Adam Levine was shocked by her strong vocal because he didn't even know she had that in her. Blake Shelton went out "on a limb" and said it was the best performance of the night although she only sang about halfway through the broadcast. Blake noted it was a perfect match of artist, song and connecting with the moment.
Jeffery, who's on Gwen Stefani's team, took the stage with "Dancing On My Own." Adam admitted he actually looks forward to Jeffery's performances every week and he has a unique quality in his voice that can't be taught and could appeal to millions of people.
Blake confessed Jeffery has a real shot to win The Voice, praising Gwen afterwards for potentially being the reality singing competition's first female coach winner. Lastly, Gwen expressed how she was completely blown away by Jeffery. She called him "gifted" and so talented. Jeffery's song, in fact, moved her to tears.
There were a handful of standouts last night, but every contestant in the Top 11 did a great job.
Shelby Brown belted out "You and I," and her coach Adam said that it was so good she deserves a giraffe. She's clearly becoming more comfortable onstage and gaining confidence.
For "Team Pharrell," Evan McKeel sang a beautiful rendition of Smile." Pharrell said he "let people in" and had an extremely intimate moment onstage that certainly inspired a connection with the audience.
Barrett Baber took the stage with "Delta Dawn." His coach Blake kept screaming "yeah" from his seat, saying Barrett took everyone to church.
Korin Bukowski sang the subtle, sweet song "Only Hope." Gwen was so proud of her and said she's come so far.
For "Team Adam," Amy Vachal performed a cool, stripped-down version of "Blank Space." Adam was pleased Amy showed a different side of herself and noted she had an excellent vocal.
Zach Seabaugh charmed all the girls in the audience with "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not." His coach Blake insisted he had a "big night" and he has some Elvis Presley in him. Blake noted his performance was "spot on."
Braiden Sunshine on Gwen's team sang "True." Gwen was blown away by him considering he's only 15-years-old. Gwen complimented Braiden's tone and called him "so cute" and "so perfect." He put a lot of his own spin on the song in a tasteful manner.

Jordan Smith for "Team Adam" took the stage with "Who You Are." Adam told Jordan he's one of the best performers he knows because he always sings with incredible conviction. Adam pointed out he "does the impossible" every single week. It's clear Jordan is still a frontrunner to win.
For "Team Blake," country singer Emily Ann Roberts sang "Why Not Me" with a bluegrass feel to it. Blake insisted Emily Ann is going to be around for "a long, long time" -- not just on The Voice.
One The Voice singer will be eliminated during Tuesday night's live results show on NBC.
