
It's going to be an incredibly tough decision, I would imagine, for Will.
So, which way would you go?
Jermain, the soul and the depth of your voice is undeniable.
It's like it just drips.
Sarah, your vocals were so crisp and clear and really cut through.
And, for that reason, I would probably
lean towards Sarah.
CHEERING
Ricky, how did you find it?
Female vocals hit me emotionally more than male vocals,
but I have to say, on that one,
Jermain got me there.
CHEERING
Hats off to Will.
APPLAUSE
Will, you must be so proud of them right now.
Yeah, it was pretty fantastic.
You guys did a great job.
So, first off,
love watching you perform, Sarah.
Like, your smile just lights up the whole entire room.
And Jermain, your lows...
♪ Oh, oh, oh... ♪
You get real low, dude. He's 18 years old!
OK, Will, who's the winner of this battle?
CHEERING
All right.
Dang.
All right. So...
- ..I was backstage, right? - Oh!
LAUGHTER
This is real stuff, this is real stuff.
CHEERING
You came up to me at Hackney Weekend.
I'm getting ready to go on stage to do my part and he's like,
"Yo, I sing." I'm like, "Oh, really?
"You should join The Voice, then."
I feel that this is cosmic,
like it's supposed to happen like this.
What are the odds of you seeing me at a show and I say,
"Go to The Voice," and then I'm the only one
that turned around for the guy.
I think I'm supposed to see him through and one of those three
is supposed to steal you and then everybody's happy.
I'm going to...
keep Jermain moving through.
CHEERING
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
Everybody, give it up for Jermain!
♪ Soul man
♪ Soul man... ♪
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
'I don't normally cry. Whenever I see my mum crying, it makes me cry.'
This is so overwhelming.
OK, Sarah, so you're no longer on Team Will,
but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the end of the road,
because you are still available for a steal.
That means the other coaches can steal her for their own team.
Sarah, is there anything you'd like to say to the coaches?
I sang my butt off tonight.
I've been singing all my life, gigging for years.
I just don't want to leave this stage.
I just feel like I can do this and I'm ready for this NOW.
OK, coaches, you only have a short amount of time left to steal Sarah.
HEARTBEAT THUMPS
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
There is no steal for you this evening.
I've had the most amazing time
and it's not the end.
- You're amazing. - You've been absolutely amazing.
As you say, it's not the end.
Keep on going. Give it up for Sarah, everybody.
You're a great singer, I loved it, honestly.
CHEERING
The battle was amazing.
I was hoping one of the other coaches stole Sarah.
This buddy's got soul, man. That voice has got soul.
In Jermain, I see an old soul. Deep down in his core,
he has this Ray Charles,
Stevie Wonder vibe, and that's rare
for an 18-year-old to possess something that is of yesteryear.
Hey!
- TOM: - She could sing, that girl.
She could, but I preferred Jermain. If I steal, I'm going
to steal someone who I think was better than the other person.
Right.
So, as the dust settles on the first battle, the coaches all have
one big decision to make -
to steal, or not to steal?
So there's this thing called the steals.
The steals are back.
Which meant that the one that didn't win the battle has another
chance to be picked up by one of the other coaches.
A steal is a very handy thing.
Say, for example, I say,
"Mary Poppins, you were good, but you weren't poppin',
"so I'm going to go with Rocking Robin."
Sometimes you think, "Oh, I wish that person was on my team!"
Tom's like, "You're going to be on my team, Mary Poppins."
There's definitely people out there that I wouldn't mind poaching.
KYLIE: I've got my eye on a couple of people, actually.
So, hopefully, the coaches see the potential in folks
and give Mary Poppins a chance.
Next into battle, it's Team Kylie.
Hi!
Team Kylie!
I cannot wait to see the battles.
- ALL: - Team Kylie!
I feel really proud to be on Team Kylie.
And so she should be.
Kylie's sold over 65 million records.
♪ I'm spinning around... ♪
Everybody knows Kylie. She's like the queen of pop.
She's won Ivor Novello,
Brit and Grammy awards.
She's done it all, and that's what I want to do.
I fell in love with each and every one of you in auditions
and now it's battle time.
So, it's going to get tricky.
So, helping Kylie with those tricky decisions is
a super-sharp special guest.
Please welcome my filthy, gorgeous Scissor Sister friend
Mr Jake Shears!
CHEERING
Hi.
♪ But I don't feel like dancing
♪ When the old Joanna plays... ♪
He's been in the industry a long time. He's a great, great front man.
♪ Gonna take your mama out all night... ♪
I appreciate having someone that I know and love help me out.
Personality is the most important thing
and that's what I'm looking for.
♪ Do it... ♪
So, the first pairing is...
Lee.
CHEERING
♪ I just can't get you out of my head... ♪
Insurance salesman Lee Glasson came from Coventry to
sell his voice to the coaches.
'I don't want to be a sales manager for the rest of my life.'
HE LAUGHS
And he sold Kylie's own song back to her with interest.
I can't get you out of my head, wow, wow, wow!
You will be singing with...
Jimmy.
CHEERING
Fellow Coventry boy Jimmy Weston also had a change of career in mind.
'You know, I'm not living for the paintbrush.'
He got three turns and a place on Team Kylie.
They want to say goodbye for ever to their normal jobs.
'They're both in it to win.'
OK, the song that you're going to be singing is
When You Were Young by The Killers.
OK, OK.
- KYLIE: Hi. JAKE: - How's it going?
- Good? - JIMMY: Nice to meet you.
Really good, mate. Really good.
Let's go from when you guys are both singing, "when you were young".
Let's try it.
♪ They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet... ♪
Jimmy's got that lovely, raspy, Bryan Adams-type rock voice.
♪ You can dip your feet... ♪
'Lee likes to really put his kind of take on it.'
♪ Every once in a little while... ♪
- Is that it? - That's where it goes in the song, but you can...
JIMMY: You'll get it, man, you'll get it.
The piano session was fairly difficult.
Jimmy kind of took the reins.
I just want to try and maybe change it around a little bit,
make it not so obvious.
♪ Express yourself... ♪
- Know what I mean? - I'm happy with it.
He seems to think that I've got more lines than him,
I've got the better sections.
Then it's Lee, then it's the chorus.
I'm singing a lot of the choruses. Do you know what I'm saying?
'That's the way it is. I've got to try and do my best.'
I've got to be better than my battle partner.
♪ Let's take it easy
♪ Easy now, watch it go... ♪
KYLIE: Yes!
♪ Burning down the skyline... ♪
- JAKE: - I think Lee was feeling a little bit inferior.
- LEE: - That was like a pure guessing game, I'm so sorry.
- JAKE: - He's just going to have to get over
any insecurities that he's got.
Yes, but Jake isn't the one entering the ring with Jimmy.
Jimmy has a lot to say.
'I'm not sure how Lee's coping with it all.'
JIMMY: You know, just be yourself, you know?
- Thanks, Jimmy. - It's true, though.
KYLIE: Right, let's do it through again.
He tends to try and give me direction, which, you know,
I'm there to get direction from a global superstar,
not Jimmy Weston from Coventry.
JIMMY: It's like, "Oh..."
KYLIE: 'Although they're both lead men, their styles
'and personalities are so different.'
JIMMY: See you in a bit. Bye!
KYLIE: How I'll make my decision...
I really do not know.
- LEE: - 'I don't want to go home.'
JIMMY: 'I really hope that Kylie can see
'that I'm a real musician up there,
'playing some rock'n'roll.
'And, hopefully, she's going to love it.'
'It's all about what we do on the day.
'He could nail it, but I intend to go out there
'and just let my voice do the talking.'
BELL DINGS
It's the vocal civil war between Kylie's Coventry boys.
Give it up for Jimmy Weston!
CHEERING
Against Mr Lee Glasson.
CHEERING
Let the battle commence.
Good luck, Kylie. SHE BLUBBERS NERVOUSLY
LAUGHTER
- MAN: - One, two, three.
♪ You sit there in your heartache
♪ Waiting on some beautiful boy to

