Tonight kicks off the Live Playoffs where artists from Team Alicia and Team Blake performed tonight for America’s votes. Tomorrow will feature live performances and results from Team Gwen and Team Adam where fans will have the opportunity to Tweet and vote for their favorite artists to remain in the competition.
We also learned that Team Gwen’s Johnny Gates was welcomed back to the show as her Coach Comeback artist.
As we’ve done with previous seasons, we’ll post highlights from each episode, including live Tweets, photos and videos, in-between the east and west coast airings. If you’re wanting to avoid spoilers, we recommend heading back to the site after the west coast airing to discuss the episode with us.
