Online Watch The Voice Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.The show features four celebrity artists who will put together teams of singers who they’ll coach and mentor throughout the competition. Week by week, individuals will be eliminated until each celebrity has only one person on their team left to compete for the title of “The Voice of America”, in a live finale. Unlike American Idols’ lengthy audition process, the celebrity mentors will select their team members via a blind audition, so they’ll only be able to hear their voices. The show will have three stages of competition – the blind audition, a battle phase, and the live performance shows. Viewers will take part in the show by casting votes to help determine the finalists, who are competing for the grand prize – a recording contract.

Celeb Dirty Laundry is at it again folks! The Voice’s fourth and fifth blind audition rounds premiered on Monday and Tuesday night, and as per usual, we decided to bring you an unbiased look at the auditions, the vocals and the self-indulgence. These were, by far, the worst audition rounds of the season. No-one, except Avery Wilson, made our eyes twinkle with excitement. Read below our review and let us know in the comments if you agree/disagree. Let’s get to it, shall we?

Melanie Martinez was the first contestant of the night. The soft-voiced singer donned an Andrews Sisters/70’s frock and did a singer/songwriter cover of “Toxic” by Britney Spears. Her voice was wispy, breathy and subtle, with a strong upper register falsetto during the chorus. Her absent pop vibe left the field wide open for an indie and airy performance.

She delivered above average vocals, but won the race in sheer quirky appeal. Three of the judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera, turned around. Melanie chose Adam Levine in the end, as she wanted someone to assist her in expressing her creativity.

The Texan singer Brian Scartocci did a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” and even though the performance started off well, we were left hanging with an affected Adam Levine-esque voice and a nasal cover of Stevie Wonder’s seminal hit.

The vibrato became labored during the opening and Brian’s closing notes were complimented with a microphone twirl and a half-baked karaoke split near the end. All three judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera (she’s up to something…) turned around. If we were sitting in those spinning chairs we wouldn’t have pressed that button even if you held a gun against our heads. Brian chose Adam Levine.

Liz Davis, a strong contender to become the country vocalist of this season, was up next with her rendition of “Here For The Party” by country superstar Gretchen Wilson.

The Voice returned earlier than normal for season three, but Blake Shelton's jokes, Christina Aguilera's cleavage and a boat load of talent seemed to not miss a beat during Monday's season premiere.

After the coaches put forth probably their best joint performance yet on the series - and we all had a good laugh at Cee Lo's newest wacky The Voice pet Lady the cockatoo - the contestants all had their chance to wow the coaches. Let's see who impressed us the most...

Who would have thought it was even remotely possible to come up with a new singing show after ten years of Idol, Talent and others. But, in the viewer's opinion,The Voice was a stunning reboot for the genre.

THe idea for this singing show couldn't be simpler: the judges don't get to see the contestants they listen to them first, and boy does that make for good viewing. The four judges are obviously enjoying themselves and this is a very well-done professional production that will be interesting to see once the auditions over and we get to the knockout rounds whether it reverts to a more gladiatorial approach.

The show emphasizes that the judges are coaches here to help the contestants rather than simply "judge" them.
