So Voice fans, now that you’ve ohh’d and ahh’d over some good, good times during Episode Two, it’s important to understand what REALLY happened on your lovely screen when you weren’t looking.

Episode 5: The Aftermouth

2013-04-27T19:23:39+00:00

And so ends another round of Blind Auditions (sniff). Once they’d calmed down, we managed to grab a chat with each of this week’s successful artists as they came off stage. And there was A LOT of them this week so let’s get going - here’s what they had to say...

Jamie Bruce was “shellshocked and dazed” after his audition. He chose Tom because he feels that they have similar vocal styles – they’re going to be perfect for each other. Weird fact: Jamie is a fan of cooking shows. “I could watch cookery programmes with Nigel Slater and Rick Stein all day,” he says. And obviously he’s watching The Voice UK too...

Funny man Jordan Lee Davies wanted will.i.am from the start and his dream came true when Will turned for him. AND he’s got a connection with Sir Tom Jones – “Tom Jones danced with my nan,” he says. “I could’ve been Tom’s grandson!” Speaking of dancing, Jordan LOVES to dance so expect more of it in the Battle Rounds. “I trained in dance,” he says. “Stick a song on and I’ll be the one shimmying in the corner.”

“Super, super duper excited” was how Cherelle Basquine (what a name!) was feeling after joining Team Tom. “I got a hug from Tom Jones!” she realised as we spoke to her. “Wait until I tell my grandma!” She’s VERY excited about the Battle Rounds and promises more sparkly outfits from her wardrobe. “Everything in my wardrobe is sparkly and spiky,” she says. “My whole house is made of sparkles.” Wowsers!

Portuguese Ricardo Afonso was still buzzing after his awesome audition. “The adrenaline is still running,” he said. Ricardo became the eighth member of Team Danny and there was confusion when Danny thought Ricardo was a West Ham Supporter. “I said ‘I’m a West End performer’ and Danny thought I said ‘I’m a West Ham supporter’,” Ricardo explains. “I actually support Benfica from Lisbon.” Glad we cleared that up.

Youtube sensation Sean Rumsey and former Hollyoaks actress Alice Barlow also each joined Danny’s clan. Fun fact about Sean – he can cook a mean spaghetti bolognaise. Fun fact about Alice – her mum and dad own alpacas (they're a bit like llamas). Ooooooookkaaaayyyy...

Bubbly duo Nu-Tarna joined Mr i.am’s team. “We’re gonna make him proud,” Kelly Marie promised. “We’re looking forward to finding the Nu-Tarna sound with him.” So, what can we expect from them in the Battle Rounds? “My hair’s been all kind of colours,” Elesha says. “So, I might change it again for the Battles...as long as it doesn’t fall out from all the bleach!” And Kelly Marie has promised lots of hats. “I’m the super hat queen,” she says. “There’s plenty more hats where this one came from!”

Suited and booted Nate James didn’t realise any coaches had turned until he’d finished as he’d had his eyes closed. When he finally opened his eyes, he chose Jessie’s team. So, why Jessie? “I think Jessie will make me work damn hard,” Nate says. Nate looked pretty sharp on stage in his suit and tie (to quote Justin Timberlake) – “I like to look sharp on TV,” he says. “And will.i.am asked me who my tailor was. I think he wants to steal my suit!” Watch out – Sneaky Willie’s about.

Man band De’Vide is made up of Barney and Lex – the boys brought the cool to Team Jessie. They’ve brought their mix of influences and eclectic taste together to make something new. “We’re proud we’re on this ride together,” says Barney. “And I can’t wait to tell my family!” Aww, bless.

Adele tribute Lareena Mitchell wanted Sir Tom to be her coach all along and her wish came true when he pressed his button for her. “I’m feeling on top of the world right now,” she says. She performs as Adele most weekends but has she ever met her? “I’ve never met her,” Lareena says. “My biggest dream would be to meet her. I think she’s amazing.” Well, maybe now she’s seen you on the telly, Lareena...who knows?

Colin Chisholm filled up another spot on Team Tom. He feels like he can learn the most from Tom as he’s “constantly reinventing himself” and, as Colin says, “He’s been the best singer for the decades. In my opinion, he’s got a phenomenal voice.” When he’s not singing, Colin is a keen cook – “Chinese food is the thing I do best.” If anyone wants a takeaway, call Colin.

