Tonight's double elimination brought the competition down to eight artists as one coach lost two team members in one night. I can't say that I'm super upset with the results, but I do think there are some folks still squeaking by who should have gone home before one of tonight's casualties. Who were the unfortunate contestants to be sent packing? Here's what went down.
Miley Cyrus seriously has the coolest godmother ever. The wonderful, amazing, hilarious Dolly Parton joined us this evening and she first took the stage with Jennifer Nettles and the Top 10 to sing "Circle of Love." Jennifer and Dolly are here promoting their movie Christmas of Many Colors and I for real can't wait to watch it. Last year's Coat of Many Colors tugged at my heartstrings for sure and I loved it. Dolly returned later with Miley and Pentatonix and they performed an awesome rendition of "Jolene." GREAT song. Great collaboration.
Results! The first person to make it through to the semi-finals was Brendan and he was joined by Sundance, Christian and Ali soon thereafter. Billy was sent to safety next along with Wé and Josh. This placed Aaron, Austin and Courtney in the bottom 3 singing for the Stupid Twitter Save. Austin went with "Tennessee Whiskey" as his "save me" song and he was awesome. Courtney chose "Bless the Broken Road" and while her voice was still a little up and down, her emotions were all in and I wanted to give her a hug when the song was over. Aaron closed out the performances with "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and it seemed like he had a hard time with his breathing during the song. The performance itself was also kinda boring. Let's just save Austin, mmmkay?
In the end, Aaron was saved AGAIN and the mind reels. So Blake lost two of his contestants tonight and Sundance is his last man standing. Team Adam remains in tact with all three artists and Miley and Alicia were able to hold on to the two they had left going into tonight. Will next week's intense semi-finals elimination wipe out any team altogether? More than one team? Can Aaron really get a spot in the finale? And can I please get the phone number for for the guy who designs Dolly's costumes? I bet he has some stories to tell. That aside though, it will be interesting to see which of these eight contestants will prevail next week. With Christian and Brendan emerging as contenders last night, the presumed front runners (Ali, Billy, Sundance and Wé) should be put on notice. We'll see what happens when the semi-finals slaughter arrives on Monday. Til then!
