Teenage Cutie Pie's Complete Teams on "The Voice"

2012-10-02T18:03:00.000-05:00

Last night young girls filled the stage helping to complete all four coaches’ teams on “The Voice.”

According to 15-year-old Nathalie Hernandez, she missed her prom to audition on “The Voice” last night.

“I know I'm young and I have my whole life to do this but I want to do this now,” said Hernandez.

It’s a good thing that she chose to audition over her prom. Even though the young artist considers herself as more of a contemporary singer she chose to sing "White Horse," made famous as a country song.

The sweet brunette girl captured Christina, Blake, and Adam's attention. Christina already looked like a proud momma watching the young girl’s performance.

“The emotion that I got from your face. We had a little connection. You seem like a storyteller,” said Christina as Hernandez chose her to be her coach.

Caitlin Michele's unique sound and power-house performance was appreciated by Adam and Blake. Calling it “the performance of her lifetime,” Michele decided to sing “Cosmic Love.”

"I'm sure Blake wants to punch me in the stomach right now," said Adam. "There were some pitch things and that usually would hold me back for good.” He liked her power and still wanted her on his team he told her. Interestingly enough, she picked Adam to be her coach even though he wasn't as impressed with her as Blake was.

Big-haired and bright eyed Chevonne stepped out onto stage saying, "I know it's in me I just need this to let it out.” With a resume that includes singing backgrounds with Lady Gaga a lot was expected of the singer.

Choosing the song "Brass In Pocket" Cee Lo identified with Chevonne and the emotion she portrayed in her voice. “That was a perfect vocal,” said Cee Lo. “I gotta say there was something painful in your voice why was that?”

“Growing up I had major eating disorders, but I've grown up and I've made a lot of progress,” Chevonne said to Cee Lo. "Yours was obvious to me, I've written on many occasions from a very painful place and there is a way to overcome it," said Cee Lo. Chevonne choose Cee Lo as her coach.

Kayla Nevarez sung "American Boy" with a very adult sound even though she’s still a child. Being only 17-years-old once again, this cutie pie caught everyone’s eye last night. Even though she listened to Christina growing up she choose Adam to be her coach. "I have one spot left on my team. Without a doubt in my mind I know you're the one," Adam said to her.

The Teams Are Tied on “The Voice”

2012-09-26T18:43:00.000-05:00

Smog worker Charlie Rey stated, “I’m totally nervous. Less than two weeks ago I was breathing in smog all day long.” Worried that his job may be ruining his voice Rey said, “I need one of those chairs to turn around so I can move on from my old life.”

He sang the beautiful love song “Home,” made popular as both a pop and country song. The first man to push his button was Blake stating, “You just have that cool confident factor. I just want to be a part of that man.”

“Come home Charlie. Charlie come home,” Blake pleaded with his arms wide open. “Blake is holding his arms out so I gotta go with Blake,” said Rey.

Backup singer Amanda Brown sung a humble version of the song “Valerie” impressing only Cee Lo. The coaches agreed that the ending of the song was the best and that perhaps she should have started out her song stronger. “I’m so glad you pushed the button for me and you definitely won’t regret it,” Brown told Cee Lo.

Stealing the entire night, the most memorable performance went to the young and talented Cassadee Pope. Having toured with “Fallout Boy,” Pete Wentz mentored the pretty artist as she toured the world with her band "Hey Monday." Pope said, “I love my band but I’m at a point in my life where I’m ready to make it on my own.”

Singing “Torn,” she had Christina, Adam, and Blake push their buttons within the first few notes of her song. When Cee Lo pushed his button she became the first four button push of the night.

“Man that was amazing,” said Adam. “I think that when the fourth chair turned around it was cool because you didn’t falter. I would be so honored to have you on my team.”

“I know how to make a solo career happen,” pleaded Christina.

Ultimately however the young talent went to the coach who gave her the best compliment.

“An artist isn’t an artist unless they’re not like anyone else,” said Blake. “There is nobody else like you and I believe with 200 percent of my heart that you, Cassadee, are a superstar,” Blake said with deep sincerity.

“I’m gonna have to go with my gut instinct and I’m gonna have to choose Blake,” said Pope.

Blake stood in front of his fellow coaches pointing at each one of them gloating, all in good fun of course.

“Are you done?” laughed Christina. “I mean I don’t wanna rub it in,” joked Blake.

Handsome Hopefuls Audition on "The Voice"

2012-09-25T19:09:00.002-05:00

Last night was packed with surprises as the judges continued to choose vocalists for their teams on “The Voice.”