CHEERING
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Jimmy and Lee!
Boys, come here. You guys were rocking it out.
- That was good, that was good. I enjoyed that. - It was fantastic.
- Lee, did you enjoy that? - Yeah.
Fantastic. Kylie, two of your boys,
but obviously only one place in your team.
Is that one of your favourite songs?
Absolutely one of my favourite songs.
And they both did it justice in very different ways.
You're like rock stars individually,
but more classic rock, more indie rock.
Both good.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Jimmy, that was his song.
Your voice, the rasp in your voice was just...
You have an amazing voice. But then, Lee,
your vibrato in your high notes, man, you were rocking too.
I mean, that's an amazing combo.
CHEERING
Just because it seems classic,
I would go with Jimmy.
- MARVIN: - OK, thank you, Will.
Um... It's a hard one.
Jimmy, you sounded a bit like Rod Stewart.
- Which is... - Wow. - I remember him when he first started and...
Can I say, I don't own any leopard skin hot pants.
LAUGHTER
And Lee, to me, you sounded a bit tense,
like you wanted to eat that microphone.
You wanted to...
But then looking at your arms, I can understand why.
I was going to say, Tom, I'm feeling these shoulders here.
He looks like he works out a lot.
I don't want to put him down,
cos he might come over here and give me a right hand!
So, you've got to be careful.
But with the high notes, you were less tense
and you sort of started to float up there.
- LEE: - Thank you.
Thank you, Tom.
Wait a second, Tom's talking about being tense
and I've realised I'm in a little ball here. I'm tense!
- A very tough decision. - Mmm.
And we need an answer from you, please, Kylie.
- WOMAN: - Jimmy!
AUDIENCE SHOUTS
Um...
To take through to the next round...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS
OK, OK, got it, got it.
The winner of this battle...
- ..is Lee. - Lee!
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
Lee, congratulations. How are you feeling, man?
Words can't describe.
Thank you so much.
And Jimmy, we've kind of had our differences, but he's so talented.
He's a great guy. So, thank you so much. Thank you.
Congratulations, go and see Kylie.
Give it up to Lee, everyone!
- Thank you so much. - I'm proud of you.
- WOMAN: - Jimmy! - Hello, Mum. - MAN: Well done, mate.
Jimmy, it might not be the end of the road for you yet,
as you're now available for a steal.
That means the other coaches can steal for their own team.
Is there anything you want to say to the coaches, Jimmy?
Kylie, thanks for being so cool.
It's been great to meet you.
KYLIE: Likewise. Thank you, Jimmy.
CHEERING
Well done, Jim.
Now, coaches, you only have a short amount of time left to steal Jimmy.
COUNTDOWN BEEPS
AUDIENCE: Aww!
Jimmy, I'm afraid that's it, my man.
Give us a hug.
Everyone give it up for Jimmy Weston!
CHEERING
Sorry, man. Sorry.
JIMMY: Oh, bless you.
KYLIE: You'll keep going. JIMMY: It's OK.
KYLIE: 'Jimmy did an amazing job'
and it's difficult in the moment making that decision.
I'm so proud of you.
Lee has this distinct quality that, if I heard his voice anywhere,
I would know that it was Lee singing.
I'm so proud of you. You did so well.

'Now we've got to find out'
who has the complete package.
♪ It's not unusual to be loved... ♪
Sir Tom has so much to offer.
♪ Think I'd better dance now... ♪
Yes, he does. For over six decades,
Sir Tom has been one of the biggest names in music.
What can't Tom Jones offer somebody like me?
♪ Ow... ♪
And he'd won a Grammy before any of the other coaches were even born.
♪ Yeah... ♪

♪ Yeah, we bring the stars out... ♪
So, my battle adviser this year is Tinie Tempah.
♪ Get a glass out... ♪
He's not only a great performer,
he knows a lot about singers and he's very musical.
It's having an adviser there to reassure you that
you are making the right decision.
I've been able to tour with Rihanna, Jay-Z, Usher.
So, what I'm looking for today is basically star quality.
So, my first pairing will be between...
..Sally.
♪ I'm just a soul whose intentions... ♪
After nearly making it big in music,
life turned upside down for 54-year-old Sally Barker.
My husband became ill with cancer.
I did try to keep singing, but it's quite difficult,
because you have to think about the kids.
And her audition moved a legend to tears.
You sang so beautiful that it got to me.
Thank you.
And...
Talia.
CHEERING
Oh, no!
Country girl Talia Smith got the coaches reaching for their ropes...
♪ You made me small... ♪
..and Tom was reeled in.
I couldn't help myself.
The song that I've picked is by Olly Murs and it's called Dear Darlin'.
- I don't know that at all. - I'll play it for you later.
I'm sure it'll be great, so don't worry.
I don't really know the song. I rang my kids...
It's called Dear Darlin'...
..by somebody called Olly Murs.
It's still pretty much a mystery to me,
so I'll just have to wait and see.
How do you both feel being paired up against each other?
We're sorry.
We don't want to lose each other.
You've become friends?
♪ Dear darlin'
♪ Please excuse my writing... ♪
It must be nerve-racking to be handed a song that you don't know,
but she just seems to open her mouth and it comes out beautifully.
♪ And alone tonight... ♪
Because I didn't really know the song, initially I wasn't sure,
but it's actually grown on me and it felt good, thank God.
That's amazing.
You're singing it so well for someone who hasn't heard it before,
- trust me. - Cheers.
- What's driving you now? - Oh, my two kids.
- Driving me crazy. They told me to go on The Voice. - Oh, nice.
They said, "Mum, you should be on this." I thought, "What can I lose?"
I'm glad you're on it. I'm glad you're on my team.
Me and Sally have got really close
and I think it's going to be hard, because one of us is going to go.
It's going to be heartbreaking.
I will do the best that I can, and I know that Talia will do the same.
It's not going to be a catfight.
BELL DINGS
Two women with the world of experience,
this is one emotive battle. Give it up for Talia Smith.

