The Top 5 artists representing Teams Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire are set to compete for your votes and a chance to win The Voice. The winner will be revealed during the Grand Finale on Tuesday (12/10).
The show opens with a pre-recorded clip featuring Snoop Dogg’s friend Martha Stewart “stage managing” the introduction alongside the coaches, resulting in a moment some viewers may find slightly awkward.
Host Carson Daly highlights that all Top 5 contestants were four-chair turns during their auditions. Each artist will perform twice—once with a ballad and once with an uptempo song.
Performances
Sofronio Vasquez (Team Bublé) – “Unstoppable” by Sia
Carson previews Sofronio’s journey, revealing he auditioned in a previous season without turning a chair. The singer, now a contender for the title, shares an emotional goal of supporting his family in the Philippines. Coach Michael Bublé acknowledges the risk of the song choice but highlights its potential to showcase Sofronio’s soulful side.
Sofronio’s performances stand out for their blend of dramatic vocal power and carefully crafted nuances, delivering a dynamic and confident stage presence. Reba McEntire calls him “unstoppable,” and Michael praises his ability to transform on stage, likening him to Superman.
Danny Joseph (Team Reba) – “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” by Luke Combs
Danny reflects on his battle with Crohn’s disease and how music has been a source of strength. Reba describes him as a “showman” with a signature swampy sound, which shines through in his performance.
With a gritty, blues-inspired vocal style, Danny integrates seamlessly with the house band, delivering a passionate performance. Gwen Stefani highlights his versatility, while Reba expresses pride and urges America to vote for him.
Jeremy Beloate (Team Snoop) – “What the World Needs Now is Love” by Jackie DeShannon

Snoop Dogg, visibly moved, praises Jeremy’s artistry and hints at his Broadway potential. Gwen Stefani applauds the emotional power of his performance.
Shye (Team Bublé) – “What if God Was One of Us” by Joan Osbourne
Shye’s letter to “music” reveals her connection to storytelling through song. Performing a 90s classic, she embraces the emotional depth of the track, which aligns with her artistic style.
Reba advises Shye to ignore negativity and focus on her unique talent, while Michael humorously notes that even the mic stand seemed intimidated by her presence.
Sydney Sterlace (Team Gwen) – “I Miss You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams
Sydney’s letter to music and her interactions with her younger sisters add a personal touch to her performance. Tackling a contemporary singer-songwriter track, Sydney shows potential despite some vocal shakiness.
