Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson & More to Return to ‘The Voice’ as Season 27 Finale Performers
Written by djfrosty on May 9, 2025
Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and more stars are returning soon to their old stomping grounds, with The Voice announcing that a handful of former coaches will be performing on the upcoming season 27 finale.
As revealed Friday (May 9), the “God’s Country” singer and Kelly Clarkson Show talk show host will both take the stage during the competition series’ live show on on Tuesday, May 20, with the episode running from 9 to 11 p.m. ET/PT. Shelton — who was a Voice coach from seasons 1 to 23, the longest anyone has ever served on the panel — will sing “Texas” from his new album, For Recreational Use Only. Clarkson, who has nine seasons as a coach under her belt, will perform new single “Where Have You Been.”
But the two stars aren’t the only Voice veterans who are locked down for the finale. Season 23 and 25 coach Chance the Rapper will take the mic for “Space and Time,” while Alicia Keys — who manned one of the four spinning chairs for seasons 11, 12 and 14 — will share the stage with Amanda Reid from Broadway’s Hell’s Kitchen for the television debut of “The River” / “Empire State of Mind.”
Plus, Foreigner will perform a medley of their greatest hits, including “Feels Like the First Time,” “Juke Box Hero” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” and Joe Jonas will belt out “Heart by Heart” from his upcoming solo album, Music for People Who Believe In Love. Sheryl Crow — one of this season’s mega mentors — will join James Bay to sing their collaboration “You and Me Time,” and season 22 Voice winner Bryce Leatherwood will deliver a rendition of his track “God Made” from his upcoming self-titled debut album.
The finale will come as five finalists compete for the honor of this season’s winner, which will be selected by audience voting on May 20. This season’s coaches were Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend and Adam Levine.
A week prior to the finale, Ballerini and Legend will both perform as well, delivering “Baggage” and “So High,” respectively, on the May 13 episode. On May 19, Bublé will sing “Always on My Mind.”
Starting May 12, The Voice‘s season 27 live shows will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT Mondays and 9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesdays through the finale.
