Team Reba featured Adam Bohanan, Katie O, Edward Preble, Lauren-Michael Sellers, and Danny Joseph, each delivering standout performances. Bohanan offered a soulful rendition of Chris Stapleton’s “Think I’m in Love With You,” while Preble performed coach Michael Bublé’s arrangement of “All of Me.”
Katie O teamed up with “Yellowstone” star Lainey Wilson for a duet of her song “Hang Tight Honey.” Meanwhile, Sellers delivered a heartwarming take on Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay,” and Joseph turned Marvin Gaye’s classic “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” into a high-energy rock cover.
McEntire chose Bohanan and Joseph to advance to the live shows from Team Reba. However, her decision to select them left some fans puzzled, questioning why she chose the two over other standout performers on her team.
One fan didn’t hold back, exclaiming, “LAUREN WAS ROBBED 😭💔.” Another questioned the logic behind the decisions, “Reba sending Lauren Michael home truly cost her the win. Gwen could have won with Jose and she cut him as well. What is up with these coaches choosing people who still needs [sic] help rather than actual vocalists??”
Some were especially passionate about Sellers, with a comment stating, “Lauren could have won The Voice this year. Got to say there are no bad singers this year but so far the judges choices have not been great. Really disappointed ☹️ [sic].”
Another fan added, “Shocking beyond belief that a Country Star would pass over one of the best young Country singers ever to take The Voice stage! Simply unbelievable! 😱.”
Others expressed frustration with Reba McEntire’s choices, “Totally disagreed with Reba’s decision tonight. Others were much better. For being a country artist you didn’t even pick one. I was all for you until tonight 😞.” One fan took it further, declaring, “Bye bye Team Reba. It’s frustrating, I’m going to stop watching it and stop following the page.”
Some fans were puzzled by the decisions, such as this one, “Wow, Adam – really? That’s a shocker. What is she thinking? I didn’t think he should have moved on the last round. And based on tonight’s performances I don’t get it. Lauren or Edward would have been a better choice. Danny I agree with.”
Other comments highlighted missed opportunities, “I am shocked 😳 that Katie o didn’t move on. She was good 😊 she had a good 😊 singing voice too! I think she should move...
