The latest episode of The Voice, which is currently in its 22nd season, saw a four-way sing-off take place. While Kique - who sung The Weeknd's song Earned It (Fifty Shades Of Grey) - remained, Devix, Eric Who and Alyssa Witrado were eliminated.
Speaking previously on the show Kique, who is from Miama, said: “One of my favorite things to do is change songs. I really want Gwen to see that I’m not just a singer. I’m also a musician. I like to create compositions and make music and change things and make them my own.”
