The Voice 2013: Danny O’Donoghue Fights Dirty With Jessie J Over Lemuel Knights!
The Voice is going to get nasty tomorrow night, as the coaches battle over yet another bunch of talented singers.
Danny O’Donoghue and Jessie J are set to go head to head once more, and the Irish hunk will go as far as to criticise and run down his fellow stars and his own team members in a bid to convince singer Lemuel Knights to join his team.
The talented vocalist previously made it as far as X Factor bootcamp, before being dropped from the ITV show and he’s hoping that he won’t suffer the same fate on it’s BBC rival. Judging by the fervour Danny and Jessie put into their pitches in order to land him, we’d say he’s doing well so far.
We can reveal that all four coaches turn to offer Knights a place in their team but it’s Danny who is most desperate to work with him and he insists:
“I’ve been in the business 15, 16 years, The Script is just the tip of the iceberg.”
He added: “If you go into their teams, statistically you’d have a much worse chance of trying to get out of theirs than you would mine. I don’t have any singer like you on my team.”
Jessie isn’t amused by his comments (which we warn you go on for a while) and she insists that Danny is criticising the singers in his own team, just so he can win Knights over.
The Domino hitmaker gets pretty upset and tells her pal:
“That’s not nice to put the singers down that you have taken through, who can sing like that.”
The jibes provoke Jessie to bicker with him before Will.i.am steps in and says: ‘Mummy and Daddy is always fighting.'
However, much as they may battle on the show, Danny is actually very protective of his pal Jessie and has defended her on various occasions this year.
He takes offence at the ‘Laserlight’ singer being branded a diva and after calling her an ‘angel’ on Twitter he told Look magazine:
“Jessie J’s amazing. She’s just getting bigger and better and stronger. I love her, she’s so inspiring and to have a wonderful singer like that, someone who’s so so good around you all the time is great – you get really inspired by her.”
A collaboration between the pair isn’t off the cards either and he added:
“We’ve talked about working together, we talked about it on the first series. It just so happens that me and Will got into the studio together. But yeah, I can imagine her doing a song with Will, me doing a song with her, me and Tom doing a song… so you never know.”

Devotees Of Music
SINGAPORE - Irish trio The Script mean business when it comes to music - "If music was a religion, we'd be the most devout followers there are."
So much so that even when the band - made up of frontman Danny O'Donoghue, drummer Glen Power and guitarist Mark Sheehan - are not on tour, music is the only thing on their minds.
When LOUD spoke to the band hours before their show here on March 29, O'Donoghue, 32, said that they can be found in the studio writing when they are not busy jetting off for shows.
"We used to have a lot of time to do that - write in the studio and wishing we were on tour," he said. "Now we're touring so much, it's rare that we're in one place just to write."
Their solution?
Tour the world and continue writing at the same time.
"We never stop writing and we do that when we have some down time."
If all goes well, fans can expect a new album from the band sooner than they think, although there are no definite plans yet.
But for now, the band are still enjoying the high from their successful third record, aptly named #3.
The 2012 album peaked at No. 2 on the Official Charts Company album chart.
Six months after #3 was released, the band are still in disbelief at its success.
"It's hard to come to terms with it, I can't even explain it," said O'Donoghue.
"To have one album go big the way it did was amazing and now we have three. It felt just like yesterday when we were sitting with our fingers crossed, not knowing how our album would do. And now we are in Singapore. We're blessed, it's been an absolute dream."
Their debut album The Script and their second, Science & Faith, have enjoyed top position on the same chart.
The Script seem to know the formula for commercial success very well. Right from the start, their earlier singles, like Breakeven, were well-received and remain one the fans' favourites today.
Do they long to break away from Breakeven?
"We never get sick of it," said O'Donoghue. "It doesn't matter who you play it to, every night we sing it, it's different and it means something more.
"I think a band's downfall is to stop playing the songs they are well-known for."
Like Breakeven, the members admit that most of their songs tap on a personal vein.
When it comes to pouring their hearts out, The Script have no regrets at all.
"It's like therapy. The deeper you get into what you went through, the better the music is. We don't regret it at all, no," the frontman said.
The band certainly had their hearts on their sleeves when they played here, their emotions all the more apparent as they sang hits such as We Cry, Breakeven, The Man Who Can't Be Moved, If You Ever Come Back and Hall of Fame.
The Script will play a show in Brisbane, Australia, later tonight before they play the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK in June.
O'Donoghue is also busy with reality television competition The Voice UK 2, where he returns as a coach with Will.i.am, Jessie J and Tom Jones.
"Expect better contestants than in the previous season," he said. "The coaches are also better as we are more relaxed. It's almost like being in a band with them - we're competitive and we have four separate opinions but I think that is important."

