On December 2, The Voice kicked off the first night of the Season 26 live rounds, and Shye made a huge impression with a Brandi Carlile classic.
The 17-year-old, who is with Team Bublé, sang The Joke for her Top 8 performance. And while fans will ultimately decide if she moves to the next round, the coaches were dazzled by her vocals. If it were up to them, she’d easily continue with the competition.
After effortlessly hitting each and every note in the song, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, and Michael Bublé immediately gushed over her talent.
Michael Buble’ Added Shye To A List Of Musical Legends
Reba admitted that Shye “mesmerized” her with the beautiful performance. Gwen said she could already see the teen’s first record release. Then Shye’s own coach compared her to music’s most legendary stars.
“Barbra [Streisand], Adele, Celine [Dion], Shye,” cheered Michael Buble’. “No pressure, girlfriend. I never hear anybody in any competition that sounds like you.”
Shye joined Jan Dan, Sydney Sterlace, Danny Joseph, Jeremy Beloate, Sofronio Vasquez, Adam Bohanan, and Christina Eagle for The Voice Final 8 competition. Tomorrow (Dec 3), the singers will learn if they’ll advance to the Final 5.
Fans will choose the first four to move to the next round. The remaining four will then compete for the Instant Save, meaning they’ll each perform a new song, and voters will choose their favorite using The Voice Official App. The top five will perform during next week’s live shows, and the winner will be named on December 10th.
