‘The Voice’ Season 8 Contestants: Brian Johnson & Mia Z Eliminated, ‘Blessed To Have Shared This Journey’ [PHOTO, VIDEOS]
The Voice Season 8 narrowed down its Top 12 to a Top 10 Tuesday night, which meant two contestants lost the battle during the Instant Save performances.
Adam Levine wound up with two contestants in the bottom three, Deanna Johnson and Brian Johnson, while Pharrell Williams' contestant Mia Z also found herself in the bottom three.
Mia Z and Brian didn't impress the viewers enough with their respective performances of "Stormy Monday" and "Amazed" in comparison to Deanna's rendition of "It Will Rain" so they were cut from the competition.

Despite them exiting the competition, they remained happy and hopeful for the future.
"Extremely happy for the Top 10!!" Mia Z gushed on Twitter, adding, "You are all so talented and I am so blessed to have shared this journey with you."
