The Voice Season 26: The Party is Not Over Til the Top 8 Sing Live for a Spot in the Finale

Team Snoop: Christina Eagle sang Man I Feel Like a Woman by Shania Twain-- I agree Christina is a better entertainer than she is a singer. But that is a big part of the industry today, she always brings such fire and passion to her performances. Reba said the performance was wonderful and she knocked it out of the park. 

Team Gwen: Jan Dan sang Open Arms by Journey-- I feel like this is a little bit of a sleepy song choice for Jan Dan. His past performances have been successful because he has chosen meaningful songs and put some soul into them. Michael complimented his song choice. Gwen said every single note was perfect.  

Team Reba: Adam Bohanan sang What's Going On by Marvin Gaye-- Loved this rendition of the song and how he stayed true to the melody but made it his own. Gwen said you're easy but in control. Snoop said I've watched you grow on this show and I'm proud. Reba said that happiness and joyfulness is infectious. 

Team Gwen: Sydney Sterlace sang When the Party's Over by Billie Eilish-- I love this song. Sydney is just so mature and talented beyond her years. This performance was just stunning, her vocals were flawless and everyone was on their feet. Snoop said Sydney, my God, you just always make me shed a tear. You've grown so much on the show. Michael said you're so settled in yourself, you picked a tough song, you came out here and powered through that and made it yours. Gwen said, I am blown away. You make us all feel something. 

Tean Buble: Shye sang The Joke by Brandi Carlile-- I loved the way Shye interpreted this song. It was emotional and heartfelt. I thought the way she ended the song was so impactful to have just her voice. The coaches were all on their feet. Gwen said with this song I can see what you're going to become. Your voice is so timeless, unique, and identifiable. Reba said your voice stood out from the first time I heard you. You mesmerize me, great performance. Michael said, I have never heard anyone that sounds like you Shye. 

Team Snoop: Jeremy Beloate sang I Who Have Nothing by Tom Jones-- Every performance with Jeremy is big, it's a production, it's epic. It's like we have gone to this blockbuster movie and the lead song from the soundtrack comes on at the end. Snoop just left. LOL. Gwen said, Jeremy, you're just rare. I love it. That was amazing. Snoop said, America, pick up your phone and vote for Jeremy. 

Team Reba: Danny Joseph sang I Was Wrong by Chris Stapleton-- Wow! I loved Danny's performance, there is something so polished and real about him. He needs to make a record, like he has paid his dues and deserves it. Gwen said you're just so cool, you're weird, you play the guitar, I love you. Reba said way to go Danny, I loved what you played on the guitar, your performance was so great, so proud of you.  

Team Buble: Sofronio Vasquez sang If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley-- That was such a genuine and heartfelt performance. The song and the dynamics just grew and grew and grew. Michael just said that he is so proud of Sofronio. 

My top 5 predictions: Sydney, Sofronio, Shye, Jeremy, and Danny 

The Voice Season 26: Team Buble Road to the Playoffs

Team Buble: 

The advisor for Team Buble was Carley Pearce, love her! 

Shye sang Story of my Life by One Direction-- Hmmm I can see the coaches are loving this. I am okay with it. Three out of four coaches on their feet. Reba thought it was incredible. She felt the song came through her eyes. Snoop gave her a ten. Gwen said she found herself before their eyes. Michael said some people just got it and we can't explain it. 

Jaukeem Fortson sang Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson-- I love how much he has grown and the purity of his vocal. Reba liked how he made the song his own and she's proud of him. Snoop said I haven't seen you catch the holy spirit. Michael said you can execute. You filled this whole place up with love. 

Sloane Simon sang Good Luck Babe by Chapell Roan-- Wow! I felt like she really connected to the song. Gwen said it felt like the song was hers and she worked it and was confident. Snoop said your dad is so proud of you, and I am proud of you. Michael said I love you so much and I am so proud of you. He said what a resilient beautiful woman she is. She lost her dad the Sunday before these shows taped. I cannot imagine the inner strength she had to have to do that performance. 

Cameron Wright sang Exhale Shoop Shoop by Whitney Houston-- Cameron gave such an inspired and spiritual performance. I loved the personal touches he put on the song. Michael said I have nothing but love, reverence, and respect for you. You are at such peace, there was such a sense of self control. 

Sofronio Vasquez sang Crying by Roy Orbison-- Oh my goodness, the performance was everything I expected and more. Snoop said it felt like I was watching the end of some big movie. He said magnifico. Gwen said it kept building to a place that I did not think was possible. Reba said too tackle that song took guts. Michael said I love being part of your evolution. He said, I knew we were meant to be together from the beginning. Snoop said Michael has the strongest team. I think Snoop and Michael ultimately did have the strongest teams. 

