Monday will mark dedications week on The Voice, with the Top 13 each dedicating their performance to someone special.
Perhaps more importantly, it’s a double elimination week.
That means 10 singers will automatically advance to the Top 11 based on overnight fan voting.
The bottom finishers in the voting will compete for an instant save at the end of Tuesday’s results show.
And here’s how I’m ranking the Top 13 for Season 17.
1. Katie Kadan (Team John): She’s a professional musician, and it shows. And if she can emote the way she did Monday and deliver stellar vocals, she’s going to be tough to beat.
2. Jake Hoot (Team Kelly): Somehow, Jake winds up the only country singer in the Season 17 Top 13. And he’s shown he’s better than Monday’s cover of a Reba McEntire song.
3. Rose Short (Team Gwen): After years of watching more mature R&B singers being underappreciated on The Voice, I was beyond thrilled to see Rose and her booming vocals voted into the Top 13.
4. Max Boyle (Team Kelly): He’s showing a great knack for song selection. “Falling Slowly” wasn’t quite as good as his Billie Eilish cover, but the fact that he was voted into the Top 13 shows he’s resonating with fans.
5. Ricky Duran (Team Blake): A four-chair turn, he’s been solid every time out. But it will take more inspired song choices than “Small Town” for the Team Blake favorite to make the finals.
6. Marybeth Byrd (Team John): Marybeth’s going to have trouble matching Katie and Rose glory note for glory note. But she’s so special when she sings softly and with emotion. She should play to that strength.
7. Joana Martinez (Team Gwen): I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: With her charisma, on-stage fearlessness and big vocals, Joana reminds me of Jacquie Lee, who turned those talents into a runner-up finish in Season 5.
8. Kat Hammock (Team Blake): I had to chuckle a bit when Blake used the word “deadly” to describe Kat’s potential impact on Season 17. Enchanting would be a better description for her truly unique vocals.
9. Cali Wilson (Team Blake): She’s the most country of the remaining Team Blake performers, so I’m wondering if her songs choices will lean more in that direction. She was special on “Wicked Game” in the knockouts.
10. Shane Q (Team Kelly): He doesn’t consider himself a country singer, but he’s done surprisingly well when he goes country, including in the blinds and knockouts. Will he do it again on Top 13 night?
11. Will Breman (Team John): He flipped a Taylor Swift song in the live playoffs. It didn’t work for me, but he received rave reviews for the performance. And John’s save.
12. Myracle Holloway (Team Gwen): She’s the singer with the wonderful ache in her voice. She lands here mostly because we haven’t heard that ache for a long time, partly because her knockout was montaged.
13. Hello Sunday (Team Kelly): Chelsea and Myla, 14, might be the most improved of the Top 13. But they’re still plagued by inconsistency, demonstrated again last week when their save performance was much better than their Monday night performance.
