Eight contestants moved forward from America’s vote and while the other four advanced via a “save” from each coach.

Vinson made the Top 13 after his coach Kelly Clarkson used her “save” and chose him over the other members of her team.

Before entering the Top 13, the Filipino singer performed his rendition of Khalid’s “Love Lies.”
