Team mentors this season for The Voice include John Fogerty (Team Adam), Brad Paisley (Team Blake), Selena Gomez (Team Gwen) and Missy Elliott (Team Pharrell). Season 9 has some of the best performers this year, and the coaches have their work cut out for them. Once the battle rounds are over then the contestants enter the knockout rounds and if they are eliminated, they go home, the judges can’t steal or save at that point. Once the knockout rounds are over, the live rounds begin where fans of The Voice contestants can vote for their favorites.
