Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first live show of the second series of the Voice Idol Factor.

Last week, the four Voice Idol Factor judges were announced, given their categories and picked their six acts each. The show wouldn't be complete without the Live Playoffs which brought our top 24 down to our 16 acts tonight where we saw interesting fast pass decision, shocking public vote outcome and some strategic judges' vote in the way to cut down eight acts. The new sacrifice twist was explained and will be open for use until the Quarterfinals.

Speaking of tonight, it's the first live show! The top 16 will be battling for your votes for the very first time, and it's not just an ordinary battle either. The theme is*All Around the World, where each act will take us around the world in a road trip you wouldn't forget. Ofcourse at the end of tonight's trip, two acts would not be able to make it to the next destination.

For now, let me introduce to you the Voice Idol Factor judges and your top 16.

Ethan won't be here until the results, but I've got his comments so you won't be missing out on those. Are the rest of you here and ready to go?

Nic is already here, I guess Jack and Steve could catch-up when they get here. Let's get to the point shall we? We've got a lot of acts to go through, so the sooner we start the better.*We have a lot of countries to visit tonight.

First up, it's the Over 25s. Kicking of our spectacular first live show, it's Nicholas David