APPLAUSE
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Sally and Talia.
Ladies, that was absolutely beautiful. You guys look amazing.
I know you did your family proud, I can see your two boys over there.
I think they should be very proud of you tonight.
- Happy that they're here? - I'm speechless, actually.
Fantastic, Sally. Talia, what an amazing battle, how was it for you?
I'm still shaking now.
- Tom, did they do you proud? - Definitely.
- Beautiful. Lovely. - They are.
I don't envy you, Tom, because
it looks like there's some love between the ladies here,
like, you were so respectful for each other in that performance.
I would lean towards Sally.
CHEERING
There's such clarity in your voice and you're, like, transcendent.
Talia, I think because the way you walked before you sang
was so spot-on.
The first couple of notes were kind of off, but then you found it.
Then through the rest of the performance was amazing.
But Sally...
..not that age means anything,
but I don't know what you sounded like when you were 20,
but you sound amazing at 54.
APPLAUSE
Like, your mom is the coolest lady in the world.
Tom, what's going through your mind right now?
I must congratulate both of you, because you made a great duet there.
Talia's got a great country voice,
but when Sally sang, she hit me so hard with emotion. So...
You know, I mean, but...
CHEERING
Tom, who is the winner of this battle?
Well... The winner of this battle...
..it's Sally.
CHEERING
Congratulations, Sally. Oh, that's amazing!
- How are you feeling? - A bit choked, yeah.
You proud of your mum, boys?
Everyone give it up for Sally.
- That was beautiful, love. - Thank you.
Talia, you're no longer on Team Tom.
However, it may not the end of the road for you just yet,
as you're now available for a steal.
Coaches, you only have a short amount of time
and Talia would love for you guys to steal her right now.
I'm afraid that's the end of the road for you tonight.
Give us a hug.
Go and give Tom a big hug. Give it up for Talia.
Talia is a great singer in her own right.
And she can sing country music like she's made to do it.
It's a shame that she wasn't stolen, actually.
Sally is a lovely person.
She's like she's giving off some kind of mist
that makes you feel happy and comfortable.
That's what makes the difference between a good singer
and a great singer,
and that's what Sally's got, she hits me in the heart.
Next into battle is Team Ricky.
In the blinds, it's just been about the voice, but now
we're in the battles, there's this performance element that comes in.
With four smash hit albums,
three Brits and an Ivor Novello award to his name,
Kaiser Chief Ricky certainly knows a thing or two about owning the stage.
It's not just about the voice, it's about the performance
and that's where I can actually give some pretty good advice.
How you doing, guys?
And helping to get Team Ricky battle ready is his lieutenant,
singer-songwriter Katy B.
♪ I keep on moving with the lights on... ♪
She's a great singer.
She's one of those people who's made it all happen for herself.
And she's not afraid to say what she thinks.
I just want to see someone who's got style, who's got confidence
and they just need to be themselves. That's what I love in a performance.
You're all good, that's obvious.
It isn't about being good any more, it's about being great. Good luck.
The first pairing is....
..Tila and Tavelah.
At the blind auditions, Ricky got a two for one
in the form of teenage twins Tila and Tavelah.
You got me!
They've been singing with each other since they were born
and that comes across when they sing together.
And you'll be against...
..Beth.
No way.
16-year-old Beth McCarthy got Ricky and Kylie spinning,
proving age is not an issue when it comes to vocal talent.
That was amazing.
The song you're going to be singing is...Roar.
Oh, my gosh.
Hi.
Are we all Yorkshire girls?
Yeah, we might start talking Yorkshire
and you'll have to get a translator.
♪ Louder, louder than a lion... ♪
Not only is there two voices that I'm having to contend with,
but they are twins.
They probably had a connection in the womb.
We've got this look thing going on where I just do the look
and she's like...I'm in.
That sounds amazing.
It's impressive, but you're impressive too,
but in a totally different way, and I don't want anyone to get drowned.
- We'll try not to... - No, no, no, you've got to beat her.
It's up to you.
I'm sure she is intimidated going up against the duo.
I'm not making any allowances for the fact that she's a 16-year-old,
but I want Beth to get over that.
I'm the youngest in the competition and I need to win this battle.
If I don't get this absolutely right then I'm not going any further.
We're going to bring everything we've got to this performance.
It's two versus one, we're going to be like...
two lions in the ring.
BELL DINGS
Two against one, it's a teenage rampage.
Give it up for Tila and Tavelah.
CHEERING
It's our youngest artist, 16-year-old Beth McCarthy.
CHEERING
Let the battle commence.
- The family's in, then? - Yeah.
Oh, Ricky, it's your first one.

CHEERING
Amazing stuff. Give it up for Tila and Tavelah and Beth.
Ricky, you've got some big thinking to do, right?
I do, yeah. I really do.
Will, how did they do for you?
Tila, Tavelah, to take that song and to put a harmony on the verses
and stuff and then come out the second verse adding your own
little twist on it, that was really cool, cos...
FAMILY CHEER
Your bloop, bloop brother is really cool, he's really excited.
Shouting at us. Thanks.
Beth, you held your ground. Like, you was really rocking out.
CHEERING
But just for uniqueness and making it their own...
..I would pick Tila and Tavelah.
Bloop, bloop.
- I just think... - Bloop, bloop, bloop.
LAUGHTER
- Any more? - No more.
I think it was a great choice. Your harmonies were absolutely beautiful.
I love when you two girls were there, and you were both...like...
and Beth was prowling around, doing her own thing.
And then you were all prowling around after each other.
It was fantastic.
But you were all great.
Ricky, obviously this is going to be a very tough decision for you.
But I'm going to have to ask you for that decision.
- Tough. - What? - It's tough. - Very tough.
OK. The winner of the battle...
tonight...um...
..is Beth.
CHEERING.
Well done, Beth, you're through to the knockouts. How do you feel?
I'm speechless. I want to cry.
Sorry. Thank you so much for believing in me.
Everyone give it up for Beth.
Well done tonight.
CHEERING
Tila, Tavelah, you're now available for a steal.
Girls, is there anything you'd like to say?
Yeah. We really enjoyed it, and hopefully you can see more of us.
Like, we can give so much more.
But thank you so much for everything in the first place.
Thank you, girls.
We've only got a short amount of time left to steal Tila and Tavelah.
It's over to you.
Girls, I'm so sorry, but you haven't been stolen.
Give us a hug, come on.
Everyone give it up for Tila and Tavelah.
CHEERING
One more time for Tila and Tavelah.
CHEERING
- So sorry. - Honestly, do not worry about it.
That's what makes me feel worse, cos you're so nice about it.
You two were absolutely adorable, and you have the best fan club ever.
I'm sorry.
You have amazing daughters. They sang amazing.
Oh, you need a cuddle?
There's loads going on in there when you're making a decision.
But my gut just went with Beth and I think you've got to trust that.
- Well, that was hard. - Yeah. It was close, though.
So, four battles in and no-one's used their precious steal.
- So what's holding them back? - No steal so far.
I'm conscious not to fill up that one precious place too soon.
You go for the steal, you think, "Oh, should I wait? Should I wait?"
I have a few people in mind.
I've drawn circles around them on the chart in my dressing room.
I've got to get my binocular, my telescope,
to see into the future on who I want to bring into the future.
I've only got one steal, we all have,
and I want that steal to be the right choice.
Next into battle, it's Team Kylie.
Next up...
..Leo...
..and Steven.
♪ Holding back... ♪
Leo Ihenacho has experience as the singer of The Streets.
And he came over all a fluster...
I'm actually blushing right now.
..when the coach of his teenage dreams spun into his life.
I've fancied Charlene since I was this high.
♪ What you going to do? ♪
While 27-year-old restaurant manager Steven Alexander
also had Kylie spinning around...
- ..and under his spell. - You just swept me away.
The song that you guys are going to be singing is...
Thunder In My Heart by Leo Sayer.
It's going to be epic.
I'm quite nervous.
Leo's a seasoned pro and he's done the circuit and he's done the biz.
I'm Leo the lion. Steven, he's the zebra.
Argh!
Hi.
Anyone feeling thunder in the heart?
- Yes. - Thunder in loads of places. - Thunder down under? - Yes.
I can't even tell you how excited I am to hear this song.
Can you do me a favour? Can you tell me how the first line goes?
♪ Standing here alone with you... ♪
♪ Standing here alone with you Wonder... ♪
What's the second line?
I think sometimes I may be a bit complacent.
♪ Standing here alone with you... ♪
I still haven't even learned it fully.
HE MUMBLES
♪ Is this the real thing, babe? I don't know... ♪
Sorry.
I was kind of confused by Leo's demeanour.
He was very laid-back about all of it.
♪ I'm coming through
♪ I feel thunder in my heart... ♪
I think with Steven,
he's got the right combination of attitude and nerves.
He's a bit more rounded, I think.
It's going to take quite a bit of homework.
Yeah.
Do you both know the song now? Not looking at anyone in particular.
- That is a question. - Awkward. - Yes, is the answer!
- Yes, I do. - Let's do this.
♪ Standing here alone with you... ♪
Leo's done his homework,
but now he's getting some hands-on attention from the headmistress.
♪ Do you feel the way that I do? ♪
Kylie came on and she was flirting, as she does,
while I was trying to perform.
♪ Thunder in my heart... ♪
Lines didn't come in where they were supposed to come in.
Put it this way - I messed up. She threw me off totally.
Did you see the skirt she was wearing? Like, jeez.
- I forgot to come in. - I know!
That was just a little bit of distraction,
see how you cope and stuff.
Steven has a lot of technical skill and Leo's struggling a little bit,
so on the night he needs to raise his game to win.
BELL DINGS
Hoping to get Kylie's support, the man from The Streets - Leo Ihenacho.
APPLAUSE
Up against the guy from Glasgow - Steven Alexander.

