The difference between this show and all other
talent shows is that you hear the voice first.
Doesn't matter what you look like,
you are going to get a shot at this.
It's about vocals and about being a talent.
I'm ready to meet an artist and we create things that make them stars.
Tonight, the competition steps up a gear.
As the coaches fight it out for the UK's best voice.
We are going to beat these people.
Everybody is in it to win it. Pick me!
Four of the biggest music stars on the planet
receipt on a mission to discover and develop the UK's next great voice.
Will.i.am. worldwide music producer
and founder of the Black Eyed Peas. Will.i.am speaks for himself.
An all-rounder, sings, raps and does production.
Jessie J pop's fresher talent with a double platinum selling debut album and
six top ten hits. She is a strong character, she is young, she knows what she wants.
He has cool swag. Danny O'Donoghue. Songwriter and
frontman of stadium-filling, chart stopping band, The Script.
He is a songwriter, from deuce deucer, he is a fresh Irish singer.
We have something in common, we are Celts. And the legendary Sir Tom Jones.
Six decades in the business and 100 million records sold. This is how it works.
If a coach like what is they hear, they hit their button,
turn round and secure that Voice for their team.
But if more than one coach turns, the artist gets
the power to choose who they want to work with.
If no coach turns, then the artist is out of the competition.
Thank you for your comments. It's been fantastic thank you.
Each coach is desperate to mentor and develop the one artist
who has what it takes to win. Blind auditions continue now on The Voice.
As the coaches take to their seats, our first artist is on his way.
Had he has experience on his side, but will that shine through
in his blind audition? Entertaining is my passion, singing, dancing,
acting I love all three. I'm always learning and trying to improve.
I have worked of a lot of actors. Guilty or not guilty?
Not guilty, sir. I have done Casualty, Spooks. I entered The Voice because I thought
it would be an amazing opportunity to be mentored by great coaches.
That, in itself, that's incredible. I think it's important that I don't
use my experiences to make me think that I have this in the bag.
I want the coaches to turn around. I'm going to do all I can to make that.

Thank you so much. Thank you you guys too. What is your name?
Heshima, I'm 25. You killed it. That was one hell of a performance.
Thank you so much. You could tell within the few seconds. I was first
in. You set something off in me I went, that man has something. You
see the crowds going crazy the dance moves come out of nowhere.
The vocals suffered a little bit. I think we can work on. I think you
are one to watch in this competition. I will kill to have
you on my team. I don't want to have to explain why I think you are
amazing. I think you're amazing. I agree with Danny, you started
losing what the focus was, that is the voice. Later on, when we are
Whoo... Whoo... Whooping the competition. None of their guys can
Dance whoop... Whoop... Whoop. Not going to do all the whoopp...
Stuff. Pick me! I thought you were great much you had it. You had the
whole thing. If you are looking for longevity, have you to be with me.
You are worldwide global performer. I know what that feels like,
Personally. I know what that feels like personally. What I meant by
that was, rewind... As a were deucer/songwriter, I work with
performers who tour. You are supposed to tour. How are you going
to take your career to the level that you tour the planet? I hope I
can help you do that. Promises of America and world tours, at the end
of this programme is a record deal. It's not with his label. I'm sorry,

such an important decision, do you know what I mean? Yes, it is.
I'm going to go for Will.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm not talking to you. What?
Not talking to you. I'm sorry. Sorry, I'm sorry... You played that
one lovely, Will, I was robbed. Was robbed! I'll call you. I want
the label you're on. No fighting allowed. Tom Jones, the Voice of
Maturity sends Will and Jessie to the naughty step. Here comes
another voice of experience. Glasgow gran Barbara Bryceland.
Bash wra bra... Barbara, I'm a glam gran from Glasgow. I enjoy being a
grandmother. I'm an individual as well. We are getting younger, not
in our age, but getting younger in our head and how we think. You seem
to be our more experienced contestants. I'm trying to find the
right way to say this? I'm old. Have been singing for longer than
most people in this competition? Definitely. Before these guys were
born. I will give the kids a run for their money. I've done what
they have done. I'm 20 something years up the road and I'm still
here. This is really important for me, when you become my age you kind
of become invisible. After 24 years, it's time to get a bit more
recognition. The Voice is the best show on the planet right now. I

