Vicci Martinez

The roommate, Tje Austin, is battling with Austin singer Nakia in tonight's episode. So I'm going to tweet during the show. No, I don't know if he wins. No matter how much I pry, the boy keeps his lips shut. Stay on this page to see my thoughts below or just follow me on Twitter. :) This should be interesting.

EDIT: Live tweeting is done. Here are the tweets:

I gotta give props to @Nakia for singing this song. Tje seems more natural for this song, but Nakia is definitely working it. #thevoice

@tjeaustinmusic, you know I'll still root for you. Does that mean the paparazzi will leave our house alone? ;) #thevoice

I do find it funny that @tjeaustinmusic wouldn't tell me if he would move on or not. #thevoice

@sarahmvasquez Sarah M. Vasquez
But he would also say things like "IF I were to move on, I would probably leave..." I was totally not expecting the outcome. #thevoice

Nakia beats fellow Austinite Tje Austin in the Voice battle round. Love Nakia, but I would've picked Tje.

Pint-sized Vicci Martinez stepped onto the Momo's stage with just her acoustic guitar. Wearing blue jeans and her Chucks, she belted out several of her gritty folk songs to an intimate audience.

Martinez is only 25 years old and her powerful voice has given her many opportunities since she sang her first note at the age of 12. Appearing on Star Search and becoming a regional finalist for the first season of American Idol, she has received praise and recognition from celebrities like Wynonna Judd and Kathy Najimy (King of the Hill, Sister Act).

She doesn't have any label support though, as she's not willing to compromise who she is to get herself to the next level. However, she is proof that musicians don't always need the backing of a label because she's opened for various musical legends, such as Sting, Etta James and Jonny Lang.

Martinez sat down with me before her set at Momo's while she reflected on her musical career, shared what motivated her to become a singer and why she loves performing in Austin.

Vicci Martinez live at Momo's. Look I got a shout out!
