Now that the Blind Auditions are wrapped up, the excitement escalates as we enter the Battle Rounds of Season 28 of The Voice! This phase is where the competition heats up, as Artists from the same team face off in head-to-head duets, fighting for the Coaches’ favor and a spot in the next rounds. Typically, the Coaches have the final say in song selection and pairings; however, this season brings a fresh twist, allowing the Artists themselves to choose their own partner for the battle.
During these Battle Rounds, the Coaches are on hand to provide invaluable guidance and feedback. But they won’t be flying solo; each team has also enlisted a Battle Advisor, a celebrated music star brought on board to share their wealth of experience and expert insights.
Reflecting on past seasons, we’ve seen a galaxy of incredible celebrities lending their support. In Season 27, for example, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo aided Coach Michael Bublé. Coach Adam Levine enlisted Kate Hudson, while first-time Coach Kelsea Ballerini teamed up with Little Big Town. Coach John Legend welcomed Coco Jones for guidance. This year promises equally stellar support for the hopeful 48 Artists advancing from the Blind Auditions.
