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.
After Cee Lo praised the aspiring singer’s soul, Christina said: ‘I felt the soul too, even though I’m not the same colour as Cee Lo,’ in response to which Cee Lo quipped: ‘Everybody’s the same colour with the lights off.’
‘This is a tough decision, I don’t know who to go for,’ Jesse said. ‘The first person that came to my mind was Miss Christina. You said you would fight for me and I’m ready to fight.’
20-year-old Daniel Rosa as the next to take to the stage, but unfortunately missed out on teaming up with any of the coaches when no one buzzed for him.
The disappointed youngster burst into tears at the outcome as the judges assured him he was very talented, before he asked their advice as to how he could improve for the future.
Juliet Simms, a 25-year-old rocker, quickly impressed Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green, with the pair buzzing at the same time. Christina joined the duo in supporting the wannabe star moments before the end of her performance.
‘I think we would make a really good match,’ said Christina, before it was Adam’s time to try and convince the rocker.
He said, ‘Christina Aguilera is one of the best singers on Earth, but she is not one of the best coaches,’ and in response Christina claimed he was ‘trying to be Justin Timberlake’.
But it was Cee Lo’s simple approach that convinced Juliet and saw her sign up for a spot on his team. Opera singer Chris Mann wanted to succeed for his mother, who battled pancreatic cancer, and won over Cee Lo and Christina.
He quizzed the prospective coaches on what they would do with his voice, seemingly impressed with Christina’s speech about individuality, choosing the blonde after she said: ‘I know what to do with real vocalists.’
