The Voice Season 16 Episode 18 Live Blog: Top 13 Performances, Plus Predictions For Who Will Be Saved or Eliminated

#1 Gyth Rigdon (Team Blake)

During tonight's show, the fans get to choose the songs that the remaining contestant's sing. The first singer of the evening is Gyth Rigdon. The fans chose "Nobody But Me" by Blake Shelton. During practice, Blake said Gyth sang the song better than he ever did.

Once Gyth hits the stage, he puts on the kind performance we've all come to expect - one of a consummate performer. He starts out playing the guitar and singing but halfway through abandons the guitar to put all the effort into the vocals. We got to see Gyths incredible range, along with a rasp that hasn't often been featured.

"You carry yourself with great star presence. I love how you own the stage … you belong here," said John.

#2 Kim Cherry (Team Blake)

Up next is Team Blake's Kim Cherry. Kim grabbed the hearts of America with her crazy rapping skills. The fans chose "What a Man" by Salt N Pepa for Kim. Kim comes on to stage with her signature energy. Her performance is on point and the crowd seems to be having a great time. After the performance, Kelly said if Kim remains in the competition, she hopes they'll get a chance to hear more of her singing, just so the audience knows what she's capable of. Either way, we really hope she stays in the competition.

  • Prediction: We think Kim has a decent chance at the Top 8.
  • iTunes Link: You can download and listen to Kim's Top 13 performance, here.

#3 Jej Vinson (Team Kelly)

Up next is. Team Kelly's Jej Vinson. The fans chose Nick Jonas' "Close" for Jej. Kelly worked with Jej on pushing himself out of his "smooth" comfort zone. Jej also shows off his keyboard skills as well. The performance was very technically accurate, but there still feels like something was missing in terms of intimacy. Adam commented on Jej's unique tone, saying you could recognize it anywhere. Kelly said he performs with a lot of style and grace. Jej was saved by Kelly last week and we hope he'll be moving forward this week as well.

#4 - Andrew Sevener (Team Blake)

For Andrew, the fans picked "She Got The Best Of Me" by Luke Combs. Andrew's performance is full of energy, though it didn't feel like his best performance. With so many country singers in the competition, each one will have to up their game in every performance.

  • Prediction: Andrew may be in trouble tomorrow night.
  • iTunes Link: You can download and listen to Andrew's Top 13 performance, here.

#6 - Oliv Blu (Team Blake)

Up next is Team Blake jazz singer, Oliv Blu. The fans chose Sade's "Smooth Operator." Oliv is one of the most unique vocalists on Team Blake and The Voice season 16. While Oliv's rendition of the song was beautiful, it may not have been the best choice for her specific talents. John really loved the performance, saying he regrets she's not still on his team. Blake said she came out of her shell and became a true artist tonight. We've been a fan of Oliv all along, but ballad's don't always go over great with audiences. We hope we'll see her back for the semi-finals.

#6 - Dexter Roberts (Team Blake)

Up next is Team Blake's, Dexter Roberts. The fans have chosen "Something Like That," by Tim McGraw. This song was a perfect pick for Dexter's voice. There was a tricky moment in the middle but the fans appeared to enjoy listening as much as Dexter enjoyed performing. Kelly called the performance strong. Blake said it was one of Dexter's best.

  • Prediction: We think Dexter has a good chance of making the Top 8.
  • iTunes Link: You can download and listen to Dexter's Top 13 performance, here.

#7 - Shawn Sounds (Team Legend)

Up next is educator and singer, Shawn Sounds. The fans have chosen, "A House is not a Home" by Luther VanDross for Shawn's Top 13 performance. From notes one, Shawn killed this performance. Each not was heartfelt and perfectly executed. The performance earned him a standing ovation by the judges.

"You're incredible," said Adam. " Best performance of the night and of the season ... I think you're unbelievable."

#8 - Celia Babini (Team Legend)

Up next is coach save, Celia Babini. The fans have chosen "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. We love Celia's tone, but she struggled a bit in the opening verse. When she hit the chorus, she got into the better part of her range. The performance is very dramatic but if fans didn't vote her through with "Chains" last week, we aren't sure this performance will take her to the finale.

  • Prediction: We think Celia may be in trouble tomorrow night.
  • iTunes: You can download and listen to Celia's Top 13 performance, here.

#9 - LB Crew (Team Adam)

Up next is Team Adam's LB Crew. LB returned last week after winning the Comeback Stage. Fan's chose the Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You." The song is really well suited to LB's R&B sound, but we weren't in love with the high note at the end. It felt a little forced. LB has an incredible voice and he was clearly overjoyed to be back on stage. Adam called him a "kind, good" person who performs with all of his being.

  • Prediction: We think LB could be in trouble tomorrow night.
  • iTunes Link: You can download and listen to LB's Top 13 performance, here.

#10 - Mari (Team Adam)

Up next is Team Adam's Mari. The fans chose "Foolish" by Ashanti. Mari has a great sound. There were some tricky sections, though, that sounded more like screaming than singing. Adam calls Mari a "superstar" and an artist. "You have arrived," said Adam. He encourages the fans to vote for her.

  • Prediction: We think Mari will be eliminated tomorrow night.
  • iTunes Link: You can download and listen to Mari's Top 13 performance, here.

#11 - Carter Lloyd Horne (Team Blake)

Carter is a getting a lot of love from fans and this week they chose "Let it Go" by James Bay. During the rehearsal, Blake said Carter struggled a little with becoming vulnerable in his performances. We'd say he hit the mark tonight though. His tone is so surprisingly mature for one so young. Blake says he "killed it" tonight. We don't think he'll have any trouble pinning down a spot in the Top 8.

#12 - Rod Stokes (Team Kelly)

Up next is Team Kelly's Rod Stokes. The fans have chosen "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge. Rod performed the heck out of this song. Probably one of the best performances of the evening. Definitely one of our favorites from Rod. This is exactly what he needed to do to distinguish himself from the many country singers in the running.

#13 - Maelyn Jarmon (Team Legend)

The final performer of the evening is Team Legend's, Maelyn Jarmon. The fans chose, "The Scientist" by Coldplay. Maelyn puts her own touch on it and transforms it into something so beautiful, there's no way she won't be in the finale. She has incredible range and control and puts on a passion-filled performance every time. This was one of our favorite performances so far and one of the best of the evening.

"You're the best singer in the competition," said John. "That skill level isn't normal and we are blessed to have you in the competition."
