But here’s the catch.
The country star didn’t use the twist as typically seen.
But the result was not what you’d think.
We’d watched their previous performances.
We watched all of Tinika’s performances.

And we’re most certainly not over Jessica’s elimination.
Dan chose “Impossible” byShontelle, while Tinika picked “Best of My Love” byThe Emotions.

Losing Dan weakens her team.
Beyond that, it proves that loyalty means very little onThe Voice.

Kelsea chose girl power over queer power.
Kelsea may have slightly regretted her decision when she handed Dan her personal number to utilize after the show.
The Voiceairs Mondays at 8:00 pm on NBC.
