Season two of the The Voice, the American reality talent show, premiered on February 5, 2012; in the 10 p.m. ET slot immediately following NBC's coverage of Super Bowl XLVI.[1] The first promo aired on NBC on Saturday, October 8, 2011 during an episode of Saturday Night Live.[2]
The program seeks solo artists and duos that perform all types of music: pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, latin, country, blues and indie.[3] 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: each coach has 12 artists on their team, rather than 8 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]

Episodes 6–9: Battle Rounds (4 weeks)
The first 2-hour episode was broadcast on March 5, 2012.
After the Blind Auditions, each coach has 12 contestants for the Battle Rounds, which air from March 5 to March 26. Coaches begin narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors." Each episode features battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concludes with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants; the six winners for each coach advance to the live shows.
The trusted advisors for these episodes are: Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke working with Adam Levine; Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert working with Blake Shelton; Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Ne-Yo working with Cee Lo Green; and Jewel and Lionel Richie working with Christina Aguilera. [11]
