TV Watch The Voice

The spots are filling up!

After another round of blind auditions on Monday's episode of NBC's The Voice, Christina Aguilera has six of her 12 teammates in place. Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green also have six acts each, and Adam Levine has seven.

But whose team is the strongest? Here are some of the night's most promising singers:

Pip, the bowtie-clad 19-year-old who sang "House of the Rising Sun," had all four coaches turn their chairs around hoping to have him on their side. "I did have success before Maroon 5 came along," Christina said, making her case. "I'm a fighter, and I will fight for your ass." In the end, Pip became part of Team Adam because, he said, Levine was the first to push his button.

Christina Aguilera said it best during The Voice's season 2 premiere Sunday night: "The competition is on!"

Premiering right after Super Bowl XLVI, the singing competition brought out more incredible performers – including R&B crooner Jessie Campbell and former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca – and sparks between mentors Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green as they battled for coaching slots to round out their teams of 12.

RaeLynn, 17, of Baytown, Tex., showed off a sweet, country sound while singing the Pistol Annies' "Hell On Heels." "I hope Blake turns around," she said. "I love him and his wife."

Although The Voice will premiere Sunday – right after the Super Bowl – it won't be until night two that the coaches Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine will perform a rocking Prince medley.

The two-hour show will also feature more blind auditions as the coaches build their teams and prepare to go head-to-head in a full season of NBC's hit singing competition.

Just don't expect to see a slew of bad singers.

"We all told them we're not signing up for this show if it's about ridiculing someone or mocking talent," Aguilera told reporters this month.

Last year, all eyes were on Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler as they settled into their new roles as American Idol judges at the start of season 10. But as the show ramps up Wednesday night (8 p.m. ET) with the judges' panel intact, all eyes this year should be on the talent – or lack thereof – as televised auditions begin.

But in an increasingly crowded genre, can one of TV's veteran singing competitions still make sweet music for viewers?

The judges clearly think so. In a recent interview, Randy Jackson referred to Idol as the "Picasso" of singing shows, the original that's been widely imitated.

When singer Dia Frampton discovered just how much of a comical guy her coach Blake Shelton was while competing on premiere season of The Voice, she wondered what kind of mate would offer him the perfect balance.

That is until she met his new wife, Miranda Lambert.

"She is just as sassy and in your face as he is," says Frampton, 23, who sang duets with both Lambert and Shelton on The Voice. "When I met her she was talking about going pond fishing with him. They are so cute together."
