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 KELLY PREDICTIONS

Three of Kelly’s four under-18 female phenoms made it through the knockouts a season after the original Idol guided another young female, Brynn Cartelli, to victory.

Would Kelly dare take all three — Abby Cates, Chevel Shepherd and Sarah Grace — to the Top 13? It’s tough to argue against it after their knockout round performances. And, let’s remember, this isn’t like voting in politics. Fans can vote for multiple contestants.

Abby was the most improved in the knockouts. Chevel’s the only female country singer on a show where female country singers have a track record of fabulous fan support. And Sarah’s been consistently impressive.

Most likely to break up the under-18 party: Kymberli Joye, who’s looked like anything but a backup singer with her fiery performances in the last two rounds.
