# The Voice (American TV series) season 27

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.

## 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.

### Coaches and host

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. 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.
Carson Daly returns for his twenty-seventh consecutive season as host.

### Battle advisors

The teams' battle advisors were revealed on March 3, 2025. The battle advisors for this season are Coco Jones for Team Legend, Cynthia Erivo for Team Bublé, Little Big Town for Team Kelsea, and Kate Hudson for Team Adam.

### 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.
Shortly prior to the season premiere, the blind audition of Ethan Eckenroad, performing Noah Kahan's "Northern Attitude", was released online. 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.

## Blind auditions

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.
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.
This is the second instance since season 21's Ariana Grande that a debuting coach (Kelsea Ballerini) does not have any four-chair turns on their team, as Shakira, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Nick Jonas, Camila Cabello, Chance the Rapper, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, Dan + Shay, Michael Bublé, and Snoop Dogg have at least one four-chair turner on their teams on their respective debut seasons.

## Battles

The battles began airing on March 10, 2025. The advisors for this round were Coco Jones for Team Legend, Cynthia Erivo for Team Bublé, Little Big Town for Team Kelsea, and Kate Hudson for Team Adam. This marks the first time since the twenty-second season that battle advisors were featured.
In this round, the coaches pit two of their artists in a singing match and then select one of them to advance to the next round. Losing artists may be "stolen" by another coach, becoming new members of their team, or can be saved by their coach, remaining a part of their original team. Multiple coaches can attempt to steal an artist, resulting in a competition for the artist, who will ultimately decide which team they will go to. Additionally, their original coach can compete for their artist if they attempt to save them.
At the end of this round, eight artists will remain on each team; six will be battle winners, and one from a steal and a save, respectively. In total, 32 artists advance to the knockouts.
