There are a number of reasons why the veteran coach is now a fan favorite.

Season 24 of The Voice, one of the most popular singing competitions on American television, began just over a month ago, but the show is already midway through this installment. Just this Tuesday, the second episode of Knockouts aired. Naturally, fans are bittersweet about the impending conclusion of this season that they've come to like.

While Season 24 of The Voice boasts a number of talented contestants, it's the lineup of celebrity coaches and the dynamic between them that draws millions of viewers to the small screen. Remarkably, fans are most fond of Gwen Stefani, which is odd, given that she has been the most hated coach on The Voice throughout its extensive twelve-year run.

Here are the main factors that have allowed Gwen Stefani to win over the audience in Season 24 of The Voice.

Chemistry with the Other Coaches

Accompanied by another veteran John Legend, Season 23's winning coach Niall Horan, and Queen of country Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani has created admirable rapport with her co-stars. In particular, fans are swooning over the mother-son relationship that Stefani and Horan portray on the show. Gwen's obsession with Reba is also fun to watch.

Diverse Teams

The Voice 24 has seen a variety of talented contestants. Interestingly, Team Gwen is the most diverse in many respects. Primarily, fans appreciate the variety of genres represented on Stefani's team.

Brilliant Song Choices

In addition to immensely talented artists, Season 24 also featured lesser-known songs that rarely make it to major competition shows. In this regard, Gwen Stefani offered the most variety of song choices performed in the current season.

Coherent Criticism

Most importantly, Gwen Stefani has excelled as a coach this season. Out of the entire panel, she gives her team members the most constructive criticism. She also seems to have a strategic plan for Season 24. And so far, her choices have been interesting to follow.

'I was mostly indifferent to Gwen in the past, but this season I'm appreciating her contributions much more. She is kind but is also willing to give constructive feedback, and I think her commentary on the performances has become much more complex and interesting,' one Reddit user shared their opinion.

In this light, it is none too surprising that Stefani is adored by The Voice fans.

Season 24 of The Voice will return with another episode of Knockouts on 13th November.
