Yahoo News The Voice UK confirms this year's Battles line-up
With the Blind Auditions now fully wrapped up, The Voice UK has confirmed which contestants are primed to impress their coaches in the Battles.
Sir Tom Jones (or Woodward, should we say), will.i.am, Meghan Trainor and Olly Murs have each selected 10 singers to represent them on stage, with a couple of bands mixed in there for good measure.
As ever, we have some dark horses in contention, but are there any genuine favourites this early in the competition?

Waiting in the wings on Tom's team this year is Olly's old friend Lara George - who performed a Jess Glynne track in her original audition - as is ShezAr, Zion, Lara Anstead, 30-year-old Sean Connolly, Elly O'Keeffe, Lois Moodie, Jonny Brooks, mental health recovery worker Vivienne Isebor and Shaun Samonini.
Olly, meanwhile, will be hoping that one of his performers can secure him a second winner's medal in a row this year: Cameo Williams, Ty Lewis, music student Alan Chan, girl group Belle Noir, Cat Cavelli, Brian Corbett, Blessing Chitapa, Bleu Woodward, Beryl McCormack and Millie Bowell.
Black Eyed Peas legend Will has a three-piece soul band called So Diva, Baby Sol, Doug Sure, 17-year-old student Gevanni Hutton, Johannes Pietsch, Lucy Calcines, Zindzi Thomas, Alia Lara, Shauna Byrne and Irish trio Evergreen all vying to win the record deal.
And in her debut series as a coach, Meghan has an eclectic line-up indeed: Brooke Scullion, teenager Trinity-Leigh Cooper, Blaize China, Ireland's Katie and Aoife, Oli Ross, Jordan Phillips, student Darci Wilders, Holly Scally, Dean John-Wilson and the spectacular Claudillea Holloway.
Bring on the Battles.
The Voice UK returns on ITV next Saturday (February 22).
