AceShowbiz - The third night of Knockout Round of "The Voice" season 12 aired on Monday, April 10 on NBC. The intensified night saw Adam Levine and fellow coaches Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton narrowing down their teams to top five each.
First to take the stage were Andrea Thomas and Lauren Duski from Team Blake. Andrea sang Faith Hills' "Cry" and showcased her high notes. Unfortunately, some dubbed her performance out of place and felt her high notes sounded more like a shriek. Meanwhile, Lauren performed a more soothing song by Alison Krauss titled "When You Say Nothing at All". She flaunted her husky tones, impressing the coaches. Blake chose Lauren over Andrea, while no one stole the latter.
Jack Cassidy and Vanessa Ferguson from Team Alicia delivered flawless performances that night. Accompanied by a piano, Jack sang "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors. Jack sounded nicely emotional throughout the song, but noticeably unsteady at some parts. Meanwhile, Vanessa proved her talent. Performing Gladys Knight's soul classic "If I Were Your Woman", Vanessa nailed the song with her infectious growl, raspy tones and her epic piano performance. Alicia decided to keep Vanessa on her team. No one stole Jack.
Team Adam's Davina Leone and Jesse Larson performed next. Davina took the stage to perform a smoky and sultry rendition of Britney Spears' "Toxic". On the other hand, Jesse provided equally incredible performance, singing "The Letter" by The Box Tops. His rendition of the song caught the heart of the coaches, leading Adam to choose Jesse over Davina. Unfortunately, that night was the last night for Davina since no one from the coaches stole her.
Other singers from Team Adam took the stage, aiming at a spot in the top 20. Mark Isaiah opted for Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" to fully use his pop singing skill. Meanwhile, Malik Devage performed "Rock with You" by Michael Jackson. Mark defeated Malik since Adam seemed to find Mark more appealing. No one stole Malik.
For that night performance, Gwen paired Brandon Royal and JChosen, who had impressed the coaches ever since he flaunted his skill in Blind Auditions. Performing David Guetta's "Without You", JChosen once again proved that he deserved one spot in the top 20. Although Brandon delivered a solid performance singing pop-influxed rendition of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song", he seemingly needed to admit that JChosen owned the stage that night. Gwen chose JChosen, while no one stole Brandon.
Blake put Aaliyah Moulden against Caroline Sky. Aaliyah sang "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, while Caroline opted for a song from Etta James titled "At Last". Caroline's performance indeed radiated authenticity, but Blake wanted young Aaliyah more to stay in his team. Unfortunately, Caroline was eliminated.
Rounding out that night performances, Troy Ramey and Stephanie Rice from Team Gwen showcased their skills. Stephanie opted for Taylor Swift's "Safe and Sound", onto which she imbued her own personality. Meanwhile, Troy flaunted some serious skill by singing "Chandelier" by Sia Furler. Gwen decided to choose Troy, while Alicia felt that eliminating Stephanie would be a bad decision. She made use of Gwen's decision to steal Stephanie.
