The Voice has named 12 contestants who will advance to the live shows in Season 30 after its first-ever Cut Week. The two-hour episode cut the field from 28 singers, while a viewer vote will decide which of 16 remaining artists claims the final spot in the Top 13.
Each coach first sent two singers on their team to safety. The other five performed, and the coach selected one more artist to join them in the live shows, bringing each team to three confirmed contestants.
Queen Latifah chose Lillie Kolich, alongside previously secured artists Mia Knight and BigCountry. Adam Levine’s team will include Dakota Cohen, Lexi Stephens and Connor Closs. Riley Green selected Joe Henley, joining Cade Mower and duo Ferryn and Brinkley. Kelly Clarkson picked Brianna Cameron, who will compete with Koumba Diallo and Anna McElroy.
The remaining 16 singers are eligible for the viewer-selected place in the Top 13. Voting opened at 10:55 p.m. ET on Monday and is scheduled to close at 3 a.m. ET on Tuesday; viewers can vote by SMS or TikTok.
The live shows begin next week. Cut Week also marked the largest elimination in the show’s 30-season history, according to the episode’s coverage.
