The Voice’s Season 20 Live Playoffs teed up a night of
straaange song selections, it looked like the eight singers who’d be headed home would be: Team Nick’s Four-Way Knockout winner Devan Blake Jones, Team Nick’s Andrew Marshall, Team Nick’s Jose Figeuroa Jr.…
Uh… yeah, it was not a great night for Team Nick.
Or Team Legend, for that matter. As I was typing, the likeliest eliminees included Team Legend’s Zania Alaké, Ryleigh Modig and Victor Solomon (even though he gave arguably his most spirited performance to date), Team Blake’s Pete Mroz and onetime frontrunner Zae Romeo from Team Kelly.
The competition is heating up.
Following the Top 8âs selection, the remaining nine singers were pared down even further as Americaâs vote determined what four performers would continue onto the Wildcards before the episodeâs end. Among the four artists with the most votes and the first to be safe were Team Blakeâs Cam Anthony, Team Nickâs Rachel Mac, Team Legendâs Victor Solomon, and Team Kellyâs Kenzie Wheeler.
As for the hopefuls chosen by the coaches to move forward, Team Blakeâs Jordan Matthew Young, Team Nickâs Dana Monique, Team Legendâs Pia Renee, and Team Kellyâs Gihanna Zoë were given a second shot, rounding out the eight safe performers.
