The ‘Fan Week’ episode saw a total of 11 contestants fight for the top 10 spots.

The 28-year-old singer from Lockport, New York was saved last week from eviction and coming out stronger this week, he even earned a standing ovation from all the four coaches namely Blake Shelton, John Legend, Ariana Grande, and Kelly Clarkson. Joshua, who looked dapper in a dark green suit, hails from Team Legend and is known for his Broadway-style voice. Speaking on similar lines, Kelly Clarkson later praised the singer saying that he deserved his own Broadway show.
