Clara's emotional performance on The Voice UK impressed the coaches - but did they turn for her?

Well, we certainly think it was (in the words of will.i.am) dope.

The Voice UK coaches were given a new array of talent to listen to on tonight's (January 28) episode, and you can count this singer among those catching their ears.

20-year-old Clara Hurtado took to the stage with an ace cover of Disclosure featuring Sam Smith's 'Latch', bringing some seriously emotional vibes. She even sang a few lines in her native Spanish!

The coaches clearly looked like they were feeling it, notably Gavin Rossdale and Sir Tom Jones, but did they turn for the Spaniard-turned-Brightoner?

Well, yes, as it turns out and Clara finished her audition with a full flush as all FOUR coaches turned and wanted her on their team. Blimey.

will.i.am kicked off the comments, addressing Clara in Spanish and remarking that she sounded "really amazing".

Tom was a tiny bit more critical though, saying: "When you started off, to me you were flat. But you got rid of that and you got in tune for the last half of the song."

"Nerves are a powerful thing," she agreed.

"It's really easy to not have the best start and not get back up," Gavin Rossdale said.

Forced with a big choice, Clara decided to go with will - we wouldn't have expected anyone else, to be honest, considering she is a massive Black Eyed Peas fan.

Tonight's show also an interesting spate of acts, most notably a singer who actually wrote a will.i.am song.

Tanya Lacey co-penned the coach's 2011 Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez-featuring hit 'T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)', which reached number three in the UK charts.

While we will have to wait and see if will turns for her, we do hope he avoids a faux pas by not realising who she is should a coach or two turn – that would be embarrassing.

However, judging by a preview clip of her singing Whitney Houston's 'All the Man That I Need', she certainly has a voice to boot.

The Voice UK airs on ITV.
