Throughout the season, aspiring singers battled for a coveted spot on the teams of coaches Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Horan, and Reba McEntire. The final six – Aubrey Nicole (Team Reba), Ross (Team Niall), Jazz McKenzie (Team Bublé), Ralph Edwards (Team Snoop), Max Chambers (Team Bublé), and Dek of Hearts (Team Niall) – delivered their best performances in hopes of securing the coveted title.

The competition heated up on Monday, December 15th, with the revelation of the final two contestants: 14-year-old Max Chambers from Team Bublé and the trio Dek of Hearts from Team Niall. The evening showcased a diverse range of musical styles. Dek of Hearts performed both “Fishin’ in the Dark” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and “Let It Go” by James Bay, while Chambers captivated the audience with Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” and Whitney Houston’s iconic “One Moment In Time.”
Team Reba’s Aubrey Nicole delivered powerful renditions of “‘Til You Can’t” by Cody Johnson and “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” a song originally performed by Vicki Lawrence and later re-recorded by McEntire in 1991. Jazz McKenzie of Team Bublé showcased her vocal range with “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” Ross, representing Team Niall, performed “Golden Hour” by JVKE and ABBA’s classic, “The Winner Takes It All.” Rounding out the performances, Ralph Edwards from Team Snoop delivered renditions of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” and Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven.”
