- MARVIN: - Last night on The Voice...
- Whoo! - Booyah! Booyah! Booyah! Booyah!
You sang that like your life depended on it.
He was good.
Will and Rita picked their live show line-ups.
Team Will is ready to go live.
Tonight, it's round two of the knockouts.
- MARVIN: - And with only six precious places left,
the countdown has begun.
This is crunch time.
- It's me and it's Ricky. - Good luck, Sir Tom Jones.
It's all or nothing.
I can't do it.
I know she sings better than that.
Don't be sorry.
There's no second chances and every decision counts.
It's knockout time.
Rate the performance.
And play our super cool new home coach game.
- MARVIN: - Be a home coach and download the new Voice UK app now.
Booyah! Booyah! Booyah!
Whoo!
Yeah!
Hello and welcome to The Voice.
As the knockouts continue,
tonight it's up to Ricky Wilson and Sir Tom Jones
to choose just three of their artists to take into the live shows.
Yes, they're about to face their hardest decisions yet,
so please welcome our coaches.
Hello!
- Hello! - Good evening, coaches.
- Hello. - Good evening.
CHEERING
How are we all?
Wonderful.
Ricky, tonight you're cutting your teams down from eight to three.
Doesn't get any easier, does it, this competition?
No. I don't know what to do with myself.
It's...it's scary.
But it's going to be good, because they're all fantastic
and I know they can't wait to show you what they can do.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Very best of luck for this evening.
Are you all ready?
Good, because the first knockout tonight comes from Team Ricky.
RICKY GASPS
I'm looking forward to the knockouts.
- Hey. - Hey. How you doing?
'Got a team of brilliant singers, and they choose their own song,'
so this is where it gets really interesting.
Welcome to the best team on The Voice.
There's lots of competition on Team Ricky.
I'm really excited, cos I don't know any of your song choices.
This is what you think will represent you.
Five people are going home. It's kind of, like, worrying.
I just don't want to lose any of you.
- Are you going to fight? ALL: - Yeah! - There you go.
It's quite an intense environment,
and anything to break up the tension, I'm up for.
When I'm nervous or excited, I do this dance.
Ricky was dancing. Well...trying to dance.
Everyone do this. Like, that. We've got our own dance.
To the left.
I do like a dance.
It's a stress releaser.
Ricky likes to dance a lot.
He's got some moves.
Ricky's dancing...
This is the Ricky dance.
It's making me feel less nervous.
I think Team Ricky will be doing the nervous dance backstage.
It actually did calm my nerves,
cos you're thinking about the dance moves.
And who gets to say that they're dancing with Ricky Wilson?
'Thing is, everyone worries.
'It's just a case of whether you show it or not.'
Still dancing.
So, Ricky, big decision to make, as we've already said.
You won't be making that decision
until all eight of your artists have performed.
- Uh-uh. - But do you have any final words of advice for them?
I don't want to fill their heads up any more
than they're filled up already.
You know what you're doing, just do it.
Remember it's all about the experience, so enjoy it.
Enjoy the moment. I will.
LAUGHTER
OK, starting off the knockouts tonight, it's Christina.
Here we go.
She can sing.
She sure can.
Christina - big voice, great personality.
She's a really emotional person.
- The potential is incredible. - Thank you.
She's going from strength to strength.
She just needed to keep that momentum up in the knockouts.
What song are you going to sing for me today?
- You Gotta Be by Des'ree. - # You gotta be...
- # You gotta be... # - Yes.
I feel like this song's a bit sentimental for me.
Growing up, I didn't feel accepted.
I was bullied and I was told I was ugly. I was told I was too fat.
That song brings me into a place where I'm loving who I am.
It gives me the confidence to just not be scared to be me.
I wanted, like, a stamp, like, two stamps.
# All I know, all I know
♪ Love will save the day. ♪
Yeah.
Rehearsal went really well.
Her confidence is snowballing and it's really showing.
- You're better than you think you are. Well done. - Thank you.
I'm a fighter and I'm just going to go all guns blazing.
