The show first broke out onto the reality scene because of its unique concept. Singers hoping for a spot on the show had to get the coaches to become interested by listening to their voice only, the coaches cannot see the contests in the blind auditions. This results in the musical talent really standing out and the competition heating up every year. Each contestant hopes to have a breakout moment on the show and these top ten performances achieved that and have become memorable.

In honor of the Voice returning, TheCelebrityCafe.com is counting down the top ten contestant performances that have taken place during the first sixth seasons of the hit reality singing competition. Did your favorite not make the list? Comment below and add your favorite.