The reason why I didn't turn around, the reason why I didn't turn around
Is because I knew that you and Mr One thing I want to say, when I was
a little girl growing up and all these years, he has always been a
legend in my house and my family and I'm so privileged. I pressed
the buzzer, you know what I think of you. I thought you were a great
singer, really, really great. A wonderful voice. I'm proud to have
you on my team. Team tomorrow. Are going to destroy all these
Other people. Give me a kiss before Tell me how you are feeling right
now? Cloud 9. Amazing. What a buzz. Tom Jones was my dream. He will
bring out the best of me. I sang with Aretha Franklin. Barbara is as
strong as she is. She grew up listening to Tom, now she's on his
Team. A good day for Barbara. Jones giving me the eyebrows.
Baby. Oh! From across the nation, the UK's best vocal talent were
invited to the Blind Auditions. That includes seasoned
Professionals like West End star I have been singing all my life but
I have been in musicals for about ten years. I got my first big show
My Fair Lady, I have been doing Les Miserables, Oliver, Chess, Wicked.
I have been very fortunate to have a really good career, but it's not
every day you get the possibility of working with four superstars.
Were you getting bored of the green make-up? Is that actually what this
is all about! I am known for being the green face. Yeah, it was just
an opportunity to be able to be myself and sing my own songs.
A risk. It is a risk. But, this industry is all about taking risks.
So, I am taking the risk. Kerry has a lot to prove. But before she
takes the stage, another artist is about to put all his faith and
Future in the strength of his voice. I am David, I am 23. I come from
the north-west. I used to stack shelves overnight at a supermarket
but I have quit my job, so that I can focus everything on The Voice.
I didn't realise how big it would become for me. This is my life, and
I want it to be my life in a big way. OK, what are you singing
today? The Man who Can't Be Moved by The Script. You are brave.
Me about it. It's a risk. Or a stroke of genius. I am hoping for
the latter, my own take on it as well. That's even braver. The guy
who wrote it is going to be sat there.
I have quit my job, I am singing a song to Danny, the guy who wrote it
and I hope it will all pay off, because if not, it's back to the

What's your name? David. How old
are you? 23. How come you decided to come on The Voice? I have taken
a big risk coming on here, I have quit my job. You are kidding me.
Just to be on here. Are you kidding me?! Fingers crossed, it was worth
the risk. I have to say, to sing my song, I heard the same heart and
the the same intention and motion that was there when I wrote it,
that's why I pushed the button. It was fantastic. Thank you.
I didn't press my button because I thought you were a girl and I have
enough girls on the team. If I had known you were a man I would have
pressed the bloody button! I pushed my button because you got like a
butter voice, you also have room to grow and become a megaartist, as
well as I am looking that far ahead down the competition. We have a
mission and that's to take singers out - take her singers out and win.
I am not in this to take anybody else's singers, to work with with,
be creative with people. You are saying Danny? I am not sure. Before
you start, if I was you and I was sitting here I would probably pick
Danny, but let me finish, you quit your job today, right? I quit my
job and that got me in the Peas, because I had to figure out do I
take a job or start a group with my passion. I did that. Boom, boom,
Here we are. I think I am going to go with Danny.
Congratulations. A great version as Well done. Amazing. The gamble paid
off. Yeah. Both risks, giving up work, now it looks like a distance
memory it was worth doing it and getting on here and singing my
heart out. But while David celebrates joining
Team Danny, back stage West End star Kelly Ellis is getting
something unusual - stage fright. Just hope someone turns around, I
really do! It's a huge opportunity that is riding on this one
performance. This could really change things for me, but if nobody

