'Voice Tour' Voting Now Open: Which Artists Do You Want to See On Tour?
For the first time in six seasons, The Voice is sending some of its most noted finalists on tour. And the show is allowing you to choose which of this season's finalists will join Tessanne Chin, Will Champlin, Jacquie Lee, and Dia Frampton on the summer concert tour!
NBC has offered fans the following choices: Audra McLaughlin, Delvin Choice, Kristen Merlin, Kat Perkins, and Sisaundra Lewis. You can vote by going to the official site for The Voice Tour:
As of press time, the vote looks like this:
Kristen Merlin (31%)
Kat Perkins (24%)
Audra McLaughlin (19%)
Sisaundra Lewis (15%)
Delvin Choice (11%)
Granted, it's still early, but Kristen Merlin's vote tally basically lends credence to the notion that, if not for the Instant Save, she would probably be in the finals right now. I mean, she did land in the Top 6 on iTunes after all, which is something neither of her fellow bottom three artists could say on performance night.

It's unclear if the three artists who made the finals will automatically be a part of the tour, but if not, it's odd that they weren't presented as possible options for the tour. Could be that NBC is waiting until after the finale airs and the winner is declared to add them as options, since the real-time vote tallying here could indirectly spoil who's likely to win next Tuesday (hell, I have no idea who's winning this thing, since my Top 5 post-show power rankings reflected just how far away my tastes are from the rest of America's, apparently). It's also a bit disappointing that some other Voice alums from earlier seasons haven't been offered a spot. Not that everyone is necessarily clamoring for Chris Mann or Juliette Sims, but hey, if Jermaine Paul is going to win your show, you might as well get some kind of use out of him.
So which, if any, of these five artists will you be voting for? If none, which past artists would you have liked to have seen on this list? Sound off in the comments!
