ET will be tracking the teams throughout the season, monitoring steals, saves and favorites as The Voice prepares to crown a new champion.
The season 20 contestants also have the help of their Mega Mentor: rap legend Snoop Dogg! ET spoke with Snoop ahead of his big reveal, and the legendary rapper shared how excited he was to help coach the teams and impart his own experiences on the up-and-coming stars. But, while he had thoughts on each of the season 20 coaches, Snoop wasn t playing favorites!

Ultimately, Piaâs powerhouse Knockout performance was too strong for Ciana to contend with, forcing her out of the competition when John chooses Pia as the winner.

Corey s gritty, soaring performance of the single from Kelly s 2009 album,

Corey Ward, 34, from Hartsville, South Carolina, picked the tune for the first Knockouts round performance of season 20 because he related to its idea that life could be unpredictable.
Those words and Corey s impassioned performance had a devastating impact on Kelly, 38, who co-wrote the song with OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder.
