It's all on the strength of the voice.
It's uniquely about talent. It's about nothing else.
It's not like a traditional karaoke talent show.
It's not about what you look like or the package or your story.
It's about there and then in the moment.
Can you sing or can't you sing?
And if they can, I'll be the one to tell them so.
Welcome to The Voice. A singing competition unlike any other.
Because it puts vocal ability first.
Tonight, four of the most influential names in all of music

Give it up for our coaches.
will.i.am!
Danny O'Donoghue.
Jessie J. And Sir Tom Jones.
Wow! Now that is how you do it.
And this is how we would do it.
♪ And it goes like this. ♪
'Tonight, the coaches begin their search to find The Voice.
'They'll each choose a team of ten singers from a select group of the UK's best artists
'who have been invited to audition for our coaches.
'But, it won't be easy, because the coaches will have their backs to the artists, as they sing.'
'Our chairs are facing away from the stage, so we have no idea what's going on behind us.'
We are blind. This is all about the voice.
'How an artist looks...'
I've got more of a face for radio.
'..Their size...'
Too short. Too fat.
'..Their age...' I'm 47. In the music business,
that's pushing it. 'None of that matters!'
That's what's amazing.
'Only the voice counts.'
This is how the show works.
When a coach likes what they hear, they hit a button.
Which turns their chair. And that artist wins a place on their team.
I can't wait to work with you.
I'm the one who can't wait to work with you.
Yeah!
However, if more than one chair turns, the power shifts,
and the artist can decide which coach they'd most like to work with.
You know we want you. Who do you want?
The coaches need to do everything in their power to persuade the artist to join their team.
It's fisticuffs at dawn. Pick me!
Come on!
'But, if no coach turns, the artist is out of the competition.'
What I need to stress, when we don't turn around,
it's not because you're not a great singer, you are.
It's just that we only get to pick ten.
'Each coach wants to discover the one artist who will win it all.
'A record deal with Universal Music, and the chance to be named The Voice.'
The potential that this could change my life is huge.
'This is their moment.'
'It's now or never.'
The blind auditions start now.
Our talent scouts have invited the nation's most gifted vocalists to the blind auditions.
And, as our artists begin to arrive from up and down the country,
the anticipation is building.
17-year-old Belfast schoolgirl Jessica Hammond is hoping
to swap teenage dreams for musical reality.
Songwriting's always been kind of a way out for me.
There's been a few incidences where I was getting picked on.
I'd always come home and play my guitar.
I used to say to her, "Jess, write down what you are worried about,
"and then we'll read over it."
So, now, she writes lyrics about it, and turns it into a positive.
'In my bedroom, I'm a superstar. And people are listening to me.'
And I just imagine the raindrops on the windows, they're clapping for me. And I don't feel alone.
'I've chosen to sin Jesse J, Price Tag.
'Whenever it's a cover, you have to really look in and do your research,
'and think about the kind of message of the song, and what you're trying to say to people.'
I definitely will put my heart and soul into this.
And hopefully she likes it.

What's your name?
Mary Jessica Hammond.
How old are you? 17.
So, I would like to work with you.
The way I work with Macy and Michael Jackson, and...
He just drops it in there, the name. I'll give it up to you, if you want.
So, I would like to have you on my team.
We need to make an album, and we need to put it out to where it's big, in the UK, America, Brazil,
Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina...
Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Ireland.
He's like a lobster, giving it all that!
I'm telling you, you need to come here, babes!
Do you want to put your guitar down? It's stuck to me. Hold on.
I'll be your roadie. I'll hold it for you.
I will be your producer and your roadie. Thank you. AUDIENCE LAUGHS
I don't mind carrying the guitar.
I want to talk to you as if I was you when I was 17.
There's things in your voice that remind me of me.
I'm not going to sit here as Will said, and go, "You're going to do this,"
because I don't surround myself with yes men. You need...
I'm being serious.
That wasn't a yes man. Wait, wait, wait!
No, no. She's blowing me up. Do you mind if I do something with your guitar? Let me talk.
I can understand where you're coming from. You're a female, you're young.
You don't understand how amazing it is for me to sit here
and have someone like yourself sing one of my songs.
What I will say is, number ones, albums, touring, all that stuff is a bonus, yeah?
Music is where it should stem from, and that's something me and you could enjoy.
I can't compete with that. You can, you're Sir Tom Jones. What I can compete with is this.
This show is called The Voice, right?
