Louis Walsh introduces Voices With Soul as "Unbelievable talent... three amazing girls!"

Stylist Faye Sawyer has been working on the girls’ look. During the week she took them on a visit to a top hairdresser and one of the first things he does is get rid of Hilda’s wig. "It has to go!" he exclaims, which sends Grace into fits of laughter.

Tonight is definitely a good hair day as they take the stage; they each have an attractive new look. They sing the classic motown number ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ [Marvin Gaye and Tammie Terrell].

The girls look confident; they move well on stage and give it plenty of ooomph. All three girls really do have great voices. The audience is loving it and dancing in the aisles, but what about those judges?

Well Louis loved it, he skips onto the stage to stand with the girls. He’s smiling broadly and clapping like crazy. The audience is excited and Kate Thornton has to try to settle them down so we can hear Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne have their say.

Sharon: Yes! What can I say? I mean the transformation! We all knew that you could sing, but the transformation...you look like stars, you sound like stars. I just adore you. I really do, you’re so (audience cheers) I adore you. Three divas!

Kate: Three Divas? But does Simon Cowell agree?

Simon: Well I think I was the first person to spot these were talented...(Groans From Sharon, Yawns from Louis, Laughter From Kate!)... I was...Yes I was! But Louis...I have to give Louis a compliment here because I think probably since, the first time since he worked with me on Westlife...Louis Walsh actually has an amazing group here (Louis’ jaw is gaping)...I mean fantastic (he smiles)...I can’t fault that.

Kate: Thank you Simon. So Louis, not at all what you were expecting to hear from your rival?

Louis: Not what I expected Kate. But what a fantastic start to this show. And people say there’s no talent in these shows! Fantastic! Simon, for once you’re right...

Kate: (To the girls) Ladies, you were expecting so much tonight, but I’m guessing not ‘that’?

Hilda: Well...I’m glad that our image has appealed to Simon.

Simon: I spotted you...just remember that!

Sharon: Oh he’s so full of crap! Give me a break!

Simon: Okay...I think it was me...

Kate: Whatever!

Grace: Simon...we’ve got you to thank for our looks and our figures baby! (She wiggles her hips and laughs)

As the girls leave the stage they must be thrilled with the comments they received and the audience reaction.
