The December 1, 2025 episode of The Voice Season 28 was jam-packed full of amazing performances from the four Artists on Team Bublé and the four Artists on Team Reba, which made for a great night of entertainment but difficult decisions for Coaches Michael Bublé and Reba McEntire. Each of them could only choose one Artist each to represent them in the Live Finale, when the viewers will have the ultimate say in who gets crowned the champion.
How to Watch
Watch The Voice Mondays at 9/8c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
Despite all the talent on display, though, two singers did stand out. One was a frontrunner from the beginning with her technical prowess, the other a dark horse who only got a single chair turn at the Blind Auditions. Read the results, below:
Who Reba McEntire is sending to the Live Shows on The Voice
Aubrey “Heart of Gold” Nicole‘s rendition of “Black Velvet by Alannah Myles was a surprising choice for the singer, but she showed off a sultry side the Coaches hadn’t seen and were so impressed by.
“I just wanna tell the story with my voice. I feel like Reba really believes in me, and I would love to be her finalist,” Nicole said in rehearsals.
“I love this song. I thought, ‘Now, how is Aubrey gonna do this?'” reflected McEntire. Afterward, she said, “Girl you owned it. I was blown away. You sing your butt off. You’re gorgeous…you’re the perfect package.”
Coach Niall Horan agreed, saying Nicole “no doubt” should get a place in the Live Finale, which McEntire ultimately gave her.
Who Michael Bublé is sending to the Live Shows on The Voice
Jazz “Bold Breakout Diva” McKenzie has the voice to beat, and after all, this show is called The Voice. For her Playoffs performance, She Gospel-fied Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” a song she says relates to her life in this moment. “Here we are. I’m chasing my dream. ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ is literally the mantra to my life. If it can happen for me it could happen for anybody,” she explained.
The reworked version worked wonders on her Coach. “I think that’s the first time anybody’s heard Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ with new lyrics that end, ‘Thank you Jesus.’ I got goosebumps. That was amazing,” said Bublé, who chose her for the Live Finale and later remarked, “Jazz reminds me of the greatest singers who ever lived. [Barbra] Streisand, [Aretha] Franklin, Celine [Dion]… without a doubt, the best vocalist I’ve ever heard on this show.”