And the thing we have to concentrate on, if you come with me,
is picking the right songs in order to win this thing.
And I feel I can help you with that. So, here I am, babe.
I understand guitar playing and singing, something I've done since I was your age, even before.
And I really feel the musicianship coming from you.
I think we would work incredibly together. I really do.
You've got four coaches - you've got only one decision.
That's the beautiful part of the show, you've got artistic control.
I really hope you make the right decision and come with me.
Um, Will...
Ssssh. Let her decide!
I appreciate everything you said.
Um, I'm a songwriter, I'm only 17 and from Belfast.
Number one hits don't matter to me,
making music and sharing my message is what matters to me.
Beautiful, beautiful.
Um...
I'm going to go with Jessie.
♪ It's not about the money, money, money
♪ We don't need your money, money, money
♪ We just want to make the world... ♪
It's fine, it's fine.
I can't wait to work with you.
I thought it was gorgeous when Jessie picked Jessie, you're coming out against a Jessie J song,
you know, I'm in for the pitch, she's Irish as well,
so I might've been in there but, ah well, didn't work.
She's so good!
While Jessica takes her first step into the spotlight,
some of our artists have already tasted fame.
A decade ago, 30-year-old Sean Conlon was at the top of the game.
Now he's hoping his voice will give him a second chance to shine.
Hello, Sean. How are you doing?
Good to see you again, shall I say. Could you explain why we've met before, please?
I was in a band called Five.
♪ Get on up, when you're down
♪ Baby, take a good look around... ♪
It was kind of instant success, overnight.
We got a Brit Award. We played with Brian May,
he was playing his guitar...
That was pretty mad.
Obviously the band broke up, but if I remember correctly,
you left first? I remember looking in the mirror and,
I just knew I had to go and find who Sean Conlon was.
I could just see this cartoon character Sean from Five and it just hit me really hard.
I had a gut feeling that I had to walk my own path,
and it was a really big decision at the time.
'I think the fact it's a blind audition really works in my favour.'
Sean from Five doesn't come into it.
If one of the coaches turns round, it's because of my voice.
'It's the consequences of doing what I'm doing that worries me.
'What will the reaction be?'
'I really want this.
'It means everything to me.
'Otherwise I wouldn't take the risk.'

♪ Oh no, I never meant to do you harm. ♪
Thank you.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Ah, so that's it then?
No, it isn't. What's your name? Sean Conlon. Sean Conlon?
Yeah, I used to be in a boy band many years ago - about ten years ago...
Yeah, you look really familiar. Five.
Five!
You were the first concert I ever saw.
Really? Five! Thank you.
For one, thank you for singing for us, it was a wonderful song.
It sounded like you were blending in with the band instead of leading it.
Yeah. For a person that's stepping out of a group to go solo,
and you were in a group and you're trying to go solo. You want to be the maestro.
Take the reins and conduct.
I kind of disagree, I really enjoyed it and the only reason I didn't turn around is I was thinking,
"What can I do for you?"
Your voice to me is beautiful how it is and I...
I would happily listen to you like, at home, all day cos your voice is... Really? Yeah!
It completely chilled me out. Thank you.
Darling, nice to meet you. Cheers.
Nice to meet you, amazing voice, seriously. Yeah? Yeah.
Well done, well done. Not to be. Pretty gutted.
I would've loved to have gone on but it's not to be.
Today was definitely a step in the right direction.
For sure, yeah. Ten years away, you know, you just come back
and it wasn't a small stage, yeah?
Pretty big one! Yeah.
Nothing like putting yourself in the lion's den.
I did it and who knows what the future's going to bring, eh?
Something good though, Reggie!
Phew, just take me heart out... and throw it on the ground.
Yeah, it's hard to know what to say to a person like that, isn't it?
Sean's voice wasn't enough to get the coaches turning, but with
a standard so high what exactly will it take to push their buttons?
I've always been into tone, and technique and breathing.
I want to hear someone's personality in their singing.
Rock, folk, country, whatever,
doesn't matter, man, it's all in.
I'm just looking for someone that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Doesn't necessarily have to have vocal gymnastics...
♪ Ooh-ooh! ♪ I'm not looking for that.
I'm looking for... just uniqueness.
I like to listen to raw talent.
As far as I'm concerned, you have a voice or you don't.
And that's from a man who knows.
Keen to prove that he has a voice worth listening to
is 20 year-old Brummie Samuel Buttery.
