## Summary

Season 30 of *The Voice* has introduced Cut Week, a new phase after the Battle Round that replaces the Knockout Round. It will determine which singers reach the Live Shows, with coaches facing a major set of cuts in what is described as the largest elimination in the programme’s history.

Kelly Clarkson, Riley Green, Queen Latifah and Adam Levine each have seven contestants. Each coach will choose three to advance directly, while eight contestants overall will bypass Cut Week; the remaining five per team will perform for one final place. The article says viewers will learn who advances the following week, and names Marcus Ladden Jr. and Kayleigh Mathews as contestants stolen from Team Queen.