CHEERING
Kylie, you were up out of your seat as well.
These boys must have done you proud just now.
They did it again.
You always get me out of my seat. That was so good.
Tom, who grabbed your attention the most?
Uh, that's a hard one.
I think they were as good as one another, really.
CHEERING
Ricky, two big personalities up here and one very tough song.
Yeah, you've got a tough decision.
I know!
Who would you go for, Ricky?
I'm not choosing.
- I don't have to choose. - Come on.
- Do I have to choose? - Yeah, you do have to.
Give Kylie some help.
Vocally, I couldn't get a cigarette paper between them.
But...performance-wise, I just kind of like the way Leo moved more.
Are you jealous that you can't do it?
Yeah.
How do you know I can't do it?
- Would you like to come up and try? - No.
Kylie, did these boys put thunder in your heart?
They did more than put thunder in my heart. Didn't you love that?
CHEERING
I know it's tough, Kylie, but you have to make a decision.
This is why I put you together.
It did bring out something amazing in both of you.
The winner of this battle...is...
I'm praying there's going to be a steal out of this.
..is Leo.
Well done.
- You look quite shell-shocked, Leo. - Yeah, Steven is amazing.
Wow. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
That was so difficult.
Steven, you're no longer in Team Kylie.
- Oh, that hurts. - But you are available for a steal.
Oh, thank God.
Argh!
Oh, my God. That's amazing. I can't believe that has happened.
Steven is too good to go.
He's got a lot of promise, he's got the whole thing.
He can sing and he can move.
I just thought Leo had...
..the edge, but by such a small margin.
Literally, it was by that much.
- We did it. - I told you, bro.
I'm so, so relived.
He can sing, that kid.
God, it's electric when there's a steal.
Next into battle, it's Team Tom.
If you're going to be a singer, you should have confidence,
and the battle, it does one of two things.
It either makes you scared...or it makes you more confident.
So the next pairing will be...
..Kenny and Bizzi.
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
♪ Oh, hold on... ♪
There was no shortage of confidence for Bizzi Dixon,
one of two brothers to audition at the blinds.
But while big brother Shenton didn't get a turn...
♪ Oooh... ♪
AUDIENCE ROARS
..Bizzi kept the family flag flying in Team Tom.
♪ I'm in a New York state of mind... ♪
But it was more of a nervy audition for music teacher Kenny...
..who even struggled to make that all-important decision.
- Who to choose? - I'm not making any...
No, I can't make a choice.
The song I've picked is the Wilson Pickett version of Hey Jude.
I know it works as a duet, because I actually did the duet
with Wilson Pickett when I had a TV show called This Is Tom Jones.
♪ Oh! ♪
When Wilson and myself did it, we took it to a soulful place
and I think that's what the two fellas have to do.
So I know from experience it works great.
You two are going to really...
- HE CLICKS TONGUE - ..give it some.
♪ Take a sad song and make it better... ♪
It's a Beatles record and The Beatles are The Beatles
and they do songs a certain way.
Rather than just listening to The Beatles' version,
give me a soul version of that.
♪ Na-na-na-na
SOULFULLY: ♪ Hey, Jude. ♪
I think you've got a great, full voice.
I just think you need to maybe own it a little bit more.
Is there anything they can get from the way you did it as well?
- Play a little bit and I'll sing a... - Yeah.
♪ Hey, Jude
♪ Don't be afraid... ♪
You just realise how powerful his voice is...
♪ You were made to go out and... ♪
..and how you're singing the same part as him
and you're trying to be as good as him.
♪ ..You let her under your skin... ♪
He really raised the bar and showed us how to execute the song.
♪ To make it better... ♪
I want to go home now, I think.
If Kenny's lacking in anything, it's confidence...
..and he needs to be reassured and I'm trying to do that.
I know you're basically a shy person,
but even when you're not singing, you're still on camera.
- Don't be scared. - Yeah.
If he can get over that then he's a force to be reckoned with.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Bizzi and Kenny, everybody.
Oh, my word. You had the whole room
on their feet.
- Tom, you must be pretty chuffed with what they just did. - Yes.
So much so, they've made it more confusing that it was before.
If that is possible.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
- Hey, dude. - ♪ Hey, dude... ♪
Did they take a sad song and make it better.
That was, like, the best battle I've seen in three series so far.
That was, like, the best battle.
AUDIENCE ROARS
Bizzi, you got busy
and you pushed little Kenny to do something
and then Kenny just came out roaring like a lion, like, "Rarrr!"
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
But I've just got to say, like, dang!
They took Jude
to church.
Well, let's get to Tom, cos it is, after all, his decision.
CHEERING
Kenny is like...
He is like a show singer.
Kenny, you've got this big, range-y voice,
and with Bizzi, you kept it in church, where he comes from.
- I know that, because I can hear it, so... - Amen.
Amen.
I know you're going to find it difficult, Tom,
- but it is time to make your decision. - Yeah.
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
AUDIENCE CHANTS
The winner of this battle...
..is...
I've got to go with Bizzi.
AUDIENCE ROARS
Bizzi, congratulations.
I'd just like to say thanks, Tom. I won't let you down
and, Kenny, you really did push me to the limit.
Give it up for Bizzi, everybody.
- OK? - I won't let you down, Tom.
Yeah.
OK, Kenny, so you're now available for a steal.
He can sing.
OK, you just have a short amount of time to steal Kenny.
AUDIENCE: Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!
Kenny!
I can't do it.
APPLAUSE
I'm sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - It's really fine.
- Hey. - Hey, man.
Kenny, it was great, honestly.
- That's one of the hardest things, believe me. - Yeah.
I mean, you really came there tonight, honestly.
I mean it when I say it - I didn't know which way to go, honestly.
- OK. - Keep the confidence up. - Yeah.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I didn't think he was going to cut it, but he did cut it...
Kenny, because he lacks in confidence a bit,
but he came up, he was there.
That was a hard one.
For me, it was hard.
FAMILY WHOOPS
What I liked about Bizzi, he sang it with a gospel flavour.
Like I would if I was going to sing it.
THEY WHOOP
I really didn't know which way you were going to go in that.
- I didn't know. I mean, I thought I did know. - Hmm.
That's the thing, isn't it?
Out of 12, you can only pick six.
- 'So, we're at the halfway point.' - That's the end of that one. - Yeah.
And as the dust settles, Kylie and Will are planning a Voice mutiny.
Yeah, I think it's going well.
- You know what I don't like, though? - What?
- I don't like saying no to some of them. - No, it's awful!
Let's change the rules. Change the rules!
And Ricky thought he had the team to beat,
but now he's not so sure.
I thought I had a really strong team
and I thought no-one else was going to...
I thought you were going to be so jealous of me,
and then when you see the battles happening,
- everyone stepped up, right? - Yes! - Bring on the next one.
Let's bring them on and let's do it.
Well, if Tom says so, we'd better crack on, then.
- Seconds away, round two. - BELL DINGS
The battles get feisty.
- Who the hell plays a harp? - She went, like, "Bang!"
Two steals are on the way.
- But who's getting them? - MARVIN: - Yes! Ricky stole! Yeah!
That was just too, too awesome.
CHEERING
Hello, and welcome back to The Voice: The Battles.
Next into battle, it's Team Will.
At this stage, the decisions are hard.
I have to be very careful with who I choose,
because I could be sending a superstar home.
My next pairing is Callum...
THEY WHOOP
It's a really nice jacket.
Thanks.
And you will be singing against Tom.
At the blind auditions,
Welsh school worker Callum Crowley's incredible range...
♪ Ah, oooh..! ♪
..was his not-so-secret weapon.
Team Will, let's go.
Ambulance controller Tom Barnwell got four turns
and then a few more spins and turns from the coaches.
I think it's going to be Will.i.am.
CHEERING
And the song that you're going to be singing
is PYT by Michael Jackson.
This version of PYT by Michael Jackson, he and I worked on it
and if he was here today, he would say,
"You've got to shred it, turn it, put it on fire.
"Just burn the whole place down with your voice.
"Be a dragon.
"Rarr!"
- LAUGHTER - Anyways, you just kill it!
♪ I want to love you
♪ PYT
♪ Pretty young thing... ♪
I'm nervous about the battle.
Callum is very cool.
He is, like, super stylish, wearing his dog collar from the vet's.
He is such a performer as well.
And then there's me.
Tom's a great guy, but if I can do anything that's going to give me
a bit of an edge in this performance
then I'm going to do that.
Little body wave.
- And it goes with your top. - Your turn, Tom.
Really?
- Ta-da! - Moves!
- Awkward! - He's going in guns a-blazing.
- So you just want to come out... - HE IMITATES GUNFIRE
Come out fighting.
Fighting.
Tom has to step up.
I know he's shy and he's gentle,
but when you're up against a singer like Callum and he's ripping it,
you've got to rip it too.
Tom is standing in my way at the moment,
but I'm no way ready to go home yet
and I will do whatever it takes to see that that doesn't happen.
I may be the geek, Callum may be the trendy one,
but I'm going to go out there tonight
and I'm going to win this battle with my voice.
CHEERING
What's up, guys? You guys ready to jump in it?
- Yeah. - Definitely.
- Are you going to be cutting up a rug? - Yep.
- Bringing it. - Don't cut it up too much. - No.
Cos you don't want to mess up the vocal.
And don't be too calm. There's a fire out there.
- Are you going to give it your all? - Everything.
- All right, guys. - We're ready, aren't we? Thank you.

