What’s going to happen tonight on The Voice?
Well, I can certainly predict — and pretty much guarantee — the fate of four contestants.
1. Maelyn Jarmon: She will breeze into the finals and might be the most-streamed artist again, which would give her a big edge heading into next week’s finals.
2. Gyth Rigdon: I didn’t like last night’s pandering song choice and I didn’t think he did the song very well, but it predictably worked with fans and he’s finals bound.
3. Kim Cherry: She needed a save to make the Top 8 and she finished seventh on iTunes. She’ll be one of the bottom two tonight.
4. Carter Lloyd Horne: His solo from last night was the only one not to crack the iTunes Top 200, and everyone else finished in the Top 100. He’ll head home with Kim.
But that still leaves a very interesting situation in the middle.
Remember how tonight works. Three singers advance on fan voting. The next three sing for an instant save.
And the contestants I haven’t mentioned so far are Dexter Roberts, Shawn Sounds, Andrew Sevener and Rod Stokes.
Dexter finished just ahead of Shawn on iTunes today. Suppose he’s the third artist voted into the finals.
That would leave a middle three of Shawn, Andrew and Rod.
All it would raise the possibility of what I’m pretty sure producers don’t want — three members of Team Blake in next week’s Season 16 finals.
The results come in tonight at 9 p.m. I’ll be live blogging throughout.

I think it is fair to say Dexter Roberts should be in the top 3 for tonight.
