Scottish rocker Terry McDermott performed a very powerful song that enable him to get into the final eight of The Voice, but his performance was overshadowed by Christina Aguilera’s performance.
The 31-year-old mentor dance up with her team to the tune of Let There Be Love, a track from her latest album, Lotus.
Final results aren't in but all it's being reported the LP has shifted merely 75,000 to 80,000 copies; to put that into context, her 2010 flop, Bionic, sold 110,000 copies straight off the bat and One Direction has shifted over 500,000, some even implying that the figure closer to 600,000.
It is expected that Christina will probably end up in the Top Ten, but without much fanfare - the Twilight soundtrack is even outselling her.
This may explain why Christina tried to dance, even though, she wasn’t a natural dancer.
Still, Aberdeen-born Terry breathed a huge sigh of relief prior to shaking his clench fist in total delight as he won through on the hit TV singing show.
Terry was the sixth contestant to make it to the final eight. He got a huge hug from team captain Blake Shelton because of the news.
Sylvia Yacoub and Bryan Keith got kicked off after the public had voted.
After Christina's performance, the judges gave their thoughts on what they had seen the night before from the final ten contestants.
'Based on the crowd it was really electric and energetic and I was receiving all I gave in that performance,' said Belew.
'I wanted to show everyone across America that that is the sort of artist you would see if you came to see me in an arena.'
Carson Daly then discloses that Team Cee Lo’s Nicholas David, who performed a rendition of Bill Withers “Lean On Me” was the first contestant saved by voters.
The second contestant who got lucky was Team Blake's Cassadee Pope, who then got up on stage with Belew to perform with the country band Rascal Flatts.
Right after the performance Team Adam's Amanda Brown was asked what the best advice her mentor had given her.
'That would be for me to be myself and stick true to what is right for me," she answered.
Carson Daly then announced that Team Christina's former football star Dez Duron was the next singer that made it to the next round.
Team Cee Lo's Cody Belew soon joined him.
When Team Levine performed on stage, Adam Levine had ditched his sweater to show off his tattoos and perform the Queen classic 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'.
As soon as the performance was finished, Christina poured compliments on former Yale quarterback Dez Duron.
'Dez is someone who can do anything. He is so young to have the musical chops he does and the talent he has,' she said.
'He has the depth and sustainability to stay in the competition, and he is an amazing voice to be reckoned with.'
Carson then announced that Team Adam's 17-year-old New Yorker Melanie Martinez was the fifth artist that got through to the next round.
Ahead of the next result, Team Blake and Team Christina performed Pat Benatar's 'Hit Me With your Best Shot', which was picked by viewers using a Twitter hash-tag vote.
Rocker Terry McDermott got a big hug from Blake when he was announced to be the sixth contestant saved by the voters.
Team Cee Lo's Trevin Hunte also sent through the next round.
Amanda Brown was the last singer to be saved by the public and sent through the next round.
