The number of spots on each team are dwindling as the battles rage on on NBC’s The Voice.

Monday’s episode of the popular singing competition show featured three amazing performances from Team Adam, Team Christina and Team Cee Lo.

Coach Adam Levine  is now the first of the four coaches to fill his team in the battles after the epic performance I’ve been waiting three weeks for: youngster Brandon Mahone vs. free spirit powerhouse Nicole Nelson.

The two soulful singers duked it out on the perfect song for their voices, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” During rehearsals, Mahone was intimidated by Nicole’s voice and experience, but you just knew he was going to bring it when they got to the stage. Their voices meshed so well together and I thought for sure, both singers would continue to the Knockouts rounds next week.

Unfortunately, no coach snatched up Mahone after Adam chose Nicole as the winner of the battle. The Maroon 5 frontman seemed baffled and upset that no one stole him (as was I) but here’s hoping we’ll see or hear him again. If not on a future season of The Voice, than on the radio.

Additional Team Adam winners shown in a clip package during the episode include Loren Allred (vs. Brian Scartocci), Cassadee Pope (vs. Ryan Jirovec) and Joe Kirkland (vs. Samuel Mouton).

Christina Aguilera had yet another tough decision to make between Devyn DeLoera and Marissa Ann. As the youngest member of the competition, Marissa Ann, 15, showed pipes far beyond her years on En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind.”

It was a pretty even match up as both girls went at it during the performance with great ad-libs and harmonies. Speaking to both contestants, Christina was proud and told them, “You’ve both shown you were true superstars today.”

In the end, she chose Devyn to remain on her team and Marissa Ann was ….STOLEN.

As she was giving her thanks to her former Coach, Blake Shelton hit his button and stole Marissa for his team.

Team Cee Lo’s duel was between second time Voice contestant Daniel Rosa and Hurricane Katrina survivor Alex Marceaux.

The indie singers worked with Cee Lo and Rob Thomas on a version of Adam Lambert’s “Whatdaya Want From Me.”

Though Rosa was lacking in confidence during rehearsals, he killed it on the stage. While Marceaux is classically trained, Cee-Lo chose Rosa to continue on to the next round as he told them, “His voice affects me. It hurts me in such a good way.”

With six contestants left in the battles and only one steal left to use by Christina, Tuesday’s final episode of the battle rounds is bound to be epic.

The battles conclude Tuesday at 8 PM. The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 PM.

Woo wee! The contestants on NBC’s The Voice have got soul.

Multiple singing hopefuls got their groove on during Monday’s blind auditions performing soulful classic songs which impressed the judges. Most impressive to us was 17-year-old Brandon Mahone who had us and the coaches thinking he was a singer far beyond his years as he nailed a rendition of The Temptations’ “I Wish It Would Rain.”

Adam Levine was the lucky coach to nab Mahone for his team after telling him, “Honest to God, you are a soul singer, a real soul singer.”

What were the other soulful highlights of Monday night?

This show might be called The Voice but it doesn’t hurt to be attractive. Contestant Dez Duron is how do we put this? … Very easy on the eyes. The hottie from Louisana, failed to make the show last year much to the chagrin of the coaches, especially Christina Aguilera once she saw how cute he was but his time. He wailed on the soulful song, “Sara Smile.” He had not one but three coaches to choose from after his amazing audition and as Levine put it, “I’m pretty sure all three of them want to date you.” With the ladies going wild for him, he chose Aguilera as his coach.

No button, No problem. Though music teacher VJ Rosales didn’t get a button push for his performance of Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You” the 25-year-old did get to perform with his idol. Most of the coaches thought Rosales’ voice was awkward when attempting the sarcastic slap-like tone of Green’s break-up jam. However, his adorable admiration of Green got his favorite coach on his feet to perform with him. As Green said when he went back to his seat, I’m pretty sure he forgot that no one pushed their button.

You need more than just a good voice to make it. After Jeffrey James performed Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation,” Levine told him, “I know you’re shocked that no one turned around because you’re good.” And seriously, he was really good. James performed a great rendition of the song but no one turned around and he looked visibly angry upon their empty praises. With high expectations from all the coaches, a lot of great talent will not necessarily take you into the battle rounds.

Blake Shelton’s slump is over. Team Blake made a triumphant return Monday snagging five singing hopefuls including standouts Suzanna Choffel, 32 and Terisa Griffin, 42. The country singer’s team had been trailing his fellow coaches by at least three contestants since last week but it looks like he’s fianlly got his mojo back.

By the end of the night, Team Blake also scooped up Lelia Broussard, Ryan Jirovec and Michaela Paige. Team Christina brought her total team members up to 14 with Duron, former Disney recording artist Jordan Pruitt and Latin singer Laura Vivas. Meanwhile, Green added Diego Val and Alexis Marceaux to his ranks. In addition to the soulful Mahone, Michelle Brooks-Thompson and Sam James also chose Levine as their coach.

The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 PM on NBC.
