The twenty-seventh season of the American reality television series The Voice premiered on February 3, 2025 on NBC. The season is hosted by Carson Daly who has hosted every season of the show. The coaching panel consists of Michael Bublé, who returns for his second consecutive season; John Legend, who returns for his tenth season after a one-season hiatus; Adam Levine, who returns for his seventeenth season after last coaching during the sixteenth season; and Kelsea Ballerini, who joins the panel as a new coach.[1]
Overview
Development
On June 4, 2024, NBC announced that The Voice was renewed for a twenty-seventh season to air in the spring of 2025. On June 5, the lineup of coaches was revealed on the show's website.[2]
Of the four coaches from the previous season, only Michael Bublé returned, marking his second consecutive season as a coach. Coaches Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Snoop Dogg all left the panel. Former coach John Legend returns to the show following his absence in the previous season, marking his tenth season as a coach. Former coach Adam Levine also returns to the show after a ten-season hiatus, marking his seventeenth season on the show as a coach.[3] With Levine's return, this is the first time since season 23 in which at least one coach from the inaugural season is featured. Additionally Kelsea Ballerini joins the panel for her first season as a coach. She has made multiple appearances on the show: she was featured as the "Comeback Stage" coach during the fifteenth season, served as a battle advisor for Kelly Clarkson's team during the sixteenth season, and filled in as a guest coach for Clarkson during the battle rounds in the twentieth season.[4][5]
Carson Daly returns for his twenty-seventh consecutive season as host.
Marketing and promotion
Ahead of the season's premiere, on January 31, the show, via its online media platforms, released a cover of the 1972 Elton John single "Tiny Dancer" performed by the coaches.[6]
Shortly prior to the season premiere, the blind audition of Ethan Eckenroad, performing Noah Kahan's "Northern Attitude", was released online.[7] Later episodes saw the auditions of Tatum Scott, Jessica Manalo, Lucia Flores-Wiseman, and Alanna Lynise released online as a sneak peek for their respective episodes.[8]
Note: Italicized names are artists stolen from another team during the battles or the knockouts (names struck through within former teams). Underlined names are artists who were saved by their coach in the battles. Bolded names are recipients of the "Coach Replay" button.
The show began with the Blind Auditions on February 3, 2025. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs face the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, each coach ends up with 12 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 48 artists advancing to the battles.[9]
The "Coach Replay" button introduced in the previous season returned this season. This season, however, a coach may use it if he/she did not originally turn around, but another/the other coach(es) did turn for the artist. The button allows the user to make him/herself eligible for the artist to pick. The recipients of this feature for each team were Dan Kiernan for Team Kelsea, Ricardo Moreno for Team Bublé, Tinika Wyatt for Team Adam, and Antonio Ramsey for Team Legend, respectively.[10]
