Hmmm, Kelly seemed to be hinting at Nick perhaps getting another chance to experience the live rounds with the rest of the coaches in the studio eventually. The audio broke up but she says something around the 15:30 mark.

Yeah, Kelly just recorded vocals for song that might be released as a single from Montana, she would have to have a good set up to be able to use it for her own album. I think Kelly sounds like herself, she can change her tone depending on the song, for this one she went with a bit of a clearer tone and turned down the smoke in her voice.

The press release with details about the finale finally was released. It's not clear, but it sounds like the duets between the contestants and their coaches have been moved to Tuesday. The contestants will each perform a cover and an original song on Monday. Songland's Esther Dean, Ryan Tedder, and Shane McAnally will be working with each contestant and their coach to customize the original songs to fit with each artist and they will be showing more of the process. There will also be a group performance at the top of the show with the 5 finalists singing Collective Soul's "Shine." Tuesday's show will give all four coaches a performing slot. Blake is singing his duet with Gwen, Nick is performing with the rest of the Jonas Brothers, Kelly is singing her new single "I Dare You", John is doing a medley of his own songs. Bon Jovi, Lady Antebellum, KAROL G, and other guests TBD are also performing. https://www.nbcumv.com/news/media-alert-‘-voice’-announces-special-finale-performances?show=151062&network=33129

Some info on Micah's original song from the finale from a relative (mother?) of one of the writers on Facebook: I'm wondering how the pairings with the songs and writers were done with the contestants since Micah has talked a few times about really admiring Ryan Tedder and they probably would have matched up well. I love Shane's writing though. I suspect some people will complain about The Voice getting Songland's reject songs, but just because the song didn't make the show doesn't necessarily mean it's not as good as the ones that made it, they also need to try to fit them with the guest artists coming on the show and make sure they have a variety of lyrics, tempos, styles, etc.

I remember Cedrice said she worked with Kelly on two songs. I assumed that her save song was the second song, but I guess that didn't make sense since the contestants usually don't work on their save songs with their coaches. Most likely the contestants were coached on both the Top 17 song and the Semifinals songs before the Top 17 shows even aired. During the Team Kelly rehearsal videos Kelly asked Megan and Micah where they were like she had never seen the rooms they were in even though they were in the same rooms that they performed in last week. Recording the day after the results does seem fast, hopefully the contestants were at least told the quick turnaround was at least a possibility.

If social media followings are a reliable indicator and with contestants in their teens and twenties like they are I think they are, Micah's fanbase seems way bigger than Megan's, he's got 33,500 followers and she has 13,000. They both went live tonight and he had 550 viewers by himself and he gained 200 more when Allegra joined him. Megan had around 200 with Michael Williams on with her. I'd be surprised if Megan beat Micah the gap seems too big.

I think Megan may have said more than she was supposed to about her dedication for this week's song, but she gave some details about the message of the song to the people she's dedicating it to, it starts at the 2:00 mark.

If you knew anything about Kelly you'd know she would never intentionally do anything to hurt anyone on her team. I really don't understand why you would think she would want him to fail, she said she sees him in the finale since his Battles performance. Kelly gives her contestants a lot of freedom to choose their own songs, so it's not a surprise if both of them both really like their songs.

Micah said on Facebook Live that he was singing a song that her really loves this week. He said Kelly changed it a lot, but in a good way. He said she's good at pushing him to use parts of his voice that he doesn't normally use.

When Joanna mentioned Songland she said that if she got to the finale she would get to work with some of her original stuff, so it sounds like someone from Songland (former contestants? mentor writers?) will be writing a song with/for The Voice finalists. It seems like a cool idea to me, the quality of most of the originals on The Voice finale usually aren't that great and I think most of the songs from Songland are better. If the songs are tailored to or partially written by the contestants all the better.

I forgot if it was in this thread or the general thread someone wondered if they contestants had to return all the stuff they were sent wardrobe, cameras, lighting, mics, lighting equipment, etc. Mandi Thomas said during an interview on Thursday that her due date to return her wardrobe was the next day. So they do have to return it. I think the contestants are usually allowed to keep the wardrobe they actually wear on the show if it's not a rental, but not the shoes. Chevel was allowed to keep all of her cowboy boots she wore on the show, I think the winners do get to keep more stuff than the rest of the cast, Brynn was sent extra clothes as well.

