Adam Wakefield sang "Love Has No Pride" by Bonnie Raitt and all of the male coaches -- Blake, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams -- gave him a standing ovation. Christina Aguilera told the contestant she's a huge fan because he is soulful and so strong. She then admitted she had a dream about him without revealing the details.

Blake told his team member it was his best performance yet because he showed off so much style. Blake then went out on a limb and said to Adam W., "I'll see you in the finale."

Alisan performed "Crying'" by Aerosmith and blew the doors off the place. Pharrell noted she had tapped into her inner rockstar and reminded women how they can be mothers but also be very successful. Christina called her team member a "superstar," and viewers could hear Adam complaining on the side that he wasn't given a chance to talk and gush about her.

Bryan Bautista also wowed the audience with his performance of "1+1" by Beyonce. Adam complimented him for having the "most impressive" ability of all men in the competition to sound effortless and powerful in the extremely high register of his voice. He said it was beautiful.

Bryan's coach Christina, who called the performance "mindblowing," then yelled out to Beyonce in the hopes she'd do a duet with him to this song in the future.

Paxton Ingram surprised fans again by singing "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston. He put his own spin on the classic hit and Adam noted he's "infectious." His coach Blake pointed out how he moves a notch forward and higher every week.

Hannah Huston -- who is the last remaining member on Pharrell's team -- took the stage with "Say You Love Me" by Jessie Ware. Blake said "superstardom looks good" on her, and Christina agreed it was her favorite performance by Hannah this season because she came across confident and unafraid.

Pharrell told America that Hannah is graceful, and every line of a song she delivers is beautiful because so much intention comes through it. Pharrell added she was tender and a great storyteller due to the dynamics of her vocal.

Mary Sarah performed "My Church" by Maren Morris, and like Hannah, it was the best performance she's had all season. She was more connected to the song than ever before.

Nick Hagelin, on "Team Christina," sang "Hold On, We're Going Home" by Drake ft. Majid Jordan. Christina was happy he got to show off his dancing skills because that's a major part of his artistry he brings to the table. Christina insisted Nick is "pulling out all the stops" to stay in this thing.

Shalyah Fearing took the stage with "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. Christina called her "a vision of loveliness," saying she can develop her lower register in time but her higher register is already so strong at age 16. Adam finds her so impressive for her age, telling home viewers she's the most passionate and driven person in the competition.

Another person on Adam's team, Laith Al-Saadi, performed "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. Adam explained how the whole room stopped once Laith opened his mouth, which is an ultimate sign of respect. Adam insisted it's important to keep Laith on the show.
