The top 5 singers on “The Voice” pulled out all the stops for one last chance at musical glory.
Team Blake’s bodie kicked off the final round of performances before the Season 22 finale Monday night with a soulful reimagining of Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking,” moving coaches Blake Shelton, Camila Cabello, John Legend and Gwen Stefani to their feet with his warm vocals.
“I really get the sense that you have a lot of vision for who you are as an artist, and you’re able to translate that vision into how you perform onstage,” Legend told bodie. “It’s very clear, and it’s very compelling.”
The remaining singers on Team Blake, Team Legend and Team Camila were asked to do double duty in their last bid for America’s vote, with each contestant performing a meaningful ballad and an up-tempo tune.
For his follow-up performance, bodie channeled his spirituality for an anthemic cover of “Gratitude” by Brandon Lake, which left Stefani nearly speechless.
“You have a superpower behind you. It’s the truth,” Stefani said. “It really comes from your pure faith that you have. There’s a dimension that intrigues all of us.”

For her first performance of the night, Morgan Myles of Team Camila lit up the stage with an explosive performance of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler.
“You made me want to cry during that performance,” Cabello told Myles. “I just want this for you so bad. You deserve to win ‘The Voice.’ ”
Myles then returned with an angsty, passionate rendition of Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” prompting Legend to dub her the “best country singer I’ve seen since I’ve been on ‘The Voice.’ ”
“Morgan is country and she always has been, but from the beginning, she’s always been her own unique, original, versatile expression of country,” Cabello said. “People love her because she’s authentic, she’s vulnerable and she’s her type of country.”

“This is the start of your career as a singer,” Legend said. “You’ve shown so much poise, so much cool, so much grace and consistency throughout this.”

Cardona closed out Monday’s show with a rousing performance of “Somebody to Love” by Queen.
“I am so thankful that you exist and that a talent like you exists,” Cabello said. “It inspires me; it inspires everybody in this room. And regardless of what happens this week, you so deserve to be here.”

Leatherwood picked up the tempo with a playful cover of “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.” by Travis Tritt.
“You’ve sounded so rich and had this beautiful, mellow vibe throughout the season,” Legend said. “And then you show us that you can do this too. That was so fun and exciting and showed a whole nother side of you.”
