The past coaches of The Voice have truly set the legacy for this show of being both fierce yet still gently mentoring the contestants. Over the course of the show, we have seen some great coaches and famous coaches advisors mentor some super talented contestants. It can sometimes be a little hazy as to when the coaches were on the show, as many have both left and then returned again! Take a look at the breakdown of the fab past coaches on The Voice, and their mark on the music industry.
Past Coaches Of The Voice
Here’s how it went down! When The Voice began in February of 2011, the first to be named as coaches were Adam Levine and CeeLo Green. A month later, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera were named as coaches. For Season 4, Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green were replaced as coaches by Usher and Shakira, but Aguilera and Green both returned in Season 5. Pharrell Williams replaced CeeLo Green for Season 6, and Gwen Stefani was Christina Aguilera’s replacement in Season 7 when she went on maternity leave. Shakira and Usher both left The Voice at the end of Season 6 so they could focus on their music careers. Christina Aguilera returned for Season 8, and Gwen Stefani came back for Season 9. Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are the current coaches, here are some highlights of the past coaches on the show.

Do you like the current coaches on The Voice? Which one of the past coaches of The Voice is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!
I can always count on your posts to keep me up to date! I never watched the Voice so I honestly had no idea all these celebrities were even coaches on it haha!
Love the Voice and yes I love all of the artists as both musicians and coaches. I have big love for Cee-Lo Green and am wondering what he is up to these days as he hasn’t released a single in the while.
I’ve never watched the voice but I remember when Aguilera was on it. I didn’t realize she’s three years older than me.
Haha I used to absolutely love The Voice (mainly because Adam Levine was on there) 🙂
Love The Voice and the blind selections! Shakira is my favorite!
My friend was on it in my country
I’m sure they mix them up just to keep it interesting. Each coach has their own personalities and strengths – otherwise it would get boring!
LOL – I heard that Ceelo was in jail or in some kind of trouble . . .anyway my fave past judge is Usher – my faves are ADAM (first), Usher, Pharell & Blake. I do NOT care for all of the drama with blake & gwen as I used to like her but not sure if she will ever be back now as a judge.
Ahhhh I used to love watching the voice! Even worked on a photo shoot for an advertisement for the voice which was beyond cool.
I’ve been wondering if they are going to shake up the coaches again. I really like the 4 coaches now, appreciate the recap!
I’ve never watched The Voice but I did recognize a few as couches. Some I never knew were even on it!
Since I cannot carry a note, I am always in awe of those that can sing. I can’t even imagine how amazing it would be to have one of these stars be a voice coach.
I watched The Voice the first season and really liked it. Then we got rid of our TV, so I don’t watch anything anymore! lol. But it seemed like a great show, and all of the coaches are wonderful!
I used to wathc The Voice, but not anymore. I can’t imagine how it feels like coaching by those real stars. It must have been quite experience!
I totally forgot that Shakira was a judge on this show! And I don’t think I realized how many seasons they have had. I like the judges they have now, but love Christina Aguilera.
I never watched this show but I had friends who truly enjoyed it! It sounded like it would have been a great show to watch!
I was never one to follow the Voice, but sometimes, when I visit with my brother – he’d watch a lot of DVR’ed episodes all at once and I’d get hooked. I did not know that Shakira was ever a judge.
Bring CeeLo Green back!!!!!
