The Voice (Season 6) (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The sixth season of the American reality talent show The Voice premiered on February 24, 2014, on NBC. Carson Daly returned to host. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their sixth season, while Shakira and Usher returned for their second season after being replaced by original coaches Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green in season five.

Josh Kaufman of Team Usher was announced as the winner of the season.

Coaches and hosts

The coaching panel once again saw a change as Adam Levine and Blake Shelton were rejoined by season four coaches Shakira and Usher. Christina Aguilera took another hiatus from the show and CeeLo Green departed at the end of season five. Carson Daly returned as host. It was reported that Christina Milian, who served as the social media correspondent in seasons two through four, was open to returning, but ultimately did not. Josh Kaufman was the first stolen contestant to win the show.

Artists serving as mentors for the first Battle Rounds included Miranda Lambert (who previously appeared in the second season in the series as an advisor) for Team Shakira, The Band Perry for Team Blake, Jill Scott for Team Usher, and Aloe Blacc for Team Adam.

With the replacement of the Knockout Round with the "Battles, Round 2", Coldplay frontman Chris Martin served as the sole advisor for all four teams.

Distinct from seasons four and five, the season six Playoffs were prerecorded, thus featuring no interactive viewer component, and therefore no subsequent results shows. The top twenty artists performed for the coaches, with each coach eliminating two artists from their teams. The remaining top twelve artists advanced to the live shows.

Live shows

The live shows is the final phase of the competition. It consists of five weekly shows and the season finale.

Also, "Instant Save" vote totals are shown in a ticker bar onscreen during its five-minute voting window (including throughout the commercial break) to update viewers on each contestant's percentage of votes.

Semifinals: Week 4 (May 12 & 13)

The Top 5 performed on Monday, May 12, 2014, with results following Tuesday, May 13, 2014. This week, each contestant sang two songs; one chosen by their coach, and another selected in tribute to their supporters.

Jake Worthington, Josh Kaufman, and Kristen Merlin received the iTunes bonus multiplier with their studio recordings of "Heaven", "All of Me" and "Foolish Games" reaching the third, fourth, and sixth positions on the iTunes Top 200 singles chart at the close of the voting window, respectively.

The top three season five finalists, (Tessanne Chin, Jacquie Lee, and Will Champlin) will debut their newest singles during the results show.

With the elimination of Kristen Merlin, Shakira no longer has any contestants remaining on her team.

Finals: Week 5 (May 19 & 20)

The Top 3 performed on Monday, May 19, 2014, with the season finale on Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Performances in this round consist of a "fans choice" reprise performance of a song from earlier in the season, a duet with the respective coach, and a solo song. The final episode was preceded by a one-hour recap of the competitive performances, and included two hours of performances by this season's top 20 contestants, as well as guest performances from the likes of Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Tim McGraw, OneRepublic, and the announcement of the winner.

Because of a technical glitch in the iTunes system, all iTunes votes for the final episode were invalidated, with no net effect to the total outcome.
