Amid fan excitement, Adam Levine returns to The Voice for Season 27.
Adam Levine is making a spectacular comeback as a coach for Season 27 of The Voice after taking a leave of absence in 2019 to devote more time to his family. Fans are excited and respond in different ways to the new season’s lineup, which features both known and new faces.
The New Coaching Staff
There will be a diverse mix of coaches in Season 27:
- Adam Levine returns after a four-year absence.
- Kelsea Ballerini, the country music star and former advisor, joins as an official coach for the first time.
- John Legend, a fan favorite, continues his coaching streak.
- Michael Bublé, who brought his charm in Season 26, is back for another round.
Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé’s varied lineup from Season 26 is followed by this one. An interesting and unpredictable season is promised by the pairing of a novice with seasoned coaches.
Adam Levine’s Comeback: A Divisive Return
Fans’ responses to Levine’s comeback have been intense. Levine expressed his enthusiasm on Instagram when he announced his return in June, writing, “The OG is back in the building! I can’t wait to return to #TheVoice in the spring of 2025 🎤🎸✌️. #TeamAdam.
Later, in Season 27, he conveyed his excitement for a new beginning:
“Season 27 will be unique.” Yes, I have returned.
Some were not as thrilled about Levine’s comeback as others were. Disappointment was voiced by some fans in comments such as:
- “We can do without Adam. We want Snoop. 🔥”
- “First season I won’t watch. Terrible lineup.”
- “Love John but won’t watch with Adam. His creeper vibes aren’t what the show is about.”
Levine has previously been criticized, particularly for giving preference to one competitor over another during a Season 15 live event. Many longtime watchers, however, still adore him because they recall his enthusiasm and synergy with other coaches like Blake Shelton.
A New Face: Coaches Welcome Kelsea Ballerini
For the first time, country music artist Kelsea Ballerini is taking center stage as a coach. She was warmly welcomed on the The Voice Instagram page:
An official coach on the voice in the spring of 2025, after serving as the first coach of the comeback stage, an advisor, and a fill-in. Greetings, #TeamKelsea!
The presence of Ballerini gives the program new vitality and insight. Her prior background as a fill-in coach and advisor prepares her for a successful first year as a full-time mentor.
The Returning Coaches’ Excitement
John Legend posted a sweet picture of himself and his four kids—Luna, Miles, Esti, and Wren—on The Voice’s famous spinning chair to show his excitement for the upcoming season. Legend wrote:
“My first photo with a 4-baby chair! Returning to The Voice to record Season 27!
In addition to returning with his trademark charisma, Michael Bublé, who joined the competition in Season 26, completes a group of coaches with a variety of musical tastes.
Levine’s Path and Upcoming Phase
From The Voice’s premiere in 2011 to Season 16 in 2019, Adam Levine was a coach. His keen humor, spirit of competition, and banter with Blake Shelton made him a fan favorite over his ten-year run.
Following his departure from the show, Levine prioritized his family. The couple has three children together and is married to Behati Prinsloo. Levine acknowledged that he missed the show and the companionship it provided, but he accepted his role as a stay-at-home father.
Levine has returned to the competition with newfound vigor and readiness.
“I got enough sleep. I’m prepared to leave. It will be fantastic. He exclaimed, “Let’s go, Team Adam!” in his announcement.
Expectations for Season 27
The Voice is still a popular platform for finding and developing talent, even in spite of some criticism about the lineup. The connection between Levine, Legend, Ballerini, and Bublé is highly anticipated by fans. The season promises surprises, poignant moments, and, of course, amazing music because of the wide range of styles and personalities represented.
