Following the  Top 10 results , paring the field down to eight last week, The Voice survivors steeled themselves for the epic battle ahead. The margin for error? Getting slimmer by the minute … because FOUR SINGERS WILL BE OUT of the competition by this time tomorrow. Who will earn one of the coveted four spots in the epic season finale? We have our favorites, but America as a whole will make that call. Without further delay, let’s break down the top eight and see who punched their ticket to next week, and who might be sweating this out … Christian Cuevas Christian opted to perform to “To Worship I Live (Away)” by Israel & New Breed. Being this late in the game and fighting for your life in the game, you would think Christian would have tried to make the performance memorable. The vocals were on point, but it would not have hurt to change things up. Singing in the same style is not going to win him any more voters. Viewers want a versatile singer, who can change things up at the drop of a hat. Ali Caldwell Ali went with “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. Ali genuinely delivered one of the better performances of the night. It was definitely her best performance throughout her stint on the show and hopefully she has made the cut to make it to Final 4.  Brendan Fletcher Brendan went with “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. You guys, Brendan has a strong voice, but like Christian Cuevas, he’s not changing things up enough to show off what else he has to offer. It’s sad, but this was his opportunity and he may well have blew it.  Wé McDonald Wé needed a good performance after last week’s mediocre affair, but singing “Scars to your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara was not the way to go. She practically stumbled through the performance and it will probably result in her losing her ticket to the final. Aaron Gibson Aaron went with “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams. Let’s just say, he did not start performing until half way through. Seriously, it was like he was doing karaoke for the first half and becoming a star for the second.  Josh Gallagher Josh went with “Danny’s Song” by Loggins & Messina. It was a solid performance, but not perfect. However, on a night with many dud performances, he should make it through.  Sundance Head Sundance opted for “Love Can Build a Bridge” by The Judds. It was another solid performance that proved why he’s still in the competition. Final 4 is a no brainer for this one.  Billy Gilman Billy completely murdered “I Surrender” by Celine Dion. Seriously, you guys, he ruined it and it will be shocking if he makes it through to the next stage.  Wé Mcdonald & Aaron Gibson This duo opted to perform “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna & Paul McCartney. This was an odd song for a duet and it showed of Wé’s vocals way more than Aaron’s. Not fair.  Sundance Head & Josh Gallagher This duo went with “Feelin’ Alright” by Joe Cocker. It was another one-sided duet that made it clear these are only a thing to fill the runtime of the show.  Christian Cuevas & Billy Gilman “Unsteady” by X Ambassadors was a terrible, terrible song choice. If anything, it made me think worse of both artists.  Brendan Fletcher & Ali Caldwell “It’s Only Love” by Bryan Adams and Tina Turner turned out to be a surprisingly effortless affair. However, one out of four duets being decent is just terrible. That’s a wrap, you guys! Who do you think will be eliminated? Sound off below!
