The Voice UK is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The second series was hosted by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates on BBC One and started on 30 March 2013.[1] On 13 November 2012, it was confirmed that all four coaches from last year would return.[2]

On 22 June 2013, it was announced that Andrea Begley was the winner of The Voice UK, marking Danny O'Donoghue's first and only win as coach.[3]

This was the final series to feature Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue as coaches, and Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates as co-presenters.

Coaches and presenters

[edit]
Coaches for series 2 of The Voice UK

In the summer of 2012, it was reported that Jessie J and Sir Tom Jones were in talks to leave the series, with Cheryl and Cliff Richard lined up to replace them. Despite these claims, in November 2012, it was confirmed that will.i.am, Jessie J, Jones and Danny O'Donoghue would all be returning for the second series.[2] This is the final series to feature Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue as coaches, as both left the show before the 2014 series.

Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates both confirmed that they would be returning for their second series as presenters in November 2012.[2]

Production

[edit]

The show's Blind Auditions moved to dock10, MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester.[2] It was also confirmed that the live show format would be tweaked for this series,[4] which included the cutback from six live shows in the first series to only three live shows, and the pre-recorded results show had also been dropped, with the results given on the same night as the performances.[5] On 28 February 2013, four ten-second teaser trailers were posted to the show's official website and YouTube page.[6]

Blind auditions

[edit]

The blind auditions began in Salford, Greater Manchester on 14 December 2012 at dock10, MediaCityUK after moving from BBC Television Centre in London. Each coach had the length of the artists' performance to decide if they wanted that artist on their team. Should two or more coaches have wanted the same artist, then the artist chose their coach. Once the coaches picked their team, they pitted them against each other in the battles.[7]

Battle rounds

[edit]

The recording of the battle rounds took place on 9 and 10 February 2013 at The Fountain Studios and aired on 11, 12 and 25 May 2013.[citation needed] This year's battle rounds featured a new "steal" twist. After each battle round the losing artist then pitched to the other three coaches on why they should join their team. It was then up to the coaches (who have a limited amount of time) to press their red button to steal the artist. They could press their button as many times as they liked but were only allowed to steal one artist. If more than one coach wanted to steal the same artist then it was up to the artist to decide which team to join. The first battle rounds episode aired from 8.35pm until 9.50pm, the second aired on from 7.00pm until 8.00pm and the third ran for 130 minutes from 7.10pm until 9.20pm (There was no episode on 18 May due to the Eurovision Song Contest).

The battle round advisors were will.i.am working with Dante Santiago, Jessie J with Claude Kelly, Tom Jones with Cerys Matthews and Danny O'Donoghue with Dido.

Knockout rounds

[edit]

The recording of the knockout rounds took place at The Fountain Studios on 21 February 2013 and aired on 1 and 2 June 2013.[citation needed] Before each knockout round, the coach chose one artist from their team to get a "fast pass" to the live shows, the remaining six artists from that team were then split up into two groups of three. At the end of each knockout round the coach then decided out of the three artists who won, and therefore made up their three artists to take to the live shows. Episode 1 aired from 8.30pm until 9.40pm, while episode 2 aired from 7.15pm until 8.30pm.

Live shows

[edit]

The live performance shows were aired live from Pinewood Studios and ran for three consecutive weeks, beginning on 7 June 2013. The BBC decided to move the first live show to Friday 7 June to avoid a clash with the Britain's Got Talent final on Saturday 8 June,[10] and the live coverage of the 2013 Canadian Grand Prix on BBC One prevented alternative air dates over the weekend. However, the remaining two live shows still aired on 15 and 22 June 2013.

Jessie J performed her latest single "Wild" on the Final Live Show.[11] The first live show featured a medley of performances from the previous year's winner and finalists, Leanne Mitchell, Bo Bruce, Vince Kidd and Tyler James,[12] and a performance by guest Tom Odell.[13] Avril Lavigne and Beady Eye performed during the semi-final on 15 June.[14][15] Michael Bublé and Dizzee Rascal featuring Robbie Williams performed on the final on 22 June 2013.[16][17]
