Lynnea Moorer’s road on this season of “The Voice” has been anything but smooth.
After failing to woo the judges during the Blind Auditions, the Oakland native battled her way back into the competition by fending off five other contestants in the first-ever “Comeback Stage” showdown and joined Kelly Clarkson’s team.
But then on Tuesday night, Moorer found herself on the chopping block again.
And again, she managed to survive.

After Monday’s Top 13 performances, America’s votes sent Moorer into the bottom three, along with SandyRedd and Tyke James.
Needing to earn an “instant save” via Twitter votes, the woman Clarkson has dubbed the “Comeback Kid” belted out a rousing cover of Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You” that had the audience roaring and Clarkson pleading for votes.
Clarkson pointed out that Moorer is the “late-comer” to the contest (having been away on the “Comeback Stage”), so she hasn’t had the many weeks to build a fan base.
“But she’s so worth the save,” Clarkson added. “And next week we have something so special planned. Give her a shot.”
And when the Twitter votes came in, the viewers did just that as SandyRedd and James were sent packing. Upon hearing her name called by host Carson Daly, Moorer burst into tears and received a big hug from her coach.
She should have been on the Voice from the get go, she just needs more time to grow. #VoiceSaveLynnea
