The Voice 2015: Esmee Denters and Vikesh triumph in the second battle round

On an evening when Rita Ora was on the receiving end of audience disapproval for failing to “steal” singer Stephen Cornwell, there were plenty of other moments of excitement for fans to get their teeth into.

Denters, 25-year-old singer, former YouTube sensation, protégée of Justin Timberlake and singer of the Top Ten UK hit Outta Here, had a good night.

She was chosen by Will over Andrew Marc after the two delivered a sensational version of The Police's Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.

Will.i.am seemed to agree. “You are a little fighter,” he told her, reminding the audience that he had known her professionally before. “I’ve known Esmee for years. I didn’t expect to turn and see Esmee. Andrew is a super singer but I think fate brought me Esmee."

Will also made one of the night’s most audacious "steals" when he nabbed Vikesh Champaneri for his team after the singer lost out to Letitia George in the battle to keep their place on Team Ricky.

But perhaps the most popular singers on the night were the young sisters Hannah and Naomi Moxon, known as Classical Reflection.

They lost out to Emmanuel Nwamadi after singing the Mike & The Mechanics hit The Living Years. They were not stolen by any of the other coaches but they took their defeat with excellent grace.

Emmanuel said he had become great friends with the pair during the coaching and Will said of the twins: “You were the guys I was waiting to steal.”

But sadly for Will he had no steals left….
