The Voice will air its final knockout round episode Monday night, and it will include a true rarity.
County singers Jaelen Johnston and Hailey Wright squared off in the battle round, singing “Neon Moon” by Brooks & Dunn.
Jaelen won the match, but Hailey advanced as well, courtesy of a save by coach Kelsea Ballerini.
Now Kelsea has decided to match them up again in the knockout round.
The first difference: Each will sing solo this time around.
The second: Both can’t survive. The only coach with a steal left heading into Monday’s show is Kelsea.
Here’s a list of all the matchups we’ll see Monday. And with six scheduled for a two-hour show, there should be no montages.
Lost track of who has already advanced to the Top 20 playoffs? Here’s the rundown.
Team Adam: Britton Moore, Ethan Eckenroad, Luica Flores-Wiseman, Kolby Cordell (steal)
Team Kelsea: Tinika Wyatt, Iris Herrera, Alanna Lynise
Team Legend: BDii (Brian Darden), Ari Camille (steal), Bryson Battle
Team Michael: Angie Rey (steal), Kaiya Hamilton, Barry Jean Fontenot
You can follow the links below to learn more about the artists. Six have released music since Season 27 of The Voice began.
