Dez Duran, a 25-year-old singer from Chicago Heights, IL, and Cody Belew, a 27-year-old singer from Nashville, TN, were ousted from the competition during last night's live one-hour results show after The Voice host Carson Daly revealed they had received the least number of home viewer votes following Monday night's live performance show.
Duran was a member of coach Christina Aguilera's team while Belew was a member of coach Cee Lo Green's team.
"Thank you Christina for believing in me, pushing me and helping me find out the type of artist that I am," Duran said before Daly revealed the results of his elimination.
"I don't want to say [they're my] 'last words,' but I just want to say thank you for riding with me on this journey and for believing in me," Belew said prior to learning he had also been ousted from the competition.
