Team Gwen is ready to perform live!
Tuesday, November 19, marked the start of the playoffs at Vote with the top five team Gwen. Unfortunately, Stefani could only choose two to take with her to live performances.
In the episode, Stefani, 55, brought on mgk (aka Machine Gun Kelly) as her playoff advisor. They practiced together with every remaining competitor.
The first performance was by Jose Luis, who sang a cover of Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama”.
Next, Jake Tankersley took the stage for a rendition of Cody Johnson’s “The Painter.” After the performance, he got emotional thinking about his wife.

Tankersley was followed by Gabrielle Zabosky who performed an emotional rendition of Roxette’s “Listen to Your Heart.”
Jan Dan then sang “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas, bringing Stefani to tears with the performance
The final performance was Sydney Sterlace, who chose to sing “Betty” by Taylor Swift. Afterwards, coach Michael Bublé called her a “superstar”.
When it was time for Stefani to make her decision, all five contestants were called to the stage.
“I’m proud and honored that each of you have allowed me to hang out with you and help you. This is really, really hard. The one thing that keeps saving me is that we’re all going home and this is just a moment in your life.” , the “Just a Girl” singer said.
She added: “Whatever you do with this moment will be the next part of your life. That gives me comfort. I go with those that I think I can teach and help them grow into that identity that they’re already showing me that they have.”
Stefani became emotional and expressed feeling “so proud” to be their coach – and learned “something from every” member of her team. Then she revealed her decision.
“The first person from Team Gwen I choose is Jan Dan,” she said.
In a one-on-one interview, Stefani opened up about the decision.

“This decision was super hard for me. I had to choose Jan Dan. He’s just, he’s too unique. He has so much taste and he has such a perspective that I just wanted to give him a chance to share that with America live,” she said.
For her second choice, Stefani chose “one that really turns me on and that I think I can train.”
It was Sterlace. “I had to go with Sydney. It was just a feeling. She moves me. She gets on that stage and I want to see more… I just can’t let her go home,” concluded Stefani. “These playoffs are so emotional.”
