She's cried after every performance up until the live quarter finals, but on Saturday night Sasha Simone brought the house down without a tear in sight.

Part of Team Tom, she was the sixth contestant to take to to the stage for The Voice's first live shows of the season and earnt herself a standing ovation with her performance of Sail.

Taking on the Awolnation song, the bricklayer also known as 'The Queen of Hearts', left every judge in awe.

The performance of the night? Sasha wowed every judge with her performance on The Voice quarter finals on Saturday night

Rita Ora ended up throwing away the tissues she had waiting for the usually emotional contestant.

She told her, 'You killed it! I needed that. Your dress looks awesome! I'm so happy for you!'

'You're the real deal!' Will said.

Unsurprisingly, it was the Sasha who got the fast track pass to the semi-finals from Tom Jones and turned out to be the only member of team Tom to go through.

Also through to the next round were all three of Will's acts, diva Vikesh, belter Sheena and operatic singer Lucy.

Joining them next week will be Joe the pop star, teen heartthrob on Rita's team, and her Welsh teen mum competitor, Karis.

Ricky's contestants through were deep-voiced Emmanuel and fireman Stevie.

Despite singing a fusion of Ain't No Sunshine and No Diggity with uncharacteristic conviction, hairdresser Clark didn't make it through with the help of the public.

Nor did spoken-word artist Lara Lee whom Will compared to the likes of Lauren Hill and Queen Latifa.

Also missing out was school music teacher Howard, whose rendition of The Killers' Can You Read My Mind? wasn't enough.

And the first singer of the night Autumn also had to say goodbye to her dream of winning the BBC singing competition.
