As a coach on season 14 of “The Voice,” Adam Levine has struggled to put together a team that could finally win him a fourth title. However, with the decision to let America choose two of the three artists that he would take to the Top 12, his life was made a little easier. After Sharane Calister and Rayshun LaMarr won the two public votes, Levine had to choose between his four remaining artists. In the end, he opted for Jackie Verna over Mia Boostrom, Drew Cole and Reid Umstattd.
Do you think Levine made a mistake? Below, read a brief recap of each of these three artists that didn’t make the grade with him in the Top 24 playoffs and then vote in our poll as to which was the most deserving to move on to the live shows. And be sure to sound off in the comments section with your thoughts on Levine and his team. (Weigh in on the other coach’s choices too: Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys and Blake Shelton.)
