Team Blake’s Ian Flanigan Wins “Voice” Instant Save By Singing Travis Tritt’s “Anymore”

As The Voice prepared to move into its Season 19 finale, it had to cut its pool of artists from nine to five.

The artists who earned the most votes from each team were automatically saved. Those artists were Jim Ranger of Team Blake, Carter Rubin of Team Gwen, DeSz of Team Kelly, and John Holiday of Team Legend.

All of the remaining artists (Team Blake’s Ian Flanigan, Team Gwen’s Ben Allen, and Team Legend’s Tamara Jade and Cami Clune) were left to compete for the Instant Save. Each one delivered a performance and then fans voted in real time for the winner.

The person who won the Instant Save got to move on to the finale…and that person was Ian Flanigan.

From the get-go, the coaches and fans have been enchanted by Flanigan’s unique voice. His coach Blake Shelton has said time and time again how there is no one else in the world that sounds like him.

Flanigan chose to showcase his standout voice during the Instant Save by singing Travis Tritt‘s powerful hit, “Anymore.”

Because “Anymore” is such an emotional song, it isn’t easy for people to pull off. But it was obvious Voice viewers thought Flanigan did a superb job bringing its heartbreaking story to life.

“you definitely have a diamond in the rough with @IanFlanigan” one Twitter user remarked after hearing Flanigan’s Instant Save performance. See that fan’s reaction and a few others below.

Whether Flanigan wins the show or not, he has a bright future ahead of him!