# Listen as your day unfolds
# Challenge what the future holds
# Try and keep your head up to the sky
# Lovers, they may cause you tears
# Go ahead release your fears
# Stand up and be counted
# Don't be ashamed to cry
# You gotta be
# You gotta be bad You gotta be bold
# You gotta be wiser
# All I know, all I know
# Love will save the day
# Don't ask no questions
# It goes on without you
# Leaving you behind
# If you can't stand the pace
# The world keeps on spinning
# You can't stop it if you try to
# This time it's danger staring you in the face
# Lovers, they may cause you tears
# Go ahead, release your fears
# My, oh my
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh
# Yeah
# You, oh my
# Yeah
# You gotta be cool You gotta be calm
# You gotta stay together
# All I know, all I know
♪ Love will save the day. ♪
CHEERING
Make some noise for Christina!
- Strong. - Good, isn't she? - Yeah.
Swag.
Thanks.
Next up, one of Ricky's steals. It's Olivia.
Olivia has got quite a delicate voice, which is unique,
but it was kind of obvious in the battles
that she let Clark walk all over her.
♪ It's the only way... ♪
I stole her because she does something different to anyone else
in the show at the moment.
I know you're better than you were in the battles.
- Yeah. - So what I need you to do now is get that back.
I feel like I do have a lot more to give.
There isn't a second chance for the knockout.
'I've chosen to sing Wicked Game by Chris Isaak.'
I think a young girl singing and older man's song,
that's completely different and you wouldn't expect it.
The only thing you have to really nail is the first time you go to...
♪ And I... ♪
It needs to sound a lot more confident.
- I'll try. - It will get there. I've got confidence in you. - OK, good.
Ricky's built my confidence up and, like, given me a bit of fight.
It's made me just really want to show him what I can do
and just go for it.
# The world was on fire
# And no-one could save me but you
# It's strange what desire
# Will make foolish people do
# I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
# No, I don't wanna fall in love
# With you
# What a wicked game you play
# To make me feel this way
# What a wicked thing to do
# To make me dream of you
# I don't wanna fall in love
# No, I don't wanna fall in love
♪ With you. ♪
Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Olivia, everyone.
- That was amazing, amazing. - Thank you.
Next into Ricky's knockouts, it's Hannah.
CHEERING
Hannah, she's one of my favourites.
Her blind audition has really stuck with me.
Ricky's team.
She's got a lot of experience of being around musicians,
writing with Rudimental and stuff like that.
Making the step out of the studio onto the stage is petrifying.
In the battles, she had a timing issue at the beginning.
But as soon as she was in the song, I preferred Hannah's performance.
Hannah.
What are you singing?
- I'm singing Drunk In Love by Beyonce. - Wow.
- You're taking that on? - Yeah.
Why not do a Beyonce song? Let's push the boat out.
♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... ♪
SHE LAUGHS
- Shall we hear it? - Yes.
- OK. - Please.
I can tell she's thinking too much about it,
but I really like her vibe, I really like the way she performs.
I'm really excited.
Good, cos that's what I feel about you, I just love the performance.
- It makes you really happy. - It does make me really happy.
I feel comfortable in the song, I feel like it's mine.
I know it back to front.
I know how to count myself into this one.
It might be all right.
# I've been drinking I've been drinking
# I get freaky when you get that liquor in me
# I've been thinking I've been thinking
# Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
# I want you, na-na
# Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
# I want you, na-na
# Now
# Cigars on ice Cigars on ice
# Feeling like an animal with them cameras in my grille
# Flashing lights, flashing lights
# You got me faded, faded, faded
# Baby, I want you, na-na
# You got me fading out
# I want you
# Well, I woke up in the kitchen saying
# How the hell did this happen?
# Oh, baby
# Drunk in love
# We'll be all night
# Love
# In love
# We'll be all night
♪ Drunk in love. ♪
CHEERING
Let's hear it for Hannah.
Well done.
Next up, it's Stevie.
Stevie, Stevie McCrorie.
He's a fireman and he's got this great rock voice
but with this tinge of tenderness and folkieness to it.
You're really hot.
And there's something about him
when he sings which makes you like him even more.
The song I'm singing is Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
For me, it's about having a good life,
but there's still that small thing that's missing,
which, for me, is singing.
- Honestly, it's really, really good. - Thanks very much, Ricky.
- I feel like I've got more to give on it as well. - Definitely, definitely.
Stevie's a nice guy, but he's a worrier.
He's worried about thinking too much about what he does,
cos he just wants it to happen.
Have confidence in the fact that this is what you do
and this is who I am, you know what I mean?
I never even thought I would reach the knockouts.
