HOST: Welcome to The
Voice, a singing
competition like no other.
Because our superstar judges are
only using their superstar
ears to pick out the
next amazing voice.
Finally, a singing competition
that's
entirely about your voice.
No distractions, and
no cheap gimmicks.
Right, judges?
JUDGES: Right.
HOST: OK.
Let's get started, as our first
contestant makes his way
to the stage.
Let's listen for the voice.
[TAP-DANCING]
JUDGE 1: Wow.
Listen to that voice.
JUDGE 2: It's an incredible
voice.
JUDGE 3: It's an
amazing voice.
HOST: Is that even
a voice at all?
[CROWD CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: OK.
I think there's been
some confusion.
This contestant was not
using his voice.
He was making sound with another
part of his body.
JUDGE 1: You can make sound with
other parts of your body?
HOST: Yes, of course you can
make sound with lots of
different parts of your body.
Show them how you made sound,
contestant number one.
JUDGE 2: What you're saying
is that is not a voice?
HOST: No.
That is not a voice.
Contestant number one
is making tapping
sounds with his feet.
JUDGES: Oh.
HOST: Yes.
A voice is what I'm using
to speak right now.
Can everyone hear
the difference?
JUDGES: Yes.
HOST: Great.
Then everyone spin around, and
we'll bring in the next
contestant.
OK, Let's listen
for the voice.
[WHISTLING]
JUDGE 1: Now that's
an awesome voice.
JUDGE 2: An astonishing voice.
JUDGE 3: Jeepers.
Listen to that beautiful
voice!
HOST: Oh, come on!
That doesn't sound like
a voice at all.
What sound is it?
[CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: OK.
It seems like we're not getting
something, here.
Again, that wasn't a voice.
JUDGE 1: You're right.
That wasn't a voice.
That was the voice.
HOST: No, no.
It wasn't a voice at all.
It was whistling.
JUDGES: Oh.
HOST: A voice is what you hear
when you sing or you speak.
Like I'm doing right now.
Hear me raising my voice?
JUDGES: Yes.
HOST: Great.
Then turn your chairs around
and we'll bring in the next
contestant.
Listen for their voice.
[FARTING SOUNDS]
JUDGE 1: Now that's
a unique voice.
JUDGE 2: Oh, a startling
voice.
JUDGE 3: A phenomenal voice.
HOST: You've gotta
be kidding me.
What sound is that?
[CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: That wasn't a voice!
She just put her hand under
her armpit like this!
OK?
Not a voice.
What I'm yelling at you
with, that is a voice.
Got it?
JUDGES: Yeah.
HOST: Good.
Then turn around--
wait!
Don't turn around.
Just get out of the chairs,
and I'll turn
them around for you.
If you want something done right
on this show, you have
to do it yourself.
Whoa!
Ahhhh!
JUDGE 3: What a powerful
voice.
JUDGE 2: What a strong voice.
JUDGE 1: What a loud voice.
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: I need to find
another show!
ZAC EFRON: The word patience
means to wait in a calm way.
ELMO: Yes.
ZAC EFRON: Now, Elmo really
wants to play basketball.
ELMO: Yes, Elmo does.
ZAC EFRON: But look at Elmo.
He's waiting in a calm way.
So he's showing--
ELMO: Patience.
ZAC EFRON: That's it, man.
There you go.
ELMO: Is it a grimace?
CHICKEN: Oh my goodness, yes!
It's a great grimace!
A great, great, great,
great grimace!
ED HELMS: Ow!
ELMO: What's wrong?
CHICKEN: Oh, look
at that grimace!
That is a glorious grimace!
ELMO: When does Mr.
Ed make that face?
ED HELMS: When a giant chicken
just jumped on my toe.
ELMO: Oh.
CHICKEN: Oops.
Uh, sorry.