Let's hear it for Callum and Tom, everybody.
So you look like you just had the absolute time of your life.
That was amazing, but my teeth are stuck to my lips,
so I can't really speak!
LAUGHTER
Did you enjoy it?
- WHOOPING - Yeah, I loved it.
The energy in this room is amazing.
Will, you must be pretty pleased with what the boys just did.
Pretty jamming, pretty jamming.
Were you feeling it?
WHOOPING
- Ricky, battle of the front men here tonight with these two. - Yeah.
You'd know a lot about that.
You can't go wrong with anything off Thriller
and you didn't go wrong, Will.
It was spectacular.
That just seemed like you'd been performing together for years
and you connected really well, and that is a sign of...
APPLAUSE
That's a sign of something really special as well, so thanks for that.
Good luck, Will.
I'm glad I don't have to pick.
Tom has got the shock value,
because you don't look like you sound.
That's a good thing.
And then Callum,
you look like you sound.
- LAUGHTER - But vocally,
the both of you
excellent. I really, really enjoyed it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It is a hard choice. It was the geeky boy versus the cheeky boy,
so what has the sneaky boy got to say?
AUDIENCE WHOOPS
That's a good one.
- Um... - And I'm leaky.
LAUGHTER
Leaky!
Sounds like you got a problem.
It's a tough one,
because Tom is smooth, the way you move,
um,
and then Callum,
I'm thinking your shoulders are going to fall off,
cos you're just like...
It's a tough call, so I don't know.
The winner of this battle is...
CHEERING
- It's Callum. - Whoo!
AUDIENCE ROARS
Give it up for Callum, everybody.
Well done, you deserve it, serious.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, Tom.
OK, Tom, so you're no longer a part of Team Will,
so you're now available for a steal.
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
Kylie, Ricky, you are the only coaches left with a steal,
as Tom's already stolen.
Is there anything that you'd like to say?
I've had the best time so far in this show, it's been great.
I've loved every minute of it.
He's got to get a steal.
OK, there's only a short amount of time to steal.
AUDIENCE GROANS
OK, Tom, so sorry, but you haven't been stolen this evening.
- APPLAUSE - Thank you so much.
Go and see Will. Give it up for Tom, everybody.
CHEERING
Thank you, thank you. You picked the right guy.
Seriously, he's amazing.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for everything. It's been amazing.
I'll be in touch.
Tom did a good job,
but he's too shy.
And going into the next phase of this competition,
shy is not...
- ..the attire. - Whoo!
Now Callum is going through
and we just got a little few things to, you know, tighten up,
and I think he's going to be ready to really knock them out.
FAMILY WHOOPS AND LAUGHS
CHEERING
Next into battle is Team Kylie.
Next pairing starts with...
..Jai, and you'll be facing Nomakhosi.
THEY WHOOP
24-year-old mum Jai...

