[00:32:20]JUST DON'T FORSAKE [music] IT BECAUSE NO ONE can tell YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO. No one can stop you. You know that I'm talking TO YOU.

[00:32:30]WHEN THERE'S NO ONE >> [singing] >> ELSE, LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF.

[00:32:38]YOU SEE LIFE COME ROLLING >> [screaming] [cheering] [screaming] [cheering] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, >> [cheering] >> IT'S RUTH.

[00:33:22]>> [cheering] [applause] >> OH, RUTH. [cheering] OH MY GOODNESS, YOU DIDN'T JUST sing that.

[00:33:32]>> [cheering] >> You lived it. And I can see from the emotion how how are you feeling? Um I'm actually really happy to be in the semi-finals.

[00:33:42]And um I think if it wasn't for The Voice, then I don't know where I'd be cuz I really miss my dad.

[00:33:52]I know he would be so so proud of you.

[00:33:55]>> [applause] >> So incredibly proud of you.

[00:33:57]Danny, let's come to you first, please.

[00:33:59]Uh um incredibly emo- emotional performance. You know, I I lost my dad as well.

[00:34:05]And I know what it's like to to stand there and sing about that and have that in your heart.

[00:34:09]Um and that was an amazing performance.

[00:34:11]You know, you found the voice within and I think your voice is one that the UK really can't live without. I think you're going to walk into the final.

[00:34:16][cheering] Will, let's come to you.

[00:34:20]>> [applause] >> I think your dad is proud of you.

[00:34:26]I know he is.

[00:34:27]You sang with so much fire that I was afraid that this torch was going to catch on fire because >> [laughter] >> And it was you just super super dope.

[00:34:37]Like really really dope.

[00:34:38]>> [cheering] >> Thank you Jessie. [applause] I just want to say what a pleasure it's been getting to know Ruth. I've got to know you in the last few weeks and and watching your VT and seeing how proud your family are of you and you know what? Coming into a competition like this is so hard and it's so emotional and there are moments when you sing, there's moments where your voice literally fills up every single bit of the air. Do you know what I mean?

[00:35:06]It's so water so rich like there's moments of genius and I can't wait to be coming to your sellout shows at Wembley.

[00:35:13]I'm going to be there.

[00:35:16]>> [applause] >> TOMMY, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT RUTH ONCE said that nobody noticed her until she sings. Well, they'll certainly sit up and pay attention now.

[00:35:24]>> Yeah. Definitely. But you know, I mean I wouldn't notice Ruth anyway. She's a beautiful girl to start with.

[00:35:30]And >> [cheering] >> He's getting a bit early now Tom. But easy now. Come on.

[00:35:34]No, no, I mean that in all sincerity, honestly. But you know, when you have a a voice like Ruth has got, you know, she may think that that she was invisible before until she starts to sing and that does change everything because your personality comes across so strong that people they always look at you in a different way. I mean I I'm not blowing my own trumpet, but when I first started off in Wales and I would be going into places and and you know, to try and talk to people sometimes is is difficult. But once you start to open up with your voice, all of a sudden people look at you in a different way because you have, thank God, this amazing talent. So that's why things change when Ruth sings.

[00:36:16]THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. [applause] RUTH, thank you so much for opening the show so beautifully. Give it UP FOR RUTH.

[00:36:24]>> [cheering and applause] >> TWO STUNNING [applause] SINGERS FROM Team Tom, but only one can perform again next week. Ruth and Leanne, the wait is over.

[00:36:41]>> [cheering] >> The one and only artist from Team Tom to have secured a place in the final is >> [cheering] >> Leanne.

[00:37:03]>> [music] >> Congratulations, Leanne. You are through TO THE FINAL TO REPRESENT TEAM TOM.

[00:37:14]>> [applause] >> LEANNE, [cheering] well done. Off you go. CONGRATULATIONS. WELL DONE.

[00:37:20]>> [applause] >> WELL DONE, RUTH.

[00:37:28]>> [applause] >> OKAY, RUTH. LET'S LET'S [cheering] TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR time on The Voice.

[00:37:35]Well, I think Ruth was born to sing.

[00:37:38]You make me proud to even be here.

[00:37:42]She just reminds me of so many singers I listen [music] to growing up.

[00:37:45]She just naturally is that good.

[00:37:51]Yeah.

[00:37:51]>> [cheering] [music] >> That note did it for me. I love your style. Your voice is insane.

[00:37:58]>> [screaming] >> You're 19 years old. I don't know how old your soul is, child.

[00:38:04]Every time this kid sings, she gives me chills. I mean, it's unbelievable. One thing I'll take away from The Voice is my self-belief.

[00:38:13]I've noticed a change in Ruth. She's [music] got more confidence. I wanted to have me back and sing.

[00:38:20]I'm a clothing I feel like a musician I don't feel like a singer anymore.

[00:38:25]The best moment I have on The Voice is when the audience are really showing support. Take it in.

[00:38:31]That's like the best feeling you can get.

[00:38:34]Whatever I can do to help this girl, I will do.

[00:38:37]>> [cheering and applause] >> You really did a great job. Your father would be proud of you.

[00:38:43]I got involved in this show to find people just like you.

[00:38:47]She will definitely be a star.

[00:38:50]>> [music] [cheering] >> Ruth, I'm just so sad to see you leaving at this competition.

[00:38:58]I just cannot tell you. You can see the standing ovation in the studio tonight. You have grown [cheering] so much, not just as a performer, but as a person throughout this.

[00:39:10]Have you enjoyed it? Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

[00:39:12]>> [applause] >> And Tom, I know that this is going to be a tough goodbye for you as well, because there has been something about Ruth throughout this whole competition that has moved you. Well, Ruth is a great singer.

[00:39:23]You know, and she's she's a wonderful person, and this is she would be a star, and I will make sure of that. You know, I'm going to This [cheering] girl >> [applause] >> THIS GIRL HAS GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL, I'm telling you. I know it. I feel it.

[00:39:37]And I I'm going to make sure I'm going to do everything that I can possibly do to help this girl. She means [cheering] something special.

[00:39:44]How does it feel to hear that? It's really [applause] amazing.

[00:39:48]Well, you are truly amazing. Thank you so much for being part of this competition. [applause] It's what it's all about. Everybody, give it up one final TIME FOR RUTH.

[00:39:57]>> [cheering] [applause] [cheering] [applause] >> THIS IS MY TIME.

[00:40:13]YEAH.
