As The Voice semifinals ALWAYS are, tonight’s results ought to be a real nail biter. When half the field are heading home in one fell swoop, there’s likely to be at least one unpredictable result.
The Voice Season 12 Top 8 Polls – Vote for Your Favorites
The Voice 12 Recap – Top 8 Live Blog (VIDEOS)
For instance, The Voice watchers had Hunter Plake pegged as a sure thing for the finals. Guess what? Maybe not so much. Lauren Duski and Chris Blue seem to be sure things for The Top 3. Both singer notched #1 and 2 respectively on iTunes overall chart. But Aliyah Moulden had the pimp spot and a Christian cover. She landed at #7 on the chart. When I checked the chart at 12:05, five minutes after the vote closed, Hunter was in the Top 10. Either Aliyah or Hunter will take that third spot. And I’m thinking the singer who doesn’t will win the Insta Save to take 4th place.

Chris Blue and Lauren Duski grabbed over 65% of the vote for Favorite Performance. Hunter and Aliyah are behind them, but at a bit of a distance. Neither singer made their best song choices last night. (I’m looking at YOU Gwen).

Favorite Duet
Hell yes to the Chris Blue/Vanessa Ferguson duet. Hands down the winner here. Also, the song landed in the Top 10, which is a bonus for Lauren and could possibly nudge her into the middle three slots for the Insta Save.

- Brennley Brown & Lauren Duski – Good Hearted Woman 14.21%

Who WILL be Eliminated? (CHOOSE 4)
I agree with the bottom 4 here. The question is whether Brennley or Vanessa will sing for the save. Brennley has been a favorite all season. She may have the edge.
- TSoul – Team Blake 22.43%
- Vanessa Ferguson – Team Alicia 20.37%
- Brennley Brown – Team Gwen 19.3%
- Jesse Larson – Team Adam 13.84%
- Aliyah Moulden – Team Blake 11.95%
- Hunter Plake – Team Gwen 8.5%
- Lauren Duski – Team Blake 2.33%
- Chris Blue – Team Alicia 1.27%
Who SHOULD be Eliminated? (CHOOSE 4)
Yup. I would switch Aliyah out of the Final 4 for Vanessa. But I’m not expecting that.
- TSoul – Team Blake 21.53%
- Brennley Brown – Team Gwen 16.05%
- Jesse Larson – Team Adam 15.11%
- Aliyah Moulden – Team Blake 14.31%
- Vanessa Ferguson – Team Alicia 14.04%
- Hunter Plake – Team Gwen 11.15%
- Lauren Duski – Team Blake 5.26%
- Chris Blue – Team Alicia 2.54%
Prediction: Lauren Duski and Chris Blue advance to the Top 3. And then…I’m going to say Aliyah Moulden as well. Hunter Plake, Jesse Larson and…I’m going to say Brennley Brown sing for the 4th spot in the finals. Vanessa Ferguson and TSoul are immediately eliminated.
