Last time I saw spunky Tacoma rocker Vicci Martinez perform, she was singing her heart out on the Harbor Steps during a free summer concert. And now? She’s singing for Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton on NBC’s new show The Voice. Not too shabby, eh?

I didn’t get to watch the first episode, which aired last night at 9pm, but they break the whole thing down at nbc.com/the-voice. It looks like American Idol meets gym class dodgeball. The four "coaches" audition a slew of artists—who all seem pretty decent, no William Hungs here—and pick teams. Coaches mentor their players, then pit them against each other to whittle the teams down…long story short, there’s ultimately one Voice, who wins $100,000 and a recording contract. And 26-year-old Vicci looks like a contender.

At least Cee Lo seems to think so: "You inspired me and you touched my heart," he said after she sang Adele’s "Rolling in the Deep." Aw, Cee Lo. I’d join your team, too.

Watch Vicci Martinez on The Voice, Tuesday nights at 9pm.
