"The Voice" top eight brought their A-games for another night of live performances on Monday night 

Robin Thicke helped set the mood with the television debut of his new song "Feel Good." Thicke took audiences back with his signature R&B falsetto vibe, kicking it up a notch by climbing on top of his jeweled piano.
With what might be the most talented top eight in all the show's five seasons, it was a night of great highs, literally.
James Wolpert
Tech-nerd-turned-rockstar Wolpert continued to shine by taking big risks with Queen's "Somebody to Love." The Team Adam favorite scored with a dynamic performance, backed with an army of tuxedoed men that Levine called "unbelievably amazing." Wolpert has admitted to falling prey to his "overzealousness" in the past, but it paid off this week, with the singer coming into his new star persona and delivering what Green called "one of the absolute best performances ever."

The Mentalist' on Sunday, Patrick Jane (right) finally comes face to face with Red John, the serial killer he’s tracked since the madman murdered his wife and daughter.
 

Harlem intellectual and “business” man Dr. Valentin Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) started off the season as the new king in town, chipping away at Chalky White’s control of the predominantly black North Side community in Atlantic City. By season’s end, he may have survived a botched assassination attempt, but according to Wright, he suffers a “real spiritual assassination” when J. Edgar Hoover (Eric Ladin) forces him to become his informant for the Bureau of Investigation.
 
“He becomes what he despises at the beginning and that is a servant pretending to be a king, so it all comes full circle,” Wright explains.
Narcisse’s fate is now at the mercy of Hoover — almost inevitable given the historical period the series showcases. Wright says,  “Looking from the outside in, what’s fascinating about that dynamic is that it reflects some level of accuracy relative to Marcus Garvey and the UNIA [Universal Negro Improvement Association].”
He continues, stating, “Hoover’s first Civil Rights obsession was with Marcus Garvey and there were clearly people who played the role of Judas, if you will, to Garvey. And so now, we’ll see where it goes, but Narcisse who has been really villainous before — even though maybe not within his mind — is clearly fallen to the bottom of the barrel now.”
Despite selling heroin, beating Daughter to a bloody pulp, and being an overall creepy albeit dapper guy, Narcisse has never thought of himself as the “bad guy” — until now. “I think for him, what will be interesting is that he will be the only one who knows,” he says. “I imagine that will be a fairly tortuous kernel of knowledge for him because he doesn’t feel that what he’s doing prior to that is undermining of the Negro Race.”
No matter how Narcisse acts, he sees himself as the “representative of the pinnacle of the Race.” Wright states, “Whatever he does to serve himself, serve those like him, serves the interest of the Race. If he has to separate the wheat from the chaff by weaning out the weaker among the Race then it only strengthens the cause, so he doesn’t feel that what he’s been up to is outside the realm of progress. Now, he’s clearly betraying everything that he holds dear so it’ll be an interesting continuation of the journey.”
