'The Voice' Season 20 semifinals: Rachel Mac, Dana Monique sing flawlessly as injured Nick Jonas cheers them
Monday Blues can be tough on us all, but it seems that it was particularly tough for 'The Voice' coach Nick Jonas, who had a rather nerve-wracking weekend. Jonas shared with his fans during the semi-finals of 'The Voice' that he was hospitalized over the weekend after a bike injury.
Nick said, “I’m feeling okay. I’ve been better, but I’m doing alright. (I have) a cracked rib from a spill on a bike and a few other bumps and bruises. I just wanted to go ahead and say that in case I’m not as physically enthusiastic as I usually am.” He made a special appeal to coach Blake Shelton and asked him not to make him laugh too much because it hurts. Well if there is any cure for feeling bruised and blue, it is the power of music and the top nine contestants of 'The Voice' certainly brought their best to the stage.

So who are emerging as front runners for the finale now? Here's a look at what fans had to say about the final nine performances and who they feel could make it all the way to the finale. The top five artists, along with the winner of the final Wildcard Instant Save of the season, will be announced on Tuesday's live show and they will head to the Season 20 finale.
Fans felt that 'The Voice' couldn't have had a more uplifting start than Victor Solomon's performance of 'I Can Only Imagine'. Solomon has always managed to impress the judges. He got the only standing ovation from all four judges on the last episode. This time too, Victor of Team Legend certainly seemed to impress. One fan tweeted, "That #victorsolomon performance of "I can only imagine" on #TheVoice just gave me liffeeeee." Another fan tweeted, "This is so BEAUTIFUL so glad he’s back to his Gospel Roots “I can only Imagine Hallelujah #TheVoice."

Others though felt she hit some rough notes during her performance. One fan tweeted, "Pia sang well, I don’t think it was her best, heard some off key parts, I think the coaches are being nice, but she does have that star presence. Let’s her her next song. #TheVoice."

Another contestant who had fans on the fence was Team Blake's Jordan Matthew Young. After his performance of 'Rose Colored Glasses', one fan tweeted, "Nope not feeling it. Jordan will not advance. Should've sung rock #TheVoice #VoiceTop9."

The youngest in the competition, Rachel Mac from Team Nick, sang 'Only Human'. She seems to be going from strength to strength and fans are considering her to be a frontrunner to win 'The Voice' along with Cam Anthony.
One fan tweeted, "Cam or Rachel Mac better win this thing #TheVoice." Another fan tweeted, "Sitting here watching Rachel Mac’s live performance on @NBCTheVoice and I’ve got cold chills up and down my body. #TheVoice #RachelMac."

It wasn't just the contestants who were feeling the performance pressure though, as Blake Shelton and Ian Flanigan took to the stage to the delight of fans.
But it was the contestants teaming up that seemed to have the fans truly excited, first as Corey, Cam and Kenzie took to the stage and then as Dana, Victor and Pia teamed up for trios that triumphed. About Corey, Cam and Kenzie's performance, one fan tweeted, "@NBCTheVoice omg!!! Brought back 1975!! Cam, Corey and Kenzie nailed it! #TheVoice."

Another triumph of the night was young Gihanna Zoe's performance. Gihanna, who has always been acknowledged for her vocal talent, has nevertheless found herself getting rather lost in the fray of late. But it seemed like she certainly changed that around on Monday's episode.
One fan tweeted, "I love that Gihanna is singing Reflection!! It’s one of my favorite Disney songs. She sounds and looks beautiful!! #TheVoice." Another fan tweeted, "America, PLEASE do not Underrate Gihanna Zoë. This is The Voice and her Voice DELIVERED. #TheVoice." Others couldn't stop gushing about Gihanna's vocal prowess. One fan tweeted, "@gihannazoe The next Whitney Houston! Wow. Wow. Wow. #TheVoice."

Dana Monique of Team Nick may have wowed fans with her performance as part of the trio with Victor and Pia earlier in the show, but showed that when she sings solo it's when the magic really happens. One fan tweeted, "O-M-G! Dana Monique!!!!!!!! WoW! What talent! What a Presence! Amazing! #TheVoice." Another fan tweeted, "Dana mother-frackin' Monique... I mean, two words: Super. Star. #TheVoice." One more said, "#TheVoice #teamnick Dana Monique killed that Bruno Marrs song!!! WOW phenomenal." Another said, "@NBCTheVoice wow Dana Monique was the bomb she was flawless."

Team Kelly had the biggest advantage going into the semi-finals with three contestants including Gihanna Zoe, Corey Ward and Kenzie Wheeler. While Corey and Kenzie impressed fans, judging from the fan reactions coming in, it seems like Gihanna could be the fan favorite on this team.
If you're wondering what about the front runner of 'The Voice', well what can fans say about Cam Anthony that hasn't been already said. One fan tweeted, "This kid has a fantastic voice! He nailed this iconic song. #TeamBlake #TheVoice @BoyzIIMen." Of course, like always many fans took to Twitter to say that Anthony ought to win this competition. One fan tweeted, "Seems silly to continue with the competition. It’s just so obvious. @CamAnthony #TheVoice."
