'The Voice' Season 29 finalists revealed as five favorites are eliminated in lead-up to the finale
The race to the finish line on ‘The Voice’ Season 29 just got even more intense. The April 13 episode featured the semi-final, which saw the Top 9 compete one last time to secure a place in the finale. Artists across teams led by Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend took the stage, and while each coach guided their singers throughout the competition, when it came down to deciding who moves forward, their hands were tied. At this stage, it all came down to the audience. And this season decided to shake things up a bit.
Unlike earlier editions, where fans at home would vote during live broadcasts, this time the decision-making power was in the hands of the live audience in the studio. Even more interesting, the voters weren’t just casual viewers. The group included superfans and contestants from past seasons. Throughout the night, the contestants gave it everything they had. Still, not everyone could move forward. By the end of the episode, five singers had to say goodbye to the competition. Jared Shoemaker, Jeremy Keith, JW Griffin, KJ Willis, and Syd Millevoi were all eliminated after the votes were counted.
On the flip side, four contestants managed to lock in their spots for the final showdown. The finalists for Season 29 are Alexia Jayy from Team Adam, Liv Ciara and Mikenley Brown representing Team Kelly, and Lucas West from Team Legend. Kelly Clarkson has two contestants in the finale as she took the top spot in the ‘All-Star Showdown’, which gave her team an extra edge. With the finalists confirmed, the competition now shifts into its final phase. The coaches can still offer advice and guidance, but they can’t influence the outcome anymore. The power sits entirely with the audience, which means every performance in the finale will carry extra weight.
The upcoming finale episode is set to air on April 14, and it will feature a two-hour showdown between the remaining four artists. With such a small group, there’s nowhere to hide. Fans can catch the finale on NBC, with streaming available the following day on Peacock. By the end of the night, one of these four finalists will walk away with the title, closing out a season that has kept viewers guessing at every turn. The results could go either way as all four finalists have proven they can handle the pressure, and each of them brings something different to the stage.
