Season 9, Episode 25: LIVE SEMIFINAL ELIMINATIONS

It may be the toughest night of the season. After surviving their auditions, battles, knockouts, playoffs and numerous live votes, the remaining artists have been through a lot. But even their coaches, Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams and Blake Shelton, know that tonight there's nothing that can prepare the artists. Despite the stratospheric talent level this season, tonight five artists will be eliminated.

The format works as follows: the vote overnight determines three of the four finalists. The three artists with the fewest votes are eliminated. Then, the final of the four finalist slots is determined by an instant save showdown. The artists who placed fourth, fifth and sixth in last night's voting must each sing, followed by a short window in which America's final choice will be counted via Twitter.