And finally, Paul Carden became part of Danny’s family of singers. He thought no-one had turned so he was VERY relieved when he saw Danny. Paul may have met Alice Barlow before as he once played a busker on Hollyoaks! “We did a few takes and the actors kept putting money in my hat and not taking it out,” he says. “By the end of the day, I’d made quite a bit of money!”

So, there you have it. Next week it’s the final Blind Auditions and there’s more talent than you can shake a microphone at. Listen to exclusive previews for next Saturday’s show and predict who will make it through with our amazeballs (we’ll never say amazeballs again) Voice Predictor Game online and on mobile.

We’ll see you next Saturday at 8.05pm.

Loveyoubye!

Episode 4: The Aftermouth

2013-04-24T14:43:26+00:00

So, the dust has settled after another dope-mazing episode of Blind Auditions in which we added six more artists to The Voice UK family. We wanted to get to know them a little better so we sat down for a little chinwag with them after they came off-stage. Here’s what we found out...

Singing Scot Sarah Cassidy wowed the coaches with her high notes and joined Jessie J’s team. So, why Jessie? “We’ve both got big voices and I think I could learn so much from her,” Sarah says. “Oh, and I’d LOVE to sing with her.” Before now, Sarah’s been in a girl group and a hip hop group and has already had THREE Top 40 hits. But she says, “This time it’s just me – and that’s really scary!”

Brummie LB Robinson took a risk by singing a song by Tom Jones...to Tom Jones. But it was a risk that paid off as he got the ultimate endorsement when the silver bear himself turned for him. Funnily enough, a friend at work encouraged LB to apply and now he’s really glad he did.

Laura Oakes won a place with Mr Danny O’Donoghue. Her whole family came with her to her audition and got...pretty emotional. Weird facts about Laura: if she wasn’t a singer, she’d be an archaeologist and she’s scared of...BUBBLES!

Operatic duo Carla & Barbara won a place on will.i.am’s team when he turned after one note! “We opened our mouths and he turned immediately,” Carla said. “I welled up. I didn’t know if I could finish the song.” The duo are already getting the nickname Carbara – but what do they think of it? “It sounds like a car engine!” Carla says. “But we like it.”

Karl Michael had his pick of all four coaches after doing his own take on ‘No More I Love Yous’. He picked Danny – so why did he go with Dan The Man? “I feel like I’d learn most from Danny in the kind of music I do,” Karl says. Karl is a big film fan and says movies have a big influence on his songwriting. So, what’s his favourite film? “Probably Gladiator,” he says. “Or Closer...No, Fight Club...” We’ll leave him deciding.

So, that was last week’s episode. There’s only TWO MORE Blind Audition shows left (sad face) and there’s plenty more insanely good singers to come. Make sure you’re watching this Saturday at 8.05pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.

And don’t forget you can get a little sneaky peeky at this Saturday’s singers by playing The Voice Predictor Game now online or on mobile. Not only that, but you can play along with the show on the night so we’ll see you there.

Have a nice week now!

Episode 3: The Aftermouth

2013-04-13T18:11:39+00:00

Phew, what an epic episode, or "epic-sode" if you will, this week’s show was. You can relive all the action (and get some exclusive extra stuff) by watching this week’s The Voice Louder:

So, who joined the good ship Voice this week?

Former member of girlband Cleopatra (remember them?) Cleo Higgins got, like, the fastest chair turn EVER with Jessie pressing her button after three seconds.“I couldn’t believe I got a coach after 1 note!” Cleo says. Cleo chose to join Team Will – so why Mr i.am? “I’ve got so much to give," she said, "I’m creative and I’m a mental musician and I’d love to work with someone with that same energy which will.i.am has.” Aside from a successful singing career, Cleo also dreams of opening a cake shop – “I want to call it Love Muffins.” You heard it here first, people: you'll soon be able to take a bite out of Cleo's Love Muffins.

Rocker Mitchel Emms moshed his way to a place on Danny’s team. Mitchel doesn’t only have an amazing voice – he also plays guitar, bass, drums and keyboard. And that’s not all – “I’ve just finished my own album from my bedroom” Mitchel says. He sings, he plays, he writes – he’s what’s known in the rock world as a triple threat (okay, maybe not the rock world).

