The program seeks solo artists and duos that perform various types of music: pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, Latin, country, blues and indie. Auditions were held July 15 to August 31, 2011, in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, and Orlando.[3]
All four coaches return for their second season. The season expanded from the first season where each coach has 12 artists (a usual size on almost all seasons) on their team, up from eight as in the first season. The blind auditions and the battle rounds have also been extended. Executive producer Mark Burnett said that a results show would be on Tuesday nights in the spring.[4]
The season premiered on Sunday, February 5, 2012, immediately following Super Bowl XLVI.
Jermaine Paul was named the winner of the season, marking Blake Shelton's first win as a coach. With Paul's win being the second African-American male winner and first winner from New York.
