A new episode of The Voice Season 26 aired on Monday, November 4, 2024, marking the final round of the Battles. This episode saw the Coaches judging the fifth and final round of the Battles, with some standout performances and surprising Steals. One notable Battle was between Danny Joseph and Deon Jones on Team Reba, who performed James Brown‘s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” leaving all the Coaches impressed. Coach Reba McEntire declared Danny Joseph the winner, but Gwen Stefani used her Steal button to keep Deon Jones in the competition.

The show will take a break on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, due to NBC‘s presidential election coverage.
