'The Voice': Jermaine Paul, Juliet Simms Make The Finals

The results are in, and the four "Voice" contestants moving on to the finals have been decided.

Each artist was assigned two scores, both out of 100, following their performances on Monday night's show. The first came from their respective judge, while America's vote determined the other. The contestant from each team with the highest overall score advanced to the finals.

With no last-chance performances or saves left in the game, the night's singing came from last year's top four: Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez, Beverly McClellan and winner Javier Colon.

Frampton, who repped Team Blake last year, was first to the stage, performing her new single "Don't Kick the Chair" with Kid Cudi. If anything, the fact that Frampton remains a viable enough recording artist to be performing the lead single from her upcoming record with a major artist like Cudi is a testament to the fact that whether they advance or not, these folks will be just fine.

After Frampton's performance came the night's first elimination. Aguilera evenly split her 100 points between her two contestants, Chris Mann and Lindsay Pavao, saying the two were so different and performed so strongly that she felt it right to let America decide who should advance.

America's vote was close, but ultimately it was Mann who prevailed, earning a total score of 104 to Pavao's 96, meaning America's vote went 54 to 46 in Mann's favor.

Season-one finalist Vicci Martinez performed her new single, "Come Along," and she got a little help from mentor Cee Lo.

Next up was Adam, who awarded Tony Lucca 60 points to Katrina Parker's 40, saying that while Parker is easily the contest's most improved contestant, he felt that, going into the finals, his connection with Lucca would better serve the rocker on his way to a potential victory.

America, it seems, felt the same. Lucca prevailed with an overall score of 108. Parker did snag an impressive 48 points from America's vote, though her total score of 92 fell short.

Team Christina's season one contestant, rocker Beverly McClellan, hit the stage next to perform "Money Changes Everything" with '80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper. McClellan, like Frampton, has a new album, Fear Nothing, on the way, reaffirming the sentiment Adam shared with his own team when they were on the chopping block: that all the contestants should take the exposure they've gained being on such a popular platform and use it as a launching pad, as both Frampton and McClellan (regardless of the fact that they lost) clearly have.

After last year's winner, Team Adam's Javier Colon, wowed the crowd with his new single "Drop in the Ocean," Team Blake hit the ring to find out who would stay and who would go.

Like Christina, Blake evenly divided his 100 points between Erin Willett and Jermaine Paul, saying he didn't want to be part of the decision-making process anymore. (At least he was honest.) However, America went big for Jermaine, giving the former Alicia Keys backup singer a whopping 77 points for a 123 total. By comparison, Willett totaled only 77.

The night's biggest surprise came when Team Cee Lo stepped forward for elimination. Cee Lo chose to go the Adam route, splitting his points 60/40 between rocker Juliet Simms (60), whose performance of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" earned the most praise of the night from the panel, and Jamar Rogers (40).

With his compelling backstory and high-energy performances, Rogers has been a front-runner throughout the competition, but America clearly felt the same as the judges regarding Juliet. She snagged another 61 points from the public vote for a 121 total, besting Rogers' combined 79.
