Adam Levine Returning to The Voice After Almost 4 Seasons — Here’s Why

After sitting out Seasons 17-20 of The Voice, Adam Levine is returning to the NBC sing-off for Tuesday’s finale (8/7c). The former coach won’t be mentoring any of the remaining contestants, though; he’s just part of the two-hour episode’s star-studded guest lineup. As such, he and Maroon 5 will perform their latest hit, “Beautiful Mistakes” with Megan Thee Stallion.

Among the other A-listers slated to go on: Levine’s pal, Voice mainstay Blake Shelton, will sing his current single, “Minimum Wage,” sometime Voice coach and Shelton’s fiancée Gwen Stefani will join rapper Saweetie on “Slow Clap,” Season 20 Mega Mentor Snoop Dogg will team up with DJ Battlecat on “Sittin on Blades,” Kelly Clarkson’s temp replacement Kelsea Ballerini will sing “Half of My Hometown,” and on the heels of the pandemic, expect a new outbreak of Bieber fever. That’s right — the all-grown-up teen idol will be delivering a mash-up of his singles “Peaches” and “Hold On.”
In addition, Shelton, Clarkson and their fellow coaches John Legend and Nick Jonas will duet with their finalists. And needless to say, the episode will also reveal whether Team Blake’s Cam Anthony or Team Kelly’s Kenzie Wheeler is Season 20’s winner. Yes, there are three other contestants still in the running, but all of us who have been watching kinda know: It’s down to those two.
What say you, Voice fans? Are you looking forward to Levine’s return — and seeing if he appears to have gotten over the reported snit that preceded his exit at the end of Season 16? Hit the comments.
Sounds like the finale is more about the judges and guest stars careers than the actual contestants.
And it really should be this year if they want anyone to watch.
You know what they could do, being that it’s the 20th season? Maybe bring back some of the winners or stand out contestants to perform on the finale. It’s crazy that The Voice hasn’t produced any big artists in its 20 years.
Just shows the focus is on the judges and not contestants.
Yeah at least American Idol has produced some legitimately huge stars over the course of its run (though not in the past several years), with Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood and a handful of others who have had varying degrees of success. The Voice really hasn’t produced a single person of note who would be known to anyone who doesn’t watch the show. It’s only the judges who have benefitted.
Gabby Barrett is having a wildly successful career right now. She was on AI a few years ago.
That’s actually a really good point. Even American Idol at least launched 2 stars with staying power who still have successful careers.
You think even some of the losers would surprise and go on to big careers on The Voice, but nope. Idol also has Jennifer Hudson, and Adam Lambert, and McPhee, Sparks, and Daughtry have careers too. The Voice doesn’t even have a Kellie Pickler!
It has not been on 20 years. Somehow it’s its 20th season, but it premiered in 2011. This is only its 10th year anniversary.
Yeah, averaging two seasons a year. So it’s inflated.
They’re dropping to one a year, starting this Fall.
I want to know why a black woman cannot win the voice? This year (2021) was packed with 4 of the most powerful black women to ever Grace the voice stage. It’s unfair and it’s bordering on racism. This needs to STOP!
I don’t think we really need him back, he’s shown that he doesn’t really care as much about the voice as the person attached to it when he sank one of his own people for another. It’s been better without him honestly, aside from the sometimes witty, sometimes annoying blake/adam banter.
Yeah, who was that he did that to? I vaguely remember that.
They called it Bathgate when he put some 15 year old girl through who was sick and could not even perform that night over a black guy who sang very well. The girl was shown back stage with her Mother in a white bath robe. Adam saved her and his flimsy excuse was he has a daughter. The next year few contestants chose Adam and he had no singers in finale so he left.
Yeah, the truth is Adam was a horrible coach. The Voice should have kicked him off a long time ago. The only reason they kept him on the show so long was because he argued with Blake so much.
I definitely like the Voice better without Adam Levine. I think he’s obnoxious!
It’s a good show. Yes I’ll be watching & enjoying it. Time to lighten up & stay away from the frightening world news. Welcome Back to Adam & hopefully he & Blake will pick up where they left off..
Love Adam Levine, was so sad when he left! He was my all time favorite! Oops, but I also love Blake Shelton! Will be happy to see Adam back❤️ I am in my 70s😊
I agree, and I am 61!
Can’t wait to see Adam again. Miss him as a coach
Love to see Levine again!!!
LOVE Adam! BUT…….after the fiasco of that awards show being turned into smut. PLEASE don’t turn this family friendly show into soft porn with “you know who”!! Lots of us grannys watch with grandbabies. Yes, I already know the flack is coming about my comment.
I didn’t need a gross performance on an award show to hard pass on those ‘ladies’…
I can’t wait to see Adam again on the Voice. He has been one of my favourite judges and I hope to see him back for a season at least.
Love Adam and Maroon 5. It will be the highlight of the show having them perform!
Miss seeing Adam on the Voice
Why isn’t Carter, last year’s winner,?coming back to sing.
I liked Adam on The Voice. He was such a great challenger.
Looks like Blake is going to get another win under his belt. Cam all the way!!!
No I’m not looking foward to Adam Levine, i think he’s a cry baby and sore loser he got upset because he tried to push through a friends daughter and it didn’t work.
Am looking forward to seeing Adam Levine. Love him and his music. Always loved him and Blake Shelton getting into it. I think it will be a good show.
Welcome back Adam
Yes. Love Adam
I think it’s wrong that they chose one contestant from each coach, they should have picked the top 5 vote getters because Cory Ward is better than Nick Jonas or John Legends contestants. Of course Cam is going to win! He’s amazing
Absolutely! It will be the first time that I have watched the voice since he left!
They need to get the orignals back on like Adam back on, glad to see him returning!! Have not enjoyed the show and have even stopped watching the show since Kelly came on, she wants to be the main lead and just never shuts up and stops slamming others!
Can’t wait to see Adam back on the voice – just wish he would be in a chair again!
Bring Adam back
Missed him . Love his music !
Yes, sure wish he was back on the show!
