Cee Lo Green had nothing but praise for his team members, Trevin Hunte, who sang "Wind Beneath My Wings," and Nicholas David, who sang "You Are So Beautiful."

Monday night on The Voice, the coaches were confident, but some of the contestants were seeing green.
After Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte opened with Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night," the first save was revealed. An ecstatic Cassadee Pope from Team Blake celebrated her win, before Cee Lo Green treated viewers to another surprise – a duet with Kermit the Frog to the signature Muppet tune, "Bein' Green."
Voters also rescued Team Adam's Amanda Brown. After reveling in her victory, Melanie Martinez, Nicholas David, Terry McDermott and Bryan Keith joined her for a rendition of Plain White T's "Rhythm of Love."
Then Team Adam's Melanie Martinez got the good news she was safe for another night, followed by Cassadee Pope and Dez Duron's singing Rihanna's "Hate That I Love You." Team Cee Lo's Nicholas David then found out that he still has a spot on the show.

"That was one of the best battles we've had," Cee Lo Green said as his fellow coaches concurred.

The Voice: Blake Shelton Steals MarissaAnn from Christina Aguilera
Originally posted 10/23/2012 07:20AM
The Voice is all about aspiring singers reaching for their dreams. But as Monday night's battles showed, getting to the top can be challenging – and as much about courage and confidence as it is about talent and encouragement.
"I don't know how to coach anyone to play it safe," Cee Lo Green said. "The real reward is the risk you take."
Green pitted two singers against each other who were fighting their own personal battles. Katrina survivor Alexis Marceaux's challenge was to loosen up her technically trained style. Daniel Rosa needed to conquer his nerves – and this was his second time on the show.

"I should not have paired y'all together. I'm mad … I don't want to lose either one of you!" Cee Lo Green, who struggled to declare a victor, grumbled.
The duet was "hands down the best performance we've had in the Battle Rounds so far," Christina Aguilera said.

The singer and celeb coach of The Voice partied at Club Robertson's Rasputin party in West Hollywood on Saturday night with her boyfriend Matthew Rutler and pals to show her support for L.A.'s gay community.

She stayed until the end – about an hour and a half."

The Voice: Talented Singers Go Home as Friends and Rivals Battle
Originally posted 03/13/2012 09:45AM
The battle lines continued to be drawn on The Voice Monday, as judges Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine pitted some of their best contestants against one another – at the same time eliminating talented singers.
From Team Christina, Geoff McBride and hotel-desk clerk Sera Hill faced off in the ring with Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools." Aguilera told Geoff, "Your power just blew me away." To Sera, she said, "I have a lot of respect for you as a vocalist." In the end, it was Sera who was selected to move on to the live shows.
Styles clashed a bit when Team Blake's outspoken Charlotte Sometimes and subdued Lex Land next battled, singing "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. Christina liked Lex's "sexy voice" and her "breathy, airy tones." But Blake heard a pitchy note in her performance and couldn't take his eyes off Charlotte, which, he says, is "what makes a star."
