For this special event, original Voice coach CeeLo Green returns to guest judge and decide the winners of each All-Star Showdown.
- Semi-Final and Finale Week: The high-stakes final stretch begins with a Top 9 Semi-Final and leads into the epic Top 4 Finale.

This new twist brings the audience closer than ever to the action, shaping the outcome of the competition like never before.
