The Top 9 artists hit the stage for The Voice Semifinals on the Monday, April 13, episode. John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Levine each went into the Semifinals with three artists on their teams, all hoping for a spot in the finale.
After winning the in-season All-Star Competition, Clarkson earned the right to have two of her artists advance to the Finals, while Legend and Levine each had one singer make the Top 4. The finalists were chosen by an audience of superfans and former contestants, who voted on their favorites throughout the night.
