The US presidential elections spoilt The Voice Season 11 (USA) 2016 Playoffs to some extent as the episode was cut short. Live Playoff usually runs for two days – live performance night and elimination episode – but the results were declared on the day of performance because of the elections.
The top 20 contestants performed live on Monday night. A total of 12 singers progressed to the next round, while eight of them were sent home. The audience chose two contestants each from each team through real-time voting via Twitter and the Voice app, while the coaches -- Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys and Blake Shelton -- chose one from among the rest. Each coach will go to the next round of competition with three artistes.