How long have you been singing? Pretty much all my life,
professionally about 12 years. Are a professional already? I have
been in musicals for about ten years. What musicals have
You been in. Wicked! Wicked, Oliver, Less Miserables, We
Will Rock You. I thought you did a phenomenonal job, I can't fault
that. All I can fault is myself for not turning the button. Why didn't
you turn around?! I am looking for a specific type of girl singer and
you are not it, you will be for 99% of the rest of the UK I am sure.
Thank you. This is the hardest part, where you
hear someone sing phenomenonal and the crowd is rocking. Why didn't
you turn around?! It seems to me that you have already made it, if
you are doing musicals now, you know, you are already there. You
are getting the exposure, it's great. APPLAUSE. Thank you very
The difficulty and the risk that I took was to be publicly said no to.
Yeah. That's That's strange but then it's character-building for me
and it's like, well, you know, you get back on the horse and carry on
and that's what I have done my whole career. Getting somebody like
Kerry on the show let's you know how tough this competition is. I
mean, even though she's successful and she's in the West End musicals,
she still wants to come on here and compete because we have so many
great singers on this show. That's the hardest part, you know, how
many do you pick? Still to come on The Voice tonight:
Will misses out. She was wow. Now it's on. A lifeguard gets cheeky.
I am not going to kiss you, don't get too excited, right. Will two
Voices get double the reaction? Whenever Vince Kidd goes, his
distinctive image gets heads turning. But in the blind auditions
only a distinctive voice will get the chairs turning.
I have definitely always been that kid growing up, that's just never
really fitted in. Always been slightly eccentric. Singing, can't
shut him up, but it's his life really. He's always had a very
unique style. My mum's horrified, she says look at the state of his
boots. But he is just Vince, still my little boy. You couldn't look
any different if you tried. He used to be a punk. What colour was your
hair back in the day. A few streaks down the side. Did you do the
sleeveless look?, just bondage trousers. As you do!
I definitely at times, you know, doubt myself. I definitely have
times when I can't do this. The fact I am not just going to be

I thought it was two people up there. What's your name?
I am Vince. How you doing? Where are you from? London, like suburban
south London. Very Very different by the way. Thank
you very much. Do you do that a lot? I don't do it on every song, I
wanted to play around with that song, make it something new.
Did definitely. It was great. You.
Personally I think you did a fantastic job, the look matched the
song choice and the energy you brought. You look absolutely
fantastic as well. Love to keep you on my team. I would have to say
first you flipped the hell out of that, you switched it up and I
never thought somebody could take Madonna's Like a Virgin and just
soul it up like that, because it was never intended on being like a
soul song. It's like the ultimate pop song ever. You put the
pwaufrpblg of soul sauce in it. It would be awesome if you could join
my squad. That was amazing, when I pulled this face I know that I like
it. I am all about voices and all about that. So, if you want to do a
lot of that, then holler! We all feel the same way. Did you turn
your chair? I didn't think I did. Of course I did. That's brilliant,
I was enjoying it so much. Thank you. I have to choose now. Oh, gosh.
Right, seriously, Tom Jones, you're an absolute legend. It's really
Hard. I've got four people that I very much respect and admire.
Sob story. I will fight for someone I want to win. That's you, boy.
Umm... Do you know what, I'm going to go with Jessie J. I just love
you. I love you. That's it. I love you, I love you, I love you. I used
What a voice. I really thought it
was two people. It's all right for you. I'm excited now. You know what,
I never ever get emotional, I feel very emotional. Congratulations.
Sometimes an artist's voice is totally at odds with their image.
Which is why we have Blind Auditions. So, what kind of vocal
surprise does 17-year-old Shansel have for our coaches? I'm Shansel,
I'm 17 and I'm a student. I've been singing all my life. When I was
nine months old my mum and dad bought a karaoke machine and they
couldn't keep me away with it. They will say, "can you shut up" because
I don't stop. I ain't been taught. I'm not posh. I'm very down-to...
earth. People don't expect the music I sing to come out of myself
because I don't put my Seve cross like that. It comes quite a shock
to everybody. People can't tell that I'm a 17-year-old by the way I
sing. My mum says I sound like a 30-year-old. I've never done
anything like this before. I've never performed in front of a load

Wow! What's your name? Shansel. That was beautiful. Thank you.
Old were you when you started singing? I'm 17 now. 17. Too late.
Too late. I've never had a singing lesson in my life I was taking
themicy out of KatherineJenkins and I found out I could to it. I didn't
turn around because I thought you would be older. I thought you would
be someone who I would be intimidated by. I think this isn't
the last we are going to be seeing of you. Thank you very much.
Kicking myself in the butt right now. Something told me to turn
around because there is an opportunity to re-invent radio.
Just because radio is the way it is, it doesn't mean it has to stay like
that. When I turned around and you told me you never took lessons and
17 years old and took themickey out of what you saw on TV, it's's my
fault that I missed an opportunity here on The Voice. I mean that from
The bottom of my heart Forlan real. Thank you.
She was wow! So tough, because you can't see them. That was supposed
to be thinking outside the box. I'm supposed to dream. You know, now
it's on! Are you all right? Well done? I wish they pushed the button.
The response I got after has been enough. I have taken in all the
advice. I soaked that all in. The response from will.i.am is good
enough for me, definitely. Well done. Shansel proves that there are
no second chances for our coaches and choosing on voice alone is
tough. If you were a coach, would you turn for Ross Wild's voice?

