Meet Your Mega Mentors For Season 26 Of The Voice – Rock And Roll Legend Sting & Former Coach Jennifer Hudson

“Our Mega Mentors are so nice, we did it twice,” The Voice shared on social media. “Don’t miss @theofficialsting and @iamjhud on #TheVoice Knockouts MONDAY November 11 8/7c on @nbc and streaming on @peacock.”

Previously, each Voice coach had a team advisor who helped their teams prepare for the battle round. Occasionally, a single key advisor would jump in to provide support later in the season.

But The Voice stopped having battle advisors after Season 22. They switched to the Mega Mentor model in Season 23, with now-coach Reba McEntire serving in the role.

Wynonna Judd served as the Mega Mentor for Season 24, while Keith Urban filled the role during Season 25. Season 26 marks the first time The Voice has ever had two Mega Mentors!

Voice fans were thrilled to see that Jennifer is returning to the show. Some of the responses to the Mega Mentor announcement included:

“OMG, JENNIFER IS BACK! I MISS HER SO MUCH ON THE SHOW!”

“OMG! I MISS JENNIFER HUDSON ON THE SHOW SO MUCH. SHE IS BACK!!!”

“Yay I loved me some JHud! I enjoyed her as a coach too maybe this is a sign she’s coming back as a coach at some point!!”

“We need @iamjhud back as a coachhhh!!! She looks so gooddddd.”

This will be Sting’s first time working with contestants on The Voice. Fans are equally excited to see what the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will bring to the show.

“Are you kidding me?! They have STING this season?! Incredible and Incredibly jealous.”

“Sting should be interesting.”

“Sting! Wow!”

“STING…WOWSA!”

“AHH i can’t wait two ICONS.”
