‘The Voice’ 2025: Who Are the Judges for Season 27?

The Voice is back for Season 27, featuring new talent and some familiar faces on the judging panel. The recently premiered season’s coaches include a mix of returning superstars and a brand-new coach set to shake the competition like never before.

So, who’s claiming the red chairs this year?

Meet the Coaches of ‘The Voice’ 2025 (Season 27)

Adam Levine – The Great Return

After taking a break from the show in 2019, Adam Levine has officially returned. The Maroon 5 frontman, who was one of the original coaches when The Voice launched back in 2011, won three seasons before stepping away from the show in 2018.

Speaking about his return, Levine said:

The stars aligned. It just felt right. I missed the energy, the competition, and most of all, discovering new talent.

For John Legend’s die-hard fans, they have been waiting for him to make a comeback. Adding to all the memories, his return is nostalgic yet competitive.

John Legend – The All-Star Coach

John Legend, a fan favorite, is back for another season proving himself to be one of The Voice’s most successful coaches. With his unmatched R&B and soul expertise, Legend has always been an excellent mentor for powerhouse vocalists and outstanding performers.

The clear frontrunner, Legend, has already hinted that this season will welcome “some of the best voices” the show has seen.

Michael Bublé – The Smooth Operator

Always a crowd favorite, Michael Bublé returns for his second season with his trademark crooning and jazz singing style.

He was a surprising addition to the show in Season 26 and came in with a lot of people’s expectations regarding his coaching persona and teaching tactics. Instead, he shocked everyone with his hilarious coaching style and brilliantly devised game plans. There is speculation that he will assist contestants who want to achieve that beautiful, deep, and melodic sound, making him a strongest contender of the season.

Kelsea Ballerini – The Newcomer Making Waves

The biggest change to the panel this season is Kelsea Ballerini, who officially steps in full-time as a coach. Ballerini has previously acted as an assistant mentor and as a battle advisor, but this is her first season as a judge on the panel.

A country-pop star, Ballerini has spent past seasons as a fill-in coach, so this is not new for her. But this time, it’s personal.

“I’m here to help these artists find their voice – literally and figuratively,” she said in an interview before the season began.

With her youth and experience in country music, she is expected to introduce a different element to the competition.
