Now that The Voice Season 29 has revealed the four finalists, the question remains who is going to walk away with the title? Will it be Kelly Clarkson’s Liv Ciara or Mikenley Brown, Adam Levine’s Alexia Jayy or John Legend’s Lucas West? Here are our predictions for who will win The Voice in 2026.
But first, this season is different than any other that preceded it in that The Voice finale is not live, but already pre-taped with an audience of Superfans and former The Voice contestants voting for the winner. Not America.
This same audience voted for the four finalists, and I have to say that I think the result is very different than what it would have been if America had voted. In fact, two of my favorites in the Top 9 didn’t make the final four! So I am going to depend more on what the coaches had to say during the semifinal performances than who I think might win, as the usual leanings from past seasons don’t apply. There isn’t one country artist in the finale, and only one really young artist: Liv, who is 16.
That said, here are our predictions for who will win The Voice Season 29.

Who will win The Voice Season 29 in 2026?
My prediction is a tie right now between Liv Ciara and Lucas West. Liv’s performance in the semifinals couldn’t have gotten her more raves from the coaches, but with former Voice contestants voting, the fact that Lucas is more than a vocalist but also a pianist could tip the vote in his favor.
In the semifinals, Liv performed “Flashdance…What a Feeling” by Irene Cara, and she did it her way. In fact, coach Kelly made sure that everyone knew that the version that Liv sang was completely her own creation.
“I want to tell everyone right now that I had zero to do with any of that,” Kelly said. “She did everything. She completely came up with all of that. It is such a beautiful thing to realize how amazing you are as a singer but also as a producer.”
But it wasn’t just Kelly raving about her. John and Adam did as well.
John said, “Liv, that was a superstar performance. You looked, you sounded and you carried yourself like you were supposed to be here, and you’re supposed to be making records and playing arenas.”
But it was Adam who may have cemented her win. He said, “I am very sad right now. My sadness is you’re not on my team because I think right at this moment, you would win The Voice. We all decided this right now. Actually, I don’t wish that you do that because, again I have to remind myself, you are not on my team. I thought maybe I had a good chance of winning this year, a chance that is still there but not as much as before I saw what you just did. I am a huge fan of yours.”
LUCAS WEST
For his semifinal performance, Lucas tackled “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney, playing the piano – think Elton John or Billy Joel -- as well as singing. And it’s that special ability that could win him the whole thing.
Adam complimented him, saying, “That song requires everything of the person singing it. There’s no stone left unturned as far as what that song demands of you when you sing it. I don’t think there’s one part of your voice that can’t be firing on all cylinders. I loved how you brought up those big moments that you did and kind of tossed them a little bit. I thought that was cool. You did a run that made us go [makes a funny noise]. There is something about your voice that is just captivating. I think the fact that you play and are such a real musician, it adds this other dynamic to you that is super compelling. I am a huge fan of yours."
Then Kelly said, “There are very few artists I would go to a stadium for because I don’t find them very intimate and I don’t think people pull them off very well, but it’s funny because I think you’re the one performance tonight that would just crush in that environment. I think you have so much power to your voice, so much conviction, so much soulfulness, not just through your voice but through your fingers. The whole experience is awesome to behold. You’re not just a great voice. You’re a great artist.”
Then Lucas’ coach John said, “You are the whole package. You are an artist’s artist. You are a real pianist who can play play with real chops. You are tackling these songs by really big artists but it also tells me you have great taste in songwriting, which makes me want to hear what your songwriting is like. You come out here and you really deliver an electric, energetic, soulful performance. I just love how artistic you are, how creative you are, and how competitive you are.”

Alexia went powerful for her semifinal performance singing Aretha Franklin’s “I Never Loved a Man (the Way I Love You),” and she brought down the house.
Kelly said, “I have been looking forward to this moment for so long. I love this song so much. It has been ingrained in me since I was very young and I don’t like anyone singing it, but you can sing it every damn day. You are so gifted.”
John added, “I love you so much. You are so talented. You have so much creative energy and positive energy. You are elegant and cool at the same time. Classy and fashionable and rock’n’roll and soulful. You’re an artist’s artist and I love you.”
Her coach Adam said, “I don’t know what I’m supposed to tell you because you’re like the best singer ever and I love you so much. I feel like a superfan right now, not a coach. I feel like a dude that loves you. You have this larger-than-life persona that you put out when you are doing your thing. The second you are done, you go back to being the sweetest, most thoughtful, humble person, so I just love that juxtaposition. There aren’t many people that have these incredible qualities as a vocalist and a person. We are all lucky to get to watch you do what you do and I am lucky to get to be your coach.”
Despite the raves for her performance, it didn’t feel that there were as much excitement from the coaches as for the previous two.
MIKENLEY BROWN
Mikenley chose “I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith for her semifinal performance. She was one of the earlier performances in the show, unlike Liv, Alexia and Lucas, who were in the second half, and was memorable enough that voters remembered her.
“Mikenley, I am beaming over here,” John said. “This was your best performance. I loved the crackle in your voice, the rasp was really beautiful. I think you may have snuck up on people and shown them something they may not have expected. That was so well done. I absolutely loved it.”
Then Adam chimed in, “I agree. I think it was your best performance. I think it was more of what we all loved when we turned around for you in the Blinds, and definitely beautiful. Your head voice and your falsetto, the way you dance in there is your superpower as a singer. It’s so beautiful.”
Kelly said: “Believability is a huge thing for me because a lot of people come out here and sing great songs, but I don’t buy it. I buy it from you. I was impressed by you in rehearsals. She walked in and she sang like that and I was, ‘I know I’m supposed to say something here.’ You were doing those incredible runs, but I love that you held back on some of the runs and you made them more special.”
As good as Mikenley was, I am still betting on either Liv or Lucas as the winners.
The Voice finale will take place on Tuesday, April 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Streaming next day on Peacock.
