    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.

    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...

    The start of series 2 went down a storm last Saturday. You lot were all loving it online along with our celeb chums like Ricky Gervais, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Vaughan - we hit nearly 150,000 tweets during the episode. Not to mention, SHEDLOADS of you played along with the show with The Voice Predictor Game! Someone even called Saturday ‘The Night The Internet Changed FOREVER’... Ok, I called it that but I was hyper and I’d had too much lemonade.
