For the first time, NBC and Peacock are simulcasting The Voice Live Shows in all time zones, allowing viewers across the country to watch the performances together and vote in real time to send their faves through to the next round. This year, the Top 13 is split across two episodes with the artists from Teams Queen and Adam taking the stage on Nov. 9 and Teams Kelly and Riley getting their turn on Nov. 16. Results for each set of performances comes at the end of the episode.
During the first ever Cut Week on Nov. 2, coaches Kelly Clarkson, Riley Green, Queen Latifah and Adam Levine selected three artists to create a Top 12. Since then, power was turned over to America who selected a 13th performer from the eliminated artists to join them and will have all the say on who advances through the remainder of the competition.
For the first three rounds of the Live Shows the coaches and artists will select songs within that week’s theme. First up for the Top 13 is Y2K Week, requiring each artist to perform a hit song from the late ’90s or early 2000s.
The night started with a group performance of the Backstreet Boys megahit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” including the subtle reveal (due to their presence on stage) that Kyle Davis of Team Kelly was voted back into the competition after being eliminated in Cut Week.
Read on for our recap of the performances The Voice’s “Top 13 Part 1,” which aired Nov. 9 on NBC and Peacock.
