The fourteenth episode was a special one-hour episode titled "The Road to the Live Shows." The episode showed the best moments of the season so far, including the blind auditions, the journey of the top 20 contestants and some unseen footage.

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.

Color key:

      Artist was saved by the public's votes
      Artist was saved by his/her coach or was placed in the bottom two or middle three
      Artist was saved by Instant Save (via Twitter)
      Artist's iTunes vote was multiplied by 10 (except the finals) after his/her studio version of the song reached the iTunes top 10 within the applicable voting window
      Artist was eliminated

Week 1: Live Playoffs (Nov. 9, 10 & 11)

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]
