Memphis native Jeremy Beloate runs on “The Voice” will continue.

During Tuesday’s results show on the NBC singing competition, Beloate was revealed as one of the contestants voted through to the finals by the public.

Beloate — a member of Snoop Dogg’s team — will be among five contestants to compete for a winner for the 26th season of “The Voice.” The other finalists are Sofronio Vasquez, Sydney Sterlace, Shye and Danny Joseph, who received the “Instant Save” on Tuesday.

The final two episodes of “The Voice” will air on Dec. 9 and 10 (the shows will also stream the next day on Peacock).

After being named a finalist, Beloate received a big hug from Snoop Dogg, who was visibly moved by his performance.

On Monday, Beloate performed a rendition of the Tom Jones classic “I (Who Have Nothing),” which received a standing ovation from all four judges.

Gwen Stefani praised him as a “rare” vocalist. “There’s nothing, no one likes you. It’s almost like you’re too good to sing songs,” she said.

He was also paired on Monday with Team Bublé contestant Sofronio Vasquez for a performance of the police’s “Every Breath You Take”. They were joined by the song’s original writer and singer Sting, who played bass during the performance and served as the show’s Mega Mentor.

Raised in Bartlett, Beloate was a student at Ellendale Elementary and Appling Middle School.

He later moved to Germantown and attended Briarcrest, where he was part of the school’s One Voice singing group, which competed on season 11 of the television series “America’s Got Talent.”

Since then, Beloate has appeared locally in productions at Theater Memphis and Playhouse on the Square, as well as performing at the Mid-South Fair.

After college, Beloate moved to New York City, where he has worked and recently landed a lead role in a new musical from “American Idol” alum and YouTube star Todrick Hall.
