Season 28 of The Voice<\/a> is officially underway with a brand new rule change that has already given one contestant a second chance in the competition.<\/p>\n

During the show\u2019s season premiere Monday night on NBC, it was announced that long-time host Carson Daly<\/a> will have the ability to save a contestant whose blind audition fails to turn any of the judges\u2019 chairs.<\/p>\n

The Carson Callback, as it\u2019s called, is meant to speed up the year-long process of having a rejected contestant reaudition after making it to the blind auditions. With the new rule, Daly has the power to give one chosen contestant just 24 hours to prepare a new song to reaudition for the judges.<\/p>\n

Daly wasted no time putting his new power to use with 25-year-old singer Ryan Mitchell from Los Angeles. Mitchell sang \u201cCigarette Daydreams\u201d by Cage the Elephant<\/a> but didn\u2019t capture the hearts of judges Michael Bubl\u00e9, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-eight seasons, I see Coaches let great singers like yourself fall through the cracks sometimes, and I\u2019ve never been able to do anything about it until right now,\u201d Daly explained. <\/p>\n

Handing Mitchell a special card, he continued: \u201cRyan, this is the Carson Callback Card. You\u2019re just too good to let go. Pick a new song. Ryan, you have 24 hours to prepare for this second and last chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes the Coaches just don\u2019t get it right,\u201d Daly told Mitchell and his family backstage. \u201cWe rarely get a cool alt-rock artist on the show anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell will return with his new song for a chance to impress the judges during Tuesday night\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

The Season 28 rule change comes ahead of a shake-up for Season 29, which will have a slight name change along with a deviation in format when it airs in 2026.<\/p>\n

The Voice: Battle of Champions, as it will be called, will differ from the usual four coaches who blindly listen to contestants sing before progressing to battle rounds, knockouts, semi-finals, and the finale.<\/p>\n

During the audition round, the coaches will compete against each other in a \u201cThree-Turn Competition,\u201d where they will try to land the most singers who can turn each chair for their teams. The coach with the most three-turn singers automatically earns a \u201cSuper Steal\u201d for the battle rounds, which can only be used once and overrides any other coach\u2019s attempt to steal, guaranteeing a win.<\/p>\n

In the knockout rounds, the coaches will bring back two fan-favorite singers from their teams from previous seasons to compete in an \u201cIn-Season All-Star Competition.\u201d The coach with the most sing-off wins, judged by former Voice coach CeeLo Green, will be guaranteed a second finalist in the finale.<\/p>\n

The semi-final week will feature the top nine singers, with the finale including the top four. A new addition for those final weeks of the season is a voting block made up of past singers on The Voice and super fans of the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Season 28 of The Voice is officially underway with a brand new rule change that has already given…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[9,1063,18,117,1831,19,1826,17,5,1828,1827,1829,1830,128,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-81750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-daily-news","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-global-news","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-inkl","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-news-app","18":"tag-news-headlines","19":"tag-news-today","20":"tag-today-news","21":"tag-tv","22":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
