Not everyone is happy about Levine returning to the show. On Tuesday, a user on The Voice subreddit posted a poll asking fans if they want to see the Maroon 5 frontman leave the show after Season 27. As of this writing, 94 fans have responded, with 65 of them voting “yes.”
“I don’t want him back at all,” wrote one user in the comments. “After the crap he pulled, why would anyone choose him as their coach? The only people he’s going to get are the ones where he’s the only coach to turn.”
Why Do Fans Dislike Levine as a Coach?
The above fan’s comment about “the crap he pulled” might be referring to a controversial moment in Season 15 of the show. Fans felt that Levine threw his artist DeAndre Nico under the bus to save one of the other artists on his team, Reagan Strange.
Both DeAndre and Reagan were in the Bottom Three and up for the Instant Save. However, Reagan wasn’t feeling well and was unable to perform. While sharing his thoughts on DeAndre’s Instant Save performance, Levine said he had a “special relationship with Reagan” and encouraged fans to vote for her.

Reagan ended up staying in the competition despite not performing, while DeAndre was eliminated. Along with many fans, DeAndre was also critical of Levine’s remarks, saying he “felt like he sold me out.”
There are other reasons fans might not want Levine back on the show, including his cheating scandal and a lawsuit filed against him and his wife Behati Prinsloo earlier this year by a decorator who was allegedly injured at their home.
