‘The Voice’ Season 9 Contestants: Braiden Sunshine Was ‘Hoping & Praying’ Korin Bukowski Would Win Instant Save? [PHOTO, VIDEOS]
Third time is not a charm for Korin Bukowski!
Which 'Voice' Contestants Make Up The 'Weird Squad'?
The Voice revealed the Top 9 Tuesday night and it was no surprise for many that Team Gwen's Bukowski landed in the bottom once more after being there for the last two weeks. This time she was joined by teammate Braiden Sunshine.
Bukowski, while spending plenty of time in the last couple of weeks in the bottom, has not grown used to it, but she did give a great rendition of Colbie Caillat's "Try," despite letting her emotions partly get the best of her while performing.

Bukowski may have stumbled through the song, but she never stopped.
Her teammate Sunshine gave Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe" a whirl, which had coach Adam Levine grinning and bobbing along.
It seemed to have impressed more than just Levine since Sunshine won the Instant Save that ultimately sent Bukowski home.
While it is great news Sunshine is still in the competition, he looked shocked and frustrated to beat out Bukowski and then they shared a sweet embrace as seen above.
That hug then found its way on Sunshine's Instagram where he left the most genuine message for Bukowski.
"I just want to say this is one of if not the nicest person I've ever met. She's gentle, kind, and caring and I couldn't have asked for a better friend throughout this whole experience," he dished, adding, "It was horrible having to go against her in the bottom two. I was hoping and praying that she would be called."
Sunshine wanted Bukowski to stay. How selfless of him!
"She did a great job especially with that kinda pressure. It's so sad to see her go," Sunshine shared, adding, "I'm gonna miss my friend."
Sunshine may be slightly bummed his teammate is officially out of the competition especially because of him, but it looks like he gained an incredible friendship that will carry off the show.
Plus, Bukowski has nothing but positivity to spread--despite getting eliminated.
"Wow," she divulged on Twitter, adding, "What an incredible journey with incredible people. I love you all and thank you. God bless."
She even seemed to give a shout out to the Weird Squad.
The Voice will air on NBC Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