The gorgeous Diego Val proclaimed, "I believe that music can make anyone a moment of peace." Singing "Animal” viewers got another taste of the Cee Lo “jig” last night while he danced in his chair enjoying the music. "I thought that was a great rendition of that record," said Cee Lo.

Though Val is on Cee Lo's team he may have to hold on tight, as Christina made it clear she had her eye on the cutie. "I actually feel okay about this just because I know I might be able to snatch you up later," said Christina describing the young Peruvian Val as “hot.” Even Adam agreed with Christina, "He was a handsome man."

Fair-haired beauty Suzanna Choffel delivered a beautiful and flawless rendition of the popular Stevie Nick’s song "Landslide.” "You did a rock song and in my opinion with a little bit of a country flair," said Blake.

"What you did was so good and proved how seasoned you are and good you are. I'm just the guy who wants to get you to where you want to go. I think that could be the finale of that show in my opinion," said Blake. Choffel choose Blake to be her coach.

“Suzanna delivered a very heartfelt performance. She just let her artistry speak for itself. Made me a believer," said Blake during his post interview.

One of last year’s hopefuls and “The Voice” heartthrob Dez Duron, is an undeniable Baldwin. Grabbing his second chance at auditioning for the show Duron sang "Sara Smile." Blake teased Christina telling her not to push her button after he turned around and saw the handsome young hottie. She did push her button though and was very pleased. "Calm down ladies, matta fact don't calm down show him some mo’ love ladies!” proclaimed Cee Lo.

“I'm glad you hit it early this time,” Duron told Christina. “I need a car out here,” he told the coaches. “I have plenty of cars,” smiled Christina. “You know last year I definitely did miss an opportunity with you,” said Christina. “I really wanna be the one by your side taking it home.”

“If no one else is gonna say it, man to man you are hot,” said Blake. Blake gave the young Duron an enormous compliment saying he reminded him of Elvis.

With the audience laughing Adam chimed in, “I'm pretty sure that all three of them wanna date you so that's cool.”

After Duron choose Christina to be his coach she performed a short victory dance that had the boys laughing. "That was my happy dance," said Christina.

New Orlean's Hurrican Katrina survivor Alexis Marceaux went out on the stage in honor of her city. "Go Your Own Way" was appreciated by Cee Lo making him her instantaneous coach. "You are beautiful," she told Cee Lo. "You have a wonderfully impecible voice, and I like your look," Cee Lo said.

Brandon Mahone sang "I Wish It Would Rain" blowing everyone away. The talented soul-singer brought us back to the time of "The Temptations," telling the coaches that they and Smokey Robinson are artists he grew up listening too.

Only 17-years-old, Mahone impressed Christina, Cee Lo, and Adam. "You seem to have studied what it is to be a performer from that era to the point where you were one of them,” said Adam. “You are a real soul singer.”

Mahone choose Adam as his coach. “Brandon is a traditional soul singer. He's really special,” said Adam post interview.

"The Voice" Blind Auditions Night-Left Blake Empty-Handed

2012-09-19T10:13:00.000-05:00

As the blind auditions returned last night the judges were more selective as to who they pushed their buttons for. “You're not gonna push your buttons unless you really endorse what's happening,” said Adam.

The first singer of the night was young Collin McLoughlin. “I’ve sacrificed everything for music, abandoned a professional degree in grad school, moved home,” said McLoughlin. Without approval from his parents on his career choice, McLoughlin knew he had to make it on the show.

The aspiring artist sang his rendition of "Wild World." Adam pushed his button halfway through the melody and nodded his head in approval when he saw McLoughlin. "You're one of the purest singers I've ever heard on the show ever," said Adam. One more for team Adam as the night began.

Mcloughlin‘s mother commented, “what it taught me is if you really believe in something you'll find the right way to get it.”

Born with neurological deficiencies, Joselyn Rivera wasn’t even able to speak by the age of five. The girl’s doctor prescribed music, so the young Rivera started out on Barbie karaoke. “I just blossomed after that,” said Rivera.

She came onto the stage with the song "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)." When she hit the high notes, Christina couldn't help but push her button. Leaving good friends Blake and Christina to battle it out for her to be on their teams. However, Christina hadn’t seen Blake push his button. “You've got it,” said Christina.

“I've been singing since i was four,” chimed in Rivera. “Ding ding ding!” laughed Christina who had started singing at that age as well.

Christina didn't know Blake pushed his button and said, "And I thought you were already on my team!" "I love having diversity on my team and there's a spot for you for sure,” pleaded Christina.

“Christina has been known to be abusive,” teased Blake. Christina took it all in stride as they are good friends. “Gonna have to go with Christina,” said Rivera. "You're great so, so great,” praised Christina. “She's been my inspiration since I was four,” said Rivera.

