The Voice UK 2014 : Week One Battles

[Kate!]

Discussion thread for tonight's show.

It's Battle Time!

QOTD - who do you think will win each battle? (See article on tibb homepage for details of who's taking on who.)

[Natalie.]

Watching this instead of Ant and Dec this time

[Ammi]

..:douf:..

[Lewis.]

Been looking forward to this!!

[Shaun]

i hope jermaine gets through :flutter:

[Shaun]

OK there's no chance she'll win yay.

[Lewis.]

Really like Sarah! Love Leah too, glad to see her face on my TV :love:

[Natalie.]

On for 2 hourr :o

[GypsyGoth]

Jermain had this won before the song started.

[Natalie.]

Love Jermain

[Shaun]

OK but stop doing the low-bits pls

[Shaun]

More than likely, considering the caliber of the early girls he was putting through, they should both be in the final six :(

[Kate!]

He's miles better than her. I do like her but he's nailed it I reckon.

[Lewis.]

Only one who preferred Sarah then!

[Lewis.]

18!! He looks late 20's at least!

[Ammi]

..I missed that but Jermain was better in the first round...

[Lewis.]

Think that Tom should steal her, she'd do well on Team Tom.

[Kate!]

Doubt they'll steal

[Braden]

I would've kept him too.

He's more marketable.

[Natalie.]

Jake :amazed:

[Kate!]

Love Scissor Sisters :)

[GypsyGoth]

Guy with bigger teeth will win this.

[Lewis.]

God he seems arrogant

[Shaun]

Well Lee is a douche...

[Shaun]

don't care for either of them bye

but lee is a prat so i shall support the other one by default

[GypsyGoth]

I expected both of them to be better.

[Kate!]

Both meh tbh.

[Shaun]

meh he won't win anyway :idc:

[Ammi]

..he wasn't the favourite Jimmy...

[Shaun]

this bit is always so awkward :laugh: they should just stare at him and do a Caesar "thumbs down" thing

[Kate!]

If Kylie puts two outstanding ones against each other now that's just ridiculous.

[Lewis.]

this bit is always so awkward :laugh: they should just stare at him and do a Caesar "thumbs down" thing

Hahaha genuinely laughed out loud then!

[GypsyGoth]

this bit is always so awkward :laugh: they should just stare at him and do a Caesar "thumbs down" thing

:laugh2:

Then pelt them with rotten fruit.

[Kate!]

Tinie Tempah :love:

[Shaun]

:facepalm:

yes i'm sure tom jones is great friends with tinie tempah, and this isn't a desperate attempt by the BBC to throw relevance in our face

[GypsyGoth]

Tinie :worship:

[Shaun]

k get rid of talia pls noone likes country

[Lewis.]

Setting the blonde one up for a win here...

[Shaun]

she doesn't know who olly murs is :lovedup: i hope she wins

[GypsyGoth]

She has a nice voice.

[Ammi]

..I don't remember her from the first round...

[Kate!]

:facepalm:

yes i'm sure tom jones is great friends with tinie tempah, and this isn't a desperate attempt by the BBC to throw relevance in our face

:laugh2: you can imagine them clubbing together, looooool.

Tom ... "Come on Tinie, there's a pair of lovelies on the dancefloor"
Tinie ... "I like my women with their own teeth"

[Lewis.]

Oooh her voice is good, effortless!

[Kate!]

Sally's much better

[smudgie]

Nono no, go home Miss Country.

[Ammi]

..oh Talia sounds nervous but I quite like her voice...

[Lewis.]

Sally has it in the bag!

[Ammi]

..Talia is good actually..:love:...

[smudgie]

Sally singing from the heart

[Shaun]

Both are lovely, but Sally is my gurl

[Natalie.]

I prefer the blonde lady

[Braden]

I love Sally, but I can't see her being successful outside of the show?

She's not exactly SuBo.

[Braden]

Sally's like "yeah I know" :laugh:

[Shaun]

Sally's the one who's supported Bob Dylan, right?

