The members of Team Snoop Dogg will perform in The Voice playoffs Monday night.
By the end of the evening, Snoop will chose one singer to advance to the Season 28 finale.
That singer will join Aubrey Nicole of Team Reba and Jazz McKenzie of Team Michael, last week’s picks to make the finals.
Monday’s show starts at 9 p.m.
And after it ends, fans will have until 7 a.m. Tuesday to vote for a wild card participant in next week’s finale.
They will be voting between the three members of Team Snoop who aren’t selected to advance and three members of Team Niall, which also performs Monday.
Here’s a look at Team Snoop, followed by Voice Views’ pick on who should get that spot in the finals.
Mindy Miller, 35, Damascus, Md.: She turned two chairs in the blinds singing Lainey Wilson’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” and deserved more. She then won a battle round match over Emmanuel Rey and a knockout round match over Carolina Rodriguez.
Ralph Edwards, 30, Fresno, Calif: He turned four chairs singing Journey’s “Lights” in the blind auditions. He then won a battle round match over Jerrell Melton and a knocking round match over Kenny Iko.
Toni Lorene, 28, Houston, Texas: She turned three chairs in the blinds, performing Lizzo’s “Cuz I Love You.” She won her battle round match over Sadie Dahl and her knockout over Natalia Albertini.
Yoshihanaa, 36, Sanford, Fla.: She turned three chairs in the blinds, singing “Nobody’s Supposed to be Here” by Deborah Cox. She won a battle round match over Natalia Albertini and a knockout over Lauren Anderson. She was also the recipient of Team Snoop’s mic drop.
My take: My personal favorite on Team Snoop is Toni Lorene. Her vocals have been fire. Her solo performances have been too, filled with a virant, youthful enthusiasm that’s contagious.
That said, I’m well aware of this sad fact: A black female singer has never won The Voice. And given this season’s condensed format, Toni (and Yoshi, for that matter) aren’t going to have multiple weeks to convince Voice fans that they should be the first.
I won’t be shocked if Ralph Edwards gets the spot in the finale. His deep soulful vocals are more in line with the singers Voice fans have supported in the past. And The Voice has already leaked his playoff performance. It’s superb.
To date, Voice producers have done him no favors. His blind audition aired in the season premiere. Then he disappeared for a month before they made the odd decision to air his battle round and knockout performances ON THE SAME DAMN NIGHT. Which means he disappeared for another six weeks heading into Monday’s playoffs.
A look back …

Ok but dont sleep on mindy miller – talk about someone
Way to just completely leave her out. She seems like the kind of person that’s always been left up because of her weight because of the fact that she’s different but that’s what makes her better than a lot of people on this season is that she’s different and authentic and real. She’s one of the few that actually sounds like a artist and not a cruise boat singer or a wedding band singer . This whole team is crazy good but I’m sick of Mindy being overlooked because it doesn’t make any damn sense
Maybe this is just a click bait spam site who knows But to not even mention Mindy being a potential winner is out of this world ridiculous. I hope she rides in like a dark horse and shows everybody what it’s like to be a real Professional musician.
