'That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do': Jessie J breaks down on The Voice as she can't decide who to send through to live shows
|
Tom Jones and Will.i.am had to make their final team decisions on The Voice on Saturday, but Jessie J seemed to find the process a little more tough during Sunday's show.
Unable to decide who to put through to next week's live shows, the coach struggled to make up her mind after the first knockout.
Having to get advice from her fellow judges and the audience, she finally decided to send through Sarah Cassidy, meaning that it was the end of the road for her former favourite Danny County and Trevor Francis.
Getting help: The other coaches gathered around her as she struggled to decide
Breaking down: Jessie burst out in tears as she had to make her decision, getting emotional
After last night's show, it was Jessie and Danny O'Donoghue's turn on Sunday as they whittled their teams down in the second knockout round.
Jessie was first up as she announced which of her acts she was sending straight through on a fast track, admitting that Welsh singer Ash Morgan was the frontrunner.
'The person I'm taking through is someone who has a voice that is undeniable - it's Ash,' she said as she smiled at the 27-year-old.
'I can't speak - you've been such an incredible coach. Thanks you so much for his,' said the wannabe star.
The three artists to perform in the first knockout were Danny County, Trevor Francis and Sarah Cassidy, who were put together to battle it out for one of the places in Jesse's final team.
Life line: Ash Morgan was automatically put through by Jessie, meaning that he didn't have to compete in the knockouts
First up: Danny was the first to perform in the knockout rounds, taking on Be My Baby
The fight is on: Trevor took the microphone from Danny as he performed for the four coaches
Different songs: Both wannabe stars took on risky songs, proving how different their voices are
Danny was up first, singing his modern reworking of classic song Be My Baby, getting a standing ovation from his mentor.
Saving her comments until all three had performed, she settled back down as Trevor performed his take on Gimme Some Lovin.
'Killed it' whispered Jessie under her breath as the backing singer then handed the microphone to Sarah, who tackled Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
The singer had Will on his feet as he clapped along, while her Danny and Trevor danced along behind her, proving what a difficult decision Jessie had to make.
Watch out boys: The third competitor in the knockout round was Sarah, who blew everyone away with Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Winner: After a difficult decision-making process, Jessie crowned Sarah the winner
A nervous looking Jessie broke down in tears as she said: 'I'm so proud. I don't even know. I need some guidance.'
'The one that had the most power and the person who came across as the strongest was Trevor,' said Tom.
'I'm being honest - you were my favourite Danny, but what happened?' said Will. 'But that being said I would still pick him.'
'Danny up until this point you were one of the strongest acts in this competition. Sarah I was blown away by your performance and I cried. Trevor I loved it - so well done,' said Jessie, clearly unable to decide.
After being pushed by Holly Wiilloughby, she star: 'I am going to go with my gut and my heart. The winner of this knockout is... I don't know.'
Tough choice: Jessie seemed unable to decided who she should put through after becoming emotional
Hard call: Jessie seemed to be changing her mind as she listened to who the crowd preferred
Gathering the other judges around her, she discussed each singer, still unable to reach a decision and being influenced by the audience.
'Danny I was going to take you through - but I'm not going to put you through because I don't think that was the best voice. I'm being real with you. I'm going to go with someone who deserves to fight in the lives - the winner is Sarah,' she finally said.
'That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do,' said the Price Tag singer, clearly emotional after an arduous decision-making process.
Her final three acts, Letitia Grant-Brown, Lovelle Hill and Matt Henry were next up as they fought it out to bag the last spot on Jessie's team.
Up next: Jessie's next knockout battle was between Matt, Lavelle and Letitia
Mixing it up: All three singers took on different songs, making the decision even harder for Jessie
Classic hit: On Jesse's advice, Lovelle took on Cyndi Lauper's True Colours, impressing Tom
Letitia was up first, performing her rendition of Love Is A Battlefield, clearly impressing an excited looking Will while Jessie was on her feet again.
She then handed the mic over to Lovelle, who took on Cyndi Lauper's classic True Colours, after Jessie persuaded her to change her mind on her song choice.
Matt seemed emotional as he sang Birdie's Skinny Love, which ended with all four coaches on their feet.
'Letitia I think you're one of the best undiscovered vocalists in the country - Lovelle that was the most beautiful thing to see unfold,' said Jessie. 'Matt you were my steal and every single person in this room was amazed.'
Not taking as long to decided as she did with the last group, Jessie simply said: 'The winner of this knockout is Matt.'
Raw talent: Letitia blew the entire crowd away with her natural talent
Impressed: Danny was on his feet as Matt performed Birdie's Skinny Love
What a steal: Matt was Jessie's steal from Will, and it paid off as he was crowned the winner after his song
With Jessie's team secured, fast track act Ash was joined in the live line-up by Matt and Sarah, leaving just Danny to decide his line-up.
The Script frontman then had to choose who to take through to the live shows, picking Karl Michael.
'I feel so grateful man, you just through me a life line - I'm just so grateful, man.' he said.
In his first knockout, Danny put together his steal Alex Buchanan with Abi Sampa and Andrea Begley.
Alex, who was stolen from Jessie's team had the crowd on his feet as he performed Signed Sealed Delivered.
He then swapped with Abi, who originally impressed with her mix of Eastern and Western vocal style, taking on Iris by Goo Goo Dolls.
Danny's knockout: Andrea, Abi and Alex were up next in the first of Danny's knockouts
First up: Dentist Abi was first to perform , injecting some of her Eastern vocal style in Iris
Andrea, who only has 10% vision, was the last in the group to perform, decided to sing Songbird, which had Jessie and Danny on their feet.
'For me, the emotion came from Andrea,' said Tom, while Will admitted that he saw Alex as being the best singer.
'It's decision time isn't it? I have to go with my emotions and the person who hit me in the heart the most was Andrea,' said Danny.
'I'm overwhelmed, I'm speechless, I can't say anything,' said the young singer, obviously blown away.
In his second knockout, with only one place left on Danny's team, the remaining acts Connor, Sean and Mitchell battled it out.
Former busker Connor Scott was up first, taking on Train's Hey Soul Sister with his trusty acoustic guitar.
Sean then took over from him, singing Ain't No Sunshine, admitting that it meant more as he's singing it for his birth mother who he's never met.
Voice of an angel: Andrea, who has only 10% vision, was the next to perform her version of Songbird
Powerful: Alex, who was Danny's steal, wowed the audience with his song but failed to impress Danny enough to get through
Hard to pick: All of the judges seemed to have different opinions on who should go through, making it tougher for Danny
Rocker Mitchell was the last to perform, singing Need You Now by Lady Antebellum, taking on a country song despite his rocky voice.
'Probably all three of you looked confident on the stage, and I needed something more of you,' said Jessie.
Connor you've busked this song a hundred times, Mitchell you pulled off a risk, and Sean you mastered your emotions.
'Again, I'm going with my gut. The winner of this knockout is Mitchell,' said Danny, despite the fact that Will had championed Connor.
One spot left: Danny's final three acts then battled it out for the final place on his team
Former busker: Connor failed to impress Will with his performance, and ultimately lost out
Didn't give enough? Will and Jesse thought that Will didn't bring enough to his performance of Ain't No Sunshine
On top: Rocker Mitchell, who performed with his electric guitar was crowned the winner of the knockout