Danny O'Donoghue In Trouble For Flirting
YOU’D think it would be Jessie J giving The Voice bosses a headache... But I can reveal that it’s actually Danny O’Donoghue who’s causing migraines.
The Script frontman, 32, was given an almighty dressing down by show producers for going AWOL during filming – because he was busy FLIRTING backstage.
Danny O'Donoghue has become the resident flirt on the set of The Voice - and it's landed him in big trouble with producers.
The Dublin-born and raised Script frontman recently had a major telling off after he held up shooting because he was too busy chatting up girls backstage.
Danny left his fellow judges and the crew, not to mention the 200-strong audience, waiting for more than half an hour while he tried out his best lines on a few lucky ladies.
Like an excited labrador Danny enthusiastically bounded backstage to congratulate chuffed Conor, 18, on his performance – but was more bowled over by his attractive sisters.
Danny has been playing the field after splitting from model girlfriend Irma Mali last year, although he’s rumoured to have dated former contestant Bo Bruce.
Since joining the BBC talent show panel the 6ft 3in heartthrob is a household name and enjoys the fame that comes with it.
It all kicked off when the singer headed backstage to congratulate an Irish contestant called Conor after a blind audition, only to get sidetracked by the teen's beautiful sisters.
A source says, "Some pretty girls caught Danny's eye backstage and he couldn't resist trying to impress them. He got so caught up with schmoozing, telling jokes and flirting that he conveniently 'forgot' all about the competition and his duties.
"Producers were absolutely furious and told him his attention span wasn't up to scratch. It's expensive to hire a TV studio and he kept everyone waiting, including the other celeb mentors. He bleated that he'd lost track of time."
The 32 year old has been enjoying the single life since splitting from his model girlfriend Irma Mali last year (12), and he was even linked to his former Voice contestant Bo Bruce.
But who can blame him for relishing the attention?! He's even admitted he loves turning down gorgeous girls, who would never have given him the time of day if they didn't recognise him off the telly.
Danny once said, "I get to say 'no' to some of the most beautiful girls in the world, who would not have come anywhere near me if I was not in the band. They would not have looked twice at me in the past - maybe even slapped me across the face if I'd approached them in a club."
Remember Danny's flirting last year? Here's a quick reminder:

Interview With The Voice Coach Danny O’Donoghue
The Script singer talks to us about what we can expect from The Voice this series, how he keeps fit and healthy on tour, plus his top tips for relaxing
Danny O’Donoghue, 32, is the lead vocalist and songwriter for The Script and is a coach on BBC1’s The Voice. We caught up with the handsome singer and quizzed him about the show, upcoming projects and how he keeps healthy despite a busy schedule.
Are you excited about the second series of The Voice?
Really excited! We had 30,000 people audition this year, and the standard has really gone up now that people have seen the show. It’s an incredible thing to be involved in.
You came across as very passionate on screen last year…
I’m probably the most passionate out of all the coaches. I’m definitely the most invested. That’s just me. Everything I get involved in is the same. The other coaches are great of course. Everyone has their own strong points – will.i.am, everyone thinks he’s the quirky mastermind, but I know him as a good mate. Jessie J – I believe she’s an incredible inspiration to a lot of young people who really want to follow their dreams. And Tom Jones – well, he’s a legend.
Any surprises to come on the show?
Loads! We’ve been fighting a lot more this season over artists, and there have been many more instances
when the four of us have turned for the one artist. We’re a family but like most families you get the best fights.
As for The Script – you guys seem to be on fire at the moment! How does it feel to be doing so well?
Incredible! It’s great that we’re being celebrated for what we’ve always wanted – our music.
You seem very busy. How do you make sure you stay healthy on tour?
I bring my boxing equipment with me. I took up boxing around two years ago as it’s very similar to being on the stage – you have three-and-half-minute rounds – about the same time as a song lasts, then you have a 30-second rest period.
And about an hour before we go on stage, I do a lot of light stretching and warming up – muscles need to be really supple for the type of performances we give. Otherwise I’d stay L-shaped from all that sitting down on planes, trains and automobiles!
It’s hard to eat healthily on tour, but I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the hectic touring schedule if I was eating a lot of fast food.
Finally, how do you relax?
I watch football - my team is Manchester United. I love nothing better than sitting back on the couch on a Sunday when there’s no one else around, in my pjs, watching my team.

