Emily from Cleveland, OH, landed in the bottom two with Owen Danoff from Washington, D.C., based on home viewer votes cast following Monday night's Top 12 performance show. After both artists sang a survival song last night, America tweeted via the show's "Instant Save" format to keep Owen in the competition.
Emily was on Pharrell Williams' team, while Owen is on Adam Levine's team.
Emily performed "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain" by Willie Nelson for her survival song. Christina Aguilera absolutely gushed about how she's multi-talented and has a raw, natural gift. Christina was shocked to see Emily in the bottom two considering she had blown her away with her rendition of "Lilac Wine" on Monday night.
Pharrell then told America they needed to vote for this 17-year-old singer and songwriter because she knows exactly what kind of music she wants to make and she needs a thrust forward in this industry. Pharrell reminded fans Emily is very special.

Owen chose to sing "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran. Adam asked for everyone's mercy and to do him a favor by "instantly saving" Owen.
Adam explained he took a leap of faith on Owen and they had a unique relationship on the show since he already had to save him once. Adam asked home viewers to give Owen the chance he deserves, and then the coach promised that if Owen advanced, he wouldn't be going anywhere for a long time.
America had a short window to vote for Emily or Owen on Twitter. At the end of the final commercial break, Owen was leading 53% to Emily's 47%.
Before The Voice host Carson Daly announced Emily's elimination, Adam and Pharrell noted she and Owen are stars and both happened to be four-chair turns in the Blind Auditions.
During Tuesday night's broadcast, Carson also revealed two artists from the Top 12 made the Top 10 iTunes Singles Chart. They are Adam Wakefield with "Soulshine" and Alisan Porter with "Stone Cold."
