Michelle Chamuel keeps Team Usher alive on 'The Voice' by earning a spot in the final 5

"The Voice" host Carson Daly announced early in Tuesday night's episode that while all the songs sung Monday night by the show's remaining 6 contestants scored on the iTunes chart, one song went as high as iTunes' top 10 - and that appears to be former Ann Arborite Michelle Chamuel's knockout version of Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble," which earned a sustained, exuberant ovation from "The Voice"'s live audience on Monday.

So it came as no surprise that Chamuel was the first name announced on the "saved" list, as determined by viewer votes.

Before Chamuel's name was called, the former My Dear Disco/Ella Riot front woman performed Madonna's "Open Your Heart" with Team Shakira's lone survivor, Sasha Allen, and Chamuel's coach Usher talked about why the crowd responded so exuberantly to his protege's second performance on Monday evening.

"I think what they got a chance to see is what they all believe in," said Usher. " … We’re proud, we’re happy, we’re humbled by this experience. This is our first time in the saddle, and we’re going to put our best foot forward and continue to be the greatest we can be, man."

Allen, who also had terrific performances on Monday, had her name announced second, followed by Danielle Bradbury (Team Blake), Amber Carrington (Team Adam), and the Swon Brothers (Team Blake), leaving Team Blake's Holly Tucker shut out of the competition.

Chamuel will be back on "The Voice" next Monday night, aiming to earn a spot in the singing competition's final 4.
