The Voice Season 14 Top 8 Semi Final – Vote in the Polls
The Voice Season 14 Recap: Top 8 Semi Final Live Blog (VIDEO)
Finally, the contestants make major inroads on the iTunes chart this week. Six contestants charted on the iTunes Top 10 meaning they all receive the 5x voting bonus. Dang, Childish Gambino stubbornly kept the top spot, denying Kyla Jade the Top spot. Kaleb Lee picked the right song for sure. Generally, his chart numbers are middling, but the religious hymn he performed resonate with viewers, sending him to the Top 10. Nevertheless, he’s still going to have to sing for the save.

Favorite Top 8 Solo
Kyla Jade and Britton Buchanan were your clear favorites, with Kyla topping the poll by about 5%. A fav may have depended on preferred genre. Being a rock/indie type myself, Britton’s The Rising was my personal fav. However, I do not begrudge Kyla that top spot. She was tremendous last night.

Prediction: Previous to this week, I had Kyla Jade possibly singing for the save. But after two triumphant weeks of performances, I think she’s a lock for the finale. So: Kyla Jade, Britton Buchanan, Brynn Cartelli advance to the Final Four. Rayshun Lamarr and Jackie Foster are eliminated outright. Spensha Baker, Pryor Baird, Kaleb Lee sing for the Instant Save. Pryor wins the save and moves on to the final. Of course, this is the BLOOD BATH which is often full of surprises. Anything can happen tonight, so buckle up.
