The latest playoff round on The Voice saw five talented members of Team Reba compete for just two spots in the live shows, leaving fans divided over the legendary country artist’s elimination choices. While some expressed understanding, many were vocal about their disappointment.
Team Reba showcased a mix of talent, with standout performances from Adam Bohanan, Katie O, Edward Preble, Lauren-Michael Sellers, and Danny Joseph. Each contestant brought their unique style to the stage:
- Adam Bohanan performed a soulful rendition of Chris Stapleton’s “Think I’m in Love With You.”
- Edward Preble delivered Michael Bublé’s arrangement of “All of Me.”
- Katie O teamed up with Yellowstone star Lainey Wilson for a duet of her song “Hang Tight Honey.”
- Lauren-Michael Sellers moved the audience with a heartfelt take on Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay.”
- Danny Joseph transformed Marvin Gaye’s classic “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” into a high-energy rock anthem.
McEntire’s Final Choices
In the end, McEntire chose Adam Bohanan and Danny Joseph to move forward to the live shows, sparking an outpouring of mixed reactions from fans. Many questioned why she overlooked other standout performers like Lauren-Michael Sellers, a decision some fans felt could cost Team Reba the competition.
One fan didn’t hold back, lamenting, “LAUREN WAS ROBBED 😭💔.” Another shared their frustration, writing, “Reba sending Lauren-Michael home truly cost her the win. Gwen could have won with Jose, and she cut him too. What is up with these coaches picking people who still need help instead of actual vocalists?”
Fans Rally Behind Sellers
Lauren-Michael Sellers seemed to be the fan favorite, with several comments highlighting their disappointment in her elimination. One passionate supporter wrote, “Lauren could have won The Voice this year. There are no bad singers this season, but so far the judges’ choices have been questionable. Really disappointed ☹️.”
Others expressed disbelief that McEntire, a country music icon, didn’t choose a young country artist like Sellers. “Shocking beyond belief that a country star would pass over one of the best young country singers ever to take The Voice stage! Simply unbelievable! 😱,” one fan exclaimed.
Backlash Against McEntire’s Decisions
While some fans were upset about Sellers, others questioned McEntire’s choice of Adam Bohanan. “Wow, Adam—really? That’s a shocker. I didn’t think he should have advanced in the last round. Based on tonight’s performances, I don’t get it. Lauren or Edward would have been a better choice,” one viewer remarked.
Another fan expressed their disappointment more broadly: “Totally disagreed with Reba’s decision tonight. Others were much better. For being a country artist, you didn’t even pick one. I was all for you until tonight 😞.”
The frustration even led some to consider abandoning the show altogether, with one fan declaring, “Bye bye, Team Reba. It’s frustrating—I’m going to stop watching and stop following the page.”
A Divisive Night on The Voice
While Reba McEntire’s decisions stirred debate, they also highlighted the exceptional talent among her team this season. As the competition moves into the live shows, fans will be watching closely to see how Bohanan and Joseph fare—and whether McEntire’s choices pay off in the end.
