Kristen Merlin, the only country singer not on Blake Shelton's team, showed her softer side with Sugarland's 'Stay,' however her mic cut out. How did she handle it? She kept singing, not missing a note, impressing the coaches with her professionalism.

.@KristenMerlin the mic might have gone off but your talent didn't because it's unstoppable, your performance tonight was heart warming

Sisaundra Lewis - (877)5-KEEP-07

Sisaundra took everyone to church where Elton John gave her a standing ovation for her stunning version of 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.' Coach Blake was on his feet as well. I doubt she'll be going anywhere this week.

How about @Sisaundra?!!!!!' That's not even possible!!!!! Brilliant

Audra McLaughlin (877)5-KEEP-04

Audra McLaughlin made the country classic 'Angel of the Morning' sound fresh and made coach Blake proud. Win or lose, Audra has a bright future ahead of her in country music. Maybe she can write new songs on her new guitar, Blake gave all three of the members on his team. What a guy!

Jake Worthington (877)5-KEEP-10

Jake Worthington stuck to his country roots, performing Travis Tritt's 'Anymore.' His authenticity shined through, despite a few shaky notes.

My god... @JDW_Music is the real deal people!!!!!!

Christina Grimmie (877)5-KEEP-06

The performance of the night went to Christina Grimmie from Team Adam who put her own spin on 'Dark Horse,' and proved she's the front horse to beat.

Wow! As the judges said "give it up for the tiny people!" @TheRealGrimmie was amazing @NBCTheVoice #thevoice

I'm amazed at the level of talent on 'The Voice.' Everyone in the Top 12 has more talent in their little finger than anyone left on American Idol. Two will be sent home tonight and after last night's performances, I'm not sure who it'll be. I'll guess TJ from Team Usher and Dani from Team Shakira, who were both good but not amazing. Jake may also be trouble, but the ladies seem to love him.  Who do you think it'll be? Tune into NBC at 8 to find out.
