The Voice UK is back on ITV tonight with its second round of semi-final performances.
After the blind auditions and battles, just one performance stands between the remaining acts and a place in the live final.
Presented by Emma Willis, this weekend the second half of the remaining 24 acts sing.
Coaches Sir Tom Jones, Olly Murs, Anne-Marie and will.i.am can pick only one act from their teams to progress in the competition, so there are some tough decisions to make.
See a first look at the contestants and performances below as well as the songs they’re singing!
