"The Voice" Finalists Prove Why They Are Still Standing

The top 12 contestants on "The Voice" performed live Monday night. Each contestant will rely on America's votes to put them through to the top 10, and will be revealed tomorrow night.

Holly Tucker, a member of Team Blake, sang "With A Broken Wing" by Martina McBride. The performance was filled with emotion passion and Blake Shelton revealed that Tucker did McBride proud as well as the city of Nashville. Tucker has changed throughout the competition from a shy girl to a confident young woman.

The Swon Brother's, who are the competition's first duo to make it this far, performed an acoustic version of "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?" by the late country music singer George Jones. This song showed another side of the duo who had sung more upbeat songs like "Fishing In The Dark" last week.

Danielle Bradbery, the youngest contestant on the reality television show, took on "Wasted" by Carrie Underwood. Shelton wanted to see how far her range could go. The judges praised her, and her coach, Shelton, said it was her best performance to date. Just a normal teenager before she auditioned for "The Voice", she impressed three of the judges with her version of Taylor Swift's hit "Mean", and Bradbery has become more comfortable on the stage throughout the competition. Due to the fact that she had never performed in front of a large audience before, Bradbery has come a long way.

Other memorable performances included Judith Hill from Team Adam who sang "You've Got A Friend" by Carole King. Hill showed a softer side of herself and gave the coaches what they expected. Sasha Allen from Team Shakira, took on Heart's "Alone" and showed why she is a powerhouse singer. The night ended with Team Adam's Amber Carrington who sang Martina McBride's hit "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" as a tribute to her mother who she lost to cancer. Shelton also said she probably made McBride proud with the performance as well as Nashville.
