Chronology

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. [1] Coaches Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton returned, though Green and Aguilera appeared as performers instead of coaches. Two new coaches Shakira and Usher served as replacement 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.

Reality television genre of television programming that documents unscripted situations and actual occurrences

Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring unknown individuals rather than professional actors. Reality television came to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the global successes of the series Survivor, Idols, and Big Brother, all of which became global franchises. Reality television shows tend to be interspersed with "confessionals", short interview segments in which cast members reflect on or provide context for the events being depicted on-screen. Competition-based reality shows typically feature gradual elimination of participants, either by a panel of judges or by the viewership of the show.

Talent show event, television or radio program that focuses on the potential audition of singers, dancers, models and the like

A talent show is an event in which participants perform the arts of singing, dancing, lip-syncing, acting, martial arts, playing an instrument, or other activities to showcase skills. Many talent shows are performances rather than contests, but some are actual contests. In the instance of a contest, participants may be motivated to perform for a reward, trophy, or prize of some kind. For example, a high school might not have many students with any interest in performing in front of the student body for the sole purpose of performing alone and may offer different prizes as an incentive for these students to participate in the contest.

<i>The Voice</i> (U.S. TV series) American talent competition series

The Voice is an American singing competition television series broadcast on NBC. It premiered during the spring television cycle on April 26, 2011, and expanded into the fall cycle with the premiere of the third season on September 10, 2012. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, it has aired fifteen seasons and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent contested by aspiring singers, age 13 or over, drawn from public auditions.

Week 5: Quarterfinals (June 3 & 4)

The Top 6 performed two songs each on Monday, June 3, 2013, and received the results on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. Each contestant sang two songs, one of their choice, and one of the coach's choice. Only one contestant was eliminated this week instead of the usual two. Taylor Swift attended Michelle Chamuel's rehearsal for "I Knew You Were Trouble". [12] Amber Carrington had forgotten the lyrics to "I Remember You" during her performance, though it was not commented on by any of the coaches. [13]

Week 6: Semifinals (June 10 & 11)

The Top 5 performed two songs each on Monday, June 10, 2013, and received the results on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, for a spot in the final three. One song is chosen by their coach, and the other is chosen by the contestant as a dedication to another. The Swon Brothers dedication was to their band members past and present, Sasha Allen's was to her children, Amber Carrington's was to her best friends, Danielle Bradbery's was to her parents and best friend, and Michelle Chamuel's was to her coach, Usher. [15]

With the eliminations of Sasha Allen and Amber Carrington, Adam Levine and Shakira no longer have any remaining artists on their teams. It marked the first time that a new coach has coached an artist competing in the finale on his first attempt, as Usher still has Michelle Chamuel available on his team. Note: Coincidentally, Sasha and Amber were put against each other in the battles, and the two were later eliminated together in the Top 5. Amber Carrington was the first contestant to reach the Top 10 of iTunes and to be eliminated in the same week.

Controversies

Voting controversy

At the beginning of the results show for The Live Playoffs, Carson Daly announced that "inconsistencies" were found in the voting, so votes cast via text-messaging and online would be excluded from the vote count to ensure fairness. [62] [63] Daly brought Jason George, CEO of Telescope, the company that manages the show’s voting system, on stage to stress that the exclusion would not have affected the results either way. [63] [64] Reported issues were that voting had closed on the Facebook app and website at 11.30 pm PST (an hour and a half after the show's West Coast airing) when it should have ended at 10 am EST the next day, [64] which may have been a result of too many users voting at the same time. [65]

Adam Levine comment

Upon seeing that his team members Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons had not been saved, coach Adam Levine said, "I hate this country," right before the top 8 results were announced. [66] This brought some angry responses on his Twitter page. [67] He then sent a series of Tweets with dictionary definitions of the words "joke," "humorless," "lighthearted," and "misunderstand" to state that it was merely a "heat of the moment" reaction. [67] [68] Levine later provided an explanation: "Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me, and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results." [69]
