The second night of Playoffs for season 23 of The Voice happen on Monday night when Team Kelly Clarkson and Team Niall Horan will perform and then the coaches will narrow their teams down from five to two for the Live rounds, which will begin Monday, May 15.
At this point in time, Team Kelly consists of ALI, Cait Martin, D. Smooth, Holly Brand and Neil Salsich—and Parade has an exclusive sneak peek at D.Smooth’s performance, which sounds like liquid silk, as he sings Khalid's "Location."
“That was insane,” Chance the Rapper commented. “There was a lot of improv in it. You started making it your own song. I can picture you in front of hundreds of thousands of fans screaming while you do your improv. I see the vision. This was the first time I felt smoke from any other team. I really have not been worried at all until right now.”

Then Blake Shelton weighed in, “I don’t know that anybody has ever lived up to their name quite like you. Whatever trickery that was with the microphone there at the end, I’m going to be doing that now, just so you know. I will give you credit.”
And Niall Horan said, “D. Smooth, giving the people what they want. It was like one of those songs you would never do the same twice. I just feel for Kelly. Your best performance on the show so far.”

But the one opinion that really matters is Kelly's as she will be making the final decision as to which two of her artists makes it through.
“It’s my favorite thing you’ve ever done on the show,” she said. “It’s funny because Niall brought it up and you were laughing about it, but you sing it different every time. It’s almost like it’s your song. It’s a very rare thing. Congratulations. Awesome.”
Tune in on Monday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC to find out if D. Smooth is going to the Lives.
