NBC's The Voice will begin its live competition on three consecutive nights, starting April 16
For the first time in the history of NBC’s The Voice, live telecasts will begin with three consecutive nights of performances, real-time voting and results.
The Top 24 artists, six artists from each team, will perform on April 16 during the intense Live Playoff round and compete for a much-wanted spot in the Top 12.
At the end of the telecast, the artist with the most votes from each team will immediately advance to the Top 12. Over the next two nights, the 20 remaining artists will perform live.
Members of Team Alicia and Team Blake will perform Tuesday while Team Kelly and Team Adam artists will perform Wednesday. At the end of the Wednesday show, the top artist with the most votes from each team will be revealed and advance to the Top 12.
Starting with the April 23 live telecast, 'The Voice' will debut special themed weeks, including 'Story of the Song' (artists will reveal the story of what their song means to them – special memories, significant life moments, & covering artists who have inspired them), 'Fan Pick' (artists will each perform songs selected by Fans who have been submitting ideas via Xfinity’s Suggest-A-Song feature in The Voice Official App) 'Challenge Week' (artists will focus on overcoming an obstacle in any aspect of the performance).
The challenge could be a song or genre-based or could be about performance and stage presence. There will also be special duets (In addition to a solo performance, the Top 8 will team up to perform special duets that blend two songs in a unique way).
During the live playoff telecasts, viewers can cast up to 10 votes per artist per team via 'The Voice' Official App. Viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones will be able to watch and vote during the live show. Viewers in the West and Mountain time zones will also be able to cast their vote on 'The Voice' Official App and tweet their choice at the same time as the Eastern and Central time zones if they are following the @NBCTheVoice handle.