Pocket-rocket Elise Evans joined Team Tom after surprising everyone with her powerful vocals. She even surprised herself as she thought no-one would turn for her. “I just thought it’d just be a great experience” she says. “But then I saw Tom turn and I nearly cried. I’ve been a fan of Tom since I was six. “ And she also left a little bit of herself on stage. “Tom knocked my fake nail off. There’s probably a nail on the stage somewhere!” Er, thanks Elise.

Conor Scott was up next and his energetic performance wowed Danny. After joining Dan the man’s team, Danny went backstage to meet Conor’s family. But all Conor could think about was how tall Danny is - “he’s massive – I was looking up at him!” Interesting fact: Conor is scared of big birds like geese, swans, ostrichs and peacocks. But pigeons are OK.

Bubbly northern duo Diva were up next and joined Tom's team. So, do they live up to their name? “We’re called Diva but we’re not divas,” they say. Okay, makes sense so far... “Occasionally we’ve been called Divvy but no diva demands from us. We’re quite easy going.”

Fashionable fashion student, Leah McFall, easily made it through to Will’s team with her amazing vocals. She’s definitely got her own quirky look so how would she describe her style? “I like charity shopping and finding treasures amongst rubbish,” she says. “I wear a lot of man’s clothes because I think they’re better most of the time. My jacket at the Blind Audition was a man’s jacket.”

Also now part of The Voice family is Lovelle Hill who sang ‘Diamonds’ and joined Team Jessie. She’s recorded music in the past including one song which became part of a big ad campaign. But she’s got a strange method in the recording studio... “I like to record songs in the dark,” she says. “Shoes off, no distractions. It helps me focus.” Sounds fun.

And finally Lem Knights also joined Jessie (his idol) after she sand an impromptu duet with him on stage. “I couldn’t move. I was, like, ‘This is NOT HAPPENING’” Lem said afterwards. But what’s something we don’t know about him? “I have size 15 feet!” You know what they say about people with big feet? That’s right, big voices.

Don’t forget you can play The Voice Predictor Game online or with our new app now and predict who will make it through on next week’s show. Speaking of which, we’re at the later time of 8.20pm next Saturday so put it in your diary!

Bye.

"I've written a song with Danny on my album" - What Bo Did Next

2013-03-29T09:26:48+00:00

The beautiful Bo Bruce bewitched us as a finalist on The Voice last year. We’ve been dreaming about her recently so we thought we’d give her a bell and find out what she’s up to now. It was great catching up – here’s what we chatted about...

Hey hey Bo! What have you been up to since The Voice UK finished?

Well, I signed a record deal and a new publishing deal. I’ve also been writing and producing my new album with Jonny McDaid from Snow Patrol, Henry Binns from Zero7 and Sia (spot the name dropper – eek, sorrrrrrry!) and, most importantly, my friend James Flannigan, a 24 year old boy genius who nobody knows just yet but will do soooooon.

Sounds exciting. Tell us about your music...

My debut album Before I Sleep comes out April 29th. I’ve done two music videos which you can find online so go and have a lookseeee. I’ll also be headlining my own UK tour in June!! Please come and hold my hand.

Don’t worry - we’ll be there to look after you. What’s it like being an actual, proper artist?

It’s pretty high pressure and exhausting at times but totally and utterly rewarding.

And what was Danny like as a coach?

Dan always let me do my thing on The Voice - he believed in the vision I already had and stood behind me to make existing ideas even bigger. Most importantly, he made people listen. He's my mate - I speak to him a lot and we wrote my second single Alive together.

Are you glad you took part in The Voice? Would you recommend it to other aspiring artists?

I loved my time on The Voice. Obviously, I'd encourage any aspiring artist to audition for the show: they'd discover that it’s a show that nurtures and never threatens individuality if it’s truly there.

Finally, are you going to be watching the new series this Saturday?

YEPPPP, on a spinning chair.

Series 2 of The Voice UK starts THIS SATURDAY at 7pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.

