Will.i.am shares The Voice regret after judges fail to turn

Will.i.am admitted The Voice judges may have made a mistake after they failed to turn for one act on Saturday night.

Zara had the audience members up on their feet during her performance, yet none of the judges decided to turn their chairs for the 10-year-old.

After she had finished singing, the judges praised the youngster, with Will.i.am admitting he was upset he didn’t turn his chair.

“Zara, you are amazing,” the Black Eyed Peas rapper explained. “And I’m really upset that collectively we didn’t turn.”

“Audience, do you think we should have turned?” he asked as they all shouted “yes” back.

“Did we make a mistake?” he added as Zara simply replied: “Yes.”

Ronan Keating chimed in: “You did amazingly well, did you have fun?”

“Yes, lots of fun,” Zara added as Ronan said: “That is excellent, that is the main thing.”

Zara went on to explain to the coaches she lived on a farm in Cheshire.

She said: “I’ve got three alpaca that are called Patsy, Eddie, and Saffron.

“And I have lots of sheep and lots of chickens and my four favourite are called Pixie, Will, Keating, and Danny.”

“I am named after a chicken?” Danny Jones replied before realising his mistake.

Pixie Lott and Ronan echoed: “No, a chicken is named after you.”

Sharing her thoughts on Zara’s performance, Pixie stated: “It sounded like you had so much fun, everyone in here was dancing.

“And also you did this little yodel thing at the end which is so cool.”

Ronan added: “You’re 10 years of age, it is only the beginning. You’ve got so much potential, that was amazing.”

The Voice Kids returns on Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV.
