On Monday, "The Voice" Season 4 Blind Auditions wrapped up, and the coaches' four teams (of a dozen each) were at long last complete. Now, let the Battles begin!

Today my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I discuss the last four contestants to make it through, and we also assess where all the teams stand so far. Which team do you think is the strongest going into next week's Battle Rounds? Feel free to leave your own thoughts in the comments section below.

But DON'T count Lee out just yet. With a new deal with good-sized indie Vanguard Records, the man seems artistically recharged.

Case in point: Lee's anthemic new single "Silver Lining," which is far and away THE best thing he's ever done.

Last night on "American Idol," Burnell Taylor went home in seventh place. This was not a massive surprise, considering the rough week he'd had; my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I had both predicted that Burnell would get cut this week. However, we'd also predicted that Lazaro Arbos would be in the bottom two with Burnell. So that was the true surprise last night: that Lazaro not only escaped the bottom two, but made the top three. Meanwhile, my favorite contestant of the week, Janelle Arthur, was in the bottom with Burnell and almost went home.

Today, Matt and I discuss what went down. Why are people voting for Lazaro? Should he have been put in the top 20 in the first place? Does he have a chance of actually making it to the finale--or even winning? And will his continued controversial survival hurt a show that is already struggling in the ratings? Watch us talk about all this and more in our latest chat.

Lazaro watches Burnell say goodbye"If America gets it right, there can only be one person going home tonight, and that's Lazaro," tough-talking, truth-serum-swilling "American Idol" advisor Jimmy Iovine declared on Thursday's top seven results show. His pronouncement sounded like a rerun of last week's results show, when Jimmy unabashedly rallied for Lazaro Arbos's elimination. But, just like last week (when Lazaro survived over the inarguably more talented Devin Velez), America didn't agree with Jimmy. Lazaro was safe yet again. However, unlike last week, Lazaro wasn't in the bottom three this time. HE WAS IN THE TOP THREE.

Yes, you read that right. That was not a typo. Lazaro Arbos was in this week's top three on "American Idol."
