Sticking to their low-key folksy tunes Jim and Sasha Allen easily managed to serenade the coaches.

After their performance ended, Blake shed a light on their journey saying, “I would say since this season began, I've seen the greatest strides, the greatest improvement [in you].” He added, “I'm telling you, last week was unbelievable and this week, you did it again."

Blake Shelton then praised Ariana Grande saying that she did a good job as their coach. The latter too shared her opinion after the duo’s set focusing on how they tackle, “these tremendous songs” that they pick “so fearlessly”. She added, “you do it so beautifully and so carefully and so stunningly each time. I'm so moved by you, and I hope America votes for you both."

“They are super talented! but it’s sad they made it further than bella denapoli and katie rae”, tweeted one user as another chimed in, “This was very beautifully crafted. Jim reminded me of the guy from Moulan Rouge and Sasha has really come into his voice and is really blowing me away!” The next one said, “This was probably their best performance yet, it was so soothing and made me want to close my eyes and enjoy the music, some people can’t appreciate what’s right in front of them, I’m sure Jim and Sasha will make it!” And, one concluded, “I love their story. I don’t love their performances. They obviously enjoy singing together but their voices are not strong.”

‘The Voice’ Season 21 airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 pm PT/ET on NBC.
