Today, NBC announced that The Voice is going to be back for season 29 at the beginning of 2026, who will be coaching, and the changes they are making to make it more thrilling.
The Voice: Battle of Champions sees the return of three Champions: Kelly Clarkson (four times), Adam Levine (three times), and John Legend (once). The first time that all the Coaches are winners.
Since it is a battle of three competitive Coaches, be prepared for it to be a fast-paced competition.
Four rounds, each featuring a distinct “Voice” first:
Blinds: Coaches compete against each other in the “Triple Turn Competition” (vying for the most three-chair turns) with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round.
Battles: The coach with the most three-chair turns automatically earns a “Super Steal” for the Battles. This coveted prize can only be used once and trumps any other coach’s attempt to steal, guaranteeing a win.
Knockouts: Each coach brings back two fan-favorite artists from their teams in previous seasons to compete in an “In-Season All-Star Competition.” All-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale. For this special episode, coaches call upon original Voice coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown.
Semi-Final and Finale Week: Kicks off with a Top 9 Semi-final and culminates in the Top 4 Finale. For the first time in show history, a new voting block comprised of super fans and past “Voice” artists will have the opportunity to get in on the fun firsthand, experiencing the competition as part of the in-studio audience voting for their favorites in real time during the semi-finals and finale.
After the Blinds, each coach with have ten artists. How long they get to keep those artists, we will have to tune in to see.
Season 28 returns in the Fall with Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire.
The Voice will be back on NBC in the Fall for its 28th season with Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Niall Horan.
Even though the show will not return to the airwaves for two months, they are filming the auditions as you read this. Michael Bublé gave an update on how things are going so far: “I’m back in the big red chair! And no joke, I smashed my button so hard yesterday that it broke. The talent on season 28 is ”
Who knew those buzzers were real? But they are, and now we know that they are breakable if you hit them too hard.
BTW, I think this is the most aggressive thing a Canadian has done when they weren’t playing hockey.
Before Ralph Macchio was doing karate for Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, he was dancing for Bubble Yum. He looks the same now as he did when he was 18 in that 1980 commercial.
To hear what he told the ladies of The View about his first acting job, then click here!
It is the first time that Michael Bublé, John Legend, returning coach Adam Levine, and new coach Kelsea Ballerini worked together on The Voice. They might be new to each other, but when they sing, they sound like they have known each other forever.
Case in point. The Crooner, the R&B artist, the Popstar, and the Country singer sang Elton John’s classic Tiny Dancer, and the four totally different musicians sounded like one when they harmonized to the chorus.
So, if they can sing that well together, imagine what they are going to accomplish when they are sitting in the red chairs. It is going to be music to our ears.
How much music to our ears? We will have to tune in starting Monday when The Voice returns to NBC.
Michael Bublé is a massive star in his own right. However, when he told his daughter, Vida, that he was working with Snoop Dogg on The Voice, she was impressed with that news.
The crooner told Seth Meyers on Late Night the other day that when she heard that, she got really excited. Therefore, he was kind of confused as to why his little girl knew who the Rapper was.
It turns out the 6-year-old’s teacher used to play Snoop’s song Affirmations for the kids every day in class. Snoop released that kids’ tune and others like it for his grandkids.
Vida asked if she could record a video for her favorite singer. Bublé said yes and showed it to his fellow coach when they met. How did he react to kindergarteners in Vancouver, Canada, listening to his song every morning? It really touched him.
So much so that now Uncle Snoop calls the Bublé residence to talk to the kids and not the old guy, who is the only Coach under 50 on The Voice this season.
Bublé also shared a video of Vida meeting her idol for the first time, and it could melt the coldest of hearts.
