Switching things up! A preview for the second night of playoffs on The Voice<\/em><\/a> season 27 teased host Carson Daly<\/strong> telling coaches John Legend<\/strong>, Adam Levine<\/strong>, Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong> and Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong> about a \u201csurprise twist.\u201d The coaches were shocked at the mystery revelation, which left fans curious about what\u2019s to come.\n<\/p>\n Fans will have to wait until the new episode on May 5, 2025, to find out exactly what the twist will be. However, they\u2019ve already begun to speculate about what could be in store for the coaches and contestants. The most popular theory is that each coach will be allowed to bring one eliminated artist back to their teams for the live shows, which would make the total number of singers in the lives 12 instead of eight.<\/p>\n \u201cMy guess is that they\u2019ll get to bring someone back to their team? Or bring someone back in some capacity? That\u2019s the only thing that makes sense,\u201d one fan wrote in a Reddit discussion about the twist.<\/p>\n \u201cBringing someone back is the only thing that makes sense. But to me, it\u2019s sort of ridiculous. They cut from 5 to 2, and these people have already sung multiple times for their coaches. So if they make them come back, sing again \u2026 OK, at this point, they should have just let them keep 3,\u201d another user added.<\/p>\n John seemingly dropped a clue pointing to this theory in the first episode of the playoffs when he mentioned that the pressure was on for the coaches because they could only pick two artists to send to the lives instead of the usual three. Perhaps they will get to have three after all.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, another fan theorized that The Voice<\/em> will be \u201casking America to vote\u201d to bring back an eliminated artist, similar to how they did The Comeback Stage with Kelsea in season 15.<\/p>\n If the coaches get to bring a contestant back, viewers are already vying for Adam to call up Britton Moore<\/strong><\/a>, who was eliminated during the first night of playoffs on April 28, 2025. He performed a chilling rendition of Keane\u2019s \u201cSomewhere Only We Know,\u201d and Adam said he \u201csang the crap out of the song.\u201d However, the coach ultimately decided to select Lucia Flores-Wiseman<\/strong> and Kolby Cordell<\/strong> to move forward in the competition. Many fans of Britton were outraged by the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cDONEEEEE with this show after you robbed him like that,\u201d one user commented after The Voice<\/em> shared Britton\u2019s performance on TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another fan added, \u201cHands down the best this season! CANNOT BELIEVE HE WENT HOME. He was my pick to win.\u201d<\/p>\n On Instagram<\/a>, one fan commented, \u201cHope the twist announced is coaches get to bring someone back on for lives and it\u2019s Britton, how did he let him go? Listened to this clip over and over \u2014 more than any of the performances tonight!\u201d<\/p>\n During the first night of playoffs on April 28, 2025, fans watched Adam\u2019s and Kelsea\u2019s teams \u2014 each consisting of five artists \u2014 perform solo acts and hear feedback from the coaches. Then, at the end of the episode, Adam and Kelsea each chose two artists<\/a> to move forward to the live shows, eliminating the rest of their teammates.<\/p>\n This same format will continue during the May 5, 2025, episode, with Michael\u2019s and John\u2019s teams. After their artists perform, the coaches will each select two singers to move on to the lives. This will bring the total number of artists performing in the live shows to eight \u2014 unless a twist adds more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Is the Twist on \u2018The Voice\u2019 Season 27?<\/h2>\n
