Now it's Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green's turn to make a tough, on-the-spot decision.
Their teams performed Monday night on The Voice, hoping to avoid "instant elimination" by their coaches. (Spoilers ahead!)
Team Cee Lo's Jamar Rogers started the night off with a bang, performing "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi to unanimous praise from the panel. "You truly sang that like it was your life on the line," Christina Aguilera told the singer, who shared his story of contracting HIV. "You are such a strong, such a sweet spirit," his coach Cee Lo said. "We can't help but all be inspired by [you]."

Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera were each forced to eliminate one of their own protégés on Monday's episode of The Voice, and not everyone is happy with their decisions.
Shelton reluctantly chose to cut Jordis Unga, while Aguilera made the unexpected decision to "go with her gut" and eliminate fan favorite Jesse Campbell.
"I'm surprisingly doing all right," Campbell told PEOPLE after he was sent home. "It was kind of a feeling of melancholy. I did not want to go home – definitely. But I believe everything happens for a reason. So whatever reason [Aguilera] had for making this decision, I respect it. I got so much unexpected love from the public. I'm grateful. I look forward to watching development of the other artists."

For the first time on The Voice this season, the 12 contestants on Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green's teams found themselves at the mercy of America's votes.
The coaches had high praise Monday night for Jamar Rodgers (Team Cee Lo), who performed Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way," and classic rocker Juliet Simms (Team Cee Lo), who took on "Roxanne" by the Police.
At the other end of the spectrum were former model Erin Martin (Team Cee Lo), whose lackluster vocals on "Walk Like an Egyptian" left the judges unimpressed, and former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca, whom Christina Aguilera who called "one-dimensional."

When The Voice's Erin Martin came out on stage Monday night, half-naked men were pulling her along in a golden chariot. She was decked out in an elaborate costume, complete with headdress, to sing The Bangles' hit "Walk Like an Egyptian."
Christina Aguilera said Martin didn't "bring it" vocally, and her own coach, Cee Lo Green, agreed. "I want you to be more aggressive," Cee Lo said. "I want your attitude to be more take-charge and win this thing."
After the show, Martin told PEOPLE she wasn't feeling good about the performance because she didn't want to do it.
"You have to [play a character]," she said. "I'm contractually obligated to do that. There is nothing you can really do. I was choreographed. They put this outfit on me. They chose the song. You don't really have control over what happens. You kind of just deal with it."

Miranda Lambert thought she knew everything about her husband Blake Shelton, until she watched him on The Voice.
"We all know he's a ham on camera," she tells PEOPLE, "but I see this side of him that's softer, almost fatherly or big brotherly."
The country singers, who married in May of last year, have been together since 2005. And Shelton, Lambert said, is the same off camera as he is on camera. But this "softer" side surprised her.
