Meet the Coaches on The Voice Season 30

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson is a Grammy winner and the first winner of American Idol. She joined The Voice in Season 14 and is coaching her 11th season, after Seasons 14 to 21, 23, 29 and now 30. She has four wins: Brynn Cartelli (Season 14), Chevel Shepherd (Season 15), Jake Hoot (Season 17) and Girl Named Tom (Season 21). That ties her with Adam Levine for the most wins among active coaches.

This season her team has four-chair turns Koumba Diallo, Kyle Davis and Nina Howland, and she added 17-year-old Kavi Nyx on the last night of the Blind Auditions. She used her First-In button on Johnnie Kapua and her Steal on Marcus Ladden Jr. Ariana DeBose is her Battle Advisor.

Adam Levine

Adam Levine, the Maroon 5 frontman, is one of the original coaches and has been part of the show since the 2011 premiere. He coached the first 16 seasons and then returned for Seasons 27, 29 and 30, which makes this his 19th season. He has four wins: Javier Colon (Season 1), Tessanne Chin (Season 5), Jordan Smith (Season 9) and Alexia Jayy (Season 29).

His four-chair turns this season are Lexi Stephens and Amanda Mikkel, and he used his First-In button on Amanda. Alex Warren is his Battle Advisor, and he still has his Steal.

Riley Green

Riley Green is an Alabama-born country singer and a CMA and ACM Award winner. Season 30 is his first time in a red chair, so he has no wins yet. He held his First-In button the longest of the four coaches and then used it on 15-year-old Allie Rae.

Ferryn & Brinkley and Cade Mower are his four-chair turns, and he used his Steal on Kayleigh Mathews, who chose his team over Team Kelly after losing her Battle. Carly Pearce is his Battle Advisor.

Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah is a rapper, singer and actress from New Jersey. She is a Grammy winner for “U.N.I.T.Y.”, has an Oscar nomination and appeared in films including Bringing Down the House, Hairspray, Taxi and Girls Trip. This is her first season as a coach, so she has no wins yet.

She was the first coach to use the First-In button, on 16-year-old Mia Knight in the premiere. Chari and Lillie Kolich are her four-chair turns, and Patti LaBelle is her Battle Advisor. She still has her Steal.

What Is Different for the Coaches in Season 30?

• First-In button: it replaces the Block. The coach who turns first can claim an artist before the artist chooses, and each coach can use it once. All four coaches have used theirs.
• One Steal each: every coach has one Steal in the Battles, so each team ends the round with seven artists.
• Cut Week: it replaces the Knockouts, and each coach sends two artists straight to the Live Shows. Read our Cut Week explained guide.
• Live voting: fans vote by text message or TikTok comments during the Live Shows. See how in our voting guide.
