Blake was right, last night was one of the best for live performance - ever.  All 10 artists charted on the Billboard Top 200. No matter how great they did, it was time to narrow it down to the Top 8. Saved by America in order by number of votes: 

 

Craig Wayne Boyd

Matt McAndrew 

Luke Wade 

Taylor John Williams

Danica Shirey 

Chris Jamison 

Damien 

 

This left Anita, Ryan, and Raegan in the bottom three. To fight for the #instantsave they each had to remind America why they were worth saving. Raegan sang Nelly Furtado's "Like a Bird." Coach Blake reminded America that she just turned 16 a few weeks ago and she's been brave enough to take songs and put her own spin on it. Anita sang the Jason Mraz hit "The Remedy (I won't worry) and she made sure America remembered what she can do. She hit a jaw dropping high and long note right in the middle of the song. Gwen said "we've got to save this girl, she's amazing!" Ryan Sil, who is on his second week on the bottom three sang "Collide" by Howie Day. Gwen was convinced that Ryan should be saved again, but I felt someone else should get the chance to be saved. Unfortunately, America didn't agree. Ryan was saved yet again. Reagan was one of my favorites, but when she did that song last night, I knew there was a chance she would get eliminated. Here's your Top 8 Lineup:

 

 

Team Blake

Craig Wayne Boyd

 

Team Adam

Matt McAndrew

Chris Jamison 

Damien

 

Team Pharrell

Luke Wade 

Danica Shirey 

 

Team Gwen

Stay tuned next week as the Top 8 perform, without Reagan.
