The Voice's Top 12 eighth-season artists performed for America's vote during Monday night's live show on NBC, and three artists emerged as frontrunners.

Each coach currently has three members on his or her team who have also been mentored by Reba. Every finalist got to perform a song either selected by themselves or suggested for them by their coaches.

Two of the standout artists are on Christina Aguilera's team. They are Kimberly Nichole from Seattle, WA, and Rob Taylor from Baton Rouge, LA. Coach Blake Shelton even admitted this early on that the winner of this season is likely to be on Christina's team, which would mark the first time Christina has ever won The Voice. She jokingly replied, "It's about time!"

Coach Pharrell Williams' artist Koryn Hawthorne from Abbeville, LA, also gave an outstanding performance.

Kimberly sang "The House of the Rising Sun" and all the coaches gave her a standing ovation. Coach Adam Levine was in shock and just kept repeating, "What?! What?!" Pharrell could barely get a word in so he let the audience's applause speak for itself. Christina complimented Kimberly for her brand new interpretation of the song and how she delivers a song with such soul.

Rob performed "I Put a Spell On You" by Annie Lennox. He also got all the coaches up on their feet. Pharrell called it "masterful" and said Rob had made the show his own. Adam said Rob pulled ahead in the race, and Christina confessed a performance like that is why she comes back to The Voice.

Koryn sang "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. After all the coaches stood up and cheered, Blake simply said, "Welcome to the Top 10." Christina called her Tina Turner, and Pharrell explained the performance was just so inspiring and he was in awe of her.

Below is a list of the remaining Top 12 artists and what they performed.

- Blake's Hannah Kirby from Sulphur Springs, TX: "Edge Of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks.

- Adam's Brian Johnson from Cleveland, OH: "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" by Sting.

- Christina's India Carney from Brooklyn, NY: "Take Me To Church" by Hozier.

- Pharrell's Mia Z from Hyde Park, PA: "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones.

- Adam's Deanna Johnson from Hazelhurst, GA: "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Hillsong United.

- Pharrell's Sawyer Fredericks from Fultonville, NY: "Imagine" by John Lennon.

- Blake's Corey Kent White from Bixby, OK: "Why" by Jason Aldean.

- Adam's Joshua Davis from Traverse City, MI: "America" by Simon & Garfunkel.

- Blake's Meghan Linsey from New Orleans, LA: "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town.

During Tuesday night's results show of The Voice, two artists will be eliminated from the competition no matter what team they are on. The "Instant Save" will also return, so one person in the bottom three will be saved by home viewers voting on Twitter in real time.