I am Samuel Buttery, I'm 20.
I'd describe myself as being relatively happy,
quite jolly but that's what people usually use for the word "fat", don't they?
"He was jolly."
I have never entered anything like this before
but the fact that it is about the voice appeals to me.
If the coaches saw me beforehand, they might get a totally different impression of my voice cos...
I might be wrong, but I don't think my voice necessarily matches... me.
Tom Jones is like a massive icon to me.
When I was in primary school,
I used to sing: ♪ What's new pussycat... ♪
And no-one liked it really.
I think I'm ready.
Is this family Buttery? Yes, this is the family Buttery.
I'll take some credit for that! >
This is my dad, Mark. Hello. Hello, nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you.
My little sister, Beth. Hi!
And this is my best friend Grace. Hello.
Who do you want to turn around?
They're all like phenomenal, and I would like, obviously, anyone. Amazing!
But Tom Jones I think is the one that I'd like to impress.
Well, good luck. Thank you very much.
I think you're fabulous already. Oh, thank you.
Through that door are four of the biggest artists in the world...

Ohhh!
Sorry, I'm a bit hysterical!
What's your name?
My name's Samuel Buttery.
And I'm... I'm 20.
I am really, really happy you turned round.
What brings you to The Voice?
I loved the sound of the programme because it is all about the voice
and, I don't think I'm necessarily the package like, J-Lo or Beyonce!
Aw!
Yeah, but I'm still fabulous but just not J-Lo or Beyonce!
But it brought me to The Voice because I just wanted to sing and I really...
and it's just amazing.
Oh! I've been singing and listening to Tom for...
Sir Tom! I'll just do a little...
I am just so happy you turned around.
I am not going to lie, I was really surprised when I turned around.
Honestly, I was expecting to see a female.
Really... Really. Me too. Me too.
But again, people have made that mistake about my own voice too.
Look, I think you are in great hands you have a very strong, powerful voice.
Who better to pair you up with than the legend himself. Fantastic.
I heard a bit of me there, to be honest with you.
You've inspired me a lot, so that's probably why.
There you go, I really did, there were a few notes in there that sounded like me.
Sounds like me in my head anyway.
You've got a great voice. Thank you. I think we'll work really good together.
So do I.
Come down, come down.
Lovely to see you. Thank you.
Don't worry, good luck.
Ah!
Well done, son.
'You can see, I don't really know what to say.'
That is who I wanted to turn round and he's Sir Tom for a reason.
Congratulations. Thank you. Amazing.
Swear to God, I thought it was a girl. Me too.
I turned around and I was like... Really?! I thought it was a girl.
Really?! Yeah.
Didn't sound like a girl to me. Do I sound like a girl? No, not at all!
Oh. You're the manliest sounding man I know!
♪ You don't have to be beautiful... ♪
So, Samuel is the first addition to Team Tom,
and as the other coaches are realising, going up
against music's equivalent of Muhammad Ali won't be an easy fight.
I'm afraid of Tom Jones. Number one, 1965, by the way!
That dude has knowledge! What?!
'65, '66, '67, '68, '69!
I slackened off a bit in 1970, but hey!
Out of the 150 years of experience that you have on stage,
I think a lot of that belongs to him.
I think most people know that I've been around a long time.
I think I've sung with most people. Aretha Franklin, for instance.
Yeah.
Can we have our fun? No!
I sang with Frank Sinatra and Janis Joplin.
Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, I mean the list goes on and on,
so if I can put that to good use, then I will.
It's the truth! Wow, that's Tom Jones right there.
I want to do a song with him. Oh, that's right,
we're here for The Voice. I'm competing against him!
And ready to compete for her place on one of the coach's teams
is 34-year-old Toni Warne, who's been waiting years to be
judged on her voice and not her appearance.
My name is Toni. I'm 34 and I work in a bank in Great Yarmouth.
I've always gigged. Bars, pubs, clubs, cabaret,
that was pretty much my work.
I've suffered with alopecia since I was a young girl.
But then at 21, I lost all my hair completely.
And it had quite an impact... on me.
You sort of... You sort of lose confidence.
There's no question about it.
I didn't think that I could gig the way that I am.
And I got a 9-to-5 job.
£197. Did you pay some money in, did you?
So, what's different about now? This feels right,
because it's called The Voice. It's not about having to cover up.
Just to be herself, I know that she will feel comfortable with that.
