Followers have been loving Adam Levine’s return to The Voice since Season 27 premiered on the 2025 TV schedule, and as a fan from the very starting, I’m proper there with them. The Maroon 5 frontman has at all times introduced some rock star swag that has, at occasions, led to a few of The Voice’s extra controversial moments, however lately he’s much less concerning the rivalries and extra concerning the group chat. Nonetheless, the perfect factor about his comeback, for my part, is that he brings one thing the present has been lacking since Blake Shelton left — a legacy of profitable.
In Blake Shelton’s 23 seasons, he received the present 9 occasions, and Kelly Clarkson has 4 victories. That’s 13 wins between simply the 2 of them — half of the present’s 26 accomplished seasons. The truth that the opposite 13 seasons are unfold amongst 20 different coaches of The Voice implies that there aren’t loads of mentors on the market profitable a number of seasons. Thank goodness for the Season 27 contestants, Adam Levine is certainly one of them.
The Voice Hasn’t Had A Coach With Extra Than One Win Since Season 23
With Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson each exiting The Voice after Season 23 — probably for good, too, with John Legend saying the cowboy has no plans to return and Clarkson revealing how a lot she struggled in her last seasons — no coach has had a couple of win since filming wrapped in Might 2023.
In truth, the one different coaches moreover these two who can boast a couple of victory are Niall Horan (Seasons 23 and 24) and Adam Levine (Seasons 1, 5 and 9). That may be a enormous deal for the present batch of contestants, and so they appear to know that.
On the primary night time of Blind Auditions, Darius J. had a alternative between Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé. When host Carson Daly requested why he’d chosen to hitch Group Adam, Darius J. stated:
I’ve been watching this present for a very long time. I do know Adam. I do know he’s a winner, and I’m able to win.
It was so refreshing to listen to one of many contestants say that, as a result of no mentor has had an actual edge over his compatriots in that method shortly. We’ve seen artists select the coach who most closely fits their style or who wished the possibility to work with Reba McEntire or Snoop Dogg, and whereas I definitely received’t blame them for that, I missed having artists select a coach as a result of they’ve seen them take their group to the end line again and again.
Wanting on the method groups are forming to this point, I’d say Darius J. is much from the one artist coming in with hopes of getting the Maroon 5 singer to show.
Adam Levine Is Successful The Majority Of Artists He’s Turned For
Those that have watched the primary three episodes of Season 27 can inform that John Legend is a bit perturbed by Adam Levine threatening his place as King of the 4-Chair Flip. (Episodes can be found to stream with a Peacock subscription for those who do must catch up.) When all 4 coaches flip their Large Crimson Chairs, the ability goes again to the artist, who then will get to decide on which group to hitch.
Of the six 4-Chair Turns by the February 17 episode, Adam Levine has closed the deal 4 occasions to John Legend’s two (and Levine was blocked from getting a kind of). However Levine’s dominance goes additional than that.
Not counting the 2 occasions Adam Levine has been blocked, he’s hit his button for 12 artists by three episodes, and he’s gotten eight of them. That’s a 67% success charge! Let’s have a look at that in comparison with the opposite Season 27 coaches (once more, with out counting blocks towards their proportion):
- Adam Levine: 8 artists, 12 chair turns (67%)
- John Legend: 6 artists, 13 chair turns (46%)
- Kelsea Ballerini: 7 artists, 16 chair turns (44%)
- Michael Bublé: 6 artists, 21 chair turns (29%)
Adam Levine has the arrogance and the historical past to get who he needs, and he proved it when he whipped out his resume to woo 4-Chair Flip Conor James on the February 17 episode. Following James’ rendition of “I Say a Little Prayer,” Levine advised him:
This would possibly sound braggy, however I’ve achieved it quite a bit. Took a break, got here again once more. There’s a attribute — and particularly within the singers that I’ve taken the gap on this present — there’s a selected factor. Jordan Smith had it. The primary season, Javier Colon had it. Tessanne Chin, who I really like who received the present. There’s a spirit to what a few of these guys do, I simply am so drawn to it. As a result of what it means is mainly there’s limitless potential. And I believe that you’ve this distinctive skill — on this present particularly — to essentially win this factor. And I’ve seen it occur 16 occasions. For me, I noticed it occur 3 times, and there’s no larger feeling, and I’m telling you bro, you’ll be able to win this present, and I need you dangerous on my group.
OK so Adam Levine simply referred to as his shot. I’m excited to see if he actually did see one thing within the singer that can get them to the top collectively. Oh yeah, and it would go with out saying after that onerous promote, however Conor James did select the Maroon 5 rocker’s group.
Adam Levine won’t have wanted to place in such effort to win the artist, as a result of Conor James stated he’d deliberate to select Group Adam if given the possibility, however I completely suppose Levine needs to be reminding the auditioners of his success on the present each probability he will get.
I believe The Voice Season 27 is off to an ideal begin, and I completely love that Adam Levine has introduced a profitable legacy again to the NBC singing competitors. Will he deliver it house once more and tie Kelly Clarkson for 4 wins total? Up to now the momentum appears to be swinging in his route.
Adam Levine might not suppose The Voice is a contest present anymore, however whether it is, I’d say he’s profitable it — similar to he did prior to now. New episodes of The Voice air at 8 p.m. ET Mondays on NBC and streaming the subsequent day on Peacock.
