Invited Saturday night in TV-hook TF1, the American singer did not fail to say his admiration to one of the members of the jury ...

Public and jury members selected Saturday night candidates who will have the chance to compete for the semifinal of the eighth season of The Voice , starting next week. In each team, the three remaining candidates, all in the hot seat, were decided in the following way: one saved by the vote of the televiewers, the other by his coach and the third one ... forced to leave the adventure.

But the highlight of the evening will surely remain the guest presence of Taylor Swift, on the sidelines of his European tour. On the set, the American star opened the show with his hit Shake it off , played alongside the twelve candidates, before making a new appearance on ME! , his last title. "I'm so fanatic," the singer told Mika, greeting the jury. What to launch the evening on the hats of wheel.

Eliminate the place ...

In Jenifer's team, Sidoine, Chris Isaak's Wicked Game performer, won the vote, while Leona Winter, who sang River deep, Tina Turner's Mountain hig h, was saved by the coach. So it was Poupie that was eliminated.

On the side of Mika, Whitney, the young singer of 19 years, dared a revival of the cult For you still love me Celine Dion. A risk-taking rewarded since the public gave him his vote. He remained London Loko and Gjon's Tears, and Mika chose to keep the second, which blasted the entire jury with Elton John's Rocket man .

Soprano decided to save Vay, who lent his scratchy tune to Calvin Harris and Rag'n'Bone Man's I am giant , Clément having been retained by the audience after his stirring resumption of Since you leave Jean-Jacques Goldman. Gage, despite his performance on Freedom! George Michael, had to leave the TV-hook.

In the ranks of Julien Clerc, it is Leonard who conquered the viewers with Goodbye Marilou Michel Polnareff, rising without false note to the highest peaks of the range. Laureen was not able to convince Daniel Guichard's Mon vieux , and it was Pierre Danae, radiating with a pop monument, Hey Jude of the Beatles, who was saved by the performer of My preference to me .
