Ben Allen took to The Voice stage on Monday evening with a cover of Matt Stell’s “Prayed For You,” hoping to secure an instant save to move on to next week’s finale.

Exuding confidence, Allen worked the entire stage throughout his performance. His song selection was spot-on as it showcased a different side of the country contestant.

“Wow, Ben. That was beautiful I love that song. I could see that as your song, doing stuff like that it’s gonna be perfect,” coach Gwen Stefani gushed.

“Tonight, you showed us this other side to you,” she went on to say. “You’re so classic, yet so current.”

Stefani begged viewers to “please vote this country artist through.”

Earlier in the show, Allen opened up about the advice Stefani has given him throughout the competition.

“The confidence that you showed in me, that’s something I will take with me for the rest of my life,” he said.

If voted through, Ben Allen will compete during next week’s The Voice finale.

The Voice returns on Monday, December 14 at 8/7c on NBC.
