The Voice Season 7 Episode 18 saw the Top 12 sing for the glory and to advance to the next round as the home stretch of the season begins at last.

There are no more blind auditions, battles, knockouts, or coaches’ reprieves.

It all comes down to the votes now, and the contenders who have already risen above the pretenders must reach another level to remain in the competition.

Who’s got what it takes and who’s likely headed home? Let’s find out …

Matt McAndrew (Team Adam), "Take Me To Church": Matt brought the house down with this one, thanks to the raw talent of his vocals and the  theatrics as well.

Hands down, the performance of the night in the opinion of many viewers, and even if you preferred others, he cemented his place as a major contender here.

Craig Jamison (Team Adam), "Jealous": The singer’s falsetto stole the show and turned what could’ve been a bland pop cover into much, much more.

Damien (Team Adam), "He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother": Talk about rounding out the night on a high note (and every note) for Team Adam. Powerful stuff.

 

Sugar Joans (Team Pharrell), "Take Me To The River": She’s either a dark horse to go really, really far or going home very, very soon. We’re not sure which.

DaNica Shirey (Team Pharrell), "Creep": Probably the best performance of the night not by Adam’s team. Great song pick and what a fun take on it.

Luke Wade (Team Pharrell), "Thinking Out Loud": Luke had a major slip out of the box, but recovered like a champ and put forth a soulful performance.

Ryan Sill (Team Gwen), "Ordinary World": A bland start to a bland song won’t help him with America, even if he did pull it together pretty well at the end.

Taylor John Williams (Team Gwen), "If": Not the best choice for him, in our view, and we’re hoping for his sake that Gwen’s song pick won’t sink him tonight.

Anita Antoinette (Team Gwen), "Redemption Song": The track has been done so much, it’s hard to stand out on it, but Anita did just that and then some.

Jessie Pitts (Team Blake), "Don’t You Worry Child": She sang and emoted well enough on this to defy critics once again and most likely move on tonight.

Reagan James (Team Blake),"It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over": Lenny Kravitz: Not the most challenging or memorable song choice for the teenager, but she was good.

Craig Wayne Boyd (Team Blake), "You Look So Good In Love": Craig dialed back the strut and the swagger and went a little bit more tender this week.

Yes, he’s got the chops, but will this pile up the votes he needs? That’s the question we were left with after a strong, but not quite spectacular effort.

Well? Who do you think was the best among The Voice Top 12? Who will be headed home tonight when the results are announced LIVE on NBC?
