‘The Voice’ Recap: Battles Round 1: Cee Lo Calls On Monica to Advise His Team

In episode 3 of NBC’s increasingly popular TV show, ‘The Voice’, coach Cee Lo Green brings on multi-platinum, Grammy winning R&B Diva Monica to help him train his team for the big battles round.

Christina Aguilera paired up vocalists Tarralyn Ramsey and Frenchie Davis to do battle with Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”. Neither of the ladies were thrilled with Xtina’s decision since it meant one of them would be going home afterwards.

The Voice’s opening week’s gimmick was the blind auditions. With that over, it’s time to move on to the battle round!

Each of the coaches paired up two of their team members and had them face off in a duet of a popular song. Then, while the other coaches could weigh in, it was up to the singers’ coach to eliminate one of them.

Adam Levine didn’t hesitate to call Vicci Martinez and Niki Dawson on Pink’s ‘Perfect’ “by far the best duet of the night.” The coaches were shocked Cee Lo Green paired the two as that meant he would have to lose one from his team.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

I so me some Monica!

Cee-Lo is a GREAT artist, however, he scares the pure chit outta me when I see him. I don’t know if it has ever been said on here, but HE reminds me of that thing/booger on the Mucinex commercial.

LOL @ Pryn! Ceelo reminds me of Mr. Magoo! They’re probably the same height! But I love his music. He was waaaaaaay to versatile for Goody Mob. So who won Xtina’s challenge? Frenchie or the other chic?

@EssenceofU…Frenchie won. They both did a good job, but Frenchie sang the song better. The only winner of the battles I didn’t agree with was Patrick, the country singer. No matter the song’s genre, he’s always going to sound like a country singer. He has no versatility or range as a singer.

Nikki and Vicci were a toss up — either could have won. They both did a good job with the Pink song. Next week looks like it’ll be good. Can’t wait…I’m already hooked.

Although this show comes on past my bed time, I enjoyed every moment of the clip Sandra posted. Listening to Niki and Vicci sing their rendition of Pink’s “Perfect”, I couldn’t help but get chills. Man, both ladies sing with so much emotion and passion! I felt for Ceelo, choosing just one winner had to be extremely difficult. I wish both ladies the absolute best in the future.

I haven’t watched an episode of this show.. I hear a lot of talk about it though.
