The four coaches in the on-going Airtel The Voice Nigeria season 2 saved Yimika, Wilson, Glowire and Jahtell during the second episode of the Live Show on Sunday, September 3, 2017, leaving 12 other talents up for public vote to remain in the competition.

#TeamPatoranking’s Ebube steered the first performance of the night with the rendition of Nico & Vinz's “Am I wrong?” Up next was Annie C's rendition of Sade Adu’s “No Ordinary Love”. The third performance was from Daniel who performed Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” and Yimika wrapped up #TeamPato’s performances with Adekunle Gold’s “Sade”. Patoranking saved Yimika, which means Annie, Ebube and Daniel need public votes to remain in the competition.

Wilson was the first to take on the stage in #TeamYemi Alade with his rendition of Mary J Blige’s “No Drama.” Then Oge performed a rendition of Jennifer Lopez' 'Love Don't Cost a Thing.' The third act was Majeeka with her interpretation of Seyi Shay's 'YOLO.' Finally, Symeca performed Michael Jackson’s “Remember the time”. Yemi Alade chose to save Wilson, putting Symeca, Oge and Majeeka up for possible eviction.

For #TeamWaje, Obichi was the first to come on stage. She performed Beyonce’s Lemonade hit, “Freedom”. Arewa was up next with her rendition of Toni Braxton’s classic, “Un-break my heart”; Shapera took to the stage to perform SIA’s “She Wolf” and J’Dess delivered the first African music of the night with the rendition of “Is it because I love you” by young Nigerian rapper, Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil’ Kesh. Ultimately, Waje picked Glowire. Obichi, Shapera and J’Dess fate to remain on the show now lies on public votes.

Jahtell was the first to perform for #TeamTimi. She delivered a rendition of Etta James’s “Something got a hold of me.” Kendris was up next with Bruno Mars’s “24 Carat”; Idyl delivered with his take on Lucky Dube’s “Prisoner” and Victor ended the Live show for Team Timi with Banky W’s “Jaiye Ori Mi”. Timi saved Jahtell. As a result, Kendris, Idyl and Victor are now up for possible eviction.
Four contestants out of remaining 12 will continue in the competition through public vote while eight will be evicted from the show.
