Cassius Henry and David Faulkner were the first members of Team Jessie J to perform on tonight’s Battle Rounds show.
Cassius previously wowed the coaches at his blind audition with his rendition of Ne-Yo’s ‘Closer’. They all wanted him for their team, but he opted shoot for his big second chance with the Domino hitmaker.
Shy construction worker David surprised the panel with his emotional version of ‘Superstition’ by Stevie Wonder but he turned down offers from The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue and Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am and Tom Jones and opted to work with the youngest and only female coach on the show.

The Welsh singer tried out for the BBC show earlier this year and after an amazing rendition of ‘Superstition’, persuaded all four panelists to turn and offer him a place on their team.

David Faulkner made his TV debut on The Voice tonight and was one of the only people who had never been on our screens before, either on another talent show, or as part of a formerly famous group.

Singer songwriter David Faulkner will be one of the hopefuls, hoping he can make an impression on this Saturday’s episode of The Voice.
Actually, the hat wearing crooner tried out for the BBC show in London earlier this year and on this weekend’s second episode of the series, audiences will find out if he has ‘The Voice’ and is good enough to be chosen by Jessie J, Tom Jones, Will.i.am or Danny O’Donoghue for their teams and if he will go on to face the Battle Rounds.
