The pre-taped playoff performances for Team Michael aired Monday night on The Voice.

Kaiya Hamilton, 26, Greenville, N.C.
Blind audition: Turned 2 chairs singing “ICU” by CoCo Jones
Battle round: Performed “Cry to Me” with Barry Jean Fontenot. Won the match; Barry was saved by Michael
Knockout round: Performed “Here” by Allesia Cara to win her match with Divghn.
The playoffs: “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” by Sting — Dang, look at Kaiya stepping on stage and delivering the rasp and the sass. Love the energy, love the attitude. Fun performance and nice stage presence from Kaiya. That was probably her best performance yet. Well done. Grade: B+
Blind audition: Turned just Kelsea Ballerini’s chair singing her song “Penthouse.”
Battle Round: Performed “Girl” by Maren Morris, winning her duet with Tatum Scott
Knockout Round: Performed “Dirt Cheap” by Cody Johnson. Lost the match, but was stolen by Michael Buble.
The playoffs: “How Do I Live Without You” by Trisha Yearwood — Didn’t like this song choice for Angie. She’s got a really pretty voice, but this song called for lots of belting, and I’m not sure that’s her forte. I doubt Michael will advance her, so do yourself a favor and check out her original music. She has a number of singles out, including two since The Voice Season 27 premiere. Grade: C+
Blind audition: Turned 2 chairs in the blinds, singing “Still Into You” by Paramore
Battle round: Performed “Danny’s Song” by Loggins and Messina with Braxton Garza and won the match
Knockout round: Performed “Keep Holding On” by Avril Lavigne, winning her match with Kameron Jaso.
The playoffs: “99 Red Balloons” by Nena — Okay, here’s a unique song choice. And Jadyn is sounding very good on this opening. Okay, forget just the opening. She’s doing a great job with this song. Watch out, folks. Jadyn turned in her best performance in the knockouts, and she’s topping it again tonight. The big note, the ending, it all worked. Looks like there might be another Olesen family member in the finals of The Voice in a couple of weeks. Grade: A
Barry Jean Fontenot, 31, Bentonville, Ark.
Blind audition: He performed “I Wish It Would Rain” by the Temptations, turning Michael’s chair.
Battle round: Performed “Cry to Me” with Kaiya Hamilton. Kaiya was declared the winner, but Michael then saved Barry
Knockout round: Performed “Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Buble, winning his match with Simone Marijic
The playoffs: “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez — Open your eyes, Barry. Let us connect with what you’re singing. He’s delivering a nice soulful vocal. Solid vocal too, with Barry showing off his range on that ending. Grade: B
Adam David, 34, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Blind audition: Turned 1 chair singing “Baby, I Love Your Way” by Peter Frampton
Battle round: Performed Michael Buble’s “Homee” with Ricardo Moreno and won the match.
Knockout round: Performed “Unaware” by Allen Stone, winning a match with Carlos Santiago
The playoffs: “I Shall Be Released” by Bob Dylan — A nice soulful and heartfelt performance from Adam. He took it up another notch when he stopped playing guitar and stepped to the front of the stage. As much as I liked Kaiya’s performance, he might be a wiser choice to advance because of there isn’t another male singer-songwriter type in the semis. Grade: B+
Decision time for Michael Buble. He decides to advance Jadyn and Adam. Wise moves from a coach who hasn’t always picked wisely in Season 27.
