Thousands applied.
And we've been
auditioning our favourites.
Bring it on!
What?!
You look like
a star, you sound like a star.
You ARE a star!
♪ Stay. ♪
Wow!
You are so good
and you're going to do so well.
So exciting!
We're building six completely
different groups...
Who will battle it out
for the prize of joining us on tour.
We've already formed five bands.
A mixed group.
A boyband.
A girl vocal group.
A vocal and instrument band.
And a girl dance group.
Tonight we create our final band.
A rap/R&B group.
Now we're about to audition them
face-to-face.
Let's go.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
OK, so today, girls, we are
trying to create an R&B/rap group...
Yes! ..which is very exciting.
I feel like, personally,
the only British group we've had
that's like that is So Solid Crew.
♪ 21 seconds to flow
♪ I got 21 seconds to go... ♪
A mixture of singing and rapping.
We don't have anything like that any
more.
Stage presence.
I think we can find that. Yeah.
I think we can find that.
I think it's just interesting
putting
boys and girls together, as well.
You don't often see mixed groups,
like Black Eyed Peas. Yeah.
♪ Let's get-get on
♪ I know that we'll have a ball... ♪
It's like, with that strong female,
brings all different elements,
the rap, the singing.
The hard thing might be trying to
find rappers that work together and
can gel together, but I feel like
we've got some good talent coming.
We do indeed.
Right,
shall we see who we've got? Yes!
We have Kyrome and Fabian.
They're brothers.
Are we ready to see them? Yay!
All right, let's do this.
So...
Right, so this is the moment, yeah?
Feel my sweat, bro.
Feel that sweat!
Oh, look at their piercings.
Nah, nah, he tried to beat me!
My name's Kyrome. I'm 21.
This is my brother.
Yeah, I'm Fabian. I'm 23.
We both love music.
He does beatboxing, plays multiple
instruments, like plays
the guitar really well,
plays the piano.
It was a beat-up,
out-of-tune Argos £24 guitar.
I loved that G.
We've always been close as brothers.
It kind of has always been
a single-parent sort of household.
Growing up, we have always just
been the three of us.
Three Musketeers, man.
This is my mumma. She's very
supportive. Very special to us.
It's the truth.
We've now got a little brother
called Llewellyn.
I'm three years old!
And what's your name?
And I'm Llewellyn.
He's the addition to our family,
man. It's so cute.
Let's have a group hug,
group hug, group hug.
Oh, this is too cute!
That's so cute. Oh, that is
the sweetest thing.
It was rough, man, living in Salford
in them early years,
but, you know, we made it through
because of how close we've been
throughout the whole of our life.
I can't wait to be able to perform
without feeling nervous,
I genuinely can't.
You've got this, boys.
It's Jade.
That's Little Mix!
It's coming from there, man.
How you doing?
We're ready to see you.
Yo, we're ready to see YOU.
Come on then.
Oh, I love them so much already
I can't even deal.
To literally be in a band
together, it's like a dream.
Like a big thing.
Imagine going from being
in a bedroom, not even knowing
I feel pretty nervous, man.
Hello! Hi!
It's Little Mix. You OK?
Ooh, check them out, sweets.
Have some if you want some.
Yeah, feel free to help yourself.
Only if you get through, though.
How are you feeling?
I feel good, man. It's positive.
It's quite exciting, I think,
to have brothers in a group. Yeah.
You've got, like, Oasis,
although that didn't work out very
well in the end! Yeah.
But I think it's exciting for us
to have that family spirit
within a group.
Are you guys really close?
I'd say very close.
When we do music, it brings us
together. That's cute.
If we put you in a group, what kind
of members would you want with you?
I'd like a female in the group,
as well, definitely. OK.
You know Billie Eilish? Yeah, yeah.
I really like her vibe.
Her music's got a lot of meaning.
There's a lot of variation and her
style is sick, as well. Yeah.