Danny O’Donoghue Using The Voice To Find A Girlfriend? Let The Denim See…..More Denim!
Danny O’Donoghue is reportedly ready to settle down and has decided that he wants to find himself a willing woman on The Voice.
The Script star has been single ever since he broke up with his model girlfriend during last year’s series of the BBC show and insiders have told Now magazine that he is using his time as a coach to weed out potential partners.
The so called source suggested that the ‘Hall Of Fame’ hitmaker has been acting as if he is appearing on ITV’s dating show ‘Take Me Out’ and told Now:
“Danny thinks another singer will understand him better, so it’s like he’s turning the show into his version of Take Me Out.”
Let the quiff see the hair gel, let the denim see the slightly different shade of denim, let the pout see the lip balm…..
The insider continued:
“Of course he’s putting his search for singing talent first, but he’s keeping his eyes open for attractive ladies too.”
“He’s only just got back from touring with The Script so he reckons finding love on the show would be perfect because he doesn’t have time to meet woman.”
We aren’t sure if the insider means Danny is open to dating contestants, or if he’s supposedly looking for love with audience members. Either way, we don’t see it as being very likely.
Although we can see where the story is coming from, as Dan did confess recently that he would consider dating one of his team members and explained:
“I wouldn’t rule out dating a fan or a contestant, no I wouldn’t.”
However, after he admitted that he played up stories of a romance between himself and Bo Bruce last year, in order to boost her record sales, we aren’t sure how much of his claims are true and how much is just posturing in an attempt to grab headlines.
Meanwhile, it seems that Dan the man is taking his role as a coach very seriously these days and he hit out at reports that he had abandoned his hopeful singers after the battle rounds.
The Irish hunk is currently touring in Australia with his band but he insists that he is keeping in constant contact with his finalists and tweeted.
“Ever heard of Skype , Internet and mobile phones. Your never far away. I’ve spent more time with Team Danny then i have my family #dedication”
“I had members of my team,most dates on the stage with me , singing songs during soundchecks and learning the ropes backstage #thatscoaching”

Script Frontman Reveals Cringe Worthy Moment In Front Of McCartney
Danny O'Donoghue embarrassed himself when The Script supported Sir Paul McCartney.
The 32-year-old singer and his band were playing a show with the former Beatles icon in four years ago, and it resulted in one of his most cringe worthy career moments.
He said: "We performed at Shea Stadium in New York in 2009, supporting Sir Paul McCartney.
"I was introducing each band member as they played a solo, and when it came to my turn, I was supposed to play a piano riff on the keyboard but I hit the wrong button and it came out as drums.
"It sounded rubbish. In front of 50,000 people and a Beatle! That was bad."
The star - who also appears as a coach on TV singing show 'The Voice' - has been encouraged by the number of hopefuls appearing on the competition with instruments, as he claimed the art of being in a band is being lost.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine: "We've seen more people turn up with guitars or playing the piano, and I love that.
"Bands don't get to showcase themselves on TV very often these days.
"It's not very fashionable - bookers are more likely to spend a fortune on Beyonce or Justin Timberlake."

Q&A with singer Danny O’Donoghue, who comes clean on drinking with Sir Tom and coaching on The Voice
The Script singer Danny O'Donoghue
The Script singer, 32, on drinking with Sir Tom, coaching on The Voice and stargazing in Paris
You’re back on our screens on The Voice. Did you take any persuading to sign up?
Not at all. I agreed to do it on the last day of the last series. I said to Will.i.am, ‘Are you coming back? If you do it, I’ll do it.’ And he was, like, ‘Hell, yeah.’ We’ve had such a laugh.
Has your life changed since?
Yeah! People were coming up to me in the street. A few of the critics called me Danny O’Dono-who? because I wasn’t well known when I first signed up. It just meant that I had to work that bit harder to prove myself. We got our first number one single after that so it was an incredible year.
What makes you a good person to coach wannabe singers?
I’m not necessarily the best singer in the world, but I’m a guitarist and I’m in a band and I represent all the people who come on The Voice and play an instrument and want to rock out. All four of us judges – Jessie J, Tom Jones, Will.i.am and me – represent totally different areas of music. Jessie’s the vocal gymnast, Will’s the amazing producer and Tom’s just a legend.
The Voice Coaches Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O Donoghue
What’s different this year?
We’ve seen more people turn up with guitars or playing the piano, and I love that. Bands don’t get to showcase themselves on TV very often these days. It’s not fashionable: bookers are more likely to spend a fortune on Beyoncé or Justin Timberlake.
The most showbiz moment of your life?
Sitting in a hotel bar in Manchester with Sir Tom Jones singing Elvis Presley songs to me after an all-night drinking session, while the staff made up the tables for breakfast. That happened in a few different cities while we were doing auditions.
When are you happiest?
In the studio, writing and performing songs. I love those padded walls. That’s where I’m comfortable.
What makes you sad?
I’ve started a tradition of going to the Temple Street Children’s Hospital [in Dublin] every Christmas. That makes me really sad, but it’s nice to know you can put a smile on the children’s faces for a little while.
What was the most embarrassing moment of your life?
We performed at Shea Stadium in New York in 2009, supporting Sir Paul McCartney. I was introducing each band member as they played a solo, and when it came to my turn, I was supposed to play a piano riff on the keyboard but I hit the wrong button and it came out as drums. It sounded rubbish. In front of 50,000 people and a Beatle! That was bad.
What would be the perfect date?
Can I go anywhere? I’d go to Paris for steak. Then the Observatoire because I love to look at the stars. Romantic and scientific – how can you better that?

coaches - Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue and will.i.am - continue to build their talented teams.

As the teams start to form under each coach, the competition between them increases, and Jessie J, will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue use every trick in the book to ensure they have the best artists.
