First up was Snoop Dogg’s team member Christina Eagle, who performed a cheerful rendition of Shania Twain’s “Man!” I feel like a woman.” Snoop highly praised the performance, saying it was like listening to Reba McEntire “reborn.” Meanwhile, Reba herself called it a “great representation of what this show is about.”

Next up was Gwen Stefani’s team member Jan Dan, who took on Journey’s classic ballad “Open Arms.” Stefani expressed her pride and told Jan Dan, “I’m shaking because I’m so happy for you. We’re on live TV and you can be so relaxed and yourself. It was perfect. I’m so proud of you.”

In the first duet of the night, Team Snoop’s Jeremy Beloate joined Michael Bublé’s Sofronio Vasquez for a performance of The Police classic “Every Breath You Take.”

This was followed by Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan, who performed Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?” “I love that you’re out here having fun,” McEntire told Bohanan. “You have that mischievous little boy grin. Your eyes sparkle. You are contagious. This touches my heart with your great talent.”

Team Reba’s Danny Joseph and Team Snoop’s Christina Eagle then teamed up for a duet titled “If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free.”

Team Gwen’s Sydney Sterlace then took the stage to perform Billie Eilish’s hit “When the Party’s Over.” Stefani told the younger singer that she was “blown away” by the performance.

Next, Team Bublé’s Shye took on the ballad “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile and delivered a powerful performance. “I’ve never heard anyone who sounds like you in this competition. I said from the beginning: You are the truth,” said Bublé.

Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan and Team Gwen’s Jan Dan then teamed up for a duet of “Roxanne,” with both artists doing their best to win America’s votes.

Team Snoop’s Jeremy Beloate then returned to the stage for his solo performance, recording Tom Jones’ “I (Who Have Nothing).” Snoop was so impressed that he turned his attention to the audience and said, “I’m going to talk to America.” Grab your phone and vote for Jeremy. Stop playing.”

For the final duet of the night, Team Bublé’s Shye teamed up with Team Gwen’s Sydney Sterlace to perform “Fields of Gold.”

This was followed by Team Reba’s Danny Joseph, who performed Chris Stapleton’s “I Was Wrong.” McEntire praised the performance, saying: “You looked great; You sounded great. I liked the things you chose to play on the guitar that were different from rehearsal. Your performance was great.”

Closing the evening was Sofronio Vasquez from Team Bublé, who took on Elvis Presley’s “If I Can Dream” and delivered an electrifying performance. “Nobody in the entire universe knows what you’re going through except you and your family,” Bublé told the singer. “I think if people understood the strength you have on a night when it counts, you would go out here and take the brass ring. I’m so happy.”
