Last week saw the final round of the Playoffs, where coaches Michal Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani had to make some difficult decisions. Their choices would move some contestants forward to the Live Semi-Finals, but send others home. Finally, they made their decisions, and the Top 8 were revealed.
For Team Bublé, he has Shye and Sofronio Vasquez representing him in the Live Semi-Finals. During the previous episodes, Sloane Simon, Jaukeem Fortson, and Cameron Wright were eliminated. This is Bublé’s first season of The Voice, and he’s hoping to come out on top for a memorable debut. Are either of his contestants strong enough to carry the team across the finish line?
On Team Gwen, she picked Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace to move forward. She eliminated Jose Luis, Gabrielle Zabosky, and Jake Tankersley from her team. To mark her triumphant return to and subsequent exit from The Voice, can Stefani close out her tenure with a win?

Top 8 The Voice Contestants Revealed as the Show Moves Into Live Semi-Final Performances
Team Reba is currently the reigning champion of The Voice coaches, having won last season with Asher HaVon, who recently dedicated a new song to her. However, could she sweep the competition once again this season? Team Reba has moved forward with Danny Joseph and Adam Bohanon, whose raspy vocals she’s continually praised. Previously, she eliminated Edward Preble, Katie O, and Lauren-Michael Sellers.
Finally, Snoop Dogg is raring to go with his team, looking to win it all in his The Voice coaching debut. He’s working with Jeremy Beloate and Christina Eagle for the Live Semi-Finals. But that meant he had to eliminate Austyns Stancil, Mikaela Ayira, and Aliyah Khaylyn. Snoop has been open about his emotional journey when it comes to coaching The Voice, occasionally being brought to tears by his amazing contestants.
All four coaches have a stake in the competition this season. Will Reba McEntire take another season win, or will Gwen Stefani close out her time on The Voice with triumph? What about the new guys, will either of them prove their good musical instincts with their picks for the Live Semi-Finals? Fans will have to wait a few more weeks to find out, but the competition is definitely fierce this season.