"It's not about you and me this year Adam it's about me and Blake,” laughed Christina.

Benji, singing "Knocking on Heaven's Door" got Cee Lo twisting and squirming in his chair causing Christina and Blake to break down into laughter. "You have a scream that should be heard by the entire world,” said Adam. “I think you could wind up winning this thing. I can't promise that but I can promise you I'll do my best.”

“Honestly you kind of sounded like you had a little bit of Adam in you,” said Christina. Benji’s choice was somewhat obvious when he picked Adam.

Cutie pie Mycle Wastman singing a beautiful raspy soulful rendition of "Let's Stay Together" received a standing ovation from the judges. "What's happenin' soul brother?” said Cee Lo.

"You got the whole spectrum. I’m most excited about you than anyone else today. Let me love you,” screamed Cee Lo fighting for the man to be on his team. Wastman did go with team Cee Lo.

"I'm feeling a little bit losery when it comes to the number of button pushes and team members that I have so far. I think I need to get a little more cutthroat at this point,” said Blake.

Watch next week to see what Blake may do to score some more team members. Check out “The Voice” next week at 8/7 central Monday and Tuesday on NBC.

Night Four of Blind Auditions on "The Voice"

2012-09-18T11:32:00.000-05:00

With an interesting and unique voice, Melanie Martinez kicked off night four of the blind auditions on "The Voice." She strummed her guitar and sung “Toxic” which captured Adam, Cee Lo, and Blake's attention. "So here's the deal I want someone to have a creative vision,” said Adam. “It was unique and I made the right choice you're amazing looking. I think that's what I'll leave you with before you choose me," said Adam with a humble smirk. "I ultimately want to go with someone who will let me be me so I think I'm going to have to go with Adam," said Martinez.

Single father Brian Scartoeci sprung "Isn't she Lovely" upon the coaches made popular by Stevie Wonder. Adam said, "That's a tough one to do and you did it. You didn't do it exactly like Stevie, you did it like you. Man you nailed it."

Having sung with Stevie before, Adam added, "Stevie's one of my favorite artists in the world. I want to see you guys sing together." Adam persuaded Scaroeci as he turned to Adam and said, “Let's do it man."

Gorgeous self-proclaimed "country girl" Liz Davis said, “There hasn't been a person on the voice that's country that's won it yet, and I would love to be that first person.” Singing "Here For The Party" Blake made Davis sweat it out pressing his button at the last minute. "I'm not going to sit here and try to sell myself as country guy. Something's poking me in the back,” said Blake as he reached around. “It's my ACM award.”

As he brought out his award he had everyone roaring with laughter. “Just glance over every now and then and just realize that I do have some connections in country music," said Blake. "I am so humbled," proclaimed Davis. “I've gotta go with Blake,” she said. This seemed to be an obvious choice for the blond bombshell.

"I need to be The Voice," stated JR Aquino before hitting the stage singing "Just The Way You Are." Following Blake's tease prior, Cee Lo hit his button at the last minute. Possibly playing hard to get Cee Lo's plan worked. Claiming his own original song hit five million last week Aquino impressed Cee Lo.

“Why were you last,” he asked Cee Lo. "You had a little problems with those high notes," said Cee Lo. Amazingly after the criticism however, Aquino picked Cee Lo as his coach. "I picked Cee Lo because his constructive criticism was very honest," explained Aquino.

Nicholas David was another gain for team Cee Lo. With an interesting look and swagger, David sung "Stand By Me" in a very soulful and interesting fashion. Cee Lo was the first and only coach to push his button. Adam and Christina compared his voice to Aaron Nevel. “I'm a family man and blessed to be here,” David told the judges. "It spoke to me man. Unique voice, unique style, unique coach,” said Cee Lo. During his post interview, Cee Lo said, “Nicholas is so cool, so quirky.” Even Cee Lo's pink parrot approved with a nod.

17-year-old Alessandra Guercio sang, “The Climb.” "I haven't told any kids from my school. I didn't want to jinx anything," said Guercio regarding auditioning for “The Voice.” Adam was the first to push his button. “There were some issues as it went along. You have to be in this competition,” said Adam. “There's something special about what you do very refined, especially for your age.”

"I think I'm gonna have to listen to the crowd and go with Adam, said Guercio. "She has an almost perfect quality to her voice. I can't wait to help her with that," Adam stated in his post interview.

The stand out performance of the season thus far went to Avery Wilson. New to singing, Wilson sung "Without You" impressing all four judges and winning over the crowd. "That probably was the most spirited reaction we've heard throughout this entire process," said Adam. "You really can't teach that," said Christina. "I hit my button just out of absolute respect for your vocal ability.”