I feel so lucky to be here.
'So all I can do is go out there and sing my heart out.'
# I have climbed
# The highest mountains
# I have run through the fields
# Only to be with you
# But I still haven't found
# What I'm looking for
# I believe in the kingdom come
# Then all the colours
# Will bleed into one
# Bleed into one
# Yes, I'm still running
# But I still haven't found
# What I'm looking for
# But I still haven't found
♪ What I'm looking for. ♪
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Make some noise for Stevie!
Yeah.
He's good.
I liked that.
It's fine, it's fine.
Oh, man.
Next on for Team Ricky, it's Letitia.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
When Ricky said my name, I got so excited.
It's Letitia's night.
I couldn't even breathe.
I literally just wanted to get off the stage and jump on his head.
I could kiss you.
Letitia - great voice, great personality,
she really makes me laugh.
THEY LAUGH
What song are you singing?
- Twist And Shout. - Twist AND Shout? - Yes. - Both in one song? - Yes!
I want everybody up dancing in the audience.
See how it goes on the day.
There are some high notes in it.
I'm always panicking that they're not going to come out.
Rehearsals started really well, but she got upset
because her voice wasn't doing what she wanted it to do.
♪ Come on and work it... ♪
Don't do this! Ah!
She's invested so much emotion in it she is messing it up a little bit.
What are you sorry about?
Come with me.
I was trying to do what Ricky was asking me to do
and I just kept messing up.
You're winding yourself up.
You're not pathetic.
Don't be sorry. You're my heart and soul of this team.
'In the rehearsal, I just folded.'
Don't go away disappointed with this.
But you must always have rain before a rainbow,
so I'm going to show you a rainbow tonight.
Cheer up.
I swear, I'm really happy.
# Well, shake it up, baby, now
# Shake it up, baby
# Twist and shout
# C'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, baby, now
- # Come on, baby... # - Come on, come on, get up.
# Come on and work it all out
# Work it on out
# Well, work it all out, now, honey
# Work it on out
# You know you look so good
# Look so good

♪ Oh, yeah! ♪
Ha!
Whoo!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Please raise the roof for Letitia!
Well done, baby!
So good. So good.
- TOM: - Shake it, baby! - RITA: Shake it, baby!
How do you compete with this, eh?
I don't know.
It's just so hard.
Singing to take a precious place in Ricky's top three, it's Emmanuel.
CHEERING
Go, Emmanuel!
- DEEP VOICE: - My name's Emmanuel.
Ooh!
What the hell just happened, man?!
He is a man of few words and he's a man of very deep words.
Yes.
- DEEP VOICE: - I knew you had a deep-ass voice.
Yeah, I know.
But when he sings, you can feel it.
He can sing pretty much anything and put his twist on it.
So what song have you chosen?
- I've Been Loving You Too long. - I know you have, but...
- Otis Redding. - Yeah. - Oh, right, amazing.
Why did you choose it?
I've gone through the stuff that he's talking about.
Basically, there was this girl that I really liked...
There's always a girl.
He had his heart broken, which is very useful.
It's a classic song, but it's just his twist on it that I really like.
'I want to make sure I have a place in Ricky's final three.'
I'd just love to be there.
Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know it could get any better.
It got better.
He's doing something that's really individual,
and if he does what he did in rehearsal,
I don't think he's got much to worry about.
# I've been loving you
# For too long
# To stop now
# Ooh
# You were tired
# And you want to be free
# My love is growing stronger
# As you become a habit to me
# Oh, I've been loving you
# Oooh
# For too long
# To stop now
# Ooh, oh
# No
♪ Oh, oh, oh-oh. ♪
I like that. Yeah.
CHEERING
Yeah.
Emmanuel, everyone!
Thanks. All right, Stevie. Thanks, man.
That song, I've only ever heard it one way.
- I know. - Otis Redding.
He's great, isn't he?
Hot on his heels, it's Autumn.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Autumn, she's great.
When she first sang, I knew she was something special.
She's doing this for her family, to show them what you can do.
As a family, we've been through a lot.
My mum fled Somalia after the war just so we could have a better life.
She just deserves to be happy now.
- Hey, Ricky. - Hi, Autumn.
You're just exuding confidence, and you look like a pop star. Well done.
- Cheers. - What song have you chosen?
I've chosen Human Nature by Michael Jackson.
