Following the latest rule change and The Voice results show that saw only one singer cut last week, 11 remain to fight for the Season 9 title.
Only one artist will exit after Tuesday's episode, bringing us down to 10, and then one more next Tuesday, paring the field down to 9 singers.
Then ... FIVE will exit at once the following week, giving us our final four. So basically, all of these early weeks are auditions for that night.
Let's see how the Top 11 did Monday night on that note ...
Shelby Brown: "You and I" by Lady Gaga
Seeing Shelby sing something that wasn't true country (though Gaga's epic track has a tinge of it and more) was a highlight of the evening.
Evan McKeel: "Smile" by Nat King Cole
Known for his energetic performances, Evan dialed it back, seeking to connect the audience to a moving song with an infectious message.
Barrett Baber: "Delta Dawn" by Tanya Tucker
Basically doing his thing, Barrett's gritty voice and presence were more than up to the task; Voice voters will decide whether to keep him.
Korin Bukowski: "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore
Looking to bounce back from being last week's Instant Save, Korin delivered a tender performance and looked even more like Coach Gwen.
Amy Vachal: "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift
Great cover and arrangement by Coach Adam, as this Taylor Swift hit felt original, unique and special in its own right. Will it be enough?
Zach Seabaugh: "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not" by Thompson Square
It is what it is at this point for Zach. He needs the teenage girls to vote him on and he did little to disappoint them with his latest effort.
Madi Davis: "Love is Blindness" by U2
It was a U2 cover, but Madi channeled her inner Adele and ... we don't even know what. But it left her in tears, and Pharrell leaping from his seat.
Braiden Sunshine: "True" by Spandau Ballet
Coach Gwen said she is trying to avoid the stigma of being a 15-year-old, but was a song that preceded him by decades asking too much?
Jordan Smith: "Who You Are" by Jessie J
Like Madi, Jordan was in tears by the end of this, because it just "feels so good to say it, that it's OK to be who you are." He's also a great singer.
Emily Ann Roberts: "Why Not Me" by The Judds
Coach Blake praised her for turning a Judds song into a bluegrass number, and while she may play to a niche audience, she does it with panache.
Jeffery Austin: "Dancing on My Own" by Robyn
Range. That's what Jeff boasts more than anything else, and this was yet another prime case of why he's here and may have staying power.
Who do you think will get the chop tonight? And who do you think has the horses to survive not only Tuesday, but until the final four?
