The Voice 27 Semi-Final Predictions and Poll Results
Four artists will advance to next week’s finale per viewer vote. The four remaining artists with the highest votes will sing for the Instant Save and the final spot. The remaining four contestants will be eliminated immediately without singing.
John Legend performs his hit So High
Coach John Legend takes the stage to perform his hit “So High.” It’s the 20th anniversary of his album Get Lifted.
Top 4 Heading to the Finale REVEALED
The Top 12 take center stage. HERE WE GO DUMB QUESTIONS COMING. At least Ryan Seacrest on American Idol gets right to it and doesn’t torture contestants during eliminations.
Jaelen thanks his fans. He hopes they felt something after his performance last night. Kolby remarks how his family sacrificed everything for him. They’ve been through a lot. In no particular order, the first Top 5 finalist is from Team Legend, RENZO! A no brainer. The second finalist is…from Team Adam…Lucia Flores-Wiseman. Another easy prediction.
The remaining 10 artists are still on stage. The third Top 5 finalist from Team Buble...Jadyn Cree. The fourth finalist is Jaelen Johnston from Team Kelsea! I knew there wouldn’t be a final without a country singer!
Kelsea Ballerini performs “Baggage” with her pals
Here’s what it’s all about for artists signing up to coach or mentor on singing shows–promoting new projects.
Instant Save Contenders Revealed
The 8 remaining artists join Carson on stage. John has taught Olivia about self-trust. It meant a lot to Olivia that John trusted her instincts. Advice Alynna would give to her children: Trust yourself, trust the process and enjoy the side process.
Carson reveals the next 4 highest vote getters and consequently performing tonight for the Instant Save are: Adam David from Team Buble, Olivia Kuper Harris from Team Legend. Iris Herrera from Team Kelsea and Bryson Battle from Team Legend
Conor James and Kolby Kordell from Team Adam, Alanna Lynisse from Team Kelsea and Kaiya Hamilton from Team Buble received the lowest number of votes and are immediately eliminated.
The four eliminated singers who did not sing for the Instant Save–two artists were Super Saved by their coaches. One Super Save sang for the Instant Save. One Super Save advanced straight to the Top 5.
Instant Save Performances
Olivia Kuper Harris – Team Legend – Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves
Olivia sings first, which is usually not a good spot for the Instant Save. Her delivery is very breathy. Too breathy. In any case, this performance is not going to do it for her. John calls her performances beautiful every single time. “You bring such artistry” he says. He’d love to sing a duet with her.
Adam David – Team Buble – Lose Control by Teddy Swims
This song is performed SO MUCH on singing shows, and it hasn’t even been around that long. Adam possesses a raspy, bluesy voice, bolstered by a compelling performance style. Although this song is not a stretch for him, he knows how to effectively adlib his way through a song. Michael, emotional, calls him the forever underdog and promises to be in his corner forever. He reminds fans that Adam was a one chair turn.
Iris Herrera – Team Kelsea – Rocket Man by Elton John
Iris was a Stevie Nicks imitator a few seasons ago who got NO turns. Now she’s competing for a spot in The Voice final. However, love the song choice, but she’s flat in spots and adding too many adlibs. These last chance performances have got to be nerve wracking. Kelsea calls her an individual and an artist and the performance one of her favorites.
Bryson Battle – Team Legend – Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars
Bryson sometimes oversings. He starts off the song reasonably. But as the performance progresses it gets more and more yelly. John took for granted Bryson would make the finale. He obviously believes Bryson is the artist who should advance. AND HE EVEN TELLS AMERICA TO SEND HIM TO THE FINALE. Sad for Olivia.
Instant Save Results
Now the four Instant Save singers thank their coaches. And then the coaches gush all over their singers. This goes on forever. Finally, Carson announces that the artist America INSTANTLY SAVED is…Adam David! WOW. I was NOT expecting that. Overall, he delivered the best performance.
