The Voice has a way of making you wait for the good part. For Kyle Davis, the wait was a whole round of Cut Week, and it paid off.
The vote that decided it
Davis is the oldest contestant of the season, and during Cut Week he was the only artist who had to compete in that prior episode for the sole remaining spot. America voted on the Cut Week performances, and Davis came out of it with that one spot. He sang Blind Faith's"Can't Find My Way Home"for it.
So he didn't just survive the cut. He walked away with the only ticket left on the table, decided by the audience.
How the teams stack up now
The coaches' rosters shifted with that result. Kelly Clarkson now has four competitors at this stage, while Adam Levine, Queen Latifah and Riley Green each have three. Davis is on Team Kelly, and his first live performance of the season comes Nov. 16 with Team Kelly and Team Riley.
The Voice airs Mondays on NBC.
Why this one is worth a watch
There's something about a contestant who has to sing for the last open slot and then actually gets it. Davis went from the only artist competing in that prior episode to a place in the live shows chosen by the audience vote, and now everything moves to the live stage. If you've been following the season, that's a story line with a little momentum behind it.
What it could mean for you
If you're watching here in Lawton, you've seen plenty of singers take that stage and plenty of votes go the other way. Does a result like this one change who you're pulling for the rest of the season?
Who are you rooting for now that the live shows are here?