Michelle McNulty, the casting director for The Voice, was answering questions on @thevoicecasting IG story about the online open call for Season 20. Starting on Monday people can sign up for an audition slot. Each person will be given 01:30 to sing, which is about enough for a verse and chorus. You can sing a capella, to a track, or play an instrument. It doesn't sound like anyone will be interacting with you live during the audition, a video will be recorded of you during your time and then sent to someone in casting. The auditions are going to be in June. All the details about how to sign-up etc. are on the learn more link on the main page of the casting site: https://www.nbcthevoice.com/index

Kelly talked about some of the difficulties of doing The Voice remotely during her interview with Seth Myers last night. She said she was having all sorts of problems on Tuesday, it took right up to the last minute for everything to start working for her. After Seth asked about working on her talk show Kelly went back and talked about her experience working on The Voice more. It seems like she's more stressed out about doing The Voice because of how many people are watching. She said she was getting pit sweat while shooting packages for The Voice because it's just her and her husband doing the lighting and filming and they don't really know what they're doing. Kelly also mentioned that because she and Blake are both located in such remote locations they are experiencing 5 to 6 second delays and she can't really look at the video because the audio isn't lining up so it's disorienting. The delay is also causing them to talk over each other and it's pretty impossible to take jabs at each other like they normally would because of the timing. Kelly is determined to find a way to still give Blake a hard time though.

There have been seasons where almost half the finale results show was pre-taped anyway. I don't think people realize that doing that is often necessary from a logistical perspective, not just accommodating the schedules of the guest performers, but also being able have enough time to load in and break down all the big sets that they use. Last season I don't think they had as many special tapings to get that stuff done, but I know they've also taped things before or after a regular taping for that stuff as well. Thinking about it, the taping schedule for the results show probably is going to be stressful because it's usually much more spread out than the time they have available now. I noticed Meghan installed a green screen at her house, it was behind her during her IG Live. I wonder if any of the other contestants have them as well, it would give them more options visually for backdrops during the performances.

Kelly has already invited Mandi and Cedrice to sing with her sometime during her Vegas residency. Kelly cancelled all her dates scheduled for this year, but new dates are going to be scheduled for 2021.

I don't see anything in that e-mail that goes against the rules. There is no rule that a person can't have multiple accounts. The rules only state that you need to use a valid e-mail address to create an account and the e-mail address has to belong to you and you are supposed to be the only one using your account to vote. If they said something like "use as many fake e-mail addresses as you can make up to create accounts to vote" then there's a problem.

In case anyone missed Chevel's IG Live performance since she did hers earlier than advertised (she went on at 3 p.m. MT time instead of 3 p.m. PT) it's archived on her Instagram for about two more hours. She sang "Mama Got the Chair" and "Everybody's Got a Story to Tell." I've only watched one other stream from this series, but Chevel's seemed kind of short.

I was referring to the coaches feedback while they are sitting in their chairs, that's all filmed immediately after the performance obviously because the audience is all there. It's very obvious the coaches are given the order the performances are going to be shown in on TV for the comments you're referring to.

John briefly acknowledged it saying that he made a mistake, but recovered well from it. I don't remember if any of the others said anything about it, it happened 3 months ago. The coaches always go right into their comments right after the performances so there's no way the coaches could be told to do or not do anything.

Someone asked Chevel on her Instagram Live last night if they shipped to Ireland, her answer was if it's listed on the order page as a country they ship to on the order page they do and if it's not then they don't. So whatever is listed on there are the countries where they have worked out international shipping, but if your country isn't on there you are out of luck.

Kelly has been doing several interviews today to promote her new single and of course she's also discussing how she's doing her TV jobs remotely in from her ranch in Montana. She mentioned that they are still working on figuring out how to do the lives for The Voice remotely. In general she's been having problems having enough bandwidth at times to be able to work, she's had to reschedule things when she's had problems. During her interview on the Hoda and Jenna hour for The Today show she had audio issues during the interview, she couldn't hear the clip of her new song when they played it and she couldn't hear the hosts when they were wrapping up the interview saying good-bye and her audio output also cut out. I highly doubt there will be much of anything that's truly "live" for the final three rounds of The Voice just because of all the logistical or technical things that could go wrong. I'm guessing Blake might have similar connectivity issues if his home in Oklahoma is in as a remote of location as Kelly's is in Montana. I'm thinking the most practical thing to do would be to assign each of the contestants a specific time window to record their performance and have a producer remotely monitor them recording their performance to ensure they only do that one take. Then send all the videos of the performances to the coaches and have them watch them at the same time and connect them through some type of conference call type thing. Kelly actually used Zoom to interview both Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick at the same time for her talk show so that might work for the coaches to be able to speak to each other, Carson, and the contestant whose performance they are reacting to.

Chevel posted a link in her IG story to pre-save Pre-saving upcoming singles is important to help them get placement or better placement on Spotify playlists you can do it regardless if your account is free or paid so hopefully a lot of people do it for each single she releases.

Chevel is taking requests for her next cover song she's posting on Saturday. She'd prefer the requests to stay in the country genre. Make a request by leaving a comment on this video. facebook.com/officialchevelshepherd/videos/2598837647104679/?notif_id=1586804503134309&notif_t=live_video_explicit

There was still additional filming that needed to be done for Wildfire, I don't think it was for a new movie.

All I will say is it was very obvious to everyone that he made a mistake, no need for the coaches to point out he messed up.
