Lost track of where the teams stand on The Voice.
That’d be understandable, because the show is breezing through Season 29.
Next come the knockouts, which begin Monday night. There are no steals or saves this round. The winner advances; the loser heads home.
Kelly Clarkson has the strongest team heading into the knockouts with four-three chair turns and a pair of very solid two-chair turns singing for her.
But the true standouts so far in Season 29 have been Alexia Jayy of Team Adam and Syd Millevoi of Team Legend, both of whom have already turned in a pair of finals worthy performances.
It’s worth reminding Voice fans that they won’t have a single bit of input on the Season 29 outcome. There will be no live shows. There will be no fan voting.
Here’s who remains on The Voice Season 29. The number in parenthesis is the number of chairs the singer turned in the blinds.
