The Voice UK is back on ITV this Saturday night with its first semi-final performances and song choices.
After the blind auditions and battles, there’s just one performance between the acts and a place in the live shows.
Presented by Emma Willis, this weekend the first 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 performances and song choices below!
