Being the only males and duo left in the competition put a lot of pressure on the Swon Brothers. The pair sang Darius Rucker’s “Wagon Wheel,” a jam Shakira called “fun and loose.” Then they took on a throwback by Merle Haggard called “Okie From Muskogee,” a fun-filled performance that resonated with the crowd. “How could you not enjoy that?” Levine asked rhetorically.
Holly Tucker’s powerhouse vocalist might have one of the biggest voices in the competition. Monday night, Holly decided to break out of her shell with Martina McBride’s “When God-Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” and Rascal Flatts’ “My Wish.” Levine noted a “different character” emerged, telling Holly, “You’ve really shown range and scope.” Unfortunately, Tucker’s performance just wasn’t enough to win America over. She was sent home on Tuesday night’s elimination show.
Danielle Bradbery took on Pam Tillis’ “Shake the Sugar Tree” and Sara Evans’ “A Little Bit Stronger.” Shelton’s 16-year-old prodigy left Usher in awe of her unique “confidence,” especially since she never really sang publicly before “The Voice.” Bradbery’s confidence soared to new heights when Levine identified her voice as “one of the most powerful” he heard in the competition.
Amber Carrington
After Team Adam suffered losing Judith Hill during last week’s elimination, along with Sarah Simmons, Amber Carrington is left to carry the team. The country diva took a few risks this week with Skid Row’s “I Remember You” and Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” They paid off both vocally and strategically, luring loyal country fans to her side during a critical moment in the competition.