I have no idea who Michael is going to choose. 

For me, I am going with Sofronio and Cameron or Sloane. 

Michael chose Sofronio and Shye. 

The Voice Season 26-- Team Reba and Team Snoop: The Road to the Playoffs

Michael said he wants to drink whiskey with him. Snoop likes how he has no fear. Reba believes he is someone who will get better and better.

Reba said have you had a good time doing The Voice? You're fun, you're a breath of fresh air.

Snoop said, proud of you nephew, I know it's your voice when you sing that, you can make records. 

Team Reba: Lauren Michael Sellers sang I Am Not Okay-- I thought this was a great song for Lauren, I did not like it as much as some of her other performances, and it seems as though Reba is set on moving her to the live shows. Snoop said you just keep growing, you've become a real superstar. Gwen said it felt like you wrote this song and this was your story. Reba said you deliver a message so well. You're a treasure. 

Team Snoop: Mikaela Ayira sang Love by Keyshia Cole-- Wow! She is amazing! I cannot even believe her voice at her age. That performance was just flawless and inspired. Reba said that was gorgeous. Gwen said Snoop helped you find your lane, you really shined tonight. Michael said to watch your growth, you were perfect.  Snoop said you need to be making real records.

Reba chose Adam and Danny to move forward. 

I think I would have picked Edward and Danny, but I do like Adam. 

Snoop chose Jeremy and Christina to move forward. 

I would have chose Jeremy and either Austyns, Aliyah, or Mikaela. I just honestly did not think it was Christina's night. I am a huge fan of hers too. 

Team Gwen: Road to the Playoffs

Machine Gun Kelly (MJK, as he is now known) is the advisor for Team Gwen. 

Team Gwen: 

Jose Luis sang No More Drama by Mary J Blige-- Jose was jamming with this song. That was soulful and raw. The coaches were all on their feet. Snoop said you made a Mary J. Blige song your song, I would push to get you to the final two. Reba said your vocals were absolutely incredible, I know people who have been in this business a long time who are not as charismatic as you. 

Jake Tankersley sang The Painter by Cody Johnson-- Snoop said I'm a proud uncle. I don't see how Gwen could send you home. Reba loved his range on the song. I agree that it was so heartfelt. Gwen said you brought out the emotion and took my notes. I agree with Reba, he is authentic and sounds so country, the whole package.

Gabrielle Zabosky sang Listen to Your Heart by Roxette-- Michael said you've grown exponentially. Snoop enjoyed her dynamics. Gwen said you've grown so much and I am so proud of you. I agree with Reba, there were times where she looked panicked but then she would find herself. She sounded beautiful though. 

Jan Dan sang Dust in the Wind by Kansas-- I think so far Jan Dan and Jose are my faves of the night. I love his voice and his song choices have been so spot on. He is someone who knows who he is as an artist. Gorgeous performance. Reba said I love the way you vocalize. Michael said with all these genres, what else do you have up your sleeve. Snoop loved how he put his spin on it. Gwen said you're just so cool. 

Sydney Sterlace sang Betty by Taylor Swift-- Sydney has unreal intuition and musicality as an artist. Michael said I'm blown away by your voice. Reba said I love your range. Snoop said you've always been a favorite of mine. I'm going to come watch you at your shows. Gwen said she can bring it under the pressure.  

Gwen chose Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace to move forward. Everyone on Gwen's team was good, I feel like she could not have gone wrong with any of them, but I like who she chose, and I think I agree with her decision. I am a little sad to see Jose Luis go.

I am honored to have been your coach, you have affected me for the rest of my life. Snoop chose Mikaela. ChrisDeo was crying as she thanked Snoop for giving her confidence that she never had before.

Team Snoop: 

Austyns Stancil sang Dance with my Father Again by Luther Vandross-- Heartfelt, real, and raw, Austyns felt every note and lyric. This was truly beautiful. 

Christina Eagle sang My Church by Maren Morris-- She is just a spirited performer. I feel like she goes up on stage and leaves it all up there each time.

I loved them all and I do not think I could choose. Reba said Austyns was spirit filled. She liked how Christina had fun and filled the stage. She loved Jake's big, round voice.

Michael said Deon I could not stop watching you, Jose I would have to choose you, that voice cements you. Snoop said Jose, when you have the mic in your hand you turn into another person. The light is on you and you step right into it. Reba said, Deon you're the ultimate show dog. Gwen said Camryn you've come far. Deon to be able to sing, dance, and control the room is rare.
