The performance show aired December 9, 2024, with the five finalists each taking on an uptempo song and a ballad.
What made Snoop Dogg emotional?
Beloate sang Jackie DeShannon’s “What the World Needs Now.” The December 10, 2024 recap by Raechal Shewfelt for Yahoo Entertainment described Snoop as visibly emotional, with tears rolling down his face. Snoop summed up the moment this way: “Music is not always about how it sounds. It’s about how it makes you feel.” Yahoo Entertainment’s recap identifies the episode as the finale performance show.

What happened on the first night of the finale?
The performance show gave each finalist two contrasting opportunities: an uptempo song and a ballad. The recap framed the evening as a toast to the season; Martha Stewart also brought the coaches boozy eggnog. The night was about the contestants’ performances, not the winner announcement.
