The stakes are higher than ever before on The Voice.
At the end of the Monday, May 5 episode of The Voice, host Carson Daly delivered jaw-dropping news to this year’s coaches: Kelsea Ballerini, Adam Levine, Michael Bublé and John Legend.
“Coaches, lend me your ears. I come with great news,” Daly, 51, said as the coaches waited with bated breath.
“We’ve always intended to keep the best artists on this show for the longest amount of time,” the host said, before revealing the big news: “We’re going to allow each of you to bring back one more artist for the Top 8 live shows.”
He added, “The super-save is on.”

All in complete shock, Legend, 46, shared, “Have you realize the stress you unnecessarily put on us? They didn’t tell me I was going to be able to pick three all along.”
“How did you keep this secret?” said Bublé, 49, before Ballerini, 31, added: “I’m overstimulated.”
Then, Daly instructed the coaches to deliver the good news to their contestants.
“We love a good plot twist,” said the “Blindsided” singer.
