The Voice UK - Live Show 4 - Jessie Vs Danny, round two

Team Jessie with Jessie J- We Are Young (Fun feat Janelle Monae).
Having to replay because Jessie's mic wasn't on, we eventually got to hear her struggling to reach the low notes we couldn't hear. None of her team did any better, and it was overall a tuneless car crash, rather than the rousing harmonious song it should be.

TEAM DANNY O'DONOGHUE
1. Max Milner - The Black Horse & The Cherry Tree (KT Tunstall).
Things started off nicely, with his acoustic playing and the loop machine that I remember Daithi using to such great effect in Must Be The Music. But that went out the window and he went a bit rappy and growly and less singy and rather unpleasant. Oh dear.

TEAM JESSIE J
2. Cassius Henry - Turning Tables (Adele).
He was standing on a turning table. See what Jessie did there? And she has the nerve to criticise others' visual choices. Anyway, Cassius's vocals were very strong, and far more suited to this song than last week's. He overdid the runs a bit, but I have no doubt Jessie would have pushed him in that direction.

TEAM DANNY
3. Bo Bruce - Love The Way You Lie (Rihanna).
Bo doesn't have the belter of a voice that I would expect on this song, and it definitely showed her limits. But she does have an Alex Parks vibe that I like, rather than a Diana Vickers one, so I kind of liked it. Kind of.

TEAM JESSIE
4. Vince Kidd - Your Love Is My Love (Whitney Houston).
Dressed like Brian Harvey on an 18-30, Vince gave it a more of a reggae vibe that worked fine, and for once he didn't oversing too much. He tried, but pulled back when the song didn't lend itself to it. Not quite the car crash I was expecting.

TEAM DANNY
5. Aleks Josh - Better Together (Jack Johnson).
There's sedate, easy performances, and then there's keeping your hands in your pockets. There's laidback, and then there's a bit dull. I couldn't fault his vocals, but it hardly kept me awake.

TEAM JESSIE
6. Becky Hill - Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes).
We get a marvellous moment when Becky forgets her lyrics and mouths "FUCK" at the camera. At 7.26pm on Saturday prime time BBC TV. Last week, she walked as she sang. This week, she walked as she sang. It was just as dull as Aleks, but in a very different way. Her vocals were okay, but unsuited to this terrible choice of song.

TEAM DANNY
7. David Julien - She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5).
I thought this would be a great song choice, but it ended up sounding like a bad Matt Cardle impression. Very disappointing.

TEAM JESSIE
8. Toni Warne - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Elton John).
Toni has an amazing voice, and had the potential to nail that song. Instead, she started well before opting for the eye-rolling screeching approach.

Team Danny with Danny O'Donoghue - Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye).
Now THAT is how you do a group number. Loved the staging, loved the vocals. Some of the harmonies were a bit off, and Danny was the weak link, but overall rather excellent.

RESULTS

TEAM JESSIE
The viewers save Vince.
Jessie saves Becky.
So it's goodbye to Toni (thankfully, though gracious in defeat) and Cassius (who completely threw his toys out of the pram).

TEAM DANNY
The viewers save Bo.
Danny saves Max. I'd have said he was the weakest of the four.
So it's goodbye to David (a shame) and Aleks (more toys out of pram).
