As The Voice prepares to spin these purple chairs proper into a brand new cycle, there’s an particularly massive query looming over Season 23: Who will take Blake Shelton’s seat when it’s over?
Shelton introduced final October that he’d be leaving NBC’s long-running competitors collection after Season 23 (premiering Monday, March 6), after serving as a coach for the reason that present’s 2011 debut. For his ultimate season, he’ll be joined on the massive purple buttons by Kelly Clarkson (additionally a veteran of the present) and Voice newcomers Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper. But past that? It’s anybody’s guess who will fill that finish seat when the present ushers in Season 24.
For his half, Shelton has already suggested country singer Neal McCoy as his successor — McCoy was uninterested! — and we will confidently assume it will be a rustic singer who takes Shelton’s place, whoever it’s. Though different Voice coaches, like Clarkson and Miley Cyrus, have dabbled within the nation style, Shelton has been the present’s solely full-blown nation coach since Season 1, and he’s boasted the profitable contestant in 9 out of twenty-two seasons.
So, who ought to or not it’s? Might The Voice change Shelton with one of many many nation artists to function his advisor over time, like Brad Paisley or Keith Urban? Will a feminine nation famous person, like Carrie Underwood or Kelsea Ballerini, succeed him? Or might the present throw us a whole curveball and sidestep the nation style totally, leaving The Voice‘s cowboy hat-wearing contestants to their very own gadgets?
Hit the feedback with your dream decide(s) for Shelton’s Voice substitute, and we’ll spherical up a few of your concepts in a gallery later this month!
