What happened on The Voice season 26 episode 11?

One of the main highlights of The Voice season 26 episode 11 was Tanner Frick and Tate Renner competing in the final battle round. The two country artists performed Need a Favor on stage to show their vocal capabilities.

However, Reba wasn’t sure which artist to choose among them but knew that their vocals would go well together.

The Voice coach even admitted during the rehearsals that she hoped one of them was to be stolen by another one of the judges.

After their performance ended, Reba praised both the artists on how well their vocals were in sync. She liked their harmonies and ability to grasp the audience’s attention through their stage presence. Other judges also complimented the duo on their talent and skills as well as hard work.

However, towards the end of the performance, Reba revealed that the winner of the performance was Tate due to the “raspiness of his voice.”

The Voice judge, Michael complimented Tanner’s vocal capabilities without revealing his plan to steal the contestant. When Micahel sued his last steal, Reba was glad that Tanner wasn’t being eliminated from the competition as he deserved to be on the show till the very end.

Towards the end of the episode, contestants Cameron Wright and Cassidy Lee competed against one another. When it was time for Michael to decide who to choose, he selected Cameron due to their execution of the song.

Michael appreciated Cassidy stating that her performance was moving and the “growl” element in her voice made the song even more unique.

Then, The Voice judge Reba pressed the steal button and included Cassidy in her team. This meant Cassidy was saved from a possible elimination and was heading towards the Knockout round.

The remaining battles in this episode included J.Paul’s victory over Kamila Kiehne from Team Michael. Apart from that, Camryn Brooks won against Rowdy Shea from Team Gwen.

Team Snoop contestant Mary McAvoy won over Michael Alexander’s son, and Katie O was selected by Reba against her competitor 323.
