The nineteenth season of the American reality television series The Voice premiered on October 19, 2020, on NBC. Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend returned as coaches for their nineteenth, sixth, and fourth seasons, respectively. Gwen Stefani rejoined the panel for her fifth season, after being replaced by Nick Jonas the previous season. Meanwhile, Carson Daly returned for his nineteenth season as host.[1]

Starting from this season, the studio version of all performances are released on YouTube Music instead of iTunes as before. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the bonus multiplier for downloads is not present for the second consecutive season as performances being recorded away from the studios; additionally, the entire season is filmed without a physical studio audience.[2]

Carter Rubin was named the winner of the season, marking Gwen Stefani's first win as a coach and Rubin as the youngest male winner (and second-youngest winner overall at the time of his victory, only behind season 14's winner Brynn Cartelli). After five attempts, Stefani also became the fourth female coach to win the competition, following Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, and Kelly Clarkson.[3]

Coaches and hosts

On June 16, 2020, NBC announced that there would be a change in the coaches for this season. Blake Shelton would return for his nineteenth season, Kelly Clarkson for her sixth, and John Legend for his fourth. However, Nick Jonas opted not to return, allowing the return of Gwen Stefani after a one-season hiatus, marking her fifth season as a coach on the show.[4] Carson Daly returned as host.

This season's advisors for the Battles were: Kane Brown for Team Blake, Leon Bridges for Team Kelly, Miguel for Team Legend, and Julia Michaels for Team Gwen. Usher served as a mega-mentor for all teams during the Knockouts.

Battles

The Battles began on November 9, 2020. The advisors for this round were Leon Bridges for Team Kelly, Julia Michaels for Team Gwen, Miguel for Team Legend, and Kane Brown for Team Blake. The coaches can steal one losing artist from other coaches and save one losing artist on their team. However, the team coach may only hit their button to save an artist after it is clear that no other coach is going to steal the artist.[5] Artists who win their battle or are stolen by another coach advance to the Knockout Rounds.

Knockouts

In the Knockouts round, each coach can steal one losing artist from another team. Artists who win their knockout or are stolen by another coach advance to the Live Playoffs. Former coach Usher will serve as the mega mentor for all teams in this round.[6] [7] This season, each saved artist from the Battle Rounds will go head-to-head in the four-way Knockout. Results for the head-to-head are decided by a public vote, with the winner announced during the first week of Live Shows.
