NBC's The Voice announced the top 10 contestants for season 22 in its 19th episode, which aired on Tuesday, November 22. Coach Camila Cabello had three singers left on her team, but after the dedication-themed episode, the public did not vote for two of them, landing them in the instant save elimination round.
While Morgan Myles received the fifth-highest number of votes, Eric Who and Devix could not move forward in the competition. Eric and Devix sang The Climb and When You Were Young, respectively, to urge the public to vote for them, but unfortunately, the audience saved team Gwen's Kique instead.
This season of The Voice, like season 21, will not guarantee that every coach has at least one singer left in the finale. This means that Camila's only hope of winning the show is through Morgan slaying all of her performances in the upcoming weeks of the season. To encourage Camila, fans cheered for the first time singer-turned-coach and said that Morgan was a very good singer who could win.
The Voice fans think Morgan could win the show
After their final performances, Camila praised Eric Who for singing with his heart, and said that the public would miss him. John Legend also praised the contestant for singing with "joy and gratitude."
Following Devix's performance, Camila said that he was very talented and the public could "redeem" themselves by voting for him.
Unfortunately, neither Eric nor Devix were saved by voters, leaving Morgan as the only contestant from Camila's team to progress in the competition.
The Voice fans were impressed with Morgan's voice and felt that she had potential to win the season.
While they were upset that Devix did not get enough public votes, they also reassured Camila that she still had an amazing singer left in her team.
