'The Voice' news: Final round up next; season 13 winner to be decided next week

Fans of the singing competition television series "The Voice" had to say good-bye to four contestants after the semi-final round. Competitors Noah Mac, Davon Fleming, Adam Cunningham, and Keisha Renee were eliminated during the results night last Tuesday.

Next week's episodes will be the final rounds, and the competition will crown its new winner. The competition is now down to only four contestants, with Addison Agen from Team Adam, Brooke Simpson from Team Miley, and Chloe Kohanski, and Red Marlow from Team Blake vying for the spot. The semi-final was an unfortunate round for judge Jennifer Hudson because the last two remaining singers on her team were eliminated -- Davon Fleming and Noah Mac. Fleming was saved in last week's round, but was not able to make the cut this week.

Despite losing both of her singers this week, Hudson stole the show on Tuesday night as she performed her latest song "Burden Down" for the crowd and the viewers at home.

Blake Shelton is still on the lead since he still has two cards on his team, with Kohanski and Marlow. Viewers and the judges were impressed with Marlow's performance of "Go Rest High on That Mountain" by Vince Gill. They all agreed that Marlow was able to excel himself in that performance.

Marlow was among the bottom 3 with Cunningham and Mac. It was a close battle between Marlow and Mac, but in the end, the Alabama singer was the one saved.

With the finals closing in, there are speculations on who will win. Shelton once again has the upper hand against the other judges. According to a poll conducted by Gold Derby, Kohanski remains a fan-favorite.

The final four performances will be on Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. on NBC. On the next day, the competition will announce the winner of "The Voice" competition season 13.
