THE VOICE
February 27, 2017  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: In the most recent cycle of this musical competition series, Miley Cyrus did a very good job sliding into one of the judges’ chairs for the first time. She’s established herself as someone who deserves a return invitation – but for this cycle, her chair is being filled by returning judge Gwen Stefani. Stefani has appeared two previous times as a judge on The Voice, and now, of course, is the girlfriend of Blake Shelton, who has been a judge every cycle since The Voice began. So has Adam Levine, but contestants coached by Shelton have won five times, including Sundance Head in a surprise victory the last time around. Levine, as Voice coach, has scored three victories. Stefani and Alicia Keys, who is returning from the most recent cycle after her first time as coach, will be looking for a first victory with the new round of competition, which begins tonight. And since the Blind Audition rounds routinely deliver some of this series’ best moments, so does the fun.
