The Voice Season 27: Meet the coaches

Get ready to swivel those red chairs around, because The Voice is returning to NBC on February 3, 2025, with a fresh mix of musical masterminds ready to duke it out for the best singing talent in America.

The Emmy-winning singing competition, known for its signature blind auditions and those iconic rotating chairs, is shaking things up with a compelling blend of veteran coaches and fresh faces.

Season 27 welcomes back Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine after his five-year hiatus, alongside returning coaches John Legend and Michael Bublé (fresh off his Season 26 victory).

Adding a dash of country-pop flair to the testosterone-heavy panel is newcomer Kelsea Ballerini, making her official coaching debut after her previous stint as Kelly Clarkson's temporary replacement in Season 20.

As usual, viewers can catch the show live on NBC at 8/7c, or stream it the following day on Peacock, ensuring no blind audition button push goes unwatched.

Who are the coaches on The Voice Season 27?

Adam Levine

After a five-year break from those spinning red chairs, Adam Levine is making his return to The Voice, bringing with him three previous wins and, presumably, a fresh supply of witty comebacks. In his own enthusiastic words shared on Instagram:

"Season 27, yes, I'm coming back; I'm so excited. I cannot wait. I'm well rested. I'm ready to go. I'm a little nervous — I'm not nervous — but I'm so excited."

The Maroon 5 frontman couldn't resist adding a competitive jab, noting "I feel bad for other teams," proving that his signature sass hasn't diminished during his time away.

Micheal Bublé

Fresh off his rookie season victory with Sofronio Vasquez, Michael Bublé is sticking around for another spin in the chair. The crooner's debut season showed he's got more than just smooth vocals – he's got coaching chops too.

Being the only returning coach from Season 26 of The Voice, Bublé will be the resident expert on what it takes to win in the current Voice landscape.

John Legend

John Legend returns after a brief hiatus from The Voice, bringing his singular win and wealth of musical expertise back to the show. Despite his impressive track record in the music industry, Legend has only managed to secure one win during his seven-season stint – though that win came during his debut season with Maelyn Jarmon.

Perhaps sharing the panel with fellow one-time winner Bublé will spark some friendly competition.

Kelsea Ballerini

Making her official coaching debut, Kelsea Ballerini steps into her red chair with some prior The Voice experience under her belt. The country-pop star's genre-bending career makes her a particularly interesting addition to the coaching panel, potentially offering contestants insights into successfully straddling musical styles.

The coaches who aren’t returning for Season 27 of The Voice

Season 26 says goodbye to three memorable coaches: Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and the unexpected Snoop Dogg. McEntire's exit appears linked to her successful NBC sitcom Happy's Place, which recently received additional episode orders.

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg had always planned for a one-season stint, though he admitted to forming unexpected bonds with his fellow coaches:

"When I did the contract, I was like 'I'm about do to this sh-t for one year and get up out of here.' But then, once I got to the set, I fell in love with Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani."

He even called Bublé his "lost brother" – a bromance we didn't know we needed until we got it.

With this mix of returning veterans and fresh talent, Season 27 of The Voice promises to deliver the perfect blend of experience and new energy.

Whether it's Adam Levine's competitive spirit, Michael Bublé's defending champion status, John Legend's musical wisdom, or Kelsea Ballerini's fresh perspective, the new season is shaping up to be an entertaining ride through America's vocal talent landscape.