"You’re won of the guys that makes this worth it,” said Blake. Cee Lo said, "I could just shower you with compliments. You were so impressive immediately. I'm humble and inspired and I believe that I could even become better just being around you,” stated Cee Lo. “Regardless of who you pick you deserve to be on the show."

Ultimately Wilson choose Cee Lo. In his post interview Cee Lo said, “16 year-old-child prodigy. He may be the golden child.”

Recap of Last Night's Stand-Out Perfomances on "The Voice"

2012-09-13T19:20:00.000-05:00

Christina Aguilera is picking up contestants like crazy this season on "The Voice." Her popularity as a coach seems to have grown substantially this year. Men and women alike are choosing her over her male counterparts to be there coach.

Don't worry ladies, heartthrobs Adam, Blake, and Cee Lo are doing well and will continue of course to do so. Thus far Christina has seven contestants, while Blake and Adam have five, and Cee Lo has three contestants set to go into the Battle Rounds.

Blake and Cee Lo picked up one artist a piece last night. Christina's team is looking very strong so far. After last night's blind auditions, Adam's team is looking stellar as well.

Last night Adam picked up reggae singer Samuel Mouton who sang a beautiful rendition of "Redemption Song." Christina fought for Mouton and said flirtatiously, "I would love to get to know you a little better and see what your turn ons are." You have to admit, her flirtation is hilarious and fun-loving. It makes for a great show and has to be very flattering for the contestants.

Nelly's Echo had been through so much in Nigeria. His father was imprisoned. His siblings and he sang through the hard times. With his father being exonerated they are now back together as a family. Singing "Ain't No Sunshine" Echo brought a big smile to Christina's face who liked his song immediately. "I find you so interesting and compelling. It seems with you skies the limit," said Christina. Echo went with Christina because she turned her chair around first.

I think "The Voice" is my chance to get my voice heard on the biggest platform," said soul-singer Nicole Nelson. She sang a gorgeous rendition of "Hallelujah" having all four judges turn around. "You got four button pushes that's huge," said Christina.

"The reason why all four of us turned around is because as you were singing it you just kept getting better," said Adam. All of the judges put up a good fight, but Adam did turn around first. "I came out here and I was like Blake," said Nelson. This is impossible how do people make this decision? "I'm going to go with Adam, beamed Nelson."

"To choose me out of the four is exciting. It's very flattering when I win a four-chair turn around especially when it's the only one of the day," said Adam.

The very sexy spitfire DOMO was a riot with "Don't Cha." The song was written by Cee Lo and the judges were in tears when he pressed his button. He was the only one to push his button, but all of the judges could see that he was happy that he choose to do so. They knew he liked what he was seeing. "You gotta handful there," said Christina toward Cee Lo. "Congratulations I can tell by his raunchy facial expressions and body language that he was looking at something he liked," said Christina. "Cee Lo is currently in heat. I would run," joked Adam. "Welcome home," said Cee Lo very pleased he pressed his button for the eclectic woman.

Blind Auditions Part Two on "The Voice"

2012-09-12T11:01:00.001-05:00

Kicking off the second round of auditions raven-haired beauty Adriana Louise sang "Domino" and received Cee Lo and Adam's attention instantly as they pressed their buttons immediately. Impressing all four judges Christina and Blake turned their chairs quickly. Christina stood up and gave the young girl a round of applause. “I mean we belong together it's just a match made in heaven,” said Christina. “I believe in you already.”

“I want you on my team because you can sing,” said Christina. Cee Lo of course had to hit on the girl. Stating, "We look like we just got married." "Congratulations on the wedding,” teased Blake.

According to Louise the first record she ever bought with her own money when she was nine-years old was Christina. After choosing her to be her coach, Christina stood up with her own victory dance.

Former wrestler Casey Muessigmann sang "Sweet Home Alabama." Blake spun around straight away. "I think your voice is really strong,” said Blake. “That ass spankin’ you were doing up there that's what had me.” Messigmann replied, “I came into this competition wanting one thing. That was to make great country music with Blake Shelton.” Obviously he choose Blake as his coach.

The handsome Aquile stole the night with "Your Song" immediately impressing Christina and Adam. Aquile received a standing ovation from the crowd. "You gotta calm down all the crazy screaming ladies right now," laughed Adam. "It was so good from the very first note," Adam continued.

Christina sighed after Adam‘s comment. “I mean look bottom line I was drawn to your voice the second I heard it,” said Christina. “I kinda want a private concert to be honest,” she teased the cutie.

19-year-old Harry Potter look-alike MacKenzie Bourg sang the very popular song "Pumped Up Kicks." Cee Lo being the only one to press his button made it an instantaneous win for Team Cee Lo.

