The Top 8 performed on the live performance episode of The Voice, but it was coach Adam Levine who stole the spotlight with his newly bleached blonde hair – Carson Daly introduced Adam as “Adam Levine and the hairdo.”
“That’s Adam? I thought it was Meg Ryan sitting there,” Blake Shelton said before calling him “Miley [Cyrus].”
