'The Voice' Quarter-Finals Kick Off on Monday - Team Christina & Team Blake
The Voice may have eliminated four contestants this week, but it is not about to slow down. On Monday, April 16, Team Christina and Team Blake will kick off the quarter-finals!
Without a doubt, the hardest part of the competition is about to go down. After the performances on Monday, there will be a SUDDEN DEATH elimination when the judges send someone home. Then, on Tuesday night, the highest voted contestant from each team will automatically advance. That will leave a bottom two to sing for their lives. Then, as before, Xtina and Blake will choose who stays -- sending the other singer home.
Fans will also be excited to learn that the coaches will also perform alongside their teams, and Maroon 5 will debut their new song "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa. If you are a Belieber, you will not want to miss the results show on Tuesday, April 17, as a clip of Justin Bieber's upcoming "Boyfriend" video will premiere.
The Wanted are set to hit the stage, as well, on the results show. If you recall, they just performed on American Idol.
Do you have "Boy Band Fever?"

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – April 13, 2012 – In a surprising twist, the coaches must dismiss one artist from each of their teams in the Quarterfinals of “The Voice” Performance shows. Beginning Monday, April 16, LIVE on NBC with Teams Blake and Christina, the four remaining artists on each team will fight for survival and sing like it’s their last opportunity. Coaches Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton must then decide who among the artists on their respective teams will be dismissed in a heart-pounding instant elimination. Teams Adam and CeeLo will be put through the same test the following week as they take the stage for the Quarterfinals.
As previously announced, Blake and Christina will also perform alongside the four artists on their respective teams, and coach Adam Levine joins his band, Maroon 5, in a premiere performance of “Payphone” featuring Wiz Khalifa. “Payphone is the first single off the band’s upcoming fourth album, “Overexposed.”
On “The Voice” Elimination Show Tuesday, April 17 (9-10 p.m. ET), the competition comes to an end for two more artists. In the third of six Elimination Shows, the artist who receives the most viewer votes on Teams Blake and Christina from the previous night’s Quarterfinal Performance Show, will be saved and guaranteed a spot in the Semifinals. Meanwhile, the bottom two artists on both teams must each perform an additional last chance song. Coaches Christina and Blake will then be put on the spot to save one more member of their team to advance into the Semifinals, thereby eliminating the other artist. By night’s end, Blake and Christina will each have their top two artists.
In a special world premiere, “Bieber fever” hits “The Voice” as NBC presents a debut clip from Justin Bieber’s new video and latest hit single, “Boyfriend.” The teen icon and music ingénue also promises a very special surprise for all “Believers.”
British pop-vocal sensation, The Wanted, continue to take the world by storm as they step onto “The Voice” stage to perform. Their self-titled US debut EP will be available everywhere April 24th. This week, the success of their first single, “Glad You Came,” established The Wanted as the first boy band to hit #1 on Mainstream Top 40 since 1997.
