The first artist saved came from Team Blake: Emily Ann Roberts. Personalized arrangements of pop songs helped Amy Vachal move on into the top nine as well, which was once again no real surprise. Over the phone, Judd counseled the promising young singer to stay true to herself, advice she had gotten from Tammy Wynette. “You’re so good, and everybody loves you”, she said.

The performance definitely wasn’t representative of her talents as an artist. And once again, she was up against a member of Team Pharrell. Unfortunately, for Gwen, that meant two singers, Braiden Sunshine and Korin Bukowski, would have to sing for the Instant Save, and she’d automatically lose one.
Indeed, Korin was in the bottom two for the second week in a row.
It was a record-breaking week on The Voice-seven of the top ten songs on the iTunes singles chart were from the finalists’ Monday night performances.
Save number five was also an easy pick: Team Pharrell’s lone player Madi Davis. Only Levine seemed in the mood to enthuse – of course he did – saying he “literally” got “chills” whenever he heard Smith sing and crediting him with lifting people with his voice. She has yet to advance safely based on the viewer vote, and it seems unlikely that she’ll do so, given the relatively low ranking of her November 30 performance.
Korin chose to go for “Try” by Colbie Caillat, and maybe she’s just sick of singing for the save or maybe the nerves got the best of her, but she seemingly handed this Twitter save over to Braiden, stumbling throughout the entire song and forgetting a solid portion of the lyrics.
The next closest artist to the Top 10 was Team Blake’s Zach Seabaugh, who peaked at No. 20 with Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Tell us in our poll below.
The artist that got eliminated tonight on The Voice USA 2015 is Korin Bukowski!!! You could see it written all over her face. Coach Adam Levine is scheduled to perform with R. City. We’re now down to the top 10 contestants, who do you think has what it takes to become The Voice?

Barrett Baber (Team Blake): With his intimate, passionate rendition of Conway Twitty’s “I’d Love to Lay You Down”, an anthem about deep, long-lasting love he dedicated to his wife, Baber provided a welcome counterpoint to Stefani’s performance of “Used to Love You”, a song about her recent divorce.
