PORT ARTHUR — Fans of DeAndre Nico are circulating a petition protesting DeAndre Nico's elimination from NBC's The Voice Tuesday night.
The Washington Post called DeAndre's elimination "bizarre" after The Voice crew chose to advance a sick teammate instead.
Nico performed "All of Me" by John Legend. But his coach, Adam Levine, said that he was sad to say he was asking viewers to vote for Strange because she had not been able to "sing for her life."

The Voice this was wrong!I’m still upset about last nite! DeAndre Nico sang his VOICE off and Adam threw him under the bus! A Coach shouldn’t have said that! I have NO respect for ADAM! #shameonyouAdam
Adam Levine only propelled DeAndre Nico to his next level, if you're a Christian you understand what happened. #KingdomMind
