The Voice season 22 returned for an all-new episode on Monday night, November 28, 2022 at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT.

As the Live-Playoffs continued this week, the Top 10 contestants battled it out against each other, vying to get America's vote and advance in the competition. With the semi-finals just around the corner, the artists hoped to give their best in order to impress the coaches and the viewers back home.

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.

Many The Voice season 22 fans took to social media to share their opinions. Although it might not have been his best performance yet this season, fans lauded that despite being down with Covid-19, the contestant still managed to deliver a passionate performance showcasing his strengths.
