‘The Voice' Gets Rid of One Major Thing for Season 29
'The Voice' Gets Rid of One Major Thing for Season 29 originally appeared on Parade. The Voice revealed exciting news for its 29th season today. It is returning with a new format, and the season will be labeled The Voice: Battle of Champions. As part of the new format, it will only feature three fan-favorite coaches, rather than the usual four: Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Adam Levine, all of whom have at least one win to their name. Buried in the release was the announcement that the semi-finals, which include the Top 9, and the finale, featuring the Top 4, will be voted on by a new voting block. The group will be comprised of super fans, including former Voice artists, who will be in the audience and also get to vote for their favorite as part of the in-studio audience voting. But bottom line, what that means is that there will be no live shows and no voting by America. Other changes to the format for the season are: 🎤 SIGN UP for our The Voice newsletter to get access to exclusive news, interviews, insider info, sneak peeks & more🎤 Blind Auditions Coaches compete against each other in the 'Triple Turn Competition' (vying for the most three-chair turns), with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round. The difference for this season is that the teams will be comprised of only 10 artists, rather than 14, making it necessary for the coaches to be pickier in their selections. Battles The coach with the most three-chair turns automatically earns a 'Super Steal' for the Battles. This coveted prize can only be used once and trumps any other coach's attempt to steal, guaranteeing a win. Knockouts Each coach brings back two fan-favorite artists from their teams in previous seasons to compete in an 'In-Season All-Star Competition.' All-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale. For this special episode, coaches call upon original Voice coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown. Related: The concept of superfans voting is not new to NBC. It was employed by another competition show, America's Got Talent: The Champions. It remains to be seen how it works for The Voice. The return of Clarkson in one of the red swivel chairs is a plus. She brought a lot of joy to her seasons as a coach, which came to an end when The Kelly Clarkson Show was moved from Los Angeles to filming in New York City. Possibly because of the new format, it became workable for her to juggle her schedule to film both shows concurrently. But before all this happens in Spring 2026, Season 28 of The Voice will return this fall with coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan,Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé. The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Streams next day on Peacock.

Kelly Clarkson describes her dating life as a 'dumpster fire' as she opens up on romance years after messy divorce
has explained the reason she refuses to date, as she opened up on her faltering love life years after divorcing ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The singer, 43, who was joined by daughter River Rose, 11, on stage during her Friday night show in Las Vegas, told the audience why she is still single. In a TikTok video recorded during her residency at Caesars Palace, she explained: 'Dating can be very difficult which is why I don't.' Kelly then compared dating in the spotlight to a 'dumpster fire'. The singer married her former manager Brandon in 2013 and soon welcomed their daughter and then son, Remington, nine. The pair split in 2020 and finalized their divorce two years later after a lengthy court battle over finances, property, and child custody. Kelly won full primary custody of her kids and moved to New York City. She told USA Today in 2023: 'I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn't be in LA. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can't really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, "The only other option would probably be New York".' At a show in Atlantic City in May, the singer got real with her audience, sharing that difficult relationships seemed to be a family tradition. Kelly's parents divorced when she was six. She said: 'We learn from our parents, [who] learn from their parents. We keep repeating the same horrible s*** over and over. Now, it turns out that I chose the same f***ing path.'
