# The Voice (American TV series) season 18

The eighteenth season of the American reality television series The Voice ran from February 24 to May 19, 2020, on NBC. Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend returned as coaches for their eighteenth, fifth, and third season, respectively. Nick Jonas joined the panel for his first season as a new coach, replacing Gwen Stefani. Meanwhile, Carson Daly returned for his eighteenth season as host.
This is the third season in The Voice since seasons season 1 and season 3 where the team sizes was not 12, as it was reduced to ten. This is also the first season to have five artists compete in the finale, and the first time each coach would guarantee to have at least one artist representing in the finale since season two. For the first time since season 2, artists are not awarded any multiplier bonuses for streams or iTunes downloads due to the performances being recorded away from the studios (except for the finals) as a measure against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Todd Tilghman was named the winner of the season, marking Blake Shelton's seventh win as a coach, making him the oldest winner to date in the show's history – following Josh Kaufman in the 6th season. For the first time, the first artist in the Blind Auditions went on to win the entire season.
During the finale, Daly foregoes the announcement of third place but instead proceeding to announce Tilghman winning the season, without revealing the final placements for Thunderstorm Artis or Toneisha Harris. However, through The Voice Twitter page, Harris was revealed to finish as runner-up, making her currently the highest-placed African American female singer in Voice history.

## Coaches and hosts

In October 2019, it was announced that Nick Jonas would join the show as a coach for this season replacing Gwen Stefani who left the panel due to her Just a Girl Las Vegas Residency. This is his second appearance, as he was the Battle Advisor for the 8th season for Team Christina. Blake Shelton returned for his eighteenth season as a coach, John Legend for his third, and Kelly Clarkson for her fifth. This is the twelfth season to feature three male coaches on the panel.
This season's advisors for the Battles are: Dua Lipa for Team Kelly, Joe and Kevin Jonas (Jonas Brothers) for Team Nick, Ella Mai for Team Legend, and Bebe Rexha (who was the coach for 16th season's Comeback Stage) for Team Blake.
James Taylor served as a mega-mentor for all teams during the Knockouts.

## Battles

The battles started on March 23. The advisors for this round were Dua Lipa for Team Kelly, Joe and Kevin Jonas for Team Nick, Ella Mai for Team Legend, and Bebe Rexha for Team Blake. The coaches can steal one losing artist from other coaches and save one losing artist on their team. However, the team coach may only hit their button to save an artist after it is clear that no other coach is going to steal the artist. Artists who win their battle or are stolen by another coach advance to the knockouts.

## Live remote shows

This season, the number of weeks of live shows was reduced to three, consisting of the playoffs, semi-final, and the finale.
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, the live shows were changed to remote shows with performances aired pre-recorded performances at the contestants' and coaches' homes. The instant save is done via The Voice Official App in the playoffs and semi-final, continuing the shift from Twitter to the official app that took place in season 17.
Additionally, the artists did not have studio versions of their covers released on iTunes or Apple Music, meaning that for the first time since the introduction in season 3, there were no streaming votes or bonuses awarded. However, the finalists did have studio versions of their original song and coach duet from the finale released, although they did not contribute to the artists' vote tally.

### Week 1: Playoffs (May 4–5)

The live playoffs round constituted episodes 12 and 13. For the first time there is a Top 17. On Monday, James Taylor opened the show with a performance with the remaining knockouts artists, followed by the announcement of the four-way knockout's winner. The winner joined the Top 17, who all performed live from their homes using a production kit sent to them. Coaches mentored and gave feedback from their homes: Kelly from Montana, Blake from Oklahoma, and both John and Nick from Los Angeles.
On Tuesday's live episode, one artist from each team advanced based on the country's vote, and each coach got to save one of their own artists. The remaining artists from each team with the highest votes will have a chance to compete for the wild card as seen on season 17. These nine artists advanced to the semi-final.

With the advancement of Thunderstorm Artis to the finale, Nick Jonas became the fifth new coach to successfully coach an artist on his team to the finale on his first attempt as a coach, after Usher (Michelle Chamuel in season 4), Alicia Keys (Wé McDonald in season 11), Kelly Clarkson (Brynn Cartelli in season 14), and John Legend (Maelyn Jarmon in season 16).

### Week 3: Finale (May 18–19)

The finale comprised episodes 16 to 18. The final 5 performed on episode 16, with the final results following on episode 18; meanwhile, episode 17 was a cutdown show. On Monday, each artist performed an original song and a cover, and then performed a duet with their respective coach on Tuesday.
For the first time this season, artists had studio versions of their performances released on iTunes and Apple Music, with each artist's original song and coach duet being released. However, unlike previous seasons, a purchase or stream of these performances did not factor into voting. Todd Tilghman from Team Blake became the first and the only vocalist of the season to reach top 10 on iTunes. His original song's studio recording hit #1 on iTunes Overall Chart and iTunes Country Chart.
With both Tilghman and Harris finishing in top two, this marked the second time in which Shelton's artists have finished in the top two since season 3 (Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott).
