Former Eagan resident Nicholas Mrozinski struck an uptempo note on NBC's "The Voice" Wednesday night, and walked off the stage to very warm reception from the show's celebrity coaches.

Mrozinski, who goes by the stage name Nicholas David on the televised musical competition, performed "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" by Barry White.

"It's so incredibe, I'm a huge fan of yours," said coach and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine following Mrozinski's performance. "Barry White makes baby-making music, and I want to make a baby right now," he joked.

Levine wasn't the only one to show his appreciation for Mrozinski's performance. Mrozinski's coach, platinum-selling musician Cee Lo Green, called his voice a "bridge over troubled waters."

"You know you make me proud," Mrozinski's coach, Cee Lo Green said. "You just really can do no wrong in my book, and I really think you deserve to go all the way."

Mrozinski is one of 20 musicians remaining on "The Voice". All are competing for a grand prize recording contract. A total of 12 musicians—or three members from each of the four teams on the show—will advance to the next round after this week's competition. Mrozinski, who is a member of Cee Lo Green's team, has already defeated several fellow competitors in the show's earlier rounds.

He is scheduled to appear again during another airing of the show at 7 p.m. on Thursday. The results of this week's national polls will be revealed following tomorrow's show and the top 12 will be decided during the special elimination round.
