Liberty X Star Kevin Simm Auditions For ‘The Voice’ - And Admits Failure Would Mean The END Of His Career
No, that is not your eyes deceiving you – Liberty X’s Kevin Simm is on The Voice!.
And tonight sees the former noughties pop juggernaut heading into the ring for the ominously titled ‘vocal battle’.
Ooo-er.
The 35 year old singer found fame after becoming a runner-up in iconic X Factor precursor 'Popstars’, going on to become a founding member of Liberty X and not doing too badly out of it all, everything considered.
But after the band split, the singer struggled to regain the success he had once enjoyed – which has led him to the hallowed halls of the BBC for another shot at the fame game.
However, Kevin admitted that coming from a successful band into the show has left him feeling more vulnerable – and that if he fails in tonight’s round, his career could be over for good.
“It is pushing me to my limit,” he told The Mirror. “I put a lot of pressure on myself in these sort of situations because when you’re out there trying to prove yourself all over again, it is just tough.”
“I’ve come in from a band. I felt a major pressure on me. My blind audition was a big sort of gamble.

“I had this worrying thing that if I didn’t get any turns, that may as well be the end of my singing career so getting the four was amazing.”
“I’m pretty confident that Faith will not slip up so I think I do have to be on my game and if I did screw something up then there’s a good chance it will be the end of it for me.”
You can watch Kevin battle it out with Faith Nelson in the ring tonight, on BBC 1.
