Survive and advance

Fredericks’ intimate rendition of “Shine On,” written by northern Michigan’s May Erlewine, impressed the judges — and apparently the shows´s viewers, who pushed the single to the No. 3 spot on Tuesday’s iTunes singles charts.

Erlewine, like Davis, is a member of Michigan’s Earthwork Music, a collective of Michigan folk musicians. For years, Davis has been Erlewine’s go-to guitarist for her touring band.

Each singer performed two songs on Monday evening’s show. For his first number, Davis rolled out a rollicking, New Orleans-influenced take on U2’s “Desire.”

“I feel like you’re making your biggest statement at the most important time,” said celebrity mentor Adam Levine.

With the season finale just a few weeks away, it’s clear that the contestants are pulling out all of the stops.

Koryn Hawthorne and Kimberly Nichole delivered big performances of rock numbers. Hawthorne brought an epic orchestral rendition of Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” while Nichole blasted through a searing arrangement of Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana.” Pop country artist Meghan Linsey went for maximum red state appeal with a soulful version of “Amazing Grace,” while India Carney tried to tug on some heartstrings with her version of “Glory,” from the movie “Selma.”

Even folksy rocker Sawyer Fredericks brought out a team of six dancers to dress up his second performance of the evening.

But where others went big, Davis went small. His second performance of the night was an intimate solo version of the Beatles’ “In My Life.”

“That performance was absolutely mesmerizing,” said Levine.

Davis claimed an iTunes bonus last week for getting his recording of Sting’s “Fields of Gold” into the top 10 in the iTunes charts. This week Davis had to do without the bonus: Both of his singles fell short of the top 10.

Fredericks managed to get both of his tracks into the top 10, while Linsey’s recording of “Amazing Grace” was the only other single from “The Voice” to crack the top 10.

Davis didn’t need the bonus this week. He made the top four, which kept him safe from elimination. Nichole and Carney landed in the bottom two and faced off for the final spot. The voters on Twitter narrowly chose Carney to advance.

Davis will make his bid for the show’s finals on Monday.
