Filipino-American jazz artist Amy Vachal has made it to the next phase of the hit American singing show “The Voice.”

Coach Adam Levine, vocalist of the band Maroon 5, chose to save Vachal on Thursday (Manila time) after his two other bets Jordan Smith and Shelby Brown were voted in the top 12 by viewers. His choice left Chance Peña, Blain Mitchell and Keith Semple eliminated.

During the live playoffs, Vachal performed the Frank Sinatra standard “The Way You Look Tonight.” She earned praises for the performance, with her former mentor Pharrell Williams commenting, “That was effortless and crazy. I felt like you can win and you are awesome.”

Levine said Vachal was “an artist performing on the show.”

Another Fil-Am, Nathan Hermida, failed to make it to the Top 12 last season after Levine chose to eliminate him after the live playoffs round.

Rounding up Season 9’s Top 12 were Gwen Stefani’s bets Jeffrey Austin, Braiden Sunshine and Korin Bukowski; Blake Shelton’s talents Barrett Baber, Zach Seabaugh and Emily Ann Roberts; and Williams’ wards Madi Davis, Evan Mckeel and Mark Hood. IDL
