Recap The Voice: Season 15, Episode 17

Tonight The voice, we have the Top 13 – the eight saved by America, the four saved by the coaches and the saved by The stage of the return – looking for a chance in the Top 11. Let's see what all the singers did during tonight's concert tour.

Blake Team: Chris Kroeze
"Let it be" of the Beatles
Dedicated to: his hometown of Barron, OH

Have we talked about the fact that Chris Kroeze still looks like Richard Marx? Because he's doing it. So much of. His voice is a mixture of sweetness and gravel, which obviously aroused the interest of the public who voted it all last week. Tonight, Chris ventures out of the country zone again for this soul that pleases. It's a good choice in theory, but I would have liked him to keep this number a week later, when he may have enough time to keep his initial pace and not speed it up as much. Unless it is an intentional rearrangement, in which case … [Imagine the “Not great, Bob!” GIF here].

Team Adam: Tyke James
"(All I do), I do it for you" by Bryan Adams
Dedicated to: his mother Mel

This guy. In the rehearsal sequences, it sounds like an imminent disaster because it sounds bad for this song, but the coach Adam Levine gave him some great advice to play this one with a simple Hawaiian style, and yes, that's unbelievable. It's a bit like how Iz Kamakawiwo'ole managed to revolutionize "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" after so many people literally went there just calling him, a ukulele and a happy disposition. Tyke, too, has all these elements on the bill tonight and offers remarkable performances. This is exactly the kind of rendition that will bypass the iTunes downloads it needs, because those who do not want to hear such an original and thoughtful version of a song like this. If played well. I want to hear it again and again. It's better not to be on the block tomorrow or else [waves fist feistily].

Team Adam: DeAndre Nico
"I can only imagine" by MercyMe
Dedicated to: his girlfriend Crystal

DeAndre Nico sneaks a bit, is not it? It's not a talent for him to say that I did not expect it in the Top 13, but now that he's doing it, it makes a lot of sense. He has a lot of heart and a serious delivery style that allows to easily forget the defects that could exist in his execution. He takes this modern church ballad and dedicates it to his girlfriend while she regrets the loss of their unborn child and phew. Yeah. Feel abound. He seems to struggle with the ceiling of his voice, which he should work on later.

Kelly Team: Kymberli Joye
"Diamonds" by Rihanna
Dedicated to: his sister

Kimberli Joye has already shown us many times that she can scream these decisive notes as a matter of people, but since she was at risk of being sent home last week, she is trying something new this time. Instead of using her invaluable vocal force, she reminds us a little to allow us to hear something softer. It is certainly effective to start off modestly and follow its usual pace, although I wish this arrangement was a little slower.

Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes
"The wind under my wings" by Bette Midler
Dedicated to: his parents

Okay, this song is not even right because it's a heart so hard that if someone in a book even a half-passable version, he continues on his way. So, when Kennedy Holmes sings it so well, oh my god. I like the fact that she plays the game with so much security and that she initially sets out to provide clear notes, but the power of the lyrics goes deeper, she begins to fit in more and, when powerful notes come into play, she really sells it. Hoo boy, now I have to go rewatch Beaches again.

Team Jennifer: Sandyredd
"It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday" by Boyz II Men
Dedicated to: his late mother

At this point, you like Sandyredd or you do not like it. She is very consistent from week to week with who she is and what she will look like. Tonight, she is particularly moved because this song reminds her of her late mother, but it's not much different from anything we've heard before. His low, moaning notes are still incredible, and his screaming song lifts the roof again. She clearly gave us everything she had every week, so if the band has not been developed for her yet, I'm not sure it will change anyone's mind.
