In this sneak peek from The Voice battle rounds, Cee Lo Green’s teammates, Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte battle it out for a spot on the team.

After they perform to a standing ovation, both Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine stand by with their hands on their buttons, ready to “steal” the competitor Cee Lo eliminates. “The Steal” is the new twist added to the Battle Rounds this season.

Sheepishly, Cee Lo admits more or less that he took Amanda for fodder and was not expecting the two singers to be evenly matched. WOOPS.

Of course, we’ll have to wait until the Battle Rounds begin on Monday at 8/7c pm on NBC to find out who Cee Lo keeps and where the other ends up…

    Interesting that the Voice’s new format actually ENCOURAGES the judges/coaches to pick bad singers.  

    An ideal line-up for a coach would be 8 good singers that they can advance through the battle rounds, together with 8 awful singers to make the other 8 look good that no other coach would want to steal.

    Great for Blake–I’m glad he has and that he did (even though, for the life of me, I can’t see how it would help for an R&B artist to tour with a country artist, but that’s good on Blake).  But he did say what I quoted and that’s a problem…I’ve never heard anything like that on Idol.  Just sayin’…

    All celebrity judges whether they’re judges on The Voice, Xfactor or AI have ulterior altruistic motives to further their careers. Its a sad sate of affairs when a bunch of rude people like Kim Kardasian, Simon Cowell, Kelly Osbourne, the imbecile Jersey Shore cast, etc rule the current American television landscape. I will celebrate the day when these reality shows are gone into oblivion.

    I am always amazed when people complain that somebody who is bringing information to them for free isn’t doing enough or covering the subjects they are interested in. The problem with The Voice and my posts is that there just aren’t many positive numbers to post when it comes to the contestants.

    Kirsten. I post tons of links giving information on what the contestants are doing and I’ll continue to do it, even though most of these posts (unlike yours) are ignored. And I’m OK with that, actually.  But here’s the point that you are sidestepping. No one’s forcing you to be interested in these contestants. In fact, if you ignored The Voice completely, this conversation wouldn’t be happening. However, if you’re going to repeatedly make misinformed generalizations about the contestants or the coaches, then here’s my request: When those of us who follow these contestants respond with information or links, why not read the links? Otherwise it’s not a discussion. 

    I focus on numbers. That keeps me busy enough.

    Exactly. And numbers won’t tell you whether the coaches care about their contestants. They won’t tell you whether the contestants are touring the country or opening to crowds of 30,000 people. Yet the majority of your posts about the Voice have little to do with numbers and more to do with the judges not giving a shit.

    Of course you have never heard an Idol judge say anything like that, because Idol doesn’t have teams or mentors. The Idol judges aren’t mentors in any way to the contestants and they don’t pick contestants to be on their teams. The Idol judges have nothing to do with the contestants outside of their 10-30 second critique (if they even give that much) they give once a week. The AI judges don’t help the contestants pick out songs, work on arrangements, work on staging or with their performance in any way.

    The AI judges waltz in to their job twice a week to hair and make-up and waltz out to sit at the judges table to watch the contestants, that they never speak to during the week, give performances that they had nothing to do with.
    There is a big difference in being a judge on AI and a mentor or The Voice.

    Just FYI (and then I’ll stop coming here:), Scotty has spoken a number of times how both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler came to rehearsals and gave them advice…Michael Orland still tweets Scotty and Scotty’s fans…Scotty’s the only one I follow so I can’t speak about others, but I’ve read of other connections (oh, wait, Steven Tyler has done quite a bit with Carrie and had Lauren Alaina sing backup on his album)…

    Michael Orland tweets all the contestants and their fans. He was a vocal coach and helped with arrangements, not one of the judges that was paid millions of dollars. 

    Steven did do a duet with Carrie, but that wasn’t to help HER out. Out of the hundreds of past Idolettes, Carrie is the last one that needs help! lol 

    The AI judges go to the dress rehearsals so they can jot down their thoughts (and probably get them approved by Nigel) and so they can then PRETEND to give their reactions on the spot during the live shows. This practice is to help the judges look more articulate, not to help the contestants in any way. The contestants have already put their time into the song selection, arrangements and performance prep before they ever see the three stooges out in the audience during dress rehearsal.
