We’re finally here! The Voice Season 15 LIVE Playoffs begin on Monday November 12. Here’s how it will all go down:
The Top 24 contestants will perform on Monday. Yes, it’s A LOT to get through in two hours, but the show has done it before. After overnight voting, the results will be revealed on Tuesday. As always, the Top 2 vote getters from each team will move on to the finals, with the coaches–Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Blake Shelton–each choosing one team member to save.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. Fifth coach, Kelsea Ballerini chose Ayanna Joni and Lynnea Moore, two finalists from the digital series The Comeback Stage to compete for a 13th spot in the Live Finals. Kelsea chose the two contestants from a pool of six hopefuls who didn’t turn a chair at the Blinds. The Comeback winner will be determined by the real time Instant Save vote during Tuesday’s 1 hour results show. After, she’ll choose a team on which to compete. No waiting for chair turns!
