  2. What's Jolan's take on the winner's single?published at 20:28 BST 9 April 2016

    Quote Message

    It's great - it's catchy. I just sort of tried to put a classically soulful vibe on what is probably considered quite a current pop song. I've heard bits and bobs and it works, so I'm happy with it.

    Jolan

  3. "What's this I hear about a winner's single?"published at 20:27 BST 9 April 2016

    Tonight you'll get to hear the final two - Jolan and Kevin - perform the winner's single, All You Good Friends.

    And before you go Googling the original version (other search engines are available), stop right there - this is an original composition produced by Peter-John Vettese who has worked with big chart hitters including Sia and James Bay. Each act has their own tailored version of the song - there's no one-size fits all approach here.

    At least 20p from the sale of each download and at least 50% of Universal Music's receipts from each stream will go to Comic Relief - so it's gotta be worth a download after the show, right?

  4. What would Lydia's first album sound like?published at 20:27 BST 9 April 2016

    We can definitely expect LOADS more from this runner-up!

    Quote Message

    My first album is gonna sound futuristic and urban pop. It's going to be a fresh sound.

    Lydia Lucy

    And who would Lydia invite to feature on it with her?

    Quote Message

    Will, and Justin Bieber!

  6. Goodbye is ridiculously hard to say sometimes...published at 20:26 BST 9 April 2016

    At the final hurdle, we're saying goodbye to Lydia and to Cody. But they've smashed it at every turn. 

    You really couldn't blame us for saying this has been the closest final yet.

    Quote Message

    You know what... I've love every single moment on this show and I've loved the chance to work with this man

    Lydia

    Quote Message

    I believe in Lydia so much. I'm going to do a free show in London, and Lydia you will perform with me! We have to make sure we have a superstar in the top ten. I'm going to try and make that work for Lydia.

  13. "It's my job to bring out what they don't realise they've got"published at 20:10 BST 9 April 2016

    Vocal coach with the most Jay Henry has been working closely with the Finalists to bring the best out of their already amazing voices - so who better to ask about just how good the final four are?

    Quote Message

    I've been doing this for five years and I think that these are some of the best singers I've actually heard... They're artists. Out of all the series, these are the best singers.

    Jay Henry, Voice UK vocal coach

    Quote Message

    Sometimes you hear great voices and you think 'is it just me?', but the public are even seeing it, and they're hearing it.

    So how does Jay bring out the best in the performers?

    Quote Message

    I believe in maximising the individual's singers' talents; no matter where they're at, they've always got something more to give... I think because they do a lot of covers, it's easy for me to look at a song and stretch it even more. With these guys, they've got so much ability it's endless. Whatever idea I come with, I know they can meet it.

  14. Meghan Trainor's herepublished at 20:10 BST 9 April 2016

    And she's performing her new single No. Inspiration for our soon-to-be-crowned winner perhaps?

  17. Who gave Kevin a surprise massage?published at 20:08 BST 9 April 2016

    A bit of bonus Voice backstage gossip for you!

    Quote Message

    I was in the V-Room, just on my phone during the show checking my Tweets, when someone came up [and started] massaging my back. I thought it was Jolan because it felt like someone with big hands, so I didn't even pay any attention - I just thought he was giving me a nice massage - and it was Will! I turned round and he was like "hey Kev!"

    Opinion has been split between you guys as to whether will.i.am in a pram was genius... or just pure scary!

    What would Lydia show Will back home in Essex? "I think I'd have to take him back to Grandma Dotty's for a cup of tea and a bit of Sugar Hut!"

    Kevin reveals his sister was half an hour late to her own wedding, so singing there was a snip, compared to The Voice UK Final!

    "So cute! My brother gave me a kiss on the cheek for the first time, which doesn't happen," Cody shares when asked about her trip back home.
