What a great experience. We did Jools Holland, had a number one album, performed on The Brits. We pretty much toured everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI left the band, I felt I was the sidekick of The Streets. I don\u2019t want to be Robin anymore. I want to be Batman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think some people will be surprised I am on this show but who cares? Doing a show like The Voice is a fantastic opportunity for me to showcase myself as a singer songwriter rather than that guy from The Streets. Stepping out onto that stage is going to be a lonely affair but I think I am ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Leo performed \u2018Holding Back The Years\u2019 both Kylie Minogue and Tom Jones turned to offer him a place in their team.<br \/>\nTom said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou sound like a professional singer. Being as strong in falsetto as you are in full voice, that\u2019s great. Another thing is, you wouldn\u2019t only be an asset to my team, you would be the only male which is an advantage. We could do duets together, we could smash it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kylie couldn\u2019t quite compose herself though and it seems she might have a bit of a crush on the handsome Londoner.<\/p>\n<p>After hiding behind the chairs in a bid to pull her thoughts together, the Kylie emerged and said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the first time I had to hide for a start. It\u2019s hard for me to compete with Sir Tom but all I can say is that we would have a good time together. It\u2019s a bonus that this is the package\u2026.shut up Minogue! You sound amazing, you have dazzled me with the voice alone and then the rest. It could be interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end Leo made his choice saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir Tom you are a legend but you have got to excuse me because I have fancied Charlene since I was this high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/6539\/leo-ihenacho-from-the-streets-wowed-kylie-minogue-on-the-voice-uk-2014-blind-auditions-with-holding-back-the-years\/\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1805371;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leo Ihenacho wowed Kylie Minogue on The Voice UK blind auditions with his d\u00e9but performance.
