She’s just 25, and Juliet Simms is more experienced than many of the contestants on Season 2 of The Voice. Of course, getting an early start helps. Juliet told The Voice she was singing in coffee houses at age 13, and started touring across the country, “living the gypsy life” at age 16. Blame the…

In fact, it was the way Blake Shelton worked with younger contestants that convinced her the she needed to try out for The Voice. She’d also witnessed his lukewarm reaction when a…
Well, the premonition Sera Hill’s mother had didn’t quite come true. In a pre-audition segment we didn’t get to see on The Voice, Sera Hill’s mom said she had a premonition that her daughter would one day work with Cee Lo Green. “See was talking about Cee Lo for like a month straight,” Sera, 24,…
