The Voice cut one singer from the competition last night following the latest in a long line of rules tweaks that switched up the format once more:

The Hollywood Gossip Logo

Only one contestant, instead of the usual two, will go home each week … until December 9, when FIVE will go home, leaving us with the final four.

Who knows where they come up with these ideas or why, but in Season 1 coaches assigned contestants random percentages, so … there’s that.

Anyway, last night, the “Instant Save” was back in force.

Rather than the usual three, it involved only only two singers, and it boiled down to Team Pharrell’s Mark Hood and Team Gwen’s Korin Bukowski.

(Braiden Sunshine, Korin’s teammate, rounded out the Bottom Three among The Voice Top 12, but he avoided singing for his life Tuesday evening.)

Hood, in his last chance to win a Twitter reprieve, belted out “Signed, Sealed, Delivered," while Korin chose Norah Jones’s “Don’t Know Why.”

You could say it was a bit low-energy all around.

Neither was a great selection and neither gave a game-changing effort to really move the needle, but one of the two had to move on and Korin did.

Mark Hood is out, ladies and gentlemen.

As for the favorites, Jordan Smith, Barrett Baber, Madi Davis, Amy Vachal, and Jeffery Austin are still in the game along with their counterparts.

Who do you think will make it to the final four on The Voice? Do you like this latest rule change? Did the right singer go home Tuesday night?