Especially the fact that she's not going to feel judged
with the way she looks initially.
She's going to go out, she's going to sing amazing,
and then they're going to turn around, and be knocked out.
It's time now to sing, and if they turn their chairs around,
of course it would be the most amazing possible thing.
I'm looking forward to walking on stage
and being me for the first time ever, really.
It feels good.

Before I ask your name and why you're so amazing, YOU!
And little tactics! You see him? "You should press the button".
And then I turned around, and there you both are! Hello, Jessie! Hello!
We were waiting for you. Ladies first! You pushed your button,
it's fine!
What's your name? Toni. Toni. And what is your inspiration, Toni?
I sung for a living but I'd suffered with alopecia
since I was little girl, but I lost all of my hair.
And it really just knocked the stuffing out of me, really,
you know, and I felt that I couldn't pursue what was in my heart
because I didn't believe in myself.
The last couple of years, I've had two beautiful,
beautiful children and, sort of, you realise that life is short,
you know, and music is my absolute passion beyond passion.
I'm blown away.
I thought, you have an old soul. You know, as I was listening,
I could tell you'd been through something,
been through pain, you'd been through the wars.
And that's what really moved me, emotionally, to hit my button.
But if you pick me, honestly, I will fight to the death for you,
because I think you're fantastic. You're amazing.
Your tone is so old school, that I feel like you could
teach me something.
And I love the fact that you didn't go ♪ Woooahhhhh! ♪
Right at the beginning, you went and let it grow,
and that was what may be fall in love with your voice,
so please, please, let's hang out and make music and have fun.
Thank you, Jessie.
You are what I call a real singer, you know?
I mean, you are a real, REAL singer.
You sound fantastic!
I'm just overcome. I can't tell you how overwhelmed I am.
This is just unbelievable. You deserve it. Thank you.
You deserve it. You really deserve it. Really.
Hey, look, you've got creative control, this is all up to you.
Just know the right person is over here, he's Irish!
Four years ago, somebody said to me, "Check this out, Toni, listen,
"you're not going to believe what you hear," and I heard Jessie J
for the first time and I'm telling you, Jessie,
I would love to choose you.
I'm so excited!
I said I wouldn't cry.
Come here, Toni.
Well done.
Toni's voice takes her to the next stage
of the competition as part of Team Jessie.
And while Toni's success sinks in, indie guitarist Adam Isaac
is arriving, hoping that he too will strike a chord with the coaches.
I'm Adam. I'm 28 years old.
I've lived and breathed music for the last ten years of my life.
♪ Dreaming of another world. ♪
I've always done OK around my little gig circuit that I played for years,
but this is the first time I put myself out there on this scale.
I have got a fear of failure,
which has stopped me from going for something like this before.
While Adam gets ready to face his fears head-on,
our next artist can't wait to hit the stage.
Again.
I spent a lot of years doing backing singing.
I sang for people like Puff Daddy, R Kelly.
And then when I had my children, I stopped. Now, it's mummy time!
What am I going to be? A rocket star. Yay!
You guys seem to have some pretty strong support,
so who do we have with you today? Here's my mum, Tricia. My bestie!
This is my beautiful daughter, Tian. And this is Talia!
Can I hold Talia, please? Go-ahead!
You're lovely. Hello, gorgeous.
OK, well, you've got four amazing coaches sat in front of you
when you finally get on that stage.
What have you done to prepare for the show?
I got my daughter and my auntie and I made them sit
in the living room facing backwards.
I was like, "Don't turn around, until you feel it!"
And if you turn around before, no dinner for you!
OK, well, good luck. Thank you. I can't wait to see you on stage.
Thank you, I can't wait! And see you soon as well, all right?
I'm glad that they're not going to see me straight away.
I like the way I look.
But, you know, it's just being a big girl,
you always get put in this box.
I am about to go out there
and sing like it's my last performance.
For me and my girls,
this could be the first step to a really big change.
So, yeah, this is big, this is big.

So... Hey! How are you doin'? I believe you have a beautiful voice,
but you just need to learn to control it.
It kind of splinters all over the place, a bit. Thank you.
But you have a powerful, beautiful voice. Thank you. Hello, darlin'. Hello.
Can I start by saying "yes" to the purple hair?
Hello, hair!
Team Purple!
A-ha! I didn't turn around, not because I don't think you have
an amazing voice - I think you do...
but I think you're vibrato. I don't know if it was nerves,
but I thought it could just chill out.