That's the best reaction we could
have got. Best reaction ever.
I just love how, like, raw
and honest you guys are.
I love when you sing - you've still
got your accents. Yeah.
It's really cool. There's not many
people that have that about them.
I think it brings a real different
flavour to you guys.
The rapping's brilliant,
the beatboxing,
there's just something about you
that's really infectious.
I don't know why you made us cry.
You're just real.
These shows need real people. Yeah.
Yeah, I just feel so emotional right
now and I don't even know why.
You'll set me off!
When you started,
I was just, like...
I was drawn in and I just
love your chemistry, I love it.
Yeah, God, I'm a bit speechless
right now. I loved that audition.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it, man.
Obviously you know how to harmonise
together already, which is great.
You're just so cute and
you both let each shine.
I just really think,
if we threw a girl in the mix,
it would just become something epic.
So we're going to go to a vote.
You need three yeses to get through.
I just want to say I think you've
set the bar very high already. Wow!
It's a yes from me.
Thank you so much.
It's a definite yes from me.
Thank you.
I'm so sold. It's a yes from me.
Yeah, you got four yeses!
Fully made my day.
Do you know what, boys? If you want
some sweets
on the way out, help yourself.
You've earned it.
Fill your pockets. Fill your boots.
Fill my pockets, quite literally.
Congratulations on getting through.
Have fun in the Band Room. That way.
Go through the clouds. Smashed it.
Thanks, boys.
See ya. See ya.

They're so good. They're just nice,
genuine boys. I know.
The fact that they were getting
emotional made me get emotional.
I had, like, a lump in my throat.
Same.
Isn't it mad how people just singing
or rapping or doing something
can move you so much?
Oh, I'm over the moon!
What a great start.
Come on, bro. Come on, G.
Right, girlies, so next up is Eden.
Ooh! Oh, she looks banging.
Sparkly. I love her eye shadow.
Bit of you, Jade, with the sparkle.
Oh, you know me with glitter.
Eden! Oh, my God!
She jumped out of her skin.
I'm Eden. I love fashion.
I do a lot of charity shop shopping.
I knit.
Yeah, I'm not one of those,
as you can tell, fast knitters.
Just me giving you
Hi! Hello!
How are you? I'm good.
How are you guys? Good.
- You look fabulous.
- Oh, thanks. Amazing.
You literally look like three
completely different people
in them top pictures. I know.
I just wanted to know what made you
shave your hair off.
Well, I grew up in a predominantly
white area... Yep.
So I grew up with this
hate of my hair. It was so tough...
No way. Yeah.
..to get through, and my dad helped
me shave my hair. No way.
Is that your natural
hair in the middle? Yeah.
It's gorgeous. Amazing. Thank you.
You look stunning with a shaved
head, which not many can pull off.
Yeah. But you do need to know that
you're hair's gorgeous.
Thanks so much. So gorgeous.
What kind of band do you see
yourself being in?
I think maybe a mixed R&B,
just cos you can hear everything
when there's boys and girls. Yeah.
But, I mean, ANY band.
I'm down for anyone.
Right, well, this is your moment,
so you own it.

I like the energy. Do you know what?
When you started, I was drawn in
but it was the growl for me.
Then I woke up and I was like,
"You're really, really good."
Oh, thank you.
I just want to convince you at how
beautiful you are. You're stunning.
Oh, thanks.
And I really enjoyed that.
You get, like, one chance to stand
in front of us and give it your all
and you took it and ran.
Especially without nerves,
you could be absolutely incredible.
Oh, thank you. Shall we take it to
a vote? Yes. I think we should.
Well, I personally see you
as a front woman in a band. Oh, wow!
So I'm going to say yes.
Oh, thank you.
I think I'm really excited to see
what we can do with you.
Definite yes.
Oh, my God, thank you.
It's a big yes from me.
Oh, my God, thank you!
It's a yes from me!
Eden, you're through to the
Band Room. Thank you.
Well done. Bye!
Congratulations. Bye!
I cannot believe
she would shave her head
because she didn't like her hair.
I know. It breaks my heart.
Hello! Come on.
Congratulations. Thank you.
You look so amazing, by the way.
Oh, this is amazing, isn't it?
We're getting people that no
other shows get. I know, I know.
How nice is the colour of these
trainers?
Aren't they lush?
Wow, what a nice colour.
Aye, aye, aye.
Huh! Huh!
Well, they're not going to find
anybody like us in the show...
For sure... I can guarantee that!

