The Voice Season 26 Playoffs wrapped up this week, with episodes on both Monday and Tuesday. Last week, Gwen Stefani narrowed down her team. This week, the remaining three coaches chose which artists should move on to the live shows.
The Voice Season 26 Playoffs Come to a Close
During Monday’s show, coaches Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg watched performances by the five remaining artists on each of their teams. They were each only able to choose two artists to move on to the live Semifinals.
McEntire was joined by celebrity advisor Lainey Wilson as she prepared her artists for their performances. Team Reba artists Adam Bohanan and Danny Joseph ended up moving on. Adam performed “Think I’m in Love with You” by Chris Stapleton, while Danny sang “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye.
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg was joined by celebrity advisor Simone Biles. Ultimately, he chose to send Christina Eagle and Jeremy Beloate through to the Semifinals. Christina sang a cover of “Fancy” by coach Reba McEntire, while Jeremy performed “The Impossible Dream (The Quest).”
Unfortunately, that means that Team Reba artists Edward Preble, Katie O., and Lauren-Michael Sellers, as well as Team Snoop artists Aliyah Khaylyn, Austyns Stancil, and Mikaela Ayira, were eliminated from the competition.
On Tuesday night’s show, Michael Bublé (whose advisor was Carly Pearce) chose which of his artists would move on in the competition. Those spots ended up going to Shye and Sofronio Vasquez. Shye performed “Story of My Life” by One Direction, while Sofronio sang “Crying” by Roy Orbison.
They’ll join Team Reba and Team Snoop’s artists, as well as Team Gwen’s artists Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace, in the Top 8. They’ll perform live on Monday night’s new episode, which marks the first time this season that fans have been able to vote for their favorite artists to move on.
The results will air on Tuesday night, as host Carson Daly will reveal which five artists were chosen by America’s vote to move on to the Season 26 finale, which will air the following Monday and Tuesday nights on NBC.
