The Voice judges are halfway to finalizing their 12-person teams, and tonight the blind auditions continued.

More talented singers were scooped up this week, leaving just a few slots on Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee Lo's squads, as performers brought it in performances that ranged from renditions of everyone from Queen to Bruno Mars.

So, what went down?

Blake added street performer Naia Kate after she did Mars' "The Lazy Song," ALyX, who belted out "Just Like A Pill," country singer Jordan Rager and the kooky Charlotte Sometimes on his team. Charlotte revealed she recovered from a jaw disease, which caused her to not be able to sing for a while. 

Meanwhile, Christina snapped up "Mr. Know it All"-belting Monique Benabou, "What's Going On" crooning Anthony Evans, "Shark in the Water" singing Ashley De La Rosa and Jonathas, who Cee-Lo said he mistook for Usher when he sang "U Got it Bad" (and threw in some dance moves while he was at it). 

Adam added three peeps to his team, going with country music piano singer, Nicolle Galyon, another country artist named Karla Davis and 18-year-old Mathai, who brought down the house with Adele's "Rumor Has It."

And on Cee-Lo's team: Broadway vet Tony Vincent was added to the mix, along with "Babylon" singing Justin Hopkins (a former member of host Carson Daly's house band) and sandwich-making, "Folsom Prison Blues"-crooning Jamie Lono.

"We should hook up, because I eat sandwiches," Cee Lo told the Potbelly sandwich shop employee. 

With tonight's picks, Adam has two more slots left, Cee Lo has three, Blake has two and Christina has two as well.

May Whitney Houston find the peace that eluded her in life.

Friends and family said a final farewell to the iconic pop singer Sunday at a private, invite-only burial at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, N.J., where Houston was laid to rest next to her father, John Russell Houston Jr.

Houston's body was transported to the cemetery in a gold hearse, followed by a black Chevy pickup truck filled with flowers that included light purple roses, pink carnations and white lilies.

The police-escorted processional was small, with only six limos (three gold, three black), about five cars and a large black SUV.

Fans reportedly called out "We Love you, Whitney!" and tossed rose petals as the hearse made its way to the burial plot. The driver was heard playing "I Will Always Love You."

This was a big difference from Houston's much-larger funeral service yesterday at Newark's New Hope Baptist Church, which was packed with mourners from all over the country, and served as a spiritual, emotional, celebration of the diva's all-too-short life.

Houston's family and friends delivered a touching and uplifting tribute to the late singer at the "home going" service, with the likes of Alicia Keys, Steve Wonder, R. Kelly, Clive Davis, Donny McClurkin and many more honoring Houston through song, prayer and shared remembrances. 

The Grammy-winning performer, whose voice was truly unforgettable, died Feb. 11 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The Secret Lover Of Whitney Houston Spoke About The Relationship With The Singer

By ScoopCelebrityPosted on 22 Feb 2012 at 7:08pm PERMALINK  |  Whitney Houston

After the singer’s death, in the focus of public attention came her assistant Robin Crawford, with whom she allegedly maintained a love affair for years. Although Whitney has never failed to ratify it, many have testified to their great love, that they could not show it publicly so as not to disrupt the image of pop diva. In a letter published in the magazine “Esquire” Robin has with lots of emotion and admiration talked about a dear friend whom she met more than three decades ago.

This is the first time to talk about Whitney. She knew that I would never say anything that would hurt her. It was a very loyal friend, and that is why I would never have betrayed her. I try not to think that’s it, that I will never hug and hear her laugh, which I loved. Her laughter I will miss most.

I try to protect myself from media reports in which so many insist that the drug killed her. Today many are addicted to drugs, and are still among us, right? I do not know what happened that night, but if Whitney was not able to take the phone and call someone for help, I’m afraid that she came to the point of despair and went to great suffering.

I think about how odd is that she just left us in February. It was her favorite month of the year. The first album was released on Valentine’s Day, just before the Grammy Awards, which she was awaiting with joy each year. She always looking forward and going to a famous party of the music producer Clive Davis. This year’s February events have gone without it in the shadow of her tragic death.

I met Whitney when she was 16, in the city center in New Jersey where we both worked through the summer. She gave me her hand and introduced herself: Whitney Elizabeth Houston and I immediately knew it was special. I haven’t met many people who represent themselves with the full name. She looked irresistible with a peach color tan, never anyone similar to her I have not met in our city.

She was not like that Whitney Houston, which became later, but at the same time, it was different, destined to be among the celebrities. She was aware of that, and before she signed the first contract for the recording of album. At that time she worked as a model and she performed with her mother Sissy Houston in Manhattan in New York. I remember how in the car she got dressed and wore make-up before going on stage. It looked like an angel. My mother when first time met her, said: You look like the angel, but I know that you did not.” There is a lot of truth in it.
