Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The live playoffs are set for Monday night on The Voice, and get ready for a night filled with great music.

That’s because every member of the Top 24 will perform. And with 24 performances to squeeze into a two-hour show, there won’t be much time for idle chatter.

If you’re new to the show, here’s how it works. Fan voting will determine two of the singers who advance on each team. That’s right: You get to vote for the first time in Season 15. Those results will be announced Tuesday.

Then each coach will be able to save a third member of his or her team to advance to the Top 13.

Why a Top 13?

Because Tuesday’s show will mark performances from the Top 2 finishers on the Comeback Stage. They’ll sing for fans support during the first Twitter save of Season 15.

TEAM BLAKE PREDICTIONS

After voters’ two finalists are announced, Blake might have the toughest decision of any coach on The Voice. Every member of this team turned in an excellent performance during the knockouts.

That said, three clearly stood out to me: Dave Fenley and his taken on “Stuck on You” by Lionel Richie, Michael Lee and that rousing rendition of “Whipping Post” and, perhaps most of all, Chris Kroeze with that brilliant reworking on “Burning House.”

If iTunes versions of knockout round songs were released, here’s betting those three coves would have performed very, very well. Of course, if those three advance, that would leave out show favorite Kirk Jay. The show did us a disservice by not airing his battle round match.
