Season nine's advisors are Missy Elliott for Team Pharrell, John Fogerty for Team Adam, Brad Paisley for Team Blake, and Selena Gomez for Team Gwen. As like the previous battle rounds since season 3, each coach can exercise a use of two steals to save two losing artists from opposing coaches to put through to the Knockouts. At the end of the Knockouts, each coach reinstate a previously eliminated artist from either the Battles or Knockouts to participate in the Live Playoffs.

Live shows

The Live Shows is the final phase of the competition. It consists of six weeks of live shows starting with the playoffs and ending on the season finale. The traditional iTunes multiplier bonus begins with the Live Playoffs and continues through the end of the semi-finals. The Instant Save feature applies starting on the top 12 week until the semi-finals.

For the first time in the show's history, a "Coach Comeback" feature was introduced where each coach reinstated one previously eliminated artist from the Battles or Knockouts to perform in the Live Playoffs with the top 20 and will get a chance to move on to the live shows as part of the top 12.

The Live Playoffs comprises episodes 15, 16, and 17 (the results show). The top 24 artists perform, with the two artists per each team advances via public vote, while the bottom four artists compete for the coaches' save in the results show. The Monday broadcast featured Teams Adam and Gwen, while the Tuesday broadcast featured Teams Pharrell and Blake.

Jordan Smith's "Halo" reached #3 on iTunes and Emily Ann Roberts' "In The Garden" peaked at #6; both received iTunes bonus multipliers in their respective voting windows.[4][5]

In-lieu of the bottom three and the double elimination in contrast of previous seasons, this week feature single elimination until week four. The two artists with the lowest votes then performed in the Instant Save and faced the Twitter's votes.

iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Jordan Smith (#1), Amy Vachal (#6), and Jeffery Austin (#9).[6]

iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Vachal (#4), Smith (#8) and Emily Ann Roberts (#10).[7]

iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Smith (#2), Barrett Baber (#3), Madi Davis (#4), Ann Roberts (#5), Austin (#7), Amy Vachal (#8) and Shelby Brown (#9).[8]

Five artists were eliminated on the semifinals. During the results, the top three artists with the most votes were immediately advanced the finals, the bottom three artists with the fewest votes were eliminated immediately, and the middle three artists were eligible for the Instant Save.

iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded for the most number of artists (eight, surpassing seven on the previous week) in a single week of shows in The Voice history, those being Smith (#1), Austin (#3), Ann Roberts (#4), Davis (#5), Vachal (#6), Braiden Sunshine (#7), Zach Seabaugh (#8) and Barrett Baber (#9).[9] With the elimination of Davis, Williams no longer has any more artists left on his team.

The Final four performed on Monday, December 14, 2015, with the final results following on Tuesday, December 15, 2015. Finalists performed a solo song, a duet with their coach, and a Christmas song. As per usual, no iTunes bonuses are awarded for Finale performances, with all season's iTunes votes for each artist counted cumulatively.

The contestant's song choices reach the top 10 on iTunes for Jordan Smith (#1, #3 and #5), Emily Ann Roberts (#2 and #6), Barrett Baber (#7), Jeffery Austin (#9).[10]