For the first time ever in the history of “The Voice” Julio Cesar Castillo sang an entire song in Spanish. He pulled out the classic song "La Bamba." Blake enjoyed it from the beginning. As he turned around Blake couldn't help smiling and clapping. "Listen man you saw how quickly I turned around," said Blake. Castillo agreed choosing Team Blake. "He did it as good as Richie Valens did it. I'm just honored that he choose me," said Blake.

Blind Auditions Kick Off on "The Voice"

2012-09-11T16:57:00.001-05:00

The beginning of the third season of "The Voice" began with the cutest comment from Christina showing that the judges are just as nervous as the contestants. Before the first blind audition began, Christina turned to friend Blake stating "I get so nervous." Blake replied, "I do too."

Terry McDermott kicked off the evening with "Teenage Wasteland." Adam, Cee Lo, and Blake loved it but didn't turn around until the last five seconds of the performance. The Scottish performer probably would have been biting his nails had he not been singing. Luckily for McDermott the three males enjoyed his performance. Subsequently, the first judge to be picked during the blind auditions was Blake.

De'borah, a young 25-year-old woman from Chicago, IL was an amazing girl. When she changed her looks people stopped accepting her in the church choir where her parents work. Standing out in her hot pink outfit and a personality to match she stated, "I'm into love I'm not into the gender thing."

She killed the song "Hey, Soul Sister" impressing both Cee Lo and Christina. "I had so much fun just listening to you," said Christina. De'borah choose Christina as she remembered a song of Aguilera's that inspired her.

Country knock-out Gracia Harrison's "I want be your cowboy sweetheart" captivated all three male judges when the beautiful blond started yodeling in her country boots and cute short white dress. "By far you are the best country artist we've had on the show," said Adam. Christina had fun watching the men woo and fight for her attention with a slight smirk on her face. Blake was so impressed with the natural talent that Harrison had as a country artist. She choose Blake to be her coach.

Another gorgeous beauty with a voice that impressed Christina was Devyn Deloera. Singing Christina's song "Ain't No Other Man" had to be hard for the young girl. "That's a really hard song to sing live because it's so quick and you have to make sure you don't run out of breath. I loved it," said Christina. Male judges Cee Lo and Adam looked like they wanted to die as Deloera choose Christina. Largely in part to the brunette's incredible beauty perhaps.

Singing the stand out performance of the night, Bryan Keith came on stage with "It Will Rain." Blake turned around after the first note. Christina and Cee Lo pushed their buttons just as quickly. Adam compared the four button push as a domino effect as the young man was so talented. Not only does Keith have a stunning voice but he's also a good-looking guy. Keith choose Adam to be his coach.

Joe Kirkland "Gives You Hell" made Adam and Blake spin around in seconds. Kirkland also choose Adam.

Another outstanding performance of the night went to the humble soul-singer Trevin Hunte, who sung the famous Beyonce song "Listen." Hunte impressed Christina at first note. The only judge who didn't press his button was Adam shocking viewers and judges alike.

Hunte was the only singer of the night to receive a standing ovation from the judges. "You got all three of us to stand to our feet," said Christina. Adam claimed that he was afraid of the three other judges and didn't want to go up against them. Hunt went for Team Cee Lo.

Check out even more Blind Auditions tonight at 8/7 central on NBC.

Battle Round Week One-Christina Aguilera vs. Britney Spears?

2012-09-06T17:09:00.002-05:00

Simon Cowell is livid with NBC after the network announced today that they will be airing an additional evening of “The Voice” next week.

Cowell is furious because the extra evening is on Wednesday September 12th which is the same night the “X-Factor” premieres. Now Cowell has brought Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera’s names into his feud with NBC and “The Voice.”

Cowell is concerned that Britney will be “devastated” up against Christina. He told TMZ that he reportedly had a “gentleman’s agreement” that his show would air on Wednesday’s and Thursdays, and that the “The Voice” would air on Mondays and Tuesdays.

“This is a cynical, cold-hearted, unprofessional way of doing business,” Cowell told TMZ. He maintains that Christina and Britney are now going to be pitted against each other.

Well-known television producer Mark Burnett and executive producer of “The Voice” commented on Cowell’s allegations. Burnett reported to TMZ, “This is someone trying to read into something that doesn't exist.”

Unfortunately for Cowell, Britney may not like this negative attention. Cowell burned his new fellow judge by putting her on the spot in his tantrum with “The Voice.” It will be interesting to see how both Ms. Aguilera and Ms. Spears comment on this issue.

The battle round for the first week of the network’s premiere shows is not between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears but rather Simon Cowell and NBC.

