The ladies of Team Blake are up next, as Toneisha Harris takes on coach Kelly Clarkson's 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' and Joei Fulco performs a rendition of 'Runaway' by Bonnie Raitt.

Toneisha's singing is effortless as she glides through the lows and highs of Kelly's song. "Toneisha was wonderful as usual! Such a great voice!@blakeshelton #VoiceTop17," tweeted one fan while another stated, "I vote Toneisha Harris and you’re the greatest singer in The Voice world history."

Another fan shared, "Toneisha Harris is so stellar throughout her range. She felt a lil reserved in this performance but that voice was doing back-flips. She exudes sweet confidence and humility. So endearing #TheVoice."

One viewer said, "Go Toneisha...Awesome voice! You can sing anything..great range..great everything and .lets not forget..great coach!@toneishaharris."

John Legend said it was a bold move to sing a Kelly Clarkson song on the show while Blake Shelton called it the best vocal performance of the night. All the coaches commended Toneisha's vocal chops, and fans clearly agree, stating, "Toneisha is a force to be reckoned with in this competition."

Joei's take on Bonnie Raitt's 'Runaway' started off with her remarkably impressive vocals, but it seemed like the arrangement missed the mark, causing her to stumble.

Fans still loved her performance. One of them tweeted, "Joei is definitely a runaway when it comes to this performance tonight," while another wrote, "Joei has such a strong voice..love it!@blakeshelton #VoiceTop17." Another fan said, "Great song choice - Like the country twang in her voice mixed with the rock gravel tone."

Nick Jonas said Joei's voice is fun to listen to, calling the performance unique due to the singer getting to be in her own world. Blake shared his joy at getting to have Joei on his team, calling her voice infectious and complimenting her gravelly tone.

Not all viewers found joy in her performance, however.

"Her voice is good and I wanted to like this but just wasn’t moved. Seemed just a little forced," tweeted one viewer, adding, "She executed some nice grace notes." Another simply stated, "I don’t care for Joei’s voice and didn’t love that so," while one fan shared, "I really like Joei, but this production is overwhelming her. She's trying too hard. Her voice is unique enough that she doesn't need all the bells and whistles. #TheVoice."
