"The Voice" 2018 Winners - Top 10
Season 15 of The Voice continues with the top 10 performing tonight. The judges' teams continue to shrink each week, which means that votes are very important to the outcome of the show. Tonight, the top 10 are set to perform and all of the 2018 judges are each hoping to have the winning artist on the show this season. Tomorrow night, the eliminations will continue and they are based on tonight's performances. So, if you are inspired by tonight's vocals or have a favorite contestant in the mix, be sure to cast your votes. Judges Blake Shelton and Adam Levine are the veteran coaches on the show and they are also champions, which means they are fiercely competitive. Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson are also returning judges and last season, Clarkson took home the win, so she definitely has her eye on the prize again. Clarkson actually has the most contestants left on her team, so the overall odds are in her favor. Even so, all four of the judges have contestants left in the competition. This week, the contestants will compete for spots in the top 8, which means that two contestants will be voted off the show. Tonight's performances will determine who is safe tomorrow and who will have to sing for the Instant Save real-time voting from viewers at home. Last week, the top 11 performed and Lynnea Moorer was sent home. Moorer was a comeback contestant, who was a cast-off that participated in the digital companion series The Comeback Stage. She earned her way back into the competition, but her time back on the show was short-lived. Recently, coach Blake Shelton weighed in on what he thinks of the other coaches this season, joking to Hollywood Outbreak that his rivalry with Adam Levine is what makes the show so fun and watchable. Shelton said, "If I didn’t have him as a punching bag down there, I don’t know what I would do ... The only real cutthroat things that are going on are things that are going on between the coaches." The jokes and insults thrown back and forth among the judges is what Shelton believes draws in viewers. It creates comedy relief. Of course, another big draw is that the show features some amazing music artists and fresh faces. Shelton joked that, "As far as the other coaches go, you know, they can kiss my butt. I don’t care, and I think that’s what people like about the show." Shelton also gushed over fellow judge Jennifer Hudson's talent and her many accomplishments but he also called her "the sneaky one" out of the judges. When it comes to Kelly Clarkson, Shelton had very flattering things to say about her. Shelton said, "I don’t know that there’s ever been a person that’s been a coach on this show that’s more excited about being a coach on this show than [her] and it shows." Shelton is pretty close to Clarkson, as well as her husband. Now let's get to know each of the teams left in the competition, as well as the individual contestants, starting with Adam Levine's team. Continue on in our gallery to see the other teams on The Voice 2018.

Team Adam Levine on "The Voice" 2018
Adam Levine is a veteran coach on The Voice and he is super competitive on the show, to say the least. He is especially cutthroat when it comes to going up against his arch-nemesis on the show, his good friend, Blake Shelton. Levine takes the competition very seriously and he even scolds the audience to quiet down, at times, so that he can totally concentrate on making the right decisions. Over the course of his experience on The Voice, coach Levine told People that he being a coach on the show made him mature and grow up a little in order to effectively make a difference.
Levine revealed that when he first started out on The Voice, "I was this single dude who never thought about helping anybody with their career because I was too hyper-focused on my own ... I kind of had to grow up a little bit and do a job and provide a service for other people and teach them things I knew and play this crazy game." Now, Levine is married to model Behati Prinsloo and the couple has two young daughters together. Just recently, Levine supported his wife at the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, as she made her return to the catwalk after going on hiatus to help build their growing family. Levine shouted in excitement from his seat in the audience as Prinsloo strutted down the runway, blowing kisses at her man. In the past, Levine has only been able to attend one of Prinsloo's VS Fashion Show gigs because of his schedule with The Voice. Fortunately, this season, the dates worked out well, so Levine could attend.
Going into the top 10 tonight, the contestants who are left on Levine's team included Reagan Strange, and DeAndre Nico. Strange is from Memphis, Tennessee and she is just 14 years old, which makes her the youngest contestant on Levine's team for season 15. According to Commercial Appeal, because of Strange's young age, she has special guidelines to follow. For example, she gets out of the 12-hour-long Voice rehearsals earlier than some of the other adult contestants because she is a minor.
As for Nico, he definitely has the determination and the vocals to go far in the competition. He is also very humble. When Nico first moved into the top 13 this season, he told Beaumont Enterprise that he is thankful to God for being able to continue on as a part of The Voice. He said he has a lot more drive and energy left in him to give.
Adam Levine has been putting in a great effort to help groom his remaining two contestants for the show, as well as the music industry in general. It's clear that he is passionate about his job and hopes to make it to the finale with at least one of his contestants.
Now that you got to know Adam Levine's remaining two contestants, get to know the contestants who are left on Kelly Clarkson's team next.
