asian american singers battle it out on NBC's The Voice

something is in the air, and it sounds delicious. i am lovin' all the asian american talent on mainstream tv right now.

i've written about heejun han and jessica sanchez, the two asian american american idol finalists this year, but last night on the voice, i was able to catch the battle round between two asian american female vocalists: angie johnson and cheesa laureta.

the two belted out  bonny tyler's total eclipse of the heart. there were a few pitchy parts on both sides, but cheesa made it through to the live show on cee lo green's team.

hailing from hawaii and recently relocated to LA, cheesa will get her big break on this season of The Voice, while angie is sent home after being discovered on youtube when a video of her singing adele's rolling in the deep to her military comrades went viral.

tune in monday nights at 7 pm CT to NBC's The Voice to cheer on cheesa and to join the debate outside of NBC studios on which one-hit wonder judge/cast member is the most washed up.

hello, carson daly.
