"Hot on the heels of the first six successful singers making their way to the live shows, 12 more will step up on tonight&amp;#039;s episode of The Voice hoping to impress.  Coaches Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton have a tall task in front of them - who will they allow to continue on and who will be sent packing? Stay with Digital Spy from 8/7c to find out!   21:57Well, that&amp;#039;ll do it for us tonight. Six more singers are through to the live shows. Join us again next Monday (March 19) as we move further into this exciting round! 21:56Adam felt like Jamie was in his zone but that he lost his handle once it became more of a power ballad. However, he applauds Jamar for taking control of the stage and says that he feels like an idiot for not picking him during the blind auditions. Blake admires Jamar&amp;#039;s vibe and Christina also favours him.  However, it&amp;#039;s Cee Lo&amp;#039;s decision. Seems like an obvious one... and it is. Jamar&amp;#039;s through to the live shows! Yay! 21:54Hmm, what a strange concoction this performance is. Jamar is going in and I think he has this one in the bag. Jamie is trying, for sure, but he&amp;#039;s just not as strong. 21:47Jamar and Ne-Yo are a good fit - Ne-Yo encourages him to be open and emotional with the song, which is a challenge that Jamar gladly accepts. I like Jamar, he&amp;#039;s a good guy. He promises to sing his ass off, and I totally believe him. WHO WILL WIN? This is one that I can&amp;#039;t really pick.  Just kidding, Jamar will win.  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039; Jamar Rogers: &amp;#039;I wanted to let people know there is hope&amp;#039; 21:46Jamie gets advice from Babyface as they work on the weaker parts of the song. Jamie&amp;#039;s voice is a bit of a mess and cracked a few times, but I... kinda like it. Still, he&amp;#039;s got a tall order up against Jamar, whose story of struggle probably gives him a bit of an edge. Jamie seeks some guidance from Babyface and Cee Lo after the rehearsal to ask for tips to deal with his nerves and is encouraged by what he hears. 21:43For the final pairing of the night, Cee Lo picks Jamie Lono and Jamar Rogers to sing Foreigner&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;I Wanna Know What Love Is&amp;#039;. We used to have the 7&amp;quot; of this when I was growing up. Should be interesting. 21:37Cee Lo enjoyed it as a whole and thought that both were good, though he chooses Lee as the winner. Adam also picks Lee, but Blake disagrees and chooses Lindsey.  Christina is a fan of both but eventually goes with Lindsey. Good choice, Christina!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039;s Lindsey Pavao: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m glad people liked Trey Songz twist&amp;#039; 21:33It&amp;#039;s time for the performance and... it&amp;#039;s a bit weird. I still like Lindsey, but I&amp;#039;m just not sure what to say about it as a whole. Both their voices are so unique that it&amp;#039;s a bit jarring when you put them together. 21:26Lindsey works with Lionel Richie, who urges her to display the emotion that she so clearly feels inside with the audience. Lionel can sense that she&amp;#039;s out of her comfort zone as she&amp;#039;s very shy, but wants her to get into it and open up a bit. I like Lindsey - I have since her first audition. I pick her. 21:25Lee gets to work with Jewel but he&amp;#039;s totally off-tune and it&amp;#039;s a bit of a mess. Christina tells him to study the structure of the melody of the track before he starts putting his own spin on it. Jewel loves the &amp;quot;bizarre poetics&amp;quot; of his voice. LOL! She&amp;#039;s not a fan, Lee. 21:23It&amp;#039;s Christina&amp;#039;s turn for a pairing, and she&amp;#039;s putting Lindsey Pavao and Lee Koch against one another to sing... &amp;#039;Heart Shaped Box&amp;#039; by Nirvana. Well, okay. 21:16Blake thinks it was &amp;quot;awesome&amp;quot; and felt like he was watching a diva concert. Ha! He can&amp;#039;t pick and jokes that Carson Daly was the winner. Christina chooses Kim as the obvious winner, and Cee Lo agrees.  When it comes to Adam, I think it&amp;#039;s pretty obvious. Kim gets the pass to the live shows!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039; Kim Yarbrough: &amp;#039;I never had a callback before this show&amp;#039; 21:13Hitting the stage, it&amp;#039;s time for Kim and Whitney to show their stuff. Whitney is a bit all over the place right out of the box, so I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s really meant for her. Kim is really showing her experience, not at all phased by the situation. Whitney gave it her best shot, mind, but it just didn&amp;#039;t go in her favour. 21:05Robin Thicke comes to work with Kim. Robin Thicke is a mess, right? Like, it&amp;#039;s not just me who thinks this? There&amp;#039;s just something not right there. In any case, Kim sounds amazing singing the song, actually. I&amp;#039;ll be curious to see what she puts out there - she really connects to the material and thinks that she can use the drama of the track to her performance. Still, Robin wants her to bring a bit more tension to her rendition. I want Robin to tell me what his whole &amp;quot;thing&amp;quot; is about. 21:03Whitney gets some feedback from Alanis Morissette leading up to her performance. I love Alanis, she seems to be everywhere lately... inexplicably, but happily! &amp;#039;Unsent&amp;#039; is my favourite Alanis song, by the way. Just for the record.  Anyway, Whitney seems to be struggling a lot since she knows she&amp;#039;s up against Kim, who is much older and has much more experience. Alanis encourages her not to be too much in her head and instead wants her to focus on her own uniqueness rather than comparing herself to Kim. I dig Whitney, but it may not work out for her. 21:00Adam decides to pair off Whitney Myer and Kim Yarbrough - two big powerhouse singers - as they try their hand at Mary J Blige&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;No More Drama&amp;#039;. Ohhhh, snap! 20:54Adam thinks it was &amp;quot;awesome&amp;quot; and loved listening to it, though he picks Juliet. However, Blake is a sweetie and talks a little more sense, picking Sarah as a more versatile performer. Christina admits that the song didn&amp;#039;t do the song justice, but it comes down to Cee Lo.  