The Voice S24: Top 12 Elimination Predictions & Poll Results

The Voice 24 Top 12: Your POLL Results and My Predictions

The Voice Season 24 Top 12 Live Playoffs air tonight (Dec 5) on NBC at 9 pm ET/PT. By the end of the episode, America’s vote will reveal the Top 9. The format is straightforward: eight artists will be declared safe by the public vote, while the bottom four compete live for one Instant Save. That Instant Save winner will join the Top 8 to complete the Top 9.

Below are the results from our reader polls, a breakdown of tonight’s likely eliminations, and my predictions for who advances. I’ve included voting percentages from the poll so you can see how fans ranked each performance and which contestants appear to be trending up or down heading into the Live Playoffs.

Your The Voice 24 Top 12 Poll Results

Thanks to everyone who voted in our polls. The results reflect reader opinion on last night’s Top 12 performances. These rankings can indicate momentum, but live voting and fan engagement will ultimately determine who moves forward.

Favorite Top 12 Performance

Voters named Mara Justine, Nini Iris and Huntley as the standouts from last night’s performances, with Ruby Leigh close behind. Mara’s growth throughout the season is evident, and her recent performance clearly resonated with voters. Huntley continues to deliver reliable, consistent performances. Nini’s darker pop style gives her a distinctive sound that could make her a true contender if she leans into it. Ruby has the potential to go far, though last night wasn’t her strongest showing.

1. Mara Justine – Team Niall – Lose Control by Teddy Swims – 23.03%
2. Nini Iris – Team Niall – Love Song by The Cure – 16.85%
3. Huntley – Team Niall – With a Little Help from My Friends by The Beatles – 15.73%
4. Ruby Leigh – Team Reba – You Lie by Reba McEntire – 14.04%
5. Lila Forde – Team Legend – Closer to Fine by Indigo Girls – 13.48%
6. Mac Royals – Team Legend – I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt – 3.93%
7. Jacquie Roar – Team Reba – Wildflowers and Wild Horses by Lainey Wilson – 2.81%
8. Kara Tenae – Team Gwen – Love by Keyshia Cole – 2.81%
9. BIAS – Team Gwen – God’s Gonna Cut by Johnny Cash – 2.81%

12. Jordan Rainer – Team Reba – Stranger in My House by Ronnie Milsap – 0.56%

Which 3 Contestants SHOULD go home

When fans consider who should leave, vocal ability, consistency, and song choice matter. In this poll category, Tanner Massey and BIAS attract criticism for weak vocal nights compared with the stronger performances across the board. AZÁN is polarizing: she takes big risks that sometimes pay off but can also divide viewers. Jordan Rainer’s spot is precarious mainly due to lower support in the poll, though she has moments of strong musicianship.

1. Tanner Massey – Team Gwen = 22.14%
2. BIAS – Team Gwen – 17.45%
3. AZÁN – Team Legend – 15.36%
4. Jordan Rainer – Team Reba – 14.32%
5. Kara Tenae – Team Gwen – 10.94%
6. Jacquie Roar – Team Reba – 4.69%
7. Lila Forde – Team Legend – 4.17%
8. Mac Royals – Team Legend – 3.39%
9. Ruby Leigh – Team Reba – 2.34%
10. Nini Iris – Team Niall – 2.34%
11. Huntley – Team Niall – 1.82%
12. Mara Justine – Team Niall – 1.04%

Which 3 Contestants WILL go home

Predicting eliminations is never exact, especially in a season with strong talent across multiple teams. That said, the poll indicates a few contestants who are most at risk based on recent performances and apparent fan support. The bottom three in this projection are AZÁN, Tanner Massey, and Kara Tenae, but the live Instant Save can always shake up expectations.

1. AZÁN – Team Legend – 20.25%
2. Tanner Massey – Team Gwen – 18.99%
3. Kara Tenae – Team Gwen – 15.82%
4. Jordan Rainer – Team Reba = 14.35%
5. BIAS – Team Gwen – 9.07%
6. Jacquie Roar – Team Reba – 6.96%
7. Mac Royals – Team Legend – 4.85%
8. Lila Forde – Team Legend – 4.22%
9. Nini Iris – Team Niall – 2.74%
10. Ruby Leigh – Team Reba – 1.69%
11. Huntley – Team Niall – 0.84%
12. Mara Justine – Team Niall – 0.21%

Predictions

My forecast for tonight’s eliminations differs slightly from the poll’s “will go home” results. I expect the three contestants most likely to leave the competition to be: Jordan Rainer, AZÁN, and Tanner Massey. Jordan’s low poll numbers and limited momentum make her vulnerable despite solid moments. AZÁN’s bold choices can energize fans but also risk alienating casual voters when a more mainstream song choice might have been safer. Tanner’s song selection last night didn’t play to his strengths; he’s not best-suited to rock, and that misstep could cost him votes.

That said, predictions can flip quickly in the Live Playoffs. Fan mobilization, social engagement, and the Instant Save performance will decide the final outcomes. Expect a mix of predictable results and potentially surprising saves—that’s the drama that keeps this stage of the competition compelling. Tune in tonight to see which artists secure America’s votes and who will fight for the Instant Save to stay in the race.
