All four "The Voice" coaches have at least one singer representing their teams in the Top Five.

It was a tough call for Christina to choose hers as her final two vocalists, Kimberly Nichole and India Carney, were sent by America in the bottom two last week. The singers' showdown for the coveted slot in the Top Five was too close to call. Carney emerged as the better singer on stage and was, in the end, the last vocalist standing on her team for her stellar version of Pink's "Perfect." 

Nichole, who was believed to be the forerunner for Team Christina (and to some, the whole show), belted out an amazing rendition of "Seven Nation Army" originally performed by The White Stripes. Admittedly though, it was not her best and the talented songster was sent home. 

Now, the teams head to another exciting live performance in a heated semifinal face-off of the remaining five contestants.

Fan favorite Sawyer Fredericks' inclusion in the Top Five was no shocker. His songs soar on the iTunes charts each week. Together with Fredericks, Koryn Hawthorne represents Team Pharell as well. Her soulful performance of REM's "Everybody Hurts" won the hearts of the audience and easily catapulted her to a spot in the Top Five. 

Team Blake has Meghan Linsey to boast. Her beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace," which broke into the Top 10 on iTunes, was proof that she owns a place in the semifinals of "The Voice" season 8.

Meanwhile, Team Adam's bet on winning this season's trophy is Joshua Davis.  

Tomorrow's "The Voice" season 8 episode will be crashed by the crooning members of the famed Barden Bellas from "Pitch Perfect 2" in the form of a sneak preview of the much-awaited musical flick that stars Anna Kendrick.

A new episode of "The Voice" season 8 will air May 11.
