After posting gangbusters ratings following the Super Bowl last night, The Voice returned for part two of the blind auditions. The show kicked off with the judges taking on a few of Prince's greatest hits in a pyrotechnic crowd-pleaser. Christina Aguilera, sporting a leather sort of Statue of Liberty crown, led on "Party Like it's 1999"; Cee Lo Green drove through "Little Red Corvette" in red sequined footie pajamas — appropriately; Adam Levine put his falsetto to good use on "I Wanna Be Your Lover"; and Blake Shelton wrapped country twang around "Kiss" for the finale. Then, it was on to the contestants! More »

Fri Jan 20 2012 by Idolator Staff