♪ Shoobee-da-boop-boop Da-da, da-da... ♪
..proved to be a hit with Australia's finest export.
You complete my team.
I paired Jai and Nomakhosi
because I think there's a good competitive spirit between these two.
The fact that Jai got four turns,
it doesn't intimidate me or anything.
I'm scared.
She's a really natural-born performer,
so I know I'm really going to have to step it up a notch, like.
So, Tainted Love - know it, love it?
- I like it. - Need it, want it?
Well, Jake and I have done many a thing together
so we're here at your service.
But let's try it.
BOTH: # Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted Love, it needs some guts to it.
They need to come out with a lot of energy, a lot of heart and soul.
♪ I'm sorry I don't pray that way... ♪

and maybe a bit more attitude.
♪ Tainted love... ♪
JAI: A natural bit of fight is coming out.
Wicked, wicked.
Going to get there.
I've just realised that she's a little bit more competition
than I thought, so I have to really bring my A-game.
Jai is a little firecracker.
I think she could give me a run for my money.
I know I did well at the blinds, but this is like a clean slate.
I've got my work cut out for me.
BELL DINGS
They both have the confidence, but who has the will to win?
It's Nomakhosi...

Give it up for Nomakhosi and Jai!
Whoo!
You guys look incredible.
I feel like a thorn between two roses right now.
You're amazing. Nomakhosi, how was that for you?
Oh, my God, that was so good. I love the audience.
- AUDIENCE CHEERS - Yeah!
Jai, you looked like you were having the time of your life.
Did you enjoy it?
It was amazing. My legs are still shaking.
You are shaking. Bless you.
Kylie, how good was that?
I am so proud of you both. That was electrifying!
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Kylie, you've got a very tough decision.
However, let's see if you get any advice from your coaches.
Will, Tainted Love, did the girls mean every word?
That was, uh, spectacular.
- Really. - AUDIENCE WHOOPS
It kind of got real heated at the end.
It turned into a real battle at the end.
Nomakhosi or Jai?
- HE CHUCKLES - Nomakhosi.
OK, Nomakhosi.
CHEERING
Ricky, two very unique singing styles from the girls.
Who stood out most for you?
I'm going to have to disagree, cos for me it was Jai's night, and...
CHEERING
It's that time. We need to know a decision from you, please.
You both delivered more than I dared to hope.
Nomakhosi, your vocals are so smooth
and I feel like you could sing the phone book.
You put soul and heart into whatever you do.
Jai...
..what Nomakhosi has to contend with is your tone,
which is from outer space.
CHEERING
This is so tough.
The winner of this battle...
- ..is Jai. - Jai!
AUDIENCE ROARS
Congratulations, Jai.
Well done, how are you feeling?
- I was not expecting that. - No? - No, I wasn't expecting that at all.
Kylie, thank you so much for this opportunity, thank you so much.
Thank you all.
I'll not let you down, I promise.
CHEERING
Well done, Jai. Go give Kylie a big hug. Everyone give it up for Jai.
- Well done. - Thank you.
Well done.
CHEERING
OK, Nomakhosi, it may not be the end of the road for you just yet,
as you're now available for a steal.
Will, Ricky, you're the only coaches that can steal,
as Tom has already stolen.
It's over to you.
I'm going to have to say No...
- AUDIENCE GROANS - ..makhosi!
AUDIENCE ROARS
Congratulations, how are you feeling?
Oh, my God!
Ah!
Go give him a hug, give him a hug.
Thank you so much.
- You sound great. - Oh, thank you so much.
Everyone give it up for Nomakhosi.
CHEERING
I was missing that diva soul...
That is crazy, that is crazy.
..and Nomakhosi is, like, diva-for-real soul.
It's, like, different-level soul. Like, oh-no soul. Like, whoa soul.
She has what it takes to win it.
I've been wrestling over that decision a long time
and then I thought,
"Know what? On the night, it's just going to hit me.
"It's just going to come to me."
Yes!
- I'm so happy for you. - I'm so happy for us!
It was still a bit of a struggle for me
but, thankfully, they're both through.
Oh, my gosh!
CHEERING
Next into battle, it's Team Ricky.
Next battle is...
..Emily... WHOOPING
..and you'll be against Kelsey-Beth.
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
♪ I was just, I was just I was just... ♪
18-year-old Emily Adams works at her dad's hotel
in the bright lights of Blackpool.
But we gave her the brightest lights of all.
You've just made my dream come true. Thank you so much.
♪ Don't go telling no more lies... ♪
Kelsey-Beth used to be in a soap... and she sings.
Which Kylie pounced on.
- So you're in a soap opera? - Yeah.
But she went with Ricky.
The song you're going to sing is...
Fighter by Christina Aguilera.
That is a big song.
This is the battle of the Blackpool girls.
They've lived within half a mile of each other all their lives
and never met. What a bad time to meet!
- This is definitely a fighting song. - Yeah, it's the perfect battle song.
I really want to see them, like...
- Battling? - You know what I mean?
I want this to be kind of like almost
kind of pushing the other one out of the way.
♪ I thought I knew you... ♪
I mean, I'd heard the song when I was younger,
but it wasn't one I knew that well.

and I love singing her stuff, so I'm not going to underestimate her,
but I'm feeling all right.
♪ For all of your torture I wouldn't know... ♪
Sorry. ♪ This way now... ♪
I definitely think that Fighter is a very difficult song to sing.
- So, "never" and "all of" set you up. - OK.
Are you all right with that?
I did see in her face that Kelsey-Beth was a bit worried,
but it's doable, I definitely think it's doable.
♪ Cos it makes me that much stronger
♪ It makes me work a little bit harder... ♪
I'm glad you stepped up.

