The Voice Top 6 Eliminations: Everybody Hurts

Tonight we will find out who the Season 8 semi-finalists are as we say goodbye to one more artist on The Voice. Blake or Adam could go into next week with no team members remaining, while Xtina and Pharrell are both guaranteed representation in the semis. Will we lose a big voice tonight or a subtle competitor? Let's see how it plays out...

Some former contestants return to The Voice this evening as we welcome back Vicci Martinez, Avery Wilson, Jacquie Lee, and Craig Wayne Boyd's hair. What? You don't recognize all of these names? Can't imagine why... though I will admit that my first iTunes download from The Voice was the Vicci Martinez/Niki Dawson battle of "Perfect" in Season 1. Ah, memories. I wish the coaches had the "steal" back then. It would have been a game changer.

Results! Sawyer makes his way to safety first (duh) and he is quickly followed by Meghan (yay!). After some performances and commercials, Koryn and....Joshua make it through to the semi-finals. This leaves India and Kimberly in the bottom two and both are Xtina's artists. I know this is a tough one for her, but for me it's simple. Save Kimberly. Whatever song she performs...save Kimberly. 

India goes with "Perfect" for her "save" song (please see the above Vicci/Niki link for awesomeness). She does a really great job but I'm wishing Vicci would just rush the stage and start a battle. Wouldn't that be neat? Regardless though...save Kimberly. Kimberly needs to be saved. She chooses "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, going for another rock moment like she had last night...when America didn't vote enough...even though "Dirty Diana" was freaking amazing. I also love Kimberly's performance and attitude tonight, though I wish she'd had the band on stage with her. It's tough to take on a song like that standing alone in the middle of a huge stage. Did I mention #SaveKimberly? Because Kimberly belongs in the finals, never mind the semi-finals. Save. Her. 

In the end, God help me, India is gets the REALLY stupid Twitter save, that should NOT still be in play going into the semi-finals, and Kimberly goes home even though she's probably one of the most talented, badass contestants this show has seen in a long time. There goes Xtina's chance to win this season. Damn it.

Next week the remaining five contestants will fight for a spot in the finale and the chance to take home the title. Does India have a chance considering her recent save status these past two weeks? Is the competition Sawyer's to lose now or can Meghan or Koryn pick up Kimberly's fans and race to the finish line? We have only a short time before the winner is crowned, but I will definitely be less enthusiastic going into next week without that fabulous stank face and attitude to look forward to. Here's hoping the remaining contestants put on a hell of a show in the semis. Til then!