[smudgie]

Yay.:dance:

[Lewis.]

Love Katy B!

[Shaun]

Katy :lovedup:

(B, not perry :bored:)

[Kate!]

Aah. I like both these acts.

[GypsyGoth]

This could be close. But I think Beth's got this.

[GypsyGoth]

The twins seem like backing singers to Beth.

[Shaun]

Pretty certain he'll put the young girl through.

The twins are OK... but they're better off as backing singers.

[Shaun]

:laugh: claudia, great minds

[Ammi]

..Beth..:love:..

[Kate!]

Beth is outstanding. Gotta be her.

[Lewis.]

Yeah Beth was great, the Twins sounded good too though!

[Natalie.]

Preferred the twins

[Shaun]

I'd go for the twins personally since there've been way too many Beths on this show before and they just disappear

[Kate!]

It's a shame, I like them. They should do X factor.

[smudgie]

All 3 were good, but Beth pips it for me.

[Shaun]

will's face @ that decision :joker:

[Lewis.]

Complete .gif face from Will there!!

[Ammi]

..yes, yes..

[Kate!]

She's got charisma and talent - good pick Ricky

[Natalie.]

Aw :(

[Ammi]

..and she had a great hat..

[Lewis.]

God, my flatmate is forever cooking onions I can't even see the TV anymore through my tears.

Don't remember either of these from the blinds.

[Kate!]

Both of these are really good. Dammmmm!

[Shaun]

Leo ftw pls.

He's the one that was in the Streets, right?

edit: yes he is. ty wikipedia.

[Natalie.]

Who chooses what two battle?

[GypsyGoth]

I want Leo to get through.

[GypsyGoth]

Who chooses what two battle?

The coach, Kylie in this case.

[Ammi]

Who chooses what two battle?


..I don't know Natalie, maybe it's a random choice ..

[Ammi]

..or what Claudia said...

[Kate!]

I love Steven. He's amazing.

[Natalie.]

The coach, Kylie in this case.

Ohh ok, thank you

[Lewis.]

Leo is better, but think Steven has a lot of potential to get better.

[GypsyGoth]

..or what Claudia said...

:laugh:

[Ammi]

..put them both through...

[Shaun]

this song is just incompatable with Steven's voice tbh

[Natalie.]

I like both! love Leo though

[smudgie]

Hard choice.
Both really good.

[Kate!]

Whoever doesn't get picked needs to be stolen tbh

[Shaun]

*just noticed they're both called Leo (Sayer/Ihenacho) :facepalm: is a mess*

[Ammi]

..who is Steven, then..?..

[Shaun]

yay :lovedup:

[Ammi]

..yay..Leo..:lovedup:..

[Kate!]

Kylie thinking with her vagina :idc:

[Shaun]

Oh... didn't see that coming.

[Lewis.]

A throwaway steal there...

[smudgie]

Yay Tom:dance:

[Ammi]

..good old Tom..

[Natalie.]

Yes :D

[Natalie.]

Kylie thinking with her vagina :idc:

:joker:

[GypsyGoth]

Shocked that Tom did that.

[Kate!]

Great steal Tom :love:

[GypsyGoth]

Kylie thinking with her vagina :idc:

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

Oh, I must have missed this audition. Kenny sounds awesome.

[Kate!]

Hey Jude :worship:

[GypsyGoth]

Tom looks really different when he was younger.

[Lewis.]

Didn't see Tom putting those two together :idc:

[Ammi]

..Tom and Wilson Pickett..:love:..

[Kate!]

Love this song.

[Ammi]

..oh hello Kenny..

[Lewis.]

Hard choice, they're pretty much the same in ability. Think I'd pick the one in blue though.

[Ammi]

..there's going to be another steal here..

[Natalie.]

I love this song. They're both good but prefer Kenny?

[Ammi]

I love this song. They're both good but prefer Kenny?

..I can't decide now..:laugh:..

[smudgie]

Wow. Amazing performance.

[Ramsay]

They sound exactly the same

[Shaun]

I think I'd go for Bizzi but both are excellent

[Kate!]

