The top 12 gave it their all on The Voice last night as they fought for America's vote. The night included some slowed down acoustic songs as well as some high-power tunes that made for a good time for the audience. Let's take a look at the performances.
Singer: Vedo (Team Usher)
Song: "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson
Thoughts: Vedo once again proved he's the full package - he's got the moves and the voice to become a star putting on a very entertaining, almost Usher-like performance. Shakira described it as "vibey" and Blake agreed calling it "awesome" and complimented his dance moves.

Singer: Holly Tucker (Team Blake)
Song: "Broken Wing" by Martina McBride
Thoughts: Usher said that anybody that ever doubted her talent is a "freaking idiot." Adam said it was one of the better vocal performances of the show. And coach Blake, who gave her a standing ovation, said that she did the song justice and that Martina McBride would be proud.
Singer: Garrett Gardner (Team Shakira)
Song: "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys
Thoughts: A VERY interesting song choice and a very different version of one of the most popular boyband songs of all-time. Although, Adam said it wasn't his favorite choice but it was good. Blake agreed to a point but said that sometimes they have to throw an artist a song "out of left field." As Usher said, "no risk, no reward." Your thoughts on Garrett's version?
Singer: Sarah Simmons (Team Adam)
Song: "The Story" by Brandon
Thoughts: Blake said that was one of his all time favorite songs and that he loved the extremes in her voice and that was his favorite part. Adam said that she's one of the best singers they've had and that he's really proud of her.
Singer: The Swon Brothers (Team Blake)
Song: "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" by George Jones
Thoughts: Speaking personally, this was one of my favorite performances of the night, it was a performance that gave me chills. Usher called it an incredible tribute and incredible performance. Adam agreed saying it was a beautiful rendition and that he forgot it was a competition for a moment while watching it. Blake said that he thought this was their break through moment.
Singer: Sasha Allen (Team Shakira)
Song: "Alone"
Thoughts: Adam said every week there's one more reason why he's an idiot for letting her ago. Usher was left pretty much speechless before saying it felt like she "took us to church." Shakira decribed it as "heavenly" and once again praised her as one of the best voices she's ever heard.
Singer: Josiah Hawley (Team Usher)
Song: "The Man That Can't Be Moved" - The Script
Thoughts: An intimate performance topped off with a standing ovation from Usher. Adam said it felt like he found his "sweet spot" and sounded the best he ever has during the performance. Usher compared him to a young Adam Levine and said that he has many levels to him.
Singer: Danielle Bradbery (Team Blake)
Song: "Wasted" by Carrie Underwood
Thoughts: Danielle continues to stand out and dominate as the youngest in the competition. Shakira said that she never detects an ounce of nerve in her when she performs and Adam agreed. He said that she's the one to beat and that if the show ended today she would win.
Singer: Judith Hill (Team Adam)
Song: "You Got A Friend"
Thoughts: Blake called it "Beautiful, power and everything we've come to expect from Judith Hill." While Usher said that she's in control of her own destiny now. Adam complimented her guts to be her own musical accompaniment by playing the piano and said that she's the most talented human being in the competition.
Singer: Michelle Chamuel (Team Usher)
Song: "Call Your Girlfriend"
Thoughts: Adam said she's become one of his favorites because she's passionate and different and unique. Usher, who gave a standing ovation, agreed saying that he's happy the world is being introduced to her and all the aspects of her.
Singer: Kris Thomas (Team Shakira)
Song: "I'll Be There" by Jackson 5
Thoughts: Adam said he had to give him credit where credit is due and that is a task to take on that song. Blake agreed adding that he's always proving himself to people and taking risks. Shakira said that he should feel very accomplished and she was very proud.
Singer: Amber Carrington (Team Adam)
Song: "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" by Martina McBride
Thoughts: Blake said that she really did country music and Nashville proud. Usher said something along the same lines saying that she keeps stepping it up. Adam complimented her on singing a song so close to her heart and that she keeps surpassing his expectations.
