⁠The Voice Season 27 recap: The playoffs continue with Bublé and Legend's teams 

The latest episode of The Voice brought heightened drama as the playoff rounds continued with Team Michael Bublé and Team John Legend taking center stage. The April 28 episode of The Voice ended with a major twist, and fans didn’t have to wait long for the big reveal: each coach now has the power to bring back one eliminated artist using a brand-new “Super Save.”

That means John Legend, Adam Levine, Michael Bublé, and Kelsea Ballerini will each choose a comeback contestant ahead of the Live Shows, adding a surprise shakeup to an already intense season.

While that announcement had everyone buzzing, Monday night’s episode stayed focused on the high-stakes Playoffs. With only two spots available per team for the Semi-Finals, the coaches had to make some brutal cuts.

The artists pulled out all the stops, delivering everything from bold takes on timeless classics to standout renditions of current hits. The emotional performances and tough choices reminded everyone just how stacked this season’s talent really is.

What happened in this episode of The Voice Playoffs?

Michael Bublé's team delivered an eclectic mix of performances in this episode of The Voice that showcased each artist's distinctive style. Kaiya Hamilton took a bold risk with Sting's "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free," transforming it into what coach Kelsea Ballerini described as a performance where Kaiya "ate and left no crumbs." Despite this powerful showing, Kaiya didn't advance.

Angie Rey tackled LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live," though the rendition fell short of capturing the original's emotional power. Jadyn Cree brought '80s nostalgia with a quirky take on "99 Red Balloons," demonstrating why she excels fronting her '80s cover band. Her performance earned praise from John Legend, who noted:

"You were in your zone."

Barry Jean Fontenot delivered Stephen Sanchez's "Until I Found You" with sincerity, though it didn't quite reach exceptional heights. The standout performer proved to be Adam David, whose rendition of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" evoked Father John Misty comparisons while showcasing his commanding stage presence and powerful vocals.

After deliberation, Bublé advanced Adam David and Jadyn Cree to The Voice Semi-Finals, eliminating Kaiya, Angie, and Barry from the competition, at least until next week's potential "Super Save."

John Legend's team featured equally impressive performances with similarly difficult elimination decisions. Bryson Battle took on Ariana Grande's "pov," starting subtly before unleashing impressive belting that reminded viewers why he's a serious contender.

BD.ii's performance of K-Ci and JoJo's "All My Life" lacked energy despite his appealing tone. Olivia Kuper Harris delivered a stunning, pitch-perfect rendition of Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For," prompting Legend to marvel that:

"Every note had intention and beauty and musicality."

Ari Camille brought sultry vibes to SWV's "Rain," with Legend complimenting her stylish approach to every note. Renzo closed the show with a star-making performance of Hozier's "Too Sweet," bringing rock-god energy that prompted his coach to declare:

"It just feels like you're already a star."

When the dust settled, Legend selected Renzo and Bryson Battle to continue to The Voice Semi-Finals, sending home BD.ii, Olivia, and Ari.

What to expect from next week’s episode of The Voice?

With the Voice playoffs now complete, attention turns to the upcoming "Super Save" twist, where each coach will resurrect one eliminated artist. This game-changing development creates new possibilities for contestants who thought their journey had ended.

The night's eliminations proved especially shocking given the quality of some rejected performances. Particularly notable was Kaiya Hamilton's dismissal from Team Bublé and Olivia Kuper Harris's elimination from Team Legend, both having delivered A-grade performances according to many viewers.

As The Voice moves toward the Live shows, the competition only intensifies. With just four contestants officially advancing from the night's performances, plus four more potential comebacks looming, Season 27 continues to deliver unexpected twists and memorable musical moments.
