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. Coaches Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton returned, though Green and Aguilera appeared as performers instead of coaches. Shakira and Usher then served as replacements coaches for Aguilera and Green. The team sizes were trimmed back down to 12 per team (season two's team size), with each coach having two 'steals' in the Battle Rounds.
Auditions were held from January 12 to February 17, 2013 in Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston and New York City.
Carson Daly hosted for a fourth consecutive season, while Christina Millian 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 was Usher and Shakira. Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera were substituted in order to focus on their music careers. However, Green and Aguilera will be returning in the following season.
The team sizes went from 16, back down to 12.
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 The Voice Australia) as advisers of Levine, Shelton, Usher and Shakira 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.
