'The Voice' season 15: Our top 5 picks from the live performances

On Tuesday, the top 13 contestants will be announced, which will include one contestant from Kelsea Ballerini's Comeback Stage'

After weeks of pre-recorded episodes, the live shows of 'The Voice' finally commenced on Monday. All 24 contestants who advanced from the Knockouts performed and did their best to get as many votes as possible. On Tuesday, the Top 13 contestants will be announced, which includes one from Kelsea Ballerini's 'Comeback Stage'. 

With over half contestants on the verge of being eliminated, the rest will advance to the next round. After a close look at all the performances from the Live Playoffs on Monday, here are the top five performers of the day who have the highest chance of advancing to the next round and being frontrunners among the rest in the show. 

KENNEDY HOLMES

There is no doubt that Kennedy Holmes will be on this list. Though she is one among the youngest contestants in the competition, she is definitely one to look out for this season. With the highest chance of winning, she performed her version of 'Halo' by Beyonce. All the pressure she seems to be under after being compared to the likes of Whitney Houston does not seem to affect her at all. She took to the stage looking calm as ever. She radiated so much confidence and vocal strength with high pitches, phrasing, and control, she brought the judges to their feet. She was the last performer and she definitely ended the Live Playoffs with a bang.
