Now, it’s truly anyone’s game on The Voice.
Coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Gwen Stefani all have contestants in next week’s big finale. But it almost didn’t happen that way.

‘The Voice’ season 26 coaches Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Michael Bublé
Tuesday’s show saw the show’s top eight competitors — two members from each team — cut in half. Team Gwen’s Sydney Sterlace, Team Snoop’s Jeremy Beloate, and both members of Team Bublé, Sofronio Vasquez and Shye, were the top four vote-getters after Monday’s episode. Things were not looking good for Team Reba.
Joseph pulled out the win over Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan, who sang Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings”; Team Snoop’s Christina Eagle, who performed the twangy “Heart Like a Truck” by Lainey Wilson; and new dad Jan Dan’s soulful cover of John Mayer’s “Gravity.” Stefani adored him all season, and after his final song up there, she said, “America, what are we doing?”
Before Joseph was named the saved contestant, he and McEntire said their goodbyes.
He thanked her for giving him confidence again, after he had a major surgery early this year.
“You know what?” McEntire replied. “God got you in shape to come do this for us, because the world would have been so deprived without you being up on this stage, so we can all listen to you sing and watch you perform, because you are totally different from anybody else on this competition this season. And I’m very proud that you’ve been on my team. I love you to pieces.”
While McEntire almost went without a contestant in the finals this season, she was the winner of season 25. Her contestant Asher HaVon, the show’s first openly LGBTQ contestant, was her first victor.On Monday, the “Fancy” singer and her costars will watch as the five finalists sing another tune, which America will then vote on. The winner of the entire season — and a recording contract — will be announced on the finale, which airs Tuesday, Dec. 10 on NBC.
