As you might know, The Voice UK returns this weekend - and with it are a whole host of brand new blind auditions! Now, we love a good blind audition, so the show's return got us thinking about some of our favourites. Below, we bring you just 12 but we couldn't include everything, so get in the comments and let us know your favourites...
1. Max Milner
Max Milner ended up being one of our favourite Voice contestants in the first series - and not just because of the relish with which Danny O'Donoghue said his name. This was on the very first episode of The Voice UK and instantly got us interested, as Max skilfully combined 'Come Together' and 'Lose Yourself' in a mash-up that isn't just a gimmick. He's great - and Danny attempting to rap along adds some laughs, too.
2. Vince Kidd
We've all heard 'Like A Virgin' a gazillion times.

It's time for the battles, everyone! Now that the blind auditions are done, our attention turns to that boxing ring on The Voice, as each coach pairs up their team members for a fight to the death (or at least until someone sings a little bit better than someone else). But are the Battle Rounds a good thing or not?
Contestant Leo Ihenacho recently told DS that he's not a big fan, but we confess, here in the office we're split right down the middle. So we thought we'd get Digital Spy's finest to put forward their views on whether they're a good thing or a bad thing... Read on for what they have to say, and then let us know if you agree or disagree!

The Voice is all too often accused of coasting once the Blind Auditions wrap.

The Voice coaches will invite their famous friends along to help their contestants on this weekend's episode.
As the legendary battle round begins, each Voice coach will have a guest mentor who can help them prepare their acts for the fight.
will.i.am has cheated slightly by inviting along two guests - last year's contestant Leah McFall, who recently debuted the video for 'No Ordinary Love', as well as Voice stalwart Dante Santiago.
The Team Will acts that will be going head to head this weekend are Anna McLuckie and Jessica Steele, Callum Crowley and Tom Barnwell, and Sarah Eden-Winn and Jermain Jackman.
Sir Tom Jones has made the perhaps surprising decision to invite Tinie Tempah along to meet his acts, but the pair seem to be deep in conversation in this picture.

Oh, he does like leaving it to the last minute, doesn't he? will.i.am - yet again - was the last coach standing on The Voice, but his persistence paid off as once more he put together a strong team of singers. But who is your favourite?
It might be that you're on board with harpist Anna McLuckie, or fancy a bit of Kiki de Ville. Maybe you think Will saved the best to last, and you're backing late arrivals Tom Barnwell and Cherri Prince. Perhaps James Byron or Jermain Jackman caught your eye, or maybe you're a fan of the alliterative Callum Crowley. Of course, it could be Femi Santiago that you like, or maybe you're backing Iesher Haughton, Jessica Steele, Sarah Eden-Winn or Sophie May.
Well, we want to know, so vote in our poll below and then leave your comments so we know who's making you scream and shout this year.
