Week 2: Top 12 (Nov. 17 & 18)
The Top 12 performed on Monday, November 17, 2014, with the results following on Tuesday, November 18, 2014. The Instant Save returned once again this season, with the bottom three artists performing for a spot in the next round via the viewers' votes from Twitter, which is applicable until the quarterfinals. In a new twist, a Wild Card finalist round was announced during the results show where previously eliminated contestants from the season's top twelve will return to compete in a sing-off for a fourth spot in the finals.
iTunes multiplier bonus was awarded to Matt McAndrew (#5). [ 4]
Week 3: Top 10 (Nov. 24 & 25)
The Top 10 performed on Monday, November 24, 2014, with the results following on Tuesday, November 25, 2014. This time, the coaches chose the song for their artist.
The performance show was suspended in the Eastern and Central time zones for approximately a half hour at 9 p.m. ET due to the grand jury decision resulting from the shooting of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri (and the unrest that followed). When NBC News coverage ended, the program resumed from the point at which it had been suspended. Viewers in the Mountain time zone saw the live coverage at 7 p.m., when the episode was supposed to start, then the performance show was shown on a delay; however, the part announcing the start of the NBC News special report was edited out as the show aired in real time. The episodes aired without any interruption for Pacific time zone, and in the states of Alaska and Hawaii .
iTunes multiplier bonus was awarded to Craig Wayne Boyd (#6).[ 5]
Week 4: Quarterfinals (Dec. 1 & 2)
The Top 8 performed on Monday, December 1, 2014, with the results following on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Three artists were eliminated this week with the bottom half of the artists facing the Instant Save.
iTunes bonus multipliers were awarded to Matt McAndrew (#2), Taylor John Williams (#6), and Damien (#7).[ 6]
With the eliminations of Luke Wade and DaNica Shirey, Williams no longer has any contestants remaining on his team; for the first time in the show's history, the top 5 were all male artists.
Week 5: Semifinals & Wildcard Round (Dec. 8 & 9)
The Top 5 performed on Monday, December 8, 2014, with the results following on Tuesday, December 9, 2014. This week, each artist will sing two songs; one chosen by their coach, and another selected in tribute to their supporters. The Wildcard Round was held on Tuesday, and nine previously eliminated singers from the season's top 12 were given the opportunity to perform once again, with one contestant awarded a fourth spot in the finale.[ 7] With the special Tuesday round, the voting window for all methods was shortened to six hours to accommodate announcement of the result during the December 10 Today show; additionally, as with the finale, iTunes bonus multipliers do not apply to the Wildcard voting.[ 8]
Craig Wayne Boyd, Matt McAndrew, Chris Jamison and Taylor John Williams received the iTunes bonus multiplier with their studio recordings of "The Old Rugged Cross", "Make It Rain", "When I Was Your Man", "Sugar" and "Blank Space" charting at #2, #5, #6 #8 and #9 on the iTunes Top 200 singles chart at the close of the voting window, respectively.[ 9]
With the elimination of Taylor John Williams, Stefani no longer has any remaining artists on her team. This is the first time a single coach (Levine) has advanced three performers to the final stage of the competition, and this was also the first season with an all-male finale.
Wayne Boyd, McAndrew, and Jamison also recorded songs in the event that they were eliminated that night, which were respectively "Anymore " (Boyd), "Imagine " (McAndrew), and "I'll Be " (Jamison).
Week 6: Finale (Dec. 15 & 16)
The Top 4 will perform on Monday, December 15, 2014, with the final results following on Tuesday, December 16, 2014. This week, the final four performed an original song, a duet with the coach, and a solo song. As with previous seasons, there was no iTunes bonus multiplier applied to songs performed in the finale episodes; all iTunes votes received for the five weeks leading to the finale will be cumulatively added to online, phone and app finale votes for each finalist.[ 10]
iTunes multiplier bonuses were awarded to McAndrew (#1 & #10), Wayne Boyd (#2), Jamison (#3 & #5) and Damien (#8).[ 11]
With Boyd's victory, he is the second stolen artist to win an entire season, with Josh Kaufman being the first. He also has the distinction of being the only artist who have been stolen twice to win an entire season.

Controversy and criticism
The show faced controversy when Rebekah Samarin, a contestant on Team Adam, was the first contestant in the history of the show to make it to the third round of the competition and have all of her performances, including her Blind Audition, Battle, and Knockout round, montaged (not shown in full).[ 51] Samarin took to Twitter to comment about this, saying "While I am appreciative of the experience, I am baffled by The Voice's blatant disregard and disrespect of my time and efforts."[ 52]
