‘The Voice’: Who are the top 5 contestants competing in the season 24 finale?

There are five remaining contestants on “The Voice” who will compete for the chance to win it all.

Part one of the two-day finale will feature the contestants as they perform live head-to-head on Monday, Dec. 18. Viewers across the country will vote for the winner, that will be announced in part two of the finale on Tuesday, Dec. 19.

Unlike previous seasons, season 24 has all top five contestants who also happen to be among the competition’s four-chair turn performances.

Here’s who remains as a finalist and their coach.

Lila Forde – Team John Leged

Forde impressed coaches with her unique performance of Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home.” She played the piano while singing.

“You look so comfortable up there on that piano,” Niall Horan praised after her audition.

Forde next appeared in the third round of the battle rounds, where she beat JaRae Womack in a duet of “Killing Me Softly with His Song” by Lori Lieberman.

She then advanced with her cover of James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” in the knockout rounds, making it to the playoffs.

In the live shows, Forde won again through the public vote for her cover of the Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine,” continuing with a win once again in the semifinals with Joni Mitchell’s “River.”

Like Leigh and Huntley, Forde is as one of three finalists to never be stolen or saved in the show, meaning she is undefeated.

Huntley – Team Niall Horan

After a powerful and raspy audition that earned contestant Huntley four chair turns at the same time by coaches, he was not the one who had the final say as to who his coach should be.

After singing the Black Crowes’ “She Talks To Angels,” the contestant let his 6-year-old daughter choose his coach. He then joined Team Niall.

In the battle rounds, Huntley sang alongside Brailey Lenderman as they performed a duet cover of Hootie & the Blowfish’s “Hold My Hand.” He advanced in the round, beating his opponent.

He moved on to the knockout rounds, singing Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Horan called his performance “the best Knockout I’ve ever seen on this show.”

Next was the playoffs as he covered David Kushner’s “Daylight.” He advanced on to the live performances, proving to be a fan-favorite.

Huntley is also one of three finalists to never be stolen or saved in the show.

Mara Justine – Team Niall Horan

Justine is a contestant who blew coaches away early in the season. The 21-year-old received a chair turn from each coach during her performance of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”

Legend was so impressed he asked Justine to sing with him in a duet of his song “All of Me.” She ended up joining his team right after.

During the battle rounds, Legend paired Justine with Claudia B., singing Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man.” Justine ended up the victor and advanced to knockouts rounds.

In the knockouts, she sang Harry Nilsson’s “Without You.” However, Legend chose Kaylee Shimizu as the round’s winner. Gwen Stefani and Horan interjected with a pair of steals. Justine chose to join Team Niall.

In the playoffs, Justine sang “You’ve Got the Love” by Florence & The Machine, allowing her to move on to the live shows — which was determined by the public viewers — alongside contestants Huntley and Nini Iris.

Justine wrapped up the semi-finals singing Chris Stapleton’s “Parachute.” She is now moving on as a top five contestant.

Ruby Leigh – Team Reba McEntire

This one contestant’s blind audition went viral on multiple platforms as the show welcomed a singer who also yodels.

Leigh auditioned with Patsy Montana’s “I Want To Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart.” Coaches were blown away with the yodeling, especially since she was 16.

She beat fellow contestant Al Boogie in the battle rounds next, singing Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” From there she moved on to the knockouts.

Leigh contnued to impress as she won again, singing over Rachele Nguyen and Ms. Monet.

In the playoffs, Leigh sang Linda Ronstadt’s “Long, Long Time,” advancing to the live shows where she then sang Cee Cee Chapman’s “You Lie.”

After moving to the semifinals, she earned a public vote victory, advancing as one of the top four vote-earners.

Jacquie Roar – Team Reba McEntire

The country singer lit up the stage with her audition, singing Gretchen Wilson’s “Here for the Party.” She earned four chair turns after belting impressive notes.

Roar went up against BIAS in the battle rounds, singing a duet of Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor.” BIAS won the round but McEntire came in with a steal for Roar. She then joined McEntire’s team.

She then went up against Tom Nitti and Alison Albrecht in the knockouts. She advanced in the competition after singing a cover of “Girl” by Maren Morris.

“I chose Jacquie because she knows her range and her showmanship is wonderful,” McEntire said.

Roar continued strong in the playoffs singing Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” The performance impressed Stefani so much that she said she regrets letting Roar go during the battle rounds.

Roar was then selected to go to the lives alongside fellow country singers, Jordan Rainer and Ruby Leigh.

Now, she will compete Monday as a top five finalist.

“The Voice” airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST on NBC. For those without cable, it can also be streamed on platforms like Peacock and FuboTV. Both platforms offer a free trial for those interested in signing up for a membership.

The season finale will air on Tuesday, Dec. 19 as the winner is announced. The winner will receive a cash prize and a recording contract.
