Will Serenity Arce advance to Live Shows? 'The Voice' coach Reba McEntire says the singer 'definitely needs to go to Lives'
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: On Monday night, the highly-anticipated second night of 'The Voice' Season 25 Playoffs is set to take place. Viewers will be treated to exciting performances from the artists of Team Chance and Team Reba, as they battle it out for a chance to secure a spot in the Live Shows.
Each team has five participants at this point but will be reduced to three, leaving two singers from each team going home. In an early release video, 16-year-old Serenity Arce from Team Chance performs Selena Gomez's 'Lose You To Love Me'.
Soon after, the judges shared their take on Serenity's performance.
Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney said, "I don’t know who hurt you but my goodness. Dan and I will volunteer to go find whoever it was. You have a very unique gift to tell a story and to put yourself in that song. You’re 16, right? That’s ridiculous.”
“You sing and perform with so much conviction and that takes a lifetime for some people to pick up, so you’ve got a good one on your hands, Chance," Dan Smyers added.
John Legend told Serenity, "We see the hurt in your eyes, we see the angst in your eyes. That’s what you have to do in this moment. You have to make an emphatic statement on your own behalf, and it was right on time.”
“If you had a little book that said how to make it to the finals, you checked off every box. Enunciation, poise, and attitude. When you gave us that look, you were serious and you definitely need to go to the Lives. She’s good," Reba McEntire chimed in.
Chance the Rapper added, “You come in killer every week. There were some big moments in the song that you went for or created yourself. You emotion, your intentionality on lyrics, people notice and people feel. It’s going to be a tough decision that I make at the end, but you very much deserve to be in the Lives.”
It seems like Serenity Arce will make it to the Live Shows.

In the midst of it all, ex-NBC mentor Blake Shelton voiced his strong belief that Serenity had the potential to achieve even greater heights if she were to make a comeback on the show, having dedicated a whole year to perfecting her craft.
Serenity, motivated and inspired by the guidance bestowed upon her by the coaches, wholeheartedly embraced their advice and diligently worked on honing her singing abilities. And now, after countless hours of practice and unwavering determination, Serenity triumphantly graced the stage for her inaugural live performance, leaving the audience spellbound.
Furthermore, alongside her dedication to music, Serenity persisted in pursuing her love for dance by taking part in the highly esteemed 'World of Dance' competition in the year 2022.
Taking a moment to contemplate and bask in her accomplishment, the aspiring vocalist took to social media to express her joy and gratitude, revealing that her talented dance crew managed to secure an impressive ninth place in the United States rankings while also attaining a commendable fourteenth place globally in the fiercely competitive event.