Kenny for me

[Lewis.]

That's what I always like about team Tom, he always picks performers that are going to give a good consistent performance.

[Lewis.]

Would go for Bizzi.

[Ammi]

..tough choice...

[Natalie.]

Tough choice that

[Kate!]

Awwww at Kenny's face. Bless.

[Lewis.]

Must be hard for him, there was literally nothing in it.

[Lewis.]

Loved Tom's audition!!

[Jordan.]

What is the jacket thing he is wearing

[Jordan.]

This is the first time I've watched since the first show lol

[Lewis.]

What is the jacket thing he is wearing

One of Gaga's offcasts I think...

[Kate!]

Callum v Tom hmmmm.

I'm expecting them to whip out handbags and fight

[Ammi]

...I don't like Callum's voice..it's too nasally...

[Shaun]

i don't like either of them because they both dress like twats

[Ammi]

..I hope they never ever do a duet together..

[Lewis.]

Another hard one... Tom was better but could see Callum doing better in the long run.

[Ammi]

..Tom because he has nice glasses..

[Kate!]

i don't like either of them because they both dress like twats

:laugh3:

And Tom looks like a Proclaimer

[GypsyGoth]

Send both home.

[Lewis.]

Surprised!!

[Ammi]

..okey doke..

[Lewis.]

Send both home.

... and bring back Leah so she can win it this time :idc:

[Kate!]

Interesting choice. Don't steal.

[Lewis.]

Think I'd consider stealing, his voice is great!

[Kate!]

He's a nice lad, congratulating the other guy.

[Vanessa]

I need to catch up on this. :)

[Lewis.]

Think this might be good!

[Kate!]

Rooting for Jai, loved her at auditions.

[Ammi]

..I love this song but this might not be good at all..

[Gstar]

omg her name has makosi in it

[GypsyGoth]

Jai :worship:

[Ammi]

..wow, Jai is good...well neither of them are bad but Jai..:love:...

[Braden]

Nomakhosi :love:

Jai sounded awful in my opinion.

[Lewis.]

Something very sexy about Jai...

[Shaun]

i wasn't paying attention but they sounded alright

[Kate!]

Nomakosi has a great voice, but Jai nailed it

[Lewis.]

Reckon we'll see another steal here!

[Jordan.]

omg her name has makosi in it

:joker:

[Ammi]

..YAYYY..:flutter:..

[Kate!]

Yes Kylie !

[Lewis.]

Good choice!

[Shaun]

not the first time a makosi has been robbed :worry:

[Shaun]

omg :flutter:

[Ammi]

..awww, she deserved to be stolen as well...

[Natalie.]

yess

[Lewis.]

She'll do well on Will's team!

[Lewis.]

Emily :love:

[Shaun]

Emily must win tbh

[Kate!]

I'm pleased at that steal.

[Lewis.]

Horrid battle song, no-one can beat Christina!

[Kate!]

Nobody will have any steals left for next week :(

[Gstar]

Still need to get Katy B's album

[Gstar]

Both are pretty

[Jordan.]

Blonde one is far better

[smudgie]

Emily for me.

[Braden]

Would love it if someone took this 'battle' thing literally and just knocked their opponent clean out.

Would make great viewing and the atmosphere in the studio would be hilarious.

[Kate!]

Emily please

[Lewis.]

Think Emily is a potential winner, Ricky would be silly to let her go!

[Gstar]

that battle was so dry

[Ammi]

..Emily has the strongest voice but it's hard to understand her when she sings and I hate that...

[Lewis.]

[Lewis.]

[Jordan.]

She looks like a better looking Jesy Nelson

[Kate!]

Celestine and Mairead next

[Lewis.]

Mairead for me...

[Kate!]

Celestine for me

[Jordan.]

people who talk to much http://i.imgur.com/EsYzEcF.png

[Shaun]

celestine throwing shade

[Gstar]

Celestine is my mums friend irl btw :laugh:

[Natalie.]

