This is the first season to extend the use of steals in the knockout round, which was previously made available only in the Battle rounds;[3][4] and the Instant Save during live shows, allowing Twitter's tweets from the viewers (based on the airing of East Coast/Pacific time zones) to save a contestant eligible from elimination.[5] The iTunes multiplier bonus introduced on season three also returned but the multiplier was reduced to five, which was still applied till this day.[6]
Carson Daly returned to host the show, but Christina Milian did not return as the social media correspondent and Daly assumed the roles for both.[7]
Tessanne Chin was announced as the winner of the season, making her the first foreign artist to win the show, and also marked Adam Levine's second win as a coach.
Coaches and hosts
CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera returned from their hiatus and rejoined Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Usher and Shakira were confirmed to return for the following season. Carson Daly returned as host, but Christina Milian did not return as social media correspondent, as she wished to focus on her new album, and to compete on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars.[8] Daly then assumed the position as the social media correspondent.
In February 2014, Green announced his departure from The Voice and thus making it his last season for the show. It was also the last of the three seasons to feature the original coach lineup.[2]
