The Voice Monday March 23 Battle Pairing Spoilers

The Voice season 18 Blind Auditions finished earlier this week. Now it’s time for team members to pair up for epic Battles! Check out song and match spoilers for Monday’s (March 23) episode below.For the first time since season one, the teams are comprised of 10 members rather than 12. On one hand, fans may not like the downsizing. But on the other there are several advantages to having smaller teams.

First, The Voice aired five Blind Audition episodes, which is typical. But 8 fewer contestants meant absolutely NO MONTAGES. Viewers saw every last one chair turn! And there was even room to spare for a couple of no turns in each show. Also, it didn’t hurt that Season 17 winner, Jake Hoot from Team Kelly Clarkson was the competition’s first true one chair turn winner. It made sense to play those auditions up a little.

As far as the round’s format is concerned, In the upcoming Battles, reportedly each coach gets a save and a steal. The four saves will perform in a four way knockout, and America will choose the winner.

The Voice Coaches’ Celebrity Mentors

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! As always, each coach has brought a celebrity mentor on board to help get their teams ready for battle. Nick Jonas will team up with his brothers Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas. Kelly Clarkson will join forces with pop star Dua Lipa, John Legend and UK R&B singer Ella Mai will work alongside each other, and Blake Shelton will enlist the help of Bebe Rexha. The crossover country singer served as a “Fifth Coach” on The Voice season 16 digital “Comeback Stage” series in 2019

The spoilery stuff is revealed in the clip below. Check out all the pairings, along with team photos below.
