'The Voice' Season 24 Dropped Another Look At The Team Without Blake Shelton And I Still Can’t Get Used To It

  • 8 months ago
We’re two months away from the premiere of "The Voice" Season 24, and it will be a historic moment for the longtime NBC singing competition. For the first time since its 2011 premiere, none of the original coaching panel will be in the Big Red Chairs as contestants take the stage hoping to find success in the music industry. The show recently gave us our first peek at the upcoming season’s coaches, and while Gwen Stefani, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire and John Legend do look seem like they’re going to be a fun group, I still can’t get over how weird it is to not see Blake Shelton among them.

Blake Shelton went out in epic style on "The Voice’s" season finale in May, wrapping up his 23-season stint on the show surrounded by several of "The Voice’s" former coaches, all nine of his Team Blake champions and many more singers that he’d coached over the past decade-plus. The big event was likely intended to give fans — and the cowboy himself — some closure, but doesn’t it just feel the tiniest bit wrong that Shelton’s not here, just waiting to troll the next person who catches his eye?
