Monday night was the second night of Live Shows on The Voice with the Top 9 giving it their all in hopes of winning America’s vote because Tuesday night's results show will see the elimination of the four artists who will not make the Dec. 18 Season 24 finale.

The Top 9 consists of coach John Legend’s Lila Forde and Mac Royals; Reba McEntire’s Jacquie Roar, Jordan Rainer and Ruby Leigh; Gwen Stefani’s BIAS; and Niall Horan’s Huntley, Mara Justine, and Nini Iris, who sang songs selected by the fans.

Then to fill in the two hours, the Top 9 were divided into three groups of three to perform songs by Taylor Swift.

The Voice Top 9 performances

Ruby Leigh

Team Reba's 16-year-old classic country singer Ruby Leigh kicked off the night, putting her spin on John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Road.”

John said: “I have been a fan of yours since day one. I love that you are so authentically you and that you authentically sing the music that means something to you. I love those high notes. As clear as a bell.”

Reba said: “Man, that is a get it, going, quick. All the notes we talked about, you sang it to perfection.”

The first trio of the night was Huntley, Lila Forde and Mac Royals singing Taylor Swift’s “Exile.”

BIAS

Team Gwen’s last man standing, country soul preacher BIAS, performed second with his take of “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts.

Niall said: “You know how much of a fan of yours I am. I think that’s your most mature performance of the season. The fans picked the right song. Your levels of consistency are through the roof. Well done.”

Gwen said: “I agree. I am just so excited that you’re on my team and I got to know you as an artist. There’s something so authentic [about you]. Your voice is so gorgeous, and you have such great stage presence.”

Jacquie Roar

The fans went outside country music for Team Reba’s Jacquie Roar, selecting Sia’s “Roar” because they love when she belts out a tune.

John said: “This was such a challenging song to sing and Sia is such a challenging songwriter. You never know when someone tries to sing one of her songs, but you knocked it out of the park. It was stunning to see your range on display.”

Reba said: “I am so proud of you. You are the complete package. I was feeling it for you, I was encouraging you with all my heart, and sending you good vibes.”

Jordan Rainer

Team Reba’s Jordan Rainer, who got into the Top 9 via the Instant Save last week, performed “Ol’ Red” by her fellow Oklahoman Blake Shelton.

Gwen said: “That was such a trip. That’s my home Tishomingo that you’re singing about. That’s where I live. I could never imagine a female doing that song and that was crazy. That’s probably my favorite performance you’ve done.”

Reba said: “You did all of America proud. You handled it like a pro.”

The second trio of the night was Jacquie Roar, Mara Justine and Nini Iris on Taylor Swift’s “Don’t Blame Me.”

Huntley

Next up was Team Niall’s blues rocker Huntley who performed a song that Niall declared perfect: “Way Down We Go” by Kaleo.

John said: “I am seeing the vision. Joe Cocker meets Hosier. I see you as an artist. You are such a flawless vocalist, but I really see where you want to go. It’s compelling. I’m a fan.”

Niall said: “Again and again and again, Mr. Consistency. The fans picked this, and it was the perfect song for you, and you smashed it yet again.”

Mara Justine

Team Niall’s New Jersey soul singer Mara Justine took to the stage with the fan-chosen “Parachute” by Chris Stapleton.

John said: “I have never heard you hit notes like that before. I think this is your best vocal performance. I have seen different sides of you. I regret you are not on my team.”

Niall said: “That was crazy. Just unbelievable, a completely different side we hadn’t seen yet.”

The third and final Taylor Swift song of the night was the Grammy-winning “Mean (Taylor’s Version)” sung by BIAS, Ruby Leigh and Jordan Rainer.

Mac Royals

Team Legend’s Mac Royals, the final R&B artist in the competition, suaved his way through “Love T.K.O.” by Teddy Pendergrass.

Reba said: “I was thinking back to when you walked on stage in the Blind Auditions with your sunglasses and hat. What a journey. You have just soared. Great job.”

John said: “He sings like a pro. He sings like a super star. I just love watching you embrace the role you have been given. You are killing it every single week. I’m so proud to be your coach.”

Nini Iris

Team Niall’s New York pop singer Nini Iris took on the title song from the James Bond film “No Time to Die” by Billie Eilish.

Gwen said: “I am just sitting here blown away. You are so tasteful. Whatever happens, I root for you outside the show because you’re so gifted.”

Niall said: “You’re going to be around a long time. Your ability as an artist is so different. It’s going to be amazing to see what happens after this show.”

Lila Forde

The final act of the night was Team Legend’s Lila Forde who at the behest of her fans sang “River” by Joni Mitchell.

Reba said: “You have got to feel so good after that performance. I am so glad you didn’t listen to the people who said you didn’t have what it takes. You have the ability to touch our hearts.”

John said: “Oh, my lord. You stopped the show again. It had so much wisdom and heart and musicality, it was stunning.”

The Voice returns Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC when the Top 9 become the Top 5 and head into the finale.
