The Voice made a major rule change to its blind auditions — and it already saved one contestant
The Voice host Carson Daly given more power in new season
- Season 28 of The Voice has premiered with a new rule called the 'Carson Callback'.
- It allows host Carson Daly to save one contestant whose blind audition fails to turn any judges' chairs.
- The saved contestant is given 24 hours to prepare a new song for a second chance audition.
- Ryan Mitchell, 25, was the first contestant to receive a 'Carson Callback' after his initial performance.
- Significant format changes are planned for Season 29, which will be titled The Voice: Battle of Champions and introduce new competition elements.
