Cheesa Laureta sang Already Gone but the coaches noted that her performance was a little pitchy except during the last notes, which she hit so it was an unbalanced performance. Meanwhile, Juliet Simms performed Natalie Imbruglia's Torn where she showed restraint and variety, leading Cee Lo to save this season's rock chick.

Meanwhile, in Adam Levine's team, it was Mathai who got eliminated leaving Tony Lucca and Katrina Parker in the competition for next week's semi-finals.
