The final three, Cassadee Pope, Terry McDermot and Nicholas David, performs 3 times before the vote.
Each reprise one of their favorite performances.
Then they perform a duet with their respective coaches. This is a new twist for this season.
Lastly, a solo performance to cap off their last campaign to solicit the votes for the win. It didn't say if the coaches pick this one or if its their own choice.
Nicholas David
Nicholas David, the one and only artist left that is not in Team Blake, gave his all in his final attempt to win with his solo performance of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire." But it was not meant to be as Cee Lo Green's last man standing took 3rd place.
Terry McDermott
You can hear from Terry's voice that he is sick, but that didn't stop him to give all he's got to "Broken Wings" as his final performance. Terry you definitely rock!
Cassadee Pope
For her final solo performance, Cassadee can do no wrong with her cover of Faith Hill's "Cry."
Yes, Finally its a girl!
Congratulations, Blake for the double win!
I love this is a heart tugging tribute to those little angels and their heroic teachers from Connecticut.
See you on March as we do it all again. Shakira and Usher steps in for Christina and Cee Lo.
Wow! It is the semifinals. We are down to the top 4 performers where they performed 1 song each. I was expecting that we would see 2 or 3 performance per artist. I guess they just needed one song and one judgement, pass or fail, to determine the top 3.
And I think one song did it! Three rose to the expectation. The other one was superb but not as perfect and stellar as the three. But it is not a disappointing fourth because he proven his metal. He is a protege on the rise.
Trevin Hunte
Brooklyn' Trev sings ballad with "Wind Beneath My Wings." Trevin sings big like fireworks. But like all fireworks, there be one or two stray crackers.
I did notice 2 big off notes at the end. Bye bye Trev.
So who would it be? St Nick, Terry or Cassadee?
Nicholas David
Nicholas shines with Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful."
Nicholas sings this one with all the passion in his being. He makes you wanna sing this song to the one you love. But is it too late to catch up with Team Blake's awesome two?
Cassadee Pope
Cassadee takes on Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy"
Blake is such a proud papa when Cassadee sings. I never heard the original but this was so good that I didn't even care. She has the biggest chance to win and be the first ever girl to win The Voice.
Terry McDermott
Terry rocks on with The Beatles' "Let It Be."
Blake's number one guy seems to play second fiddle to Cassadee. But he sure is consistent. Who doesn't love this guy's high rocker voice. He just needs to choose wisely and bring it all the time. He needs to break the mic, seriously!
The top 6 artists sings 2 songs - their own choice and their coach's choice. Christina has no artist remaining so she just sits this one out and comment on the performances from hereon in.
Poor Adam. He suffered the same fate as Christina when he lost his two prized champions this round. I do like both Amanda and Melanie. I think Amanda is a more solid performer Trevin. And being the last artist saved during the knockout rounds speaks volume of her talent. She also gave very surprising performances, most notable was her rendition of Aerosmith's "Dream On".
Melanie is one of my favorites because of her unique and personal interpretations. Her artistry is at a high maturity despite her young age. She is also the most vulnerable as you notice how she is almost teary eyed when critiqued by the judges. That vulnerability makes her like-able and fun to watchers.
With the exit of these two fine singer, it won't be long now until someone is called 'The Voice'.
So who is your pick? Terry, Cassadee, Nicholas and Trevin. Who would win it all? If I can make a prediction at this point, I think Cassadee has strongest chance of winning. She's been in a good run since the start. However, both Terry and Nicholas has the strong chance to snatch the title from her. Trevin is such an amazing singer, but I think he reached his limit at this point.
Round 1
Nicholas David, Team Cee Lo
stu
Cee Lo picks Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." for St Nick.
St. Nick proves he got swag.
Cassadee Pope, Team Blake
Blake's choice for Cassadee is Rascal Flatts' "Stand."
Her confidence is up and that makes her unstoppable.
Amanda Brown, Team Adam
Amanda's song choice is Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman."
It was alright performance from Amanda. She has done better in the past.
Terry McDermott, Team Blake
Terry takes on Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is."
A perfect song choice. Terry shines in this performance.
Trevin Hunte, Team Cee Lo
Cee Lo gives Trevin the Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine." to sing.
