The Voice

The second week of 'The Voice' blind auditions were underway tonight (Feb. 13), and as usual, the coaches continued to banter, bicker and beg. But we also noticed that they encouraged one another to turn their chairs around for singers they think might work for their peers. So, the competition is somewhat friendly.

Jordis Unga clearly loves her parents. The Minnesota native brought her adorable mom and proud papa to her auditions for 'The Voice,' where her dad danced in a hibiscus print tunic (that, admittedly, looked a lot like a dress to us). "I really feel obligated to give them something," Unga said of her supportive family. "First I was in punk rock band, then pop rock ... Now I'm going b

During 'The Voice' blind auditions, good-looking Atlanta resident Chris Cauley, 27, sang a blue-eyed soul version of Bruno Mars' hit 'Grenade.' Cauley admitted in his pre-performance interview that he used to perform with his grandmother, who had a bit of a country vibe going on. We half-expected Cauley to turn in a country performance, but he was all R&B and soul -- not to mention thoroughly

The voice didn't match the singer, but it didn't matter for James Massone on 'The Voice' Monday night. The 23-year-old with the thick Boston accent sang Drake's 'Find Your Love' well enough to get three of the four coaches to turn around before settling on Cee Lo Green's team.

Model Erin Martin, clad in what she described as "Egyptian warrior princess" gear, seemed an unlikely candidate for 'The Voice' -- in that she's so beautiful that you don't want to root for her. That is, until you hear her sing.

Geoff McBride, 51, wears sunglasses (at night) to hide an old boxing injury. The Floridian was a kickboxer who caught a thumb to the eye, tore his retina and he's been wearing shades ever since. It's not for the "cool" factor, he said in his pre-performance interview at the blind auditions of 'The Voice.' He sang Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground' with plenty of necessary and requisite soul

Katrina Parker's move to Hollywood was sidetracked in 2008 when mold in her home made her sick for over two years. The 34-year-old returned to her dream during a blind audition on 'The Voice' Monday night, and sang Joan Osbourne's 'One of Us' well enough to convince Adam Levine to turn around.

Erin Willett's strong voice has a sad story behind it. The curly-haired powerhouse revealed in her opening montage that her father (and her hero) has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As a result, her rendition of the Jackson Five's 'I Want You Back' took on an alternate meaning: Instead of a lovelorn MJ begging his ex to take him back, Willett conveyed a daughter begging her dad to stay arou

Pip, 19 and from Marietta, Ga., has a stylin' and profilin' look. Suspenders? Check. Bowtie? Check. Tangerine-colored Converse sneakers? Check. He also resembles NKOTB singer Joey McIntyre. Well, all that visual jazz doesn't matter during the blind auditions of 'The Voice,' since this round is about the voice and the voice only, as the coaches can't see the performers. So does Pip have a voice wor

It's supposed to be blind auditions for the coaches on 'The Voice,' but Monday night's episode began by leaving the viewers in the dark to who was singing. Nobody was quite sure if the contestant was young or old, male or female -- until Cee Lo Green hit his plunger to signify Sarah Golden had been chosen based purely on her voice.
