How do contestants move forward, you ask?
Well, the person on each team with the highest audience vote automatically moves forward.
Then, each coach gets to save one remaining member of their team.
So a lot is riding on tonight’s quickie performances.
Her Pink song in the previous round was more emotional, but this one feels very professional.
Speaking of sad and pure: this song!
For the mullet alone, maybe.
She has her own lane on this show, as the coaches like to point out.
This is a cool song choice although it is lacking that haunting Billie Eilish-vibe she’s so good at.
That’s a nice vote of confidence from Mr. Legend!
I can’t stop thinking about it.
He tells her that she had “extra-level star power” and embodied the song in a powerful way.
(It’s definitely not from Marshalls.)
Pia has to be the Team Legend front-runner, right?
Pia’s coach is pleased, too.
This Stevie Wonder jam is no different.
It’s so fun!
By the end, all four coaches are up on their feet for the first time tonight.
John praises his artist for his charisma and passion.
He calls it a “flawless” performance both in regards to stage presence and vocals.
What more can you do, really?
Uh, guys, she proves it tonight.
Kelly just keeps throwing things at her.
you’re able to feel that connection in this performance, too.
and John Legend calls Jose’s voice “spiritual and engaging.”
“It’s always a pleasure to hear you sing,” he says.
It’s not a great vocal but Devan tries to make the best of it.
It’s her best vocal and her most confident performance to date.
She has some cool, unexpected flourishes she adds to notes, and it really works in this song.
He gets a standing ovation from the coaches.
Kelly Clarkson immediately tells Jordan that he’s “too cool to be on Blake’s team.”
Her head voice particularly sounds nice on this song.
He’s simply excited that he gets to work with an artist like her this season.
Those big notes at the end of the song are especially nice.
Oh and having “raw talent” doesn’t hurt either.
Cam Anthony just gets better each week.
He knows how to perform, but he also makes his vocal control seem so effortless.
John Legend calls him “phenomenal” and thinks Cam is brimming with potential.
That’s a way to end the Lives, buddies.
So, 17 performances down, but only nine spots remain.
Let’s hear some predictions.
