With the eliminations of Emmanuel Smith, Moya, NXTGEN and Nicole Dennis, will.i.am and Jennifer Hudson no longer have any artists remaining on their teams. This is the first time in all eight seasons that will.i.am does not have an artist represented in the final. This is also the first time in the show's history that only two coaches are represented in the final. With the advancements of Bethzienna Williams and Jimmy Balito, this is the first time that a stolen artist, who is representing the finals, did not originally earn a chair turn by their coach in the blind auditions.
