Renzo, an elementary school science teacher, is capturing the hearts of fans on The Voice season 27 after his previous run on American Idol, where he reached the Top 10 in season 16. With a strong performance history this season, he is now one of five finalists vying for the coveted title and a record deal. The conclusion of the two-part finale takes place on Tuesday, May 20, where the winner will be announced.
Throughout the season, Renzo has consistently impressed the judges, particularly with his rendition of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” during the finale. His journey began with a standout Blind Audition performance of “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which earned him almost universal admiration, turning chairs from all but Kelsea Ballerini, who felt she wasn’t the best fit for him. Ultimately, he joined Team Legend, where he has flourished under John Legend’s mentorship.
Interestingly, Legend had to block Adam Levine, who has expressed playful regret since the audition, lamenting that Renzo could have been on his team. This rivalry adds an entertaining twist to the competition, as Levine’s lighthearted reflections about missing out on Renzo have become a running joke among the cast and crew.
Meanwhile, while this season features some new faces among the judges, Michael Bublé is the only returning coach alongside Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire, creating a fresh dynamic in the competition.
As Renzo continues to make his mark, his story is one of resilience and talent, transforming past experiences into stepping stones toward greater success. Fans and viewers alike are eagerly awaiting the finale, hopeful that Renzo’s journey will end in triumph.
