Voice hopeful serenades hero Sir Tom

Teresa Vasiliou, 61, was once tipped as the next Judy Garland by four-time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn and toured America before a throat tumour cut her career tragically short.

The London-based singer had been hoping to kick start her career again on the BBC talent show – but left disappointed when none of the four judges picked her.

But she was not downbeat for long as she got the chance to sing her own song – If You Are Going To Touch Me – written for her music idol and The Voice judge Sir Tom.

Saturday night’s show was disappointing overall for contestants who were hoping for a second chance at pop fame on the show.

Fellow auditionee Angie Brown has already enjoyed chart success after she sang lead vocals on Bizarre Inc’s 1992 hit I’m Gonna Get You. But despite getting the audience on their feet by belting out her dance floor anthem, none of the judges turned around to pick her.
