Last night, a few coaches from past seasons lent a hand in advising the Top 8.
Ceelo helped Blake.
Usher helped Adam.
Gwen helped both Christina and Pharrell.
Opening the show was a group performance by this season's Top 8. It wasn't one of the best group performances I've seen on The Voice, but it was okay.

"The Playoffs is where the artists become stars before our very eyes."
~ Christina
In keeping with the pattern of the past seasons, the second night of Playoffs were (mostly) stripped down performances. I think both nights should be that way. When you're going from Top 20 to Top 12 ... it really should be ALL about the vocals. But, that just may be me.

Well, after the Blind Auditions, I have to say that Pharrell seems to have the strongest team this season. In fact, I think most of the future Battle / Knockout Steals will be used on current members of his team, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if most of this season's Top 20 were originally part of Team Pharrell.

Tonight brings to an end Season 7 of The Voice, and I don't think the competition could have been closer. We didn't really have all the 'glitz and glamor' that we did in previous season, but we did end up with four talented and capable performers. So who will be "The Voice" of Season 7?

There is a noticeable decrease in theatrics while on stage and an increased focus on the actual contestant and the vocals.
I've also noticed that if you look at this season's Top 20, they are all pretty much on par with each other when it comes to vocals and growth potential...

Each week gets a bit more stressful, and each week we prepare
ourselves to say goodbye to very talented artists. Last week was
tough. Tess Boyer and (to my surprise) Bria Kelly received the lowest
number of votes and were sent home.
Last night, the Top 8 performed... and tonight, three of them go
home. You really can't get more stress than that.

two more talented artists will be leaving the show. It's actually

Usher was filled with pride last night, and he should have been.
Like the other coaches, His team also gave stellar performances.
The Top 12 have been determined, and starting next Monday on NBC,
The Voice will be in the Live
Shows. The coaches no longer have a say in who stays or who goes
home. Those decisions now fall to the viewers and their votes.

This is turning out to be the best season of The Voice,
so far. The caliber of talent and performances put out by the artists
is unreal, and we're not even at the Live Shows. I can't imagine
what's to come, but based on what we've seen, the Live Shows are
going to be insane!

has attracted this season, I do not envy the coaches in having to

The bitter-sweet Playoffs premiered last night with Blake's Team.
All five performed, but only three moved on to the Live Shows.
I'm still not sure what I think of the new format, where the coach
chooses the three to advance instead of voting. And, I do think that
if it had been decided by votes, the outcome of Blake's Top 3 would
have been different.