Emily had the upper hand, but now I've completely done my homework.
♪ ..That much stronger... ♪
- I love the interaction between the two of you. It's scary! - Going to kill you!
Yeah. But no, keep that.
Emily's showing a lot of fight, but I don't think she's showing me everything yet.
No, no, you've got more.
I wouldn't want to get between them.
It's letting the tiger out of its cage, it's incredible.
Since leaving Emmerdale, I've worked hard on my singing.
Now's the time to show it.
Kelsey-Beth has been improving a lot,
so I've been keeping my cards close to my chest.
Tonight you're going to see explosion, passion, fighter.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Right, girls, ladies, you know what you've got to do.
Right, everything we talked about.
You've got to use everything you've got.
Use your acting, you can do that. Bring it out.
Don't be scared of her vocals.
I don't want you holding back, cos you've both got
a fighting chance here, and it will be decided in there.
- Ready? - Yeah. - Come here.
OK, have a really good one.
Enjoy it as well, try and enjoy it.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Kelsey-Beth and Emily, everybody.
Whoo!
Ladies, I don't know if I want to go in the middle of you.
You frightened me with that performance.
- You were not holding back, Emily. - I was going for it, definitely.
Kelsey-Beth, did you bring out your inner actress?
I think so, I don't know, I went a bit numb.
Um, OK, Ricky, it was most definitely a fight, I think,
between these two. Did they deliver as you wanted them to?
Together, I thought this might be a shouting competition,
and it wasn't that, it felt like you were singing the same song,
at the same time, together. It didn't feel like you hate each other.
You might in a minute.
Well, for me, I think that Emily was into it just a bit more, so...
CHEERING
I do think that the song was more suited to Emily.
If it was a different song, maybe I'd be...
I'm sorry, I'm probably not going to help you at all, Ricky.
But with that song, I think you did a great job, Kelsey-Beth,
but I think Emily just... It was more her kind of thing.
OK, Ricky, two members of your team,
only one of them can stay. It's time to make your decision, Ricky.
I...
Who's the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle...
..it's Emily.
CHEERING
Oh, my God! I'm so happy about that. Thank you so much.
You are so on Team Ricky.
Congratulations, go see your coach. Give it up for Emily, everybody.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done.
Great, fantastic, well done.
It is such a brutal part of the competition.
You are no longer on Team Ricky, but you are still available for a steal.
Tom and Will have already stolen,
so that means only Kylie is able to steal you.
Kelsey-Beth, are there any words you have for the coaches at this point?
I'd like to say congratulations to Emily, cos she did do brilliantly.
She's an amazing vocalist.
I'd also like to say I've got so much more to show
cos it wasn't really my song and I did my best with it.
For that song, I couldn't compete with her.
OK, Kylie, you only have a short time left to steal Kelsey-Beth.
Come on, Kylie!
I can't.
OK, Kelsey-Beth, I'm so sorry, no steal for you today.
You've been so fantastic. Thank you, go and see Ricky.
Give it up for Kelsey-Beth, everybody.
Anyone else, anyone else, and you could have.
- She just... - I know. - You know, you've been singing with her all...
Emily has a more powerful voice.
Kelsey-Beth has that performance side
and, er, so...it was basically... I've told them both,
it's what happened in there on the night.
Yeah, she was in there, Emily.
I was like, "Are you holding back on me?" And she goes, "Might be."
- That was... - But she was holding back.
Yeah, that was 50% better than anything she'd done before.
Oh, well done!
Next into battle, it's Team Tom.
The next pairing will be...
Celestine and Mairead.
30-year-old full-time mum Celestine had little fans backstage...
..and a legendary one out front.
There's all my children waiting back there. Just thank you so much.
- All right. - Thank you.
Mairead Conlon has three little fans...
..and now three big ones, before joining Team Tom.
And the song I've chosen is It's My Party.
It's a great song, and you're going to do a great job.
These girls are bubbly and energetic
and I wanted to pick a song that they can have fun with.
Let the best girl win.
- How are you, love? - Tom.
- This is Tinie. - Hi, Tinie. Patrick.
- Celestine! - Hello. - It's a lovely name, that. - Thank you.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.
First of all, how do you feel about singing together?
- I'm really happy to be singing with you. - Yeah.
I'm so ecstatic just to be here, Tom. I'm in a room with Tom Jones!
- Like that jacket. - Thank you.
You're hot. You're hot.
Like, hey!
I think Mairead took the lead in that session
in terms of her personality is very extrovert.
- Does flattery get you far? - I think so.
But I'm quite happy sometimes to let my singing do the talking.
♪ So why you acting like you're tough?
♪ I thought you had enough... ♪
Celestine has a really powerful voice.
She's been confident. Yeah, so I'm a bit of a nervous wreck.
I'm a lot quieter than most singers, so maybe everyone will not hear me.
- We can hear you. - Yeah.
And we're standing here.
But it's not just about singing, it's about staging,
and Mr Jones knows his way around a stage.
- There's people round the back of you as well. - Yeah. - Yeah.
So be aware of that a bit.
- Where will our family be? - Over there. - In the front, OK.
Sure.
I've got children and they love watching me sing.
My mother's the best singer I've ever heard.
Cos she has a beautiful voice.
I know that I want this for much more than myself.
I want this for my family as well.
- You're strong, I think it's coming across great now. - Yay!
When you sing a fun song, you've got to have fun with it.
And they're doing that, so I hope when the real deal is at stake
that they bring it.

Put your hands together for Mairead and Celestine.
You looked like you were having the time of your life.
I was, that was so brilliant, I loved every second.
And you're just so comfortable up here, aren't you?
Thank you. There's no other place I'd rather be, except down with you guys.
But thank you.
OK, Tom, before you make a decision, let's go to the other coaches.
Kylie, that was a hell of a performance, wasn't it?
You both looked so comfortable up there. Really.
I forgot it was a competition for a minute.
And...I wouldn't want to be making that decision.
But if we had to push you, Kylie.
I think I would go with Mairead.
Will? If it were your party,
which one of these two lovely ladies would you be taking?
I would pick Celestine.
Thank you. That means a lot, that means a lot.
But you held your ground, Mairead.
I love your little jitterbug scoot across the stage.
- That was hot, pretty fresh. - Thank you.
Tom, you have to make your decision.
First of all, I must say that the both of you did a great job there.
Now I've got to try and be great and pick the right one now.
The winner of this battle...
..is...
..Celestine.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That wasn't easy.
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
Oh!
I love you so much. I love you so much.
Do you want to meet Tom Jones?
Yeah.
- Give it up for Celestine, everybody. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - You deserve it.
- How old are you? - Seven.
You're seven? Your mum's cool.
OK, Mairead, it's not quite over yet.
Kylie, Ricky, you are the only coaches left with a steal
as Will has already stolen.
Mairead, you are now available for a steal.
Steal her, steal her!
Sorry.
OK, Mairead, I'm afraid you've not been stolen.
Thank you so, so much.
You're absolutely wonderful. Give it up for Mairead, everybody.
I'm sorry, love. You did a great performance.
You didn't do anything wrong.
- Yes, of course. - OK, cool. - It was close. - Yeah.
Thanks so much.
It was a tough decision to make,
because there was nothing wrong with what Mairead did,
but I just thought Celestine had the edge, that's all.
- I'm really proud of you. - Thank you, my darling, I love you so much.
Next into battle, it's Team Will.
Whoo-hoo!
And my next pairing is...
..Jessica...
For Jessica Steele, there's been a lot of tears.

This year, all four turned.

Little Miss McLuckie.
♪ Oh, she's up all night... ♪
Ricky was first to turn for the voice with the harp.
But Will swooped in to take her.
Will, thank you.
Little Miss Tinkerbell. The angel on the harp.
She...is...amazing.
And the song you guys are going to be singing
is Good Riddance by Green Day.
- Do you need any help with your harp? - No, it's OK.
Out of everyone, Anna is the one I really didn't want to be paired with.
Like, who the hell plays a harp?
- Are you going to rock the harp? - Yeah, OK.
So...she's putting it in key.
Right?
I hate the harp with a passion.
♪ Time grabs you by the wrist
♪ Directs you to where to go... ♪
I think Jess was probably maybe slightly worried
that I was playing the harp, but I'm sure she'll put that aside,
like, she'll focus on what she's doing.
So, Jessica, erm, it seems that the harp is an issue for you?
Or was it more about the song?
I do feel really intimidated,
because she's got that extra thing that's, like, wow,
and I don't feel like I've got that.
Somebody throws you lemons, you make lemonade.
You don't say, "I want an orange."
LAUGHTER
You've got to learn how to take what you've got and make that hot.
And then Jessica's like...
"I want to play something!"
Shall I play as well?
- What do you play? - Piano.
You should bring a freaking piano out!
♪ Something unpredictable... ♪
That dope!
'I like the fact that she's pushed herself to play something.'

