Summary:
3. Christina Aguilera made a somewhat unnecessary race reference. Such was the appeal of Campbell that the coaches quickly took to scrapping over him, Cee Lo testifying “From the moment you opened up my mouth, I said ‘That’s my man, that’s my brother’.” Not to be outdone, Christina yelled “I was feeling the soul too!…Even though I’m not, you know, the same color as Cee Lo.” Despite this uncomfortable moment—the tension from which Cee Lo attempted to diffuse with a comment...

 Hey, some game last night, huh? Eli with his second ring and Super Bowl MVP, M.I.A. with the raised middle finger, and Gisele fighting with some randoms at Lucas Oil Field (“My husband cannot fucking throw the ball AND catch the ball!”). With all that excitement, it’s forgivable if you forgot that the season premiere of The Voice was on after the game. (Even though we’d have thought that the incessant ads might’ve reminded you, not to mention Cee Lo’s presence at the halftime show, but whatever.)
No matter—we’re here to catch you up on what you missed. There wasn’t a lot, as it was just an hour-long audition episode, but there were a handful of things that happened last night—let’s just say ten, for argument’s sake—that might be worth knowing about. Ingest them all here, in roughly chronological order, and report back to NBC for another two-hour audition episode at 8:00 tonight.
1. We already have our first coach-pandering song of the year. Carson Daly reminded farm-girl auditioner RaeLynn that singing a song by Miranda Lambert was not necessarily the way to her hubby Blake Shelton’s heart—Blake refused to turn around for a contestant that did so in the first season—but she continued undaunted, and indeed, RaeLynn’s rendition of the Pistol Annies’ “Hell on Heels” was good and distinctive enough for Blake to solicit her services for his team. “I love you and I love Miranda—she’s actually my inspiration,” gushed young RaeLynn to Blake. “Well, I happen to know her!” quipped the country star. Score one for Blake.
2. One contestant has every music-competition backstory cliché possible going for him. And as if that wasn’t enough, 42-year-old Jesse Campbell—homeless, divorced, with a cute daughter and one last chance—also had the strongest voice of the night, causing three coaches to turn around instantly with his rendition of “A Song for You,” with final holdout Blake soon to follow. If there’s one contestant from last night to really look out for in the weeks to come, Campbell would probably be it.
3. Christina Aguilera made a somewhat unnecessary race reference. Such was the appeal of Campbell that the coaches quickly took to scrapping over him, Cee Lo testifying “From the moment you opened up my mouth, I said ‘That’s my man, that’s my brother’.” Not to be outdone, Christina yelled “I was feeling the soul too!…Even though I’m not, you know, the same color as Cee Lo.” Despite this uncomfortable moment—the tension from which Cee Lo attempted to diffuse with a comment about how “Everyone’s the same color with the lights off” (technically false, but we see where you were going with that, CL)—Campbell chose Christina as his coach. “I can’t protect you now, brother!” howled a spurned Cee Lo, easily the most biblical line of the night.
4. Blake coughed a bunch of things under his breath. Coughing “Bullcrap!” at Christina’s insistence that she would devote all her time and attention to new team member Campbell is one thing, to cough the entirety of “Icanmakeyouacountrystar!” to RaeLynn is a little less credible. Soon, it’s gonna be just *cough* “Thatwasareallygoodperformance” and *cough* “Ireallythinkyoushouldjoinmyteamplease” and *cough* “WillsomebodypleasegetmeafuckingHallsalreadythisisaseriousproblemohgod.”
5. Cee Lo appeared with a white cat.
6. An awkward overweight dude in a sweater performed an acoustic version of Neon Trees’ “Animal.” And we had our first illustration of how The Voice is different than Idol—not only was the situation not played either for laughs or outright pity, but it was actually a learning moment. “Could I just ask one thing?” Daniel Rosa pleaded of the coaches after none turned around for his performance. “Like, what could I have done better?” “Pitch,” agreed the coaches. “Your pitch control.” It was actually one of the nicer, more dignified moments of the night, as Rosa walked off the stage, discouraged but not defeated.
7. Christina delivered the ultimate dis to Adam Levine. “Honestly, just ‘coz you do your used salesman thing, and you put your little feet up, and you think you’re all badass and whatever,” Christina ranted to Adam while the two coaches fought over 25-year-old Juliet Simms, before delivering the last part under her breath: “Trying to be Justin Timberlake.” To say them’s fightin’ words would be giving too much credit to fightin’ words. Shit will undoubtedly be on between The Voice‘s the show’s coolest and drunkest (repsectively) coaches this season.
8. Adam really, really liked one of the contestants. “For the record, I pushed two buttons,” Adam pointed out to final contestant Tony Lucca, for whom he not only turned around, but also forced the issue with neighboring coach Cee Lo as well. “Which is the first time in the history of The Voice, that’s never happened before. Please, please, for the love of God, pick me.” Thankfully for Adam, who was 0-3 in landing contestants for his team up until that point, he got his man—though at what cost? “I’m sure the NBC lawyers aren’t happy,” Levine tweeted about his rule-breaking double-button push. “oh well sue me. (Please do not sue me).”
9. There was a Mickey Mouse Club reunion! No, sorry, no cameos from JT or that bohemian hipster Ryan Gosling to speak of, but Tony Lucca’s backstory included a role in the Mickey Mouse Club, along with coach Christina Aguilera. Christina didn’t seem to remember Lucca at first, but after being filled in by an assistant or some such, she went looking for her old buddy backstage, resulting in a tearful reunion. “Britney had the biggest crush on you!” Xtina raved. A likely story.
10. Everybody hugged. |