Cee Lo calls it a &amp;quot;very emotional part of the show&amp;quot; for him. He wishes he could keep them both, but hello, Cee Lo, get with the program - you can&amp;#039;t. Eventually, he unsurprisingly chooses Juliet. Boo, whatever. 20:52It&amp;#039;s time for the battle! I bet you Cee Lo will pick Juliet, but we can all hope. Sigh!  Sarah holds her own during the performance, but that&amp;#039;s all I can tell you because my ears cave in on themselves whenever Juliet opens her mouth. She really drives me nuts! I don&amp;#039;t remember being this annoyed by her in the original auditions. Sarah&amp;#039;s just so much more likable. Green, sure, and in need of a bit of work in terms of putting on a lively performance, but she&amp;#039;s just shy. Okay, I&amp;#039;ll shut up about it.  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039; Juliet Simms: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve always been the one on the sidelines&amp;#039; 20:44Sarah gets to work with Babyface to prepare for her performance. He gives her a bit of encouragement for the next day. Meanwhile, Juliet works with... Ne-Yo? Okay, whatever. Can I just say that Juliet annoys the hell out of me? Her Janis Joplin schtick grates my eardrums. Get her out of here. 20:42Cee Lo decides to pit Juliet Simms up against Sarah Golden. They&amp;#039;ll be taking on Rod Stewart&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Take With Me&amp;#039;, which Juliet thinks is more suited to her. She&amp;#039;s a bit full of herself and so no matter how good she is, I am totally backing Sarah, who seems a bit more humble. 20:35Christina appreciates the &amp;quot;sexy&amp;quot; register of Lex&amp;#039;s voice and remarks that Charlotte was comfortable on the stage, admitting that it&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;tough one&amp;quot; to make a decision on. Cee Lo likes both women but would have picked Charlotte. Adam chooses Lex, however, as he thinks that she opened up more on the song.  When it comes to Blake, he admits that he&amp;#039;s shocked by Lex&amp;#039;s ability every time she sings. However, Charlotte had more control in Blake&amp;#039;s eyes, and he chooses to send her through. BOO! I call malarkey! 20:33It&amp;#039;s time for Charlotte and Lex to take the stage - let&amp;#039;s see how this goes!  These two don&amp;#039;t sound that great together, but I stand by my earlier assertion that Lex should win. Charlotte is okay, but is trying just a little too hard and it&amp;#039;s not coming off as genuine at all. I think Lex has a more interesting voice and is more unique as an artist in general. Come on, Blake. See it my way!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039;s Charlotte Sometimes: &amp;#039;I felt overwhelmed&amp;#039;: video 20:23Charlotte gets to prepare for her performance with Kelly Clarkson, who already seems like a big fan. Lex gets to work with Miranda Lambert, which suits her perfectly. I like Lex a lot. I pick her - I hope Blake does, too. 20:21It&amp;#039;s Blake&amp;#039;s turn, and he&amp;#039;s putting Charlotte Sometimes up against Lex Land. They&amp;#039;ll be singing &amp;#039;Pumped Up Kicks&amp;#039; by Foster the People. He thinks that their personalities will offer up an interesting competition, and I have to agree... though frankly, I already like Lex a bit more, if we&amp;#039;re going on personality alone. 20:17All right, time for the moment of truth - Christina picks... Sera! Yes! 20:14Cee Lo is &amp;quot;pleasantly surprised&amp;quot; and thinks that both Sera and Geoff were natural, saying that he would have chosen Geoff. Blake says that they can both &amp;quot;sing the crap&amp;quot; out of the song but he picks Sera, along with Adam, who loves that she put on more of a show.  Christina congratulates them both on a job well done, admitting that she is always &amp;quot;blown away&amp;quot; by Geoff&amp;#039;s power and praising Sera for her passion. Ultimately, she decides to save... well, we won&amp;#039;t find out until after the ad break!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039;s Christina Aguilera sings with Sera Hill in audition: video 20:11It&amp;#039;s time for the battle! They&amp;#039;re both certainly putting themselves out there - it&amp;#039;s really too close to call as to who Christina will pick, though I&amp;#039;m leaning towards Sera. There&amp;#039;s just something slightly more accessible about her, whereas I can&amp;#039;t really imagine Geoff making a record or really moving me with any of his performances. 20:08Sera also impresses at her rehearsal with Jewel, with Christina calling her runs &amp;quot;crispy&amp;quot;. However, they have concerns that she is going up against such a powerful performer, though Jewel is certain that she can bring more &amp;quot;heart, emotion and story&amp;quot; to the stage than Geoff can. 20:06The rehearsals are intense, with both Geoff and Sera really putting their all into things. Geoff thinks that he has an advantage, however, since he grew up on Aretha&amp;#039;s music.  The next morning, he gets to meet with Lionel Richie to be mentored for his performance. Lionel seems blown away by Geoff&amp;#039;s voice and describes his delivery as &amp;quot;unbelievable&amp;quot;. Both Lionel and Christina encourage Geoff to &amp;quot;step it up&amp;quot; and make sure to challenge Sera when he gets on stage. 20:04And we&amp;#039;re off! Time for some more battles, complete with some big name stars to mentor them. Christina is putting up two of her contestants first - it&amp;#039;s Sera Hill and Geoff McBride, singing Aretha Franklin&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Chain of Fools&amp;#039;.
