Whew, Voice voters came through. I must admit, I was worried there for a while. Worried when Rose Short was the final artist announced as competing for the instant save.

Only half the singers who perform tonight on The Voice will make next week’s finals. And only three will advance automatically based on fan voting; the fourth will need Tuesday night’s instant save to do so.
