Adam Levine Blonde Collection - Not only did the Top 8 contestants deliver knockout performances, but zeitgeist surfer Pharrell joined his fellow season-seven rookie coach Gwen Stefani on stage for her 2005 hit "Hollaback Girl."
Naturally, Blake Shelton couldn't resist ribbing his best frenemy. "That's Adam?" he mocked. "I thought Meg Ryan was sitting in with us tonight." The country star also compared the rocker's new 'do to Miley Cyrus' and Susan Powter's, among others.
"If people hate it, they hate it, and I'm sure Adam knows that. "I don't need people to like my (expletive) hair," Levine insisted backstage. Shelton even stopped to give buddy Levine a big hug and some support.
"Thanks, buddy," Levine responded.
During the show, the country star's teasing also included a comparison between Levine's new style and contestant Kristen Merlin's.
"You know, when the Sexiest Man Alive steals your hairstyle you can only feel honored," the other platinum-haired contestant, Sisaundra Lewis — who opened the show with an electrifying rendition of Tina Turner’s “River Deep, Mountain High” — joked to TODAY. Kat Perkins might be joining the club.
After performing her daring take on Daft Punk's hit "Get Lucky," Kat told TODAY that she promised her coach that if she advances to next week, "I'll make mine platinum blonde, and we can see if blonds have more fun for reals."
Delvin Choice, on the other hand, likened the coach's look to Slim Shady, Eminem.
Josh Kaufman — who turned in another standout, soulful performance with Bon Iver's “I Can’t Make You Love Me” — told TODAY he had reservations at first about Levine's makeover.
