Last night on Season 27 of The Voice, in a twist, the Top 8 became the Top 12 when coaches Adam Levine,Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Michael Bublé revealed their choices for the Super Save, each returning one of their previously eliminated artists to compete.
Tonight, The Voice kicked off the first results show of Season 27 when the Top 12 learned which five of them would be going through to the finale and which seven of them would be going home.
The way the results worked was as follows: The four artists with the highest votes were automatically put through and then the middle four had to sing in the Instant Save for America’s second vote for the one remaining spot. The bottom four vote getters were automatically eliminated.

Carson revealed the four artists performing for the Instant Save: From Team Bublé was Adam David, from Team Legend was his Super Save Olivia Kuper Harris, from Team Kelsea was Iris Herrera, and from Team Legend was Bryson Battle.
Performing first was Olivia Kuper Harris with “Rainbow” by Kacey Musgraves.
John said, “It was beautiful. It is beautiful every single time. I have loved working with you. Every time you perform you bring such artistry and musicality to everything you do. Your voice is exquisite. Such a magical gift.”
Next, Adam David took the stage with Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control.”
Michael told him, “You feel the spirit. I have more than anything become a fan of you. I talk to you every couple of days. I’m so proud of you. You were a one-chair turn. As a coach, we don’t always get it right. I know America always gets it right.”
Performing third was Iris Herrera with “Rocketman” by Elton John.
Kelsea told her, “Every time you step on the stage you give us something different, you show more of yourself. You are such an artist, such an individual. This is one of the best performances you’ve done on this show.”
The final performance was from Bryson Battle with “Talking to the Moon” by Bruno Mars.
John told him: “I find it difficult to even talk about this because I did not think you would be in this position today. Throughout this competition you have given us performances that said you should be in the finale of this show. You continue to be the epitome of what this show is all about. We celebrate incredible vocalists, and you are that.”
Then Carson revealed the winner of the Instant Save: Adam David.
Tune in next Monday for The Voice Season 27 finale performances at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, and then on Tuesday for the results of America’s vote. Streams next day on Peacock.
