The Voice (Tengaged) Season Four

The fourth season of the tengaged reality show The Voice  was announced on February 14, 2015 before the semifinal of the third season when applications were opened. The full coaching line-up was confirmed during the semi-final episode. Original coaches Lauren, Sam and Bernel announced they were returning for their fourth consecutive season each. New coach Nikki was revealed as the new coach replacing Eoin once he announced his departure. Michael will also be returning for his fourth season as host of the live shows. The season is set to premiere on February 19, 2015.

Overview
For the first time, each coach is filling teams of 12. Like the previous three seasons, season four will consist of three phases: Blind Auditions, a Battle Phase and Live Performance shows. In the Blind Auditions, each coach will hand-pick teams of twelve contestants through an audition process. Each coach has the length of the auditioner's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on their team; if two or more coaches want the same singer, then the singer gets to choose their coach. New to this season, each coach will be given two 'steals' in the first Battle Round and there will be a second Battle Round that will have no Steal element. The Live Shows will feature a Live Playoff phase that sees each team go against each other for a spot in the Top 12.

Applications to audition for The Voice season four were opened on February 14, 2015, and were filmed from February 16, 2015. The first episode of the Blind Auditions was on February 19, 2015 as part of the premiere episode.
