New this season, each saved artist from the Battle Rounds will go head-to-head in the first-ever Four-Way Knockout. Instead of being decided by the coaches, the Four-Way Knockout will be voted on by viewers. The winner will be revealed in the first week of Live Shows.
The Voice Season 18
Season 18 of The Voice premiered at 8PM on February 24, 2020 on NBC and will air Mondays at 8 PM. John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their third, fifth and eighteenth seasons, respectively. Nick Jonas joined the panel as a new coach, replacing Gwen Stefani. Meanwhile, Carson Daly returned for his eighteenth season as host.
On the question of whether or not The Voice Season 18 will continue airing amid the coronavirus pandemic, production has done some adjustments. For the first time ever, there will be only three weeks of Live Shows: the Playoffs, the Semi-Final, and the Finale. That’s a big drop compared to six weeks of Live Shows in Season 17.
As to the voting system, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists and artists who receive the fewest votes will be eligible for the “Instant Save”. America will then save their favorite performer by voting on “The Voice” app or NBC.com. The artists with the fewest number of votes will be “sent home” or eliminated each week.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, the three weeks of live shows will air as lives done at each contestant’s and coach’s home.