X-Tina Dishes on Fellow Male Coaches on Access Hollywood

2012-09-04T17:52:00.000-05:00

Billy Bush and Kit Hoover of "Access Hollywood Live" sat down with X-Tina this past year to ask some interesting and somewhat uncomfortable questions about her male counterparts of "The Voice."

"Let's talk about the coaches," said Hoover. “It's all men out there. It's a boys club.”
“How's it being the only female out there representing?” asked Hoover.

“Are they gentlemen all the time to you?” followed Bush. "Of course not,” laughed Christina. "Blake's an unexpected great buddy. I love him to death,” said Christina. “Cee Lo is creative and interesting. Adam and I have great banter,” she joked.

If you’re a fan of “The Voice” you may wonder at times if Adam and Christina even get along. "No Adam's great,” Christina giggled. “Sometimes we all can pick on each other but if someone else tries to pick on us it's like hold up.”

According to Christina all of the coaches are family members in her eyes.
“It's kind of like that brother/sister kind of family,” said Christina.

“Of all the boys who would be the best friend?” questioned Bush. "At this point I'd probably go to Blake,” said Christina.

Hoover asked, “ Who of the judges would be the best boyfriend?”

“No,” said Christina with a look of disgust. “That's like a brother or something, now we're getting into a weird incestual conversation."

“Let's get weirder who would be the best lover,” said Bush.
“Lover!” screamed Christina. “Maybe Cee Lo he's a little creative.”

Of course “The Voice” fans know of two attributes that X-Tina doesn’t mind showing off at at all, both of which definitely stand out amongst the boys.

“You have something they don't have,” joked Hoover. "They're the fifth judge,” joked Christina. “I'm a performer, I'm an entertainer, I'm an artist. The girls are a part of who I am.”

Of course Bush started clapping, “Let's give it up for the girls.” All three clapped along with Bush.

Watch the season premiere of "The Voice" Monday, September 10th at 8/7 central on NBC.

Stand-Out Performances on Last Night’s Episode of “The Voice”

2012-02-21T09:40:00.000-06:00

The theme that resonated throughout the performances on "The Voice" last night was definitely "unique."

The girls in the audience went wild when 23-year-old husband and father of two Jonathas sung his rendition of “Got it Bad.” Born in Brazil, the young man learned English through listening to music.

Immediately Blake looked to the other judges and commented, “Guy’s gotta be good-looking the way they’re acting.” The soft and sultry voice of the singer stole Cee Lo and Christina’s attention as they turned their chairs around to “battle it out” for a chance at Jonathas on their teams.

Cee Lo claimed he thought it was a prank. “I thought it was actually Usher,” said Cee Lo. Very curious at what was causing all of this commotion behind her chair, Christina smiled and stated after turning around, “It is clear that the ladies love Jonathas here today.”

Although he was a fan of both of the judges, Jonathas said to Christina, “I was in fifth grade when “Genie in a Bottle” came out. I’ve always had the hots for you.” He did choose Christina as his coach while she beamed with excitement.

Street performer 21-year-old Naia Kete, came out with dreadlocks and a bluesy, strong, and airy voice. Singing “The Lazy Song,” she aroused Blake’s attention immediately which isn’t easy for any of the contestants to do so far this season.

When Cee Lo turned around Blake was not happy. “What’s wrong with you?” Blake playfully said to Cee Lo.

When Kete said, “Cee Lo you push all my buttons,” laughter roared throughout the crowd. “First time I’ve heart that overt flirtation coming from the other person,” said Adam.

Even though it appeared to everyone that Kete would choose Cee Lo, Blake won her over by saying, “The minute you started singing you just made me smile. Instantly I just fell in love with your voice.”

Kete admitted that her “gut” told her originally to go with Cee Lo, but as she stated, she had to "go with her gut" at the moment and choose Blake.

The judges made it clear that they were looking for unique and different voices last night. “I think we are all gravitating toward unique vocalists,” said Blake after hearing Charlotte Sometimes.

Charlotte’s rendition of “Apologize” couldn’t have been any more unique as all four judges fought for her to be on their teams.

Once again Christina and Adam raised eyebrows and brought laughter to the set when Adam said that Charlotte had a “Kind of cool simple thing.” Immediately Christina commented, “I don’t think it was simple. I think you are unique and individual.”

The highlight of the night for all fans occurred when Cee Lo uttered, “You guy’s should get a room man.” “No stop. Nasty,” said Christina in disgust. I wonder how Adam’s girlfriend felt about the outright sexual tension that may be causing some of the disputes between the two rival judges.

Charlotte went with Blake, but we had to admit that Christina and Adam’s quarrel and possible sexual tension was a lot more interesting then her choice of judges.

