The Voice has a Top 9 for Season 19 as the Top 17 results provide a path to potential victory for the remaining hopefuls. (Follow all that?)
The evening begins with host Carson Daly revealing the results of America’s vote and informing coaches Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and John Legend of the first team members who are safe. Once the vote is confirmed, it’s up to the coaches to decide who else moves on from their team.
Team Kelly kicks things off with Desz earning America’s vote, while Cami Clune gets her spot thanks to coach Kelly, who chose to keep the young pop songstress. Team Gwen is next and young performer Cater Rubin is an unsurprising shoo-in, while Gwen goes the country route with her personal pick of Ben Allen.
Team Blake’s member moving on include Ian Flanigan, who took America’s vote, as well as Jim Ranger, who the coach chooses to keep. As for Team Legend, John Holiday is the winner of America’s vote for his high-pitched vocals and John sticks with the powerful singers by choosing Tamara Jade as the eight hopeful in Season 19’s Top 9.
