I was upset Lucas was cut after he nailed that Prince song! But then again Jen has a real possible winner in Davon!

I would have liked to see Natalie advance but I am
ok with who he kept. Kind of thought Hannah might have
advanced 

 
'The
Voice' Recap: The Playoffs Begin with Jennifer Hudson
and Blake Shelton 's Teams
Monday,
November 13, 2017

Writer, BuddyTV The playoffs begin a three-night event, as the
remaining performers compete for a spot in The
Voice season 13 live shows. Coaches Jennifer Hudson
and Blake Shelton reveal their Comeback Artists, and all the
teams are cut in half as the coaches have to make the
hardest and most brutal decisions of the season. Each coach
has to pare their team from six to three to round out their
final rosters with the Top 12 artists that will move on to
the final phase of the competition.


Jennifer's
Team

Davon
Fleming ("I Am Changing")
Davon
chooses one of the most challenging selections imaginable,
picking the song Jennifer made famous in Dreamgirls.
It's a lot to take on, but he sings to the rafters as
all four coaches jump to their feet. Miley Cyrus throws her
shoe, and host Carson Daly is shouting into his mic.
Davon's rendition might be just as Oscar-worthy as
Jennifer's.
Hannah Mrozak ("Learn to Let It Go")
Hannah
was a steal for Jennifer's team, but landing on
Jennifer's team feels like it might be a fated match-up.
She too lost someone close to her, like Jennifer, and they
bond over the loss. Her performance of the Kesha song is a
good fit, and she offers a soul-filled and emotional
interpretation when she takes to the stage.
Lucas Holliday ("The Beautiful Ones") --
Jennifer's Comeback Artist
Nobody
can say Lucas doesn't have ambition, and his version of
this Prince classic shows his spunk. Jennifer initially sent
him home but chose him as her Comeback Artist before he was
out of the door. He has a rocky start with this Prince song
but finishes stronger than any other performer I've seen
on this show. The audience is in his pocket the whole time,
but he completely commits to it and totally
delivers.
Shi'Ann Jones ("Tattooed Heart")
Shi'Ann
impresses the coaches with the Ariana Grande cover, and
Blake is downright tongue-tied. Jennifer says she needs to
evolve in her craft, and Miley even says that Shi'Ann
seems like a younger version of Jennifer herself. Her
performance is breathy and misty, and she pushes out a sound
unlike any of the other artists. She might be young, but
there is enough potential to make her a real
contender.
Chris Weaver ("California Soul")
As
one of the coaches' faves, Chris has talent to spare. He
sounds amazing no matter what he sings. But when he's
given the upbeat, rich songs with all the heart of this one,
he really shines. Well, to quote the coaches after his
performance, he really "stanks."
Noah Mac ("In the Air Tonight")
This
kid is nothing like this competition has ever seen, and he
even brings his own arrangement to present to the band. His
voice is so deep and smooth that you would never imagine it
coming from this blond-haired young man. When he belts out
this famous song, folks aren't even thinking about Phil
Collins. He's amazing, and I tend to agree with Blake
when he calls him the "frontrunner."Results: Jennifer keeps
Davon Fleming, Noah Mac and Shi'Ann
Gibson.

Blake's
Team

Red
Marlow ("Chiseled in Stone")
Red's
voice is a total throwback that symbolizes a different time
in country music. Adam Levine connects with it as well,
identifying its honesty. He has a real stage presence, and
more than one coach says they can't wait to come to his
concert. Count me in that number because he sounds like what
country music should.
Chloe Kohanski ("Time
After Time")
Chloe
wowed us with her performance of "Landslide," but
her take on the Cyndi Lauper hit is unbelievable. Blake
stole her from Miley, and he admits there is something about
her voice that draws him to her. She knows exactly what kind
of music she wants to sing, and this song gives her a chance
to showcase the storytelling ability in her voice.

Natalie Stovall
("Callin' Baton Rouge") -- Blake's
Comeback Artist
I'm
definitely a little biased, since this is one of my all-time
favorite country songs, but Natalie matches the energy of
the pick, note for note. Even Miley remarks on how fun it is
to watch, as she switches back and forth between the mic and
the fiddle. She's full of spunk and enthusiasm, and
she's got my vote all day.
Esera Tuaolo ("How Do I Live")
This
might seem like a strange choice for the ex-NFL player, but
he handles it pretty well. He wobbles a little in the
beginning and in the highest of the notes, but he brings it
home in the end. It has special meaning for his life, and
his performance illustrates exactly how personal it is for
him, even when nerves are trying to get the best of him.

Keisha Renee ("Love Can Build a
Bridge")
This
is possibly one of the most iconic country songs for women,
and Keisha has a real heart for it. It's also one of
Blake's favorite, so he has a lot invested in this
performance. Keisha's take on the classic sounds wholly
different from the Judds' original, but it's just as
beautiful and heartfelt. Blake is a total fan of
Keisha's, and there is no doubt what he sees in her.
Results: Blake keeps Keisha Renee, Red Marlow and
Chloe Kohanski.

Didn't you just love the coaches' fun
moment singing "'Bust a Move"? Would you like
to see more performances, informal or formal, from them,
separately and together? Let us know your thoughts in the
