The Voice Semi-Finals Results: I Don't Know How It Happened

Tonight we find out which four artists will make it through to the finale and which poor soul juuuust missed the boat. At this point Pharrell is the only coach who is guaranteed representation in the finals, as he had two semi-finalists this week and the other coaches are each hanging on by a thread with one contestant left. Will he lose one of his hopefuls tonight? If not, which coach will be bitterly cheering on another team next week? Let's find out...

Business in the front, party in the back.

Snoop Dogg is in the house tonight and I'm thrilled that the whole Snoop Lion thing was short lived. He and Pharrell perform "California Roll" which, by the way, is not about sushi. The "Shut Up and Dance" guys also join us this evening for some live entertainment. They were nice enough to time travel from the 80s to perform their song, which I will admit is on my iPod and getting a lot of play time. 

The contestants also take the stage during the elimination hour and Koryn, Meghan and India pull off a beautiful rendition of "Faithfully." Joshua and Sawyer then sit right in their element with "Drift Away." I guess it was smart of the producers not to pair Joshua with those other voices he's not really competing with. 

Results! The first name announced in the final four is Sawyer, which is no surprise given how he's been practically shutting down iTunes. He is followed by Meghan (yay!) but then Carson tells India that she's in the bottom 2. This leaves Joshua and Koryn wondering their fate...and Joshua is sent to safety. Wait, what? I'm soooo unhappy about this. And the Stupid Twitter Save is still a thing at this point? Twitter can put someone through to the FINALE that might have had the lowest number of votes? Well, I guess I'm pulling for India then, mainly because I'd like Xtina to be represented in the finale. This was really her season to lose before Kimberly was eliminated. 

India sings Kelly Clarkson's "Dark Side" but the song is so short, she's pretty much singing the first verse and doing a bunch of rifs. Kind of odd. She's visibly feeling the pressure. Koryn goes with "If I Were a Boy" and struggles a bit in the beginning of the song. Then of course she starts violently shaking and delivers killer vocals for the rest of the performance. And with that, India does not get the Stupid Twitter Save and Team Xtina is no more. 

I'm bummed about the results because I think both ladies deserved to make it through. This was like the Kimberly/India face off all over again. Sigh. Next week is the first of what I assume are several 2015 finales for The Voice and the remaining four contestants will fight for the title. We've got two mellow dudes and two powerhouses remaining. Can Meghan (who I will be voting like crazy for) pull off a victory? Is Sawyer's coronation a foregone conclusion? We have only two more episodes to find out. Til then!
