Reggae artiste Anita Antoinette had the four celebrity judges on "The Voice" each giving a standing ovation for her rendition of Bob Marley’s Turn Your Lights Down Low.
Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, and Blake Shelton praised her exceptional talent with Pharell saying "This is a great day for you, because you have four people who can take you all the way there." This was Antoinette’s second attempt at the competition and Levine said she did her homework and returned to make an impact.
