The Voice UK battles begin this weekend and it's fair to say a fair few viewers don't like them. Even Ricky Wilson told us the other day: "Historically after the blinds it's not [considered] the most exciting time on the show, because everyone likes the button-pushing."

But every time the battles come around, we can't help but flash back to series two, when Matt Henry and Jordan Lee Davies treated us to their 'unique' take on 'Do I Do' by the one and only Stevie Wonder. If this isn't proof that the battles can be incredible, we don't know what is. Here are some gifs to show just why their performance was so endlessly watchable:
