Who Will Win 'The Voice'? The Season 27 Semi-Finals Were Pretty Controversial

The competition is fierce this season on The VoiceNow in its 27th season, it makes sense that there have been some shake-ups in the rules in order to mix things up; I mean, you gotta try to keep things fresh after nearly 15 years on the air. So this season, The Voice made a big change by including a “Super Save” rule, which means each of the coaches — Adam Levine, John Legend, Michael Bublé, and Kelsea Ballerini — got to bring back one eliminated contestant for the live semi-finals.

So, the top 8 became the top 12 when the Adam brought back Conor James, John brought back Olivia Cooper-Harris, Michael brought back Kaiya Hamilton, and Kelsea brought back Jaelen Johnston. That group of top 12 singers performed during the season’s first live show on May 12, and then they were whittled all the way down to five. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love some tight competition. But putting seven contestants on the chopping block all at once just seems brutal to me. Nevertheless, that’s how it went down, and fan favorites like Conor James and Bryson Battle got eliminated. Here’s your breakdown of who’s left in the running as a finalist in The Voice season 27.

Going far in The Voice runs in Jaydn’s family, since her dad Bryan Olesen was a finalist in The Voice season 25, and Jaydn even gave a spontaneous performance during his season. When she auditioned for season 27, Jaydn said, “My dad definitely left some big shoes to fill. I’m excited to make him proud and try my best to get anywhere close to where he got in this competition.” According to her bio, her “versatile performances span from Madonna to Dolly Parton,” and she’s been rocking out on Team Bublé.

In 2018, RENZO made it to the top 10 finalists of American Idol, but didn’t make it all the way. This could be his time to win a singing competition, thanks to the powerhouse performances he’s giving on Team Legend.