But I think you and Tom are going to have a wild time. Yeah.
Very excited! Oh, yeah?! Yeah, baby!
I loved your vibrato.
I think it's spot on. You give it the full Monty
and I'm looking forward to working with you and having you on my team.
Thank you.
Let's start the way we're going to continue.
Give us a kiss, sweetheart.
Thank you so much. You've made my dreams come true.
♪ You make me feel like... ♪
'With a mentor like Tom Jones, '
I think the sky is the limit, so I'm so ready for whatever he's got.
I'm like a sponge, ready to soak it all up, so you'll see more
of all this!
So Aundrea got the result she wanted, but the enormity
of the competition is weighing heavy on Adam's mind,
as he heads to the stage.
'Taking part in The Voice is a really big thing for me,
'because I am being judged'
on the thing I love to do.
'My biggest fear is to get a "no".'

So, what's your name? My name's Adam Isaac.
That was a great performance.
It was a really great performance.
I hope you take that through the next stages, after two of the biggest artists in the world
turned around to you, fantastic. Thank you very much.
You have a great voice. You remind me
of cats that I hang out with at home,
that just love and eat music.
Your voice is warm.
It seems like star quality...
the kind of voice you hear when you are in a restaurant
and your girl's telling you something and you totally ignore
everything she's saying,
because the song's playing in the background.
As far as I'm concerned,
I've sung with a lot of people and recorded a lot of different kinds of song.
I need somebody with a strong voice,
because we're going to have a lot of different kinds of songs to do...
when we win this.
It's creative control at this stage. It's down to you now.
This is one of the toughest decisions I've had to make - ever...
in my life.
Can I say one other thing?
I was with Elvis Presley in Hawaii...
and I was invited over to his house. When I got in there this day,
Elvis wasn't there, so I said to Priscilla, his wife,
I said, "What happened to Elvis?"
And she said, "He's realised that we don't have guitars here and you are coming over
"and he is very excited about it, so he's gone out to get two guitars."
And Elvis Presley - and this is hand to God - walked into a music shop
and told the girl behind the counter, "I've got Tom Jones coming over to my house today
"and I need two guitars." The girl fainted.
Anyway, he got the two guitars
and he came back to the house and we played and sang together all day.
So, I know when I hear somebody singing like that and playing like that.
If you want experience, you're looking right at it.
Wait a second. Can I say one more thing?
There was one time I was living in Ireland, with Michael Jackson,
and we were recording...
This is why I didn't turn around, cos I can't compete!
I met Justin Bieber once! Woo! I was making this track, right,
and the beat was real mellow and he said,
"I want you to make the beat a little louder. It's too slow." So I was, like,
"You want it harder, Mike?" "Yes, if you could make the beat a little more aggressive.
"I want a tasty beat, a beat that when people hear it, they just want to eat it."
So... yeah, that was my little thing.
OK.
Thank you very much, both of you.
It's amazing.
I think...will.i.am.
No, hang on, right?
I was going to say, will.i.am,
I'd like to say, that I have much respect for what you do.
I jumped the gun! You're amazing...
That's classic! ..But I'd like to go with the legend that is Tom Jones.
♪ A little less conversation
♪ A little more action, please
♪ All this aggravation ain't satisfying me. ♪
Na-na-na-na-na-nah!
'And the winner is... Tom Jones!'
That was good.
Still to come on The Voice tonight...
an internet sensation... I've had over one million hits,
which is quite substantial in the YouTube scene.
A Strictly star... Last year, I stood in for one of the singers on Strictly Come Dancing.
And the coaches go all out to get what they want...
Temper, temper! Oooh!
Come on!! I remember the first time we had success. And the second time, the third time, the fourth time.
Eugh! Where I come from, I'm known as "The Voice".
Coaches! As a great man once said, where is the love? It would appear
there is no love lost between our next hopefuls - boyfriend and girlfriend, Max and Twinnielee.
My name is Max Milner, I'm 20 and I'm a singer-songwriter.
'I just love writing. Singing music's my passion.
I'm Twinnielee Moore, I'm 24 and I'm a performer.
'I've never been that confident as a singer, but this is always what'
I've wanted to do.
So are you two auditioning together?
No. No. No. Separate artists.
Have you thought about that horrible situation, if one goes through and one of you doesn't? Yeah, yeah.
But I would obviously be massively happy for Twin if she got through, even if I didn't.
I'm still going to be 100% behind her.
