After four consecutive weeks of The Voice results that culled the field down from 12 to just four, it’s was all on the line last night. Of the four singers who’ve made it this far, each of them achieved amazing things to do that, but only one will be named … THE VOICE. Who will it be? Team Adam’s Jordan Smith kicked things off with a rendition of “Climb Every Mountain” from The Sound of Music, showing off his range. Up next was Team Blake’s Emily Ann Roberts, delivering her take on “Blue Christmas” and playing to her understated but lovely strengths. Team Blake’s other competitor, Barrett Baber, went for the throwback on Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” with his coach, Shelton.  Team Gwen’s Jeffrey Austin sang “O Holy Night” in an arrangement that really allowed him to show off his abilities and make it unique. Levine and Smith teamed up for a duet of “God Only Knows,” an interesting option for the two of them, who seem suited for pop songs. Then it was Baber’s turn to go solo, and with “Die a Happy Man,” he made it count, connecting with the song and his audience nicely. Roberts and Shelton performed a duet of Dolly Parton’s “Islands In the Stream,” and their harmonies proved to be a terrific fit all around. Austin’s next pick was “Stay” by Sugarland, the kind of song that, again, allowed him to do what he does best and sneak up on people. Baber, for his Christmas song, went with the classic “Silent Night,” but put some of his country twist on it, improving as he went along. Austin then sang a duet of “Leather and Lace” with coach Stefani, perhaps delivering the evening’s most memorable performances overall. Smith sang “Mary Did You Know” for his Christmas song, and wow. He made the last-minute switch to this one and it paid off in spades. Closing out the night, Roberts sang “Burning House” by Cam, a contemporary country song that ended up rewarding her for the risk. And there you have it folks. Tuesday night, The Voice Season 9 champion will be crowned. Who do you think it will – and should – be?
