The Top 12 performed on Monday, May 13, 2013, and received the results on Tuesday, May 14, 2013.[5][8] Usher brought in his choreographer, Aakomon Jones, to help coach the artists on his team. During the performance episode's second hour, host Carson Daly mentioned on the changes made to theiTunes multiplier bonus (which remained at tenfold if the artist's single peaked at the top 100 during the voting period), where onlyone download of an artist's eligible song per registered iTunes account during the designated voting window will count as a vote towards that week's results. The change was contemporaneously added to the "Vote Help" section of the show's NBC.com voting page. None of the artists reached the top 10 on iTunes, so no bonuses were awarded this week.[9] He also mentioned that the iTunes bonus is only given to those in the Top 10 at the close of voting (10am EST).[10]

At the beginning of the results show for The Live Playoffs, Carson Daly announced that "inconsistencies" were found in the voting, so votes cast via text-messaging and online would be excluded from the vote count to ensure fairness.[65][66] Daly brought Jason George, CEO of Telescope, the company that manages the show's voting system, on stage to stress that the exclusion would not have affected the results either way.[66][67] Reported issues were that voting had closed on the Facebook app and website at 11.30 pmPST (an hour and a half after the show's West Coast airing) when it should have ended at 10 amEST the next day,[67] which may have been a result of too many users voting at the same time.[68]
Upon seeing that his team members Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons had not been saved, coach Adam Levine said, "I hate this country," right before the top 8 results were announced.[69] This brought some angry responses on his Twitter page.[70] He then sent a series of Tweets with dictionary definitions of the words "joke," "humorless," "lighthearted," and "misunderstand" to state that it was merely a "heat of the moment" reaction.[70][71] Levine later provided an explanation: "Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me, and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results."[72]
