NBC premiered The Voice Season 26 finale part 2 on December 10, 2024. The second part of the finale featured five finalists, their Coaches, former participants, and many artists for their performances.
The highlight of the finale was the winner's reveal, followed by the rest of the participants and their rankings. As fans know, Team Michael Bublé's Sofronio Vasquez won the singing competition show.
Apart from Sofronio, there were four participants, which were:
- Sydney Sterlace - Team Gwen
- Danny Joseph - Team Reba
- Shye - Team Bublé
- Jeremy Beloate - Team Snoop
After learning that Sydney took third place after Shye's second place, fans took to social media platform X to react to the situation. While some fans wanted her to win, some felt otherwise.
One of The Voice Season 26 fans wrote on X,
"How tf sydney out placing either danny or Jeremy is crazy #thevoice."
Another fan commented,
"Danny outplacing Jeremy and Sydney outplacing both of them,,,, this is Not it #TheVoice."
One more fan praised Michael while mentioning that Jeremy and Shye were "robbed,"
"I knew once Buble praised filipinos that safronio prob won. Hes good. Shye and Jeremy were robbed tho #thevoice."
A netizen commented,
"Jeremy and Danny…both amazing talents as they all are…gone. Sorry for the Spoiler Alert but the winner of #thevoice is Sofronio. He has the most followers here (always a dead givaway) and all of the Philippines & fans in the US voting for him. Congrats to all!"
A fan wrote,
"I'm not mad at Sofronio's win but I feel like Shye should've won… and i'm still shook over Jeremy #thevoice."
Another X user commented,
"Do I think #TheVoice Season 26 winner is coming from Team Bublé? I think so... Shye and Sofronio Vasquez are just too good. My third pick is Sydney Sterlace from Team Gwen. But America might like Jeremy Beloate's powerful theater voice or Danny Joseph's rocker vibes. We'll see."
A user reacted and shared disappointment,
"#TheVoice Is rigged! Sorry but it's the gods honest truth.. Ain't no way Michael had two people number 1 and 2 when Sydney Sterlace was better than both… Also since he's the only judge coming back for Season 27 it makes sense for him to talk about it there… #TheVoiceFinale."
Another X user commented,
"I wanted sydney to win but congrats to sofronio! also one direction came in third place so #TheVoice."
A fan wrote,
"Sofronio better win. I won't be mad if Shye wins, though. But it BETTER not be Sydney. She isn't better than those 2. #TheVoice #TheVoiceFinale."
A person reacted,
"For me, it's between Sonofrio and Shye for the win. If Sydney wins, it'll be a travesty since her two songs last night weren't that good. #TheVoice."
