Sydney Sterlace shocked The Voice coaches and viewers alike by revealing her age. The 16-year-old New Yorker joined Gwen Stefani’s team following a dazzling four-chair turn cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” during the Blind Auditions. With fans dubbing her “a mini Kelly Clarkson,” Sterlace continued to dazzle with performances of Lewis Capaldi’s “Bruises” and Taylor Swift’s “betty.” Now, the wise-beyond-her-years teen has reached the Top 8 of season 26, and could very well win it all.

Sydney Sterlace Performance
We’re down to the Top 8 on The Voice. During Monday’s (Dec. 2) episode, each artist performed live in front of the coaches and viewers for the first time. With their fate now entirely in America’s hands, The Voice hopefuls had no choice but to leave it all on the stage.
Having already conquered Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift, Sydney Sterlace set her sights on Billie Eilish next. The teen phenom absolutely nailed Eilish’s melancholy 2018 hit “when the party’s over.”

How To Vote On ‘The Voice’
After a season of impossible decisions, coaches Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani have expressed relief to hand over the reins to America. From this point forward, the Top 8 finalists’ fates are squarely in the hands of The Voice viewers. Here’s how you can make your voice heard.
Voting opens at 8 p.m. Eastern Monday (Dec. 2), running through 7 a.m. Eastern Tuesday (Dec. 3.) Fans can weigh in once per email address per voting method, using either the show’s website or official app.
The four artists with the most votes will automatically advance to the Dec. 9 Live Finale. Additionally, the bottom four will compete for the Instant Save, with the winner also advancing to the Live Finale.
Fans are limited to one vote per email address regardless of login method for the Instant Save. Again, you can cast your vote through either the website or The Voice Official App.
A five-minute voting window will open up during the live episodes. You will vote for the Instant Save during that window.
