Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Monday’s episode of The Voice will feature a brand new All-Star showdown.

Each coach is bring back two past standouts to compete on their behalf in knockout style matches.

And the coach who wins the most will receive a second spot in this year’s season finale.

Returning artists include Season 1 champ Javier Colon and Season 9 champ Jordan Smith for Adam Levine; Season 17 champ Jake Hoot and Season 21 champs Girl Named Tom for Kelly Clarkson; and Season 16 champ Maelyn Jarmon and Season 27 finalist Renzo for John Legend.

Thanks to publicity photos released by the show, we also know who will sing against whom.

Fans will not determine the winner of The Voice

Those matches will pit:

Maelyn (Team Legend) vs. Jordan Smith (Team Adam)

Javier Colon (Team Adam) vs. Jake Hoot (Team Kelly)

Girl Named Tom (Team Kelly) vs. Renzo (Team Legend)

My guess is that these matches will be aired during the second half of Monday’s show, which airs from 9 to 11 p.m.

The show will open with the remaining three knockout round matches.

The following singers have already made the semifinals on The Voice: Alexia Jay and Jeremy Keith of Team Adam, Liv Ciara and J.W. Griffin of Team Kelly and Syd Millevoi and Lucas West of Team Legend.
