Its week three at The Voice and the blind auditions are still on a roll. In this third round of auditions the judges got down to business. Judge Adam Levine came out of it with four talents joining his team, unlike Christina Aguilera who only grabbed two new members. The other two judges, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton snagged three each. There were a lot of contestants last night so let's get [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-14T11:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4060065/the-voice-season-2-novelty-reigns-supreme-in-blind-auditions/
Coming off a dose of tragedy in Whitney Houston's passing , and then triumph in Adele's sweep at the Grammys , we were in the mood to celebrate true vocal talent this week and part 3 of The Voice 's blind auditions delivered. As the first audition begins, the camera only reveals below-the-shoulder and silhouetted shots, leaving the performer's gender in question. (In the bio, we find out this artist received label pressure to change their look.) Then comes the voice, singing a more country-inflected version of Lady Gaga's "You [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-11T11:59:09+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4053946/the-twilight-sad-no-one-can-ever-know/

Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green - NBC Before getting down to the business of sifting through more singers during the second round of blind auditions last night on The Voice , the coaches - Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green , and Blake Shelton - took the stage to show the contestants how it's really done with a rousing medley of Prince classics.

Jermaine Paul Among the crop of talented singers who performed during the blind auditions in the second night of The Voice's season two premiere were some familiar faces. We got a chance to see a former American Idol contestant with an amazing back story get another chance at stardom and a background singer for Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys try his hand at stepping into the spotlight. Besides the familiar faces, we also met a few newbies that had coaches Christina Aguilera , Blake Shelton , Adam Levine and [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-07T06:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4042285/the-voice-season-2-alicia-keys-backup-singer-sparkles-like/
After posting gangbusters ratings following the Super Bowl last night, The Voice returned for part two of the blind auditions. The show kicked off with the judges taking on a few of Prince's greatest hits in a pyrotechnic crowd-pleaser. Christina Aguilera, sporting a leather sort of Statue of Liberty crown, led on "Party Like it's 19993; Cee Lo Green drove through "Little Red Corvette" in red sequined footie pajamas appropriately; Adam Levine put his falsetto to good use on "I Wanna Be Your Lover"; and Blake Shelton wrapped country twang around "Kiss" for the finale.

As everyone knows, the post-Super Bowl slot is a coveted spot for any show, and this year NBC gave the honors to The Voice , hoping to hook new fans as the fab foursome of judges takes a break from playing Guesstures to usher in Season 2. As anyone who caught the inaugural outing knows, Javier Colon (of Team Levine) emerged victorious, closely followed by Dia Frampton. What's in store for Season 2? Well, for starters, an all-star roster of mentors including Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, and Alanis Morrisette, and Adam [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-06T05:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4039336/the-voice-season-2-episode-1-premiere-recap-video/
The second season of the hit show The Voice returned tonight, and if the first episode is any indication, the talent is going to be as good if not better than last time around. As with last year, the judges ( Blake Shelton , Christina Aguilera , Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine ) sit with their backs to the contestants.

The Giants may have won Super Bowl XLVI (Giants vs Patriots), but Betty White knows next year belongs to the Cleveland Browns . Which team did you expect her to root for?

Christina Aguilera - NBC The coaches on NBC's hit reality singing competition, The Voice,figurativelyfight it out for the best voice during their blind audition rounds.

The commercial starts with coach and pop superstar Christina Aguilera over-hearing a beautiful singing voice while she's seated, enjoying a cup of tea (or coffee). She then jumps into action so she can have this talented mystery person on her team.

Ellen DeGeneres flipped the concept of The Voice right on its head this afternoon when she made the coaches (minus Cee Lo Green) stay silent and only use gestures to communicate music-themed words and phrases. When choosing our favorite moment from the game, we can't decide between Christina Aguilera thrashing her head for "Heavy Metal" or Adam Levine pointing to himself for the word "Diva" with Blake Shelton guessing correctly!

How much is the XTINA AGUILERA getting per episode of The Voice, season two I hear you ask ? $588,235 Or if you prefer it as a season two salary the she-popper will earn .. $10 million Which equals to more than the PAULA ABDUL and the RANDY JACKSON were making in the last season of the US X-Factory butt no more than the J-LOZ's run on season one of American Idol. Alcohol, tights, fake tanning and red lipstick do cost plenty a dollar.]]>
