It's high shoulders going into the last night of blind auditions. Both on stage and in the chairs. But in all seriousness, it's also time to have some fun.
Who gets the absolute last places during this year's blind audition? Now the mentors really have to pay attention.
The stage is set for beautiful duets and difficult decisions now that the competition is entering a new phase.
Espen brought in 13 participants during the Blind auditions and must therefore put together a trio. It will be tough to choose between them, but it will also be a great musical experience.
It is a challenge for the mentors to set up very different voices in a duet, but the result is often all the more impressive.
A performance is not just vocal, it is also communication through body language. And sometimes it's fierce enough to scare a poor mentor.
It's your last night with duets, and first on stage we get to see a raw trio from Ina's team.
There are strong artists fighting for a place in the Knockout, and the mentors are forced to make some tough choices.
Although there is a lot at stake for the participants, they manage to deliver incredibly impressive performances from the stage.
The most difficult job as a mentor is not helping the participants to improve. Having to choose between two great artists is definitely the toughest thing they have to do.
In this phase, the participants work even more with their mentor, and then the mentors are not free to be proud and excited when their artist delivers gunpowder on stage.
It is the last night that the mentors themselves get to decide who advances in the competition. Who gets the last spots, and who has to see themselves beaten at the finish line?
When there is a place in the live broadcasts, it is important to mobilize all you can of singing skills and stage charm.