That's a bit of a switch around.
I didn't expect that one.
I definitely want the public to see a different side to me,
because I'm more than just a ballad singer.
It gave me a glimpse of something that I didn't know she could do.
She's shown us extra layers of what she's got.
I hope she keeps doing that.
People are going to be shocked. I'm really, really pleased at that.
There are no steals, there are no safety nets,
you either go through or you don't.
I'm just going to sing it like I've never sung it before.
# Looking out
# Across the night-time
# The city winks a sleepless eye
# Hear her voice
# Shake my window
# Sweet, seducing sighs
# If they say, why, why, why?
# Tell 'em that it's human nature
# Why, why does he do it that way?
# Hey
# Reaching out
# To touch a stranger
# Electric eyes are everywhere
# See that girl
# She knows I'm watching
# She likes the way I stare
# If they say, why, why, why?
# Tell 'em that it's human nature
# Why...
- # Does he do me that way? - Yeah
# Why?
# Tell him that it's human nature
# Why...
# Does he do me that way?
# Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
# Ooh
♪ Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh... ♪
Yeah.
♪ Ooh. ♪
CHEERING
Let's hear it for Autumn!
That was high.
Well done. That was amazing.
- I didn't know she could do that. - No. I mean, she does a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's got the instrument there, definitely.
And finally for Team Ricky, it's his steal, Claudia.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I stole Claudia because I thought she was good in the blinds
and I thought she was brilliant in the battles.
She's just an incredible singer
who could perform anything you throw at her.
I'm just a 17-year-old girl from Ireland.
'My parents have always taught me to aim big.
'They are so supportive it is unbelievable.'
- What are you singing? - I'm singing Misty Blue, Dorothy Moore.
I didn't expect a 17-year-old girl to be choosing that.
I wanted to find a song that not a lot of people have done.
I think the biggest challenge of this song
is portraying the emotions.
It's a really deep song.
A lot of the stuff I haven't gotten to experience yet.
I don't know where that soul comes from. She can sing anything.
In a way, I'd be mad to lose her.
Tom is going to be livid.
# Oh
# It's been such a long, long time
# Looks like I got you off of my mind
# But I can't
# Just the thought of you
# Oh, oh
# Turns my whole world misty blue
# No, no, no, no, no, no
# Baby, I should forget you
# Heaven knows I've tried
# Baby, ba-ba-ba-baby
# When I said that I'm glad we're through
# Deep in my heart, I know I've lied
# Baby, baby, baby
# I can't forget you
# My whole world
♪ Turns misty blue. ♪
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Claudia, everyone.
Let's hear it for Team Ricky.
So there's my problem.
There's my problem.
- Yeah. - It's tough.
All right.
Oh, Ricky. What have you done?
- You just made it absolutely impossible. - Yep.
Sit there, have a little think.
We're going to go to the other coaches first.
Tom, what did you think of Team Ricky?
I think there were some that were stronger than others,
but that's not for me to decide.
If you want some help, I loved Christina at the beginning.
CHEERING
But, you see, I loved Autumn and I loved Claudia, so, you know...
- Thanks, Tom. - Well, you know. - Real help there. - Thank you, Tom.
Rita, what did you think of Team Ricky?
Some were better than others, I'm not going to say who,
cos I don't have to. Ha-ha!
But, you know, I think it's tough. It's really tough.
It literally goes by so quick, so, you know,
to captivate someone in that amount of time is really difficult.
Will, tonight, as we've said, the artists picked their own songs.
Do you think they picked wisely?
Some of them did, some of them didn't.
- But, overall, I think people were nervous. - Yeah.
The nerves really got to them today.
There was a lot of heavy breathing today, so...
You could hear it in the mic.
I could hear it, like, singing, breath.
- WILL INHALES - There was a lot of breaths.
But other than that, we'll judge it on what could be, at this point.
Ricky has a tough job, cos he has awesome singers.
Thank you, Will. Thank you.
Ricky, how did you think your team did?
I think we did amazingly, guys.
Our team's the best one. Sorry.
APPLAUSE
OK, Ricky, are you ready?
- Eight must become three. - Yeah.
It's time for you to make your knockout decision.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
OK.
OK!
OK, the first person...
Right, so, I chose this person cos they were like a gift to me.
I really think there's a place for this person on the radio,
on the stage, basically in everyone's hearts.
The first person going through to the lives is...
..Emmanuel.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done, babe. Well done.
Emmanuel, congratulations.
You are going through to the live shows.
Thank you so much.
Yeah!
He was great.
Thank you so much. Seriously, like...
I'm so, so pleased for you. It's a gorgeous song.
Was there anybody in mind?
Yeah, um...
Yeah, there was this girl I used to like.
I just kept thinking about her, and, uh...
I thought it was for me!
LAUGHTER
- Forget her, sing it to Rita. - I will.
Like, seriously. Like, let's do it!
Emmanuel, congratulations.
You are going through to the live shows.
CHEERING
Ricky, it's time for you to make your next knockout decision.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
The reason I've chosen the next person
is because I feel like they're just coming to life as a performer.
If I need anyone in the lives that I can really count on,
I think this person can deliver that.
The second person going through to the lives is...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
He's called Stevie.
CHEERING
Stevie, congratulations,
you are also going through to the live shows.
Come here.
Man, thanks so much.
You all right?
Well done.
Two strapping chaps.
I know! I thought I was one for the ladies.
How are you feeling?
As you saw, I can't believe it.
When Emmanuel went through, I thought that was it for the guys.
It's so amazing to be here in the first place and to get this far.
You've got to go a bit further now, cos you are going to the live shows.
Well done.
Um, OK.
So one more crucial place remains in Ricky's live show line-up.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
I had in mind who I wanted to take, and it changed and it changed again.
I know that this person...there's something really special about them.
The third and last person I'm taking through to the lives is...
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
It's Autumn.
CHEERING
Congratulations, Autumn.
- Ricky! - You all right?
Yes!
I can't believe it.
- I really can't believe it. - Why can't you believe it?
Everyone is so amazing, and literally...
Oh, Autumn.
You are going to the live shows.
All three of you are going to the live shows.
A massive congratulations.
Please put your hands together one more time
for Emmanuel, Stevie and Autumn,
otherwise known as Team Ricky.
They all did so well.
I think they all have a lot to be proud of.
You do have to make decisions with what you really feel inside.
I just felt like that was the thing I had to do.
They haven't made it into the final three,
but they've been incredible, haven't they, Ricky?
Oh, yeah. I mean, you've all changed so much.
I really think now you do believe you can make it happen,
and that's all you need. All you need is that.
Please give it up for Christina, Olivia, Hannah, Letitia and Claudia!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
CHEERING
I thought Emmanuel's performance was really honest. He's real.
He put his own flavour to it.
I felt what he was feeling.
I would definitely have put Stevie through to the live shows.
I think he's got potential, cos when he's off stage, he's so shy.
When he's own, he just comes to life.
If I was in his shoes, I would have picked Autumn.
She's gorgeous and sings incredible. Autumn is the bomb.
- I think Ricky's got a strong team. Mine's to come. - I know it is.
How do you feel?
- I feel excited. - I'm really excited to see some of your people.
They're really good.
Yeah. So I just want you to listen and learn.
Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
OK, that's one live line-up complete.
Next up to knock out this evening is Sir Tom.
My team is better than everyone else's.
ALL: Team Tom!
TOM ROARS
They are very versatile.
I've got the oldest contestant and I've got the youngest.
- I'm 16. - 16?!
Everyone wants it.
I don't think there are any two that are alike.
You've just got to be the one who can stand out.
If you're going to prove something, now's the time to prove it.
When you're in the presence of a legend,
it's like Yoda from Star Wars.
This guy's got wisdom.
Show me what you can all do.
STAR WARS THEME PLAYS
There's so many dimensions to Team Tom.
- He's just out of this world. - Yeah!
Tom Jones is the Force!
You can either be too forceful or not forceful enough.
Some people just shine when they come on stage.
It's knockout time.
OK, Sir Tom, you've got a very difficult decision to make.
Before you do that, you've got to see your entire team perform.
Have you got any words of advice for them?
The most important thing is
to think about the song that you're singing individually.
Don't worry about who you're up against,
just think about what you are doing yourself.
Be as honest as you can.
OK, well, let's do that. Let's hear it for Sir Tom right now.
Starting us off is one of Tom's steals.
Let's hear it for Joyful Soundz.
Good luck, Sir Tom Jones.
Joyful Soundz, I think that's a great name because they are joyful.