A little old-ish and glee-ish, I think.
Melanie Martinez, Team Adam
Melanie confesses with Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy."
Haunting! Her half blue, half black hair reflects her eccentric vibe.
Round 2
Terry McDermott, Team Blake
Blake choose the Faces' "Stay with Me." for Terry to sing.
Love Terry when he goes high with his voice.
Trevin Hunte, Team Cee Lo
Trevin Hunte take on Jennifer Hudson's "And I'm Telling You."
Trevin totally nailed this song.
Amanda Brown, Team Adam
Adam picks and Amanda sings Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again."
Amanda sings this song to a crisp.
Melanie Martinez, Team Adam
Melanie Martinez sings coach's pick: Lenka's "The Show."
This is kid's stuff and I hope the young ones are allowed to vote.
Cassadee Pope, Team Blake
Cassadee picks Avril Lavigne's "I'm with You." to sing.
Love, love, love!
Nicholas David, Team Cee Lo
Nicholas chooses "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz."
Another voting first at The Voice. If the studio version of the song reached iTunes top 10, the corresponding artist will get their iTunes vote multiplied by 10.
Last week. Melanie Martinez's "Seven Nation Army" and Cassadee Pope's "Over You" reached that peak thus was saved from elimination. It does pay to be popular at iTunes. Amanda Brown, Team Adam
Amanda rocks to Adele's "Someone Like You."
Amanda sang the Adele song very well and I like the rock element to it. It's new and fun to watch her on stage like a season pro. Her story as a background singer has already been sold last season and Jermaine Paul won because of it. Would she be more popular if she was associated with a well-known artist? Probably so. However, Amanda's style transformation is amazing. Sexy, sassy and chic.
Results: Advance to Top 6
Cody Belew, Team Cee Lo
Cody Belew emulates Queen's "Somebody to Love."
It is about time Belew does a Queen song. However, I would have loved it if he took it to a rock direction rather than going to church. He seems better if he is at that element because his personality shines more. Bam bam didn't come to the forefront this week so he got a bye bye instead.
Results: Eliminated
Terry McDermott, Team Blake
Terry sings a Blake original - "Over".
Oh no, Blake giving his song for Terry to sing has a not so good vibe to it. It seems a bit self promoting on the part of the giver. Besides, the song was more country and Terry did it enough to make it rock. Or the song didn't allow him to shine. It was alright performance but it did took him to the next round.
Results: Advance to Top 6
Melanie Martinez, Team Adam
Melanie tops Alex Clare's "Too Close."
Another hit for Melanie. This was a very hear warming performance from Melanie. I guess that is what heartbreaks do. You deserve better, Ms. Martinez. Enjoy the success you have at the moment. Enjoy reaching the iTunes Top 10 for the second time in a row.
Results: iTunes Top 10 andadvance to Top 6
Dez Duron, Team Christina
Dez takes on Justin Bieber's "You Smile."
Dez, the last man standing in team Christina. Dez made this song old. I guess the Buble vibe didn't work. He is a cream but the top 6 is the cream of the creams. So no more Team Christina from hereon in.
Results: Eliminated
Trevin Hunte, Team Cee Lo
Trevin goes big with Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All."
Trevin goes back to what he do best. Awesome performance from Trevin. His voice does shine through when he sings. But is he still the top dog in Cee Lo's team. He better watch out because the man next to him is making grounds and I think he is on top right now.
Results: Advance to Top 6
Nicholas David, Team Cee Lo
Nicholas David vibes to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On."
"Are you blind?" ask Blake. LOL! I did also ask myself that question. Whether the look was bad or a sign of idol worship, St. Nick was striking in all cylinders. He hit the iTunes 10 with this performance. Great job Nick. Now bright back the golden locks next week. Results: iTunes Top 10 andadvance to Top 6
Cassadee Pope, Team Blake
Cassadee digs Michelle Branch's "Are You Happy Now?"
Cassadee' star is rising. She hit her second top 10 ranking in iTunes with this rocking rendition. IMHO, she is the one to beat. Blake would surely have the biggest grin that would connect both of his ears. Adam would surely be pissed.
