The Voice
NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET
From this point on, the singers on this competition are battling singers from opposing teams. Which makes things easier for them, but tougher on the judges, whose individual pride comes into play. Last season, Adam Levine won bragging rights, and used them all this year to persuade singers to join his team. Beginning tonight, against the other judges, he attempts to retain that distinct advantage. Meanwhile, have you noticed that the show is borrowing an American Idol trick, and having the judges drink prominently from logo-emblazoned cups? Except on Idol, it was for Coca-Cola. For The Voice, it’s Starbucks.
