Voice Playoffs Begin; Coaches Eliminate Six Contestants

The Voice season 27 entered its Playoffs phase on April 28, 2025, with each coach—Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Michael Bublé—tasked with narrowing their teams from five to two contestants, setting the stage for the live shows. Mega mentors Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes assisted the artists in elevating their performances, but despite passionate renditions and positive feedback from the coaches, some contestants, such as San Antonian Britton Moore, were eliminated. Coaches emphasized that their difficult decisions were based on which artists were most ready to advance immediately, with Adam Levine and Kelsea Ballerini openly expressing respect for all their team members. The Playoffs are split across two nights, with the remaining teams performing in the next episode and only two contestants per team advancing—no steals allowed. Following the Playoffs, the competition will proceed to the Semi-Finals and then the Finale, where the final five will vie for the championship. The show continues to air on Mondays on NBC, with episodes also available for streaming on Peacock.
