Having culled the field from 24 to 12 over three nights last week, the Voice is down to its top dozen of Season 9, and they left it all out there Monday.
Two of the Top 12 contestants will be eliminated on Tuesday night’s results show, and the coaches can’t do a thing about it for the first time this year.
Who will survive, and who will get the chop?!
Let’s break it down by the four teams …
TEAM GWEN
Braiden Sunshine took on “Renegade” by Styx, which allowed the teenage wonder to show off some more power. Will it be enough to move on?
Jeffery Austin sang “Let It Go” by James Bay, and while the vocals were strong, his performance lacked that “it” factor … we’ll see if voters concur.
Korin Bukowski performed “Titanium” by Sia and David Guetta, a brutal song to sing but one she acquitted herself well on. She might just survive.
TEAM PHARRELL
Mark Hood performed “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins, delivering another dynamic performance that impressed all of the coaches last night.
Madi Davis chose “Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel, treating us to a rendition that was both bold and understated, unique and memorable.
Evan McKeel sang “This Is It” by Kenny Loggins, singing from the heart and making the case that he belongs in this stage of the game as well.
TEAM ADAM
Jordan Smith, the early favorite, poured it all into “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” a departure from his usual pop songs, but an emotional high point.
Shelby Brown selected “In Color” by Jamey Johnson, got ahead of the band early on, but recovered nicely and showed considerable poise.
Amy Vachal performed a rendition of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” with herself on the guitar in a seductive, impressive and unique performance.
TEAM BLAKE
Barrett Baber’s choice of “Right Here Waiting” by Richard Marx showed off his range, but also his struggles at times connecting with the audience.
Emily Ann Roberts’ choice of “Blame It on Your Heart” by Patty Loveless raised a similar issue. Is she good, but not great enough to keep going?
Zach Seabaugh closed out the night with “My Love,” showing a different side of himself and likely earning a ticket to the next round as a result.
Well? Who do you think shone brightest on The Voice and who do you think has what it takes to survive tonight’s results – and beyond?!