I just love her so much. She's brilliant.
♪ Why do birds... ♪
I will be nervous to watch Max. He's amazing, he's brilliant.
I'm incredibly proud of him.
My girlfriend's obviously going to be supporting me, as I will her.
I didn't tell anyone that I applied.
Not even my boyfriend.
I didn't know that she was applying. It's just an opportunity that you can't turn down.
It was a bit of a shock. She was speaking to me like it was my thing.
Then, all of a sudden, it was ours.
I suppose it's because I wanted to do something for me.
It's cool. I like it. I'm excited.
I think we're going to be there for each other. I'd always be there for her.
Obviously, I want to be there for him, but I don't know whether I can.
Like you say, we've entered the competition separately.

Wow!
Phew. Hi! Well done! Thank you.
I forgot to push my button, didn't I?
That was great, anyway. What's your name? Max Milner. Max.
What I loved was you got those two songs together and mashed them in. You've made them yours.
To be honest, I didn't know what to expect when I turned around. I was so glad you were there with
the amp, the guitar, just like you walked in off the street. And I think you're great.
Thanks a lot. Cheers. Thanks.
I think you're someone very special and I think that what you did with
the two songs was very, very interesting and that's what having a voice is all about.
It's about exploring things. That's why I would want you on my team, to make sure we can do that more.
Max, you don't just have a voice...
You're an artist.
It's different. I worked with Macy Gray before she was big.
She toured like this in LA, with her band.
He dropped another name over here!
It's not a name drop.
Macy Gray was signed to my label. That's not a name drop, I'm just saying I know artists.
And you belong with somebody that can take you that p-lace, up in s-pace.
I've got to say, for me, coming from a fellow guitar player.
I'm doing anything I can here! Do you have any Irish in your family?
No! Can I just say,
I'm an artist out right now. Does that count as anything interesting?
I know how it is "right now"!
Eugh! I didn't know Macy Gray before she got big.
But we did do a gig together a couple of weeks ago in Brazil.
You can tell that there's going to be a feeding frenzy over you,
but now it's your choice, to see whose team you want to be on.
Come on!!
I...I know who I'm going with.
I'm going to go with this person because
I think they're very similar to me.
So I'm going to go with Danny.
Yeah!
Oh! Come here.
Give it up, come on!
Smokin'!
Oh, that made my whole day, that did.
A-ha! - Yeah!
I'm so proud of you!
That was a tough decision to me. How did you choose?
I just feel as if we were very... I don't know, I think we'll get on very well. Yeah. I'm excited.
Max picked me,
even though Will was dropping names left, right and centre.
I think he picked the wrong choice only because
I think he picked a choice based on what he's comfortable with.
Comfort isn't always the best thing.
You could be comfortable in hell,
you could find a cosy spot next to a hot rock.
Don't mean it's the place to be.
You're done. Yes. Twinnielee's not, however. Good luck, sweetheart. Oh!
Find out if Twinnielee can match the success of her boyfriend, Max, soon.
But first Ben Kelly is dressed and dicky-bowed to impress
but on our stage, only his voice can do that.
♪ I'm just waiting for my chance to come. ♪
My name is Ben, I'm 22 years old
and I come from a place called Derry in Northern Ireland.
You know, a lot of people there have traditional, real jobs
and it took a long time for my parents to realise what I actually wanted to do
and even longer to accept that I want to be a pop star.
Probably about two years ago I started putting
all these covers on YouTube.
In that time I've had over a million hits which is quite substantial if you're on the YouTube scene.
'But The Voice offers me what I need next which is the recording contract and that's what I really need.'
Opportunities don't come along like this very often, I must admit.
I am trying to prove to myself, to my family, to everyone knows me
that I'm doing the right thing, I'm on the right path.

What's your name? My name is Ben Kelly.
The reason why I turned around - FIRST,
and I was trying to disguise my turnaround
but then Danny got hip to my moves!
Hey, I had my eyes closed, I had my eyes closed.
I went off the feeling. Sorry, continue. Lies!
I can tell that you're singing for something.
You're not just singing cos you have a great voice.
I can tell that there's passion and you have a vision of where you want to go
and music is the vehicle to get you there.
Hi.
Hello. As soon as I heard you sing, I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I sat forward like this and I was, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was kind of imagining what you'd look like
and when I turned around it was all or more than I thought it was going to be.
Your licks are mad clean, your tone is there. Your range is there.
