The Voice's top four singers gave it their all Monday night in hopes of making it to next week's finals. With a quartet of stars with such talent and divergent styles, it's anyone's game.

The singers' teams have no relevance - Christina and Adam don't have a team - but it was a good night for both Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green, whose proteges shone bright.

Who will America save, and who will go after four terrific, stripped down performances?

Cassadee Pope continued to look, act and sound the part of a pop star with Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy", while teammate Terry McDermott's "Let it Be" was close to perfection ...

With the stakes high and little margin for error, The Voice's remaining six contenders gave it their all Monday in hopes of advancing to the NBC show's final four.

Even though the coaches' teams have little relevance anymore - Christina doesn't even have one left - it was a good night for Entertainer of the Year Blake Shelton.

• 
  Cassadee Pope - Stand (The Voice)
• 
  Terry McDermott - Stay with Me (The Voice)

Cassadee Pope continued to shine as one of the favorites, looking, acting and sounding the part of a star, while Terry McDermott may have had the best night of all.

The Voice's top eight hopefuls took the stage Monday night with the stakes higher than ever. Only six will move on to next week, and there are no weak links left.

In short, it's anyone's game ... to win or lose.

Everybody came to play, that's for sure. After last week's The Voice was widely touted as as its best episode ever, this one gave it a run for its money. Here's why:

• 
  Nicholas David - What's Going On (The Voice)
• 
  Cassadee Pope - Are You Happy Now? (The Voice)
• 
  Amanda Brown - Someone Like You (The Voice)
• 
  Trevin Hunte - Greatest Love of All (The Voice)

Cassadee Pope and the rest of the contestants on The Voice belted our some impressive performances Monday in what may have been the show's best-ever episode.

Kicking it off before the top 10 got started? Superstar coaches Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton!

The duo premiered their new single, "Just a Fool," and it ruled. Watch their terrific team effort below!

The seemingly odd couple probably would've never collaborated if it weren't for the NBC show, but they sure make you glad it brought them together, right?

Best episode ever?

The Voice's top 10 hopefuls took the stage Monday night for some of the most moving performances in the show's history - this season or any season.

Chief among them? America's Sweetheart, Cassadee Pope, covering her coach's wife and bringing the house down with Miranda Lambert's "Over You" ...

The Voice results show set a new precedent tonight.

Unlike previous seasons, the singers are no longer exclusively battling their team, and the coaches no longer have a say in who stays beyond The Voice Top 12.

In other words, it's anyone's game, and any team could lose two singers in a given week (some speculated this would happen to Christina right off the bat, in fact).

Did it? Find out who was sent home below ...

The two eliminated singers this week are:

The Voice's top 12 performed Monday night, with a twist: 10 will advance, with the coaches having no say. America's votes will be the only determining factor.

Also, no coach is guaranteed a spot in the finals, meaning any remaining singer can be voted off at any time. In other words, it's crunch time. So how'd they do?

Watch their performances and cast your votes below!

Team Blake: Cassadee Pope, Terry McDermott, Michaela Paige ...

• 
  Cassadee Pope - Behind These Hazel Eyes (The Voice)
• 
  Terry McDermott - More Than a Feeling (The Voice)
• 
  Michaela Paige - Blow Me One Last Kiss (The Voice)

Adam Levine is, once again, speaking out in defense of fellow Voice coach Christina Aguilera, who has endured criticism over her weight in recent months.

During an appearance on Ellen (airing Monday), he said:

"It's a very basic thing. She should be left alone. No one should bother or haggle her about her weight or anything she does or says. So, that's it. That's how I feel about it."

Well put.

After two electrifying live playoff rounds, it was elimination time on The Voice tonight.

For eight of the 20 singers. That's right, only three of five would survive from each team - two chosen by your votes, and one by his or her respective coach.

Without further ado, let's break down who moved on, and whose heart was broken ...

Team Adam Levine

America's choice: Amanda Brown and Bryan Keith!

Adam's choice: Melanie Martinez!

Eliminated: Loren Allred and Joselyn Rivera.

The Voice aired its second live playoff episode Wednesday, with 10 of the top 20 singing for their lives. On tonight's results show, only 12 will survive.

Two members of each team of five will be chosen by America and a third by his/her coach.

Unlike Monday's live playoffs, one team totally outshone the other this week. Misfits they may seem, but Cee Lo's is clearly the deeper, more talented squad.

Christina's team did have its moments, though.

Here's her protege Sylvia Yacoub, alongside Cee Lo team member Nicholas David, whose take on a Barry White classic may have been the highlight of the entire Top 20 ...

• 
  Nicholas David - You're the First, the Last, My Everything (The Voice)
• 
  Sylvia Yacoub - The One That Got Away (The Voice)

And now for the other four contestants on Team Cee Lo ...
