The Voice Recap: Top 10 Hang Tough, But Who"s in Danger?

The Voice top 10 performers laid it all on the line once again Monday night, and the stakes are high, especially after the last two weeks.


Obviously, every week matters when you’re facing elimination, but after The Voice results last Tuesday, it’s clear that no one is safe.



It’s time to run down all of the performances from the episode. 


Jesse Larson


Jesse Larson’s latest performance was a cut above last week’s and boy; it was needed. Singing “Jungle Love” by The time, he made me realize just how much he deserved to be in the competition. 


He made the song his own and turned in a rock-solid performance. What more could I ask for?


Aliyah Moulden


Aliyah went with “Jealous” by Labyrinth, and it proved that she had the vocal range to make even a quieter song sound awesome. 


All season long, she’s been singing anything that she can shout at, but this showed a completely different side to her. 



Vanessa Ferguson


Vanessa opted to sing “Doo Wop” by Lauryn Hill, and it was a return to form for the star. There is absolutely nothing negative I could say about this number. 


Mark Isaiah


There was something very off about Mark’s performance tonight. He went with “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles, and it was just not all that. 


The song is not a good one, and the performance suffered. I’m all for people trying to break out of their vocal range, but this was a resounding dud.


Chris Blue


“24K Magic” by Bruno Mars is a great song, and Chris is an excellent sing, so what could go wrong? A lot. Here’s the thing: Chris has a knack for hitting all the notes, but adding in a high-octane dance number meant his voice struggled. 


Whether this will signal the end of his time in the competition is another story, but something tells me he may have screwed up. 



Lilli Passero


Lilli went with “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole, and it was a doozy. I’ve been critical of Lilli in the past, but she’s managed to find her groove and is not straying away from that. 


More performances like this and I could Lilli on the season finale. 


Lauren Duski


The country singer went with “Tell Me Why” by Wynonna Judd, and it was pretty amazing. She effortlessly hit all the notes and kept the audience intrigued. 


Hunter Plake


Hunter went with “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood, and it was meh. It was such a shame because he’s been one of the ones to watch, but he’s tailed off over the past few weeks. 


He needs to get it back together right about now because two people are leaving the process. Maybe he never got the memo. 



TSoul


This competitor went with “At this Moment” by Billy Vera. It was great, with several portions that sounded amazing. He knows his style, and he sticks to it. 


Brennley Brown


Brennley has been a frontrunner since the start of the season. Singing “Anyway” by Martina McBride definitely kept that going. 


She will be in the final 8. 


Who do you think should get the chop?
