New to this season, is the introduction of the Steal Room. While steals have returned, each artist that is stolen this season will sit in a designated seat in the Steal Room as they watch the other performances.

Sing offs

The sing offs were recorded in Berlin from September 10, 2019 to September 11, 2019 and were broadcast in two episodes on October 27, 2019 on Sat.1 and on October 31, 2019 on ProSieben. This season's advisors were Natasha Bedingfield for Team Mark, Ryan Tedder for Team Alice, James Blunt for Team Sido and Michael Schulte for Team Rea.[12]

The Sing Off determines which two artists from each team will advance to the final round of competition, the Live Shows. In this round, after an artist performs, he or she will sit in one of two hot-seats above the stage. The first two artists performing from each team will sit down, but once the third artist performs, a coach has the choice of replacing the third artist with any artist sitting down or eliminating them immediately. Once all artists have performed, those who remain seated will advance to the Live Shows.
