Lucia Flores-Wiseman – Team Adam Levine
Starting with Team Adam Levine, his singer, Lucia Flores-Wiseman, seemed to breeze through the competition. Proving the wide range of talent she possessed, even her audition shook the judges. When taking the stage for the first time, she instantly received support from Levine, who quickly turned his chair around. A member of the original coaches of The Voice, Levine knew he had a star in the making.
Even Legend couldn’t help but see and hear the power behind her voice. He told her after performing “La Llorona”, “Listening to you sing that song, it was like Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse were singing in Spanish, which is like such an interesting combination of things. All of us would love to coach you.”
Jadyn Cree – Team Michael Bublé
Next up was Jadyn Cree from Team Michael Bublé. Winning season 26 of The Voice, Bublé hoped to add to his winning streak and close the gap between Blake Shelton, who won nine seasons. Coaching Cree throughout the season, fans might remember the name given her father, Bryan Olesen, who competed during season 25. He even made it into the finale before placing third.
While exploring her own career in the music industry, Cree looked to not just win for herself but also her family. And when it came to praise, Levine insisted, “There’s nobody like you.”

Adam David – Team Michael Bublé
At the start of the season, Adam David decided to perform “Baby I Love Your Way” during his audition. Although wanting all four coaches to turn around, he found himself with only one, Bublé. While a singer only needed one coach to move forward, David consistently proved his talents with covers of “I Shall Be Released”, “Bring It On Home to Me”, and “Lose Control.”
Speaking with David, Bublé explained, “You have a character voice, you have absolute control. You are perfect. I hope that I will bring you as much joy as you’re going to bring me every single time we work together and I hear you sing.”
Jaelen Johnston – Team Kelsea Ballerini
As for the fourth contestant preparing for the season finale tonight, Jaelen Johnston once found himself out of the competition. Part of Team Kelsea Ballerini, the singer struggled through the Playoffs and ended up being eliminated. But this season, the producers revealed the Super Save, which allowed a coach to bring back a former singer who had been eliminated. For Ballerini, there was no better singer than Johnston.
Performing hits like Tim McGraw’s “If You’re Reading This”, Johnston received high marks from his coach. “I’ve had 10 years of putting out music in that genre, and your voice is unreal. And in range? You’re not just a singer, you’re an artist. I really think that leaning into the songwriter of you is going to be fun, and I want to see where that takes us.”
Renzo – Team John Legend
And rounding out the Top 5 was Team John Legend’s Renzo. Unlike the other contestants who never felt the pressure of performing in front of millions of viewers, Renzo had a little help. Years ago, the singer auditioned for American Idol. Getting a yes from the judges, he cruised through each round, landing in the Top 10 before being eliminated.
Not giving up on his dream of performing, Renzo shocked the coaches when he performed Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man.” Gaining the attention of fans and Legend, even Bublé noticed the stardom within the singer. “I want you to be a global megastar.”
With the stage set, don’t miss the season finale of The Voice, airing tonight and tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
