The twenty-second season of the American reality television series The Voice premiered September 19, 2022, on NBC.

Blake Shelton and John Legend returned as coaches for their twenty-second and seventh seasons, respectively.

[1] Bryce Leatherwood was named the winner of the season, marking Blake Shelton's ninth and final win as a coach.

In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches whose chairs are facing the audience.

If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join.

[5] Among this episode's auditionees was Peyton Aldridge, who previously competed on the eighteenth season of American Idol.

[7] Among this episode's auditionees was Ansley Burns, who previously competed on the fourteenth season of America's Got Talent.

At the end of this round, nine artists will remain on each team; seven will be the battle winners, and one from a steal and a save, respectively.

With the elimination of Justin Aaron, this is Stefani's third time, in her six seasons as a coach, that she does not have an artist in the finale.

In addition, Bryce Leatherwood from Team Blake became the second Wild card Instant Save winner to make it to the finale, after Hailey Mia in season 21.

This is the first time in the show's history that a coach has three artists competing for the instant save.

The Top 5 finalists performed two songs on Monday and a duet with their coach on Tuesday.

With the victory of Bryce Leatherwood, he becomes the first Wild Card winner to win the entire competition.

[60] Additionally, after Omar Jose Cardona's Instant Save performance, John Legend, stunned by the results in which all three members of his team ended up in the bottom four, implied that the audience did not "vote for people because of their voice".