"Nah, he can't dance."
I was like, "Just wait and see."
He can move!
OK, girls,
so next up is Nimsay and Eldorado.
You would see fire sparking it up.
You would see dancers

You would see gold chandeliers

What makes you want to
be in a group?
We've always been a duo now
and we're looking for that extra
family vibe, as well.
All right, well,
I'm excited for this.
Take it away, guys.

Thank you for bringing the energy
and getting us up dancing.
Loved that. I really did enjoy that.
I can't fault that performance,
it was so much fun.
We were all up dancing because
obviously what we are looking for
to join us on tour is,
like, this much energy.
I know for a fact that you wouldn't
disappoint a crowd.
I can see that on a stage now..
I know... being performed.
Oh, thank you.
The chemistry you have together
is amazing. Thanks. Incredible.
You guys are going to make us
cry right now.
Rappers don't say that!
Right, we need to vote.
Not sure on where
I would put you right now.
I think I'm going to have to say no.
Thank you.
I personally feel like you bring
a different flavour to the show,
so I'm going to say yes.
Thank you. Thank you.
Absolutely love you guys.
I feel like you guys are so unique
and different from anything
else we've had.
But I think I'm going to have to say
no, I'm really sorry, yes.
What do you say, Pez?
I love your vibe and energy,
but I think I probably would have
said no as well.
I'm so sorry. So sorry.
You guys are amazing.
And that song was a bop. Thank you.
So good as a two. SO good.
Thank you. Thank you. Bye, guys.
They were good, though.
They were good.
I didn't think
they were going to be that good.
Who would we put them with?
It's so hard.
Can you tell us
a bit about your musical background?
Yeah, so I grew up in, like,
a reggae household.
I was classically trained
on the cello, joined the choir,
and then went on to be a folk singer
and then pop music.
Love that. Are you ready?
I'm ready.

I do. He's so cute.
Can you explain a little bit
more about your dad?
Me and my dad,
we're like best friends, seriously.
We're, like, SO close.
Since that tragic moment in my life
happened with my mum passing,
he was my rock.
He was there for me.
So, when I was about 13,
my mum passed away,
so I kind of felt, like, wow, a big
figure in my life was taken away.
She always wanted me
to do what I loved.
I always said,
"Mum, I want to do music."
She was like, "Yeah, go for it."
When people say music is a therapy,
they really mean it.
It's so helpful. It's
so helpful for me, definitely, yeah.
I'm honoured to
perform in front of you guys.
WE'RE honoured!

Thank you so much, seriously.
Honestly, I love it.
You just took control. The minute...
I loved how you were dancing,
you were getting down.
You've got great banter as well,
which I think, in a group,
you need that person who is going
to lift you all the time,
so I think that is so important.
I mean, let's not forget that little
drop she did at the beginning, too.
Whoo!
You are such a natural performer,
like, even the way you move,
like, you can move so well.
Thank you.
And you are just infectious.
Your confidence just made me
feel so happy.
I think you've got it all
and I can really see you in a group.
Obviously, the prize, whoever wins
this competition, is going to
join us on stage on tour with us,
the fact that you can
hold your own like that and you're
not even with other people
makes me excited to see what
you're going to be like in a group.
Oh, thank you. All right, then,
shall we go to a vote?
I think you are marvellous,
so, obviously, it has to be a yes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's a definite yes from me.
Thank you so much.
I feel like we could literally put
you in any group and it would work,
so it's a yes from me.
Thank you so much.
You needed three yeses to
get through.
So even if I'd have said no...
But I was going to say yes.
I love you.
Thank you so much. Come on,
group hug, come on!

At the minute, it's just a hobby.
But I want it to become something

because, right now,
I'm doing building

I'm far too busy.