They're gospel singers.
We sing in church every week. It's about making people feel happy.
I stole Joyful Soundz from Will
cos I thought they were too good to go home.
I think they both complement one and other when they sing.
And they add more flavour to my team.
Yeah, just relax. Have a good time.
'I was nervous in front of Sir Tom.'
TOM LAUGHS
The press-ups, again, it's all part of the nerves.
Patrick is quite a character, so I'm expecting a soulful,
joyful performance.
- Wow, that's great. - Thank you. - I'm lost for words.
It doesn't come often, does it, Pat?
Usually I'm saying... PATRICK MUMBLES
As long as Patrick sings and doesn't talk, they've got a big chance.

Thank you.
Oh, imagine he takes all three girls in.
It would be amazing.
Next up it's Tom's second steal - Karl!
CHEERING
Karl is a hard-working young man.
I'm the guy who works at a supermarket,
but it's not what I want to do.
I'd love a career as a singer.
Yes!
I am absolutely over the moon about being stolen by Sir Tom Jones.
He brings to my team something that I haven't got already.
He's a strong theatrical singer.
So, Karl, what song are you going to do?
I've picked the iconic Elton John, Your Song.
Yeah, big song, big voice.
Everyone knows Elton's version,
so I just want to make it my own the best I can.
That's the best thing to do.
This is a song that's been covered by a lot of people,
but I think Karl is giving it his own style.
Yeah!
Going red in the face on the last note, wonderful.
He's going to pass out in five... No, he's still good.
It's a biggie, you know?
Yeah, you just take a deep breath. When I used to sing in the clubs,
makes sure your face goes red at the end
so everybody knows you're really going for it.
'Sometimes that's the only thing that people remember -
'the last note.'
He's got to nail that last one,
cos that's what sticks in people's minds.
# My gift is my song
# And this one's for you
# I sat on the roof
# And I kicked off the moss
# Well, a few of these verses
# Well, they've...
# They've got me quite cross
# But the sun's been kind
# While I wrote this song
# It's for people like you that
# Keep it turned on
# You can tell everybody
# This is your song
# It may be quite simple but
# Now that it's done
# I hope you don't mind
# That I put down in words
# How wonderful life is
# Now you're in the world

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
One more time for Karl, everyone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Best of luck.
Well done, man. Well done.
That was amazing.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
WILL LAUGHS
- Smash it, you'll be brilliant. - You're going to be amazing.
Thank you.
Next in Sir Tom's knockouts - it's Rosa.
CHEERING
Rosa is the youngest in the competition,
but you wouldn't know it when she sings.
- How old are you? - I'm 16. - 16?!
Yeah.
It's difficult juggling schoolwork and rehearsals,
but I'm just going to try my hardest.
We'll see at parents' evening on Thursday
what my teachers say about it.
Oh, God...
What's the song you've chosen, then?
- I've chosen Heart Of Glass by Blondie. - Oh, yes.
She's really cool.
I think she picked the right song for her.
'It's a very iconic record and it's got a young feel to it.'
- Yeah, I liked it. - Thank you. - Yeah.
I know you've only been singing in school,
- I mean, that's the most experience you've had. - Yeah.
It's really crazy, cos one day you're in French class doing a test
and then 24 hours later you're with Tom Jones
and he's coaching you on how to sing.
- Just be confident in yourself. - Yeah.
- I think everything will be fine. - Thank you.
She knows what she has to do,
so I don't think her lack of experience
bothers her in the slightest.
# Once I had a love and it was a gas
# Soon turned out had a heart of glass
# Seemed like the real thing
# Only to find
# Mucho mistrust Love's gone behind
# In between
# What I find is pleasing
# Yeah, I'm feeling fine
# Love is so confusing
# There's no peace of mind
# If I fear I'm losing you
# It's just no good
# You teasing like you do
# Ooh-ooh, ooh-wow
# Once I had love and it was divine
# Soon found out I was losing my mind
# It seemed like the real thing

♪ Ooh-ooh, ooh-wow. ♪
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah!
Let's hear it for Rosa!
WILL:
I just like the fact she's really young and she's doing something
that no-one else is doing.
- She's not copying anyone else... - No. - ..right now, you know what I mean?
- Mm. - It was good.
Next into the knockouts, it's Daniel.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Daniel Duke is an accomplished musician with a great voice.
