The Voice featured the nineteenth season's Top 9 artists being narrowed down to only five finalists in a series of major cuts during Tuesday night's live results show.
The Voice host Carson Daly explained at the beginning of the broadcast that the top votegetter from each coach's team would automatically advance to the finale and then the remaining contestants must perform for the last "Instant Save" of the season.
The "Instant Save" winner, determined by America's votes in a five-minute window at the end of the one-hour live broadcast, would then round out the Top 5.
The four finale contenders who automatically advanced were Desz, a 30-year-old choir singer from Houston, TX who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA; John Holiday, a 35-year-old voice teacher from Rosenberg, TX who currently resides in Appleton, WI; Jim Ranger, a 38-year-old campus pastor and worship leader from Newport, AR who currently resides in Bakersfield, CA; and Carter Rubin, a 14-year-old student and singer from Shoreham, NY.
