New York-based Guyanese Lisa Punch was saved last night by West Coast voters and will advance to the next round of ABC’s Rising Star.
Punch got 67.43% of the West Coast votes, ahead of Sarah Darling 67.34% and Will Roth: 56%.
Earlier, Punch who duelled with Alice Lee had received 66%, while Lee got 69 %. Neither had secured the mandatory 70 percent needed to automatically advance to the next round so it was up to US West Coast viewers to determine who would advance to round three.
Punch’s fans came through for her, albeit by less than one-tenth of one percent. And while Lee beat Punch by 3% on the East Coast, on the West Coast Lee managed just 68%,
