ITV The Voice fans think they know the 'secret' to getting judges to turn

Fans of The Voice have 'figured out' how to get the judges to turn.

On tonight's show, contestant Harrison James, from Solihull in Birmingham, was looking forward to impressing judge Anne-Marie. He had his mum by his side in the stands as he took to the stage.

The performer said that he was feeling nervous in the footage shown ahead of his performance. His mum asked what he thinks Anne-Marie would think about his song choice, as he replied: "Oh we will have to see."

He went on to explain that he had decided to change up one of the hit singer's songs. Harrison said: "I'm just hoping that I can keep my bottle, feeling the nerves now."

Taking to the stage he belted out his own version of the song 2002. Anne-Marie said: "Oh it's my song" as she realised before adding: "I love it."

All four judges - Anne-Marie, Tom Jones, Will.I.Am and Olly Murs - all turned around to try and get the singer on their team.

Anne Marie addressed the contestant choosing one of her songs. She said: "You singing my song... I don't want that to make you think that's why I turned around. Because if you didn't sing my song I still loved your tone of voice." She added: "I would love to work with you."

Fans on Twitter thought that the positive reaction meant picking a judge's song was a sure way to be liked on the show. Rahim said: "So that's the trick... sing one of the judge's songs and the judges will take it as a bribe #TheVoiceUK."

Another user said: "Singing a judges song just to get them to turn. Not a good thing. Init. #thevoiceuk." Meanwhile, Marie said: "And that's why they sing the judge's songs... #TheVoiceUK."
