The fourth season of the Romanian reality talent show Vocea României premiered on ProTV on September 16, 2014.Pavel Bartoș returned as host, while Nicoleta Luciu left the show. Oana Tache replaced Vlad Roșca as the social media correspondent. Loredana Groza, Smiley and Marius Moga returned as coaches, while Tudor Chirilă replaced Horia Brenciu as the fourth coach. The show was moved from its usual Saturday evening slot to Friday evening, with the premiere on a Tuesday.
This season brought rule changes. The blind auditions were expanded from six to seven shows. The battle round was simplified by allowing coaches to steal one losing contestant only, instead of two as in the previous year, and eliminating the sing-off from the show. Thus, every coach advances with eight contestants to the live shows, as in season three. The jury/televote split in the semi-final was also changed from 50/50 to 40/60.
The season finale aired on December 19, 2014. , initially mentored by Smiley, but stolen by Chirilă in the battle rounds, was declared winner of the season. It was Chirilă's first victory as a coach and the first time a stolen contestant had won the competition.
In March 2014, ProTV announced their intention to turn season 4 into a children's competition, according to the The Voice Kids format, but they changed their minds a month later and decided to have a competition for people ages 16 and up, as in previous years.
ProTV also revamped the set of the show and used better sound equipment compared to previous seasons.
Former coach Horia Brenciu left the show and was replaced with Tudor Chirilă.
Former producer Mona Segall resigned from the MediaPro trust in April 2014 and moved to the rival channel Antena 1, together with her entire team. The orchestra led by George Natsis followed them, stating that they wanted to continue working together. These decisions came in the context of a controversial series of dismissals and resignations from the media trust at the beginning of 2014, influenced by changes made by the then-newly appointed CEO of ProTV, Aleksandras Česnavičius, who was implementing a cost-saving strategy.