I could do that, you know?
My name is Calum.
I'm a bricklayer by trade,
so I'm well happy to be here,
because, obviously, I don't want to
be laying bricks and that,
but I do fencing, bricklaying,
concreting,
people's driveways, all that boring
stuff that people don't want to do,
I do it because I didn't do very
well in school.
I've got one of those faces that
I can't stop smiling.
Do you know when I'm nervous
and that? Like right now.
I'm just a normal suburban lad,
do you know what I mean?
But, yeah, the way I get my opinion
across is through my music,
so, like, that's my expression.
Performing in front of Little Mix
is going to make me bare nervous.
My music is me as a person,
so, hopefully, they like me.
Hello. How are you doing,
girls? All right?
We are good, thank you.
I was loving this.
And I've been doing it for so long,
I've not got anywhere.

I'm excited to see what he does.
What are you going to sing for us
today? It's my own song.
I made the beat and everything.

because I think they were like every
day... It was funny.
No, I love that they're everyday
lyrics that people can relate to.
I really like that you told
a little cheeky story,
I feel that goes with your
personality.
I think he deserves a chance.
Because he's got a style that has
kind of like gone
out of the industry, like,
it needs to come back.
Shall we go to a vote?
Yeah, I'll kick it off. I like that
you rap, I like that you sing...
I'm going to say yes.
Thank you very much.
OK, I do really love you,
but there's something that's
making me sit on the fence.
Hm. OK.
For that reason, I'm going
to have to say no. I'm sorry.
That's cool.
I really like you,
so it's a yes from me.
Thank you.
Remember, you need three yeses.
Is it three? Yeah, yeah, cool.
So it's all on Jade right now.
Have you worked with groups before?
Like, have you worked with other
people?
I've worked with other artists,
yeah.
When I've made beats and stuff,
I get them over to my house
and we make music.
It's my life, really,
apart from brick-laying.
Yeah, that's what I want to do.
Um...
I'm going to say yes.
Bye. See you.
Oh, bless him.
He's so cute!
Yay!

said Jesy,

said Perrie,
and I thought, "What is going on?"
But... I mean, no favouritism,

I see what you mean.
Spread the love.
Should we just go to a vote?
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Versay, it was an absolute pleasure
watching you perform
and I'm going to say yes.
I'm going to say yes. Thank you.
I don't know. What?!
I'm kidding. I love you. It's a yes!
I knew you she was kidding.
Thank you. Knew it.
Just wanted to shake you up a bit.
You're in the Band Room. For yeses.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, Jes, do you feel a bit hot
there? I do, actually.
I liked that. I think vocally you're
maybe not as strong
as what we might have already,
and it was just purely based
on the high notes at the end.
Like, it seemed a little tiny bit
strained.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it was just so '90s,
it was so R&B, and I've
been waiting for that.
Yeah, I've got to agree with you,
Leigh,
like, your voice is so beautiful.
It's so husky.
And I don't really care that you
can't really go up there because,
when you're in a group, it's all
about having the different dynamics.
Yeah. I'm the low
one in the group, so...
I mean, I love that song,
and you have got such a beautiful,
like, huskiness to your voice.
It's, like, rich.
OK, let's go to a vote.
Yeah, Josh, I'm sorry,
but I just feel like, vocally,
off that performance, I'm sorry,
I'm going to have to say no.
Well, I mean, you've got my vote.
waiting for that voice.
So, Jade, it's all on you.
No pressure.
Oh, erm...
I don't know.
Oh, Josh. So sorry, Josh.
Thanks very much, guys.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Na, it's sad that, you know?
Just goodbye, everyone.
We've had a few disagreements,
but I think that is literally
due down to taste.
Someone comes in that you feel
like you can personally relate to,
How are you? ALL: Good.
Yeah?
Looking amazing tonight, all of you.
Thank you. Mad, mad, mad.
So, Appoluso,
let's see what you've got.

