The Voice Playoffs: Night Two

Team Blake and Team Shakira performed on night two of the The Voice playoffs. Each team member performed individually, together, and Shakira and Shelton performed Lady Antebellum's smash hit 'Need You Now'.

While Shelton has a team of four country artists, it was not a surprise that each one sang a country song.    Holly Tucker, a Baylor University student and marching band member, opened the individual performances with the Leann Rimes song 'How Do I Live'. Tucker showed the range of her voice and proved why she got a four chair turn during the blind auditions. For the Swon Brothers, Shelton picked 'Fishing In The Dark' by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The duo had the audience clapping along and received praise from the coaches. Justin Rivers sang 'Meet In The Middle' by Diamond Rio. He also had the audience clapping along and received positive critiques from the coaches. Up last was Danielle Bradbery, the youngest contestant in the singing competition. Bradbery sang 'Maybe It Was Memphis' by Pam Tillis and coach Adam Levine said she is "one of the one's to beat". While she sang the Taylor Swift hit 'Mean' during the blind auditions, Bradbery was able to show off the range of her voice during her performance Tuesday.

Team Blake performed the Little Big Town hit 'Boondocks' for the group performance. Bradbery and Tucker blended their voices together as well as Tucker and The Swon Brothers. The number was filled with high energy.

Team Shakira's team performances began with Garrett Gardner who performed 'Imagine' by John Lennon and showed the coaches why he came back to audition this year. R&B singer Kris Thomas performed 'When I Was Your Man' by Bruno Mars and received praise from the coaches for his unique voice. Latin rocker Karina Iglesias sang 'Let's Stay Together' by Al Green and showed a different side of herself. Even though Levine let her go, he knew another coach would steal her because of her strong vocals. Sasha Allen ended the evening with 'Oh! Darling" by The Beatles. Allen's vocal proved to be powerful.

Team Shakira performed the Queen hit 'We Are The Champions' and had the audience involved in the performance.

The top 16 will be revealed Wednesday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
