The fifth season of the American reality talent show The Voice premiered on September 23, 2013 on NBC.[1] Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their fifth season, while CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera returned after being replaced by Usher and Shakira in season 4. This was the final season to feature all four original coaches and Green's last season as a coach.[2]

This is the first season to extend the use of steals in the knockout round, which was previously made available only in the Battle rounds;[3] [4] and the Instant Save during live shows, allowing Twitter's tweets from the viewers (based on the airing of East Coast/Pacific time zones) to save a contestant eligible from elimination. The iTunes multiplier bonus introduced on season 3 also returned but the multiplier was reduced to five, which was still applied till this day.

Carson Daly returned to host the show, but Christina Milian did not return as the social media correspondent and Daly assumed the roles for both.[5]

Tessanne Chin was named the winner of the season as the first foreign artist to win the show, marking Adam Levine's second win as a coach.

Coaches and hosts

CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera returned from their hiatus and rejoined Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Usher and Shakira were confirmed to return for the following season. Carson Daly returned as host, but Christina Milian did not return as social media correspondent, as she wished to focus on her new album, and to compete on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars.[6] Daly then assumed the position as the social media correspondent.

In February 2014, Green announced his departure from The Voice and thus making it his last season for the show.

The Battles

The Battle rounds (episodes 7 to 10) comprised two 2-hour episodes and two 1-hour episodes each on October 14, 15, 21 and 22, 2013 with six battles in each episode. The coaches once again utilized mentors during this round and each has enlisted the help of the following: Adam Levine brought in OneRepublic's lead singer, Ryan Tedder; CeeLo Green brought in Miguel; Christina Aguilera brought in Ed Sheeran; and finally, Blake Shelton brought in Cher.[27] Continuing with the format introduced in season 3, the coaches can steal two losing artists from another coach.
