She impressed judges on Saturday night's The Voice. As Lucie Marie Closier prepares to go head-to-head in the battles stage, she speaks with Amie Mulderrig

 

Age: 17

Where are you based? 
Loughton, Essex.

Why did you apply for The Voice?
I thought the show was different, I liked the concept of the coaches not actually seeing you just judging you on the voice.

What was the first and last album you bought?
The first album I bought was Busted. I’m a massive Busted fan. The last album I bought was Radio One Live Lounge. It’s my goal to do a Radio 1 Live Lounge.

What’s been your most embarrassing moment? Falling down the stairs at school, I seem to fall over all the time. Le'ts hope I don't in the battles!!

When/how did you discover you could sing, have you always been musical?

My mum and dad knew I could sing when I was two. I used to love Barney the Dinosaur and would sing along to the movie theme tune in my room. I joined a musical theatre company when I was seven and was part of two shows a year. I’ve always loved the stage.

Where was your first live performance, what was the reaction?
It was at the Harlow Playhouse, we did a production of The Wizard of Oz and I sang the company’s signature tune when I was seven. It was my first standing ovation.

How did you feel when the judges turned around? Did you think you were going to be picked?
Elated, as I was on the last day of blind auditions, there wasn’t many spaces left. Ricky left it to the last note to turn around, when he did I was ’totes emosh’.

Would you rather be on another team, if so which?
No way, Ricky’s team all the way. Ricky is the only coach that is growing with the show and is just as nervous as his team.

Which judge is the biggest diva and why? Will... just because he can be!!

What’s in your favourite sandwich? Ham and salad cream yum

How would you describe your sound? Quirky

Cadbury’s crème egg, how do you eat yours? Bite the top, scoop the inside, eat the shell. It's the only way

Who/what are your influences?
Amy Winehouse and Pixie Lott.

How would you describe your look?
TOWIE meets Desperately Seeking Susan

As you prepare to go head-to-head, what fighting words do you have for your opponent?  Oh yes, bring on the battles, no backing down #battlebuzz

Which act and team is going to win The Voice? Team Ricky of course and Jamie Lovatt to be crowned the winner. I've definitely found a friend for life in Jamie.

How would winning The Voice change your life?
It would be a dream come true for me, I’ve been waiting for this, for like, EVER.
