The Voice Season 19 Top 8 Predictions

TVLine has made up a list of the remaining contenders on The Voice that we believe have the best shot of making it all the way to Season 19's Semi-Finals. See if you agree with our picks.

Bailey Rae

We would've been more flummoxed by John Legend's decision to drop the stellar Sid Kingsley in favor of this good, not great, country gal, had it not seemed like such shrewd strategy. Unless we miss our mark, the show is angling for a Final Four that's made up of one country act from each coach.

Ben Allen

Unless Blake looks at cutting loose this frontrunner as an engagement gift to fiancée Gwen, who stole him, he's gonna be kicking himself for dropping the Floridian whose voice isn't merely twangtastic, it's so rich that just listening to it counts as cheating on our diets.

Carter Rubin

"Divine" is probably the closest-to-correct descriptor for the powerful, nuanced vocals turned out on the regular by Team Gwen Stefani's impossibly poised 14-year-old wunderkind. If he doesn't have his elders in the contest shaking in their boots, they haven't been listening closely enough.

Jim Ranger

Season 19's finale may feel like a repeat, owing to the fact that there's an excellent chance that Team Blake's new pastor is gonna follow the tracks of Team Blake's old pastor (Season 18 victor Todd Tilghman) right into the winner's circle. But as raucous and entertaining a performer as Jim is, we'd be oddly OK with that.

Larriah Jackson

Black women don't tend to fare well on The Voice — at least not to the point that they are crowned the victor of any given season. But there's something special about Team Gwen's 15-year-old Mini-Whitney that just may allow her to do what couldn't be done by Rose Short, etc. That is, if she survives the four-way Knockout!

Payge Turner

We'll admit that we weren't nuts about this Team Gwen lightning rod's cover of Radiohead's "Creep" in the Knockouts. But your crazy-strong reaction to that emotional performance has given us pause. If you dug it that much, perhaps there's more to Payge than meets the — or at least our — ear.

Sid Kingsley

We can't for the life of us fathom why this pitch-perfect showman has been passed around from coach to coach like a potato that's too hot to hold. Stolen most recently by Blake Shelton, Sid is a captivating singer, one whose vocals are so smokin', it's a wonder that his performances don't set off fire alarms.

Tanner Gomes

Though he's not the natural that Team Blake's Ben is, the cowpoke for whom Kelly Clarkson dropped the far superior Marisa Corvo has a nice voice, a handsome mug and a laidback charm. Those things, combined with Voice viewers' predilection for country artists, should get him to the Semi-Finals without breaking a sweat.
