After Team Adam and Team Usher made their debuts on Monday night, it was time to see what Team Shakira and the all-country Team Blake had in store for us. And they certainly brought it for night 2 of the live playoff's. The night kicked off with a group performance from Team Blake.
Singer: Garrett Gardner (Team Shakira)
Song: "Imagine"
Thoughts: Garrett Gardner kicked off the solo performances for the night in an awesome way. Adam said he was proud of him while Blake called him the complete package. Shakira echoed those words and said it was very cool to have him show that he’s a real artist.
Singer: Holly Tucker (Team Blake)
Song: "How Do I Live" by Leann Rimes
Thoughts: Usher thought it was an incredible performance. Meanwhile Shakira called her reliable pitch wise and said it was amazing performance. Blake said he was beside himself following it and added that she proved that she deserves to be there.
Singer: Kris Thomas (Team Shakira)
Song: "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars
Thoughts: Adam said that he has a great voice but could tell that the nervousness was there, but that was something Blake actually liked that because it matters. Shakira on the other hand complimented his personality and talent.
Singer: The Swan Brothers (Team Blake)
Song: "Fishing in the Dark"
Thoughts: This very fun performance earned a standing ovation from coach Blake Being unfamiliar with the song, Usher said it was “pretty cool.” Shakira said that they’re always so much fun to watch and makes her feel comfortable. Adam described the performance as as “so Blake.” Check it out below.
Then we got a bit of a break from the competition as the unusual pair of Blake Shelton and Shakira teamed up for the first time up on the show with Lady Antebellum's country hit "Need You Now." Which two coaches did the duet better - Adam and Usher on Monday night or Blake and Shakira last night?
Singer: Karina Iglesias (Team Shakira)
Song: "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green
Thoughts: After the performance former coach Adam Levine said that he feels "foolish" for letting her slip away from him. Shakira said she gave the audience everything during the performance.
Singer: Justin Rivers (Team Blake)
Song: "Meet in the Middle" by Diamond Rio
Thoughts: This was one of my personal favorite performances of the night. Not only do I love the song, but Justin did a great job singing it and earned a standing ovation from Blake. Usher said it was “freaking cool” and Shakira said it was a solid performance and it was cool to see him in the middle of the crowd. Blake said it was a big moment for him and that he really knows what he’s doing as an artist.
Then it was time for Team Shakira to show off what they got as they did a group performance of Queen's "We Are The Champions." Shakira's main goal of this performance was to teach them how to own the stage as a team.
Singer: Danielle Bradbery (Team Blake)
Song: "Maybe It Was Memphis"
Thoughts: At 16 years old, Danielle is the youngest contestant on The Voice, but you certainly wouldn't know it from her performance! Just like most of her teammates, she received a standing ovation from Blake. After Usher complimented her boots and pants, he said she looked comfortable up there and that it’s the beginning of a long career. Adam called her one of the one’s to beat. Blake said she brought the song to a whole new generation and said she’s one of the most important artists ever to be on the show.
Singer: Sasha Allen (Team Shakira)
Song: "Oh Darling"
Thoughts: The performance earned a standing ovation from Shakira. Former coach Adam said he’s excited to see how far she goes in the show and thinks she’ll go far. Usher complimented her outfit and called it incredible Shakira said that it was a moment that they’re there for and that she has one of the best voices she’s ever heard.
It was certainly a night full of great performances, but only three from each team will be coming back next week. Who has your vote to move on? Who do you think should be sent home?
Catch the results tonight at 8/7c on NBC as we say goodbye to one singer from each team.