You're a risk taker and that's what I look for in vocalists.
I know a star when I see one. Seriously, you're an absolute...
Out of the box, out of the box. We can say that we want to work on stuff with this guy
but this guy is the finished article right now.
Then what's the point in him being on your team?
In fairness...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. To that point there,
we could dream together, toward the things we come up with...
We can go and eat together!
Hold on, wait, let me finish.
Really, interrupting, seriously? Are we interrupting, seriously?
The things that we could dream together will be taught
in the future to other people and she's going to be teaching
the style that we dream up to somebody else, right?
That's all I'm saying. Can I also say I could teach you how
to put out a record worldwide and it be successful?
One second, please. One second.
False information coming from the second chair.
If we're going there, I can do it consecutively in every country on the planet.
I don't want to pull that out, but... hello.
You know, I know everybody wants you on their team
but what I have to say is where I come from,
I am known as "The Voice". You know what I'm saying?
And this show is called The Voice so you come on my team, right?
And we can win this.
The best part about this is you have the artistic control.
You get the chance here to pick any of us.
I want someone who can help my voice progress.
Someone who can help me with my songwriting which I do a lot of.
Someone who can help me pursue the creative person I want to be.
And... the boys are great but I think this girl's for me.
Yeah! Thank you. Thank you so much. Don't worry. I know, I know.
Come on, let's go and high-five them together. Yeah, yeah.
In your face! Thank you. It's an honour.
Oh, in-your-face. All right, all right, all right!
One more, one more. Oh! No, well done. Congratulations.
We love you, Jessie!
I think he didn't really know what he was doing.
I think he was faced with the batting lashes
and he went straight for it. That's the problem, it's like a black hole.
He'll get sucked in, he won't come back out again.
It was such a great moment.
The kind of moment I've been dreaming of my whole life.
The kind of moment I've always wanted and it did feel like a dream.
Ben, did that really just happen? I don't know, you tell me!
It felt pretty cool to be picked over the other three coaches.
Female power.
So Jessie's on a roll bagging her third team member.
♪ Back to reality... ♪
Earlier Max Milner became the first member of Team Danny.
So I'm going to go with Danny. Yeah!
But can his girlfriend, performer and dancer Twinnielee, match his success?
Especially when she knows looks count for nothing in a blind audition.
This is what I've always dreamt of.
In my industry, everything's kind of based on what you look like.
I'm quite excited for them just to hear my voice. And only my voice.

I knew I should've pressed the button. What's your name?
Twinnielee Moore.
Personally I didn't press my button
just because I thought you were quite pitchy in places. Yeah.
I do think a lot of it was nerves, to be honest.
I felt like you didn't open up as much as I felt you could've done.
You need to own it. You know, you sang it really well.
But I didn't feel it. I didn't feel like you got inside it and...
You know, and made it your own. Nice, though.
Thank you. Cheers.
I felt it. Oh, it's all right.
I mean, I think my main focus was kind of on it all
so I probably should start focusing more on my singing
and I just totally agree with what they said.
Yeah, and everything they said was correct so I can't argue with that. It's fine.
You must be so proud of her. Ridiculously. She's amazing.
And now you know what you have to do, you've got to go and win it for her. Absolutely!
With four superstars to impress, you need top talent and big support
so Phil Poole has brought his biggest fan - his Nan.
My name's Phil, I'm 27 and I'm a delivery driver.
That involves driving all around the country.
Thousands of miles here, there and everywhere.
I'll put my own music on and many times I think customers have heard me singing
as I'm pulling up outside warehouses and they can hear me belting something out, yeah!
How good a singer is he then? Brilliant. Do you think he'll do well today? He's been brilliant.
Since he were at school, ain't you? OK, if you say so!
How close are you guys? I'm so proud of him.
What makes you so proud of him?
Well, he's loving. Ain't ya?
How well do you think he'll do? Good, I hope.
Keep my fingers crossed. I'll do me best for ya.
'I do feel a bit of a fish out of water, I suppose.
'I've never auditioned for anything before,
'I've never put myself out there on such a scale.'
'I'm a delivery driver at the moment, but if I get a yes,'
there's going to be a chance to really take something forward
with singing, achieve something with it.
I'm not sure I've ever been this nervous before in my life.

Thank you for singing for us,
and I didn't press my button because I wanted Danny to press his button.
Throws the blame over here again.
Seriously, I was like, "Danny, hit it, this guy is amazing,
"you could really help him to make your team a better team."
