Jens Kalaene/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images 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 during the finale.

Watch moment Rylan Clark is left in hysterics as Scott Mills makes VERY awkward gaffe during live Eurovision semi-final
RYLAN Clark was left in hysterics as Scott Mills made a VERY awkward gaffe during the first live Eurovision semi-final. Presenter Scott, 52, who was co-hosting the BBC 's coverage alongside Rylan, 36, stumbled over his words while introducing Croatia 's act - accidentally making a bold - and entirely untrue - claim. Speaking live from Switzerland 's St. Jakobshalle on Tuesday night, the Radio 2 DJ enthusiastically narrated to viewers: 'He's the first gay person in Croatia!' When a puzzled Rylan responded with, "What?" he quickly corrected himself. "Sorry, no no, no, hang on, wait, sorry, that's wrong," he assured, before confirming: "He's the first openly gay person in Croatia to be at the Eurovision Song Contest." The pair - who are providing coverage with Richie Anderson and Sara Cox - sent social media into overdrive with the blunder. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: 'NOT SCOTT READING MARKO WAS THE FIRST GAY PERSON IN CROATIA I AM IN TEARS." Another shared: 'Hahaha @scott_mills 'This is the first gay person in #Croatia '." One more chimed in with: "'He's the first gay person in croatia' uhm scott idk if you know this but gay people tend to love visiting the adriatic." The singer in question, Croatian artist Marko Bošnjak, 21, rose to fame as a finalist on The Voice Kids Adria in 2015. Known for his powerful vocals and emotive performances, he has since built a loyal fanbase across the Balkans. Marko, who is openly gay, has been praised for using his platform to champion LGBTQ+ visibility in the region. Eurovision tech issues during Switzerland's performance His Eurovision debut with the song, Posion Cake, marks a significant cultural milestone for Croatia. Scott's slip-up wasn't the only hiccup during the broadcast, though. At another point in the show, viewers were left puzzled when a camera appeared to crash mid-performance during Switzerland's slot. As per tradition, last year's winning country and the big five (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Spain,) automatically qualify for Saturday's grand final. However, the finalists get to perform their song during the semi-finals, with Spain, Italy and Switzerland taking to the stage in the first instalment. Swiss artist Zoë Më performed Voyage featuring an arty one camera shot throughout the duration of her song. 5 5 The 24-year-old was seated as she sang her hauntingly beautiful song using armography to express emotion. However as she reached the bridge, the camera spanned round the singer's side and appeared to drop away. The camera returned to Zoë's face as she took to her feet for the dramatic section. She whipped from side-to-side as she sang Faire un, faire un voyage Faire un, faire un voyage Faire un, faire un voyage Avec moi This translates to Go on, go on a journey Go on, go on a journey Go on, go on a journey With me After a number of freeze frames flashed on the screen, the camera then returned to a view from the front before spinning round to show Zoë from behind, singing to the audience with their phones lit up. However, the camerawork left viewers confused. It looked as if the manoeuvre was not planned as audience directions appeared on the archway of the stage. The lit up sign read: "Please turn on your phone light now." After the song ended Rylan addressed the issue in his commentary. Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. "We should say there as well, I think there was a couple of little tech problems with that one single shot camera." Despite Rylan trying to play it down, Eurovision viewers took to X demanding "justice" for the act.

One wrote: "Oh no Switzerland staging is really cool but they had some problems with the cameras," along with a crying emoji. A second suggested: "JUSTICE FOR ZOE ME AND KALEEN ROBBED DIVAS WITH THE CAMERAS." "The cameras breaking???", enquired a third user. While someone else excitedly posted. "THE CAMERAS CRASHED." Another joked: "Not the Swiss delegation's Head of Finance unplugging all the cameras at the end of Zoe's performance." And a sixth fan added: "Oh no. It went a bit wrong with the cameras there." However, the issue will not affect Zoe's chances as she is already through to the final on Saturday.
