NBC aired The Voice season 22 episode 18 on Monday, November 21, 2022, at 8 pm ET. The top 13 singers of the competition battled for a spot in the top 10, by giving the most terrific performance possible on the theme "dedication."
Coach Gwen Stefani's team member, Justin Aaron, sang Break Every Chain to narrate his battle with depression. Aaron, the last performer of the night, felt that the "chains" of his depression broke as soon as he listened to the song. While the audience awarded him resounding applause, the judges gave him a standing ovation for his performance.
Justin's performance was made beautiful because of the background singers and flickering lights. As suggested by Gwen, he kept looking up while singing, implying that he was beckoning god.
Following this, John said that he resented not turning his chair for Justin in the auditions and Gwen said that she is proud to be Justin's coach. The Voice fans agreed with the judges and praised Justin immensely.

Justin's performance was filled with church-like elements and while his song started from a low key, the audience could not control themselves from cheering for the Kansas native. The Voice fans praised Justin for his amazing performance and felt that he deserved to be the winner.
