As The Voice Season 26 hurtles towards its grand finale, coach Reba McEntire isn't holding back her enthusiasm for Team Reba's last-standing warrior, Danny Joseph.
"I think he can win,"
McEntire declared confidently about the British rocker who's been turning heads since day one. With $100,000 and a record deal on the line, McEntire's faith in Joseph stems from his impressive versatility:
"He could be the growler, and the bad boy. Then he could also sing real soft, like we're gonna do on our duet."
The country legend's endorsement came after Joseph's stellar performances on Monday night's The Voice, where he competed against fellow finalists Jeremy Beloate, Shye, Sydney Sterlace, and Sofronio Vasquez in part one of the two-night finale spectacular. As viewers rush to cast their votes before the 7 a.m. ET Tuesday deadline, McEntire's words might just give Joseph the edge he needs.
Danny Joseph’s performance on The Voice Season 26 Finale Part 1
Danny Joseph proved exactly why he's earned such high praise from his coach during Monday night's performances. The British rocker channeled his inner classic rock god with two contrasting performances that showcased his remarkable range in this live performance on The Voice. His guitar-heavy performances weren't just about the fancy fretwork – they were masterclasses in vocal versatility.
Perhaps the most stunning moment came during his Amy Winehouse cover, where Joseph managed to do the seemingly impossible: bring something fresh to a beloved R&B/pop classic.
Complete with a guitar solo that would make Jimmy Page proud, the performance had McEntire beaming with pride as she noted it showcased "a different sound" that audiences hadn't heard from him before.
McEntire's complete assessment of Joseph's chances reads like a proud coach's dream:
"I see him winning because Danny is very versatile, he's got a great range with his voice. He could be the growler and the bad boy. Then he could also sing real soft, like we're gonna do on our duet. He is very, very good. Grounded, great head on his shoulders. And I am so proud he selected me from the get-go and I'm proud to have him on my team. I think he can win."
What to expect from The Voice Finale Part 2?
As The Voice prepares for its Tuesday night finale, Joseph faces stiff competition from his fellow finalists.
The evening promises to be a star-studded affair, featuring performances by Kelly Clarkson, Dan + Shay, Tears for Fears, Myles Smith, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Season 24 winner Huntley, and an unexpected but intriguing duet between Snoop Dogg and Sting.
The finale will also feature a special appearance by Martha Stewart, who already livened up Monday's show by offering a fashion critique of the coaches' wardrobe choices and introducing a holiday cocktail dubbed "Snoop Noggy Nog" – because nothing says "singing competition" quite like Martha Stewart serving boozy drinks to the judges.
With voting set to close at 7 a.m. ET on Tuesday, fans will soon know if McEntire's prediction about Joseph's victory comes true. Will the British rocker's versatility and raw talent be enough to secure the win? Or will one of his fellow contestants swoop in for the prize? I suppose the only way to find out is to tune in, in just a few hours.
