Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Voice' Recap: The Playoffs Reach Their Messy Conclusion

 

I think Britton is really good, but I never doubt the power of Blake and he has Pryor who could be the winner!

I agree with Adam this new voting format was
stupid. I hope they don't do that any more.So ok now we are down to 3 each.  I usually pick Blake as the coach winner but
this year? I just don't think he has the strongest ones
I think Kellys is weak. I believe it will come down to
Alicia or AdamI
think Kelly should have kept Tish over DR KingWhy
Blake picked Spensher I have no clue but he must see
something
 
'The
Voice' Recap: The Playoffs Reach Their Messy
Conclusion
Wednesday,
April 18, 2018
Derek Stauffer
Contributing
Writer, BuddyTV The Voice Playoffs have lasted at least one
episode more than they
needed, but they're finally coming to an end. Following
the remainders of Team
Alicia and Team Blake, Team Adam and Team Kelly took to the
stage to finish
things off. This is enough to fill the time but The Voice
also must fit all the
results in one tight hour episode. This Playoff finale is
The Voice on fast
forward, which is disorienting, but at least Carson's
mugging to the camera is
kept to a minimum.

 

Kaleb Lee ("Die A Happy
Man")

The chances of Kaleb making to the Top 12
are minuscule at best. He did have a slight improvement in
the Knockouts ...
that nosedived as soon as we reached the Voice Playoffs.
Kaleb's performance
here is just fine. Although, it's rather prescient his
song is about dying a
happy man as this probably his farewell Voice performance.
At least his cowboy
hat looks cool. 


Alexa Cappelli ("Stop and
Stare")

Kelly's made a lot of weird decisions with
her team. Alexa making into the Live Shows is one of the
most surprising,
especially since she got there by beating early favorite
Jorge Eduardo. Alexa
has had little time on The Voice stage and she just seems so
unprepared for the
competition. She rushes through "Stop and Stare"
which by all accounts is meant
to be a slow song but it reduces Kelly to tears ... maybe
because she's finally
realizing her team is the weakest. 


D.R. King ("All on My
Mind")

Team Kelly finally gets a decent
performance with D.R. King taking the stage. D.R. is still a
long way from
winning the competition but he is the one competitor that
Team Kelly has with
her at this point. D.R. has a ridiculous range and power.
D.R. could do whatever
he wanted and stand out. This is one of his lesser
performances but still above
anything about Team Kelly this night (so
far).

Dylan Hartigan ("Mary Jane's Last
Dance")

"Mary Jane's Last Dance" is many
things.
It can be viewed as a song about Tom Petty's 
divorce or it can be viewed as a
ballad about heavy drug use. The one thing "Mary
Jane's Last Dance" isn't: sexy.
Yet, no one bothered to tell Dylan Hartigan that
fact. 
Dylan has no "off switch" for his boy
band
dance moves and gyrating. If it was annoying before (and it
certainly was) it
reaches unbearable status here. The shame is that Dylan has
a decent voice, he
just distracts from it by trying to make love to everyone in
the audience with
his eyes. I fully expect Dylan to go through because people
are shallow. I fully
expect to be enraged. 

Tish Haynes Keys ("At
Last")

From the valley of Dylan, The Voice goes
rocketing into the peak of Tish Haynes Keys. Tish does pick
a very difficult
song and she doesn't pull it off flawlessly. There are
some pitchy and rough
moments, yet any downsides are made up by her high, high
notes. Tish is a
powerhouse, in every sense of the word. She'll be
battling with Team Blake's
Kyla Jade in the Live Shows, assuming she moves through, but
she
should.


Reid Umstattd ("Long Cool Woman (In a
Black Dress)")

There's quite a few other artists on Team
Adam who I'd like to see move on besides Reid, so
I'm with Reid getting the
opening "death slot" even with the weird way the
voices are being handled this
time around. Reid does a fine job but it's not a Top 12
worthy performance. At
least it shouldn't become one. 

Jackie Verna
("Once")

There's no way to get around it. If
Jackie Verna and Jackie Foster make to the Live Shows,
it's going to be a
nightmare. Not only do they have the same name, but they
look similar and have
very similar tones. The only difference is that Verna is on
Team Adam and Foster
is on Team Alicia. 

Of the two Jackie's, Team Alicia's
version is better but Verna proves she's passable
enough. This isn't her best
performance ever but it's pleasant. She might sneak into
the Top 12, but she may
not entirely belong there. 


Drew Cole ("Wild
Horses")
Adam's current bromantic interest
takes the stage and does his standard thing. Drew has really
only gotten this
far in the compeititon because Adam likes him personally.
Yet, Drew has shown
improvements throughout the season. This is one of his best
performances so far.
It's not special but it's
acceptable. 


 Mia Boostrom ("Either
Way")

In
the first round of Playoffs, Mia
missed her chance of making the Top 12 by picking the wrong
song. "Baby I
Love You" just didn't fit her voice. "Either
Way" is a better choice on paper,
but not in practice. She is on the back foot the entire
performance and can't
even approach the notes she needs to hit. Mia's Voice
hopes, crashed and burned
hard in these live shows. She seemed so promising and now
she's
crumbled.



Rayshun LaMarr ("I'm Going
Down")

Rayshunn really leaves nothing on the
floor for this performance. He's going all out to earn
his spot with this
performance and it's very fun to watch, if a bit
exhausting. Rayshun does a bit
too much acting while performing, it's not Dylan
Hartigan bad, but he's very
flamboyant. Rayshun does have a technically impressive voice
though. If he
doesn't make into the Top 12, it will not be for lack of
trying. 

The Results
Here's a refresher of how the result will
be decided. One more artist is moving forward due to viewer
votes, following the
contestants who moved forward in round one. Out of the
remaining four artists
left, the coach will pick one of them to move forward.
It's messy but so is this
new way of voting. 

First up is Team Blake. To the surprise of
no one, Pyror Baird gets the votes. Pyror Baird is in the
Top 12! However, what
is a surprise is that Blake picks Spensha Baker. It's
weird but not
eregious. 

Next up is Team Kelly. Out of nowhere
Kaleb Lee gets the votes from America. Kaleb Lee is in the
Top 12 for reasons
only the most devoted Voice viewers can explain. Kelly picks
D.R. King as her
third artist. It's not Tish but at least it's not
Dylan.


Team Alicia follows Team Kelly. Jackie
Foster gets through on America's votes. Jacke Foster is
in the Top 12 which is
absolutely no surprise. With Britton and Jackie, Alicia
still has one of the
strongest teams going into the Top 12. After Alicia gives
one of her long
speeches about beauty and her artists' souls, she
chooses Christiana Danielle.
(I would've chosen Kelsea but whatever. You do you
Alicia.)

Team Adam closes it out. Rayshun LaMarr
gets America's votes and moves onto the Top 12. Before
Adam makes his pick, he
speaks for us all and says this new format is stupid and
should never happen
again. Then he ruins that good will by choosing Jackie
Verna. 

To sum it all up, The Top 12
are:

Team Blake



Kyla Jade
Pryor Baird
Spensha
Baker

Team Kelly



Brynn Cartelli 
Kaleb Lee
D.R.
King

Team Alicia



Britton Buchanan 
Christian Danielle
Jackie
Foster

Team Adam 



Sharane Calister 
Rayshun LaMarr
Jackie Verna 
 

But what do you make of the selections?
How do you feel the voting worked? Was it fine or was it a
disaster? Which coach
has the best team now? Who would you have saved in the
coaches
positions?
