The Voice Season 6: Contestants Sing Live For America, Josh Kaufman, Sisaundra Lewis Shine? [VIDEO]
The Top 12 have made it through Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Play Offs, steals and eliminations, and now America casts their own vote. Stunning through fantastic performances and even microphone failures, the contestants brought their A game.
Coaches Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher and Blake Shelton sat back in those massively cumbersome red swiveling chairs, and put the vote right in America's hands. Who will come out on top (or bottom)? E! (April 16) and Monday's Hollywood Life dished on the Top 12 Power list. Who will it be?
How about that talented Kristen Merlin who powered her way through a microphone failure on Sugarland's Stay? Carson Daly complimented her professionalism, and Adam said she handled the scary situation "so gracefully," and Shakira gave her a standing O.
How about the irrepressibly likeable Jake Worthington? The country crooner with his signature cowboy hat, sang Travis Tritt's Anymore and even got choked up when he saw his Mama in the audience. He connects well with the audience, and Shakira said "I believe every word you say."
Or Josh Kaufman? His take on Bruno Mars left Adam Levine kicking himself that he lost him to Usher. And last night he did a soulful rendition of Sam Smith's Stay With Me. Usher complimented his commitment to family and said, "You have completely made my night."
Sisaundra Lewis? By far the best technical singer in the competition. The powerhouse killed it - again. She sang, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by Elton John. It certainly won't Sisaundra.
Then there's Christina Grimmie who exploded on the scene with four chairs turning. Monday night she knocked out Katy Perry's Dark Horse, even getting down on the floor. A wowed Blake said she is "The artist to beat on Adam's team." Adam said he "might as well have been watching the VMA's."
What about Delvin Choice, the former Starbucks barista? He sang Unchained Melody and gave Adam goosebumps. And how about that hair?
Dani Moz? Delivering Pink's powerful Just Give Me a Reason, she impressed all the judges with her memorable performance! Shakira said she had the "sickest range!"
Will it be Bria Kelly, who kicked off the show, but tends to split votes? Last night the teen delivered Adele's "Rolling In The Deep". Usher said, "I felt fire in your voice". Now that's a compliment!
Tess Boyer, hit us with I'll Be There For You. Having been coached by all of them, Shakira said that "no one can deny [her] pros, as a technical singer." She's definitely matured.
Kat Perkins, this season's only female rocker? After her performance of Magic Man Usher said "You really have what it takes to be on radio right now."
Audra McLaughlin, who held that note so long that Blake said he'd have to pee if he had to hold a note that long? Blake gave her a standing O for Angel Of The Morning.
Will anyone bank on TJ Wilkins? He sang John Mayer's Waiting On The World To Change. Usher said his performance was his "breakout moment!"
So who did you vote for? We will see who flies and who fails when The Voice tonight! Tune in to NBC at 8/7c on Tuesday.
