Following The Voice results shows that saw a singer cut from Team Pharrell each of the last two weeks, 10 remain in the hunt for the crown.
One more artist will exit after Tuesday’s episode, bringing us down to nine, and then FIVE of those nine will exit at once the following week.
Basically, Monday was one more audition for next week, when s–t gets real. So who stood out and who may soon be on the WAY out?
Let’s break down the Top 10 performances on The Voice Season 9:
Jeffery Austin (Team Gwen): “Jealousy” by Labrinth
Another strong performance by Jeffrey, though he may end up being overshadowed by others who stood out just a little bit more on Monday.
Emily Ann Roberts (Team Blake): “She’s Got You” by Patsy Cline
With that dress and her combination of charisma and raw vocal talent, you’d be forgiven if you thought it was Taylor Swift, if only for a moment.
Braiden Sunshine (Team Gwen): “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons
Certainly a departure from the norm, 15-year-old Braiden tried to punk it up with this rendition, and by and large, held his own, at least vocally.
Shelby Brown (Team Adam): “Go Rest On That High Mountain” by Vince Gill
It may not get the headlines today, but this was one of the – if not the – best. Her connection with the song, and the audience, will be hard to top.
Korin Bukowski (Team Gwen): “Same Old Love” by Selena Gomez
Coming off back to back Instant Save nail-biters, she brought new energy to the Selena Gomez hit. But will it be sexy enough to save her?
Jordan Smith (Team Adam): “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen
One of the most emotional – and overly covered – songs ever set the bar high, but Smith left nary a dry eye in the house by doing it justice.
Amy Vachal (Team Adam): “Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC
Unlike Smith’s, which has been done to death, this was a weird choice … and the coolest, most unique “Bye Bye Bye” cover ever recorded.
Zach Seabaugh (Team Blake): “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen
He’s been called the Millennial Elvis, and while that may be a stretch and he may be laying it on a little thick, Zach has got that spirit about him.
Madi Davis (Team Pharrell): “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper
The only singer still representing for Team Pharrell, the teenager didn’t let the pressure get to her in this surprisingly poised, sorrowful cover.
Barrett Baber (Team Blake): “I’d Love To Lay You Down” by Conway Twitty
B-squared went back to his roots with this one, looking comfortable to be back in his element. Should be enough for this week, but beyond?
