Christina Aguilera :: The Voice to kick Off Surprise

TV talent show The Voice to kicked off its second season following the Super Bowl, which saw Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton compete as coaches to find the next biggest thing in music. Contestants had to perform for the foursome, who were only allowed a glimpse of the artist if they buzzed to offer them a spot in their team of twelve. And Christina received a blast from the past in the form of former Mickey Mouse Club performer Tony Lucca, 35, took to the stage, wondering if his fellow mouseketeer Christina would recognise his voice.

She buzzed halfway through the performance, but did not seem to recognise Tony, and she also had to compete with the other three coaches who all wanted a slice of the aspiring star. Perhaps failing to remember him did not work in Christina’s favour, as the singer signed up to be on Adam’s team instead. But when he walked directly past Christina, she clocked who he was and dashed backstage to find him and say hello, meeting his wife and son who were there to show their support.

Christina gushed: ‘I remember Britney had the biggest crush on you. She won’t mind me saying that.’ After she left Tony to enjoy his success, the artist said: ‘I’m over the moon.’ 17-year-old RaeLynn was the first to take part in the blind auditions who bravely decided to sing Miranda Lambert song Hell on Heels in the hope of impressing her husband Blake Shelton and anding a spot on his team. Adam Levine immediately pushed the button, and was quickly followed by Blake, who sang along to the guitar-wielding teen’s performance. 


Adam said: ‘The performance was amazing. You started off one way and then your voice turned into this monster country voice.’ Blake said: ‘I can’t wait for Miranda to hear your version of that song,’ and when Adam attempted to win the teen over, he pretended to cough and added: ‘I can make you a country star.’ Adam replied: ‘You’re more than that, I could tell by the beginning of the song, you were completely different, that’s why I loved it.’


But the blonde stuck to her guns and decided to team up with Blake as her coach. Single father Jesse Campbell was up next, who told of how he and his daughter were homeless for a time, before he got a job singing at churches. Cee Lo, Adam and Christina each buzzed within seconds of the contestant’s performance, with Blake following suit a moment later.
