Hello.
Are you excited about Battle Saturday (aka BATTERday, aka BATTLEday, aka tomorrow night)? If not, you should check your pulse because you’re probably a tree.
Saturday’s Battle line-up is very tasty indeed. And here it is…
Round 1: Jamie Bruce vs L.B Robinson
Round 2: Jordan Lee Davies vs Matt Henry
Round 3: Andrea Begley vs Alice Barlow
Round 4: Katie Benbow vs Sarah Cassidy
Round 5: Nu-Tarna vs Cleo Higgins
Round 6: Ash Morgan vs Adam Barron
Told you it was tasty. Give us your predictions in the comments.
Something else to get excited about tomorrow is the dramatic new twist… the STEALS!
After each battle, the other three coaches are given the opportunity to STEAL the losing artist. They can only STEAL one each but it does mean that all is not lost if you lose a battle. It also makes for extra drama while we wait to see if any of the coaches will bash their STEAL button (sorry we keep putting STEAL in caps: it’s just a very dramatic twist).
Don't forget you can get involved by playing The Voice Predictor Game and predict who will win each Battle. Download our mobile app or play online.
So, Saturday at 8.35pm and Sunday...

So there you have it – this year’s dope-tacular talent-fest AKA the Blind Auditions are done! Hi-fives and back pats all round. Our superstar coaches Jessie J, Tom Jones, Danny O’Donoghue and will.i.am have assembled their dream teams of twelve.
While the coaches decided how they were going to get their spinny chairs home, we spoke to the artists who nabbed the final 7 spaces to find out how they were feeling and got all the goss...

The man in the Hawaiian shirt John Pritchard kicked off the chair turns this week and joined Team will.i.am. “That was absolutely mental,” he said afterwards. “But I’m so, so happy I’m with Will. He’s incredible!” John has another special talent - he can do impressions of other singers. Our particular favourite was his imitation of Heather Small. If you spot him in the street, ask him to do it – it’s hilarious.

“VERY nerve-wracking” was how Letitia Grant-Brown described her audition. She shouldn’t have been nervous though because Jessie J REALLY liked her and Letitia joined her team. “I got the person I wanted,” Letitia said. “Jessie’s vocal ability is out of this world so she was always the one for me.” Letitia has...

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...

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...

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...

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.
As you can imagine, we’re already getting pretty excited about the next episode. Speaking of which, we’ve just released an exclusive...

He was the master of falsetto who got a second chance and a new BFF (will.i.am) from his time on The Voice – it’s Tyler James. Ahead of the second series, we were wondering how Tyler is finding his new life now that he’s ‘kind of a big deal’ and what it’s like being chums with Mr i.am...
Hello Tyler! What have you been up to since The Voice UK finished?
I haven’t come up for breath yet but I’m loving every minute. In the last 9 months, I’ve been on tour with will.i.am, written, recorded and released my album A Place I Go and released two singles. I’ve also done my own...

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...

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?
