Lehigh Valley Arts School graduate Shye Roberts heading to the finale of “The Voice”

A recent graduate of Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts will advance to the final round of NBC’s “The Voice.”

On Monday, 18-year-old Shye Roberts performed “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile as part of her live performance. She was one of eight contestants who performed, and viewers voted for her and four others to advance to the final round.

Roberts, a 2024 graduate of the charter school, is on singer Michael Bublé’s team. Her performance on Monday impressed coaches as singer Gwen Stefani told Roberts that she had a unique, identifiable voice.

“I look forward to your future,” she said.

Singer Reba McEntire told Roberts that her voice stood out, describing it as round, pure and clear.

“You enchant me,” she said. “I love your singing.”

Bublé told her that he had never heard anyone sound like her in the competition.

“You’re the real deal, Shye,” he said.

Now Roberts and four others will compete in the final episodes, scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Roberts first appeared on “The Voice” during her blind audition in October. Her performance of Five for Fighting’s “Superman” sparked a four-chair round from the judges. She skipped her high school graduation to attend her audition.

She later performed Justin Beiber’s “Lose Yourself” and then Katy Perry’s “The One that Got Away.”

Last week she performed One Direction’s “Story of My Life.”

“The Voice” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
