It's fan week on 'The Voice' on tonight's episode (May 11), meaning each contestant is dedicating their performance to their biggest fans. Team Kelly Clarkson' s Micah Iverson decided to dedicate his performance to his coach Kelly Clarkson for trusting and inspiring him and investing her time and energy into him.

Dashboard Confessional bandmate Chris Carraba had also sent in a video message for Micah and his performance was introduced by a young fan named Joel all the way from Malaysia.

Micah sang 'I'll follow you into the dark' by indie band Death Cab for Cutie and the coaches went gaga over his performance.

"The thing about doing this show this way is trying to make the performances even more creative. Yours is a kind of performance that you see on an award show" said coach Nick Jonas

While an elated Clarkson praised Micah for "always learning" and noted that not only is he just a great vocalist but "an enormously great artist".

Fans of the show also took to Twitter to appreciate the moving performance by the young artist. 

"@MicahIverson You just gave such a moving, beautiful, emotional & outstanding performance on #TheVoice You definitely deserve to make it to the finale.Y’all need to get to voting. BRAVO MICAH!" wrote a fan. 

While another one wrote, "Micah Iverson singing to Kelly Clarkson. He sets a very cool time opening and the look is so pro. I’m feeling the emotion and loving the tambor of his voice. A very storyteller quality and so easy to get lost. #TheVoice #VoiceTop9."

"I'm so in love with Micah it's so sweet that he dedicated the song to Kelly," wrote another.

Micah's performance was followed by multiplatinum, four-time AMA winner Kane Brown. He returned to 'The Voice' to debut his new hit 'Cool Again'. The track is the latest in a hot streak for the award-winning country star, and marks Brown's follow up his Platinum-Certified album titled 'Experiment' and his fifth consecutive No. 1 single, 'Homesick'. 

Kane Brown has also collaborated with Coach John Legend on the hit song titled 'Last Time I Say Sorry' that released last month.
