The decisions will only become tougher and tougher for the coaches and, eventually, voters at home.
Lets take a look at the first group of contestants to make it to the playoffs.
Instead of authenticity and attitude, all thats on display here is effort.

Sure, shes still not a perfect singer, but she has come a long way already.
Shes got a voice thats both familiar and completely new at the same exact time.
As Adam himself puts it, her voice makes [you] feel like everythings going to be okay.
At the same time, Dennis Drummond isnt exactly a failure tonight.
But as she gets further into those sullen notes, its completely intoxicating.
That said, Janice Freeman is a force.
Shes sultry, shes confident, shes a blast.
But boy was I wrong.
By contrast, Davon Flemings rendition of I Can Only Imagine is both technically and emotionally powerful.
Like Blake Shelton says, he transform[s] the room.
Ashland transitions effortlessly from growls all the way to yodel yells and back again without pause.
Its easy to see why Blake SheltonandJennifer Hudson line up to steal her from second place.
I honestly didnt know she had this in her.
Well played, Chloe.
