Jersey Shore on 'The Voice': Connor, Mia advance to Top 10

Connor Closs is not making empty promises on NBC's “The Voice.” The Middletown resident delivered a scintillating version of the *NSYNC ballad “This I Promise You” on the Monday, Nov. 9, “Y2K Night”-themed Live Show episode. “You are a superstar,” said Coach Adam Levine. “I’ve been saying this about you from the beginning. You are sneakily one of the best singers in the competition without yelling it and screaming it. Your tone is beautiful and rich and buttery, in every register you sing.” Connor got the votes he needed and he's moving on in the competition. So is Mia Knight of Holmdel , who aced the Kelly Clarkson hit “Miss Independent” on Monday. “I am so proud. Mia, you killed that,” said Queen Latifah of 16-year-old Mia. “I love that. You just ate that up. You ate that sweet little bridge into that big, big note, and you look amazing.” The five singers who advanced on Monday were: Connor Closs Lexi Stephens Dakota Cohen Mia Knight Big Country Lillie Kolich of Team Queen was eliminated on Monday. Big Country scored big with a cover of Bon Jovi's “It's My Life.” Thirteen-year old Brianna Cameron of Union did not perform Monday.
