On Tuesday’s edition of “The Voice,” the middle three vote getters among the Top 8 artists were Andrew Sevener from Team Blake Shelton, Shawn Sounds from Team John Legend and Kelly Clarkson‘s last act, Rod Stokes. Each had to sing one more song to try and send enough viewers to Twitter to earn the Instant Save.
While Andrew won with the social media crowd, other fans of the show were less enthusiastic and said he didn’t deserve to move forward in the competition. By a margin of 54% to 46%, “The Voice” viewers preferred the performance by one of the other two contenders for the last slot in the Top 4.
Shawn garnered 39% support while Rod racked up 15% of the total tally as of this writing. Perhaps the fact that Andrew sang first helped him in the public vote.

On the May 14 live results show of “The Voice,” the middle three vote getters among the Top 8 artists were, as we predicted: Andrew Sevener from Team Blake Shelton, Shawn Sounds from Team John Legend and Kelly Clarkson‘s lone artist, Rod Stokes. That meant these three fellows had to compete in the Instant Save.
Each had to sing one more song to try and win votes cast by viewers via Twitter to earn the last slot in the Top 4 alongside Maelyn Jarmon, Gyth Rigdon and Dexter Roberts.
Sevener was up first and delivered a haunting rendition of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic “Simple Man,” which launched the band back in 1973. Up next was Stokes, who made “Brother,” a 2015 chart-topper for Christian rock band Needtobreathe, his own. Sounds closed out the sing-off with a rollicking version of the Bruno Mars #1 hit, “That’s What I Like.”

After the Top 8 artists performed on Monday’s episode of “The Voice,” they now await their fate on Tuesday’s results show. Four will move on to next week’s finale for Season 16. Four talented singers will unfortunately be eliminated.
For this Top 8, Blake Shelton has an astonishing five of them. It’s possible only one team member goes home and the other four make up the Top 4 finale. More likely, however, is that Kelly Clarkson and/or John Legend will have someone also in the finale. Coach Adam Levine is done for this season.
For tonight’s one-hour episode hosted by Carson Daly, here’s how the competition will work:
Three contenders will automatically advance forward through public voting. Two will immediately be eliminated on this show. Three will perform for an Instant Save on social media, with just one joining the Top 4 finale next week.
