The Voice Is Bringing Back Four Season 27 Contestants: Who Do You Think They Should Be?
The Voice Is Bringing Back Four Season 27 Contestants: Who Do You Think They Should Be? In the final moments of Monday's episode of The Voice — the conclusion of Season 27's Playoffs — six more artists were eliminated. Only maybe they weren't, not really. Host Carson Daly revealed to coaches John Legend, Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé that they were being allowed to offer Super Saves to four cut contestants and bring them back for the NBC sing-off's Lives (which kick off Monday, May 12, at 8/7c). Now, of course, the question is: Which vocalists should be given those coveted reprieves? More from TVLine Kelsea's choice oughta be easy peasy. She's got to bring back Jaelen Johnston, whom she never should have dropped in the first place. Not only was the fan favorite her only country artist, but he'd slayed in the Playoffs. Moving on… THE VOICE -- "The Knockouts Part 2" Episode 2710 -- Pictured: Divighn -- (Photo by: Tyler Golden/NBC) Michael's decision shouldn't be too hard to make, either. After the showstopper of a performance that Divighn gave in the Knockouts, he should be ushered not just back into the competition but straight on through to the finale. As for John… hmm. Whom he'll pick is a real question mark. Ari Camille and Olivia Kuper Harris both did well in the Playoffs, but in my heart of hearts, I'm hoping he'll go back further and give another chance to Nell Simmons, who got the chop in the KOs. Adam arguably faces the most difficult choice. Ethan Eckenroad is a true artist, he just has no stage presence. Britton Moore could develop into the next Shawn Mendes. But — and I'm sure there's no way this will happen — Adam should go back and unmake the mistake that he made sending Fran Posla home after her amazing performance in the Playoffs. Who do you think the coaches will bring back? And who are you hoping they'll bring back? Sound off in the comments below. Best of TVLine Sign up for TVLine's Newsletter.

The Voice Recap: Which Singers' Blind Ambition Got Them Deemed Battle-Ready?
Pitches were made. Blocks were played. Canadian Mounties were brought on stage. But did any of the talent trotted out by Night 3 of The Voice's Season 27 Blind Auditions live up to the hype? Read on, and we'll discuss. Divighn (Team Michael), 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' — Grade: B+ | Maybe this grade should be an all-the-way A. Divighn showed us range and flair (those yips!), and his voice never faltered even while putting on a heckuva stage show. But the overall impression the two-chair turn left was 'fun' rather than 'fantastic.' Maybe, as John Legend was, I was listening for some more 'stank.' Yeah, that's the ticket.

Then the two-chair turn unleashed a voice that was as magnificent as it was mammoth. Though Adam Levine tried to recruit Jacquelyn, he failed, perhaps because he suggested that she hadn't stuck all of her landings. Tinika Wyatt (Team Adam), 'Sorry Not Sorry' — Grade: B | A church marriage counselor, Tinika delivered a solid Demi Lovato cover that was full of well-deployed 'stank,' as John would say. But the fiftysomething still remained a no-chair turn until she sang a made-up number asking for a Blind Audition; then, Adam was moved to use his Coach's Replay and save her from a depressing ride home. Page Mackenzie (Team Kelsea), 'Hell on Wheels' — Grade: B | Kelsea Ballerini and Michael waited until the very last second to push their buttons for Page. Why so slow? Beats me. The Nashvillian tore into the song like I do dinner after fasting for five whole minutes in a row. Perhaps the coaches were looking to hear a little more raspiness in her fierce vocal. Conor James (Team Adam), 'I Say a Little Prayer' — Grade: B | After starting off with a heavenly light touch, Conor earned a four-chair turn with a rendition of Dionne Warwick's classic that was competent but ultimately uninspiring. Not bad at all, just maybe not four-chair-turn good. Still, the coaches were gaga for the 28-year-old. Kelsea went so far as to declare herself obsessed. Well, OK, then! Jessica Manalo (Team Kelsea), 'Unholy' — Grade: B+ | Jessica's vocal kinda snuck up on us, didn't it? She was good throughout her Kim Petras/Sam Smith cover, but it didn't hit me how good she was until she was done and I realized the breadth of skills she'd shown us in one short audition. Plus, the two-chair turn's rearrangement of the song suggested that she'll be as interesting an artist is she will a singer. Barry Jean Fontenot (Team Michael), 'I Wish It Would Rain' — Grade: A | From the start, I was taken with this law school dropout's rich, lived-in voice. 'We should all turn around,' Adam said. Agreed. But only Michael was moved to swivel his chair and scoop up this contestant upon hearing his poised and appealing take on The Temptations. Maybe, like Adam, the others had zeroed in on a pitchy moment (that at least I missed). Tyler Kae (Team Adam), 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' — Grade: A | Overcoming crippling anxiety to take the stage, Tyler delivered such a beautiful, slowed-down rendition of Cyndi Lauper's classic that Adam was moved to use his Block on Kelsea (the contestant's only other chair turn). I can only imagine how many Adele covers Tyler's coach is going to throw her way. (Dare we hope for some Alison Moyet?) The Voice: Every Winner — and What They've Done Since the Show View List (Team Legend), 'Adorn' — Grade: B | After his hoop dreams ended with an injury, Brian Darden II refocused his attentions on music — good move, considering that he managed to get a four-chair turn from mostly sleepwalking though Miguel's hit. Whether BD's presence was lacking, his vocal was strong — and he seemed able to modulate it with the same ease that we change the volume on the stereo. So, for what was technically a good night — not even a B- grade — it still felt kinda so-so, didn't it? Who, if anyone, really got you fired up? Vote for your favorite in the polls below.
