I think Christina Grimmie is breathing a sigh of relief right now.
The presumed front-runner on The Voice needed an instant save to survive Tuesday night’s elimination show.
With Jake Worthington and Josh Kaufman receiving the two highest vote totals after Monday’s show, Christina had to duke it out with Team Adam colleague Kat Perkins and Team Shakira’s Kristen Merlin for the instant save.
Christina got that save and now advances to The Voice Season 6 finals Monday night at 8 p.m.
Here are the grades for the save-me songs, followed by photos from tonight’s performances.
Kristen Merlin: She’s going to tackle the Carrie Underwood hit, “Blown Away.” Really weak start for Kristen. In fact, this first verse is the most off-key I’ve heard her. She finds her stride on the chorus, though. Oops, there was a real bum note there at the end. That performance was not indicative of how well Kristen can sing. Grade: C
Kat Perkins: What is this, Carrie Underwood night? She’s singing “Good Girl.” Not another Heart song. She’s splendid on those. Better than she sounds on this, though she’s turning in a stronger performance than Kristen. It must be tough to try to show off all your vocal prowess in a minute with your Voice fate on the line. That was OK, not great. Grade: B
Christina Grimmie: I”m shocked that she’s in this situation. She’s singing “Apologize.” She not starting very strong either. But, dang, this young lady needs to be in the finals. Listen to her voice soar. I still think she’s the best singer left on the show. I think she might want this just a little. Amazing ending to that song caps off a final 45 seconds filled with vocal gymnastics. Grade: A–
