The fourth season of the American reality talent show The Voice premiered on March 25, 2013, on NBC and was hosted by Carson Daly, while Christina Milian returned as the social media correspondent.[1] Coaches Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton returned as coaches, both for their fourth season. CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera appeared as performers instead of coaches. Two new coaches Shakira and Usher served as replacement coaches for Aguilera and Green, leaving Levine & Shelton the only coaches remaining from the inaugural season. The team sizes were trimmed back down to 12 per team (season 2's team size), with each coach having two 'steals' in the Battle Rounds.
Danielle Bradbery, a 16-year-old country singer (then-youngest winner of the series) from Cypress, Texas won the season, marking Blake Shelton's third win as a coach.[2]
Auditions were held from January 12 to February 17, 2013, in Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston and New York City.
Carson Daly hosted for his fourth consecutive season, while Christina Milian returned for her third season as social media correspondent. The judges' line-up saw a change for the first time since the inception of the show. Joining coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton were Usher and Shakira. CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera were substituted in order to focus on their music careers. However, Green and Aguilera would be returning in the following season.[3]
This season's advisers for the Battle Rounds were Hillary Scott (lead singer of Lady Antebellum), Sheryl Crow, Pharrell Williams, and Joel Madden (lead singer of Good Charlotte and coach on Australian version) as advisers of Levine, Shelton, Usher, and Shakira's teams respectively. All advisers except Madden returned to coach on their respective teams during week three of the live shows, so Shakira brought in Green to help coach her team.

The Top 12 performed on Monday, May 13, 2013, and received the results on Tuesday, May 14, 2013.[7] [8] Usher brought in his choreographer, Aakomon Jones, to help coach the artists on his team. During the performance episode's second hour, host Carson Daly mentioned on the changes made to the iTunes multiplier bonus (which remained at tenfold if the artist's single peaked at the top 100 during the voting period), where only one download of an artist's eligible song per registered iTunes account during the designated voting window will count as a vote towards that week's results. The change was contemporaneously added to the "Vote Help" section of the show's NBC.com voting page. None of the artists reached the top 10 on iTunes, so no bonuses were awarded this week.[9] He also mentioned that the iTunes bonus is only given to those in the Top 10 at the close of voting (10am EST).[10]

The Top 5 performed two songs each on Monday, June 10, 2013, and received the results on Tuesday, June 11, 2013. One song is chosen by their coach, and the other is chosen by the contestant as a dedication to another (The Swon Brothers dedicated their band members past and present, Allen for her children, Carrington for her best friends, Bradbery for her parents and best friend, and Chamuel for her coach, Usher)[15]
With the eliminations of Allen and Carrington, Levine and Shakira no longer have any remaining artists on their teams, with the latter being the first contestant to reach the Top 10 of iTunes and to be eliminated in the same week, and also the first time a pair of contestants who pitted together in a Battle round eliminated on the same week. It also marked the first time that a new coach has coached an artist competing in the finale on his first attempt, as Usher had Chamuel available on his team.

At the beginning of the results show for The Live Playoffs, Carson Daly announced that "inconsistencies" were found in the voting, so votes cast via text-messaging and online would be excluded from the vote count to ensure fairness.[63] [64] Daly brought Jason George, CEO of Telescope, the company that manages the show's voting system, on stage to stress that the exclusion would not have affected the results either way.[65] Reported issues were that voting had closed on the Facebook app and website at 11.30 pm PST (an hour and a half after the show's West Coast airing) when it should have ended at 10 am EST the next day, which may have been a result of too many users voting at the same time.[66]
Upon seeing that his team members Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons had not been saved, coach Adam Levine said, "I hate this country," right before the top 8 results were announced.[67] This brought some angry responses on his Twitter page.[68] He then sent a series of Tweets with dictionary definitions of the words "joke," "humorless," "lighthearted," and "misunderstand" to state that it was merely a "heat of the moment" reaction.[69] Levine later provided an explanation: "Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me, and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results."[70]
