Twelve artists made it through The Voice Season 30 Cut Week on Monday, November 2: Mia Knight, BigCountry and Lillie Kolich (Team Queen), Lexi Stephens, Connor Closs and Dakota Cohen (Team Adam), Cade Mower, Ferryn & Brinkley and Joe Henley (Team Riley), and Koumba Diallo, Anna McElroy and Brianna Cameron (Team Kelly). The other 16 were cut, and one of them will return through America’s vote to complete the Top 13.
Cut Week replaced the Knockouts this season and took the field from 28 artists to 12 in a single two-hour episode. The 13th name has not been announced yet, so this page lists only the confirmed coach picks. Last updated on November 3, 2026, after Cut Week.

The night ran on a simple rule. Each coach named two artists who skipped the performance round entirely. The five left on each team then sang one song apiece, and the coach kept exactly one of them. Everyone else went home unless America votes them back.

Team Queen: Lillie Kolich Takes the Third Spot
Queen Latifah sent Mia Knight and BigCountry straight to the Live Shows. For her last place she heard Bryan Jaymes (“Use Me”), Destinee Monroe (“Space Oddity”), Alt Bloom (“For the First Time”), Chari (“Killing Me Softly With His Song”) and Lillie Kolich (“Friday I’m in Love”), and she chose Kolich. That ends the run for Destinee Monroe, whom Latifah had stolen from Team Adam only a week earlier.
Team Adam: Dakota Cohen Gets the Final Seat
Adam Levine advanced Lexi Stephens and Connor Closs without a performance. The fight for his third spot featured Evan James (“Midnight Train to Memphis”), Owen Uffens (“Electric Feel”), Amanda Mikkel (“A Thousand Miles”), Brandon Diaz (“Dare You to Move”) and Dakota Cohen (“Hemorrhage (In My Hands)”). Levine kept Cohen, the rocker who beat Destinee Monroe in the final Battle.
Team Riley: Joe Henley In, Allie Rae Out
Riley Green picked Cade Mower and the duo Ferryn & Brinkley as his automatic advancers. Allie Rae (“4x4xU”), Everett Bounds (“Killin’ Time”), Keiyana Osmond (“Will You Love Me Tomorrow”), Kayleigh Mathews (“Walkin’ After Midnight”) and Joe Henley (“Don’t Close Your Eyes”) sang for the last place, and Green went with Henley. The cut includes Allie Rae, the first artist Green claimed with his First-In, and four-chair turn Kayleigh Mathews, whom he had won through a Steal.
Team Kelly: Brianna Cameron Edges Out Kyle Davis
Kelly Clarkson sent Koumba Diallo and Anna McElroy through first. Marcus Ladden Jr. (“You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine”), Brooklyn Marie (“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”), Nina Howland (“In the Kitchen”), Kyle Davis (“Can’t Find My Way Home”) and Brianna Cameron (“Inseparable”) competed for the third spot, and Clarkson chose Cameron. Kyle Davis, the oldest artist to earn a four-chair turn, is among the 16 now hoping for the public vote.
America’s Vote for the 13th Spot