"I've supported Lana Del Rey AND Azealia Banks" - What Vince Did Next

2013-03-29T09:18:57+00:00

Vince Kidd was, without a doubt, the coolest finalist on The Voice last year. He had bags of swag, an amazing voice and clothes that even Lady Gaga would have thought were too trendy. Now, he’s a proper pop star and his career is going from strength to strength. We caught up with him today to find out how life has been since The Voice UK...

Yo Vince! What have you been up to since The Voice UK finished?

I'm actually talking to you from the set of my new video shoot The Zoo! It's going off!

Sounds fun. What else have you been doing?

I dropped the SICK LOVE EP, which was a record I wrote prior to entering The Voice. The record label heard it and loved it and thought it would be a good little teaser 'till we drop the lead single & album! Exciting times!

Exciting times indeed! So, what's it like being an actual, proper artist?

It’s fun! I love making music, videos & playing live. Favourite memories so far have been the tours! I've done two of my own sell out headline tours & then also supported some of my favourite artists - Azealia Banks & Lana Del Rey. Not to mention Cheryl Cole, who I've been a fan of ever since seeing her do that swan dive at the Voice semi final last year.

Oh yeah, we remember that swan dive well. And what was Jessie J like as a coach?

Jessie is one of the most talented people I have ever met! We had a lot in common, from our taste in clothes & music to our sense of humour. She's a proper joker, but would also keep it real with me & make me work hard! She's still very supportive.

Are you glad you took part in The Voice? Would you recommend it to other aspiring artists?

Yeah man! I got some great memories, met some wicked mates & best of all - the most passionate, dopest fans ever!

Will you be watching the new series this Saturday?

Yeah of course! I've heard alot of my mates are on the show this year, so I will definately be supporting. I'm trying not to be biased but I'm TEAM JESSIE! Also, can I have a ticket to come & watch live please?

We’ll see what we can do! Thanks Vince.

Series 2 of The Voice UK starts THIS SATURDAY at 7pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.

"The Voice completely changed my life" - What Leanne Did Next

2013-03-29T09:11:19+00:00

Our new search for The Voice begins this Saturday (7pm BBC One but you know that by now!) and it made us miss last year’s very lovely winner, Leanne Mitchell. We wanted to know how her life has changed since the show so we picked up the phone and gave her a call (she’s totes on speed dial) - it turns out things have changed A LOT. Here’s what Leanne had to say...

Hi Leanne! What have you been up to since you won The Voice UK last June?

I've mainly been in the studio writing and recording my debut album, which is released on May 27th! I really wanted to write the majority of the album - this is a massive opportunity so I wanted to put everything into it, and make it the best I possibly could. I love the single If I Knew Then. It’s a big emotional ballad with a bit of a punch to it.

Oh, and I've written a book!

What’s it like being an actual, proper artist?

Erm.... I think this is the first time I've been asked that one, so I haven't really thought of myself that way! The fact that I have a record deal is still so surreal. I'm just so grateful to be given the opportunity to do something that I've always wanted but never thought would actually happen!

Why do you think Tom Jones won last year? What was he like as a coach?

Tom was an absolute gentleman, and considering how long he's been in the industry, he is still so down to earth and seems to really care. He obviously likes big voices, so he was a great coach for me. And I still can't believe I got to duet with him!!

Are you glad you took part in The Voice? Would you recommend it to other aspiring artists?

Without a doubt! Without sounding too cliche or cheesy, The Voice completely changed my life. It's opened up doors and opportunities I never ever thought possible for me. I would absolutely recommend other singers to go for it.

Will you be watching the new series this Saturday?

Abso-flippin-lutely! I can't wait! Although my stomach still does a somersault every time I hear the theme tune!!

Series 2 of The Voice UK starts THIS SATURDAY at 7pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.

7 Things You Need To Know About Series 2

2013-03-26T10:09:51+00:00

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,

Unless you’ve been stuck up a tree for the last couple of weeks, you’ll know that The Voice UK is returning to your screens (and your ears) THIS SATURDAY. We don’t want to give too much away but we thought you might like to know seven things to get you in the mood for the new series.

1) YOU CAN PLAY ALONG WITH THE SHOW

This year, we’ve launched an all-new, all-dope game called The Voice Predictor. On Saturday night, you’ll be able to play the game LIVE during the show by predicting which team each artist will join. You can even play in the week by predicting who will make it through in each Saturday’s show. Why not go and have a play now?

