“The Voice” has finally entered the live performance part of the show, where viewers get a say in who moves forward in the competition.
Here’s a breakdown of the 17 artists who will be competing Monday night. On Tuesday night, “The Voice” will reveal the singers moving on to the show’s top nine.
Team Kelly
- Zae Romeo
Romeo, a 21-year-old singer from Texas, started out his “Voice” journey with Nick Jonas. But during the Knockout round, when Jonas chose to go with another singer, Clarkson chose to use her one and only steal of the round to snag Romeo.
“This is why we do the show, to work with special people like you who have a real beautiful gift and an artistic flair,” John Legend told Romeo during the audition round.
- Corey Ward
This season of “The Voice” marks Ward’s second time on the show. The 34-year-old singer from Hartsville, South Carolina, didn’t get a chair turn when he auditioned on Season 19 of “The Voice,” but he has found a fan in Kelly Clarkson this season.
“I love a passionate performer, and you are that,” Clarkson said during Ward’s audition. “A lot of people can sing, but not a lot of people can move me.”
- Kenzie Wheeler
Wheeler, a 22-year-old country singer from Florida, has a performing history that includes opening for country legend Charlie Daniels, the Deseret News previously reported.
- Gihanna Zoe
Zoe, a 17-year-old singer from California, began singing in church when she was just 6 years old. Zoe has been with Clarkson from the start of her “Voice” journey, choosing her over Jonas.
“You have such a big presence, for anyone, but especially a 17-year-old,” Clarkson said during the Knockout round.
Team Legend
- Zania Alake
Alake, a 34-year-old singer from Detroit, has been a mainstay on Team Legend this season. During the Knockout round, Jonas said Alake is “certainly one to watch” in the competition.
- Ryleigh Modig
Modig, an 18-year-old singer from Massachusetts, started her “Voice” journey with Clarkson. But when she lost to Ward during the Knockout round, the three other coaches attempted to steal her for their teams. Modig ended up going with Legend, who complimented her for having a “special way of making us feel your presence as an artist.”
- Pia Renee
Renee, a 37-year-old R&B singer from Illinois, is continuing her journey on “The Voice” with Legend. During the Knockout round, Jonas said Renee “raised the bar” with her performance of “What the World Needs Now is Love.”
- Victor Solomon
The 22-year-old singer from Illinois has impressed Legend from the beginning, when he came out and performed the song “Glory”’ — co-written by Legend — during his audition.
“I’ve literally zero times turned for someone singing my song,” Legend said, according to the Deseret News. “It’s just I scrutinize it more heavily than I normally would. But, I was like, ‘I don’t need to do that.’ I was like, ‘He’s doing some things I haven’t done that are better than what I would do with this song.’”
Team Nick
- Jose Figueroa Jr.
Figueroa Jr., a 34-year-old singer who lives in Kissimmee, Florida, has been with Team Nick from the start.
“Jose, you have the ability to hit your runs with precision. You’re out here swinging for the fences, and I like that ambition, that passion,” Jonas said during the Battle round.
- Rachel Mac
For being a one-chair turn, Mac has gone surprisingly far on the show, impressing the coaches with her improvements and vocal delivery each week. Mac solidified her spot in the competition as part of Team Nick after performing Jewel’s “Foolish Games” for the Knockout round.
“You’re growing exponentially every time we work together, and that’s why I think all of love this job so much,” Jonas told the 16-year-old singer.
- Andrew Marshall
Marshall, a 21-year-old singer from Massachusetts, has had an unusual journey on “The Voice.” He started with Jonas, got stolen by Blake Shelton during the Battle round and then, when Shelton went with another singer during the Knockout round, got stolen by Jonas and returned to where he started.
“I was dealt a really bad hand that I dealt myself on the Battle round,” Jonas said during the Knockout round. “And Blake made a terrible choice, and I get to capitalize on that and have Andrew back on my team.”
- Dana Monique
Monique, a 41-year-old singer from Houston, has continually impressed the judges with her passion and energy.
“You should be doing this on all the biggest stages,” Legend said after the singer performed Ike and Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits” during the Knockout round.
Team Blake
- Cam Anthony
Anthony, a 19-year-old singer from Philadelphia, has found success on Team Blake from the start. During the blind audition round, Shelton promised Anthony that if he joined his team, he wouldn’t add another stylistically similar singer to his team — improving Anthony’s chances of going far on the show.
Most recently, Anthony solidified his place in the competition with Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” during the Knockout round.
- Anna Grace
Grace started her “Voice” journey on Team Kelly, but when Clarkson decided to go with another singer during the Knockout round, Shelton stole the 20-year-old singer from Milwaukee for his team.
“People like you are really important to have on this show because you’re so different,” Shelton said after Grace brought a unique twist to The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young.”
“Wow, what a cool voice you have,” he said.
- Pete Mroz
At 45, Mroz is one of the oldest singers in the competition. Being on “The Voice” has allowed him to rekindle his dream of being a country superstar.
“This show is such an amazing opportunity to show my family and especially my son that you never stop chasing your dreams,” Mroz said during his audition. Now, Mroz has made it to the top 17.
- Jordan Matthew Young
Originally from Roosevelt, Utah, Young has been touring and playing blues music for the last decade, according to a news release sent to the Deseret News. But the singer’s career took a hit during the pandemic, so recently, he has been making a living fixing guitars and building houses with his dad.
Most recently, for the Knockout round, Young sealed his place on Team Blake with his rendition of the Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels.”
Note: At the start of Monday night’s’ episode, “The Voice” will reveal the winner of the four-way knockout, which featured one singer from each team, saved by their coach during the Battle rounds earlier this season.
The four singers from the knockout are: Savanna Woods, Carolina Rial, Devan Blake Jones and Emma Caroline. One singer will move on to round out the top 17.
