After securing a spot on The Voice this month, music business major Jared Herzog’s run on the show ended earlier this week.

Herzog competed with fellow contestant Will Breman in a head-to-head duet battle, featuring a cover of “Treat You Better” by Shawn Mendes.

Herzog and Breman both received high praise from the four celebrity judges following their performance.

“Jared, your opening verse was so pretty,” celebrity judge Gwen Stefani said. “You’re way down there, and you still were in control of it. It was beautiful.”

“Jared, [Stefani] is right — you have this range that is pretty amazing,” said fellow judge Kelly Clarkson. “Any time you have a big note it is just projected to Mars.”

Ultimately, the judges chose Breman to continue, making the performance Herzog’s final appearance on the show. Herzog expressed his gratitude to John Legend for choosing him to be a part of Legend’s team.

“I really appreciate all your kind words. This is incredible,” Herzog said. “I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

3. Justin Trudeau re-elected as Prime Minister of Canada

The 43rd Canadian general election took place on Monday, securing a second term for incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau’s Liberal Party scored 157 seats in the Canadian Parliament this election. Amounting to only 39% of the available seats, the party has lost its majority status.

The election has sparked discussion about Canada’s electoral system, as the Liberal Party lost the popular vote to the Conservative Party — the former scoring 33% of the popular vote, and the latter securing about 34.5%.

Despite the Liberal Party’s majority loss, Trudeau seemed to be in high spirits in a speech following the election results.

“We will champion Canada in all its diversity,” Trudeau said. “We will give voice to the voiceless, and in every decision we make as your government, we will always put this country and its people first.”
