The Voice's Top 8 sixth-season artists took the stage and performed Monday night, and two of them managed to make history.

Josh Kaufman performed "I Can't Make You Love Me" on behalf of "Team Usher."

"Josh, that was probably as perfect a performance as I've seen on this show in seven seasons. It had magic all over it, man... I think, as a coach, I'm going to be figuring out how to deal with you again next week," coach Blake Shelton explained.

"Your tone, your vocal arrangement, everything, I found it so interesting and so intuitive," coach Shakira told Josh, adding that his performance was "quite the accomplishment."

Coach Adam Levine admitted he's stupid for having let Josh go in an earlier round but he's "purely happy" to see how far he's come and still very proud.

"I think he did amazing. Greater than that, I feel like he came out here and possessed the type of confidence a real artist has... You came out here and you did everything that you said you would and everything that I hoped you would. I want this for you, man, and I'm happy and proud to be your coach," Usher said, adding that it was his best performance thus far.

 
Kat Perkins, who's on Adam's team, performed a surprising heavy metal-version of the electronic hit "Get Lucky."

Adam stood up and started screaming "yes" because he was so excited. The crowd also went crazy and Usher said he wished he had long hair so he could headbang ferociously.

"It was incredible!" Usher said.

"The cool thing about that is you know who you are and what you're about and you hold onto yourself and you obey that inner voice that you have. You're true to yourself and that's great," Shakira explained.

"We knew we had to go big!" Adam noted, referencing how Kat had landed in the bottom three last week but was saved by America's tweets.

"This was all Kat. All I did was help facilitate it, help move it along. Man, bottom three my ass! Vote for this girl, she'd incredible! That was unbelievable... I got nothing to say other than that was one of the most unique, incredible performances. The power -- there's nothing that wasn't amazing about that. I'm on fire!"


Blake's team member Sisaundra Lewis performed "River Deep Mountain High." His artist Audra McLaughlin sang "Forgive," and his team member Jake Worthington performed "Hillbilly Deluxe."

Shakira's team member Kristen Merlin performed "I Drive Your Truck."

Adam's team member Delvin Choice sang "I Believe I Can Fly," while Christina Grimmie took the stage with "How To Love."

During Tuesday night's live results show on NBC, two The Voice artists will get sent home regardless of which team they are on.
