Blake Shelton’s Team Is Down to Three on ‘The Voice’ – Recap

The 12 have been chosen on 'The Voice.' Each coach had the agonizing job of cutting one from their team of four and Blake Shelton was up first.  America choose to save, to no one's surprise, 16 year-old Danielle Bradbery and Holly Tucker.  That left Justin Rivers and The Swon Brothers.

Blake took his time choosing which artist to keep, but in the end went with The Swon Brothers to add some diversity to his team.

That sucks so bad.. Only part of this show I really hate...

Team Adam

Adam may have had the hardest time choosing who to keep on his team after America saved Judith Hill and Amber Carrington. The credits rolled before he decided on Sarah Simmons, sending Caroline Glaser home. She's the singer/songwriter he stole from Blake.

Team Usher

America saved Michelle, who is the standout on Usher's team and Vedo, leaving Josiah and Cathia. Usher choose to keep Josiah, sending Cathia home. Ironically, she was the girl he saved in the knockout round that sent Ryan Innes home; the guy I thought would win the whole thing this year.

Team Shakira

Shakira had to decide between Garrett Gardner and fellow latino Karina Iglesias after America voted powerhouse Sasha Allen and Kris Thomas into the Top 12. No surprise, she went with her pet Garrett, who she thought she had a better chance of molding into a professional singer.

Watch a recap of the Top 16 singing for a spot in the Top 12 and Blake & Shakira's duet. The top 12 return to sing for America's vote Monday night at 8 on NBC.