Get ready for Season 3 of “The Voice.” Yesterday on NBC’s TODAY Show Adam Levine announced that all four judges have signed on for another season!

Still to come- What were Levine’s thought’s on romance?

Claws Came Out Last Night for Pip on "The Voice"

2012-02-14T10:31:00.000-06:00

As expected, the mood was tense and "words" were exchanged amongst all of the judges last night on "The Voice." However, fans just can’t get enough of Adam and Christina’s very heavy and almost shocking display of dislike for one another.

If anyone stood out last night it was bright-eyed and bow-tied Pip. He won over all the coaches with his rendition of “The House of the Rising Sun.” The feud between Christina and Adam escalated as they were pleading their cases to be Pip's coach.

Adam was the first to turn his chair around stating, “You are what epitomizes the show because I had no idea what to expect before I turned around.” Following his statement Adam added, “I would be great for you. I really would.”

Christina threw in a punch that surprised even 19-year-old Pip. “I’ve been doing this many, many years, said Christina. “And you know what? I did have success before Maroon 5 came along.”

The look on Adam’s face of course was priceless and angry. Pip even replied, “Low blows!”

Ultimately Pip went with Adam as his coach because he was the first judge to show interest and turn his chair around for young Pip.

Christina was clearly not happy throwing both thumbs down saying, “Boo! Boo!”

Can the tension between Adam and Christina get any more juicy?

Tomorrow- More Contestants To Come On “The Voice.”

2012-02-12T16:30:00.001-06:00

As we patiently await for the new episode of “The Voice,” tomorrow on NBC at 8/7 central time, many fans are still watching re-runs this weekend, captivated by last week’s performances.

Who can forget Kim Yarbrough’s version of “Tell Me Something Good” that prompted more than her scoring Adam as a coach.

Prior to Yarbrough’s song, Christina had commented to Adam, “How many is that for you?” To which he replied with an angry tone in his voice, “Don’t worry about it." Since then we’ve been talking all week about the battle between Christina and Adam.

If this is just the start of the competition what are the battle rounds going to be like? Christina and Adam are not holding back this season which is reality TV at it’s finest.

Will "The Voice" Coaches Win Tonight?

2012-02-12T16:07:00.000-06:00

"The Voice" fans will be on the edge of their seats tonight to see if one of their favorite judges wins a Grammy. Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton are the judges "The Voice" fans want to win.

Contestants and Judges Turn Up the Heat on “The Voice”

2012-02-07T09:54:00.001-06:00

It was a pressure cooker of fun last night for audiences and fans alike as the blind auditions continued on “The Voice.”

Pressure was on for the coaches to pick the best artist and convince them to join their team, according to the show’s host Carson Daly.

The show started with some of Prince’s greatest hits performed by the judges. Revving up the crowd beginning with “Tonight we’re gonna party” following a Cee Lo solo of “Little red corvette.” Adam Levine hit it off with his signature high notes with “I want to be your lover,” and closing the montage was Blake’s rendition of “You don’t have to be rich.”

Immediately the quad returned to their judges seats as the competition lit up and held steady throughout the night.

“American Girl” was the first song of the night sung by Hailey & Leland who call their duo “The Line.” Although the two claim they are not a couple, they still describe themselves as an old married couple. They met in an interesting fashion as well. Leland asked Hailey, “Do you want a shot of Jack?” For clarification that is Jack Daniels that brought them together. As a viewer what could we expect from these two preppie yet odd couple?

The country rendition of the song they sang which was okay, sparked Blake’s interest immediately. All judges began to press their buttons and turn around. When Adam pressed his button Blake flew his arms in the air, jumped out of his chair and shouted, “No.” Could he possibly be a little intimidated by Adam? The duo ultimately choose Christina to be their coach. Blake’s comment to that decision jokingly of course was, “Fooled by flash and boobs.”

Jamar Roger’s unbelievable story made all viewers route for this man. He had triumphed over his drug addiction to crystal meth, and was homeless for awhile thereafter. He found out that because of his drug use he was HIV positive. Roger’s positive attitude about his future reflected in his comment, “There’s beauty that does come from ashes.”

Roger’s, a fan of Cee Lo, was ecstatic when after singing his rendition of “Seven Nation Army” Cee Lo was the first to turn around. “I’ve been a hard-core fan,” said Rogers. “You’re the reason I auditioned for this show.” The incredible story and acceptance from Cee Lo, was exciting for fans as he made it onto Cee Lo’s team.

The next singer up to bat was Gwen Sabastion who grew up singing with her family. An emotionally charged Sabastion said she was putting her dreams of family and kids on hold for her ultimate dream of a singing career.

