AceShowbiz - It's a battle for the champion title on "The Voice" Monday night, December 15. The Top 4 sang three times each: one was a coach pick, second was a duet with their coach, and the other was an original song.
Damien, who scored a spot in the finals after winning the Wild Card, kicked off the competition with a soulful version of "A Song for You". Pharrell Williams said he lifted the entire room and everyone's spirits with the performance, while his coach Adam Levine called it one of his best performances.
Damien later teamed up with Adam for "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". For his original song, Damien got a moody and rich ballad titled "Soldier" written by Max Martin. Adam said it's a good choice for Damien's first original single.
Craig Wayne Boyd from Team Blake Shelton sang an original, "My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face", for his first performance of the night. Blake himself wrote the song, which he dubbed a little gem and very hard to sing, but he thought Craig could pull it off. Pharrell said the song would sell well on iTunes.
Craig and Blake then joined forces for a country rock song, "Boots On". For his third performance, he delivered an emotional rendition of "In Pictures" which he said reflected his relationship with his frequently-absent father and of his relationship with his own son at home.
Chris Jamison of Team Adam started with a duet of Robin Thicke's sexy song "Lost Without You" with his coach. Next, Chris performed an original track called "Velvet". It's a sexy song and fans could hear a little Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars in it.
Chris later returned to sing Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River", which was also perfect for him with his falsetto. Adam called him his young Jedi.
Matt McAndrew, also from Team Adam, got "Wasted Love" for his original track and sang with a choir backing him. Gwen Stefani said she got lost in the lyrics and she thanked him for inspiring her.
Later, Matt and Adam performed "Lost Stars" from the movie "Begin Again" which stars Adam. His third and final song was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". He kept it simple, yet beautiful, and managed to show off his range.
The winner will be announced on Tuesday night at 9 P.M. on NBC.
