Meet the Top 6 Finalists
Four artists were chosen directly by their coaches during the Playoff rounds. A fifth and sixth finalist were selected by public vote from the pool of eliminated playoff artists.
Team Reba: Aubrey Nicole
The 19-year-old from Pennsylvania earned her spot after a standout performance of “Black Velvet” during the Playoffs. She is notable as the only one-chair turn among the finalists.
Team Niall: Aiden Ross
The 20-year-old from Texas impressed coach Niall Horan with his performance of Damien Rice’s “The Blower’s Daughter”. Ross turned all four chairs in his blind audition with a version of Adele’s “Love in the Dark”.
“To think this guy’s 20 years old and has that talent, it’s frightening,” Horan said of Ross.
Team Bublé: Jazz McKenzie
The 31-year-old from Alabama won her finale position with a soulful take on Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”. She also turned all four chairs in her blind audition.
Team Snoop: Ralph Edwards
The 30-year-old professional musician from California moved his coach to tears with his Playoff performance of “A Song For You,” securing his place.
“You touched me, man,” Snoop Dogg told Edwards. “You brought back a lot of memories”.
