'Now I'm p*****!' Adam wails as Cassadee Pope puts in another show-stopping performance for Team Black on The Voice



TV's The Voice may still have six singers battling it out for victory - but at least one of them is already guaranteed to emerge a winner.
Christina Aguilera was so overwhelmed by contestant Trevin Hunte's astonishingly powerful performance of Jennifer Hudson's 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' she immediately offered him a career after the show.
Christina - still a judge despite having no contestants of her own left - made a serious offer to take Trevin on tour no matter what happens in the final stages of the TV talent show.

'I wanted you from day one - I'm still sad - but I am so happy to be here and to enjoy the beginning of your career,' she said of the singer coached by Cee Lo Green.
'You are only 18. If a record deal doesn't happen for you after this show I would love to take you on the road under my wing personally. I would love to show you the ropes personally.'
She added: 'Other vocalists can hit notes but it's about an emotion.
'There's something about you that's so magical - I feel your pain, I feel the devotion that you have, the passion that you have, the motivation and the drive that you have to be in this business.'
Although Trevin had felt it was a 'huge risk' to sing the Hudson tune, saying it 'could make or break me', all the judges fell over themselves with praise - matched by easily the biggest reaction of the night from the crowd.

Adam Levine praised his 'incredible, God-given brilliant voice', and insisted: 'That's one of the best performances I've seen on the show, seriously, maybe ever,' he added.
Cee Lo, meanwhile, was convinced it would prove a contest winner. 'Ladies and gentleman, I would like to have a moments silence to just mourn the loss of all the other competition,' he said matter of factly.
He added: 'Trevin … oh my God. That was so remarkable, man, thank you so much. Thank you so much for blessing me today.'
Despite having no contestants of her own left in the competition, Christina Aguilera proved as big a presence as ever - and admitted she was looking forward to an easy ride.
'I'm very excited to be able to sit back and literally just be entertained at this point,' she said. 'The hardest part of the job is done.'

With six singers left, the most recent show saw each perform twice - once with a song of their own choice, the other a pick from their coach.
Scotsman Terry McDermott turned to one of his homeland's most famous stars to try to get him through a key round - rocker Rod Stewart.
Terry - whose hairstyle and gritty voice had already brought numerous comparisons to Rod - belted out a rousing version of Rod's hit with The Faces, Stay With Me .
'I feel really at home singing this one,' Terry admitted of the karaoke favorite.
'If I perform this track the way I know I can people will connect with it and to will see me through.'

His coach Adam admitted: 'It's just a classic, and that's what Terry is - a classic rock guy. I can see him winning The Voice and making a record that's vintage sounding.'
Pulling Rod-style moves with his microphone stand and walking through the crowd, Terry - wearing a black leather suit - was called 'the real thing' by Cee Lo and and 'an incredible singer' by Adam.
'You make it seem easy - that's the mark of a star, man,' Blake Shelton told him.
Terry's personal choice for the night, 'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Foreigner, was an even more personal moment for him, forcing him to fight his emotions as he sang.
'It just brought me back to the time when I was being crushed under the weight of losing my mother,' the Scotsman revealed. 'And my wife, being the strong character she is, made it possible for me to deal with that. I want this song very much to be for her.'

On his coach's advice, he performed a powerful bare bones rendition with just a piano and strings because Blake wanted 'America to hear what an incredible, pure sound Terry has'.
After a standing ovation from the judges, Adam praised him for doing the song in a 'unique, cool way'.
'Dude, I love you, I've always been a huge fan,' the Maroon 5 frontman continued. 'Every time I see you perform it's bitter sweet as I wanted you so bad on my team. You seem like a wonderful dude.'
Christina told him he 'murdered it tonight' - in a good way - while Cee Lo said: 'I'm a fan of yours, you know that.'
Blake joked that he thought the cello - or 'whatever that big violin thing is called' - was 'a Cee Lo', and then told Terry: 'That rocked. That was unbelievable.'

Although the eliminations are decided purely by fans' votes, the performer with the most to worry about given the judges' remarks was New York high schooler Melanie Martinez.
Melanie, the youngest left in the competition, made a brave move - singing coach Cee Lo Green's famous song Crazy. 'It's risky doing one of the coach's songs,' she admitted. 'I really hope Cee Lo isn't too hard on me!'
Amazingly given her support for Trevin, he was not Christina's favorite when first asked who she supported now she has no contestants of her own. 'I'm kinda loving Cassadee Pope, man,' the superstar admitted at the beginning.
After her performance of her 'dream song', Avril Lavigne's I'm With You, Adam called it 'my favorite of the night' while Cee Lo told Cassadee: 'You never cease to amaze me.'

Blake, her coach, said: 'You can't teach-slash-coach somebody how to have a connection with a lyric or a song. You have to be born with that. Cassadee Pope is one of those rare individuals that are born who have the ability to tell a story but also sing really, really good.
'You put that together and you have the phenomenon that's happening with Cassadee Pope on The Voice.'
Earlier she sang Blake's pick for her, Stand by Rascal Flatts, where the audience held up lights, leading host Carson Daly to quip: 'It's amazing how everyone happened to have a glow stick in their pocket tonight, that was nice.'
Christina told her: 'Your chops are just spot on. You're on the money. You're the all-around true star of the show.'
Adam admits that he had been 'p***ed off that you didn't pick me' as her coach, only to see her get even better. 'Now I'm really p***ed off,' he joked.
