The Voice kicked off its "Live Playoffs" round with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton's teams taking the stage for America's votes on Monday night. While all 10 artists impressed, each team had a standout performance.

An "enthused" coach Pharrell Williams said Craig has got his "own vibe." Fellow coach Gwen Stefani said he had "a moment" and power over the whole room. Blake noted there was a muscle in Craig's vocals and he felt stupid for previously passing him to another team.
"America is going, 'Holy crap!'" Blake insisted.
The star on "Team Adam" was Matt McAndrew with his rendition of "God Only knows," a risk which apparently paid off.
Gwen was almost moved to tears and said he "oozes personality," while Adam admitted Matt had blown him away with his "fearless, unique and sincere" performance. Blake said he sang the song "perfectly" and complimented his amazing song choice. Pharrell called it "awesome."
The remaining members of Blake's team are as follows: Taylor Brashears who sang "Longtime Gone," Jessie Pitts who performed "Holding Out for a Hero," James David Carter who sang "Two of a Kind and Working on a Full House," and Reagan James who sang "Try."
As for the rest of Adam's team, Chris Jamison sang "Don't," Taylor Phelan performed "Cool Kids," Mia Pfirrman sang "Young and Beautiful," and Damien performed "I'm Not the Only One."
Adam revealed Mia had made him the most proud of all the members on his team, while it appeared Damien got the loudest audience applause of the night.
While five people on each team performed, only three singers will continue on. America will select two artists on each team to advance, while that team's coach must choose one other person to go forward.
Gwen and Pharrell's teams will perform Tuesday night on NBC. After all four teams take the stage, the Top 20 will ultimately become a Top 12 and that announcement will be made on Wednesday night.
