Cee Lo Green Scores the<br /><br />NBCs The Voice Season 2 continued last night with its last segment of the blind auditions. The judges were intense and quick witted as they worked to convince talent auditioning to select them as their coach and, as usual, contestants brought a blend of nervousness and excitement as they took to the stage after hanging out with show host Carson Daly.<br /><br />The first contestant, Sara Golden, a folk singer from Houston told her story about being offered deals to sign with two different record labels. Both wanted her to develop a new look and she wasnt quite up for that. NBC opted not to show her face until she was well into her performance. Her short cropped hair and attire made it difficult to tell what sex this singer was. As soon as she began performing Lady Gagas You and I, there was no doubt this artist was female. She compelled Blake and Cee Lo who rotated their chairs to battle it out over her. In the end, Golden chose to join Cee Los team.<br /><br />Katrina Parker, a 34 year old administrative assistant at an insurance company did her thing next after explaining her singing career was on hold due to sickness from living in a mold infested home. She sees The Voice as an opportunity to re launch her career. She performed Joan Osbornes hit One of Us and managed to get Adam Levine to spin his chair around. The other judges opted out; so in a singular spin, Adam managed to score Parker.<br /><br />Next the 51 year old Geoff McBride took to the stage and performed Stevie Wonders Higher Ground. His soulful performance sparked the interest of both Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green. The two judges fought over the performer who wore sunglasses due to an old kick boxing injury and Christina took this contestant.<br /><br />Pip, a 19 year old who told Carson Daly he had a background in musical theater, took the stage and rendered his version of House of the Rising Son. After putting his own stamp on the classic number, he compelled all four judges to turn around. Blake Shelton pleaded with him to select the team that has no guys, Christina worked on luring the artist in as well, but it was Adam Levine who won this talent for his team in the end.<br /><br />Contestant Erin Willet sat with her parents back stage waiting for her turn. Her story was a sad one as she described the enormous influence her father has had in her life. He had just been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and she was grateful to have him at her side for her audition. She performed the Jackson 5s I Want You Back and, at Christinas prompting, Blake turned his chair around. The rest of the judges stayed put, and Willet opted to join Blake Sheltons team.<br /><br />Erin Martin, a 27 year old former model delighted the crowd next with her funky look alone. The tall beauty with a killer smile described her look as that of an Egyptian Warrior Princess. She took to the stage sporting a big hair up do, a sparkly headband, high heeled boots, fish net stockings, dazzling jewelry and a short skirt. Her unusual voice not only blew the audience away, but attracted the attention of Cee Lo and Blake as well. She sang Plain White Ts Hey There Delilah and her style stood out. Cee Lo told her she belongs with him and she agreed. Blake never stood a chance
