This week, the contestants performed songs that were chosen by their fans. While all the performances were impressive, Kique garnered special praise from fans as he performed while he was sick. This was because, prior to The Voice season 22 Live-Playoffs, Kique had tested positive for Covid-19 and therefore had to perform in isolation.

Unlike everyone else's, Kique's performance wasn't live, but was a pre-recorded one. He recorded the performance in a real studio close to his home. Fans who witnessed him go the extra mile to continue his journey on the famed reality TV competition series were impressed by his dedication and love for performing.

I'm sorry to hear that #Kique got Covid and I do have to give him props for a solid performance. There are things I love about his voice and tone but I still feel like he overdoes it with unnecessary runs too often. Tonight was pretty good though. @NBCTheVoice #thevoice

Coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton, Camila Cabello and Gwen Stefani returned to their chairs, rooting for the team during the Live Playoffs.

Last week, Kique, who is from Team Gwen, was instantly saved by fans after his wildcard performance. This week, his performance was pre-taped in a real studio.

The song fans chose for him was Call Out My Name by The Weeknd. Despite performing in a studio without a live band or a setup, the contestant still managed to pull it off. From a curtained area Kique also came live on video and revealed that he wasn't "feeling so great."

After his performance, John Legend shared that Kique's voice was rich, especially his lower tone. The coach then added:

"You make every song your own. You’re so daring."

Kique's coach Gwen Stefani claimed that he was "absolutely flawless" and shared that she was proud to be his coach.

To find out if Kique made it to next week's Top 8, viewers will have to wait till Tuesday night when the live voting results are announced on The Voice.


The Voice season 22 airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT only on NBC.
