On Tuesday night, The Voice Season 21 narrowed the competition down from the Top 20 to the Top 13. Two artists on each team were voted through by viewers, while another one was saved by their coach.
To round out the 13, one artist was also saved from elimination by the Wildcard Instant Save vote. These artists will move on to once again perform live in next week’s show. Let’s refamiliarize ourselves with each artist and their journey.
1. Girl Named Tom (Team Kelly)
This trio of siblings, all in their 20s, began playing music as part of their homeschooling curriculum. The group formed in 2019, two years after their father was diagnosed with a rare cancer. They turned four chairs in their Blind Audition and chose Team Kelly. The trio was saved by viewers’ votes in the Live Playoffs.
2. Jeremy Rosado (Team Kelly)
This 29-year-old, originally from Queens, put music on hold when he decided to take over guardianship of his niece, who is now 18 years old. Jeremy chose to get back to pursuing his dream by joining Team Kelly in the Blind Auditions. He was saved by viewers’ votes.
3. Gymani (Team Kelly)
This 23-year-old from Georgia turned four chairs in her Blind Audition when she sang Ariana Grande’s “pov” in front of Grande herself. However, she chose to join Team Kelly instead. The single mom to two daughters grew up in church with a musical family. She was saved by her coach.
4. Hailey Mia (Team Kelly)
This Jersey girl, who’s been singing since she could talk, is the youngest artist in the competition at just 14. She first joined Team Ariana in the Blind Auditions, but she was stolen by Kelly Clarkson in the Battles. Hailey won the Wildcard Instant Save during the Live Playoffs, making her the final member of the Top 13.
5. Jershika Maple (Team Legend)
This 24-year-old works as a security guard during the day and gigs as a singer at night. She turned both Kelly Clarkson and John Legend’s chairs in her Blind Audition. Jershika first joined Team Kelly before being stolen by Legend in the Battles. She was saved by America’s vote in the Live Playoffs.
6. Joshua Vacanti (Team Legend)
John Legend blocked Ariana Grande to get this 28-year-old on his team after he performed “Into the Unknown” in his Blind Audition. After being teased growing up for his weight and his high-pitched voice, Joshua is now wowing viewers with his talent. He was saved by America’s vote.
