What Happened on 'The Voice' Last Night?
Monday's episode marked a pivotal shake-up: The show's "Super Save" brought back four previously eliminated artists to perform in the semifinals.
Tuesday night began with a performance from judge John Legend and followed with a retrospective look at the semifinal performances.
"It's going to be a tough night tonight watching us go from 12 to five," host Carson Daly said during the broadcast before announcing the safe four contestants.
After a performance from country star Kelsea Ballerini, Daly named the four contestants that would battle it out for the final spot in the top five.
With the final now just a week away, the top five set the stage for a wide-open championship.
Which Contestants Cracked the Top 5?
The first finalist revealed was Renzo, 34, from Philadelphia, representing Team Legend. Previously seen on American Idol as Dennis Lorenzo, Renzo closed Episode 19 with a high-octane version of Aerosmith's "Dream On."
Next through was Lucia Flores-Wiseman, of Washington, from Team Adam. The third finalist was Team Bublé's Jadyn Cree, who impressed some viewers with a performance of "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tommy James & The Shondells.
Jaelen Johnston, the 22-year-old member of Team Kelsea, was the fourth name announced. Johnston's country twang made him a fan favorite throughout the season.
The final spot came down to an Instant Save, with four singers—Adam David (Team Bublé), Olivia Kuper-Harris (Team Legend), Iris Herrera (Team Kelsea) and Bryson Battle (Team Legend)—competing live. Ultimately, David clinched the fifth finalist position.
Who Was Eliminated From 'The Voice' on Tuesday?
Kaiya Hamilton, Alanna Lynise, Kolby Cordell and Conor James did not advance to the finale, or perform for the final spot.
Despite their performances in Episode 20, Kuper-Harris, Herrera and Battle did not advance.
When Is 'The Voice' Finale?
The Season 27 finale of The Voice will air live May 19 on NBC, with the top five artists performing one final time. Episodes are available for streaming on Peacock the next day.
Voting will begin and the winner of The Voice will be crowned in a live results show on May 20. Fans can vote via The Voice app or NBC.com during the finale.
