'The Voice' wildcard finalist: Damien Lawson grabs final spot in Top 4

Tuesday (Dec. 9) night's episode of "The Voice" started out with a serious bang. Unlike previous elimination episodes where Carson Daly painstakingly reveals the top singers moving onto the next round, he surprisingly revealed the Top 3 within the first five minutes of the show: Matt McAndrew, Craig Wayne Boyd and Chris Jamison. Yeah, how's that for a show opener?


So what happened in the rest of the episode? Well, for the first time in the history of the show, all nine eliminated artists -- yes even the extremely, extremely recently eliminated Damien Lawson and Taylor John Williams -- took to the "Voice" stage to sing for the wildcard spot and to turn the Top 3 into the Top 4. 

Honestly, the entire show was kind of a whirlwind of craziness since so many people returned to stage. And although many people sang well, standout performances of the night included Anita Antoinette's reggae spin on "Waiting on the World to Change," Reagan James' performance of "Put Your Records On" -- which Pharrell Williams called "magical" -- and Sugar Jones' rendition of "Back to Black," which made Blake Shelton admit that she might have a good chance of getting back in the competition. 

However, when all is said and done, the returning 7 singers who were previously eliminated didn't stand a chance against Taylor John and Damien, and that was proven on Wednesday (Dec. 10) when Carson revealed on the "Today" show that Damien had been voted into the Top 4 by America.
