“The Voice” Goes Live On Monday

The Voice

The competition is getting intense as The Voice goes live on Monday night!

That also means, the outcome is now in your hands! It is time for you, the fans, to vote for your favorites.

Here is all of the voting information…

As usual, you can vote by calling the toll-free phone number, texting from your Sprint phone, or voting online at NBC.com. Similar to last season, downloading the contestant’s song via iTunes counts as a vote as well. And this year, there is a new voting method added to the mix. You will now be able to vote through a Facebook app!

Voting is not unlimited, however. You can only vote ten times using each method.

The Voice‘s social media correspondent, Christina Milian, explains the voting process in this video:

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 8

The Voice

And there you have it…

The Voice‘s battle rounds are now complete, and six members from each team are moving on to the live shows.

As we already know, Team Blake consists of RaeLynn, Jordis, Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul… and tonight Naia Kete was added to the group!

Coach Blake Shelton paired Naia up against country boy, Jordan Rager. The amazingly talented Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert were there once again to help mentor the team.

For the battle, Naia and Jordan performed Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” As the coaches pointed out, we have seen better from both contestants and their full skills were not on display this round. When it was time for Blake to make a decision, he decided to advance Naia to the live shows.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 7

The Voice

The battle rounds are coming to an end on The Voice, and Team Blake is almost complete!

This week, we saw Jermaine Paul up against ALyX and Erin Willett versus Gwen Sebastian. Two of our favorite girls, Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert, were back to mentor and assist the team. Jermain and Erin got some help from Kelly, while ALyX and Gwen worked with Miranda.

Jermaine vs. ALyX

Jermaine and ALyX performed Billy Ocean’s “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car” for their battle. Both did a great job and it was a solid fight, but Coach Blake Shelton decided to go with Jermaine.

Jermaine is a seasoned performer with such professionalism and killer voice. He had me the whole round, and I felt like I was at his own concert.

Congratulations to Jermaine! We can’t wait to see you next round. Also, good luck to ALyX! We are sure she will have success.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 6

The Voice

On Monday night, the battle rounds continued on The Voice. This week’s recap is relatively short since there was only one Team Blake battle.

This past episode, we had Charlotte Sometimes up against Lex Land. Team Blake’s awesome mentors (I’m pretty jealous, to be honest), Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert, were back. Kelly worked with Charlotte (read more about their mentor session), while Miranda helped out Lex.

Blake chose Foster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” for the girls’ battle. Charlotte and Lex gave it their all on performance night, and Blake ended up choosing Charlotte to advance in the competition.

Charlotte vs. Lex Battle:

Charlotte gave a great performance, and we are happy to see her continue with Team Blake. And we didn’t know beforehand, but Charlotte is also pretty funny and has a great sense of humor.

Congratulations to Charlotte! We are looking forward to seeing her again next round.

We also want to wish good luck to Lex. We are sure more good things will come her way.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 5

The Voice

With all teams complete, The Voice is officially in the second phase of the competition!

The battle rounds began last night, and our Team Blake had to send two members home. It was a fight between Adley Stump vs. RaeLynn and Brian Fuente vs. Jordis.

Joining Team Blake as mentors are music superstars, Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson. Miranda and Kelly are each in charge of six members. This week, Miranda worked with RaeLynn and Jordis, while Kelly helped out Adley and Brian. None of the team members knew that they were being mentored by Miranda and Kelly. Needless to say, they were all very excited when they walked into the room and saw them. I loved getting to watch Miranda and Kelly work with the team. They are both so unbelievably talented, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. Not to mention, you cannot beat their first-hand experience when it comes to singing competitions.

RaeLynn vs. Adley

Blake chose Tom Petty’s, “Free Fallin’” for RaeLynn and Adley’s battle. The girls both sounded great and Adley has some vocal range. Unfortunately, Blake had to make the difficult decision of sending someone home. In the end, he decided to have RaeLynn continue forward in the competition.

With only one more show left of The Voice blind audition rounds, Team Blake is nearly complete!

In weeks one and two, we already met team members RaeLynn, Gwen Sebastian (interview), Jermaine Paul, Erin Willett, Jordis Unga, and Brian Fuente. This past week, Blake added four more members to his crew: Naia Kete, Charlotte Sometimes, ALyX, and Jordan Rager.

Naia Kete

Naia was born in Massachusetts and now hails from California. The twenty-one year old auditioned with a cool, unique version of Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song.” Blake and Cee Lo Green battled it out for her, but Naia chose Team Blake!

Via her blog on The Voice official website, Naia shared:

When I started singing, Blake turned around right away! I couldn’t believe it! I was in! Really? Then, towards the end of the song, Cee Lo turned also! TWO coaches!? AMAZING! I just felt so blessed and happy.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 1

The Voice

Season two of NBC’s The Voice is underway and our favorite, Blake Shelton, is back representing country music!

Big Country, as he has been dubbed by fellow coach and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, has so far chosen three team members.

RaeLynn

We previously introduced you to Blake’s first team member, RaeLynn. The 17-year-old from Baytown, Texas auditioned with a song closely connected to Blake by going with a track by his wife, Miranda Lambert‘s, band. RaeLynn kicked off Season 2 by performing a really great cover of the Pistol Annies‘, “Hell On Heels.”

The team members are all keeping blogs on The Voice official website. You should check out the complete posts, but here is a snippet of what RaeLynn had to say about joining Team Blake:

Fast forward and here I am, on Blake Shelton’s team! I’m honored to be led by one of my musical inspirations. AND so excited about this opportunity and being on The Voice!

Blake Shelton: NBC can fire me!

Blake Shelton’s life just keeps getting busier. Not only is he still on his All About Tonight tour, planning to marry Miranda Lambert in a few weeks, finishing up a brand new album, and going on tour with Brad Paisley; but now he’s one of the four coaches on NBC’s brand new hit show The Voice. With all these things going does the avid hunter have any time at home?

In an interview with The Boot Blake admits he really doesn’t have any time for himself – or his wife-to-be.
