The Voice Season 23: Top 8 Vote Results and Predictions

The Voice 23 Top 8: Polls, Predictions and Facebook Statistics

The Voice season 23 goes live on Monday, May 15, when the Top 8 perform for America’s vote and the opportunity to move on to the Top 5 and the finale. With the show advancing quickly through rounds and several dramatic cutdowns, fan reactions and social metrics are shaping up to be as influential as coaches’ opinions.

This week there won’t be a formal “power list,” but based on social engagement, polls and recent performances, a clear picture of who’s trending has emerged. Producers released song spoilers ahead of the episode, giving viewers an idea of what to expect from each Top 8 artist.

With Blake Shelton stepping away, NBC might be hoping he leaves with a tenth win. His semi-finalists NOIVAS and Grace West are both compelling performers. An interesting behind-the-scenes detail: Chance the Rapper previously praised NOIVAS, suggesting championship potential, only for NOIVAS to end up on Blake’s team after the Battles.

Don’t Sleep on Team Niall Horan

Team Niall has been a social-media standout this week. Gina Miles and Ryley Tate Wilson lead Facebook engagement, with Gina’s performance of “Wicked Game” going massively viral. Niall’s fanbase—bolstered by his international profile—has clearly influenced online attention, and that momentum can translate to votes during live voting windows.

While Blake’s contestants have strong fan followings as well, their Facebook numbers trail the top contenders from Team Niall. Social reach is only one factor, but it’s an important indicator of which artists are resonating with viewers right now.

May 15 Live Voting and Top 5 Reveal

NBC will not air a separate semi-final results show. The Top 8 will perform live, and viewers will have a very brief voting window at the end of the broadcast to choose who advances. According to the network’s voting guidance, only East Coast and Central time zones will be able to participate in the live vote window. The finale will be presented in two parts: the Top 5 will perform on Monday, May 22, with the results revealed on May 23.
