The Voice Season 27 is officially down to five finalists, but not before one of its most emotionally charged moments yet, a last-chance performance from Team Bublé’s Adam David, who took on Teddy Swims’ chart-topping hit “Lose Control” during Monday night’s (May 13) Instant Save round.
Originally released in June 2023, “Lose Control” marked Swims’ breakthrough moment, becoming his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. The single debuted at No. 99 and made a historic 32-week climb to No. 1 in March 2024, the longest consecutive rise to the top in the chart’s history. It went on to spend a record-breaking 60 non-consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 and was named the No. 1 song on Billboard’s Year-End Hot 100 Songs chart for 2024.
Covering such a chart-dominating hit wasn’t a small feat, but David delivered. His rendition showcased vulnerability and vocal control and secured him the final spot in next week’s finale.
The Voice Season 27 finale lineup is officially set, with the Top 5 finalists including RENZO (Team Legend), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam), Jadyn Cree (Team Bublé), Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea), and Adam David (Team Bublé), who clinched the final spot via Instant Save.
The remaining contestants were eliminated following the live vote and Instant Save round: Conor James (Team Adam), Alanna Lynise (Team Kelsea), Kolby Kordell (Team Adam), Kaiya Hamilton (Team Bublé), Olivia Kuper Harris (Team Legend), Iris Herrera (Team Kelsea), and Bryson Battle (Team Legend).
It was an emotional night for all four coaches as they said goodbye to team members, including John Legend, who lost standout vocalist Bryson Battle in the Instant Save round.
“I find it difficult to even talk about this because I did not think you would be in this position today,” Legend told him. “You have given us performances that said you should be in the finale of this show. You gave us one yesterday, you gave us one just now on this stage, and you continue to be the epitome of what this show is all about.”
The Voice Season 27 live finale airs Monday, May 20 on NBC.
