Menacing mimes. Male strippers. Cee Lo Green in a slinky red jumpsuit with deep-plunging, lace-up neckline and a delicate ladywig. Carson Daly turning superlatives into bowls of lukewarm mush. And enough bum notes to recreate an authentic Ashlee Simpson recording-studio session. Those were just a few of the disconcerting distractions on the menu for the first live-performance round of The Voice‘s second season.
Maybe my expectations were too high going in. And to that end, maybe it’s not fair to make any long-lasting judgments about the season when there are a whopping 24 singers still alive and well and...

The 29-year-old singer appeared on the show in 2005. Like "The Voice," it was produced by Mark Burnett productions.
Unga sang "Maybe I'm Amazed," and during her song, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and Cee-Lo turned their chairs around. While her dad danced backstage, Unga burst into tears at the end of her song, her hands shaking as she introduced herself to the judges.
Then, the judges introduced themselves to her. "I am the a-hole who didn't pick you," Adam Levine admitted.
Aguilera says, "I loved what I heard. It's definitely stiffer competition this year... I heard that soulful little ad-lib in the low end and I love, love, loved it." She also noted that she's got more time and attention to offer her contestants,...
