Week 6: Semifinals (May 16 and May 17)

This week, the three artists with the most votes made it straight to the finals, the two artists with the least votes were instantly eliminated and the middle three fought for the remaining spot in the finals via Instant Save. iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Adam Wakefield (#2), Alisan Porter (#3), Hannah Huston (#5), Mary Sarah (#6), Bryan Bautista (#7) and Laith Al-Saadi (#10). In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes. All four coaches had an artist advance to the finals for the first time ever since season 2 and season 1, which was team-based rather than individual, thus making season 10 the first in The Voice history to achieve this feat organically.

Controversy and criticism

The show faced controversy when Katherine Ho, a contestant on Team Adam, was the second contestant in the history of the show to make it to the third round of the competition and have all of her performances, including her Blind Audition, Battle, and Knockout round, montaged (not shown in full).

According to Matt Carter, "It"?s not often that we write an article on 'The Voice' that is about a contestant being triple-montaged, mostly because it is such a rare phenomenon, but here we are with it happening to Katherine Ho. When it a triple-montage does happen, it just makes it all the more frustrating since it eliminates the purpose of the show. We know that there is no guarantee that you are going to get airtime when you audition for the show, but we do think for the most part you should get a little more attention than Katherine Ho got over the course of the competition. Her Battle Round performance of Caroline Burns was not really shown, and this puts her in a similar camp with Rebekah Samarin back in season 7 of the show. They made it far enough on the show that they cannot audition again, and yet they don"?t really get a lot of publicity - it"?s pretty unfair.

Here"?s the most egregious thing about this performance tonight: We don"?t even know what Katherine sang! She just didn"?t get any attention at all."
