The Voice Season 26: Top 5 Compete for the Crown
The Top 5 contestants from Teams Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire are ready to give it their all in a final showdown for The Voice title. The highly anticipated winner will be crowned during the Grand Finale on Tuesday, December 10.
The episode kicks off with a fun pre-recorded segment featuring Snoop Dogg’s friend Martha Stewart, who steps in to help “stage manage” the introduction alongside the coaches. While the comedic moment adds a light touch to the show, some viewers might find it a bit awkward.
Host Carson Daly reminds the audience that all five finalists were exceptional four-chair turns during their auditions. Each artist will perform twice—once with an emotional ballad and once with a high-energy, upbeat number.