Thank you very much, Appoluso!
Technically, I think you're the best
rapper we've seen today. Wow.
It's a yes from me.
I think you're a cheeky chappie
and very much warmed to you,
I like what you've done.
It's a yes from me.
Oh, gosh.
I can feel a split coming on.
He's good.
He's good. He is. I know.
I think and going to have to say no.
I'm so sorry.
No worries, no worries.
I know.
It's all down to you.
I'm thinking of all the people
that we've already put through
and I honestly don't know who
I would put you with,
because I already have
a vision of what the group...
Yeah, but, there's a vision,
but then, also,
we kind of need the variety.
Do you know what I mean?
I know, but I do feel like we've
already got that.
I don't think we have,
but it's down to you.
I'm not going to sway you any more.
I'm so sorry, it's going to have to
be a no from me today.
Oh, no. What's going on?
Thank you so much for
the opportunity.
Na, that wasn't right, you know?
I think he should have gone in.
I really liked him.
He's good! Really?
It's weird how certain people get
you and certain people don't,
and now we're starting to
disagree a lot, aren't we?
I know. Yeah!
So, I'm a desktop support engineer,
fixing machines, maintenance
with machines, unlocking passwords.
Literally, the tech guy -
long story short.
All the time.
Honestly, people laugh about that
but that is actually key
in resolving the issue.
I'm into, like, comic books,
DC, Marvel, I'm into Lord Of The
Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars.
I'm a bit of a geek. Geek by day,
rapper by night sort of persona.
Right, girlies, next in is
Ashley Tragic.
Ooh. Well,
I hope he's not tragic.
Yeah!
That was good. That was really good.
Some of my, like,
close friends and stuff,
will probably be surprised
that I'm on this show.
It's a big opportunity
and it's a good opportunity, like,
to go on tour with Little Mix,
like, who doesn't want to do that?
Hi, Ashley. Hi. Hello, how are you?
I'm all right, thank you, man.
Ashley, I'm very intrigued
by your name. Ashley Tragic.
Yeah, so it stands for
"taking rap and giving it class".
Oh, wow. Ooh. Cool.
I know it sounds like... At first,
it sounds a bit like you're going
to see a road man or something,
but that's not me, nah, nah.
Yeah. OK. If you were to
see yourself in a band,
what kind of band
would you like to be in?
Do you know what?
I'm quite versatile,
but, erm, I would want to be
the main rapper, so, like,
with some singers, but, obviously,
like, I can work with anything.
There's a picture that
really interests me with you
and it looks like Stormzy.
Yeah. So, erm, a few years back,
when I was in the group, SWB,
we done a competition and
we actually came second to Stormzy.
Oh, wow. Wow. This was years ago.
This was years ago.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, ten years ago.
Wait, so how old are you now?
I'm 25. So, you were 15?
You're 25?! You're 25?
Wow. You've got such a baby face.
I know. Story of my life.
That's such a cool story. Aw.

Oh, yes!
Whoo!
That was cool. Whooooo!
Oh, wow.
Cool. Oh, my goodness.
I'm impressed. Thank you.
I love how much you
change up your flow,
like, throughout the whole song.
Absolutely.
The way you jump from, like,
one rhyming scheme to the next,
the way you played with the words,
like, it was just really, you can
tell you're an intelligent rapper
and you really think about your
craft.
That means the most to me, man, cos
I'm proper about my words.
Like, amazing. You're like poet.
It's brilliant.
Thank you, man.
Seriously, that means a lot.
You were doing your thing and I
wanted to be the girl there, like...
♪ Just this one thing
that got me tripping... ♪
Just next to you, like,
getting involved.
You have such a good vibe.
Like, your rhythm is just insane.
Nothing tragic about you,
sweetheart!
Irony, irony.
I loved how you just came in
and your confidence was
just like sky-high,
and I think that's so important
in the group that we put together.
You've literally just got it.
Right, shall we take it to a vote?
Let's do it.
Well, it's going to be a yes
from me.
It's a definite yes from me.
You got four yeses!
Lovely, man. Thank you.
Congratulations. Well done.
You're through to the Band Room.
Thank you. Nice to meet you lot.
And you. Well done. See you later.
He's so cute.
Aw. He took that pressure well.
He was my favourite, I think.
Really?
Come on, man.
Punch line of the punch line,
you know?
Come on, though.
We might get surprised
in the workshops.
I reckon it's going to go like that.
When we see everybody, like, I think
our favourites are going to go ugh!
The least we expect it,
they're going to go ugh!
Right, girls, I think we should
check out the final lot in
the Band Room. Mm-hm. Yes.
You are our R&B/rap stars!
We just want to say that we are so,
so excited about you guys because
the standard in this category
has honestly been phenomenal.
Mm-hm.
We saw amazing people today,
but you guys sat there right now
were
the best of the best of the best.
Come on!
Come on!
We'll be working with you guys
in the next coming days
and then we're going to see
which combinations work the best.
In front of us and a crowd of fans.
Line-up for the band.
We are so excited!
Congrats, guys.
Well done!
I feel like today has been a
positive day. It's been really good.
Very strong. I feel like we found
some real raw talent.
Yes. And we can create a band
out of these people that... Yes.
..literally hasn't been seen,
hasn't been done before,
something just fresh that's
not on the radio right now.
It's exciting stuff. I can't wait to
work with them. Yay. Yeah.
So, we have rappers
and we have singers.
Now we've got to decide,
do we want a group of rappers,
do we want a group of singers?
I mean, I feel a mix. Me, too.
It's what's going to make it
different... Yeah. Yeah.
..from all the other categories.
It's going to be really tough cos
there's a lot of big personalities,
a lot of amazing rappers,
great vocalists. Yeah. I think we
should get in there, get amongst it
and just see who jumps out at us.
Just do it. Yeah. Come on, then.
All right, guys,
we're going to be working with you,
figuring out some different
combinations, so just bear with us
if we're switching you
all around a little bit.
Currently, there are nine of you,
but, as you're probably aware,
not everybody can get through
to the concert audition.
I think we'll start with Eden,
Reuben, Versay, and Ashley.
So, obviously, yous two rap.
How would you feel about
sharing the rap?
Could work, yeah.