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, we toured with Train over in America,
and I've heard that version and Pat Monahan singing it every night,
and he goes hell-for-leather on it with the emotion.
I was looking for that fire in my belly, and I didn't hear it.
Not to say it wasn't a great performance, it was,
but not enough for me to finally hit my button.
When you try to do a song like that, that is so well-known,
that you have to take it somewhere else.
I mean, you have the voice for it,
there's nothing wrong with your voice.
That means a lot. You just need to take it to another place.
Thank you for coming along, it was great.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
It's OK.
Amazing. It was amazing.
As long as these people are proud of me, that's what matters to me.
Hey, come on. As long as I did you proud.
I know you done me proud, darling.
With one performance left to go, Tom, Jessie
and Danny's teams are taking shape.
But Will has yet to secure his first artist.
I'm not annoyed. I have a strategy
with what I'm doing here. Mwa-ha-ha!
Could our next artist become part of Will's masterplan?
My name's J Marie Cooper, I'm 27 years old.
Music's a huge part of my life.
My mum always heard me singing, so she decided to send me
to Saturday classes, because she realised how much I enjoyed it.
My mother passed away four years ago.
Since then, it's given me a drive to just really go for my career.
I've sang at weddings, birthday parties,
but the work isn't consistent enough, just dribs and drabs.
Last year I stood in for one of the singers on Strictly Come Dancing.
I haven't really done a gig ever as big as that,
so it was exciting for me.
The only sad thing about it was it was only a one-off.
What I really want now, especially without my mum around,
is to build a life for myself.
I'm singing Jessie J, Mama Knows Best for my audition.
I miss my mum, so today's performance will be for her.

Thank you, you're insane. Not insane, insane!
I'm so nervous right now. Why The Voice?
Because I've been trying to do this for 10 years, I'm 27 now.
I love it and I want to share my gift with everyone.
Your voice is re-donk-u-loso. What, re-donk-u-loso?
Re-donk-u-loso. I love it.
I would write songs like that for you all day,
so be on my team, please.
There's lots of singers that can sing and do the runs
and flips and tricks.
Not like that. I come from a gospel family.
I've seen all the flips in the world.
The power, really, was when you weren't flipping.
Bob Marley didn't do flips but you felt his pain.
I felt it from the first couple of notes.
I saw a pain, a love for the craft,
and that's why I turned around and think you're a star of an artist.
For me, you were on fire. Thank you.
I was the last to turn around because I was listening.
I wanted to hear the whole thing. It really was great. Thank you.
You kicked it.
Personally, I thought you killed it. It was amazing.
If you go on Jessie's team, you'd cancel each other out.
- You're that good. I'm just saying! - No!
I think we're very different, the two of us.
I think that would work very well together. Thanks for that.
Oh, gosh!
I'm stuck between you two guys at the moment. I don't know what to do.
I'm just like... Am I number one right now?
Jessie J! Jessie J! This is the voice coming from above.
So, Jessie J, she's hot right now. She is hot right now.
She's hot, current, right now. Oooh!
And that's great. Ooooh!
I remember the first time we had success, and the second time,
third time, fourth time, fifth time, sixth time, seventh time.
The thing that's making me stuck here is the fact you were saying about pain.
I'm not trying to be dramatic or anything like that,
but I like someone that can feel that inner voice.
Believe me, that's why I wrote the song.
Erm...
I think... I'm going to cry if you don't pick me.
Oh, my gosh! This is so hard.
Flip the whole thing on its head and go with Team Dan.
I will fight for you.
Erm, oh, man...
Come on! Come on!
OK, this is probably going to surprise people
but I'm going with Will because he turned round first.
Oh, I really wanted her. It's on, now. Argh!
Temper, temper!
Ooh!
So, after a night of hard-fought competition,
the coaches' battle to build their teams has begun.
Tom has three artists.
Jessie has also secured three.
I didn't start this show thinking I'd be competitive,
but I'm feeling a little burn in my stomach.
Danny has one artist.
Will matches him with one artist.
I already know what I got, and I know what I need.
Then I'm going to get what I want.
Next week, the blind auditions continue.
More incredible artists fight for their place in the competition.
You're going to beat these people.
As the battle to build their teams intensifies,
the coaches go all out to win.
I can do it consecutively in every country on the planet.
I don't want to pull that out, but hello.
Everybody's in it to win it.
Pick me!
