Facing The Voice’s instant elimination round , Cheesa knew she had to make an impression that lasted with coach Cee Lo Green, his fellow panelists, and America. Her courageous performance of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” did just that. It earned a standing ovation from Christina Aguilera, who’s been surprisingly hard to please at times this season. “That is a beloved song,” the coach said. “Those are huge shoes to fill and you still managed to do you own thing. I loved it.” Cheesa – I Have Nothing (The Voice Audition) Do you agree with Christina? Cee Lo did, at least to the point where James Massone got the boot and Cheesa lived to sing another day. Will she survive tonight? That’s up to the viewers of The Voice. The top vote-getter among Cee Lo’s remaining three team members will advance, with the coach picking the other semifinalist.
The fun Battle Rounds are back for a second week on The Voice! Things got emotional and downright gritty this week, and in the first matchup on Monday night, Sera Hill did her best to overwhelm Geoff McBride from the get-go. Geoff sounded sharp both in his practice and the battle itself, and she went on to miss a pretty big note on “Chain of Fools,” so it was far from a runaway. Christina Aguilera gave it to Sera. Do you agree with that call? Geoff McBride and Sera Hill – Chain of Fools (The Voice Battle Round)
In a Battle Round matchup on The Voice Monday evening, Kim Yarbrough squared off with Whitney Myer, who sounded off at the start, but then really got things going. She never could compete with Kim’s voice or pure stage presence, however, so it looked as though she was done from the start. Such is life in a sudden-death duet. Kim wasn’t too much of an opportunity to really showcase her voice, even, but she did the best with what she had, and the two did sound pretty strong as a pair. In the end, Adam Levine chose Kim to advance. The right call? Watch: Kim Yarbrough and Whitney Myer – No More Drama (The Voice Battle Round)
It’s episode four of The Voice’s blind auditions, with Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton back in their red-spinning spaceship chairs yet again. How much fun is this show? American Idol likes to tout its star-creating power, and The Voice may not have an answer to that until it produces its own Kelly Clarkson … or even a Scotty McCreery. Still, it remains a far more entertaining show in many respects, from the diversity of the vocalists trying out, to the rapport between the judges and the unique format.
American Idol may be the show that produces stars , but The Voice coaches have enlisted a star-studded lineup to help them groom their Season 2 hopefuls. Kelly Clarkson, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds,” Jewel, Miranda Lambert, Alanis Morissette, Ne-Yo, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke will all appear this winter. With their knowledge and skills as advisers to eight separate artists in the “battle round” phase, the NBC singing competition won’t lack for star power. Here’s a breakdown of whose teams The Voice guests will mentor: Team Adam Levine: Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke Team Blake Shelton: Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Team Cee Lo Green: Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Ne-Yo Team Christina Aguilera: Jewel and Lionel Richie Which show is better?
Oh, it is on between American Idol and The Voice . During their panel discussion at yesterday’s Television Critics Association winter press tour session, judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler left little doubt that they don’t care much for NBC’s singing competition, which gets underway on February 5. Among the disses lobbed at The Voice by this trio and/or Fox executives: “It’s a compliment to Idol. We’re not hiring a lot of people from The Voice to be on our show.” – Fox reality president Mike Darnell on Kelly Clarkson joining The Voice as a mentor “It was almost like second chance people; it wasn’t some new artist.” – Randy Jackson on The Voice champion Javier Colon having had a contract with Capitol Records
NBC is bringing back The Voice after Super Bowl XLVI on February 5. Following a successful first season of the singing competition won by Javier Colon , the network began plans for a second campaign almost immediately. Reports that it would follow NBC’s presentation of the Super Bowl surfaced last month. Now the Peacock has confirmed the season premiere schedule. With its entertaining interplay between four big-name judges, unusual format and array of talent, the program became a sleeper hit for NBC this spring. The Voice will air for one hour after the Super Bowl on February 5, 2012, then return for a two-hour episode the next night (Monday), according to EW . That will lead into the season premiere of the musical drama Smash .

“I’m a mixture of blues and rock with a shot of Southern Comfort.” – Beverly McClellan The openly lesbian, bald rocker who made it all the way to the finals of NBC’s The Voice calls herself a Janis Joplin-Melissa Etheridge-Etta James hybrid. That’s quite a statement, but the Florida native proved with her recent run on the reality hit that she’s got the vocal chops to make such a bold claim. Excerpts from Beverly’s interview with TV Line this week … Beverly McClellan and Christina Aguilera – Beautiful On her reaction to success on The Voice : “Where the hell did the rock and roll go? Epic moments were made: We need those again. I have no fear.” “I’m a bit of a rebel, a kid that never grew up. I feel like I’m finally, for once in my life, where I need to be, showing the right people, even if it’s not something I planned on doing: Come out here and get famous.” “I thought, “S***, I have just as much chance as anyone else.” Am I blown away that I came this far? Yeah. But I don’t want to slow the train down.” On making the finals (finishing right behind Dia Frampton and Javier Colon ) as an openly gay singer : “Listen, dude, we’ve got to be the change we want to see. I have to set that precedent for myself.” “I can lay down at night and think, ‘Wow. I did everything in a way that I can live with myself.’ And the children are our future: How can we show them a different way if we don’t continue it with every step we take?” “Doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and be a bit of a rebel, but break the right rules. There are the ones that need to be broken. I’ve never not lived out loud, and I’ve known my sexuality since a young age – kindergarten, really.” Beverly McClellan – Piece Of My Heart (On The Voice) On her blind audition: “Honey, I didn’t go out there set for them to not turn around: I went out there with the Sword of Troy. I was singing so hard my veins were popping out of my head, and I could see the spit slinging from my mouth.” “And just in that split instant I saw Christina and Adam turn around, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s on now.’ [ Laughs .] Of course I had to go with Christina: Why freaking not? She sings her face off. She’s an icon.” The Voice Battle Round – Beverly McClellan vs. Justin Grennan On the battle round with Justin Grennan : “We sat and we practiced. And it was royally wonderful. So at the end of the day it was just a matter if they wanted shrimp or chicken, because they’re both awesome.” America needs to watch out, ’cause they’re not even ready for what’s coming to them: Beverly McClellan, Vicci Martinez, Emily Valentine, Tyler Robinson, Kelsey Rey, and so many other folks from The Voice . And the list goes on. On what’s next : “Everything! America needs to watch out, ’cause they’re not even ready for what’s coming to them: Beverly McClellan, Vicci Martinez, Emily Valentine, Tyler Robinson, Kelsey Rey, and so many other folks from The Voice .”
Unlike its nemesis on Fox, there’s no judging controversy on The Voice . At least not yet. Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will all return for the competition’s second season. “Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of The Voice this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning,” Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of NBC, said in a statement. “We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans.” The NBC hit crowned Javier Colon as its first champion this week and will return in January.
