Another installment of the chair-swivelling show that brings us . . . well, not a lot. Will.i.am says very little (thank goodness) and when he does speak, it is usually to say something of little value or sense. Ricky Wilson smiles and frequency looks doe-eyed. Tom simply sits and laps up the comments and status that he's apparently got - that of 'legend'. Emma Willis is simply not needed on this programme. As for Marvin, why? - period!
Jamie Johnson, 19
This self-confessed "mummy's boy" seemed intent on giggling stupidly and sang with no great level of competence. Ricky grinned stupidly, but that revealed nothing, as it was his usual state. For some reason, Ricky, Tom and Kylie all turned around, to the completely mad and over-the-top screaming from his mother. Tom's comments confirmed he'd thought Jamie was a girl. Ricky offered to get T-shits printed, and so Kylie won. However, I rather thank that Kylie lost.
Mairead, 31
The woman with the scary eyeliner was a non-stop talker, and I wondered whether she was in fact 13 rather than 31. For the second time in a row, Will.i.am showed more sense than the other three, who all turned around. Mairead asked Will: "You didn't think it was mega dope?" No, Mairead, he has, though, probably just realised you are a dope! Tom waffled on in his usual way, making the obligatory reference to 'power', with: "Iconic song; you were hitting some powerful notes." The dopy woman opted for Tom on the basis of: "You remind me of my dad." Pathetic. She left the stage still talking at 120 words per minute.
Lewis Clay, 31
No one turned. He did sound to me a bit desperate. Will raised the issue of "consistent flatness" followed by the provision of a silly analogy with riding a horse (!?!?)
Jimmy Weston, 39
The painter and decorator was pretty good, even if he was a cross between Bryan Adams and Don Henley. He opted for Kylie because . . well, why wouldn't he?
Kelsey-Beth, 21
I am not sure what sort of a name that is. The ex-soap actor told us she was serious about being a musician, and I considered this erroneous, considering that she is singing and not creating music via any instrument. I thought she was rather dodgy and some of the notes were off. Kylie wanted her but Ricky was victorious after an impassioned plea.
Bob Blakeley, 55
Here was someone to buck the trend. The chilled warehouse worker (he works in a chilled warehouse, rather than being a warehouse worker who is 'chilled'). Everyone thought Tom would turn, but he didn't. No one turned, for some reason. I've no idea why he was shunned.
Miles Anthony, 21
I considered what I'd tuned in to watch - The Voice. I reminded myself of the claim by the BBC - "It's all about the voice" and then compared this aspirational statement with reality, and the sob story being presented. I am sorry that his niece has an illness and a short life expectancy, but this has absolutely no place on the show ahead of a contestant singing. He sang. It was okay; that's about it. Emma Willis was with the family, shouting along: "Push the button." A Sugarbabe you ain't, Emma. Afterwards, Kylie told him they'd messed up by not pushing the button. Tom said he should have pressed, and Ricky also said he should have pressed. Oh well.
Sophie May Williams, 17
Will.i.am woke up and pressed, and the others just listened. She was interesting, and suited Will, if that's not an insult to Sophie.
Jermain Jackman, 18
Very good, and again, Will waited till the very end and bagged another good singer.