celebrations all round for road-hardened music man, Vince Freeman?
I'm 34, and a musician. I spent my entire life doing music. I don't
believe there is many people, if any, that work harder than me. At
the moment, I'm giging where I can get shows. I have been doing 300
shows a year. I have thrown everything I've got at being
successful. I started in my bedroom, slamming my feet. That's what I
like to do. It's all about those moments in front of that one person
that can change your whole life. All I've really wanted is the

You just turned your chair. Absolutely. What's your name?
Name is Vince. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too, sir. You have
no shoes on? I haven't. Why? Don't like playing with shoes.
You nice feet though? No, I've got web toes. You're awesome. Like,
really, really good. Thank you. Wanted to turn around the first
note you hit. You belong with Danny. You pla play the guitar and sing
wonderful, you are awesome, awesome, but you belong with him. I do know
talent when I hear it, yes, indeed. I turned my chair because there is
rareness in there. I think yours is the perfect voice to get me through
to the next round to beat these guys. Thanks, man. Come over here.
Get over here. So the shoeless wonder bags his
place on Team Danny. Mind your toes on the way out! Coming up: An 80s
superstar. A voice from the valleys. First of
all, we Welsh people have to stick together. You are the reason I came
on the show, to find people that can sing. And break it up, you lot.
You belong with Danny. You are kidding me. That's all it is.
Didn't turn around because - if you had sung one of our songs.
Right, guys, pick on the young girl. If you are making superstars fight
it out, you know you are on to a winner. So can Alex Josh get them
all squaring up? My name is Alex, I work part-time as a lifeguard. I am
a cheeky chappy. I wouldn't say I am a good boy, I got kicked out of
school. Wasn't a good move. Didn't get the qualifications. I could
have done better, you know. All I have ever wanted to do, even if
it's sing in a pub. I can't be a lawyer, I don't want to be one. I
want to make people happy. When you are on stage do girls respond to
you. They do. Is that a big draw for you, something you look forward
to, if it all goes well? Of course I look forward to girls!
I am Aleks, I am who I am. Just Aleks.

17. 17! My job's a lifeguard. That's cool. It isn't. It is, I
love that, I was always pretending to drown like... Because there was
Always cute boys. Jessie, if you drowned in my pool! Save me! I am
so nervous. Listen, for being nervous that was one hell of a
performance. Great song choice as well. Really suited you. You put
your own spin on it and honestly, I thought you were absolutely
fantastic. You know when you are walking down the street or you pass
by a restaurant or a store and you hear a song and right away your ear
goes. I heard it. I didn't want to wait another second so I hit my
button. The character of your voice is star quality.
The reason I didn't turn around was
because there was some tuning issues. Really smile, it will
change the sound... I turned round right around, he was smiling.
There's a difference. He was smiling the way you were taught to
smile if you had a voke app... vocal coach. No, it's fine. Just
Pick Danny. I am really dazed at the moment.
Sit down on the steps. Yeah, I am going to. I think Will, I know you
would be a good coach and everything, you are more rapping.
No, no. Yeah, he is. I am not saying you wouldn't be able to
teach me anything, I can't explain why, I am not good at explaining
anything like that. I just oh... Listen, can I just say. Can I sit
next to you? I am not going to kiss you, don't get too excited, right!
It's woefrt a... worth a try. On, take your time. I like your
band and you know, I think, you know, your lyrics I don't want to
Like... Say what's in your mind. That's the
winner right there, winner! I think I just found a winner.
So, after a USA versus Ireland showdown, Aleks goes for Team Danny.
It feels fantastic. Will really wanted Aleks bad. When the stakes
are high you have to play to win. It's not just what you know, it's
who you know. Frank Sinatra once told me. I worked for Macy Grey.
The name-dropping has been horrendous. We were supporting Paul
McCartney. I worked with Usher! Have met everybody that was around.
Aretha Franklin. I know Tina Turner well. I met Justin Bieber once!
Was with Michael Jackson. I was with Elvis Presley.
Hoping she will be a name worth fighting over, it's teenager
Frances Wood. My name is Frances Wood, I am 18 years of age. I am
from a working class family and I am not afraid to work hard to get
to where I need to be. I work as a bartender to fund my equipment. I
have put songs I have written on to a CD that I sell at the pub.
Everything I do all revolves around my music. The song I am going to be
singing is Where Is The Love, which adds pressure because obviously
Will.i.am is the coach, I have to impress him. I am ready to showcase
it, to hopefully the nation, worldwide. This an opportunity
money can't buy so I have to make it count. I have been told that I
Am living in the clouds, which makes you want it more. She's