I like Celestine

[Ammi]

..Celestine..:flutter:..

[Shaun]

i don't really like either of them but that's probably because of the song

[Shaun]

this battle is a mess

[Jordan.]

flop song choice

[Lewis.]

Bad song...

[Kate!]

Awful song choice

I think Ricky will steal Mairead

[Jordan.]

Celestine is my mums friend irl btw :laugh:

spill the result

[Ammi]

..yes, she was the best by far..:flutter:..

[Kate!]

C'mon Ricky steal. She's good. Just had a lousy song.

[Shaun]

the right decision tbf

[Lewis.]

Emma's so lovely.

[Gstar]

spill the result

the result was obvious

[Kate!]

It was the right decision but I liked Mairead. Shame.

[Braden]

It's sad because she seems really nice, and her boyfriend is hot...and we're probably not going to see him ever again :(

[Ammi]

..just time to watch this last battle before True Detectives..

[Shaun]

ugh the harp-girl annoys me and i can't explain why

[Jordan.]

wrap that harp around her neck

[Shaun]

it might be that she looks like an Eastenders extra from 1992

ratchet mess

[Kate!]

wrap that harp around her neck

:laugh: she's giving daggers.

[Lewis.]

Wish Will and Leah would get together already :love:

[Gstar]

please don't ruin one of the best songs ever which was also BB5s series best bits song

[GypsyGoth]

Harp girl's got this.

[Kate!]

Green day :love: this is their best song.

[Shaun]

Reckon the loser will be stolen tbh

[smudgie]

Singing versus shouting...

[Kate!]

Jess, and then Ricky will take Anna.

[Gstar]

how many battle episodes are there?

[Ammi]

...I hope someone steals Jessica..

[smudgie]

Yay:dance:

[Gstar]

bad choice

[Jordan.]

urghhh

[Shaun]

:bored: i hope the harp falls on her and she's trapped before she can perform on the first live show

[GypsyGoth]

She gonna break her harp in anger.

[Kate!]

...I hope someone steals Jessica..

[2]

[Jordan.]

yay http://a.mod-site.net/s/appl.gif

[Shaun]

good man ricky :love:

[Kate!]

Christina v Nathan ....

[Gstar]

the stolen people > the people picked by judges

[Shaun]

this song is so in her favour :joker:

[Gstar]

They would make a good couple

[Kate!]

He looks like an overweight T-Bird.

[Gstar]

would anyone ever fall down those stairs? :(

[Lewis.]

Wow... goosebumps from her!

[Shaun]

both are great but he's not really mainstream.

[Kate!]

She's pitch perfect :love:

[smudgie]

Two more great singers.
Hard decision.

[Gstar]

omg christina :love: :love: :love:

[Shaun]

jeeeeeeeesus

[Lewis.]

Wowowowowowowowow I'm fangirling here

[Kate!]

I love her :D

[Kate!]

Yus Ricky!!! :worship:

[Gstar]

Christina for final 3 please

[Shaun]

his whole team is female though isn't it? :/

[Lewis.]

She'll be Ricky's last I reckon... either her or Chris Royal!

[Kate!]

It's a bit unfair on the acts that go next week cos Kylie's the only one with a steal :(

I'm not impressed by that.

[Lewis.]

Good show tonight, a couple of strange steals but I think some real contenders are emerging!

[Black Dagger]

his whole team is female though isn't it? :/

He has a couple of guys, Jamie (who looks like a girl) who is my fave, was amazing last week, Max and some guy called Chris.

That battle that ended the night was incred.

I still think 2 hours and 10 minutes of any show is daunting though, I'd have rather had an hour tonight and one tomorrow.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, the steals were awful tbh. Steven was as fodder as anything, and Jess' friend made me hate her, loud knob.

[Lewis.]

I think they'll regret stealing so early when some of the really good ones have to go next week. I'm totally surprised that Tom turned for Steven but not for Sarah, thought she was much better.

[Kate!]

Definitely agree, think they should have two steals per judge tbh.
