Michael Bublé may not be sitting in one of the red chairs for “The Voice” Season 30, but he clearly hasn’t stopped paying attention. After the new season premiered, the former Coach shared his support for the show—and fans quickly turned the moment into calls for him to come back.
Season 30 officially premiered on September 21 with a very different coaching lineup. Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine returned, while Riley Green and Queen Latifah joined the panel as first-time Coaches. Bublé, meanwhile, is sitting this season out.
His absence is especially noticeable because of what he accomplished during his run. Bublé joined “The Voice” as a Coach in Season 26 and immediately found success, guiding Sofronio Vasquez to victory.
Then he did it again. Bublé coached another winner the following season, giving him championships in each of his first two seasons and establishing an impressive early record on the show.
He returned once again for Season 28, meaning viewers had grown accustomed to seeing his humor, personality and competitive side as part of the coaching panel. His departure for Season 30 therefore left plenty of longtime viewers wondering when they might see him again.
Bublé hasn’t announced that he has permanently left “The Voice.” In fact, his continued interactions with people connected to the show suggest he still has plenty of affection for the competition.
Earlier this year, he even surprised Riley Green during an interview and offered some encouragement to the incoming Coach. Bublé praised Riley as a talented musician and an empathetic person, showing his support before Riley ever took his place in the red chair.
Bublé has also playfully floated the idea of collaborating with Riley and longtime former Coach Blake Shelton. While that wasn’t an announcement of a “Voice” return, it showed that his connections with the show’s extended coaching family remain strong.
Now that Season 30 has arrived, Bublé’s latest reaction has once again reminded viewers of his time on the show. Fans responding to his message made it clear that some aren’t ready for his coaching days to be over.
Several viewers used the opportunity to ask Bublé to return to the competition, with some specifically pointing back to his championship record. For those fans, his success with contestants is a major reason they would like to see him back in the coaching chair.
There is currently no confirmed announcement that Bublé will return as a Coach for an upcoming season, so the fan requests shouldn’t be mistaken for confirmation. Season 30 belongs to Clarkson, Levine, Latifah and Green, who are now building their teams and beginning their own battle for the championship.
Still, Bublé’s history makes the possibility an intriguing one for viewers. He arrived as a newcomer, quickly became a back-to-back winning Coach and remained connected to “The Voice” even after stepping away from the Season 30 panel. Now fans are sending him a very clear message: they want Michael Bublé back in that red chair.