and the brothers?
Where did my mic go? Oh, sorry!
Thank you. It means so much.
I've got this far and I love the
people I'm working with already.

Yeah.
I could feel myself going flat
and I just couldn't correct it
because of the nerves.
Hopefully, they can see past that
little blip, but,
yeah, I'm kind of gutted
at that one.
All right, guys,
we've got a lot to think about.
A lot of people, for me,
didn't bring it today. No.
Ashley and Versay,
both really good rappers.
Ashley, in the audition,
said he wants to be lead rapper.
I thought, "Are you cool sharing
the limelight with somebody else?"
Eden shines so much. So good.
This is how I feel about Riya -
I can't really critique what she
did because there wasn't anything
in particular that she did wrong.
Romina, there's
something about that I just love.
I prefer Romina when she raps...
Yeah.
..than when she's singing. I do.
I almost feel like, personally,
it's too much.
Really? Oh, I like her.
I think it's too much.
The brothers crumbled under
pressure and so did Calum.
Calum, bless him, like,
I was really rooting for him.
He's such a great guy
but he didn't...
He didn't go with it when he made
a mistake. He didn't bring it back.
Calum and Fabian
really disappointed me.
We cried at their audition,
there was something so special.
What happened? I'm so annoyed.
It's not that anything's happened,
they just don't shine in a group.
They shine on their own.
Why don't we give Calum a chance?
Kyrome and Fabian, because of
how they made me feel in
that first audition,
that's what I'm holding to.
I would just give them a chance.
We need to decide. I know. We could
go round in circles with this one,
but I think we just
need to make a decision.
You guys have done
so well for getting this far
and you should be
so incredibly proud of yourselves.
For us, we just don't feel we can
take you through to the next stage.
Kyrome and Fabian, we've just
got to say that we felt
you didn't shine as much.
We just feel as though
you're stronger just you two.
There were a few parts where
I thought, in the harmonies,
I did feel a bit weaker today.
Calum, we absolutely adore you.
I just think, when you were
put with everybody else,
you were just overshadowed
a little bit. Mm.
I normally take a step back, man.
When the talent is so high,
you either step up or you step back,
and it was just really,
really hard for us
to make that decision
because we love you three so much.
Bring it next year, innit?
That's the attitude!
That is the right attitude.
Honestly, guys, do you know
how many knockbacks we've had?
I did a show like this three times,
year after year.
I was like, "Right, I'm going back
next year.
"I'm going back next year."
And every time she did it
it made her stronger.
Yeah. So, please, don't let this
defeat you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Hello.
First of all, we are
looking for a band that's
going to bring it on stage.
The prize is obviously to
join us on tour,
in front of thousands of people.
That is what we need.
This isn't the final
line-up of the final group,
but you will all be coming to
the concert audition.
So, you guys need to
bring it even more. Yeah.
Show us why you deserve to be here.
So, congratulations!
Well done. Oh, my God. Well done.
Before we can decide on the final
line-up of the rap/R&B band...
I'm just going to say to myself,
"I'm nervous, that's OK.
"I'm still going to bring it."
I'm just ready.
We are already to just go
on that stage and just give them
the energy that they deserve!
If we lose someone, it's
going to be heartbreaking, but...
I feel like we're family now,
so it's hard. Yeah.
I don't know about you,
but, if you're nervous,
it means that
it means something to you.
Pressure make diamonds, they say.
Pressure makes diamonds.
Now, I really, really hope more
than anything that they don't
end up looking like
a bunch of solo artists on stage.
We really need to make sure that
they have that group dynamic. Yeah.
Everyone, please
welcome our rap/R&B group.

