When you root for a contestant, how important is their coach to you?

[Daillon]

Per example, do you root for a Team Kelly’s contestant to win just because you want to see Kelly win, or you just support your actual favorite?

 

One rule: be honest

I don't care at all. The show itself does not focus on the contestants, so I try to do it myself.

[TeamAudra]

I don’t care which team they are on.

I don’t care about the coach teams. After the show, who will I support? The coaches or the contestants? The usual answer to that question is the contestant (with Kelly and Xtina being the main exceptions.)

The coach matters zero.

I wouldn't say it's that much important for me, but let's say that, for example, in Season 17, when Jake won, watching Kelly win as coach was the only thing that help me to not feel extremely dissapointed. So, yeah, that's it. Watching my favorite coaches win it's a guilty pleasure for me, no matter with which contestant they win.

That doesn't always happen, though. For example, i loved Alicia as a coach but i was extremely dissapointed when her contestant won over my snowflake (who, by the way, was in the team of a coach that i don't stan that much). So, it's a little complicated, it depends on my mood, honestly.

I have a tendency to like contestants on Kelly's team but my top snowflakes aren't necessarily always on her team. I tend to gravitate towards AA powerhouse divas (especially those singing soul music), indie pop singers, and pop artists in general, regardless of their team affiliation. That being said, watching my favorite coaches win is a guilty pleasure for me, no matter with which contestant they win. Although I wanted Katie to win S17, I was more than happy with Jake winning because (a) I actually liked Jake's run on the show and (b) my favourite coach won that season.

This is not an invitation to start that dreadful debate. Please, I don't even want to see their names on this thread. That season was over 4 years ago.

I didn't say any names though. And for a good reason

I don't care who their coach is unless I'm worried the coach will treat them as fodder or make stupid mistakes with them. Unfortunately, the coaches are the emphasis of the show and the draw for the majority of viewers.

[Archanium]

It's not really important, but I sometimes take it into consideration just because the type of singers that I like usually will do better (and last longer) on certain team and not doing so well when they're on other teams.

If I ranked different finale scenarios in terms of personal satisfaction with the results, this is what it would be:

1. One of my top snowflakes win the season, regardless of their team affiliation. 
2. If not one of my top snowflakes, one of my favourite coaches better win the season. That would make the results less disappointing. 
3. If not my favourite coach, literally anyone but a generic country male artist on Team Blake 
4. Generic country male artist on Team Blake (please, for the love of God, no )

If I applied this formula to S18:

1. Thunderstorm or Toneisha winning S18 would've been ideal
2. Kelly winning S18 with Micah would've been the next best thing.
3. CammWess winning S18.
4. Todd winning S18 

 

If I applied this formula to S19:

1. DeSz or Carter winning S19 would've been ideal (Kelly and Gwen are already my two favourite coaches from S19)
2. John Holiday winning S19 would've been the next best thing.
3. Jim/Ian winning S19 (Jim > Ian)

I don't really care which coach they're with necessarily, but if the coach isn't known for, uh, coaching well or making good decisions then I might feel a bit nervous for the contestant's run just because I'm selfish and I want to hear more from them. However, if I really like them, I'll still follow their work post-the Voice anyway.

[QueenCami]

Don't care at all in terms of rooting for the contestant. I might wish my favorites are on a certain team b/c I know the coach will do well with them, but I won't not root for a contestant b/c of the team they're on. For example, I loved Allegra despite not liking Nick lol

Oh, I beg to differ.  The coach is very important.  They're the only reason I watch.  I don't even care two licks about the contestants after the season.  They're gone.  They're not coming back.  But the coaches are.  So I support them.
