Look out readers! Adam Levine is back for Season 6 of The Voice, and the show has begun with a bang!

For those of you who are not familiar with NBC’s hit show, The Voice, the program serves as a talent competition for singers young and old to prove themselves and make it big. The show is based primarily on the idea that beautiful music does not need to be reflected on the outside, but from within. To mirror this, a panel of four celebrity judges are seated with their backs to the stage for what are referred to as the “Blind Auditions.” Then, as judges hear rather than see what they like, they can hit their buttons and turn around to see who they picked for their team. If more than one judge turns around, it is up to the singer to pick a coach for the season.

One of the two judges who have been with the show from the very beginning is Adam Levine. Adam’s fame skyrocketed after joining The Voice as a judge and helped change his reputation from the bad-boy rocker to a kind-hearted jokester. Similarly, the publicity has had a wonderful impact on Maroon 5 as a whole. For example, in 2012 alone, the band literally used the show as the stage for their premiere singles “Payphone” and “Daylight” [1,2,3].

Overall, Adam’s team has won the competition twice (the first season with Javier Colon [4] and the fifth with Tessanne Chin [5]). The success has not stopped there, however, for Adam even signed season two team member Tony Lucca (shown below) to his record label named 222 Records after Lucca finished second runner-up [6,7].

Over the years, Adam has even been said to form a “bromance” with other long-term judge Blake Shelton. The country singer and the pop star share a wonderful dynamic, making jokes back and forth and giving the show a fun and exciting flavor.

With each season of The Voice comes new surprises. From greater voter influence to the ability of judges to “save” their favorite artists during the “Battle Rounds,” the show keeps viewers interested from beginning to end. Season 6, however (which premiered yesterday February 24, 2014) started with one of the biggest surprises yet! The show opened with Blake Shelton singing fellow judge Shakira’s song “Whenever, Wherever,” Shakira singing Blake’s song “Boys ‘Round Here,” Usher singing Maroon 5’s song “Love Somebody,” and Adam singing fellow judge Usher’s verse in David Guetta’s song “Without You.” Check it out!

Although this is all I have time for in today’s blog post, be sure to catch Adam on The Voice on NBC Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c!