"I'm playing the bassoon! What, you're hula-hooping? I'm skydiving!"
'I'm hoping that Will will just see that fight in me
'and pick me, cos he likes a fighter.'
'I need to raise my determination to Jess's level,
'because she's such a fighter
'that I don't want it to be a one-sided battle.'
How you guys feeling?
Uh-oh, there go those emotions.
Don't let the nerves control you,

I'm fine. I'm shaking.
Just tried my best, so...
Ah, bless you. Well done.
Now, Will, obviously, fantastic battle.
Yeah, it was spectacular. You guys were great.
APPLAUSE
Tom, obviously we know about Jessica's story, she was here last year.
The music industry's all about perseverance, isn't it?
Yes, definitely. And it's great to see you again.
And you sound great, Jessica.
- Thank you. - Because you were really determined.
I saw it, I saw the look on your face,
and I heard it in your voice - you went, like, bang!
You sounded like you meant every word you sang.
APPLAUSE
Amazing song choice, and I love Green Day,
and I turned to both of them and I fought really hard to try
and win both of them, so I've got a soft spot for both of them.
I don't envy your position now.
It's a very tough decision, but it's time to make that decision, Will.
ALL SHOUT
One second, one second.
When we were backstage, Jessica, you were emotional
and you really did a great job controlling your emotions
while you were singing, and then right after you finished singing,
they just wanted to burst out, and I'm really proud of you.
Come on, Jess!
Anna, when Jessica started coming with them flying vocals,
you didn't back down, and I'm proud of you as well.
It was a great battle and you guys are amazing.
So, I'm going to make my decision now.
- Anna! - Anna!
Who's the winner of this battle?
- It's tough. It's tough. - Hopefully there's a steal that happens.
Anna.
CHEERING
- Congratulations, Anna. - Thank you so much.
- I didn't expect that! - Anything you'd like to say to Will?
Just thank you for everything. Thanks for everything.
Ah, congratulations. Give it up for Anna, everybody.
Glad to see you go through, Anna.
- You can save this girl. - Hm.
Jessica, you're no longer on Team Will.
So, Ricky and Kylie, you're the only two people that can steal Jessica.
Jessica, is there anything you'd like to say to the coaches?
Yes! Ricky's stealing you!
MUSIC: "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs
- Nice... Nice timing! - Yeah!
Give it up for Jessica's steal.
I've got Jessica. That's perfect.
What I love about her is the determination. She's so fierce.
I like her a lot. Plus she's from t'north.
I've been given a second chance once,
and now I've been given a second chance again.
Things like that just don't happen, and I'm so happy.
I was aggrieved by it all.
Jessica brought something out of Anna, and that is to be fierce.
Anna sounds superb, and I'm so happy that I pushed her through
so she could continue to be in this competition.
I'm pleased with that. The thing is now, you're in a great position.
No, I'm not!
No, you're in a horrible position, cos every time, it's you.
This is awful!
Oh, man. I don't envy you!
The final battle is from Team Ricky.
I've got absolutely no idea how tough it is for the acts to step up to the battle round.
I wouldn't want to do it myself. Yeah, it's tough.
Right, then. The next battle is...
Christina Marie. Brace yourself.
The person who you'll be singing with is...
Nathan.
At the blinds, 20-year-old Christina Marie got three coaches turning.
But it was Ricky who couldn't get enough.
I'd love to hear you sing again and again and again.
West End star Nathan Amzi took to the biggest stage of his life
and got an encore from Ricky in the front row.
Christina's really good fun.
I'm really looking forward to hanging out and getting to know each other.
Nathan is such a nice guy.
I think it's going to work really well.

- That was just pretty epic. - I've got goose bumps on my goose bumps, man.
It's amazing. How about this for an idea? It's all to each other, right?
You can be intimate with each other, and I thought this great part, when it kicks in...
Can we?
Not intimate in that way!
When Ricky suggested in our session that we start very intimate, I wish
I'd been paired with David Tennant or Leonardo Dicaprio or...
the list goes on.
- How you doin'? - Oh, gosh.
It's strange being in such a close proximity to someone
you've just met and having to sing lovingly into their eyes.
I'll just pretend that he's somebody I fancy.
If this goes the way I think it's going to go,
this is going to go through the roof, and this is going to be
one of the biggest battles this TV show's ever seen.
We're just going to rock it.
Nathan and I have become really good friends.
We've had great fun together, but when push comes to shove,
this is a fight.
I'm going to go out there and show Ricky it's me
he needs to pick to stay on the team.
You're not supposed to fight your friends.
It's something that's against nature,
but it's the nature of this competition.
And this is going to be the powerhouse vocal battle.
Turn it up to 11, raise the roof off!
APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow! Please give it up for Christina Marie and Nathan!
Guys, a standing ovation from all four coaches.
You guys deserve it.
- Ricky, what a decision you've got to make! - It's the toughest thing.
I mean, it was either the greatest idea I've ever had
or the biggest mistake I've ever had, putting you two together.
Um...I just really want to know what they think.
Unbelievable. You've raised the bar!
Well done, Ricky.
Where's the camera at? That one?
People watching this at home, what Nathan just did right now,
he was thrown into outer space,
being an animal that lives in the ocean,
and he performed wonderful out there in space, you know what I'm saying?
You really tore it up.
That's like a ballerina going to a football-rugby match and...
I'm not saying you're a ballerina. You know what I'm saying?
That was too, too cool.
Get it, ballerina tutu? That was just "tutu" awesome.
Ricky, I need to push you for a decision.
Right. I have to choose between you.
And I don't want to, and this is one of those things where, you know...
..I've made my mind up...
..and it's a decision that I didn't want to make, but I had to make it.
I love you, and we are going to hang out, but the winner is Christina.
Christina!
Congratulations!
- How do you feel? - Oh, my God! Amazing.
Thank you so much, Ricky. Thank you!
- Thank you. - Go and give Ricky a big hug.
Everybody, give it up for the incredible Christina Marie.
Nathan, you're now available for a steal.
Nathan, Tom and Will have already used their steals,
so only now Kylie can take you through to the knockouts.
Can't, sorry.
Nathan, I'm so sorry. Please, guys, give it up for Nathan Amzi.
I'm sorry, Nathan.
I didn't...
He can sing. He can really sing, that fella.
- There's not enough places. - I know.
It's like back at blind auditions
when you know there's a lot of acts to listen to, and I'm conscious
not to fill up that one precious place that I have too soon.
It was another level, it was incredible,
and yet I'm glad I put them together for that moment.
At the moment, I feel bad for Nathan, being out of the competition,
especially... He should have been a steal.
It's ridiculous that he wasn't, but that moment is now on film,
and it's, you know...
The whole nation'll see it, and soon the whole world will see it.
Mate.
- Well done. - Thank you. I'm so sorry.
Keep in touch, yeah? Keep in touch.
I would've picked Nathan, but that's me.
And that's why they're on Ricky's team.
So, he let a supreme being exit the scene, if you know what I mean.
I'm going to the knockouts! Ah! I don't believe it!
So that's the state of play after tonight's battles,
and what a night it's been. They have sung their hearts out.
They have indeed, and thank you to our four superstar coaches.
Give it up for Mr Will.i.am.
Kylie.
Sir Tom Jones.
And Ricky Wilson.
Join us next time for more incredible performances
and decisions as the coaches continue their mission to find The Voice.
Good night!
Next week, the remaining singers step into the battle ring.
- I'm not one for violence. - Dog eat dog. - Blam!
And with just one steal available, all eyes are on Kylie.
No pressure!
Tough choices.
Eeny meeny minie mo.
What are we talking about, anyway?
- We're talking about glory. - Yeah! I was digging it. - And heartbreak.
- Don't ask me anything. - As the battles continue.
