‘The Road’ Recap: Keith Urban Shocks the Top 6 With Surprising Elimination News

On Sunday, November 30, the Top 6 performed in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Keith Urban, host and judge, announced no elimination, saying next week they must say goodbye to two people.
The unplugged format, unlike prior rowdy-club shows, framed the night as remaining artists opened for Keith Urban with stripped-down sets, with Adam Sanders delivering a lower-energy set judges noted as contrasting his usual style.
Several contestants brought highly personal originals that resonated with the room, notably Britnee Kellogg's `King of Legoland` about her autistic son and Channing Wilson's `Ol' Dog` after a blocked artery diagnosis, while Cassidy Daniels remained the top-rated performer.
Judges relied on audience ratings and a substitute judge to evaluate the bottom two, with Jordan Davis joining Blake Shelton, judge, and Gretchen Wilson, tour manager and judge, as the Top 6 head to Memphis, Tennessee next week.
Judges' praise highlighted strengths even as pressure builds for contestants, with Jordan Davis calling Britnee's song `That's a special song` and Gretchen Wilson saying `My heart goes out to Cody`.
