The Voice host Carson Daly revealed the results of the home viewer votes cast following Monday and Tuesday's live performance shows, which had featured the season's Top 20 artists taking the stage.
America's vote advanced two artists from each five-person team to the Top 12 -- leaving Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green to each determine which of his or her three remaining artists he or she would like to save and advance to the next live show.
For "Team Blake," home viewers saved Austin Jenckes from Duvall, WA, and Cole Vosbury from Shreveport, LA. Shelton then chose to save Ray Boudreaux from Lafayette, LA.
Shelton's choice eliminated Nic Hawk from Davenport, IA, and Shelbie Z. from Jasper, AL, from the competition.
