Currently, music stars Chance the Rapper, Reba McEntire, Dan + Shay, and John Legend, are the vocal coaches serving on The Voice this year.

Dan + Shay took One Direction alum Niall Horan’s spot on the series after he chose not to return for Season 25.

As it stands now, country singers make up 50% of The Voice’s coaching circle.

This statistic doesn’t sit well with some viewers.

In a thread on Reddit, supporters of The Voice explained why certain coaches perturbed them.

“I can’t be the only person annoyed that Country Western (CW) is overshadowing everything. If CW had its own show it would be better,” one critic ranted.

“If the music industry picked the winner it would also be better. America voting is a train wreck.”

“Some of the world’s best singers would have been voted off the show. That is ridiculous,” they continued.

“I usually watch until the voting starts. This year that double team stunt makes the whole thing unwatchable for me…”

“Who thought it was a good idea to have 3 country judges,” a viewer asked.

“I absolutely hate country music. Having the country duo instead of someone different from all the rest is what they should have done. I’m not watching this season,” another slammed.

“I haven’t watched it yet maybe today but I have been fearing that. Especially the way the voting went last season,” third person added.

While some were in agreement that too many country singers dominated The Voice, others saw no problem with it.

“Just because others have different music preferences doesn’t make it wrong,” one person shared.

“Several Voice alums have been successful on country radio… so yeah, country artists are going to be featured,” another added.

ALMOST HAPPENED?

Rumors circulated that former coach Gwen Stefani, 54, would rejoin the panel.

However, the Don’t Speak singer was not announced in the new cast list.

Near the end of September 2023, the 54-year-old hitmaker returned with her co-stars for Season 24 of The Voice.

During Reba’s debut, Gwen cozied up to and sang with her, John, and Niall, 30.

The Tremors scream queen filled in for the empty seat left by Gwen’s husband, Blake Shelton, 47, who retired from the show at the end of Season 23.

At the time, Blake left the talent competition show to spend more time for his family.

Throughout February, the God’s Country singer has been busy promoting his Back to the Honky Tonk tour and performed at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

Meanwhile, Blake’s wife has been preparing to take the stage again soon with her former band, No Doubt, at Coachella in April.

Gwen will reunite with her ex-bandmates – bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young – as they have not performed together in almost a decade.
