Which Coach & Singer Won Each Season?

The first season of The Voice featured a group of coaches that would remain the same until the third season. Hosted by Carson Daly, the first season, which was filled with performances from amateur contestants as well as the coaches, saw Adam Levine’s team crowned as neo-soul singer Javier Colon beat out Dia Frampton to win the competition.

Winner: Javier Colon

This season would be the beginning of the Shelton era as New York R&B singer Jermaine Paul claimed The Voice championship. Paul proved his musical talent prior to appearing on the show: the soul singer was co-nominated with future Voice coach Alicia Keys at the 48th Grammys for best performance by a duo or group with vocals. Paul crowning moment would bring coach Blake Shelton to his first of a three consecutive wins in the next few seasons.

Season 4 saw the first change in the show’s coaching lineup, as Christina and CeeLo were replaced with R&B crooner Usher and Latin pop star Shakira. The change in coaches did not seem to cause any disturbance for the Blake Shelton train, which churned on and landed its third consecutive Voice victory. Danielle Bradbery, a country singer from Houston, won the season 4 title, which at the time made the 16-year-old the youngest winner in Voice history.

The fifth season saw the coaching roster return to its original cast. Along with the OG cast, Team Levine made its way back to the top for the first time since Season 1, as Jamaican soul artist Tessanne Chin took the crown over Team Christina’s Jacquie Lee, performing a beautiful rendition of soul great Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”

Usher and Shakira made their way back to the spinning red chairs in season 6. The Confessions singer did more than just return, however: he claimed his first victory for Team Usher, coaching Josh Kaufman, a performer from Florida to the crown. At 38, Kaufman became the oldest contestant to ever win The Voice. After being dropped by original coach Adam Levine, the soul singer was picked up by Usher.

The seventh season saw two new additions to the coaches table: N.E.R.D. frontman and super producer Pharrell and former No Doubt frontwoman turned pop star Gwen Stefani. However, it was business as usual for Shelton, who claimed his fourth win in six years thanks to Texas country singer Craig Wayne Boyd over floppy-haired singer-songwriter Matt McAndrew of Team Adam.

Two new coaches entered the fray for the eleventh season: soul singer Alicia Keys and pop sensation Miley Cyrus. But it would be one of the original coaches who would take the crown, as Team Blake emerged victorious for the first time since season seven, ending a four-season drought with Texas country crooner Sundance Head‘s victory over former child prodigy Billy Gilman. The Season 11 champ had previously appeared on Season 6 of American Idol, but was eliminated just one week shy making the Top 12.

Alicia Keys returned for the show’s fourteenth season along with a brand new coach: America’s original Idol Kelly Clarkson. In her inaugural season, the pop star and former reality champ rode all the way to victory by coaching 15-year-old Brynn Cartelli, who would go on to serve as an opener for Clarkson’s Meaning Of Life tour. Season 14 was also the first season in the show’s history not to feature a member of Team Blake or Team Adam in the final two.

Coaches: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson

Winner: Brynn Cartelli

Fresh off her first victory, Kelly returned for another season by welcoming back fellow Idol veteran Jennifer Hudson to the spinning chairs. The “Since U Been Gone” hitmaker’s hot streak continued with her second consecutive win thanks to 16-year-old country singer Chevel Shepherd. Clarkson’s back-to-back victories marked the first time any coach had taken the crown in consecutive seasons since Team Blake’s three-peat back in Seasons 2 through 4. Also for the first time in the show’s history, Season 15 saw the addition of a fifth coach, as Kelsea Ballerini mentored contestants who had failed to turn any chairs in the blind audition as part of the brand-new Comeback Stage.

The EGOT winner’s inaugural season led to sweet success as he coached 26-year-old Maelyn Jarmon to victory against three members of Team Blake in the finale. Season 16 also saw Bebe Rexha replace Kelsea Ballerini as coach of the show’s Comeback Stage.

Season 17 marked the first installment of the competition series without OG coach Adam Levine. Gwen Stefani returned to take his place, and the season was full of cute banter between the pop star and her now-boyfriend Shelton. Tennessee native Jake Hoot became only the second winner (after Chris Blue in season 12) to have been just a one-chair turn in the blind auditions, giving Clarkson her impressive third win.

Season 18 found the judge’s panel shaken up again, with Stefani out and Nick Jonas in alongside Clarkson, Legend and Shelton. With the first five-artist finale, like almost everything else on TV, the winter/spring 2020 season of The Voice was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, resulting in the live shows turning into remote shoots for everyone’s safety. Mississippi native Todd Tilghman, 42, went from being the first audition aired to the winner’s circle on Shelton’s team, marking Blake’s seventh win as a coach with the oldest winner in the show’s history.

For Season 19, The Voice returned for a fully socially-distanced season in the midst of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Tagging out Jonas, Stefani returned for her fifth season as a coach, and marked her team’s first-ever win thanks to Long Island native Carter Rubin, who became the youngest male winner in the show’s history at just 15 years old. (He tied with past winner Brynn Cartelli as the show’s youngest champion ever.)

Jonas returned once more for Season 20, replacing Stefani. 19-year-old Cam Anthony was crowned winner — in person this time, thanks to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Pop superstar Ariana Grande joined the coaches panel for season 21 of The Voice, joining Shelton, Clarkson and Legend.
