Riley Green is heading to The Voice this fall.

In May, the “Think As You Drunk” singer was named one of the coaches for Season 30 of The Voice alongside Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, and Queen Latifah.

Season 30 will premiere on September 21, 2026, with a premiere week that includes episodes airing on Monday and Tuesday.

Filming the Blind Auditions have already taken place, and after just one season, Riley Green already has suggestions for the longtime NBC show, even if it is harsh.

Riley Green’s Suggestion Would Be So Harsh

Now that Green has spent some time in the iconic red chair, he already has thought of ways to improve the show’s format.

As we all know by now, the Blind Auditions are the first stage of The Voice, where coaches listen to contestants perform without seeing them.

If a coach likes what they hear, they press their button to turn their chair around and offer the singer a spot on their team. When multiple coaches turn, the contestant gets to choose which coach they want to work with for the rest of the competition.

In previous seasons, coaches end their Blind Auditions when their team has 12 singers on them.

Green appeared on the podcast This Past Weekend With Theo Von, where he spoke about his experience on The Voice so far.

Green acknowledged that he’s entering unfamiliar territory.

“It’s very household,” he said. “I would guess that most of my fans are country music fans. I could tell from the first day of filming that I’m the least famous person as a coach on The Voice right now with fans of The Voice.”

Green added that being the least recognizable coach among viewers is actually part of the opportunity, saying, “The fact that I know I’m not as well known in that world [compared to Levine, Clarkson, and Queen Latifah] tells me how much I’ll gain from it, cause it’s putting me in front of so many different people.”

While he’s excited about joining the show, Green joked that if he had his way, he’d completely overhaul the Blind Auditions.

“I think the chairs start facing the contestant and then you turn away when you don’t like it,” he said.

He continued, “What would be tough about that would be that you’re looking at them. It’s personal. Cause the surprise when they turn, people don’t look like they sound or it’s not who or what you think it is.”

Von agreed, joking that it would be absolutely diabolical to do the show that way.

Green said another reason he’d prefer that format is because he doesn’t enjoy having to explain to contestants why he didn’t turn his chair for them.
