Filipino-American Cheesa Laureta survived the instant elimination on the US talent search The Voice on Monday, April 23 (April 24 in Manila) with her powerful rendition of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing.
Cee Lo Green picked James Massone to be eliminated from his team after his lackluster performance of Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are while Adam Levine let go of Pip who sang Keane's Somewhere Only We Know.
Cheesa Laureta will now have to face America's vote, the results of which will be announced live on Tuesday night, April 24 (morning of April 25 in Manila).
Last week, Laureta landed on the bottom three of Team Cee Lo based on votes and had to be saved by mentor Cee Lo Green to move on in the competition.
Cheesa described being in the bottom three as a "life-changing experience" and promised to improve her game by picking I Have Nothing as her song for this week which she claimed she's very comfortable with being able to slay it even she was a little girl.
The judges praised her performance, with singer Christina Aguilera saying she is proud that Laureta went for it. Mentor Cee Lo Green was obviously pleased by his protege, saying she did a wonderful job. "It's time to start investing on the next powerhouse singer," he told Cheesa.
Cheesa Laureta dedicated her performance to her brother Troy, who was with her backstage.