Now, for me, I was that close to pressing the button and only when I
heard the "come on Will" I knew there's no point because already
you are singing his song. I didn't think there was anything wrong with
his performance. I think he is going to do fantastic with you.
Maybe leave out the name next time. OK. First off, you know, I am - I
didn't turn around because you song one of our songs, I turned around...
Honestly. The reason I turned around because you have a
great voice. Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to hear a person's voice
when they're singing your song. But I listened to how you reinterpreted
a rap and sung a rap but added your own flavour. Some parts where you
were out of breath, but I would like to work with you on those
parts. That's why I pressed the button. Thank you very much. I
wanted to show you that I can take anything you threw at me. It's
something different. I have stepped out of my comfort zone but I can
Work with anything that's given to Welcome to Team Will.i.am!

I have to celebrate. I know, do. Matt and Sueleen are our first duo
in the competition. As a couple, you would imagine they think as one.
No chance. I am Matt. I am Sueleen. Been together for about... 15 years.
Probably more than that. 16 years we have been together. Long years!
I am going to slap you. We spend the majority of our time
together. We sing all over the house. The bathroom is a very good
one at the moment because of the acoustics. We bring out the best
and worst in each other actually. It's very up and down. When you
have been - tell it like it is, babe.
Is there a particular coach that you would like to turn around?
100% set in stone, we do have different ideas of coaching.
Need to have this conversation. Did have this discussion. Over and
over again. No, I am going to do it. It's going to be down to me. We
will make that choice, but the more you get closer to it the more you
sit and think is that going to be the right decision? Yeah, that's
right it. Having a coach turn around, one,
four, whatever, it's that instant yes you are good, we believe in
what you are doing, we understand who you are. The things that were
dreams before actually you can just reach out and touch them now. You
are actually... they are actually in your grasp. You got to believe

Hello. Hi. Your names are. Matt and Sueleen. I enjoyed. That the
harmonies were very interesting. I just loved how your voices blended.
Thank you. I thought it was brilliant. I love the harm any. I
loved everything about it. It was really, really good. Thank you.
That was a great way to make the song your own. You harmonise great
together that is why you got the two biggest stars in the world.

might do that. We have such different backgrounds, amazing

Jessie J. Here we go. I'm really sorry. Tom gets two for the price
of one and is now half way to a full-time of singers. Next up is a
16-year-old who is not afraid to be different. Can her voice stand out
as much as her image. My name is Holly Cosgrove. I'm not an average
16-year-old. I have matured a lot faster than orchids my age. I
started doing gigs and talent contests from the age of ten and
working my way up the ladder in the showbiz industry. When my friends
are out on Friday and Saturday nights partying I'm working. I feel
that now is the right time for me to showcase my talent to the world.
You look amazing. Thank you. I like to make myself stand out from the
crowd. It's not going to help you today? It's part of my act. I'm
going to have to rely on my vocals for this. When they turn around it
will be a nice surprise. Nice thing to add to it. Exactly. I don't
think anything can quite compare to this. This is bigger than anything
I've ever done in the past. This is what I want to do. This is where I
Want to be. I will do everything I # We're going to sing this now.

Hello. Hello. That was amaze... amazing. What is your name? Holly
Cosgrove. I didn't turn around. I didn't hear enough control and
dictation. I enjoyed it. I know Ed will love that version. Thank you
very much, thank you so much. Looking at Jessie I was, is she
going to get the high note. I was 90% there. You took me to the
mountain but I didn't see the view. That was the one reason why I
didn't press my button. Thank you. Thank you. Not every singer is
supposed to hit a high note or sing like Aretha Franklin. There are
people like Bob Dillon. You need have confidence in your voice.
Michael Jackson didn't have perfect diction. She said "com... On". That
same kof dense you put into your fit you need wear it. How old are
you? I'm 16.
Listen, you can rewind it again... You have... If I could rewind that
performance again there was a lot that I would do differently. That
was in the past. That hasn't stopped us getting back on and
being here today much I don't think this will stop you either.
Wouldn't be able to do that when I was 16. Thank you very much.
Oh, dear. 16. Mad. I wish they'd known how old I was they seemed
wanting to put me through at that point. So frustrating. That is the
way it goes. I'm come back next year. You haven't seen the last of
me. Holly it will be second time lucky. Keen to get her second shot
at the fame game is our next artist. If you remember the '80s, you'll
definitely remember this next artist. My name is Deniece Pearson,
I'm 43, I'm a singer and entertainer. When I was 15 my
father put me in a group with my brother and sisters. We were called
Five Star. We were dubbed the British Jackson Five.

