The way it works is, each judge, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine have 8 contestants. They are to choose 2 members from their team, and let them know what song they're singing. Once they learn of the song, they are introduced to a celebrity friend of the judge who will help mentor and advise them in preparation for the battle. Christina chose Australian singer, Sia, Blake chose famous country diva, Reba McEntire, music producer, Adam Blackstone assisted Adam, and Cee Lo chose singer, Monica.
The stage is set up to look like a boxing ring (minus the rope) - it's very glitzy. The singers are introduced by Carson Daly of MTV fame, and they walk onto the stage to sing their battle song. Whoever comes out the victor will be performing in front of a live-studio audience in front of America, but their win in this round solely relies on their judge.
In the following video, Frenchie and Tarralyn Ramsey battle it out, singing, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" by Beyonce
Frenchie took home the win, and I definitely agreed with Christina on this. I thought Tarralyn had an attitude problem that needed to be adjusted. She wasn't very respectful. I'm 1-0.
In the following video, Patrick Thomas and Tyler Robinson battle it out, singing, "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley.
I totally disagreed with Blake Shelton on this, and so did my partner, Ryan. I think he made a mistake playing the "country card" in choosing Patrick. He needed to look at the fact that it would be much easier for Tyler to move beyond his vocal ability in the live competition. Patrick could be his downfall, because of his inability to go beyond a "country music" mentality. 1-1
In the following video, Tim Mahoney and Casey Weston battle it out, singing, "Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley.
I agreed with Adam's decision on this one - If Casey were to move forward in the competition. I think it would be a lot easier down the road. 2-1
Wow oh Wow! And what a battle it was! This was definitely the best performance of the night. My fingers were crossed that it would be Vicci taking this home, and it was! I was thinking Cee Lo was going to pick Niki, but he obviously felt what I felt, Vicci was ripping it up "hardcore" and he saw something there - he saw a winner! 3-1
As I mentioned earlier, if you haven't seen this, you should. It is definitely a million times better than IDOL.

I think I'd give the chocolate twinks...I mean twinkies a try. My bad. But the rest just make me want to vomit.
Great show with already better talent then the last couple of season "winners" of American Idol. Very disappointing that Tyler went on home, but at least he got to show us a little of what he could do and that he's an amazingly talented guy who happens to be gay and proud of who he is. Hopefully his dad will one day come around. The only thing they need to fix on this show is the host. With all the personality of the judges and contestants Carson Daily just seems invisible and boring. He's hot, don't get me wrong, but something tells me it won't be enough to keep him on till season 2, if there hopefully is one.
