Monday night’s episode featured live performances from the Top 8 contestants of Season 26. The participants included Adam Bohanan and Danny Joseph from Reba McEntire’s team, Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace from Gwen Stefani’s lineup, Christina Eagle and Jeremy Beloate representing Snoop Dogg, and Shye and Sofronio Vasquez from Michael Bublé’s team.

Despite the drama, many fans were less than thrilled with how the results unfolded. Disappointment rippled through the audience, with some viewers expressing outright discontent over the outcomes.

One viewer expressed their disappointment, “Why, they sent the best ones home already. Haven’t watched for 4 weeks [sic].” Another vented their frustration, “I’m DONE with ‘The Voice.’ All of you let the people who can sing GO because you want to win. That’s SO wrong!”

Others were more direct, with one commenting, “Shame on the judges,” and another adding, “Show really is disappointing this season…talent just isn’t there.”

Despite the criticism, other fans sang a completely different tune, celebrating what they felt was a standout season. “Best season ever!!” one enthusiastic viewer wrote.

The coaches also had their share of admirers, with a fan calling them, “The best judges ever! I love Snoop, Reba, Gwen and Michael!” Another fan added a positive note, saying, “Great season, Great fun coaches and excellent talent. Well done.”

Reba set the tone for the evening, opening the show with her hit single “Consider Her Gone.” Host Carson Daly then gathered the contestants on stage to begin the results.

Team Bublé’s Sofronio was the first finalist announced, followed by a performance from Gwen, who sang her latest single “Somebody Else’s” from her upcoming album “Bouquet.”

The results continued, with Sydney from Team Gwen and Jeremy from Team Snoop earning spots in the finale. After another musical interlude featuring October London’s soulful “3rd Shift,” Carson revealed that Team Bublé’s Shye claimed the fourth spot in the finale.

This left Adam, Christina, Danny, and Jan to fight for the last slot in the Instant Save round. Christina kicked things off with a stirring rendition of “Heart Like a Truck,” prompting Snoop to remind America of the show’s country roots and vote for her. “Let’s keep it real. This show was built on that,” the rapper said.

Adam followed with “Pretty Wings,” earning high praise from Reba, “Your vocals were incredible; your range was incredible.” Jan’s emotional performance of “Gravity” moved Gwen, who called it “spiritual, incredible, and mind-blowing.”

After a nail-biting commercial break and a final round of voting, Carson announced the winner of the Instant Save: Danny. He joined Sofronio, Sydney, Jeremy, and Shye in securing a place in the finale. As the finalists gear up for their last performances, fans are left eager to see who will take home the crown.

Meanwhile, fans can already look ahead to “The Voice” season 27, set to premiere on February 3, 2025. The upcoming season promises a fresh dynamic, with new and returning coaches stepping into the iconic red chairs.

“The Voice” season 26 coaches have certainly ignited reactions among viewers when it comes to their elimination choices. A week ago, five members of Team Reba faced off in the latest playoff round, but only two advanced to the live shows.

Fans shared mixed reactions to Reba’s elimination decisions during the playoffs, expressing everything from deep disappointment to empathetic understanding.

Katie O teamed up with “Yellowstone” star Lainey Wilson for a duet of her song “Hang Tight Honey.” Meanwhile, Lauren-Michael delivered a heartwarming take on Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay,” and Danny turned Marvin Gaye’s classic “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” into a high-energy rock cover.

Another fan added, “There wasn’t a wrong decision, all 5 incredible in their own ways,” while one cheered for the team, “Such a hard choice! Go Team Reba!!”

They posted Lainey’s picture with a caption that read, “Just country icons helping country icons. 🤠🤠 Lainey Wilson is a Playoff Advisor for Team Reba TN 8/7c on @nbc and streaming on @peacock. #TheVoice.”