It went so fast. It was a brilliant ride. It's amazing to me to be back
here. You had huge success with Five Star. Is that something that
you want again? Absolutely. Now, now, now. How do you feel about her
going out on her own? I support everything that she wants to do. My
whole family does. That is pretty much why I'm here really to give
her moral support. She's my baby sister. I would love to achieve the
same same amount of success I did with Five Star. I would like to go
Bigger. That is my challenge. That is my dream.

Yeah. Where are you from. What is
your back story. My name is Deniece Pearson from a group from the '80s
called Five Star. I sang with my brothers and sisters. You didn't
lose it anyway. That is for sure. I think you are fantastic. It's so
tough singing a song like that. In the beginning it was too many
tricks and thrills. I'm not one to talk... The way you laugh so quick.
She's a referee. To many rips. Right, guys, pick on the young girl.
I can straighten that out though. Thank you. Yes, I can. No, because
you know how to do all that stuff. The thing that hit me, more than
anything else, was the tone and the power and you cut. You dig into it.
I'm looking forward to having you on my team. Thank you very much.
You have the legend, Tom Jones,
After a five star performance, Deniece becomes Tom's sixth artist.
I've got six. I've got six. Sounds like "sex Bomb". That sounds
good that. I'm trigger happy here. The talent is so great. I'll press
The trigger whenever I feel it's appropriate. Perhaps our final
vocalist and fellow Welshman might become lucky number seven for Tom.
My name is David Faulkner, I work on a construction sight. I started
singing when I was about 20/21. Through school I didn't sing
because it wasn't cool to be a singer. Most of the guys on site
haven't seen me perform. When I tell them that I can sing, they
can't believe it. I didn't hear him sing for around two or three years
in the relationship. He would go to his bedroom and shut the door.
A shy person. I'm not outgoing. When I'm singing, it sends me
somewhere else. I haven't done an audition like this before. It is
important to me to be doing this as a day job would be amazing. It's a

Wow, wow. I have to wait for this place to calm
down. That out of the box was incredible. Absolutely. All I got
to say is, I turned around in the first bar of that song because I
could hear from the get-go that you have what it takes to win this
competition. You are incredible.
It's just a privilege all four of you turned around and believed in
my voice, you know. First of all, we Welsh people have to stick
together. Get the violins out. Have a great voice and that's what
this show is all about. You are selling it well, as well. As I said,
we got to stick together, so... Spectacular voice, I have worked
with a lot of people in my life and I know to do with an artist like
you, I know how to couple it with great music. I would love to have
you on my team. Thanks. Hello. Hello. The music came in and I was
like please, please, have amazing vocals and you did. You are the
reason that I came on this show, to find people that can sing! Yeah.
What I do know is if you are on my team I am going to make you work
that voice. Yes! Come on then, which one are you
Going to choose? I have... You say Danny, that's what you say. What do
you reckon guys? I admire all four of you massively.
I am going to go with... Jessie. Hello! That's what I do.
He picked me! A ladies' man. That's all it is, of
course. That was insanely good. Do you realise that? Just feels
bonkers, to be honest with you. Can't believe it. Haven't sunk in
quite yet. It's been another amazing round of
auditions and the coaches have battled hard to claim their artists.
We have a mission and that's to take her singers out and win.
Is how the teams of ten look now. Tom secured three more singers and
has six. Will landed two more and has a total of three. My team right
now is pretty fresh. Jessie snapped up two more and has five of her ten
vocalists. Danny picked up another three artists and has four
altogether. I am pretty much the team to watch now. Next week in the
blind auditions, the spectacular singing continues. Now is the time
for me to push singing to the forefront of my life. This
competition is quite scary. Coaches clash.