I love Daniel's folkie sound.
- Daniel! - Hey, how's it going? - How are you? - I'm good, thank you.
Oh, look at this, mandolin.
- Thought I'd bring something a little different along. - Oh, good.
Well, then, I can't wait to hear it.
I've been a musician for as long as I could sing, you know.
I just love taking songs in no way related to my genre
and pushing them totally the other direction.
I think it's a good thing that he's playing the mandolin on this one.
It adds to his voice, it represents him very well.
I really wanted to bring my own kind of take to it,
- so I've put a lot of effort into the arrangement. - You succeeded.
Thank you, that means a lot.
He seemed impressed, so hopefully as long as I pull off a performance
on the night, he'll be happy.
# I stay out too late
# Got nothing in my brain
# That's what people say Mm-mm
# But I keep cruising

- That was good. - Yeah? - That was good, yeah, that was good.
- Yeah, Taylor Swift. - Yeah.
Thank you very much. Well done.
- RITA: Loved the song. Risky. - Yeah, I know.
- But not in a bad way, in a good way. - No, no, I know.
Next for Team Tom, it's Sasha.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Before The Voice, I was just doing bricklaying.
This is, like, the biggest thing that's ever
happened in my entire life.
There was a connection.
Now that you're telling me that you're a bricklayer...
I used to be a hod carrier.
LAUGHTER
Sasha is a soulful singer.
She rang true to me, but she's a nervous person.
It just gets too much for her.
You're shaking.
Everything OK?
- Yes. - So what song are you going to do?
It's Lost And Found by Lianne La Havas.
Yeah, I know it. So it's a very emotional song for you.
One of my fears with my song is that I'll lose myself
in the emotion of it.
You all right, love?
I can't do it.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
You all right?
You OK?
It means a lot, more than anything.
It frustrates me when I don't perform well.
Don't let the emotions get too strong,
don't let it control you, that you can't get your feeling out.
I know she can do it as long as she controls her emotion.
Don't let it crush you, for goodness' sake. All right?
- Yeah. - All right, my love.
I want to believe that I can do it, but if my emotions take over,
then I know I won't go through.
# Come upstairs and I'll
# Show you where all my
# Where my demons hide from you
# Just look at who I have become
# I am so ashamed
# You were the one
# That made me feel the way I do
# You broke me

SASHA SIGHS
WILL:
Yeah.
- That was H-O to the T. - From the heart.
It was beautiful. I wouldn't just say that to anyone, you know?
Singing to stay on Team Tom, everyone give it up for Sharon.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Go on, Sharon!
Sharon has the most unusual voice.
♪ Forever yours... ♪
She doesn't sound like anybody.
She won the battle for me because she moved me.
- How are you, love? - Grand. - Lovely to see you.
So how are you feeling?
- Nervous. - Ah, you'll be all right, don't worry about it.
Sharon, you know, was brought up in a convent.
She said that she was very shy and intimidated when she was young,
but she's not shy when she sings.
I hope that the song will allow me to draw from my experience in myself.
I've always longed to be out there as a singer.
Coming from where I've come from, I do feel that my dream is coming true.
Wow. It sounds terrific.
Sharon was great,
because she's held that real, emotional-sounding approach.
I think that is the only way she can sing,
so as long as she holds that, it'll be great.
# The road is narrow and long

Lara Lee is a soulful singer.
She has a big instrument and she knows how to use it.
♪ That's the worst thing I could do... ♪
She does poetry to music as well, so she's into lyrics.
Thank you.
- So the song? - The song is God Bless The Child.
- A beautiful song. - Billie Holiday, she went through a lot.
There's a message in there as well.
Things have been hard in my past. I left home at the age of 12.
But I do feel like I'm growing in confidence
and believing in myself more and more.
This song describes her.
I think she's putting her life story into that song.
Yeah!
- Thank you. - Well, that sounded great, that.
Yay.
This means everything to me right now
and I really don't want it to end.
I want to go further and further in this competition.

Last up for Team Tom, it's Howard.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Howard is a charming man, and very musical.
I'm a tutor at the School of Rock & Pop.
Whoo! Let's go.
'But the dream of being a rock and roll star, it's never left me.'
In the battles, Howard was great,
but I didn't choose him for his dance moves.
He didn't like it, did he?
I think it could be a little distracting.
