The Voice playoffs continue and conclude Monday night when the remaining members of Team Legend and Team Michael Buble take the stage.

By the end of the night, fans will find out who will compete in the semifinals for fan votes on Monday, March 12.

All five members of Team Legend and Team Michael will take the stage during Monday’s show. Each coach will then hand pick two artists to advance.

Sheryl Crow will help mentor Team Michael; LeAnn Rimes will serve with same role for Team Legend.

The four semifinalists selected so far include Iris Herrera and Alanna Lynise of Team Kelsea and Kolby Cordell and Lucia Flores-Wiseman of Team Adam.

Here’s a recap of who remains on Team Legend. And, at the bottom, my predictions on what could/should happen.

Voice Views prediction

There’s a ton of vocal talent on this team, so my opinion could change based on what happens Monday night.

Renzo, a former standout on American Idol as Dennis Lorenzo, stands out because of his combination of stage presence and vocal ability. I can’t see him not making the semifinals.

The other top performer during the knockouts was Olivia Kuper-Harris. If she brings that magic to the stage again, she should advance as well.
