Season 15

This season featured two new elements: the Block, added during the Blind Auditions, allows the coaches to block one coach from getting an artist the coach turned around for.[2] The Save, added during the Knockouts, allowed a coach to save an artist from elimination; However, if another coach also pressed his or her Steal button, the contestant could then decide whether they wanted to go to a new team or stay with their coach.[1]

Brynn Cartelli was named the winner of the season. marking Kelly Clarkson's first win as a coach. At age 15, Cartelli became the youngest winner in the show's history[3] surpassing Sawyer Fredericks and Danielle Bradbery at 16;[4] Clarkson became the first new coach to win on her first attempt and the third female coach to win a season (being Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera). Additionally, runner-up Britton Buchanan became the highest-placing artist who advanced via an Instant Save, following Joshua Davis of season 8 and Chris Jamison of season 7, who both placed third.[3]

The fourteenth season was also notable when Levine selected Angel Bonilla, the first transgender contestant to turn a chair in the American version.

Coaches and Hosts

edit

The coaching lineup changed once again for the fourteenth season. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned as coaches, making them the only members of the coaching panel to be part of all fourteen seasons. Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson did not return and were replaced by new coach Kelly Clarkson, who was Team Blake's battle advisor in the 2nd season and key advisor for the Knockout Rounds in 13th season, and Alicia Keys who returned to the panel after a one season absence and participating in her third season as coach, Carson Daly returned for his fourteenth season as host.[5]

This season's advisors for the Battle Rounds were Julia Michaels for Team Adam, Shawn Mendes for Team Alicia, Hailee Steinfeld for Team Kelly, and Trace Adkins for Team Blake.[6]

The coaches perform a medley set in vintage Las Vegas in the promo. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton duet on "Fly Me to the Moon", Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys performed "Feeling Good".[7]

· Notes: At nineteen, Shawn Mendes became the youngest advisor on the American version of this show's history.

Week 5: Semifinals (May 14–15)

edit

The Top 8 performed on Monday, May 14, 2018, with the results following on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. This week's theme is "Duet Medley Songs".[12] In the semifinals, three artists automatically moved on to next week's finale, the two artists with the fewest votes were immediately eliminated and the middle three contended for the remaining spot in next week's finale via the Instant Save. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Jade (#2), Buchanan (#3), Cartelli (#4), Kaleb Lee (#6), Baird (#7) and Spensha Baker (#10).[13] In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes.

With the elimination of Rayshun LaMarr, Levine no longer had any artists remaining on his team, making it the first time since the 4th season (and the third time overall, with the first time being the 3rd season) in which none of his artists represented him in the finale. With the advancement of Cartelli to the finale, Clarkson became the third new coach to successfully get an artist on their team to the finale on their first attempt as a coach, the second being Alicia Keys, who coached Wé McDonald all the way to the finale of the 11th season, and the first being Usher, who coached Michelle Chamuel all the way to the finale of the 4th season. This also marked the first time ever that two female coaches were represented in the finale, with Cartelli representing Clarkson, and Buchanan representing Keys.

edit

The Final 4 performed on Monday, May 21, 2018, with the final results following on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. Finalists performed a solo cover song, a duet with their coach, and an original song. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Buchanan (#1 and #10), Cartelli (#3 and #6), Baker (#4) and Jade (#9).[14] Buchanan's "Where You Come From" and Cartelli's "Walk My Way" are the only songs that charted #1 on iTunes.

This is the first time that an artist who won the Instant Save in the semifinals didn't finish in the bottom two in the finals, with Buchanan finishing second. With Buchanan and Cartelli making it to the Top 2, this marked the first time in which the final results came down to two artists who have neither represented Shelton nor Levine, but two female coaches (Buchanan representing Alicia Keys, and Cartelli representing Kelly Clarkson), as well as the two coaches in the "middle chairs."