Smashed it.
Wow. Wow.
Well done, everyone.
That was incredible!
All right, guys, so we're going to
go and have a little chat
because we have some very,
very big decisions to make.
It's not going to be easy.
OK, so a rap and R&B group.
Getting the balance right
in this group is key... Yep.
..because, for me personally,
I don't think it's a bad idea
to have a three-piece.
I think it needs to be a four. Do
you? I think we should bring five.
Bring something different.
No, it's a four. Definitely a four.
We've got three really strong
rappers in this group now.
Do we really need all three of them?
Yes, we do. Three? Do we have two?
Do we have one?
Do we go with the better rapper?
They're both good.
I couldn't choose.
Two singers, two rappers could be
cool.
Do you love him more than her?
I think he got a bit lost.
If she's not in this group,
I'm walking. Sorry.
So she's a definite?
I was never sold.
I loved her personality, but...
You weren't!
I think put her back, but...
She is my absolute favourite.
I would 100% put her in this group.
Really?
It looks like a very successful
group already to me
Unfortunately, not all of you will
make it into our rap and R&B group.
We can reveal that there are...
..four spaces in this line-up.
I know that I've got talent.
I know that I can make music.
It's definitely a lot of pressure
that there's only one shot.
I'd love to be in a band.
I want to be as big as I can get.
The sky's the limit.
To be honest, like, I am nervous.
I am nervous.
But I want to be a musician,
that's what I want to be.
This is such a big opportunity
and I am terrified.
I'm a singer, rapper,
I can do both. This is it.
It's been a really,
really hard decision.
The final line-up
of our rap and R&B group...
..is...
Romina!
Ashley!
Next in the group is...
Eden!
The fourth and final member
of our rap and R&B group is...
Versay!
Thank you so much, Riya and Reuben.
You've been absolutely incredible.
We've loved, loved working with you.
You're both so incredibly talented.
Give it up, please!
Congratulations, guys.
You are our rap and R&B group.
Thank you so much.
Guys, honestly,
it's been an absolute pleasure
having you on our show.
Thank you. You're so lovely, both of
you, and so talented. Thank you.
The sixth
and final group is complete.
Eden, Ashley Tragic, Versay
and Romina are our rap/R&B band.
We're going to bring
so much creativity-wise and they've
never had wordplay rappers like us
two on a show like this.
And with the soulfulness of you
two...
It's crazy... it's ridiculous.
Well, guys, that's it.
That's our six bands.
Yay! I'm so excited.
The auditions are over.
We have now created six new bands.
A mixed group.
Now it's like battle against bands.
A boyband.
A girl vocal group.
We are one step closer to being
the band that goes on tour
with Little Mix.
A vocal and instrument band.
It's mind-blowing.
It means the absolute world.
A girl dance group.
This is where the hard work starts!
A rap/R&B group.
Yes! I can't believe it.
Next week is
the battle of the bands...
All six groups go head-to-head...
..to try and prove
that they can be global stars.
But only one band will win...
..and perform with us
on our next big tour.
Join us next Saturday!
