Katie Kadan is a force to be reckoned with and fans claim the monster ballad she performed on Monday night's Top 11 Playoffs was phenomenal and she deserves to win. 

'The Voice' season 17 returned on Monday night for the live Top 11 Playoffs and this week, the songs were picked by fans. The first contestant to perform was Katie from John Legend's team. Katie chose Harry Nilsson's classic song 'Without You'. 

Dressed in a silver gown, Katie delivered a stunning rendition of the song. Her emotional ballad had the perfect balance of everything, it complimented her husky range and the rasp in her tone made it easier for her to hit the low and high notes. Keeping to the original melody she also added her flavor to the song.
