The Voice Season 30 Cut Week Results
The first Cut Week of The Voice Season 30 aired on November 2, 2026, and determined the first 12 artists heading to the Live Shows. Coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, Riley Green, and Queen Latifah each selected three singers from their teams.
The format gave every coach two automatic selections, followed by a final choice after the remaining contestants performed. Sixteen artists were left eligible for America’s vote, which will determine the final place in the Top 13.
The Live Shows begin on November 9.

Which Contestants Are Still Eligible for America’s Vote?
Sixteen artists were not selected for their teams’ coach-chosen places. They remain eligible for the audience vote that will determine the final Top 13 contestant.
The remaining artists are:
Team Queen Latifah
- Bryan Jaymes, who performed “Use Me” by Bill Withers.
- Destinee Monroe, who performed “Space Oddity” by David Bowie.
- Alt Bloom, who performed “For the First Time” by The Script.
- Chari, who performed “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack.
On Team Adam Levine
- Evan James, who performed “Midnight Train to Memphis” by Chris Stapleton.

- Nina Howland, who performed “In the Kitchen” by Reneé Rapp.
- Kyle Davis, who performed “Can’t Find My Way Home” by Blind Faith.
These artists have not all received their final competition results. One of the 16 will receive enough audience support to claim the remaining place in the Live Shows.
Why Did Brianna Cameron Advance?
Brianna Cameron delivered one of the episode’s standout performances with Natalie Cole’s “Inseparable.”
Kelly Clarkson compared the young singer to Whitney Houston, praising her vocal ability and the additional qualities she revealed during the performance. Queen Latifah also commented on Brianna’s poise, while Riley Green described her as the most naturally talented person on the show that year.
Clarkson ultimately selected Brianna as her team’s third artist for the Live Shows. She will join Koumba Diallo and Anna McElroy on Team Kelly.
Did Bryan Jaymes Make the Live Shows?
Bryan Jaymes was not selected by Queen Latifah for one of her three coach-chosen places. He performed Bill Withers’ “Use Me,” and the coaches praised his stage presence and performance.
However, Bryan was among the 16 artists eligible for America’s vote. His final status was therefore still undecided after the November 2 episode.
The same distinction applies to Owen Uffens, Keiyana Osmond, and Marcus Ladden Jr. They were not selected by their coaches, but the audience vote still gives them a route into the Live Shows.
When Do The Voice Season 30 Live Shows Begin?
The Live Shows begin Monday, November 9, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. The first 12 artists selected by the coaches will be joined by the contestant who receives the final audience-voted place.
The result will complete the Top 13 lineup and mark the start of the live competition, where viewers will have a greater role in deciding which singers continue.