2) THE COACHES WILL BE PERFORMING TOGETHER

Move the coffee table out of the way and get ready to dance around your living room because our four superduperstar coaches will be opening series 2 with a barnstorming group performance.

3) SEE JESSIE’S HAIR BEFORE SHE SHAVED IT OFF

The Blind Auditions were filmed not long before Jessie J bravely shaved her head for Comic Relief. We think her new look is great but if you miss her sleek, long locks, make sure you watch Saturday’s show to reminisce about those fine follicles.

4) THERE WILL BE TISSUES

We’ve been lucky enough to see episode 1 (are you jealous?) and we’ve only just stopped sobbing. Make sure you’re wearing waterproof mascara and you’ve got a box of tissues handy because we got emotional at least THREE TIMES during the first episode. Sniff...

5) ALL FOUR COACHES TURN THREE TIMES IN EPISODE 1

Three of the acts in episode 1 are so mind-blowingly, spectacularly awesome that they sent all four of our coaches into a spin. It’s a rare feat but when it happens, it’s very exciting...

6) “WE’RE GOING TO WAR!”

The coaches are determined to win the best artists for their teams this year so things get a little...heated between them sometimes. They’re all ready for battle and are taking no prisoners. It’s a bit like Braveheart... but no-one dies. In the words of Danny O’Donoghue, “I’m not here to enjoy the competition. I’m here to destroy the competition.”

7) WILL.I.AM IS WILL.I.AM

Our favourite American, Mr i.am, is more unpredictable than ever this year. Keep your eyes peeled in the first episode for a glimpse into his mad world. As Jessie J says, “I think he’s lost the plot!”

Series 2 of The Voice UK starts THIS SATURDAY at 7pm on BBC One and BBC One HD. Check out some exclusive pictures from the first episode.

STOP! TRAILER TIME

2013-03-11T11:58:04+00:00

Tonight, straight after the DOOF DOOFs of EastEnders have hit, the FULL trailer for series two of The Voice UK will premiere on BBC One. But there’s no need to wait that long because we have it online EXCLUSIVELY right now – it’s shiny, it’s swanky and it features some of the coolest slo-mo button pushing you’ll ever see.

Not only that but we were personally invited down to the trailer shoot and chatted to the coaches about series 2, the new twists and how cameras are going to take over the world (that last topic was will.i.am’s, obviously.)

Feast your eyes on all this never-before-seen goodness – aren’t we good to you? The show will be starting soooooon – keep your eyes peeled for announcements and more new stuff. Are you excited? We are!

The Sound of Success

2012-04-17T09:24:43+00:00

So, after that phenomenal talent-fest, AKA - the Blind Auditions, Jessie J, Tom Jones, Danny O’Donoghue and will.i.am have assembled their dream teams of ten.

Folks, we give you THE FINAL 40! Allow them to make some noise as they celebrate getting through the biggest audition of their lives…

All four teams have been assembled, now our final 40 artists can make some noise...!

They’ve held their nerves, rocked the stage and impressed our coaches, but they’re not done sounding-off yet. That delightful din is the epic sound of success brought to you by 40 of the most talented singers in the country. We’re feeling pretty inspired; shrieking, whooping and hollering is the new love song FYI.

Let us know what you think of our harmonious Voice UK crew. We’re going to set about choreographing a dance routine to their joint effort…

See ya!

Talk to us. Mouth off. Tell us how it is. Cry on our shoulders.

Laters!

Danny O'Vation

2012-04-02T10:00:25+00:00

Ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for The Voice UK coach Danny O'Donoghueâ¦

Danny O’Donoghue is the type of man who really STANDS UP for what he believes in. And if there’s one thing Danny O’D feels strongly about, it’s a smashing voice (that and designer stubble, but we digress... )

Almost every time our Dan has been moved at the Blind Auditions, the Script frontman has taken to his feet. No big deal. Except due to the level of talent in this first series of The Voice UK, Danny is finding himself standing up more than he’s sitting down!

Now, Danny might argue that his shifty little bum just can’t cope with all that sitting, but we have a sneaky suspicion that he just loves whipping the crowds into a chanting frenzy.

Either way - behold The Man That Can’t Be Moved being moved (to his feet) over and over again...
