Season 27 of “The Voice” has been stacked. Between powerhouse vocals, emotional ballads, and those “wait, this is live?” moments, the Top 12 gave us a lot to chew on during the May 12 semifinals. But the real nail-biter? Tonight’s live show, which will finally reveal who made it into the Top 5.
Since we love a good prediction (and let’s be honest, most of us already have favorites), here’s a spoiler-laced breakdown of who we think will claim those coveted finale slots—based on performance buzz, coach feedback, and some seriously enthusiastic fan reactions.
Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine)
If anyone screamed “finale material,” it was Lucia. Her haunting cover of “Black Hole Sun” turned “The Voice” stage into an arena-worthy rock moment. Adam Levine hasn’t had this kind of dark horse in a while, and she’s proving she’s no background act.
Fans were all over social media too; praising her performances, with one person saying, “I voted Lucia! I just couldn’t not vote for her. I have loved her from the first note she sang in the auditions!” And honestly… same.
RENZO (Team John Legend)
Let’s talk about range. RENZO hit a “Dream On” high note that made even seasoned rock fans do a double-take. Fans took notice with one commenting on Reddit, “He killed the high note! holy hell man.”
And John Legend called his vocal control “unbelievable,” and it’s clear he’s not just surviving in this competition; he’s thriving.
Iris Herrera (Team Kelsea Ballerini)
The emotional gut-punch of Iris’s performance of “Messy” can’t be overstated. She’s one of the season’s biggest growth arcs, going from “who?” to “how is she not already signed?”
“This was the “perfect song choice and she did amazing with the wordy parts,” a viewer on Youtube noted, saying, “her breathing was on point.” And based on Kelsea’s gushing response, we’re not the only ones who think Iris has more to give.
Adam David (Team Michael Bublé)
Smooth, soulful, and technically flawless, Adam David’s rendition of “Bring It On Home to Me” had Bublé grinning like a proud dad. He may not have the loudest fanbase, but he’s been climbing steadily… and the live votes could finally tip in his favor.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) told people, “If you didn’t watch the Voice tonight, go to YouTube later, pull up tonight’s Adam David performance… He threw down tonight.” David’s a classic crooner with a modern edge, and that combo might just give him the edge in a field full of belters.
Bryson Battle (Team John Legend)
Bryson’s got that “it” factor. His stage presence screams headliner, and his vocals haven’t missed once this season. It wouldn’t be shocking if he slid into the Top 5 purely off charisma and consistency.
He’s also mastered the art of choosing songs that showcase both his voice and his personality, which is always a winning move at this stage in the game. One fan on Instagram said, “So what’s there to say? Perfection,” after this performance… and they might not be wrong.
How to Watch The Next Episode
We’ll know for sure who makes it and who is out when “The Voice” returns with the Top 5 reveal during the live show airing tonight, May 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. If you miss all the action, don’t worry, it streams next day on Peacock. And considering this season’s track record fans can expect at least one shocker… and a whole lot of standing ovations.
