Why is 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 12 not airing this week?

Unfortunately, we have received news that may disappoint 'The Voice' fans. NBC has made an unexpected decision not to broadcast the next stage of competition rounds for the current Season 23 of 'The Voice' on the scheduled date of April 10. Specifically, this means that the highly anticipated Knockouts Rounds will not be aired as planned. However, we can confirm that NBC has announced the rescheduled air date for the first episode featuring the Knockouts Rounds. So, mark your calendars and stay tuned for the thrilling and electrifying performances of the contestants, which will finally hit the screens next week.

When will 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 12 air?

'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 12 will premiere next on April 17, 2023, at 8 pm ET.

What to expect from 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 12?

Get ready to tune in for the exciting Knockout Rounds of Season 23 of the popular singing competition, 'The Voice.' This stage follows the Battle Rounds and marks the third phase of the competition. During the Knockouts, each singer is paired with a mega mentor, a well-known figure in the music industry, to receive guidance and support. The show has seen many famous personalities, including James Taylor, Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, and Usher in this role. This season, the iconic Reba McEntire takes on the role of mega mentor, adding another superstar to the show's already impressive lineup. Unlike the Battle Rounds, where contestants compete in duets, during the Knockouts, each artist performs a solo song of their choice.

After both performances, their coach must choose which singer they believe performed better. The winner advances to the Live Playoffs, earning a permanent spot on their coach's team, while the other contestant is eliminated from the competition. However, even if a contestant loses, they still have a chance to stay in the competition, as coaches can use their steal to save and add them to their own team. Having Reba McEntire as a mega mentor is a significant moment for the show. As a country music legend, her presence brings another level of expertise to the table. Additionally, this is a nostalgic moment, as McEntire previously served as a Battle Advisor for Team Blake in the show's inaugural season in 2011. With Blake Shelton coaching his last group of artists and bidding farewell to the show, having McEntire back feels like a fitting reunion, closing a full circle.