As she began to sing “Stay” you could hear the breathtaking, unique, and beautiful voice coming from the depths of her soul. It looked as though Blake and Cee Lo would be the only judges to battle it out, until Adam turned his chair around at the last minute.

Once again discouraging Blake. “Damnit,” said Blake. “You bastards. You’re just doing this to get under my skin.” Teary-eyed Gwen praised the judges and choose Blake as she stated “her heart is country.”

Recap of the Premier of Season 2 “The Voice”

2012-02-06T13:51:00.001-06:00

“The Voice” Season 2 started off with a bang last night when 17-year-old Rae Lynn stepped onto the stage singing Miranda Lambert’s song “ Hell on Heels.” Blake and Adam battled it out to be her coach, but as Rae Lynn had said prior to her additions, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are her favorite singers. “I can’t wait for Miranda to hear that version,” said Blake. Rae Lynn picked her favorite Blake Shelton to be her coach.

Next up was Jesse Campbell singing a soulful version of “A song for you.” After his wife left him, Campbell had been a single father and was homeless for a while. Making his living singing at churches and weddings has been his lot in life until last night.

Immediately after hearing him sing only a few notes, Christina, Cee Lo, and Adam turned around. Blake turned around as well, giving Campbell four choices to pick from to be his coach.

“The competition is on,” said Christina. “From the moment you opened up your mouth I said that’s my man that’s my brother,” said Cee Lo. “You blew me away,” was Adam’s comment. Ultimately Christina won him over as Campbell said “You said you would fight for me and I’m ready to fight.”

24-year-old Floridian Juliet Simms had been playing at coffee houses before entering “The Voice” competition. After singing her rendition of “Oh! Darling” the feud, to put it mildly, was on between Christina and Adam for her to be on their teams. Christina snidely remarked, “Hi my name is Adam I’m gonna sell you a car right now.” Which Adam barked back, “If selling a car means winning the voice then I sell cars.”

To calm the tension that Cee Lo who was also vying for her as a team member, and was sitting in the middle of the two judges, said there was “sexual tension” between Christina and Adam as the audience proceeded to laugh. Looks like it may be another great year of feuding between the fair-haired beauty and the rock star.

Ultimately Simms choose Cee Lo, perhaps the fighting scared her away from Adam and Christina. However Christina proceeded to get up and immediately run over to hug it out with Adam. Which appeared to be a bit fake, because these two just don’t seem to like each other at all.

Chris Mann surprised all of us including the judges with his opera rendition of “Because we Believe.” His mom having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Mann stated, “I would love to win "The Voice" for my mom.”

Obviously the opera song caught us all off guard audience and judges included. Ce Lo and Christina turned around however. Mann stated, “I decided for this show I was gonna just sing like myself.” He felt the understanding of Christina as she expressed in the industry the problems of following into a niche and with the success she’s had by being herself, Mann choose Christina.

The last chance for Levine to grab a team member for the night had landed. All the other three judges had teams of at least one contestant, so he needed the last person to pick him. Oddly enough, the last man of the day was Tony Lucca, former “Mickey Mouse Club” member who had performed with Christina in the past.

Lucca wondered if she would recognize him. As he began to play “Trouble” Levine immediately turned around. Christina turned around as well with a certain quirky smile and laugh to add to it. All four judges turned around eventually. Luckily for Levine he was able to get a member on his team. “Please, please, for the love of God pick me,” said Levine prior to Lucca’s decision.

Lucca realized that Christina possibly didn’t even recognize who he was. However Christina got out of her chair and went backstage because she did in fact recognize him. Reunited with a hug as she met his family, she teased him about Brittaney Spears having such a big crush on him back in the “Mickey Mouse Club” days.

Tonight the pandemonium continues as the coaches battle it out for contestants to join their teams once again. A special performance by all of the coaches will also be tonight. Tune into NBC tonight's episode of "The Voice" at 8/7 central to see who makes the cut.

Adam Levine and His Victoria's Secret Bombshell

2011-11-29T16:56:00.002-06:00

It's not a secret that The Voice coach Adam Levine is considered to be a hottie to most of his lady fans. Sorry girls, but unfortunately he's taken. Levine has been dating Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna since last year.

Most recently his hit song "Moves Like Jagger" featuring fellow coach of The Voice Christina Aguilera, reveals Levine's many tattoos covering his torso and arms, which his girlfriend's mother disapproves of.

Levine stated that his Russian girlfriend's mom may not approve because although tattoos are acceptable in the United States, they are not in Russia. Blonde bombshell Vyalitsyna doesn't seem to mind. Neither do us American girls.

On the cover of Vogue Russia Levine and Anne are featured nude. Hopefully for Levine, the Russian model's mother won't have too much of a problem with it.
