Color Key: Week 1: Live Playoffs (Nov. 7) For the first time in
The Voice history, playoff results were voted on in real-time, exclusively through Twitter and
The Voice app. All 20 artists sang live and eight were eliminated by the end of the night. The Live Playoffs all aired in one episode due to coverage of the
2016 Presidential Election the next day. With the eliminations of Josh Halverson and Kylie Rothfield, they pitted each other in the Battles.
Week 2: Top 12 (Nov. 14 & 15) The Top 12 performed on Monday, November 14, 2016, with the results following on Tuesday, November 15, 2016. For the live shows this week,
Garth Brooks was assigned as a mentor for final 12 contestants in all four teams. For this week, the bottom two artists compete for the Instant Save and one artist was eliminated. None of the artists reached the top 10 on iTunes, so no bonuses were awarded.
Week 3: Top 11 (Nov. 21 & 22) The Top 11 performed on Monday, November 21, 2016, with the results following on Tuesday, November 22, 2016. iTunes bonus multiplier was awarded to Sundance Head (#9).
Week 4: Top 10 (Nov. 28 & 29) The Top 10 performed on Monday, November 28, 2016, with the results following on Tuesday, November 29, 2016. This week featured a double elimination and a bottom three Instant Save. iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to
Sundance Head (#1), Brendan Fletcher (#2),
Billy Gilman (#4), Christian Cuevas (#6) and Wé McDonald (#9). For the first time since the inclusion of the Instant Save in
season 5, a contestant was saved three consecutive weeks.
Week 5: Semifinals (Dec. 5 & 6) The Top eight performed on Monday, December 5, 2016, with the results following on Tuesday, December 6, 2016. This week, the three artists with the most votes made it straight to the finals, the two artists with the fewest votes were immediately eliminated and the middle three contended for the remaining spot in the finals via Instant Save. In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes. iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Gilman (#1), Head (#2), Josh Gallagher (#3) and Cuevas (#4). With the eliminations of
Ali Caldwell and Aaron Gibson, Miley Cyrus no longer has any artists remaining on her team. With the advancement of McDonald to the finale, Alicia Keys becomes the second new coach to successfully get an artist on her team to the finale on her first attempt as a coach, the first being
Usher, who coached
Michelle Chamuel all the way to the finale of
the 4th season.
Week 6: Finale (Dec. 12 & 13) The Top four performed on Monday, December 12, 2016, with the final results following on Tuesday, December 13, 2016. Finalists performed a solo cover song, a duet with their coach, and an original song. iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Head (#1, #2 and #7), Gilman (#3 and #4), Gallagher (#6) and McDonald (#10). All iTunes votes received for the five weeks leading up to the finale were cumulatively added to online and app finale votes for each finalist. This also marks the first that a pairing (during the Knockouts) stands until the finale (Josh G. and Sundance). ==Elimination chart==
