HOST: Welcome to The Voice, a singing
competition like no other.
Because our superstar judges are only using their superstar
ears to pick out the next amazing voice.
Finally, a singing competition that's
entirely about your voice.
No distractions, and no cheap gimmicks.
Right, judges?
JUDGES: Right.
HOST: OK.
Let's get started, as our first contestant makes his way
to the stage.
Let's listen for the voice.
[TAP-DANCING]
JUDGE 1: Wow.
Listen to that voice.
JUDGE 2: It's an incredible voice.
JUDGE 3: It's an amazing voice.
HOST: Is that even a voice at all?
[CROWD CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: OK.
I think there's been some confusion.
This contestant was not using his voice.
He was making sound with another part of his body.
JUDGE 1: You can make sound with other parts of your body?
HOST: Yes, of course you can make sound with lots of
different parts of your body.
Show them how you made sound, contestant number one.
JUDGE 2: What you're saying is that is not a voice?
HOST: No.
That is not a voice.
Contestant number one is making tapping
sounds with his feet.
JUDGES: Oh.
HOST: Yes.
A voice is what I'm using to speak right now.
Can everyone hear the difference?
JUDGES: Yes.
HOST: Great.
Then everyone spin around, and we'll bring in the next
contestant.
OK, Let's listen for the voice.
[WHISTLING]
JUDGE 1: Now that's an awesome voice.
JUDGE 2: An astonishing voice.
JUDGE 3: Jeepers.
Listen to that beautiful voice!
HOST: Oh, come on!
That doesn't sound like a voice at all.
What sound is it?
[CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: OK.
It seems like we're not getting something, here.
Again, that wasn't a voice.
JUDGE 1: You're right.
That wasn't a voice.
That was the voice.
HOST: No, no.
It wasn't a voice at all.
It was whistling.
JUDGES: Oh.
HOST: A voice is what you hear when you sing or you speak.
Like I'm doing right now.
Hear me raising my voice?
JUDGES: Yes.
HOST: Great.
Then turn your chairs around and we'll bring in the next
contestant.
Listen for their voice.
[FARTING SOUNDS]
JUDGE 1: Now that's a unique voice.
JUDGE 2: Oh, a startling voice.
JUDGE 3: A phenomenal voice.
HOST: You've gotta be kidding me.
What sound is that?
[CHEERING]
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: That wasn't a voice!
She just put her hand under her armpit like this!
OK?
Not a voice.
What I'm yelling at you with, that is a voice.
Got it?
JUDGES: Yeah.
HOST: Good.
Then turn around--
wait!
Don't turn around.
Just get out of the chairs, and I'll turn
them around for you.
If you want something done right on this show, you have
to do it yourself.
Whoa!
Ahhhh!
JUDGE 3: What a powerful voice.
JUDGE 2: What a strong voice.
JUDGE 1: What a loud voice.
JUDGES: We found the voice.
HOST: I need to find another show!
ZAC EFRON: The word patience means to wait in a calm way.
ELMO: Yes.
ZAC EFRON: Now, Elmo really wants to play basketball.
ELMO: Yes, Elmo does.
ZAC EFRON: But look at Elmo.
He's waiting in a calm way.
So he's showing--
ELMO: Patience.
ZAC EFRON: That's it, man.
There you go.
ELMO: Is it a grimace?
CHICKEN: Oh my goodness, yes!
It's a great grimace!
A great, great, great, great grimace!
ED HELMS: Ow!
ELMO: What's wrong?
CHICKEN: Oh, look at that grimace!
That is a glorious grimace!
ELMO: When does Mr. Ed make that face?
ED HELMS: When a giant chicken just jumped on my toe.
ELMO: Oh.
CHICKEN: Oops.
Uh, sorry.
