Team will.i.am and Team Rita Ora are ready and raring for the quarter finals after both coaches secured their final three singers tonight.

Their three remaining singers have beaten the spinning chairs, hopped into the ring for the battle rounds and have tonight survived the knockouts. Now they just need to win, then hopefully break the mould and mix things up in the music charts. No pressure, then.

But Saturday was a sadly a night of goodbyes. Eight went down to three in both teams and some pretty swell singers were shown the door. Sadly this included the stunning YouTube sensation Esmeé Denters and returning auditionee Ryan Green.

So here's a rundown of the first six quarter-finalists, with a little reminder of their vocals:
