Will the winner of ‘The Voice’ 2024 be Danny Joseph, Jeremy Beloate, Shye, Sofronio Vasquez or Sydney Sterlace? Here is our prediction for who wins.

Now that the Top 5 finalists on The Voice Season 26 have been revealed, it still is anyone’s guess as to who will walk away with the title. Will it be Danny Joseph, Jeremy Beloate, Shye, Sofronio Vasquez or Sydney Sterlace? That said, here’s our prediction.

It was an interesting year on The Voice 2024 with coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani and Michael Bublé having more say in who made it to the semifinals than in past seasons, where America made the decision. Who the coaches selected for the Top 8 had some surprises in it, like Snoop picking Christina Eagle over Aliyah Khaylyn and Reba selecting Adam Bohanan over Lauren-Michael Sellers, especially since neither of those artists made the Top 5, but it is what it is and the important thing is at the end the right voices did make the Top 5.

This year, America only gets to vote twice: for the Top 5 and then the winner. The only surprise in the Top 5 for me was Danny Joseph. The Brit who now resides in Texas is an excellent performer but not the most memorable voice in the Top 5, so he can be considered the longshot. Truth be told, after the Instant Save performances, I would have predicted Christina to make the cut, rather than Danny.

But the rest of the Top 5 were definitely the correct choices. My vote would be for Jeremy Beloate to win The Voice. He won me—and Tom Jones (see Instagram post below)—over with his performance in the Playoffs of The Impossible Dream, but the very fact that that is a Broadway song will work against him. For the Top 8, the first live shows, he sang “I (Who Have Nothing)” by Tom Jones, and it was a credible performance but not the best song of the night.

That went to Sofronio Vasquez, who demonstrated that he is the voice to beat this season with his Top 8 performance of “If I Can Dream” by Elvis Presley, which closed the show. The Voice producers watch the dress rehearsals and when they see a knockout performance, they either open the show with it or close it, so Sofronio’s closing the live shows was a vote of confidence from the producers and Coach Michael told him he caught “the brass ring.”

Sofronio’s Team Bublé teammate is a close second. Michael did make all the right choices when it came to his final two artists, and Shye’s performance of “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile demonstrated the uniqueness of her voice. It will all come down to song selection for the finale performances next Tuesday.

That leaves Sydney, who is the youngest artist in the competition at 16—she had her birthday on the show, which can work for her in getting votes, but against her in lack of experience.

Who will win The Voice in 2024?

My prediction is that Sofronio will win The Voice 2024. Not only does he have the voice to back it up, but his personal story is appealing as well, moving to the U.S. from the Philippines to study dentistry but getting waylaid for now by landing a spot on The Voice.

The Voice finale performance will air on Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC with the results revealed on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
