The sixteenth season of the American reality television show The Voice premiered on February 25, 2019, on NBC. Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, and Blake Shelton returning as coaches from the previous season. John Legend was a new addition as a coach this season, replacing Jennifer Hudson. This became the eleventh season to feature three male coaches on the panel since season 10. For the second time, the show featured a fifth coach, Bebe Rexha, who selected contestants to participate in The Comeback Stage, replacing Kelsea Ballerini as the fifth coach.

This is the first season trios are allowed in the show, and also the first (and only) season to feature a "Live Cross Battles", similar to the Chinese counterpart of The Voice (The Voice of China and Sing! China) whereas artists compete against artists from opposing teams for a place in the Live Shows. "The Comeback Stage" twist also returned and it now extended until the "Live Cross Battles". The Live Shows now followed eliminations similar to the semifinals since season 9 with the artists receiving a higher vote count directly advances or lower vote count eliminated immediately.

Maelyn Jarmon was named the winner of the season, marking John Legend's first win as a coach and making him the second new coach (after Clarkson) to have a winning artist on his first attempt.

This is the last season to feature The Comeback Stage.

Coaches and hosts

On September 13, 2018, John Legend was confirmed as new coach, replacing Jennifer Hudson, who opted out from the coaching panel to serve as coach of The Voice UK. Legend joined returning coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson. Carson Daly returned for his sixteenth season as host. This is Legend's second appearance after he appeared as Team Adam's battle advisor on the 12th season. This is also Legend and Clarkson's second competition show before the show appearing Duets.This season's advisors for the Battle Rounds are Charlie Puth (who previously appeared in the 11th season in the series as an advisor) for Team Adam, Kelsea Ballerini (who was the coach for last season's "Comeback Stage") for Team Kelly, Khalid for Team Legend, and Brooks & Dunn for Team Blake.[1] [2] [3]

The Comeback Stage

This season's fifth coach, Bebe Rexha, mentored selected artists who did not make a team during the Blind Auditions as well as eliminated artists from later rounds of the competition, thus creating new rounds to The Comeback Stage. During the first round of competition, the six selected artists went head to head, two artists per episode, and Rexha selected a winner to move on to the next round. In the second round, Rexha brought back three artists who were eliminated during the Battle Rounds, giving them a chance to re-enter in the competition. These artists faced off against the three artists from the first round. The three winners performed in the Semifinals and one artist was eliminated. In the Finale, Rexha picked one artist to move forward and compete against another eliminated artist from the Live Cross Battles. The two remaining artists performed in the Top 24 Live Results Show for America's votes in the Twitter Instant Save, with the winner officially joining one of the four main teams of their choosing as a part of the Top 13.

The new Live Cross Battles round began with 32 artists remaining in the competition. Over the course of two weeks, eight pairs of artists performed each Monday. Coaches selected an artist from their team, then challenged a fellow coach to compete against, and this coach selected an artist as well. On the Tuesday results shows, the winner of each Cross Battle was revealed, for a total of 16 artists advancing to the next round based on America's votes. Each coach also had one save and one steal to use over the course of the Cross Battles. Coaches were only given ten seconds to press their button. 24 artists in total advanced to the next round of competition.[7] The table for the Cross Battles are reflected by the order of the results announcement and not by the order of performance.

Week 3: Playoffs (April 29 & 30)

The new Live Top 24 round took place on April 29, with results following on April 30. Eight artists from any four teams were saved by the public and advance to the Top 13. Each coach chose one of their own artists to advance. This becomes the only season in which a coach has had more than 4 artists in the Lives, as Shelton advanced 6 artists to the Live shows.

This season, same as last season, the artist who racked up the most streams on Apple Music during the voting window had their Apple Music votes multiplied by 5.[8] The recipient of the Apple Music multiplier was Gyth Rigdon. Kanard Thomas, the winner of the Comeback Stage Finals, competed against LB Crew who was eliminated in the Live Cross Battles. America chose LB through an Instant Save, and he completed the Top 13 by rejoining Team Adam.

Week 4: Top 13 (May 6 & 7)

The theme for this week was "Fan Night", meaning that the artists performed songs chosen by the fans.

Eliminations were similar to the semifinal rounds since season nine. The seven artists with the most votes directly advance to the Top eight, while the three artists with the fewest votes were instantly eliminated, and the middle three fought for the remaining spot in the Top 8 via Instant Save.

The recipient of the Apple Music multiplier this week was Maelyn Jarmon in addition to have her single reached #9 of the top 10 chart on iTunes.[9]

With the elimination of Jej Vinson, this was the very first time that Kelly Clarkson would only have one artist (Rod Stokes) going into the semifinals. With the eliminations of Mari and LB Crew, Levine no longer had any artists remaining on his team, making it the third consecutive season (and fifth overall) in which none of his finalists represented in the finale; however, this was the second season in which he had lost his entire team before the semifinals since season three, the first season which this situation occurred.

Week 5: Semifinals (May 13 & 14)

The Top 8 performed on Monday, May 13, 2019, with the results following on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The three artists with the most votes directly advances on to the finale. The two artists with the fewest votes were immediately eliminated and the middle three contended for the remaining spot in the Finale via the Instant Save. In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a The Beatles duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes.

With the elimination of Stokes, Clarkson no longer had any artists remaining on her team, thus breaking her two-season winning streak, and also marked the first season since her debut as a coach none of her artists would represent in the finale, and thus also became the first season after season 7 in which only two coaches would be represented in the finale. Shelton would also become the second coach to represent three artists to the finale, the first one being Levine in the 7th season. This was also the first time since the 8th season in which no female coach would be represented in the finale.

In addition, with the advancement of Jarmon to the finale, Legend became the fourth new coach to successfully coach an artist on his team to the finale on his first attempt as a coach, the third being Clarkson, who coached Brynn Cartelli all the way to the finale of the 14th season, the second being Alicia Keys, who coached Wé McDonald all the way to the finale of the 11th season, and the first being Usher, who coached Michelle Chamuel all the way to the finale of the 4th season.

The singles charted in Top 10 for iTunes charts this week were Jarmon (#3) and Rigdon (#9), with the former becoming the Apple Music multiplier recipient for the second straight week.[10]
