The Voice will hold its first ever Cut Week Monday night.
And by the end of the night, 15 of the remaining 28 singers on the show will be eliminated.
The other 13 will advance to live shows that begin on Monday, Nov. 9.
How will this work?
Each coach will chose two singers to automatically advance to the live shows.
Then the remaining five singers will perform, after which the coach will select a third singer to move on to the lives.
The public will then vote on who deserves spot number 13 in the lives, though the show hasn’t yet explained how that will work.
Here’s Voice Views’ look at who remains on each two and who’s likely to get those automatic spots in the live shows.
Team Riley
Allie Rae, 15, Sante Fe., Texas
Cade Mower, 35, Bluffdale, Utah
Everett Bounds, 23, Hesperia, Calif.
Ferryn & Brinkley, 20 and 17, respectively, Sevierville, Tenn.
Joe Henley, 19, Grand Bay, Ala.
Kayleigh Mathews (steal), 31, Tucson, Ariz.
Keiyana Osmond, 32, Salt Lake City, Utah
Prediction: I’d bet a fair amount of money that the sister duo of Ferryn and Brinkley will get one of the automatic spots in the lives. Their battle round effort was one of the show’s best. Kayleigh Mathews has been stellar vocally, but it’s hard to imagine a coach giving the second bye to a singer who just joined his team. So the second spot might go to 15-year-old Allie Rae and her country twang.
Team Queen
Alt Bloom, 36, Whitefish, Mont.
Big Country, 37, Tacoma, Wash.
Bryan Jaymes, 39, Baton Rouge, La.
Chari, 31, Atlanta, Ga.
Destinee Monroe (steal), 32, Atlantic City, N.J.
Lillie Kolich, 25, Albuquerque, N.M.
Mia Knight, 16, Holmdel, N.J.
Prediction: Team Queen is absolutely stacked and every singer on this list shined in the battles. Big Country is a potential winner and should get one of the byes. I’d be tempted to give the other to Bryan Jaymes, who has a stage presence few males on Season 30 can match. It’s a shame only three singers from this group can advance. I’m betting the wild card might come from this team.
Team Adam
Amanda Mikkel, 31, Dayton, Ohio
Brandon Diaz (steal), 29. Ashburn, Va.
Connor Closs, 23, Middletown, N.J.
Dakota Cohen. 25, Los Angeles, Calif.
Evan James, 22, Highland, Mich.
Lexi Stephens, 23, Albany, N.Y.
Owen Uffens, 18, Rigby, Idaho
Prediction: Lexi Stephens will get a bye and deserves one based on her performances so far. Amanda Mikkel is Adam’s other four-chair turn, but Adam might be tempted to hold onto his male country singer Evan James since he’s tried so, so hard for so, so long to land country singers for his team.
Team Kelly
Anna McElroy, 26, Mobile, Ala.
Brianna Cameron, 13, Union, N.J.
Brooklyn Marie, 14, Alexandria, Minn.
Koumba Diallo, 15, Delano, Calif.
Kyle Davis, 61, Prince George, Va.
Marcus Ladden Jr. (steal), 19, Atlanta, Ga.
Nina Howland, 24, New York, New York
Prediction: Nina Howland needs to get a bye. She’s been one of the show’s top performers after two rounds. My second favorite vocal performance from this group in the battles came from Anna McElroy. After that, this is a team of extremes. Kelly has the oldest singer on the show (four-chair turn recipient Kyle Davis) and three of the youngest (Brianna, Brooklyn Marie and Koumba). Koumba has been the most impressive of the trio so far.
