The Voice: Anyone want Adam Levine’s cell phone number?

Josh Kaufman: “This is It” (Kenny Loggins) – Team Usher

So, last week’s rainmaker takes on Kenny Loggins. The 80’s star is probably not the first artist I would have selected, but I think Kaufman has the skills to pull off just about anything at this point.

The arrangement did Kaufman many favors, allowing him to feature his ability to excel at different genres. Sure, the song definitely had a soul slant, but he came at the song differently in different places. Adam still regrets letting Josh get away, and he should … this performance just served to solidify his top spot.

Christina Grimmie: “Hold On, We’re Going Home” (Drake) – Team Adam

There is absolutely no way Christina recognized Graham Nash, right? I really love taking a song so familiar in one genre and breaking it down into something different (See Iron and Wine’s cover of the Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” for a perfect example). I’m not familiar with this Drake track, but I appreciate how Christina approached it.

It was a lovely rendition – though I’d have enjoyed it more if she never got up from the piano. Usher said it was the type of performance that would ensure her a place in the finals; Shakira said it was her best so far. I’m obviously missing something.

Jake Worthington: “Run” (George Strait) – Team Blake

I loved Jake’s “I’ve got a lot of boots to fill,” and his comment on how ugly his album photo on iTunes was. But his “I’ll take a kiss” wins the day. This kid is just so genuine, and he is a perfect match for Team Blake in every way.

Jake delivers another solid performance, but I don’t think it was as good as last week’s “Anymore.” Shakira focuses on where he’s come from (as a zero-chair turn in last season’s Blinds) to this season’s Live shows, like she thinks he might be going home. I don’t see that happening (But when did it become OK to do brown boots with a black suit?).

Bria Kelly: “I’m With You” (Avril Lavigne) – Team Usher

Huh. The first couple run-throughs sounded a bit rough; not what I’m used to hearing from my sole remaining early-favorite. I’m not sure that this song gives Bria enough of a chance to be Bria – though I’d be curious about someone else of Lavine’s.

It took a couple of moments to get there, but once she found herself, she finished the song strongly. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t the right song for her, and it came at probably the worst time in the competition. Adam pointed to her not connecting to the song, Blake said it felt like a different artist. I hated how it turned out, because she couldn’t get off-stage quickly enough (and even then the camera found her).

Delvin Choice: “Bright Lights” (Gary Clark Jr.) – Team Adam

I loved the story Adam told about Graham Nash putting him in a studio they couldn’t afford, and then a year later they were number one. But more importantly, this was a spot on song choice for … Choice (sorry). We’ve already seen how critical that can be.

Delvin owned the stage for those three minutes, providing that breakout performance the coaches were talking about all night. This was the first time I believed that Delvin could win this whole thing. Though, Carson almost derailed the end of the song; I guess he missed the dress rehearsal.

Kristin Merlin: “Let Her Go” (Passenger) – Team Shakira

I couldn’t have been more wrong about Kristen last week, who was the second highest charting contestant last week, after I picked her to finish in the bottom half. I’m glad to see that audiences connected with her (I won’t begin to entertain the idea that there was any pity-voting because of the microphone challenged … girls’ got chops).

“Let Her Go” is an interesting song choice for Merlin, who is decidedly a country artist. I would have expected a more country-fied version of the song had she been on Team Blake, but the arrangement was fairly straightforward. I think her performance last week was better, but Blake said it was his favorite of her performances yet.

Sisaundra Lewis: “Oh Sherie” (Steve Perry) – Team Blake

I think Sisaundra’s chart placement last week proves that she’ll be this year’s Judith Hill – the best pure vocalist of the bunch that doesn’t score nearly as well as she should. I’m liking this song choice, it’s the type of departure that does work (I think there’s something to be said for the more experienced coaches’ dominance in this area).

If Sisaundra ends up in the bottom three this week, it will be a damn shame (Though after killing this 80’s cover, she’s got to put some circa 1985 Tina Turner in her back pocket stat). “Everyone look up; see there used to be a roof in here,” Adam nailed it. I I think they’ve found a formula that works, hopefully they’ll replicate it.

After my total failure at predicting the bottom two artists, I’m afraid to make the same guess again. History has told us that Tess Boyer is a near lock to go home. I hate to admit it, but despite being so wrong last week I think Kristen Merlin will join them. I’m worried that Bria Kelly will round out the trio, though will be the beneficiary of the Instant Save.

Update: Here are the iTunes Chart positions at 11:00am Eastern (one hour prior to the close of voting).

Note: From previous weeks, these songs also were still in the top 200: Josh Kaufman’s “Stay with Me” (79), Christina Grimmie’s “I Won’t Give Up” (135), Kristen Merlin’s “Stay” (182) and Grimmie’s “Dark Horse” (200).
