The Voice Season 26 semi-finals brought high stakes and even higher notes as the top eight artists battled it out for a spot in the finale.

Each of the remaining artists — Adam Bohanan, Christina Eagle, Danny Joseph, Jan Dan, Jeremy Beloate, Shye, Sofronio Vasquez, and Sydney Sterlace — performed a solo song and a duet of a Sting track, with the “Every Breath You Take” singer playing bass for all of his songs.

NBC’s hit singing competition “The Voice” is coming to a close soon, and only eight performers remain in the competition.

As difficult as it may be, the time has come for us to stop facepalming over the decisions that The Voice’s Season 26 coaching panel of Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, “Uncle Snoop” Dogg and Michael Bublé made during this week’s Playoffs.
