The Voice live results took place Tuesday evening, where the number of vocalists went down from 12 to ten. This is the first round of results that also featured the instant save, which allows viewers at home to tweet in for which artist they want to see advance to the next round.

Opening the show was Gwen Stefani and her team performing “The Tide is Hide” by Blondie.

The first artist to advance to the top ten was from Team Adam, indie rocker Matt McAndrew, and from Team Gwen, Anita Antoinette. The rest of the artists were waiting to see who would advance and who would have to perform during the instant save.

Following a recap of the night’s performance, it was announced that America saved DaNica Shirley from Team Pharrell, who performed her own unique version of “Creep” by Radiohead, and Craig Wayne Boyd, who is from Team Blake.

The results took a break for a moment to feature up and coming U.K. sensation, Ella Henderson, who performed her hit “Ghosts.”

After Henderson’s performance, the name of the next two artists that would advance to the top ten were announced. Moving on to the top ten was Damien from Team Adam and Reagan James from Team Blake.

Following James and Damien advancing, Team Blake took to the stage and performed “Sad Songs (Say So Much)” by Elton John. After that upbeat performance, it was announced that Taylor John Williams from Team Gwen would also be moving on the top ten, which made two of her artists already safe and in the top ten.

The next artist to advance to the top ten based on America's vote was Luke Wade from Team Pharrell.

Then, the bottom three artists each took to the stage to perform a song of their choice. After each performance, America would tweet to see which artist would advance. Jessie Pitts sang “Gravity.” Sugar Jones followed Pitts and sang “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by the late, great, Whitney Houston. The last to perform was Ryan Sill and he sang “More Than Words” by Extreme. After the results had been calculated it was announced that America instantly saved Ryan Sill from Team Gwen, sending home Jessie Pitts and Sugar Jones.

The top ten will perform live next Monday on NBC and the results will be on Tuesday.
