What To Know

The Voice Season 30 Live Shows began with the final artist in the Top 13 revealed.
The first half of the group, from Adam Levine and Queen Latifah’s teams, took the stage for Y2K night on November 9.
Three will be eliminated at the end of the night.

The Live Shows are officially here on Season 30 of The Voice. The first of six Live Shows kicked off on November 9. Before the performances could begin, the final artist in the Top 13 was revealed after America’s vote.

During Cut Week, each coach brought three of their seven artists to the next round, but one of them gained a fourth member after viewers voted for their favorites of the 16 who did not make it through. The final artist to take a spot in the Top 13 is: Kyle Davis from Kelly Clarkson‘s team.

The Top 13’s performances will be split over the November 9 (Queen Latifah and Adam Levine‘s teams) and November 16 (Clarkson and Riley Green‘s teams) episodes, both of which have a Y2K Night theme. The artists will be singing songs from the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the three with the least amount of viewer votes will be sent home next week.

Mia Knight (Team Queen)

The night began with a performance from Mia Knight, representing Latifah’s team. She sang Clarkson’s hit “Miss Independent” for the first Live Show.

“I love it! You almost sing it closer to the way I do it live, which I love. It was so good. Awesome!” Clarkson raved. Latifah told her artist, “You killed that. I loved that. You just ate that up. You ate those vocals up. You ate that sweet little bridge into that big, big note. And you look amazing.”

Dakota Cohen

Dakota Cohen was Levine’s first team member to hit the stage. As one of the artists who had to perform for her spot during Cut Week, Dakota had a lot on the line with her performance of Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

The performance earned Cohen a standing ovation from the judges. “That was amazing, and you know what, you are carrying the torch. You are a tried and true rock ‘n roll singer,” Levine promised. “You really have something that no one else in this competition has. I don’t have it. You have this rasp. Just be so proud of yourself.”
