"Josh Kaufman, always giving me my weekly slice of humble pie, because I am a moron, and I keep getting reminded of how stupid I am every time. You're so amazing," said coach Adam Levine, who once had Josh on his team but let him go during a "battle" round.
"I realize that you were mine and now you're not! But dude, forget it. You're getting better and better every time. Usher, I got to give you a lot of credit... [Josh] has really flourished on Usher's team and I'm so proud of both of you guys for doing such an amazing job."
"That was beautiful, I mean, it was," coach Blake Shelton said. "It was powerful and there's no question to me that you're going to be in the finale. I don't even think that's a question anymore. You deserve to be, and you bring a lot of credibility to this show."
"Josh, I think you have such a gift for reaching people with these romantic songs and I think you're milking it, which is great... You always manage to deliver real consistently good performances, real solid performances," Shakira said.
"What Josh has created is a story unfolding for the entire world to see," said Usher, adding that he's an incredible artist and an amazing individual. "[You] touch the hearts of America through a real connection."
Later in the episode, Josh performed a song Usher had picked out for him -- "Love Runs Out" by OneRepublic.
"I'm out of time. I can't speak now because the crowd was too loud!" Adam said with a laugh. "You're amazing and blah, blah, blah. You're amazing. I don't know what else to tell you."
"When he does a song, it's like he's got the song by the throat. I mean, you just have so much control and you just have so much command on the stage. It's like, you're a natural-born killer singer, man, you really are!" Blake explained.
"He's limitless. You can't and shouldn't put artists into boxes," Usher told his team member. "Man, you came out here and you left it all on the stage. You brought the audience into it. It was amazing. I'm so proud -- so proud of your performance and so proud that we're moving forward, man. I feel like this is it!"