You want to watch some Tom Jones videos. He's got some moves.
Have you cooled down now since all those moves you were doing?
So what song are you going to do?
I'm doing Proud Mary by Creedence.
Creedence Clearwater. Sure.
I'm glad that now, doing Proud Mary,
he's not trying to leap all over the place.
It's going to be hard to resist dancing,
but I'll try to make sure all of the energy is going
into the vocal performance.
# Left a good job in the city
# Working for the man every night and day
# But I never lost one minute of sleeping

- Yeah. Yeah, you got a tough decision. - Yeah.
You know you can't really weigh them up against each other
- cos they're doing different things. - Yeah.
OK, let's hear it for Team Tom.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ricky, are you giving Tom a last few words of advice?
- Yeah, we were just telling him. - Yeah, we were just having a little confab.
- Carry on. - Ooh, I want to know, I want to know.
What are we thinking, Tom?
Did you already have three in your mind before the guys
- took to the stage? - More or less. - OK.
But it's changed slightly now.
As you know, Tom, you've got three very big decisions to make.
Rita, what did you make of it?
I honestly have no idea who he's going to pick. I cannot say...
You have such a strong team, Tom. It's truly...
Well done for finding these contestants.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
RICKY: Very, very strong.
- Mr Wilson. - Hello.
Could you feel the Tom Jones effect coming from the stage tonight?
I feel it all the time. I'm feeling it right now.
- If it was your team? - OK, if it was my team.
OK, well, I thought all the boys were brilliant tonight.
I've got a real soft spot for Sasha.
And just because she's so special and different, Sharon.
Every single person is awesome.
If he has to send three people into the finals,
I already see six people on the stage that deserve to go through,
and then three others that deserve to go through too, so that's a lot.
That's, like, nine folks.
LAUGHTER
Sir Tom, now it's time to make your first knockout decision.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
OK, whoa, whoa.
Hang on. Wait a minute.
The first person I'm going to put through is...
..Sasha.
CHEERING
Sasha!
You are going through to the live shows, well done!
- Thank you, Tom. - All right, my love?
- Sasha. - Hey, Marvin.
- Thank you. - Well done.
How much does this mean to you, Sasha?
Um, a lot. I'm so grateful and so thankful. Thank you so much.
Bless you. One more time for Sasha. Well done, hon.
Sir Tom, it's time for you to make your next knockout decision.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
The second one is based on versatility...and strength.
My second choice is Lara Lee.
CHEERING
You're through to the live shows, Lara. Congratulations.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Come on, Lara. Come on. Give us a hug. Come on. Group hug.
Lara, it's been a long road to get here. How happy are you right now?
I'm absolutely over the moon. I'm in the galaxies out there somewhere.
I'm so, so happy.
Take it in, it's well deserved. OK, so we've got Sasha and Lara.
They're going through to the live shows on Team Tom,
but let's find out who that final place is going to be going to.
Tom, it's time to make your final knockout decision.
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
This is where I'm totally confused here.
Each one of these singers deserves to go through,
there's no doubt about that, so...
Who's getting the final place?
AUDIENCE SHOUTS OUT
The person that came up...
..is Howard.
- CHEERING - Howard!
You're through to the live shows, Howard. Congratulations.
Oh, my God.
- You did, you nailed it. - Thank you. - You did.
Congratulations.
- Well done, man. Well done. - Oh.
OK, so now we have Sasha, Lara and Howard
going through to the live shows.
Everyone, put your hands together one more time for Team Tom.
I made it hard for myself again, because they were so good.
They all performed really well.
They did what they set out to do, and they did it excellently.
OK, guys, this may be the end of your time on The Voice,
but you got to sing for a legend right here next to me,
so let's hear it one more time
for Joyful Soundz, Karl, Rosa, Daniel and Sharon on Team Tom.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whooo!
CHEERING
Tom's team is looking really strong, cos he has Howard.
You can never guess what he's going to do,
and every time he does it you're blown away.
The competition is on, because Howard is that super.
Lara Lee! Lara Lee! Lara Lee!
RITA: I love Lara Lee. I love her Floetry vibe.
It's almost just a rhythmic, poetic music
that I think could be great for right now.
LAUGHTER
RICKY: Sasha, she's one of my favourites in the entire competition.
I think she's spectacular.
I would definitely have taken Sasha.
