What's your name?
My name is Emmanuel.
Ooh your voice!
- Wow!
Your speaking voice
is nothing like your singing voice.
Yeah, I know.
What's your name?
My name is Emmanuel.
Ooh your voice!
- Wow!
Damn man!
Were you the one
that was just singing?
Yes.
I was born in Nigeria.
And I came here when
I was 8 years old.
So how long have
you been into music?
And where does your love
of music come from?
When I first came to London
my dad had the Spice Girls album.
And um... I thought...
Is he for real?
I can't even imagine what
you're going to sing today.
I love music so much.
You know, I want
people to just hear...
What I sound like.
I believe this is my chance to...
show off what I've got.
Your speaking voice
is nothing like your singing voice.
Yeah, I know.
To be quite honest with you...
you've finished this song
before I realized it was over.
And that's the only reason
that I didn't press my button.
'Cause I loved what you did.
Thank you,
thank you so much.
The weird thing is
we just had a guy come out.
and he was exactly what I was looking for, 
he's a young kid...
he's good-looking, sang a pop song
and he was great.
And I was like: "well, that's
what I was looking for".
That's what I need
to fill up my team.
And then you come on...
and I wasn't looking for you...
but I pressed my button anyway.
And then I was like: "that's what I
should have been doing all along".
Why have I been thinking
about this stupid games?
When people like that
are out there, singing like that.
So Emmanuel and Classical Reflection.
It is an odd pairing but...
Sometimes those make
the best battles.
We've got to start again.
It's fine.
I'm going to swap you around,
if that's all right.
He just froze.
He forgot everything
that he's good at.
I felt quite overwhelmed.
It was just...
It was just...
it was too much.
So Emmanuel...
the thing is about you...
you're an artist, you're not used
to this kind of thing.
And it was like,
proper fish out of water.
It's quite new for me
to have all this attention.
I kind of felt, like, exposed.
I felt kind of naked.
Basically, get the emotion of the song.
Tell that story.
You're my storyteller.
He can do this.
Don't have any doubt
in his performance.
I want people to know
that he can do it
But in order for that to happen
he's gotta know he can do it.
It must have been so hard for you Emmanuel,
to really kind of...
stand out with two voices.
Especially two that know
each other so well.
Thanks. Thank you.
You know, you put that thing on it,
you know you...
You've got the soul thing in this.
Okay.
Okay, so the winner
of this battle is...
The act that I would
really like to take through.
Even past the Knockouts.
Which is a big statement.
And so the winner
of the battle tonight...
is Emmanuel.
Emmanuel is the shy guy.
I think it's half of his charm.
Because it makes what he does
when he opens his mouth...
and sing even more impressive.
I like your deep voice.
It's becoming kind of a thing
- Yeah.
All this attention is
not something I'm used to.
If you're like that when you sing...
I don't think you need to be
the biggest chatterbox in the world.
Because he's bringing something
even more important to the room.
Anyone that could make you
listen to the words more...
than you've ever
listened to them before...
is a brilliant singer
and he's doing that.
With me.
If one shy man can
change a room with a song.
Then he deserves to be in the final.
You got a real
angelic voice and then...
you come out sounding like Mr. T...
and it's really awesome.
I don't think he sounds like
anybody that I know.
That I've heard before.
I mean he's strong in
every area of his range.
everyone thought it was a shy guy...
but then, if you do a performance
like that on TV...
you're not shy,
you just know when to let it out.
I had some time off rehearsal.
And I thought I'd go to my
little brother's school and surprise him.
When I as in the room,
they knew who I was.
It felt amazing,
it made me feel so good inside.
Hi everyone!
It's fantastic to have my brother come in
and all my friends be happy.
I think my brothers were really happy.
I could see that they
were quite proud...
that they had their big bother there.
And it made me feel really good.
Today, I've come back to my University...
to see my friends and family.
Everyone was just like, you know,
screaming and you know...
Every week I'm watching it
and I'm rooting for him.
I love seeing Emmanuel on stage.
It's so cool,
like you know...
having all of you here
and I'm who I am...
because of the help of you guys.
There's a lot of progress in Emmanuel...
I'm very proud of him.
Do you see how deep his voice
is compared to mine?
Because of Ricky and the public
and the experience...
I believe in myself so much more now.
I'm so excited, I can't wait.
The amazing Emmanuel.
He's got the grace and
the voice of an angel.
And he's got a gift that I know
in the past he's found it...
hard to express but...
you're expressing it now and over
this competition you've...
even the last week you've really
come alive mate.
I'm just so glad you're here in the final.
and you deserve
to be in the final.
And I know you wouldn't say it.
For two of you
the competition ends here.
This is it.
the first artist chosen by the public...
to stay in the competition
and sing on is...
it's Lucy!
Lucy, congratulations!
The second artist to stay in
the competition and sing on is...
Stevie!
